g. Btu? Aren't air-conditioners
rated in horsepower and tonnage?
Horsepower and tonnage measurements have
caused confusion and made it difficult to
make comparisons of different models. Since
1856, however, most manufacturers have
been testing and rating air-conditioners with
the British Thermal Unit (B.t.u.). Tech
nically, a Btu. is the amount of cooling
capacity required to change the temperature
of pound of water by one degree Fahren-
heit True comparisons can be made on
this basis.
z. How long do air conditioning
units last? Do they need servic-
ing? Properly serviced each spring, your
unit viii give optimum performance and last
many years. In the case of window units, it
is suggested you consult your dealer as to
service charges, requirements of filters, and
cleaning. Winter storage for window units,
and service contracts for all types of resi-
dental systems are available from your
dealer.
8. How can I find a responsible
dealer? A qualified dealer can save you
money and assure continued satisfaction
with your long-term investment in air.

The Electric Institute will provide names of

I think that my mother
would let. me do it because
she knows how important it
is to me, but my father is
dead set against it. His ideas
are really out Of the Victorian
age. He gives me that stuff
about mo daughter of mine
will display herself half naked
before a cheering stadium. "
We aren't half naked. And
people aren't cheering us, but
the team. My dad just doesn't
understand anything.
Mrs. X. r. - ! am really
caught in the middle on this
thing. I can't help but sympa-
thize with Dianne. 1t certainly
means a lot to q young girl
to be singled out for this spe-
cial honor. Besides, Dianne is
full of fun and loves to par.
ticipate in things, This is
such q fine chance.
But I think my husband is
right about objecting to the
costumes the girls wear and
the way they cavort. They
are not as bad as the ones
I've seen from some schools.
but these costumes are brief
enough. Several mothers have
told me they wouldn't permit
their daughters to do it.
Dianne says those mothers are
jealous that their daughters
weren't chosen. It could be.
The whole thing bothers me.
We have offered Dianne a
wonderful vacation trip this
summer If she will only give
UP this idea of being a drum
majorette-but she won't.
THE COUNCILS VIEW
When the generals are UNI
certain and find they have to
bride the men to move in the
right direction. they may as
we'll give up the war.
The right direction" on
the issue of drum majorettes
or any other activity problems
of teen-agers is an individ-
ual matter. Standards vary.
Sometimes special exceptions
to rules are made for the sake
of a particular gain for the
child. But it never hurts a
child to be deprived of an
activity he wants-if he UNI
derstands that some special
principle is involved.
Dianne apparently knows
through experience that nag
ging will help her cause. She
has already been offered a
bride and she knows that she
can divide and probably con-
quer her parents. Naturally.
she hasn't too much respect
for her parents standards.
We get the impression that
Mr.. K. R. feels helpless
against the strong odds of the
prevailing standards. He
busters emotionally into a
position without giving Di-
Anne a fair hearing or the
total problem much thought.
Then Mrs. <. r. thinks it
over and talks him out Of it.
No objective standard has
been set and the only thing
Dianne has learned is that
you can do as you please If
you are persistent and make
enough noise.

Paul states that he alone heard
the voice of Jesus speaking I'M
to him, that is understood what
was said, because the words
were in Hebrew, and Saul him.
self could speak in Hebrew
tongue. And those that were
with him did not understand
Hebrew language.
SAUL is CONVERTED:
"And Saul arose from the
earth; and when his eyes were
opened, he saw no man: but
they led him by the hand, and
brought him into Damascus"
Fortunately again, the men
with him were not as blinded
as he, or they would have been
no one in the party to lead
him by the hand into the CITY.
"And he was three days with
out sight, and neither did eat
nor drink" Saul must have had
acquaintance in the city, for
he found lodging there. He evil
IDENTIFY knew where he was 60
ing even before leaving Jeru-
salem.
PRACTICAL POINTS on the
Lesson: SauPS experience on
the Damascus road has been
called the great conformation.
There Saul met Christ and a
great Transformation took
place in his life. His name.
even was changed from Saul
to Paul. When person has
been confronted by Christ. he
is never again the same per-
son. Men must be converted
before they can be saved. Good
works outside of Christ will
not save. Christ can change the

ed follower.

FBI Withdrawal

The fact that the FBI agents have
been withdrawn from the Poplarville
lynching case does not prove, as some
people have claimed, that Federal
antilynching law is needed. Such need
will be established only If the Mississippi
authorities should fail to use the EVIL
dence gathered by the FBI in bona
f1de attempt to convict the lynchers.
It is true that the agents found
no evidence of violation of Federal
law. But it does not follow from this
that they were unable to develop any
evidence.
No one has said that the FBI agents
have turned up evidence against the
lynchers. Attorney General Rogers has
stated, however, that the FBI inquiry
clearly established that the persons
responsible for the death of Mack
Parker had not violated the Federal
kidnapping statute and no other sue
cessful Federal prosecution could be
maintained"
To us, this means that the agents
know who lynched the rape suspect.
And If they were able to learn the iden-
tity of the lyncherS, we suspect that
they also were able to obtain evidence
against them. Those who are calling
for Federal legislation would do well

Reckless WALKING

A study of local pedestrian accidents
during the past 10 years has shown that
more men, women and children are
killed here by reckless walking than by
reckless driving. During the 10-year
period surveyed by the American Auto
mobile Association, two-thirds Of all
traff1c deaths on Washington's streets
were those of pedestrians. And two
thirds of the pedestrians killed were
crossing the street at places other than
croSswalks. The two most frequent
causes of death were emerging from
between parked cars and lodging among
moving vehicles between intersections
Surprisingly, far fewer children were
killed while jaywalking than adults.
The majority of all pedestrians killed
were old enough to know better than
to be careless in crossing streets. About
two-thirds, for example, were As or
older. Yet these composed the age group
with the worst record for darting from
between parked automobiles or trying
to buck the tide of traffic 1t is against
this background of pedestrian needless
ness that District police have launched
a drive to save lives by cracking down
on jaywalkers-eSpecially in the down.
town section where most pedestrian
deaths have occurred. Reckless walkers
caught in this drive should be thankful,
rather than resentful-for the police
are trying to save their lives, not harass
or embarraSs them.
