cuses that the Romans in
vented to make the burdens
endurable.
Now that Federal aid to
education is agitating the
country, I am surprised that
no one In Congress has come
forward with a plan like "the
system of alimentary inSti-
tutions" invented b! the
Emperor Nerva, and carried
on, extended and improved
by his successor, Trajan-
certainly one of the greatest
Roman Emperors.
This was a system to help
the education of children,
particularly those whose par
ents were poor. The plan was
simple and effective. In each
town where 1t was needed,
the government made long
term loans on improved real
estate at S per cent interest,
and this interest was as
signed for the support of the
public schools. The capital
investment was secure since
1t was invested in mortgages
on improved lands and the
government obligated itself
not to call the loans before
maturity. The mortgages re-
mained as assets in the
imperial treasury and the
interest supported the
schools.
Perhaps a variation Of this
plan could be substituted in
many instances for the out
right grants now proposed.
Or. adapted to modern con-
ditionS, it might be used to
pay for the college education
OF those worthy students
who, because of the rising
costs, may be denied it. Thus,
there would be created a sort
Of revolving fund for ele-
mentary and for higher edu-
cation at an actual savings
Of vast sums to the Treasury.

boy, for the rite Of baptism
the ancient sign which de-
clares that every child who
comes trailing clouds of glory
belongs not to evil, but to the
high and holy.
With tender understand
ing the pastor who had min
istered to them across the
years explained the meaning
Of church membership. Then
he gave the hand of fellow
ship to the dear little miss
standing there in her fluffy
frock before the cleaning
Cross. 1t was all a touching
scene, and throughout the
audience handkerchiefS were
daubed at teary eyes.
In this scene was epito-
mized the inner strength of
America as contraSted to the
spiritual chill of negation
near the Kremlin's turreted
towers where this Christian
family will so soon set up the
altar of their devotion. The
terrible tragedy of the land
to which they 60 is that
atheists who have seized pow
er are using diabolical means
Of suppression to see to it
that the opium" of religion
shall not be given to the chill
dren of those who still believe
in the "old superstitions." ;"
Their cruel and callous OBJ
jective is that Soviet chill
dren shall never come to the
hour when, as did this little
American girl, they give
themselves to an allegiance
higher than the State.
A family such as this now
In Russia Is the answer to
Lenin'S credit Is neces-
Sary to use any ruSe, cunning,
unlawful methods, even con-
cealment of the truth" For
their creed, which they re-
peated with the great congre-
cation at this last service in
their loved church, includes
this statement Of belief
1--WE believe in God the
Father, infinite in power and
love. We believe that our
faith should manifest itself
in the service of love as set
forth in the example of our
blessed Lord, to the end that
the Kingdom of God may
come upon the earth" Here
Is the wave Of the future.
If Christendom is true to
its witness, instead of the
children and grandchildren
Of this little American girl
living under communism the
grandchildren of the spirit
ually starved millions in Rus
sia will live under freedom as
the Iron Curtain is demol-
ished and the emancipating
truth reaches a great people.
Such a family from America
is the finest product to ex-
port to Russia, or anywhere
else.
And so, under a Christian
Spire before their long Jour-
ney, they Joined their fellow
Christians on this good-by
Sunday in singing:
Long may our land be bright,
With freedoms holy light;
Protect US BY Thy might,
Great God our King.

A Baltimore inventor Gre

from the top Of the shaft. He
was serious, wanting to test a

either fame or a funeral. He
got neither, but he says he is

one or the other or both. He
Is one Of the exhibitors at

went to the Monument with
his parachute unconcealed

the Monument was not built

which is of silk, was rolled
up something like an UNI

SPIRES OF THE SPIRIT
Under a Spire i
BY DIR. FREDERICK BROWN HARRIS
Chaplain Of the United States Senate
Under the graceful spire of

Under the graceful spire Of
q Washington, D. c., church
one of the most beautiful
in the Nations Capital
there was recently unveiled
a scene Of deep significance.
Here, in a setting Of Gothic
! lovelineSS, at the high altar
Of the sanctuary, there was
framed the living picture of
a dedicated Christian family,
composed Of father, mother,
a teen-age son, and a win
some little daughter of 9. In
the presence of hundreds Of
worshiperS they stood to-
gether, facing their minister,
at that sacred place.
All eyes were fastened on
this family of four. Their
being called to the chancel
was a part of the morning
worship not included in the
order Of service as printed in
the attractive bulletin for
the day. There had been
stirring hymns, including
Faith of Our Fathers"
anthems by the Surpliced
choir. a pastoral prayer, the
reading Of the Holy Scrip
ture, and a message by q
well-known visiting preacher.
The sermon was based on the
striking question lifted up
from the Old Testament,
Can these dry bones live?"
What was said vividly sug-
geSted to devout souls, who
are anxiously regarding the
role Of the church around the
world in these days of destiny,
that the dry bones must live.
The whole service had been
calculated to emphasize re-
ligion not merely as a form,
but as a force in this embit-
tered world.
. The closing hymn - in
which that great congrega-
ton Joined with deep feeling,
beginning with "The worlds
aStir"-contained the verse,
But Thou. o Christ, art Mas
ter here,
Redeemed by Thee tDe stand
We challenge life ,Dithout q
fear,
We aoait for Thy command
Before these words rang
out under the vaulted nave
the family quartet was called
to the chancel. What was the
meaning Of this unannounced
part Of this hour of fellowship
and worship? It was because
by the next Sunday that
family would be thousands oi
miles away, probably not tc
return to their church, OF
their native land, til years
had passed. They had beer
active participants in the
work and worship of this
household Of faith whose as
sociations they would Sorely
miss. But many people trans
ferred to other communities
find like-minded groups to
welcome them to new and
fruitful fellowship and to ex-
ploits Of faith in other sur
roundings. Why. then, was
the thought and attention OF
so many focused upon this
particular family?
AnSwer-Because in q few
days they would be in Russia
The father, a captain In our
armed forces, had been as
signed to the staff of the
United States Embassy ir
Moscow. Before turning theil
faces toward the land where
the ruling regime denies and
derides all that was professed
and proclaimed at this church
service. the parents desired
that their young daughter be
received as a member of the
church to which for faithful,
years they had given theil
loyalty. Long before the
parents had brought her a!

HEARING WON
IN ALABAMA

Montgomery - Ala. - After
S l/2 years of delaying legal
tactics which banned the NAACP
throughout the State of Alabama,
the group has obtained a court
hearing.
Under direct orders of the
United States Supreme Court,
Alabama authorities scheduled
the trial for Dec. 27, which will
be held before Judge Walter B.
Jones in the Montgomery County
Circuit Court.
Roy Wilkins, and Mrs. Ruby
Hurley, NAACP southeast re-
gional secretary, will testify in
defense of the Association.
Without notice or warning, the
Association was served with a
restraining order and Injunction,
June l, 1856, on the ground that
it had failed to register as an
out-of-state corporation doing
business" in Alabama. The
NAACP contended that it did not
interpret this requirement as
applicable to non-profit organ
izationS.
Although the Association had
been operating in Alabama since
1913, this issue had not been
raised until 1856, two years after
the U. S. Supreme Court decision
banning segregation in public
education and in the midst of the
year-long Montgomery bus pro-
test.
Gov. John Patterson, then at
torney general, also charged the
NAACP with creating racial
tension and unrest" He was able
to secure $lOO, 100000 fine and
contempt of court ruling against
ciation's refusal to reveal the
names and addresses of its rank
and-file members and con-
tributors across the state.

Us. Men Are
Preening & Sproying
With CoIodna

New York (ANP) - You have
probably heard the old story Of
the response made by doddering
but happy octogenarian when
asked why he had chosen as his
new wife, a young woman Of ~ In
stead Of a woman nearer his age.
The old man smiled contentedly
and said: Il decided 1t would be
better for me to smell perfume the
rest Of my life than TO smell lima
ament."
He had a point, but women have
a point, too, and men are catching
on.
A woman, regardless how much
she admires the barrel chested,
athletic type man as a mate,
doesn't relish the plngent odors
given off by a male after he has
indulged in some manly physical
activity.
Men, Always Accommodating
She wants him smelling sweet,
Just as the old man wanted his
bride to smell, and the men, God
bless them, are accommodating.
So the human male Ia preening
himself as never before.
He's pouring literally millions of
dollars into what he prefers to call
good grooming shaving lotions,
colognes, powders, hair tonic, hair
pieces and hair dyes.
This goes on the year around as
the male, openly or sllrreptitouS-
| ly, buys these things at the stores
or frequents the barber shops and
other establishments dedicated to
even more glamorous grooming.
Women, too. are getting into the
picture. They buy the major share
of mems gift toiletrfes. Merchants
say they are about equally attract
ed by what the products promise
to do for men in their lives and
by the ornate paclxaging.

Boom Starts After World War II
Business has doomed since World
War II. More and more men are
losing their one time resistance
to using-or at least to buying
openly articles labelled for the
male SEX.
Manufacturers Of after shave 10
tions say last years sales should
top the 1859 record Of Sol million
dollars.
This total was a 1868 per- cent
jump since 1916. In that period
women's perfumes and toilet wat
ers increased In sales volume by
104.6 per cent
Men Like Luxury Fragance"
Men rarely buy items labelled
perfume for themselves. But they
do spend around "a million dollars
a year for items called luxury frag-
rance.
This fragrance buying Is over
