* Monday, February 10—Read Acts 17:26b-28:
All nations he has created from a common
““origin to dwell all over the earth.
y Jesus said, “The field is the world,” In his eyes
tlye) whole human race is a family—God’s family .
Modern science is helping us to realize it. It has
contracted our earth into a neighborhood. The air
plane, telephone, radio, newspapers, and moving
pictures draw us closely together, for good or for
@vll. Our commerce shows our dependence upon
each other. Take linoleum, for intsance: the Hindus
riige the jute, the Algerians cut the cork, and the
ygentinians grow the linseed for the oil; Asiay
Fita, and South America share their treasures. A
tfi"?ltems used in making telephones are: Japanese
ik, Indian mica, Irish flax, Russian platinum,
&ptinn cotton, South African gold. Forty com
adities from fifty-seven countries are used 1o
~make a steel knife. The diseases of plant life and
%‘pan know no national boundaries, Nor are there
ntiers in the life of the spirit. Rich and poor
pond and free, high and low, without distinction of
adce, color, or creed, we are all members of God's
great family.
- CATTON’S COMMENT |
i © BY BRUCE CATTON i
Every time some' Bopeful soul is found frozen t()'
death on the bleak slopes of a high mountain, thv‘
ayerage stay-at-home citizen feels the necessity of |
taking five mniutes off and triyng to figure out why |
the late lamented went up on the mountain in the,
girst place.
% Mountain climbing is one of the riskiest of all
gports, and it is also—from a purely material stand
po;nt—one of the most supremely useless. It but
ters, as the old saying has it, no parsnips what
gver.
‘ The world will roll along on its slow progress to
\é’herever it is going just about as well if all its
Wonely peaks remain permanently untrodden by hu
an feet.
8o when gome daring Alpinist pays for his daring
with his life—as happened recently to young Del
mar Fadden on the high crags of Mount Ranier—
thost of us have a little trouble trying to under
stand what it was all about. Why lead “with your
chin, in a world where most of us get enough of a
bumping: around without going out of our way to
l}%mr 7 ‘
~Anpd about the only explanation you can get is
ghat man is ah incurable .romanticist at heart—
Which is to say that he is an odd blend of poet and
fool. This leads him into a great deal of trouble,
and invitesin good share of the discontent which
eternally plagues him; but since it is also the chief
thing that sets him apart from his ancestor, thq
caye man, it is, on the whole, something for which
to be thankful. ! \
‘Because there is this ~wild, romtantic streak in
human hearts, a great mountain, to some men, is
always a challenge—and one that cannot be ignored.
The mountin lifts its white, wind-swept peak
a.galnst the incaleulable blue of the sky, and a man
looks at it and thinks, “It would be practically im
possible for anybody to get up there.”
‘And then, looking a little longer, he thinks, “Im
ossible—except for a really brave man who refused
mt anything lick him”; and after that he thinks,
“Besides, you would be up very high, if you did get
to the top, and you could see a tremendous way.”
And so, pretty soon, he sets off to climb it.
Now there are many ways to take a beating in
life, but none of them is much more effective
t this business of mountain climbing. All the
> of cold and wind, the terror of high places,
torture of insufficient oxygen, the malignancy
ome and snow—the climber gets a double dose of
tt‘)l'g, and every so often one or another of them
kifis him.
gut the climbers go on climbing, anyway; and
the very fqct that they do is one of the finest things
that has ever been recorded about the human race.
‘To take all that you have and risk it for some
thing that you can never turn into cash—something
that is a private matter between you and your own
soul—that is to be truly noble.
' iThe fact that men Wwill do that is the best of
clews to their kinship with something higher and
finer than anything this earth affords. |

FIVE SATURDAYS AT INTERVALS
This is leap year and February has not
only 29 days, but the calendar shows that
it has five Saturdays, Since the adoption
of the Gregorian calendar by Great Brit
ain and America in 1752, five Saturdays
in February has occurred only six times.
The previous occasions were in 1772,
1812, 1840, 1868, 1896 and 1908. It is al
leged that a February of five Saturdays
will not occur again until 1964 and after
that not until 1992,
However, every four years will be leap
year and those females who may desire
to propose, will, in no wise be barred
from carrying out their matrimonial in
tentions.
Another feature of the five Saturdays
that will be pleasing to many is, it pro
vides five “pay days” instead of four
which will be welcomed by those receiv
ing their weekly stipend. |
} THE NEGRO A MIGRATORY RACE
| Recent years has instilled in the negro
of the South the “wanderlust” germ
lwhich has carried him to all sections of
the country. A quarter of a century ago,
the negro was not of a migratory nature,
,but he was satisfied to live in his native
land where growing cotton was his chief
occupation. Strikes in the large industrial
centers of the country opened a new field
for the negro. They were paid good
wages as day laborers to supplant white
labor and soon there came a demand for
negro butlers, cooks, maids and for other
kinds of work around the homes and busi
nesses. The negro was keen to go north
‘and there he found a haven for living
conditions. Some of these roving negroes
have leturned to their homes in the South
on account of th&hard winters in that sec
tion of the coumtry, but a majority of
them remained and have become a poten
tial factor as servants as well as in poli-!
tics.
The Columbia, (S. C.) State has com
pleted a study of the migrating negroes
from the South and gives the following in
teresting information which was accu-,
rately compiled by authorative sources: !
“A census study just completed shows‘
that Virginia has contributed far more ne
groes than any other state to the popula
tions of New York, Philadelphfa, Wash
ington, Baltimore and Pittsburq'h.
“There are 327,706 negroes living in
New York. Virginia’s contribution was
13.6 per cent, or forty odd thousand.
South Carolina comes next with 10.3 per
cent. Alabama contributed but 1 per cent.
of New York’s negro population 24.2 per
cent were born in that state, Surprising
to us, is the record that 16.7 per cent
of New York’s negro population—more
than fifty thousand—come ‘“‘from foreiga
cuntries.” These foreign countries are not
named, but doubtless the West Indies fur
nished the large majority.
“There are more Virginia negroes inl
New York City than there are in Norfolk.
There are as many Mississippi born ne
groes in Chicago as there are in the com
bined populations of the four Mississippi
towns of Vicksburg, Meridian, Greenville
and Natchez; more Georgia negroes in
Detroit than there are in either Macon or
Augusta, and almost as many Charleston
born negroes in Philadelphia as there are
in South Carolina’s metropolis.
“Georgia negroes have gone, with im
partiality, to Eastern and Midwestern
cities; a far greater number from the Gulf
states have gone into the Mid-West, while
those from the South Atlantic states have
drifted to New York, New Jersey, Penn
sylvania and other states in the East.”
From the foregoing compilation of data
and statistics, it will be seen that Georgia
has contributed its full auota to the negro
population in the East and West. The
| figures are not surprising, in the least,
' when the negro populationsas of present
| time is summed up. &
THE “WANDERL})ST” TOURISTS
So far this wintery"the number of tour
ists afflicted w}i‘t)f the wanderlust germ
has been less thdn that of recent years.
No doubt, this condition is brought about‘
on account of the drastic law being en
forced by the Florida officers. Hereto
fore, these people have flocked to Florida
on account of the warm climate, but this
vear they are met at the state line and
turned back unlessthey can shecw that they
have money sufficient to bear their ex
penses while in the state or that they have
‘work already promised sufficient to pro
vide living expenses during the winter
months. Reports from South Georgia in
dicates that the number passing through
that section has been reduced materially.
There are, of course, men tramping over
the country who are deserving of help, but
a majority of them prefer beating their
way, rather than working for a susten
ance on which to live.
In California, it is different. That state
has no laws barring tramps from its bor
ders, consequently the number visiting
that state this winter has been the largest
in its history. Florida has lost the tramp
tourists and California has gained them.
They may not be desirable, but it is a
problem to know what to do with them
without laws regulating their visits. It
would not be surprising that before an
other year, the legislature of California
will enact anti-tramp laws similar to those
now in force in Florida. |

BEGIN HERE TODAY
Julia Craig, secretary to
George Woodford, lawyer, is
ambitious to become a night
club singer. Because of this,
she quarrels with Peter Kemp,
young lawyer, who is in love
with her.
Julia shares an apartment.
~ with Amy Sanders.
Woodford gives a yacht party
and asks Julia to come as a
singer. The guests include
Cintra Lee, dancer; Mrs. Joseph
widow; Huqo Nash and Royal
Nesbitt.
They go tg Evergreen lsland
where Woodford has a lodge. '
There Julij(muh'Tom Pay=§
son, campi nearby. Wood
ford, Nash) and Nesbitt go
hunting and' Nesbitt is injured.
The party leaves immediately
to get him to a doctor.
Julia gets a job singing on
Tony Latta’'s gambling ship.
She sees Payson frequently.
Woodford telephones her and
warns her to say nothing of
what happened on the yacht.
Smith Garland, night club
owner, offers Julia a job sing
ing in a new club he is about
to open. She takes the name
of “Nadine White,” is cheered
on the opening night.
Julia hears a girl saying
that Payson is backing the
night club.
NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY
CHAPTER XX. ‘
At Julia’s direct question, Smith |
Garland's pleased expression was |
replaced with one of poorly hid
den astonishment. Then he shrug
ged away his embarrassment. l
“What difference does it make
who put up the money for the‘
White Club? It's a success Now—
and youre a success with it.” ‘
“Tom Povson backed vou, didn'tl
he "
Garland nodded sheepishly. “But
1 don't see what dis—"
olt does make _a difference,”|
Julia told him quickly. “It sort of
—spolis it all.”
L “But why ”
~ She sat down weakly. “T sup
pose I was being a fool. But I—
I felt I'd been helping you put
something over.”
“But you have, Nadine. You've
done just that.’ l
Julia shook her head. “No . .."”
she answered. “All this was just
a whim of Tom’'s. It wasn't what
I thought, at all. I was fool enough
to think that you got the idea,
and saw me, and—and worked it
all out.”
“¥hak here. Jula . . ¥ He
strode across the room to her|
chair, kneeled down before her as|
though she were a child. “It was
my idea. And it came t 0 me when
I saw you all dressed in white
cut on Latta's gambling ship. Of
course, Tom steered me to you——sot
naturally I thought of him whenl
the question of finances came up.
I couldn’t swing it alone, but I‘l}"‘
pay Tom back in time. He knows!|
that.” |
Julia smiled slowly, and wheri
‘sl‘o spoke again it was with a‘
Lwin:lly irrelevant question. “Did
‘you know you called me Julia—
instead of Nadine?” l
. “Yes . o . And you've -always|
‘been Julia to me. Ever since the|
first day I saw you.”
~ Something in Smith Garland’s
eyes warned Julia, byt there was
‘no way now to stem the sudden
}flow of his words.
. “T love you, Julia. I—l tried to
blind myself to it during these
weeks of work. But all along it's
been there . . . underneath. I've
get to tell you now.” His hands!
outstretched, clutching her knees.

The door had opened suddenly,
~revealing Tom Payson. o
~ “Sorry,” he said, slowly closing
When the Pork Barrel Meets the Cracker Barrel
the door behind him. “Of course
I should have knocked.”
Garland rose to his feet, redden
ing furiously. “It's quite all right,
Tom. I was just trying to explain
to Julia.” ;
“So I see.” I
“She’s found out that you back
ed the club.”
iPayson’s jaw dropped and his
eyéds searched Julia’'s face. “Who
told you that?’ I
“I happened to overhear it,” che
told him quietly., “Some of your
friends at one of the tables out
there.”
Tom Payson grinned amiably.
I'd like to know how they found
it out- I was hoping to keep it a
secret.”
But his casualness failed to im
press Julia; and Garland, his face
still erimson, blurted out that he
had to get out on the floor *to see
how things are going.” When the
door closed behind him, Payson
turned to Julia.'’
“l gather that Garland was
mf._king love to you.” She did not
answer and he went on: “Are you
in love with him, Julia?”’ \
NO a 0 4
He was silent a mpoment, then
walked over and took her hands,
drew Julia to her feet, “Why so
sad, darling? Why—why, this
ought to be the happiest night in
your life!”
“it wz4s)' Judia said, {“until I
walked by that table.
“What do you care what people
say 2"’
She shook her head, withdrew
her hands from his. “It's not
that, Tom.- But I felt I was mak-‘
ng good on my own. Now I dis
cover that it was your money that
game me my chance—it was your
money that built me up as Nadine‘
‘V.White, provided even the retting.”
“It had to be somebody’s money.‘
"I‘hese things don’t just happen.
If Garland had been stronger fi
lnancia}ly he’'d have done the
whole thing himself, And any
' how," he added, “it was you and
‘Garland who did everything. The
money was the small part, after
all.” .
He walked to the door. “I'll wait
outside until you've changed. Then
I want you to join me. There are
some friends of mine who want to
| meet you.” &
Julia hesitated. “I'm afraid 1
can't, Tom. Amy Sanders is out
there with a friend of hers, and—"
{ “Then they can join us, too. I'll
| give you just five minutes.”
There was no argument against
Tom’s winning smile. As she
changed from her white gown into
a stunningly plain black she re
viewed in her mind what Garland
and Payson had - said. Perhaps,
after all, it made no difference
.that it was Payson’'s money whicn
‘had created an opportunity for
har. And yet . L.
“Doesn’'t .any success come", she
asked herself, “without compro
‘mises and obligations?” she thought
of the small, darkx girl sitting out
there beside Peter Kemp. What
was her ambition? Perhaps to
be the wife of Peter Kemp, to
keep his home, and bear his chil
dren. That would be her simple
success; and it would carry only
the obligation of being a good
wife. Nothing more than that.
Nervously Julia took up a ciga
ret, lighted it, and jnhaled deeply
—as if the smoke might somehow
purge her mind of disturbing
thoughts. Then, after a final glance
in the mirror, she left the dress
ing room and faced Tom PaysOn
with a brave smile.
“Three minutes!” she laughed.
When they reached the big main
room of the club Julia was recog
nized at once, and a wave of ap
planse spread quickly. “Hurry,”
!{;‘q whispered to Payson, “let's sit
down!” But just then the operator
of the spotlights, relentless and
alert, shot down a glare which
made hiding an impossibility. He
followed Payson ‘and Julia with
the bright beam until they reach
ed the table which was Payson's
destination,
As the light switched off, Julia
recognized with a start that it was
the same table from which she'a
heard the snatch of conversation.
She did not know which were the
two women who had unwittingly
informed her—but ghe noticed with
sinking heart that all the women
at the table were regarding her
with frank and open interest. Tom's
introductionsg were swift and easy,
but she was relieved when he had
finished. :
“Now,” he said, “I'll find Amy
and her friend if you'll excuse
me,” t
In Tom’s absence a smooth dark
girl slid into his chair. “I'm Ther
esa Davis,” she said. “We met
each other in that group introduc
tion Tom staged — but one can’t
count those, You were very good
tonight.”
“Thank you ...’ Julia gvas con
scious of the -girl's® faint accent,
a clipped speech learned by rote in
some fashionable school. Even the
tone, she thought, was studied.
“We all think it's grand that
Tom’s taken a fancy to you,” the
Davis girl went. on. *“Of course,
we're all very fond of him.”
“J—l should think you would
be.” :
Theresa Davis laughed. “He's
quite a trial, you know. I mean
to his friends. Omne never Kknows
what he's going to do next. He's
—" she made a quick gesture, her
‘scarlet nails flashing, “Well, Tom
is quixotic and idealistic. He's al
iways helping along some girl who
works in a shop or a — a cigar
counter or something.” She laugh
ed indulgently. “Wle're pleased he's
Ipromoted himself to a night club
singer.”
l “Do you really consider it a pro
|motion?" asked Julia.
“Indeed, yes.” The girl seemed
surprised, “We can at least accept
| night club singer.”
Julia shoved back' her chair
quickly and got to her feet. “Would
you excuse me, Misg Davis? I
i think I'll save you the trouble of
accepting me.”
With that she was gone, hurry
ing through the crowded room, her
eyes filming with angry tears.
Halfway to the lobby she met
Payson.
“I don’'t seem to be able to find
vour friend, Julia.”
“It’s quite all right, Tomi I'm
| going home.”
] “But, Julia! What's wrong?”
I “Nothing. I'm — I'm gjust going
{ home.”
l He held her arm. “I'm going
‘with you, then.”
| “No,” Julia said. “I'd rather you
wouldn’t . . . please.”
i Outside she entered a taxi and
wastsoon ‘before the towering apar
‘ment which the White club had
‘made possible for her and Amy.
As she entered the elevator she
‘was startled to see Cintra Lee,
L MWhY 4+ & Cintal”
The Lee girl smiled. “I got here
just ahead of you, Julia. I hap
pened to see the little drama at the
club. Don’t let it worry you.”
“You mean—"
“lI mean Tom Payson's friends.
I'll tell you something. Julia.
Women like that are usually dull
enough to make their men scream
to high Heaven. But when they see
a girl like you getting dangerous
they have one weapon. It's snob

IN NEW YORK
By Gev;lr: Ross
NEW YORK.—Opera vs. Jazz?
Ask Angelo Palange about his
preference and while he will wars
ble a kar from “Aida” with joy
in his voice, he will tell you tha:
ragtime pays better,
Signor Palange has just open
ed a new, big restaurant, the Pal«
ladium, off Broadway, where tha
musijc is derived from the hot
rooms of Tin Pan Alley. Such
notable as Eddie Cantfor, Gloria
Vanderbilt and Jimmy Donahue
weére there to wax enthusiastic
the evening his cabaret opened.
And yet, Signor Palange is
more familiar with the choruses
from “Pagliacci” than he is with
the refrain of “Wahoo” the music
that goes ’'round and around. As
a matter of fact, it was on these
same premises, back in the days
when the Palladium was a staid
opera house (fans two-by-two ta
bles and split-hottle ginger ale)
that Signor Palange pursued his
career as an assistant opera im
pressario.
He was in league with Fortune
Gallo then, helping to compete
with the Metropolitan by present
ing classic operas at popular
prices. These grew none too pro
fitable as the engagempnt wore
on. One evening, Signor Palange
conspired with the maestro to
‘sneak in a jazz tune, for the sake
of variety. Signal Gallo would
not permit the sacrilege and
stormed against it. And it was
then that the good Signor Pal
ange turned and made a prophecy,
a grim prediction that some day
this theater would ring with hot
cha and smoking tunes instead ol
an aria from “Carmen.”
His clairvoyance came true soon
afterward when Billy Rose chuck
ed out the rows of seats, the oper
atic scores and librettos and
brought in the Casino de Paree,
which, at the time, was the hot
test show in town, and which now

contains senna and cascara — both
