Today’s Bible Meditation
‘Thureday, February 27—Read Psalm 37:5-7.
. Commit thy way unto the Lord; trust also in
‘Him; and He shall bring it to pass. And He
_shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light,
‘and thy judgment as the noonday. Rest in the
‘Lord, and wait patiently for Him.
Yesterday we thought about giving ourselves to
God—to rest in Him. We get Rhysical rest by re
laxation. He who gives himself to his bed, letting
hig body in every part be a dead weight upon it,
puhsing himself through it, as it were, yet without
conscious effort, finds rest.
Tet us rest in God by giving ourselves wholly to
Him. *“ quietness and in confidence shall be our
strengih.” Scme people work too hard in trying to
fihd God. Be still—and wait. The Lord will be
with you. Try to spend a few quiet moments every
morning in Lent. '“‘Be still, and know that I am
God.” )
CATTONS COMMENT
BY BRUCE CATTON
ong of the handiest ways to kid yourself right |
now .would be to suppose that the constitutionality |
of thesvast TVA program has been settled just be- [
cause the U. S. Supreme Court at last has spoken,
“When you stop to review this decision and what‘
stifl are up in the air; and you also get a look at
went before it, you discover that a good many things
one of the most cumbersome and inefficient devices
of government which any great nation has ever put i
up with.
The TVA scheme Wwas put through back in 1923.
Under congressional authority, some almost incom
prehensibly far-reaching plans were drawn up. Great
dams were started; whole towns were taken off the
,T:"m‘i‘ivmw-wwns were laid out; hundreds of people
were moved from homes which thelr ancestors had
' pecupied for scores of years.
‘Altogether, the project was one of the most am
bitious, in sheer point of size, ever underaken by
‘any government, ’
Things had hardly begun to move before protests
were heard. Men who had devoted their lives to a
study, of the law asserted that the whole business
was ' unconstitutional, that the federal government
was spending millions on a job Wwhich it had no
jght to even touch.
Lawsuits began fluttering through the air like
alling leaves in Ocober, One after another, they
got inte the courts; and in the course of time, the
jud machinery ground one of them all the way
up to Washington.
'So at last, nearly three years after the great pro
ject was started, the gupereme court handed down
its decision. .
But did this action finally settle things? By no
means. The supreme court expressly refused to
pass judgment on the vaiidity ot the plan as a whole.
It took one relatively small part of it and said that
this one small part, if handled in such and such
- a way, was legal.
Concerning all the rest it did not commit itself.
l’xospmably some new lawsuit, struggling up to the
surface from the murky depths of some lower court,
will one day hit the supreme court bench—and then
we shall get a new ruling on some other small por
tion of the whole.
‘You could not easily think of a clumsier or more
efficient” way of doing business. Three years of
delay—then a ruling on only part of the whole pro
ject—and meanwhile millions are spent, great engi
neering works are completed, the map ig radically
altered, and no living man knows it it all is being
done according to Hoyle or not,
This is not to say that the supreme court should
not pass judgment on acts of Congress. It is simply
to peint out that everyhing would be much better if
the court could render advisory opiniong before legis
lation is finally passed.
Let the constitutionality of a measure be deter
mined before, not after, the milliong are spent.
_Out of the struggle for women's equality in the
]ast 50 years has come the conception that women
need higher education as much as do men. Contrast
that with the old-fashioned belief that a girl had no
use for higher learning, since she didn't have to
earn a living.
But. now, points out Dean Virginia Gildersleeve
educeational opportunity, but they generally have used
of Barnard College, women not only have achieved
it to ‘the everlasting benefit of the Amrican home.
Marriage and homemaking have become all the
m’ore'_signiricam in the light of better education for
women, and women in turn have developed inter
ests to raise the standardg of living.
It is encouraging to note this because it presages
; %,@;fier type of citizenship for tomorrow, There is
moreason why education for women should differ
m&hwuon for men,

Col. Joseph I. McMullen, for 15 years legal ad
viser to the assistant secretary of war, suffers a
severe penalty for having accepted $369.70 worth of
railroad transportation from a New York business
man. The army court which convicted him of “dis
of §slso a month pay for two vears, and ordered a
- mwnductj’ has demoted him, deprived him
- reprimand for him.
Al ;lanee. the sentence seems unduly severe.

York to San Francisco is to sin only mildly. An
afitger. who was “selling out” in a big way would
certainly have got something more substantial than

MYTHICAL TREASURES SOUGHT
From time immemorial the instinet
born in human beings to seek lost treasure
or valuables, such as money and jewelry,
has coused people to spend much time
and money with the hope of discovering
the hiding places of valuable trinkets.
Comparatively few have succeeded in
such efforts for the very good reason that
many such rumors are nothing more nor
less than mythical stories and legends, Itis
true that vessels sunken in years gone by
and those that have met with similar fate
in recent years had on board valuables
worth while searching for, but even with
modern appliances and new knowledge of
diving to the bottom of the seas, little suc
cess has attended the efforts of those .at
tempting to recover treasures known to
have been deposited on these lost ships.
In the days of the pirates when the seas
were lined with out-lawed boats, writers
of mythical stories of lost wealth and hid
den wealth on land is interesting and a
temptation to those who are prone to take
a chance, but as a matter of record, the
results from such expeditions have not
proved profitable to the promoters,
The sea pirates and the land ‘“grab
bers” may have accumulated great
wealth, but the people of that generation
were about as wise in knowing what to do
with their valuables as is the present gen
eration. We do not believe that anyone
or any organization seeking to find the
hidden wealth in this country or the
wealth that has been sunken to the bot
tom of the seas will ever be resurrected
in sufficient quantities to repay the pro
moters for thgir time and expense spent
on such enterprises.
BIRD AND ANIMAL LIFE
Oneof the most important and valuable’
assets to the people of this country is the
preservation of wild life, birds of all sne
cies as well as that of the fishes in*the
qatreams. Commissioner Cravey, State
Game Protector, has caused to be issued
much literature on the subject of the
preservation of game and fish. He has
not received the support from the legisla
ture his department deserves nor has hel
had whole hearted cooperation from
sportemen. The average citizen, whol
does not hunt and fish, feels little, if any
interest in the conservation of game and
fish. This department of the state is sup
ported from fees from hunting and fish
ing license. The revenue from these sour
ces are not sufficient to properly carry
on and develop the conservation of game
and fish. While hunters pay the expense
of this department from- the purchasel
money for licenses, it is a meagre sum and
not sufficient to warrant the head of that
department to do the work of conserving
and preserving wild life in this state.
An effort is now being made to secure
the enactment of dn appropriation meas
ure by congress so provide fundgs for the
furthering of this all important industry.
If the federal government recognizes the
importance of conserving game life, then
the states should come forward and make
appropriations sufficient to carry on the
much needed work. Georgia should not
lag in this movement, but the members of
‘the legislature should appropriate a sum
sufficient to provide for better protection
through employment of more game and
fish protectors. The establishment of fish
hatcheries can be made an industry that
will increase the income of thousands of
farmers in this state as well as the protec
tion given to farmers in keeping the un
licensed hunter off hig lands. With the
| cooperation of the federal government
‘with the state officials in making appro
priations, game and fish in Georgia will
| soon become one of the chief industries.
STANDARDS FOR COURT TRIALS
The American Bar Association has un
dertaken to regulate and formulate rules
governing trials in the various courts of
the country. It has become a common
practice with the judges to permit pro
ceedings in trials of important cases with
no more dignity than is practiced in a
backwoods justice of the peace court.
One of the most objectionable features
of such cases is the self-seeking publicity
lawyer. During the trial and before the
case has gone to the jury, these publicity
seeking lawyers give out interviews and
opinions relating to the case on trial be
fore the court. And another feature that
has grown beyond all decency is the tak
ing of pictures of the defendants. Of
course. the newspaper is after presenting
to its readers colorful stories of all such
cases, but playing up such stories often
results in influencing the minds of jurors
in rendering a verdict.
Newton D. Baker is chairman of the
committee. He is one of the nation’s most
outstanding lawyers and a man who dig
nifies the profession., His interest is caus
ing the courts to reorganize their proce
dure now being practiced throughout this
country will aid materially not only in
dignifying the courts, but it will elimi
nate the influence on the minds of jury
men and not infringe on the rights of
either side of the case. |
The use of the microphone and the
camera in the court room is out of place
and such practices should be prohibited
by all judges. If the judges will exereis2
their power and authority and not be gov-}
erned by political influences, the courts
will be elevated in the minds of the pub
lic and respected by all who come in con
tact with them. : 1

IN NEW YORK
By George Ross
NEW YORK-Top hats duck in
and out of limousines on Park
Avenue and Broadway in greater
numbers than at any other time
since the Great Storm in Wall
Street. This makes it surprising
to learn that there aren't many
top hat makers left in town.
At one time, there were 600
guild members in the Silk Hatters’
Association and there are now 20.
The reason: It appears that silk!
and opera hats are made by sklll-'
' ed hands that take long years to
train. The apprenticeship is’ tire-~
’aomc, tedious and therefore unin
viting to young men. And, of
i’course. the big hat manufacturing
companies have taken over what
used to be an individualistic trade.
The dean of silk hats makers
in New York is a Mister Fluegel
man, who has provided stovepipes
custom-made, to Presidents since
«Teddy Rvosevelt’ss inauguration.
He has just celebrated his 33th
year in this unusual trade and
any member in his shop who has
not reached his 60th birthday, is
considered a stripling not yet 'dqy
behind the ears. Among Mr. Flue
gelman's employes are Bill Jones,
77, John Taylor, 54, George Flow
ers, 70, Charlie Alsberge, 79, Sam
Wilmot, 72, Carlie Summer, 70,
Frank Staudinger, just past his
50th birthday and a mere babe in
the silk-hat trade.
' Mr. Fluegelman’s last impor
tant job was a silk topper for
Franklin D. Roosevelt. He's es-!
pecially proud of this item. It isl
the néw midnight blue shade and'
was fitted to the President’s head |
from a special block con-form |
made at the Roosevelt inaugura- |
tion. The President, incidentally,
takes a 7 3-8, the same size he!
wore when he entered office. !
(Just so that the Republicans wull
not make any .cracks).
Prison Breakup
Work has already begun on the |
demolition of Welfare Island, |
New YorK's notorious prison thatg
was recently condemned. Sopn.'
they will start tearing down that‘
section of the jail where the t'am-l
ous Boss Tweed had his suite,'
which the super-ward-heeler had
made for himself with all the con
veniences that money could buy.
Tweed had a special window set
in the three-foot concrete wall S 0 |
that he might gaze across the riv- l
er during his entire incarceration !
and view his former municipal |
domain. |
During the demolition of thei
island prison, a great many sou-l
venirs will probably come to llght./
Among them, two guns and S2OO |
in cash. dropped by convicts, that |
are still resting in the deep re
cesses of the ventilating flue. .
It is said—without - corrobora- i
tion—to .bé "true that . when the
prison’ was vacated last week, Mae
West, who was a star boarder |

“Fifty-first, please,” he said. The|

the number of his floor to the

The door zoomed shut and up|
they went. Halfway, the old gen-i

and’ stamped his cane. ‘“Where|
are you taking me, fellow?” he|
bellowed. “To the 51st floor, sh‘,}

A Three Days’ Cough
Is Your Danger Signal
A cough, chest cold or bronchial
irritation today may lead to serious
trouble tomorrow. You can relieve
them now with Creomulsion, an
emulsified Creosote that is pleasant
to take. Creomulsion is a medical
discovery that aids nature to soothe
and heal the infected membranes
and to relieve the irritation and
inflammation as the germ-laden
phlegm is loosened and expelled.
Medical authorities have for
many years recognized the wonder
ful effects of Beechwood Creosote
for treating coughs, chest colds and
bronchial irritations. A chemist
worked out a special process of
blending Creosote with other in
gredients so that now in Creomul
sion you get a real dose of Beech
wood Crecsote which is palatable
and can even be taken frequently
