;gfl “APPETIZING” CHRISTIANS
5 “Let'your light so shine.” Read Matthew 5:13-16.
E,;,-So%ime ago 1 heard a challenging statement,
“Our geligion ought to be real and satisfying to us,
and etizing to others.” That word “appetizing”
is a hos genius. It strikes at the very center of
Christian living.
- If there were more ‘‘appetizing” Christians, there
‘would'De more converts, Men are seldom argued or
Teaso into discipleship; they are ‘won by the
‘example of Christians. The way in which the friends
of Jesds carry on, in erises and in every-day living
— the{f serenity, strength and sweetness—whets the
ngepe of beholders for the same qualities in
themselves.
Fevgif us can preach or write or organize; but
%ren , least of us, however lowly and seques
tered our lot, can make religion appetizing to
~ May_.all whose lives touch ours, our Father, see
in us something of Thee and Thy Son.
catton’s comment
A x{% word ough tto be invented. Somebody
ought'to think up a good realistic word that would
mean peace, but not the state of affairs that has
; )ing by that label for so many generations
now. . Rather, a word to describe a condition that
has nuinely peaceful quality as part of its fun
dams 1 nature, and a suggestion of some perma
nencys
. Theére might be a use for a word like that some
time. You never can tell.

| BICYLE FATALITIES INCREASE
{ The number of bicycle-automobile acci
'dents has shown a remarkable increase in
[the last few years. In fact, parents per
[mitting their children to ride bicycles to
Ischool or elsewhere should caution them
Ito be careful and keep out of the line of
Itraffic. In fact deaths from bicycle-auto
{mobile collision in the years of 1936-37
| were double that of 1935. The same pro
'portion of accidents, of a less serious char
!acter, is shown in the reportg of statistici
'ans,
i An article prepared by an outstanding
‘statistician shiould be of interest to par-
I‘ents sufficient to induce them to keep
‘their children from riding bicycles on the
streets especially wWhere traffic is the least
congested. The following should be a
warning for all parents:
“Motorists will not be surprised at these
findings,” say the statisticians, “The un
predictable actiong of boy cyelists have
given them many anxious moments.
' Youthful cylists will swerve suddenly and
lwidely, often in the direction of an ap
proaching car. They cut across traffic
lanes, pedalling furiously, and depending
on their speed and skill for safety. They
‘dart into a road from between parked
cars, quite often with another lad sitting
|on the handlebars. Many of them will
race along in front of an automocbile for
blocks before yielding the right of way.
“At night, because of the absence of
lights or reflectors on their wheels, they
loom up suddenly in the path of a car. In
the heyday of the bicycle in the gay nine
ties laws reauiring the carrying of lights
after dark were strictly enforced, while
today, with road hazards vastly increased
‘by the automobile, few cyclists take the
trouble to carry a light at night. It is very
flortunate that in some states and locali
ties the authorities have taken steps to
remedy this situation. Motorists, them
selves, also must contribute their share in
reducing the toll.”
Figures estimated for this country show
that the number 'of deaths for 1936-37
was 700 and for 1935, 350. It is true that
paved highways and streets contributed
much to the increase of the number of bi
cycle riders in the United States, but par
ents should also remember that their boys
are their charges and unless they exercise
control over their desire for riding bicy
cles, the number of casualties and fatali
ties is bound to increase,
THE DAY OF THE STATISTICIAN
Regardless of subject matter, the statis
tician can furnish exact figures showing
information desired by anyone, provided
the price for the information is forthcom
ing or hag come. Recently some one was
curious to know just how much money
changed hands annually on the American
game of poker. The questioner received
an immediate answer, stating that there
were over a billion dollars,
It is strange to us just how this noted
statistician arrived at these figures. Our
impression has always been that the poker
player losing in a game is the last one to
tell it, and we believe that such practice
is general throughout the United States.
Even in the gambling parlors of the licen
sed shops, there is no permanent or public
record kept of the results of games, play
ed publicly or in rooms.
Such reports credited to statisticians re
flect a discredit on the system of compil
ing accurate information. Such reports
are bound to be unreliable and without
any degree of correctness,
CARRYING ON THE GOOD WORK
While Dr, Charles H. Herty has demon
strated to the satisfaction of all that his
discoveries of manufacturing newsprint
from slash pine has proved a success, he
is now researching and working on lines
of development for the use of pine pulp
for other purposes,
~ The Columbia, (S. C.) State in comy
‘menting on the success with which Dr.
‘Herty has met, has the following to say:
“Hats off to Charles Herty again! He
has, in the face of financail and scientific
discouragement, kept right on with his ex
periments. He has seen the blackgums
standing tall and thick in every Southern
swamp. Lccognizing here a source of in
come to the South, provided the wood
could be reduced to proper form for the
all-devouring maw of press machines, he
worked on formulas for turning the gum
to paper pulp. He has succeeded again,
just as he did with long and careful ex
periments with pine wood, and presents
to the country, especially to those who
might be interested in pushing this de
velopment, and able to do it, proof of the
practicability of his theories.”
This noted scientist and - chemist has
done a great deal for the present genera
tion to say nothing of its value to be hand
ed down to posterity. It is to be hoped
that he will be as successful with his other
experiments for the further utilization ot
pine pulp as he has been in the manufac
ture of paper.

DID IT EVER
OCCUR TO vV
Atlanta is truly a city of
surprises. There is scarcely a
day that passes without some
unusual crime, racket or what
not occurring in that metropo
lis.
The “bug” racket held the boards
of surprises for many months.
Then came an unusually large
number of holdups, robberies and
other crimes too numerous to
mention, but all of which go to
make up life in a great city. Now
that city is stirred from center to
circumference over reports of an
investigation by the grand jury of
Fulton county of alleged graft
proceedings on the part of city
and county officers in conducting
a “shakedown” racket for the re
lease of prisoners from the stock
ade and county farm for a sum
as low as three dollars per head.
The alleged racket was
termed by members of the
grand jury as an “astounding
picture” of graft among both
city and county officers.
If the indictments are true,
there should be no half-way
ground policy adopted by the
courts as was the case when the
famous “bug” racket was first de
veloped and exposed. Some of the
ring leaders in the lottery busi
ness were given nominal fines,
which they falled to pay, buil
when public sentiment became
aroused, these violators of the law
were re-arrested and brought be
fore the courts and heavy fines

Some years ago a number of
Atlanta officials were brought
before the bar of justice on
the charge of graft and cor
ruptio_n in the various depart
ments of the municipality.
The investigation lasted for
weeks and finally resulted in the
conviction of several of the alder
men and city employes. At that
time, the developmnts startled
some of the most sedate citizens
of that community. Some of the
men who were found guilty and
convicted on the charge of graft
were well known and prominent
throughout the state. Some of
their oerations ran up into figures
of thousands of dollars annually
over a period of several years.
Some of the officials grew well to
do off of the profits they received
from city purshases, but we were
told that in a majority of the
caseg, the graft money they re
ceived did not remain with them
long.
That is wusually the case.
Where money is made or re- '
ceived from a questionable
source, the recipient seldom
profits from its use in invest
ments or otherwise.
‘We knew one of the men involv
ed in this noted graft development,
He was a high up official in the
municipal family and a finer gen
tleman never lived. That was in
his early manhood days, but when
he grew in popularity and influ
ence in the molitical arena, the
temptation for gain was evidently
too strong for him to resist. When
the investigation came, he wasg
placed on the spot as being the

(children are prepared to make it.

{the fact that we are supporting

i Dr. Coutu pointed out that a
|large proportion of the families on
relief are illiterate anq that the
children of these families will al
most inevitably grow up to be re
lief dependents like their parents.
Further stressing the need for
more care and education of chil
dren, Dr. Coutu said that half of

‘chief leader in the great operation
{of municipal graft and the web
|of evidence wove around him
|'was too strong to break or to
'lhrow off and the jury declared
{him to be guilty. He paid the toll
of his misdoings by accepting the
sentence, but loug before his term
had expired, he was called to an
other home where we hope his
soul is resting at ease and his
faults on earth wiped out and
forgiven.
