SOUTH’S MOST FAMOUS SON A recent editorial writer said that no other section of the Uni ted States or any other country of the world could have produ ced Robert E. Lee. He attribut ed this, of course, to the cultured South during the time of Lee, to his wonderful, faithful, and loyal mother, and his perfect morals, noble impulses, sincere life, anc profound culture. When Kagawa was in th“ South he saifll that Southern. Christians were the most hospitable p-;«i]:^e that he had contacted in all his travels. The South is known throughout the world for its dis tinctive hcppitality. Yet the South is, in m('St of its rural areas, backward and in, Sn worse condition than that of th? peasant's of Edrbpe. All counl:;e's touch the peak of civilization, ahd crop to the nadir.’ AFTER Reading , . Recently rr-ad many of the chapters of Alexatider Wwlcot’s^ recent bi)ok» “While Rome' Burns.” Along with it luread: agciin ^:''r. J. W.

RETOLD STORIES - ■ Abi ut the time Napoleoli was raicliia? his 2 enith trie Diike of Wellington ccmrhented thalt the man was too small in statue to become a great general. When Napoleon heard.this he Commen ted mildly and sert^nely, “Most men measure themselves in sta-^ tare b; D.iiir wnolebody, but I measure myself from the sho..ld- ers up.” The docti rs had surjndered all hope, (luring the war, for a man who was in a critical condition; and one of them told the parson to speak with tha soliia'* in his final moments. So the preacher weiiito thd supposedly dying man and said, “Is there anythirg that you want to say before you go?’' “Look in my inside coat pock et,” replied the soldier. There the parson found a ten- dollar bill; he then asked the sol dier what he desired to have done with it. “Keep it,” replied the soldier, ‘I’m betting you it that I don’t die.” And, to relieve your suspense, he did not. A great lesson in hope. A soldier wanting a promotion went to Napoleon one day and told the gre«t ^ eneralthat he had been through ten campaigns and wished to be made a general. Napoleon replied that many of his mult s had b en through ten campaigns but none of them could plat) a battle. PULP MAGAZINES Tha most successful racket (pecuniarily speaking) in journal- i.=?m is tiie-pujp story ..magazines that are profusely sold, ,at cheap news stands for ten cents- ■ Thete magazines;' \vhicli are advertised “ten hum-dinger s.tor- ies ten cents,” are publisiied in quantities fn.m half a million to more ' th^n a million/and often there is need for more to supply derriand. ' r > This -lemand comes from boys who hiive n ^t grown cut" pf the ‘*c6w-pancher” stage or 'who dream of b-ing a top-ni)tcher G- Man. Too, there are obscene sex magazines at every cheap news stand. Not having read any of these st;iries,‘ I could not justly crit.ic-i;;e the contents of the books; but 1 dp |knpwthat l do npt wish to ^aste the'timVit would require to read one of the, stories. C.jntras.ted w'tli this picture are the magazines of our library of which I could revie w any one. Many of them are for the average reading public of America; many are technical; and many are the quality magazines fur the well- educated. nament. Do not forgec that whatever you do will be known, and “credit will go whtr^ credit is due.” The easiest way to climb the social ladder is to have your grandfathtr begin at the bottom of it.
