MONDAY, MAY 28, 1934 The New Justice The appointment of Judge Michael Schenck as justice of the North Carolina Supreme court to succeed the late Justice Adams assures the people of North Caro lina that the high standard of this digni fied body will be maintained. Judge Schenck on his visits to Wilkes, has demonstrated that knowledge of th4 law and exemplary character which pre eminently fit him for the learned body to which he has been named. While other individuals may have been preferred by some, all agree that Gover nor Ehringhaus made no mistake in select ing the Superior court jurist. Sex Determination men. Interesting, though it niay be consider^ ed quite unimportant by a majority of people, is the report of the research being made in the field of sex-determination. The following news story is taken from the Greensboro Daily News of May 20: London, May 19.—Two brothers, both young London doctors, are wrking on a theory of sex- dfCtermination which apparently proves that at last it is possible to produce a male or female child at choice- Since they began their work r.iore than a year ago they have not had one failure, and every prospective mother under their treatment has given birth to a child of the sex of her choice. The doctors apply the theory that sex is de termined by a certain physical condition in the woman before the unborn child begins to grow. It was first put forwardi in Germany, where it was accidentally discovered that a certain alkaline state in the mothers always produced boys. Research along these lines has been carried out in Germany, but the two London doctors are making a more intensive study of the theory, "and they have hitherto been successful with all their patients; All but one asked for boys- The one who re quested a daughter got her. An interesting point is that it is easier to pro duce boys than girls by this method of sex-de termination. Possibly, thUre are some people who do not know that despite the frequently quot ed and misquoted Biblical statement that before the end of time there shall be seven women to one man, that really there are four million more men in the United States today than women. Perhaps, the new discoveries along the lines of sex-de termination may save some women from spinsterhood, although in this day of di vorce, it seems that two or three men and two or three women are not uncommon for at least some individuals. Law Clamping Down It is a sad commentary upon the Amer ican system of law enforcement that men like John Dillinger, Clyde Barrow and Lindbergh kidnapers can evade justice so long. Clyde Barrow and his sweetheart- crime companion, Bonnie Parker, are dead, victims of a ruthless execution at the hands of the law. but Dillinger and the Lindbergh murderers, whoever they are, remain at large to prey upon society. It seems almost incredible that crime can flourish to the extent that one man can*kill ten or twelve persons before the law can put an end to his career. Yet Barrow is credited with no less than a dozen murders, many of them policemen. While the system of law enforcement is and should be criticised, the agencies of protection are not altogether responsible for the present advanc^ position of crime. Much of the blame, if not the major part, lies with the laws which have hamestrung officers and public sentiment which has created the breed known as “sob sisters” and made heroes of crimi nals. Law enforcement agencies are making great forward steps in its war against crime. Spurred on by a somewhat awk ward public sentiment, Congress and state legislatares are giving powers which en able them to deal with .criminals. Success euch aa tite law has recently had against A1 Capone, the Gettle kidnapers, Clyde Barrow and others is to be commended and while a few criminals still run rampant, there is evid«ice that law enforcement f are clamping down. kn’8**piBly Washa^gtohTKerry-Go-Btound’ we clip the following: Washington, May 20.—Tl»^ino8t pitifal spec- table in the nation’s capital these ctays: Is tlie slow dry-rot of the NRA. Gradoally the organi sation which once was heralded in the. headlines as typifying the new deal has been falling into decay. And the tragedy, from Roosevelt’s point of view, is this very thing—^that the NRA ao typifies the new deal. Com|>lete bine eagle dis integration will have serious political , con^ quences. Yet those responsible^ for the bine eagle stand by. apparently powerless to prevent'IJie old bird from collapsing. No one, gives'it the hypodermic—probably because it already has had too-many. In the end. the NRA will chalk up as one of the lessons of patting faith in a military man in peace time. The general who re vealed in the excitement of organizing the NBA, who once was looked upon almost as a second messiah, was a g^reat hero in the hnrly-burly of war, but not in the slow grind of peace. With the guns of the critics trained against the bird, it seems probable that at least nmny of the feathers will be nipped from the Blue Eagle. Dan^w and his review board plucked with no mean ability in their report hand ed down several days ago and published Monday. And judging from press com ment, while generally favorable to NRA, the feeling exists that part of the code restrictions are doomed. Whatever one’s views on the matter .of continuing NRA, there are few who can honestly deny that it has served well in starting business on the road to recovery. Whether *we go back all the way to the point of cut-throat competition depends to a large extent upon the future admin istration of the national recovery act. If it is administered wisely, the sound prin ciples of fair competition will be sav^. If it is administered in a bull-headed manner and an effort is made to continue policing every individual’s business, the reaction will be so strong as to wipe out all the permanent good that has been accom plished. A Commendable Step The Wilkes county unit of the Ameri can Legion Auxiliary is entitled to the highest commendation in its successful efforts to secure a traveling library for North Wilkesboro. It is a step in the right direction and gives rise to the hope that adequate li brary facilities may some day be provided for the city. North Wilkesboro has managed some how to get along without a public library, but nevertheless the need has existed. It is a pity that more work has not been done along that line for many years. The library, which the Auxiliary has arranged for, is, of course, temper? o- That makes it all the more important that •some organization add this worthy enter prise—that of getting a public library sterted—to its list of projects. The Book the first line of which reads, "The Holy Bible,” and which contains four great treasures. By BRUCE BARTON A GREAT IDEA IS BORN It vras assumed that when a woman married she took the gods of her husband; if he died and she must go back to her own people, she aban doned her husband’s gods and took theirs again.. But when the ten tribes of Israel split away from the tribes of Judah and Benjamin, Jeho vah did not go to either one or the other, but re mained with both. His worship was often neg lected, but in their hearts the people knew that He was still their God and always at the time of tribulation they threw down their idols and re turned to Him. The idea of One God—-unseen and not to be worshipped in visible form—had been bom in the world, and h^d taken firm hold upon human minds. This is the outstanding achievement of the Hebrews, the thing which gives the Old Testament eternal truth and inspiration. In its total effect the Old Testament is a record of God’s progressive revelation of Him self to men. This is the second element in its greatness. Steadily from Genesis to Micah the conception of His nature and quality grows clearer, bigger, finer. We have referred already to Amos, who was not a priest and had nothing but scorn for the formulae and ritual of the established religion. He saw the temple courtyards red with blood and men seeking through sacrifices to buy the right to be iniquitous, and he cried out: “God cares nothing for sacrifice; He is a G*d of Jus tice.” I hate, I despise your feast days, and I will not smell in your solemn assemblies. Though ye offer me burnt offerings and your meat offerings, I will not accept them: neither will I regard the peace offerings of your fat beasts. But l^t judgment run down as waters, and righteousness as a mighty stream. As a conception of the Almighty this repre sented a vast step upward- In those same days another preacher, Hosea, was adding another item to the expanding ftmd of troth- Hosea was a married man, and his wife was a flirt So much so that Hosea was compelled finally to pot her away. His friends said “good riddance,” bnt Hosea was tom by lonesomeness, sorrow and regret This woman who had wronged him—he still loved her. Pocketing his pride he went to her with forgiveness and took her back to his home. And ont of that domestic tiiagedy there came to Hosea a great new troth. “If I, being only a man, can love' so much and forgive so much, surely God most be capable of even more.” be said. Amos had told the worl^ that God is just; Hosea add^d. "and kind.” Do .you know; boys and-girls 7 «f Who hail from the nortit.and the Bev. Awl south:— Do you know what It means, twining of gre«Bs Round the silent cannon’s mouth, This strewing with flogera grass grown gfavee.

Bible Class Game Is Hit-and-Run Affair Local Methodists Defeat Gordon Baptists 16 to 14 In Game Here Thursday The baseball game between local Methodists and Gordon Baptists in the Thursday Afternoon Sunday School league game turned out to be a hit-and-run affair. Space does not permit mention of the names of all who hit home runs and extra base hits. The con test was prolonged until it appear ed that the team that could hold out to run the largest number of times around the bases would be the winner. Enough runs were scored in one inning by the Gordon team to win any ordinary ball game, but the Methodists came back with anoth er epidemic of extra base hits to gain the lead in the last inning, the score being 16 to 14.
