WHAT NEW MOVE MEANS
This is a war that moves from
one point of the compass to the
other like a black untethered
wind, says an editorial in the
New York Times. All the bel
ligerent and non-belligerent Pow
ers, have tried to limit it, a-nd
their efforts have been refeated
their efforts have been defeated
gle.
Hitler sought desperately to
contain it within set bounds, but
every dam he erected burst in
process of construction and ad
ded to the force of the flood that
drove him on and on. The British
tried to hold it to the seas; the
Atlantic and the Mediterranean
are their chosen battlefields. Rus
sia strove to build walls against
it in the east and west. By pacts
with Berlin and Moscow Japan
attempted to fend off attacks in
two directions while she advanc
ed in another. Before and since
the fighting started the United
States has acted time and again
to localize the conflict. But the
storm sweeps on with a certain
inevitably. No power has yet
proved strong enough to wage
this battle on its own terms ei
ther of time or place. The first
World War had fixed boundaries;
this war jumps frontiers and
oceans, not only becaiuse it is in
the sky or with mechanized for
ces, but because it is more uni
versal. It literally shakes the
central pillars and the farthest
outpost of the whole world.!
Hitler was impelled to strike
■inability to end the
confliCT on any of the existing
fronts, and this turn opens up
unexpected vistas, with implica
tions We are just beginning to
^rasp. There might not have
been a conference between Mr
Roosevelt and Mr. Churchill at
this time if the Russian" cam
paign had not cleared the way to
ward new battlefields. Suddenly
it became clear that Great Brit
ain could extend her field of ac
tion and that American support
of the fight against Hitler was
not limited to shipping supplies
across the Atlantic. The war
prospect, and With it the scope
and direction of our aid, changed
with the shift of the German
armies and the time-saving re
sistance of the Russians.
All this is emphasized ]^y'the
announcement that war planes
are to be ferried from this coun
try to West Africa and thence to
the Near East. Two objStives
are envisaged in this new move.
, *The African landing fields for
the American bombers are in
British ports close to Dakar and
other points in French West Af
rica. This is one means of stif
fening the French to resist Ger
man demands for air bases at Da
kar and also of being near at
hand in case this strategic point
is occupied by the Nazis. It also
puts recognizaable features on
the vague face of danger by re
minding us that if American
planes can be ferried from South
America, enemy planes can fly as
easily from African bases to
South America should the Nazis
Succeed in converting some
boubtful state on the neighbor-
continent into an ally.
Ve^ut the plan is above all a sign
he) the British and American
V 'l^^srnments are preparing for
decisive developments in the
Near East. The Nazi advance to
the Black Sea is preliiriinary to a
drive on the Caucasus. The Ger
mans are still a long way from
the oil fields and the back door* to
the East. There is time to block
them in Iran and on the Turkish
"border, but to do this requires
boldness, speed and a formida-
ble.shov^ of force. The new ferry
route is the supply line for the
most important of the new bat
tlefields.
NERO FIDDLES WHILE ROME
BURNS
STARTS ON PAGE ONE
Jaers ra,en. But it does not seem
to affect the Senator. A man
who can speak flippantly of so
profound a subject has no sense
of responsibility.
The Senator refers to India
and to Russia, repeating the Ger
man argument. Even Ghandi,
the Indian leader for freedom,
abstains from his campaign dur
ing the war, not wishing to crip
ple England while she struggles
for life. It is nothing to the
Senator that the Russians, un
willingly but valiantly resisting
Hitler, will' probably cripple him
so much that he can go no fur
ther in the murder of the inno
cents.
All these windbag senators do
not hesitate to misrepresent
what the President is trying to
do and his methods for doing it.
They say he usurps authority.
Unwilling to use their own con
stitutional powers, they whine
about the President’s using those
given him by th-p constitution.
They say he had no right to meet
Churchill or to pledge the coun
try to anything. They say he is
secretly seeking to get us into
the war. They say anything
without apparent regard for its
truthfulness.
In meeting Mr. Churchill the
President pledged the C(Aintry
to nothing to which it had not
already pledged itself. One of
these senators, Mr. Walsh of
Massachusetts, said: “The worst
of the matter is that the Ameri
can people have been afforded no
opportunity to pass judgment;
Congress and the constitutional
concepts of' represenative Gov-
,emifnent has been brushed aside,
and the President alone, and on I
his own initiative, has undertak-'
en to pledge our Government, our j
nation and the lives of 130,000,-j
000 persons and their descend
ants for generations to come.” j
Of course there is not a word^
of truth in this. But the Rey-i
noldses and the Wheelers and
the Lindberghs, will tell it over
and oyer. Of the Walsh state-]
ment^ the New York Times says:!
“So far as the published rec-'
ord is concerned—and it is on
the basis of the published record
t^iat Senator Walsh makes his
criticism — President Roosevelt
has made these commitments in
the name of the American peo
ple: (1) commitment to the pre
mise that the United States can
not isolate itself from the conse
quences of a world: revolution;
(2) commitment to pour Ameri
can weapons into the hands of |
the British people, for the de
fense of our- own institutions,'
until this war is won; (3) com
mitment to use American in
fluence to help construct a post
war world in which we shall be
safe against the dangers which
now threaten us.
“These commitments have the
endorsement of a great majority
of the American people. The
‘polls’ and the ‘surveys’ say so.
More important, the vote of the
American electorate says so. Mr.
Roosevelt made his last cam
paign on a platform which open
ly pledged to the British people
‘all the material aid at our com
mand,’ consistent with the needs
of our own Army and our Navy.
He had reeatedly identified Ger^
many as our No. 1 Enemy; re
peatedly declared that the day
of isolation is dead and gone ;
repeatedly called for ‘full spe^d
aheiad’ until the Nazi tyranny is
destroyed. He had signed, in an
election year, a bill which con
scripted the young men of the
United States for military ser
vice. He had taken the unprece
dented step, eight weeks before
the American people voted in
November, of transferring fifty
American destroyers to the Brit
ish Navy. And he was re-elected
to office by the American people
on the basis of this record.”
If congress had the power to
make a foreign policy, the Tpower
which the constitution gives to
the president, we' would never
have a fcrcign policy. Congress,
broken up by provincialism arid
bloc pressure, can produce rio
leadership. The framers of the
constitution knew th^ would
happen because their experience
had already proved it, and so
they put the foreign policy of
the country in the hands of the
president, subject only to the
power of congress to approve or
disapprove treaties, declare war
and vote or refuse to vote sup
plies in case of' war. The makers,
of the constitution knew exactly
what to expect of congress and
it has always run true to their
prediction. Mr. Roosevelt has de
veloped his foreign policy, just
as Jefferson and Monroe were
compelied to develop theirs, with
out the advice or sympathy of
congress. If congress had follow
ed the foreign policy of Wilson
We might not now have this war.
Apostle spoons, the ones bearing the
figure of an apostle with his emblem,
were first made in England during the
latter part of the Fifteenth centurjr.
NONEARERWAR
SAYS PRESIDENT
Complete Accord With Mr,
Churchill and Next Move
Is to Help Russia Resist
^ Presidei^t Roosevelt landed back in
Washington Sunday from his moment
ous ocean trip in which he and his mili
tary advisers met with Prime Minis
ter Churchill, and some of his mili
tary men, and talked over the world
situation and issued a proclamation
telling the world what to expect when
Hitler is defeated.
In reply to questions he said that
affairs in every continent were dis
cussed but that we ate no nearer ac
tive war then before. More material
aid, especially to Russia, is the pro
gram, and close cooperation with re>
spect to Japanese aggression. The
conference was held on board the
British battleship Prince of Wales and
the American cruised Augusta, but
never has been revealed where the
meeting took place.
Within half an hour after his ar
rival in Washington / the President
met with Secretary Hull at the White
House for a discussion of the seeth
ing international situation. It was
understood that he wanted to talk to
Secretary of State particularly about
the strengthening of French ties with
Germany and the crisis in the Far
East.
As a result of the conferences at
sea with the British Prime Minister
and high British military and naval
officials, Mr. Roosevelt was more
abreast of developments in the war in
Europe than of events in the Far East
and in France.
Together, beneath the protecting
guns of British. and American men
of war, President and Prime Minister
had drafted a joint declaration which
spoke of the “final destruction ' of
Nazi tyranny” and outlined their pro
gram for a post-wiar world. '
•'They proposed, to Soviet Lieader
Joseph Stalin, and he agreed that a
conference should be held in Mos
cow to discuss the means of gettnig a
maximum of supplies to Russia for
her defense against Nazi attack.
Presumably, the discussion with
Secretary Hull included the qiiestion
of when this conference should be held
and who should be the American rep
resentatives. There was no word, how
ever, as to any decisions.
It was presumed, too, that the
discussion included other specific anti-
Axis steps which may , have been
agreed to at the Atlantic conferences.
That farreachitig measures were in the
making was taken for granted. But
a ;press conference which Mr. Roose
velt'held Saiurday wheri he" b&me
back to American soil at‘ Rockland,
Me., produced not even a vague de
lineation of the specific steps which
now are to be undertaken by the three
powers. It appeared that they might
remain secrets indefinitely.'-*

Begins Ginning
Beginning August: “I purchased Mr.
Reid’s interest hi the steam engine and
Mr. Donaldson and myself built a gin
house and fixed up to gin cotton. I
moved my gin and screw down to the
mill. We purchased a mill from Mr.
Vail, 60 sa^Vs for $120.00. We had
many difficulties to fcontend with as it
was ^something new. Everybody was
afraid of getting ,'|heir cotton burned
up..
“We ginned 210 bales that season.
The saw mill business paid Mr. Don
aldson and myself well.”
Nov. 17: “As executor I sold all of
the personal property of my father-
in-law’s estate. S'old well; good mules
brougjit $150.00, saddle mare, |100,
and wheat |1.50 a bushel.”
. De(?ember: “I was pressed with bus

farrh', sawing and ginning, and three
I estates: on my hands,' namely, John
. Wolfe’s, Capain T. A. Walkup’s, and
j Mr. Robinson’s.
I “I made about 20 bales of cotton
and 400 bu’shels of corn.
I “My labor for 1876: Adam Withers,
Jock Ardrey, and Peter Kee, croppers;

Political Activities
“In the county convention I was
j noniinated for' the statfe legislature
I with Capt. R. A. Shotwi^l for my col
league, and Dr. T. J. Moore for Sena
tor. V
“Governor Vance was nominated by
the Democrats of the state for gov
ernor—he had been the War Govern
or.
“Great political excitement during
the year—torch light processions and
speakings. Negroes leaving the Rad
ical party by the hundreds and voting
with the whitg people. Hays and Til-
den running for President. General
Wade H. Hampton running for gov
ernor of South Carolina.
“Our state and county Democratic
tickets elected by large majorities.
“We had to be in Raleigh November
21 for a session of the General As
sembly.”
The Union county member of the
House that year was C. A,Ustin, Demo
crat, that of Anson, B.‘ I. Dunlap,
Democrat, and Rowan, John S. Hen
derson and J. S. McCubbins, Demo
crats; Cabarrus, E. E. Harris, Demo
crat.
Half a dozen Negroes were in that
Legislature. They came from Caswell,
Franklin, New Hanover, Pasquotank,
Pender and Warren.
The State House of Representatives
was composed of 83 Democrats and 3*7
Republicans, a majority of the latter
coming from Eastern counties.
Notes jotted down in 1877 read: “As
a member of the Legislaure I spent
January and February and until
March 12 in Raleigh. We had a pleas
ant, and I trust, a profitable session.
Our State is in much better condition
than before. We now have a Demo
cratic Governor, other State officers,
and a legislature for the first time
since the late war. I made many good
friends among the members and my
attachment for many of them grew
very strong. I boarded at the National
hotel. It is a great sacrifice and self-
denial to be absent from my dear wife
and little children. No price; no as
sociations will compensate for them.
“How rejoiced I was to get home to
loved ones and the hotme so dear to
me!”

Main Street
Then I thought of the Southern
country I had just been traveling
through, and the palmetto and pine,
and phrases like “cabin in the cot
ton” and “Gullah nigger” and “high
yaller” and the little pickaninny who
looked and smiled up at me when I
gave her a nickel and the big new
aluminum plants at Mobile, and the
darkies singing in Atlanta, and the
iron lattice-work on some of the
Charleston houses.
And then I thought 'of the mist
streaming across the Pacific harbor,
and of Telegraph Hill, and the bay
and big ferries, and of Fremont and
Monteirrey, and the quiet bells of the
Spanish monfeteries. ^
And then I thought some
reason I found myself oddly moved
by it, of Saturday night, orf Main St.,
and the cars parked diagonally in the
court house square, and all the trees
cut down to make an ugly White Way,
and of the A & P store next to Wool-
worth’s, and Safeway’s next to Sears-
Roebuck’s, and the Western Union of
fice and the Chevrolet* dealer’s, and
the First National across the street,
and the block bounded at the corner
by Hank Waterman’s Liggett’s drug
store, swarming with noise and boys
and girls and double-thick phocolate-
cream malted milk and toasted cheese
sandwiches, and across the way the
public bandstand and the public an-^
nouncement system, and the cast iron
fountain and a few of the trees that
the people had left becaus^ they had
a vague sense that they were orna
mental, and in any'case were con
venient to hang electric light bulbs
on; on Saturday nights.
Kind of Game
And this same town, a block away,
has just finished the new wing to'its
brick high-school, surrounded by elms,
the finest building in town; and proud
of it!—say,: stranger, that’s the best
school in the nation, and if the bas
ketball team doesn’t rank up at the
top of the Tri-State league this year
then I miss my guess, that’s all!
Well, you can finish it out for your
self. It’s a kind of game. You Can go
on indefinitely. How many*Americans
do you know ? And each one, to some
body, means America; it is the coun
try that; he would defend, it is the
social class he regards as typical, it
is the region that is his own. And
they are all worth preserving, of
course. It is pretty certain that no
niatter how big the circle is that any
American draws of his country, it
will leave out part of the circle of
somebody else.
And yet there is one thing, it seems
to me, that is common' to them all,
that Americans for the most part can
go their own way and live their own
lives, and move from circle to circle
and place to place, and marry the
boss’s daughter and feel that what
ever is their religion, or ancestry, or
economic circumstance, they are en
titled to a vote, and an opinion as
much as the next man.
These are some of the thoughts that
came to me as I wandered out and
found the moon shining on the Missis
sippi at New Orleans. They are pretty
general and nebulous thoughts. I am
not sure that they have any place in
this series. And yet at a time of
crisis it is interesting to reflect every
now and then, I think, when we say
“America,” how many America^ there
are and how diffextent, and yet how
strong this central adhesive of com
mon goals and aspirations mu^t be
that can kew them' all stuck together
instead of flying apart, like the na
tions of Europe.

How friendly and famliiar Balti
more looked on those first glimpses
from the car window!
The row houses, block after block
of them, with the famous white steps,
were right there, just as described in
Augusta Tucker’s book, “Miss Susie
Slagle’s.” I had expected to find them
depressing, but on the contrary, they
seemed rather cozy. For the rest of
my life, the word “Baltimore” will
invoke a moving panorama of red
brick row houses gliding through my,
mind, with the slow motion of a train
easing to a stop. And there will be
a woman on her knees scrubbing the
white marble steps.
At the time these houses were built,
marble was very plentiful around
town, so they used it for the steps
to the houses. The steps that are not
marble are painted white to resemble
marble. And the house keepers scrub
the steps every single day.
My 'first afternoon in the city in
cluded a sightseeing tour of the
wharves and tjie fish market, where
every kind of sea food imaginable
was for sale. There were baskets of
live crabs to be had at $3.00 a dozen.
They’re very scarce this year.
We saw a Chinese junk with drag
ons carved on the prow and operated
by sails that had just come in from
the Orient. How in the world so small
a- craft could have crossed the Pacific,
I don’t see.
On one of the Bay'boats, brides
maids in evening dress carrying arm
bouquets, and ushers in white tie and
tails were gayly going aboard. We did
not see the bride and groom. But
evidently the wedding attendants
were seeing them oif on their honey
moon.
Then we went to Federal Hill where
in 1861 a Secessionist demonstration
Was crushed. Later, in the Civil War
it was taken by the Yankees. On it
once stood a signal tower to signal
Baltimore merchants the news of ap
proaching cargoes of silk from
China, coffee from Brazil, and staples
and finery from the four corners of
commerce. The view of Baltimore and
the Bay was marvelous, and the old
brick houses so charmingly quaint,
thel Igrass and trees so refreshing, I
decided I would like to come here
some day all by myself and spend
the day. But after looking into the
faces of the bums on the benches,
as we walked around the grounds, I
decided it would be better to leave
before dark, if I did.
On our way home we bought a
watermelon from a huckster’s cart
drawn by a pony. This was to be
come a very familiar sight. The loads
looked too large for such small ani
mals. But they trotted quite briskly
along; at an increditably fast pace. We
paid 40c fot the melon—the same
price charged for the same melon in
Carthage. You would think we could
get them cheaper here.
The next morning, I was aw^akened
by the clatter of horses’ hooves going
down the alley just beyond my Bed-
roorii windows, and a hearty, reson
ant voice calling in a kind of chant,
“Boiying up rags, old newspapers,
bottles,” etc., etc. They came around
every few days.
The* Most Beautiful Spot
The most atmospheric spot in Bal
timore is the Washington Monument
at Mount Vernon Place. It was de
signed by the same architect who de
signed the Washington Monument in
Washington, and was erected before
that monument was.
But the most beautiful spot to me
was Johns Hopkins University. The
buildings all take their tone from
Homewood, the home of Charles Car
roll, and is considered the most per
fect Specimen of early republican
dwelling in the United States. The
brick were imported from England,
The. new Alumnae House at W. C.
U. N. C., Greensboro, is a copy of
Homewood. The founder, however;
specified that the University should
place the emphasis on the quality of
the teaching rather than on buildings,
In consequence, Hopkins professors
are noted for their ability. Woodrow
Wilson once taught there, also the
poet, Sidney Lanier.
By the way, we had dinner one eve
ning with Sidney Lanier’s grandson,
Robin Lanier, and his wife. Aftet
dinner they took us to hear Grover
Cleveland’s son speak on “What Shall
Our Peace Terms Be After the War.”
It is quite fashionable in Baltimore
now to buy up the old brick carriage
houses of the Victorian era and spend
eight to ten thousand on them mak
ing them into apartments. We went
to a party afibne of them, given by
the artist, McGrath, whose etchings
and wood cuts have quite a vogue
during the Christmas season. It was
one of the most attractive places I
saw in Baltimore.
We also attended a party given by
the famous Polish portrait painter,
Rimsky, who was celebrating the first
public showing of a portrait he had
done of Dr. Lancaster, head of the
department of romance languages at
Hopkins. I met a lot of Hopkins pro
fessors here.
Among the famous places I visited
were the Lexington Market where you
find anything under the sun, and
Johns Hopkins Hospital, in the lobby
of which stands the marble statue of
Christ bearing this Inscription on the
base, “Come upon me all ye that laboi'
and are heavy laden, and I will give
you rest.” Sargent’s picture, The Four
Physicians, hanging in the Medical
Center library, is also of interest.
It is said that Sargent disliked one
of the physicians, Dr. Halsted, very
much and painted his face with cheap
er oils than he used on the others, so
that in after years his features would
be obliterated. At any rate, his face
did fade so badly that only recently
they had to engage an artist to re
touch it.
Fort McHenry, during the bombard
ment of which Francis Scott Key
wrote The Star Spangled Banner, and
Edgar Allan Poe’s grave were also
points of interest.
I found the people of Baltimore
friendly and hospitable. Indeed, it
seemed just like Carthage—only there
was a little more of it.
(August 24—Hebrew 9:11-22)
In the study before us we consider
the better benefits of the new coven
ant. Bible scholars hav'e never been
satisfied as to who wrote this epistle.
Some think it was Paul while others
think it was some other inspired man
of God. But whoever it was, it cer
tainly has a touch of divine inspira
tion and has been looked upon by all
orthodox Christians as one of the
best documents in all the holy scrip
tures.
The argument here set forth is an
effort to show that the privileges
which are now mine and yours in
Jesus Christ are in every way super
ior to the privileges given to the peo
ple who lived under the Mosaic coven
ant. Ours is a better revelation, a bet
ter Canaan, a better possession, a
better priesthood, a better scarifice, a
better tabernacle, and, the sum total
is a better covenant.
In this lesson we have a perfect
description of the tabernacle which
Moses erected in the wilderness and
in which Aaron the priest served af
ter being sanctified. Read the account.
Its construction was according to
careful instructions given to Moses
by God on the Mt. of the Law. God
said to Moses: See that thou make
all things according to the pattern
showed thee in the Mount. God’s word
of caution throughout the old Bible
is: See, or see thou. In this sense,
the suggestion is that Moses was per
mitted a short glimpse of the true
taberracle in heaven. And Moses is
now commanded to make a copy of it
to set before the people of Israel.
But after Moses had done the best
he could the tabernacle he had built
must remain k perishable construc
tion through all time and eternity.
This now gets us out into deep wa
ters with little space in which to
wade out. But let me say that every
sane man and woman is building
some kind of a tabernacle here in
this world. That tabernacle i§ a type
of picture of the one we are building
beyond this vale of space and unseen
ness. Reader the two tabernacles
must and will correspond. I warn you,
be careful al^out your material and
how you build. Keep in mind that
Jesus, our high priest, is standing In
mine and your behalf in the true
tabernacle which our Lord pitched
and not man. The tabernacle built by
Moses passed away. But that built
by Christ will stand the jar and fric
tion of clashing worlds and will still
be impregnable to earth and hell and
then be standing throughout the
cycles of all eternity. The tabernacle
in the wilderness was a large tent
divided into two rooms. The outer
room was known as the holy place.
The inner room was called the holy of
holies. The two rooms were separat
ed by a curtain. This separation has
its type. These curtains had to be
made according to instructions and
of the best material to be had. Wish
I had space to explain the types.
Maybe your teacher can.
Into this outer room the priests or
preachers went daily, holding service.
I pause to ask a question; if all our
priestspor preachers, in Monroe,
Bi'usWick, Md., or any other city of
the world, enter . their tabernacles,
churches, once daily for prayer and
Avorship, what would happen? Every
cln istian who reads these lines knowa
perfectly well what would happen.
We will get back to the tabernacle.
Into the holy of liolies went the high
priest alone once a year. It was his
office to carry the blood of atone-
riient. There in the presence of God
he made atonement for his own sins
and the sins of hte people by sprink
ling the blood on the mercy seat.
Here again blood comes into the pro
gram of salvation. You remember
some weeks ago I told you that it
took blood to satisfy God’s demands
in the plan of redemption. This start
ed just outside the garden of Eden
and ended up at Mt. Calvary.
Since I can’t finish, I will mention
a few points for teacher discussion.
The New Covenant, which is Christ,
is better than the Old Covenant which
was based on the Law of Moses. 1st,-
it has a better sacrifice; 2nd, it is
based upon fuller and stronger prom
ises; 3rd, its basis is faith and love
and not fear; 4th, it gives a personal
revelation of Christ to every person;
5th, it provides a remedy for the com
plete removal of all sin; 6th, it rests
upon the blood of Jesus Christ rath
er than the blood of birds and ani
mals; 7th, it holds good for all time
to come and will never need revision.
SAW F D R AND WINSTON
One Charlotte boy saw the famous
meeting of President Roosevelt and
Winston Churchill on board the Prince
of Wales, somewhere in the Atlantic,
and is back in Charlotte to tell about
it.
The local boy was Woody Wilson,
now a member of the crew of the
U. S. S. Tuscaloosa, one of the ships
that conveyed the presidential vessel
to the unannounced rendezvous with
the British prime minister who was
aboard the H. M. S. Battleship Prince
of Wales.
On leave in Charlotte, Woody said
the journey to the meeting place was
shrouded in absolute secrecy.
“Not even the officers had the
dope on that cruise,” was his reac
tion. “The captain went around in
his own private fog.”
When the announcement came that
70 men would be allowed to board
the British battlewagon for church,
Woody was absorbed in swabbing
down the decks. Without hesitation,
however, he headed for his petty of
ficer to obtain permission to be one
of the lucky 70. Permission was
granted.
LIQUOR POURING
The Mecklenburg county police on
Monday poured into the sewer 153
gallons of white liquor, and turned
over to county fiscal authorities for
sale to legal liquor stores 168 1-2
pints of Federal tax paid whiskey.
The liquor was confiscated by the
county officers from bootleggers and
the white lightning has no resale
value so it has to be destroyed.
The county government, however,
some months ago decided to collect
the Federal tax paid liquor which
already is bottled and labeled With
brand names of well known distiller
ies. This whiskey can be sold to the
Ijquor stores in those counties which
have local option dispensaries.

A cute little lamp like that above
was never meant for studying. It
puts such an extra strain on work
ing eyes that it’s no wonder Bobby
can’t concentrate on studies.
Give him a Certified I.E.S. lamp witli at least a 100-watt
bulb. You’ll save his eyes from strain and you’ll make his
studies easier. Chances are that his grades will pick up, too.
And while you’re protecting his eyes try better light your*?
self. You’ll soon want it all over the house. '
