NOT ALL BAD NEWS
Ky not means all the news that
comes out of Germany even in the
democracy. For proof, we cite the
following dispatch frotn Frankfort
on the Main:
"The Bible continues to be Germany's
best seller. According to tisores
issued by the Prussian Bible
Society, 951 ,OOQ..copies yrerp .sold in
1939. and in the last' six years -the
sale of Bibles has exceeded that of
' J Chancellor Hitler's 'Mein Kampf by
200,000. A particular demand for Bibles
has evidenced itself since the
outbreak of war."
The spirit of democracy cannot
9>e entirely dead among n people
who buy that many Bibles. For the
Book of Books is not only the best
guide for the li,ves of men, it is also
the most effective' foTCe for resi de
mocracy the world has ever seen.
So long as the people of Germany i
buy Bibles at this rate, there will
be ground for hope tbat ulttmatelv ;
they will rid their country of h?'h
Nazism and Bolshevism. ?Wiuston

A boy of twelve, with an air of

note from his mother before taking
his seat:

wtklely oucuiaiea among employes
of Oeubral Motors Corporation,
reprinted below:

Today- my little girl is seven years
old. She started to school as usual.
She wore a blue arese with a white
collar. She had on 'black shoes and
worn blue gloves. Her cocker spaniel,
whose name is "Scott," sat on
the front porch and whined his belief
in the folly of education as sn*
-waved "Good-bye" and started off.'
fllonlght we talked about school.
She told me about the girl who sits
la front of her ? the girl with yellow
curls ? and the boy across the
aisle who makes funny faces. She
told me about her teacher, who has
eyes in the back of her head, ' and
about the trees In the school yard,
and about the big girl who does hot
-Itolieve In Santa Claus. We talked
about a lot of things that were aw
tally Important to na: and we studied
spelling, reading and arlthme^
tie. Then ahe went to bed.
She la back in the ibedroom now,
sound asleep, with "Princess ETMxebeth"
(that's her doll) cuddled In
her-right arm. Yon fellows wouldn't
hurt her, would you? You see, 1 am
her ddddy. When her doll Is broken
or her finger Is cut or her heed gets

starts to school, when she walks across
the street then she is In your
bands. Che Is s nice youngster. She
can run tike a deer and darts about
Hke a chipmunk. She likes to go on
picnics and swim and hike with me
on Sunday afternoons. But I cannot
be -with her * all the time; I hare to
work to pay for her clothes sod her

I sat by Or. L P. Baker at the
Llona Club luppar the other night,
end we etarted talking about the
baeebell team Kings Mountain uaed
to have back In "the good old days.'
Doc played short and from what. I
hear he wae an excellent player.
Doc and Arthur Cornwall were also
star players, and Arthur Crouae
and Lesile McGinn is were two of
the main supporters. Kings Mountain
wae one of the first teams In
the south to play-a night game by
lights.

I met Tom Bradford, the other
day. He is the Certalnneed Repreaen

end a. native of Kings Mountan. He
uaed to live in Qoldsboro, my old
home town. And his home waa right
aoroea from the newspaper where I
worked. It's a small world after all.

ANOTHER UNPROFITABLE
STRIKE
This (all ehe automobile workers
in-the Chrysler plant were induced,
by CJO leaders, to enter upon a
strike.
After a prolonged period of idleness
they went back to work with
nothing gained except the 3 cents
per hour Increase which had been
offered them before they went out.
Bach employee must now work
1,060 days, or- three years and four
months, before the wage increase
which they did receive, and which
was available anyhow, will make
np the lose in wages during the
strike
Baonctnlsts estimate that tlfe
strike cost the worker*, the company
and merchants 163,000,000.
The only persons who did hot
lose were the CIO organisers who
drew full psy and expenses during
the entire period of the strike.
This story is very similar to that
of the Pacific 4dllls " at Columbia
where it 1s estimated that a strike
cost the employees $240,000 with
nothing gained.?Textile Bulletin.

"He got out here," said Mackenzie's
aide, pointing to the window.
"Well, he won't get far," said
Mackenzie, relieved.
Raffles began to stir, and soon
was fully awake. But his ruse
failed to work. Barradlough made
his entrance at this point with the
Amsterdam tickets. Amsterdam was
the Jewel market of the continent,
and Mackenzie was very well aware
of that fact. Soon Bunny and
Lord Melrose bustled In In response
to a previous call from
Msclcensift.
Raffles realised that all his sub-'
terfuge and guile had failed, and
he was forced to admit his guilt.
Bunny was astounded.
"A. J.!" he cried, echoing Owen's
earlier questions, "Why? Why?"
Raffles looked at him quizzically.
"I couldn't stop thq Itching In
my fingers."
Bunny, as usual a Mt slow, began
to bridge the gap.
"A. J.!" he shouted. "How could
you have been such a fool? Supposing
X did need the money?
r Supposing I did go to Jail? I asks

3. Oswald Blimp- picks up Ills
newspaper, reads a: headline that
says; "DEFICIT IN BUDGET THIS
YEAR CUT 8HARPLY BY PRE6IDHt^I?',
and remarks comfortably
to his wife, "Well, It looks as though
this reckless spending 1b beginning
to stop, Debt Isn't going to be
as big as It was last year/' Then
he nibbles hlB buttered, toast with
real enjoyment for the first time in
a long, long spell. r
But the poor deluded man is confusing
two very different items ?
the yearly deficit add the national
debt. The deficit 1s the amount the
government spends each year over
and above what it Is able to take
In. The debt, on the other hand, is
simply the accumulation of these
deficits, which are added to the
debt each year.
This will be the eleventh year in
a row that there's been a deficit.
And. as an inevitable consequence,
it's the eleventh year in a row htat
the breath-taking curve of the national
debt has continued to mount,
mount, mount.
In other words, we've depended
for eleven years now on something
called "future prosperity" to make
up for the fact that our government
is spending far more, than it has
been able to collect. The significant
point, though. Is that the "future"
Is already catching up with
us. The figure In the budget which
tells how rapidly this process is going
on is the amount set aside for
interest payments on. the debt.
If you as an individual borrow
money for a number of years and
finally reach the stage where you
are paying most of the money you
take in right back to your creditors
in the form of Interest, then you
know that you've reached a danger
point. The same situation holds true
iu the case of the Federal government.
The government this coming year,
according to the Budget, will have
to pay out a new high total of fl,100.000,000
for this interest item.
On the basis of estimated tax collections,
this is going to mean th'at

WASHINGTON SIDELIGHTS:
Dr. Lelserson, the latest addition to
the National Labor Relations Board
who was added because proponents
of the Act figured that his appointment
would forestall criticism
of Board bias, has dissented from
his colleagues In a number of Important
cases. His memorandums tot
the other Board members, produced
as evidence by the House Committee
investigating the Wagner Board,
have also showed that he often differed
with them. On this situation,
a former trial examiner for the
Board made the following analysis
In a recent public address:
"Dr. Leiserson la either Inviting
the courts to reverse his associates
on the Board, or Inviting Congress
to clarify Its intent with respect to
certain ambiguities of the Act by
amendments. His dissenting opinions
are tacit admissions that the
Act is defective and that his associates
on the Board cannot be trotted
to administer fairly and impartially
its provisions."
