Yea, it is a picture of th« capU^e of decep tion, imaginiag what was not true. The faet is> it was all NEED. The lesson imfyerative—^man catin^ stand (m faia own. He is a dependent. It it not only that he must under adverse eircumptancee acknowledge his ^pendfince. but it is that till the time, his whole life tiirough, he is a dependent. The most resoureeful man of any generation gr^W from helpletts and frail babyhood. 6urely there was ne^ tjien. And, tell me, when did the need cease f It is just this faet that starts men to bee»ne Christianigi. But so long as it is not apparent to a 0oul that the need ia so great that he cannoot get along with out Christ, just m soul fall for the delusion that he can suoeeed without Christ. It is the wuaB of need that stands at the door«f real pra.y- er. Self satisfied people dream that th^ can suece^ on their own. §0 long as thaC false idea prevaiki in a church or a family or an individual, so long the mar VeU) of ani|wered prayer from God catonot be known. “Ask and it shall be given you” must need, what richest there are for given. Man may imagine to pres«rf to Qod a thoiKand plans aJid deeds, and suppose that aU that should meet a response of ap proval, but seally he is present ing an offense until he awakens to say„ ' !;;i "I need Thee, 0 I need Thee; Every hour Z need Thee.” There is 'no substitute for this attitude. What Ood asks us to bring ia NEGD. When we acknowledge oxir need, what richesthere are for us, for the Word says: “My God shall supply every NEED of yourS' aooording to riches in glory in Christ Jeeus.” !A REST ROOM CRUSADER It must tove been a funny meeting tte Board of JTmatees held at the Ijniversity of North Cajvlin^ last week. Funny or not funny, it has furnish^ about the biggest laugh Megroes haw had in this state in many moons. There are some actions of our so-called men of importance that are disgust ing, otheis are ridiculous. Beyond the realm of ridiculous the •Ktions be«>me funny. ^ According to reports in the daily press thSe tneeting^ was a stormy one with Brer Bfark of Snow JHU voicing his disapproval of Negrora using the ^est rooms||^^||y»iJiver8^i 8t> far as eating, sleepng and daiwiog wflliMMR ^olks, Ne- Sroes have kHig' ain^ discovered- ttlat they can QGvt them two to one at aU three. But when it cotnes to answering the call of aatiire fa a rest room they wtere of the opinion that the two laeea are abwit on a i^r with each oth^. If Brer Lassiter has (^seovend a Biore comfortable technique than the placing the elbows on the kneei and resting the chin in the jAlms of the Itands; then he ia entitled to iteep the secret for his own r&c^ and for it aloiie. One w^ of disposing of the matter is to appoint a North Carolina Best Room Commission whose duty it would be to a watehful on all rest rooms, privies included, to see to it that the ^Sh^gro does not learn the modem way of using them. Cbtae one ba* sugg^tad tbat Brer I^ussiter is a successful corn #umer do^ft in his county, and hopes to of a bounte ous eom>eci> crop by placing them in Negro rest rooms through- fmt the stale,, while placing tussue paper in white rest rooms. Brer liasnter after sputtering furiously on the subject was finally able to comer the controller of the university and exact fnMQ him a promise that he would ixe it that the races would Qot noswer the call of nature in the same rest room again. Just far i^art they must be, w as not designated. WAR-TIME PRICE TENDENCIES It might be b^use the old fashion privy is g»)re in abun- duee in Brier Lassiter's county than modem rest rooms,, that ' lie is of the ojunion that Negroes are not accustomed to the latter uid should be.bsn^d from them.

This heightened awareness of the price situation is a result of several recent developments with an important bearing on pof^ible future price trends, The Survey continues. Prices of a nunflier of important commodities have shown a more pronounced upward tendency than at any other time since the first few weeks of the war. The price advane© ra« been laccompani^ by wid«?sf)read ialjor ' disturbances, sweeping iner««^ in wage rates, renewed demands for increased aid to agricullure, and the appearance of shortages in marine ^ippi^. Jfhe Problem oi ^biUsation These develc®meutfi have drawn attention to the general problem of price stabilization and have resulted in official measures to joret^ent exce*sive advances in prices of several specific* commo dities. Whether the techniques already developed will be sufB- cieot to maintain the desired price stability or whether broad er and more drastic methods will be required is a question that seems to be receiving increasing ly serious study. The question is one of vital importanee, not only because of the possible effects of prices disturbances on industrial efficiency but also'becaue* of the unfortunate social consequences of such disturbancee and the tre mendous losses resplti^ from the subsequent readjustment. In mo^ discussions of the gen eral price outlook, the superman dant supply of many farm pro ducts, the huge industrial capaci ties and the laj^e volunje of un- (i^mployment rave been em|^asized as reassuring factors- Thetp oonditons still exist; but t^Mey have mt prevented the appearance of a noinber of mark^ prices advances ^ recent weeks, nor have they foree)tall|>d develop ments in the fields of af^iculture labor and shipping that contain possibMitiea of further price dis turbance. If s^h develroments continue, the problem ^ price stabilization may be expwted to receive more carious attention than has been pven it thus far. The Ooverameot has };road pow ers of emergency price control, both dire^ and indirect. But eiperience is proving once more, as it has so oft^ ptOved in the past ttfat the prompt, wisp and effective tane of such powers is Price movements in the princi pal countries thus far during the war period have been such as to emphasize the importance of de mand and supply situations in in dividual commodities ratl^ than broad monetary influences, as de- terhiinants of price trends. In Great Britain, the amount of credit expansion during the first year of the war apparently was rather shall. Suhc a moderate de gree of credit expansion could hardly account for the advance of 43- per cent in the general le^el of wholesale conunedity , pricees that aetuslly topk |>lace dariiig the period—and Mvance that has subsequently increased to B4 per cent. Divergent Frlce Hovmoents In the United States, the in fluence of moi^ary factors a- lone might have been erpected to affect pirices fully as much as in Great Britain. Yet the general level of whoiFesale commodity pric^ in this country rose only S per cent during^ the first year of the war; and even with tre ac celerated upward mov^ent in 1-ecent weeks, the total advance to date amounts to only 10 per cent.
