Forty Per Cent True:
Sixty Per Cent False,
The ridiculous attempt to cover up for
the liquor industry by saying that alcohol
ism does not have an alcoholic origin but
is only a "symptom" of personality disor
ders, is 40 per cent true and 60 per cent
false.
It would be even more accurate to say
that it is 40 per cent true and 100 per
cent false. The 40 per cent of truth is
found in the fact that about that propor
tion of alcoholism does arise out of neu
roticism. The 100 per cent falsity is in
volved in the ignoring of the fact that 60
per cent of alcoholism arises only out of
the use of alcohol and not out of any und
erlying abnormality.
Alcoholism is less in those states and
counties where drinking is least.
Alcoholism is least where dry sentiment
is strongest.
Public policies which repress the traf
fic in intoxicants, and educational policies
which tend to discourage drinking, offer
the only helpful means of checking the in
crease in alcoholism.
Alcoholism is now increasing. It is in
creasing because the sanction of law sup
ports the alcohol custom; because motion
pictures, the radio (beer advertising),
many periodicals and much of the fiction
output of the country, by suggestion and
propagandists teaching, tend to increase
the number of drinkers and the amount of
liquor consumed.
Alcoholics are being rehabilitated in
significant numbers but they are being re
habilitated.
The Spotlight
On Drunk Driving
The death of Margaret Mitchell, author
of Gone With the Wind, in an accident for<
which drunken driving was responsible,
has turned the spotlight on this national
problem.
Thousands of others, less prominent
than Miss Mitchell, must die each year be
cause of drunken men at the wheel.
The first reaction of many editors has
been, "Throw the book at drunken driv
ers." 9
If they are talking about the book of
the law, perhaps this would do some good.
The trouble is that the average drunken
driver does not know he is drunk. What
is still more important, is that the aver
age drunken driver who has had a drink
or two but is not drunk in the ordinary
sense of the word, has no idea that he is
a dangerous driver. Perhaps it would be
better to throw the book of science at all
drivers. Teach them that a little beer, or
a cocktail or two before driving, is dan
gerous, then throw the book of the law
at the places along our highways which
sell intoxicants.

ALPHABETICAL EXHORTATIONS
A life that's hid in Christ our Lord
Brings to the soul a? rich reward.
Cast not the truth of God away
Despite what others do and say.
Each day you live seek God's good grace
For strength to keep you in your place.
Give of your best in time and means,
However wrong another leans.
Incline your heart to all that's right
Just as the saints who walk in light.
Keep true if you would prove your worth
Long after you have left the earth.
Make souls the gems you seek to gain,
Nor stop for persecution's pain.
Oppose the wrong by word and deed,
Proud of the fact that you'll succeed.
Quick as the Lord reveals each plan
Bise up and meet it as a man.
Seek wealth and riches for your soul
That perish not as ages roll.
Urge men to Jesus Christ to flee,
Vile though in life they seem to be.
Weave holiness into your name,
Exhorting others to the same.
Yearn for the things that are above,
Zealous for the God of love.
Domestic consumption ot cot
ton declined more than seasonal

Exports through May this season
were nearly two and one-third
times as large as in the same
period last year.

The Story Of Rayon
Row Material for rayon is callulosa. It comes primarily from
two sources?wood pulp and cotton lintars. Linters ore
the short fibers left on the seed after ginning.
Cellulose it the principle port of the
cotton I inter or wood fiber.
Sheets of Cellulose are steeped in a solution
of caustic soda to extract impurities and to
change them chemically to alkali cellulose.
D
Cellulose Crumbs are made by putting the
sheets through revolving blades which break
them into small, fluffy particles.
Viscose Solution, the next chemi
cal stage in producing rayon, is
made by dissolving the crumbs
to a liquid, in appearance much
like clear, golden molasses.
Chemical Spinning is the last magic step in making rayon yarn, fhe tiny
spinnerette is thimble sized, with hundreds of holes scarcely visible to the
human eye. Each hole forms a filament. Combined filaments form yarn,
which is wound on bobbins, cones, or into skeins as required by the manu
focturers of rayon fabrics.
r
And Now To Tha User! After assisting in many steps in the making of
rayon yarn, Electricity assists in weaving, dyeing, and the fashioning of
garments. Again, Electricity is waiting in your home?to wash, dry, and*
Iron the fabric modern chemistry has given a place alongside linen, wool,
silk, and cotton.
