JTBUS 119 'THE HOME OP
ZACCHAEUS
Luke 19:1-10
Rev. Samuel D. Price, D. D.
Here I* a human interest story
that took place in real life. Jesus
had completed His Perean journey.
The Jordan river had been forded
and how Interest centers in the
city of Jericho. Then '"-it was
a decidedly popular resort; now it
is largely a place of ruins with a
few dwellers in another site called
modem Jericho. Blind men were
healed as the Teacher both enter
ed and departed from Jericho. A
miracle would draw a crowd and
the people thronged about the Nax
arene as He sought to pass through
the city.
Zacchaeus was a man of short
stature and thiX handicapped him
as he wanted to see the Visitor,,
about whom all were so concerned.
He used his wits and ran ahead of
the advancing throng that he might
get a vantage point after' having
climbed the low branches of the
tree.
As Jesus passed by, the upward
glance revealed the little fellow who
had arranged to see Him in spite
of every obstacle. The Omniscient
One knew all and made the rest
very easy for the despised citizen.
By a self invitation the Lord be
came a guest in this home. Hatred
of this Jew did not prevent the
people from crowding into the
home, and some came only to criti
cise. Jesus also met their challenge i
by His gracious treatment of the
oppressor. Meanwhile Zacchaeus
had given his heart to the Saviour,
and followed this up by a public
pledge to restore all ill gotten gain.
There is an activity .of penitence:
which shows that something has
really come into a man's heart and
completely changed his life. 'Rie
Golden Text tells the continuing
purpose to Je?us: "The Son of Man
came to seek and to save that
vthich was lost." Luke 19:10.

Infant Mortality
Raleigh. April 27.? With the be
ginning of the month of May the
deaths reported throughout the I
state of babies under one year of
age begin to increase. The months
of May. June, and July always re
cord a comparatively large num
ber of such deaths In comparison
to nearly all of the months of the
years.
. In 1930. 5998 deaths of Infants
during their first year occurred In
the State. These figures are based
on provisional reports. Additions
may be made which will run the
number a little higher* This com
pares with 6113 deaths the preced
ing year, showing, with the slights
ly larger population and the 114
fewer deaths recorded, that the
Tate for 1930 will look a little bet
ter. Nearly all the other states
also made some progress, and there
fore the relative standing of North
Carolina as having a high Infant
death rate remains about the
same.
Every agency? public, private, of
ficial. or professional ? should be
utilised at the beginning of the
month of May to endeavor to re
duce tKe number of such needless
deaths (hto jwar.

RUSSIA
Nobody but a Russian cab under
stand the Russians. Henee, no
body in this country really under
stands what the Soviet government
Is trying to do and how it hopes to
accomplish it. William C. White,
who learned Russian and lived four
years among the Russian people in
cities and villages, comes nearest
to it in his book, "These Russians."
Two or three things Seem clear
after reading this book. One is
that the Russian people, much
more akin- to the' Chinese than to
any Europeans, place a trifling val
ue on human life. Another is that
the rulers who are promoting the
"Five-Year-Plan" are trying to
make Russia as much like the
United States as they can, so far
as material progress goes. And an
other unescapable conclusion is
that, unless something happens, all
of the people of Russia will become
slaves under military discipline.
Well, Army life isn't so bad ? for
the officers.

EMPLOYMENT
Edward A. Filene. famous Boston
merchant who has long been active
in many programs of social wel
fare, says that the problem of un
employment, because of seasonal
or general business depressions, can
be solved by State legislation, re
quiring all industries to set aside
a given percentage of their pay
rolls for a fund to carry their em
ployees over In dull times.
The state would not go int6 the
job insurance business under Mr.
Fllene's plan, but doubtless Insur
ance companies would, and every
employer of labor would have to
carry It. One result, its' author
thinks, would be no more business
depressions, because the buying
power of the mass would never be
diminished by reason of unem
ployment.

MAYORS
Anton Joseph Cermak, the new
Mayor bf Chicago, was elected not
because he Is a Demcorat but be
came the people of Chicago were
disgusted with .the rule of the poli
tical gang which calls itself Re
publican. and its Mayor, the blatant
William Hale Thompson.
James Joseph Walker, the suave
and personally popular Mayor of
New York, Is under Are because of
revelations of grave corruption in
the city's police department and
minor courts. Back of Walker Is
a political gang which calls Itself
Democratic. Mr. Walker has not
many Hall and leading. the move
ment to clean up the city.
Foolish partisans support incom
petent local officials because Of the
Pfcrty names attached to the politi
cal gangs which control them. Al
most the only cities In which there
Is anything like honest and effi
cient administration of the people's
government are those In which the
administrative machinery has been
turned over to a non-partisan com
mission and a City Manager. New
York, and Chicago will come to
that In time.

WAR
Twenty years ago 'presumably In
telligent Americans were assuring
each other that there would never
be another great war.
Intelligent Europeans never shar
ed American optimism about war's
impossibility. They smile af the
thought that the "last" war was a
"war to end war." "Hiey set up the
league of Nations, which will act
as a deterrent of war until some
powerful nation decides tp ignore
it. And they laugh in their sleeves
when anybody suggests that the era
of permanent peace has arrived.
Stance is criticized for maintain
ing an army twlap as large as any
other in the world. France is build
ing a great wall of fortifications
along the German border. Why not?
French territory has* been invaded
J>y enemies from the North many
times' in 130 years. If anything
like that had happened to us, we
would have a thousand forts and a
million soldiers along the Canadian
border.

Travel Songs
Whether they realize it or not,
the organ music afid the playing of
a radio In the big Pennsylvania
station that the jostling crowds hear
are part of an experiment to speed
the moving of passenger traffic.
The railroad has installed a full
size organ of 35 stops and a com
bination radio and phonograph to
find out if music will clear the
building quickly by getting people
to move faster.
? ? ?
It Hath Charms
Right now, everyone Is a bit
puzzled as to the effectiveness of
the project.
While it is true that music places
travelers in a pleasanter frame of
mind, It doesn't work so well when
it comes to clearing the station.
Last fall, Princeton alumni joined
in the singing of their school song
?then coming over the radio? so
enthusiastically that the radio had
to be shut off to get the rooters
on the train.
What type of music shall be
played on the organ Is a problem.
On religious holidays, church mu
sic alone Is suitable; at the death
of notables, funeral marches should
be performed. Now the question
Is, does Slow, mournful music pep
up the passengers' actions, XK the
reverse? Then again, the music
can't be too peppy, for they don't
want the negro "red caps" to go
Into a Dixie Jig when they play
those down South tunes.
Mechan*cal Market
The latest step to speed us into
a put-a-coin-in-the-slot existence is
the automatic grocery store right In
your own apartment building.
A New York apartment has In
stalled this device ? called the Dela
mat ? which responds to the click
of a coin by disgorging a can of
beans, a lamb chop, a bottle of
milk or anything that can be bought
at a regular grocery. The Delamat
consists of a series of .chambers
with glass doors in which are dis
played packages of food which rest

Help Wanted
There's one person, a hardware
dealer, who doesnt believe all these
stories about unemployment any
more. Twentjr-flve young men an
swered his "Help Wanted" adver
tisement, but when they heard that
the job was selling electric ' light !
bulbs, 24 of them firmly declined. 1
The one who did take It came
rushing back In an hour with a
fistful of orders that' earned him
$7.80 commission. Needing more
salesmen, the dealer took the sue- I
cessful one to the city employment i
agency to tell the men what a lu
crative Job It' was. Two out of 100
Interviewed took the Job. The oth
ers said they were "waiting for a
salary Job" or one that pal4 $50 a
week.
The dealer went home, wonder
ing how bad unemployment really 1
was.
Big Chance
On the other side of the picture
we have the CMe of-'Mr Kirchen
berg, who advertised for. a stenog
rapher." When he arrived at t lis
office, ha found the entrance to
the office building' blocked with
literally hundred* of girls.
When he opened his door, ? rail
ing was torn down, tables were
overturned and Mr. Kirch enberg
was almost trampled underfoot.' |
Then one of the girls .with a
sporting idea yelled, "let's all take
a chance. Raffle the job off."
So they all pitched In and made
up 500 numbers with duplicates.
Then they drew. The lucky num
ber was 43. Just to prove that
they were all good sports, (he
other girls left the building cheer
ing the winner.

Bigger Soybean Yield
Caused By Fertilizing
Good yields of soybean hay or
sesji are Secured sometimes with
out fertilizer but more profitable
yields result from the use of, these
plant food mixtures. <
Enoc C. Blair, extension agrono
mist at State College, finds the
belief widespread In eastern Caro
lina, especially, , that It Is not ne
cessary to fertilize the soybean
crop. This, he Says, is. a, mistake.
Growers' who do not fertilize are
getting about one ton of soybean
hay to the acre when they might
as easily have one and one-half or
for graduation.

two tons. This statement is sup
ported by the nndlv^s'ot the North
Oarollna Experiment Station as well
u by the practices of good farmers.
"For Instance," saytf Blair, tt O.
Thomas of Moore county made a
yield of 4,576 pounds of soybean
tyfcy to the acre as the result of ap
plying MO pounds of an 8-3-3
fertiliser. This yield was made on
typical Sandhill soil, -which In Its
natural state will scarcely produce
more than ten bushels of corn to
the acre. We have reports from
other men who conducted coopera
tive demonstrations with us Mst
year showing that such medium ap
plications of fertiliser will pay well
with the soybean crop."
Another Instance of how ferti
lizer pays In growing more of this
summer legume hay is the results
of experimental work. at the Upper
Coastal Plain Branch Station near
Rocky Mount. Last year, says Mr
Blair, the application of <
an acre ol-an 8-2-4 ]
a 10 per oent Increase In the
of hay and a 93 per cent
in the yield of seed
Such excellent result! as these
poln^out the profitable results to
be secured in fertilizing soybeans
to make good yield of hay or seed,
