I WHY NOT?
When you aie weary of the world,
and lonesome for a friend,
And If you don’t know anyone on
whom you can depend,
And if you are disappointed. and
weak and sore at heart,
Why not turn your face to Jesus, and
let Hint take your part?
11 you are most discouraged, and
your soul’s a lump of lead.
And if you just hate ev’rything, and
wish that you were dead,
And if you have lost your honor, and
your hope and patience, too,
Why not make a try with Jesus, and
Ret Him help you through?
For Jesus will defend you, and al
ways be your guide,
And He will love and bless you, too,
and stay right by your siae.
And when you see one in trouble,
you’ll pass it on again:
“Just put your trust in Christ, my
friend, for ’twill not be in vain.”
—Rachel Conrad.
IF YOUR HOUSE CATCHES
FIRE—
If your house catches fire—keep
your head. Follow a simple but vital
routine and your chance of escaping
safely will be tremendously increas
ed. Succumb to panic and thought
less activity and your next stop may
be the hospital or the morgue.
Writing in McCall’s John J. Me
Elligott, New York Fire Chief,
points out that two-thirds of our
annual fire deaths occur in dwellings
mainly because the occupants don't
know how to get out. And three
fourths of these victims are trapped
on top floors, because they fail to
recognize the danger signals of heal
and pressure on bedroom doors.
The first thing the householde’
should do if awakened by fire, is t<
feel the bedroom door panel. If the
wood is hot, don't open the door un
less you want to sign your death war
rant. If there is an exit via a window
or roof, take it. If not, stay in the
room with the door closed and cat
for help.
If the door is relatively cool, oper
it an iclr, with your body braced a
gainst it so it can be instantly
slammed if a rush of hot air follows
the opening. If the heat outside is
bearable, move with the utmosi
speed. Don’t try to save belongings
Fire travels a thousand times fastei
than anyone realizes. A stairway
that is passable one minute, may bt
a roaring inferno the next. And once
you're outside — stay out! Many ?
liife has been lost because someone
rushed back inside a burning build
ing.
Chief McElligott recommends that
every family hold periodic fire drills
especially if there are children. Tht
experience these drills provide may
be a life-saver if fire eventually
breaks out — a mind and body train
ed in the technique of escaping a
burning building, are not so suscep
tible to the deadly delay and panic.
MOUNTAIN LOGIC
The manner in which the recent
tactics of the C. I. O. is being viewed
by the public isindicated by the fol
lowing extracts from an editorial ot
Clinch Valley News, which is publish
ed in the smali mountain town o‘
Tazewell. Ya.:
“The wing of American people
who have been in sympathy with or
ganized labor have had their loyalty
strained almost to the breaking
point within the past few weeks by
virtue of labor's tactics in the strike
areas. One of the chief dangers to
the cause of organized labor today
is the foreign agitator, the ignorant
botnb-thrower. In many of the dis
turbances recently the leaders nanv
es have been unipronouncable, many
of whom may have been American
born, but still cling to the old world
method of strong arm tactics.
“The right to strike cannot be de
nied any worker, but his privilege tc
employ questionable methods to pre
vent others from working is not in
keeping with the American way ot
doing things. The rank and file oi
Arrvtrlcan people have been in sym
pathy for the past years with labor
ers in the steel industry, the mining
industry, and other industries attend
ed by hazards to life and health, but
the increase in wages and the short
ening of working hours, as well as
better working conditions, have re
moved the causes for sympathy. La
bor disturbances in recent months,
where there was apparently no just
i-ause, have weakened the cause of
the unions. _ .

FAULTY VISION
Many people seem to be afflicted
with faulty vision. They suffer from
the kind of eyes that see flaws,
faults and mistakes in others rather
than note the good intention, the
struggles, isdications of personal
growth and development. They can
not overlook the faults, foibles an t
errors of others. Change of glasses
will not correct this trouble. The
treatment must go deeper and in
volve a change of heart. They must
leant to see their companions
through eyes of love, to recognize
not only their personal appearance
but their ideals, ambitions, strivings
and learn to love them not for what
they are but for what they hope to
be.—Fred A. Young.
MILLS LOOKING SOUTHWARD
Walter Neale, of the Duplan Silk
Corporation, recently issued a state
I meut warning the citizens of Penn
| sylvania that if the officials of that
' State continued their present policy
of refusing to give protection to
those who wish to work without join
ing the C. I. O., many textile plants
would be forced to move to the
South.
Mr. Neale said in part:
“The larger textile mills in Penn
sylvania have almost without excep
tion maintained the NRA wages and
hours, and in most cases are paying
wages substantially in excess of the
minimum and as much as conditions
in the industry will permit. Their
workers are satisfied and know' that
I better wages will be paid when war
ranted. But unreasonable wage de
mands by union organizers interest
ed solely in dues will have the same
result in Pennsylvania as they have
elsewhere. Paterson has been wreck
| ed as a textile center. New England
has been wrecked, and the business
: formerly enjoyed by thousands of
workers in such communities has
gone South. The citizens of Penn
sylvania and their elected authori
ties had better w'ake up and realize
the importance of preserving order
in their community or they will
soon see idle plants with workers j
without jobs and a valuable industry
1 to Pennsylvania completely shatter-j
ed." 1

What Has Gone Before:
Dead. End is a street fronting
the river on New York’s East
Side, where the dingy tenements
of the poor rub elbows with a
luxurious apartment house of the
very rich. A group of tough,
dirty street urchins make the
wharf their playground, the be
garbaged river their swimming
hole. Tommy Gordon is their
leader. Drina, Tommy’s older
sister, has spent her young life
struggling to rescue him from
the sordid neighborhood. She is
in love with Dave Connell, an
unemployed architect. Dave, I
however, thinks he loves Kay
Burton, a rich man’s darling.
Two strange men wander into l
Dead End. Dave recognises one.
Chapter Two
Dave watched the shadow of fear
Gvit flickered across Martin's face
when ho realized that Dave had
recognized him in spite of the plas
tln surgery that had transformed
hV face into an expressionless
im.sk.
"J. was one of the gang of kids,”
J>«ve told him. "Remember?”
"I'eah. Sure.” Martin relaxed,

kto. Still good at keeping your lips
Irvitoned up?”
"It depends on how good you are

Dave took out a cigarette and
usually lit it. Martin turned irrit

the swimming pool in the apart
ment house, about his uncle, Judge
Griswald. He bet them a dollar he
could name all the presidents of
the United States. Tommy suggest
ed to the others that they "fix"
him. This they would have done,
quickly and expertly, had not
Philip’s father and French gover
ness arrived to take Philip away.
When the Griswalds had gone the
boys went into a huddle. He was.
they decided, badly in need of mus
sing up.
Kay Burton came out of the
ipartment house and walked over
to where Dave awaited her. He
rose and his eyes were soft as he
greeted her.
"I had such a good time last
night,” she told him gaily. "I usual
ly go to fancy places and have a
lull time. But I always have fu.e
A-ith you, Dave.”
Unconsciously Kay looked up a*
icr terrace and frowned. Dave fol
owed her gaze and read her
;houghts. She was thinking of hint
— the man who paid for all that.
fle hated the man, but he couldn't
ulame Kay.
“Do you like hir* ?” he asktv*
gently.
"Yes, I like him. He’s been good
:o me. He wants to marry me now."
“That’s his boat out there, isn’t
t?" He indicated a yacht lying at
mchor. “Looks as if it's getting
ready to make a trip. When?”
Kay lowered her eyes “I don’t
know.”
“You’ll be going with him, won’t
fou?” Seeing her unhappy face, he

r.bly to Hunk, who had boon stand
ing behind him, nervously listening
to their conversation. “Go over and
try the address in Brooklyn. Sec if
you can find her." He said to Dave,
“I'm sending him over for Francey.
Remember Francey? She was my
girl when we were kids.”
“Yes. She moved away a long
time ago. Well, you turned into a
headliner, all right. All over the
newspapers. Should you be around
here?"
“I ain’t here,” Martin grinned,
"I’m out West. I got kind of a yen
to see my old lady — and Francey.
You know?" He leaned toward
Dave confidentially. “I ain’t seen
my mother in ten years! Since the
day I came out of reform school.”
"You’ve come a long way since
•■hen,” said Dave. “Eight men — ”
Martin exploded angrily, “What
you trying to do, you —. ’’ His
anger subsided as quickly as it had
flared. “Say, what’s your racket?”
"I’m an architect. I build houses.
Or I would if I could get a house
to build.”
“You don’t say. Well. You went
•o high school and college, didn’t
you? You were always smarter
than the other slobs, Dave. You
must be in the dough now.”
“Yes, sir. I been painting Pas
cagli’s restaurant for a month and
he’s going to give me twenty-five
bucks for it. And that's the first
dough I’ve earned in a long time."
Martin regarded Dave with a
puzzled expression. Suddenly he
threw back his head and laughed
“Six years in college, and what you
get now is handouts. That’s a good
one! Well, I’m glad I ain't like you
punks. Starving and freezing — for
what? Peanuts? I got mine. I took
!t. Look.”
He indicated his shirt — real silk
Twenty bucks. His suit — custom
tailored. A hundred and fifty bucks
He launched into a rhapsodic ac
count of the “dames” a man coulc
have if he knew his way around.
Dave said quietly, "Ever gel
scared?"
“Me? What of? You can’t liv<
forever. Sometimes I get the jitters
Sometimes — aw, hell. I want to sec
Francey. Maybe she’s married
Maybe —. ”
They continued to talk in lov
tones. Across the street Tommy
T. B., Angel and Spit had made at
Interesting discovery. A rich bo]
who lived in the East River Apart
ments was standing in the exit. Dui
to road repairs the street running
parallel one block south had beei
closed off, the tenants of the build
tug were obliged to use the rea:
exit. The boys stared incredulously
at his immaculate shirt, long trous
ers and plastered hair.
“What are you — a boy or i
girl?" inquired Tommy.
“He’s a girl. Can’t you see?” sail
Spit scornfully.
They were so filthy and ragged
Philip Griswald felt inclined t
continued quickly, Im to phone
Del Block this afternoon. I’ve been
trying to get a job with him for a
long time. I left some drawings
there, and he said there might be
something. It wouldn't pay much,
but —. ” He paused. "I guess I’m
a fool to talk this way."
Kay said, ”1 haven’t thought
about the trip. I kept pushing it
off because — I suppose because of
you. I’ve thought about us a lot,
Dave.”
Their conversation was interrupt
ed by the arrival of Kay’s chauf
feur, who informed her the car«
wa3 waiting. Kay touched Dave’s
hand and left him. staring discon
solately out over the river.
Meanwhile two strange kids had
approached the wharf. They cau
tiously came up to Tommy and his
gang. One of them spoke.
“Which is the captain of this
gang?”
"Me," said Tommy. “Who wants
to know?”
“We’re up from the block,” said
the second boy. “Want to fight our
gang?”
“Sure," said Tommy readily. He
turned to the others. “O.K. fellas?”
They agreed noisily. "O.K. Satur
day? Four o’clock? No bottles and
rocks, just sticks and bare knucks.
Flat sticks.”
“O. K. The two boys, pleased
with their pact, moved off up the
street.
‘Baby Face' Martin had watched
the byplay between the boys. He
smiled.
“So your fight’s at four o’clock?”
“Yes, sir,” said Tommy. “We’ll
be there on the minute.”
Martin laughed. “That’s the
trouble. That’s the wrong way. Get
there early. Surprise them. Pick up
some old milk bottles —. ”
“Can’t,” Tommy interrupted. “We
made up no bc/.tles, only bare
knucks and sticks.”
Martin snorted. “You made up.
Listen, when you fight, the idea is
to win. It don’t matter how. And
to win a gang fight there’s nothing
like a stocking full of sand and
rocks, and If that don’t work, a
• knife will.”
“But that ain’t fair —. ”
"Ain’t fair, huh? Suppose some
guy pulls a knife on you?”
“Then I pull one on him." Tom

Martin grabbed it from his hand,

On that basis, the American busi

‘If a child who suffers from too
