Vol. 23, No. 22, THE AUTOMOBILE IS RESPONSIBLE THE AUTOMOBILE IS RESPONSIBLE In spite of the fact that 31,000 people were killed last year by auto mobiles, the general accident affords grounds for optimism. Accidents among children of school age have increased less than one tenth of one-per cent in the last seven years. Less than 100 passengers were killed while traveling on all the American 129. Hurtfuls of our large industrial concern made remalne records in reducing their accident rates, both in frequency and severity. A mutitude of smaller plants are establishing one, two and even five-year "no accident" records. Had it not been for the tragic increase of deaths and injuries due to the automobiles the national accident rate would now be 30 per cent lower than it was 17 years ago. The crux of the entire matter is that we have made good progress in preventing all kinds of accidents except those for which most are responsible. Safety work and instruction in schools and industries, fostered and encouraged by casualty insurance companies, has been the means of saving thousands of lives in the last decade. This work is being carried on with increasing intensity and vast progress will be recorded in the future. The automobile accident record will not be reduced until we take decisive means to keep the reckless, the irresponsible, and both the mentally and physically incompetent from the public highways where they menace the lives and property of all other motorists. THE VALUE OF VISUAL INSTRUCTION IN RELIGIOUS EDU (Delivered at Kow Valley District Sunday School Convention) Cradle Roll Dept. July 29. 1930. In the beginning I shall endeavor to explain what the word visual means. Visual means pertaining to or resulting from; or serving the sense of sight; (visible: to see). If we are to advance or further the instruction of religious education it must be done through visual instruction as well as in other ways. It is not only to tell others, but to show them, and we can show them by drawing material images, that is, things they can see, in order that they may get a picture of what we mean; (namely: by precept and example). 2. As a teacher of the S. S. I want to di cuss this subject through the eyes of a teacher. To instruct religiously the instructor or teacher must be a christian; modest in her manners, and very careful in department; must be ideal in service and sacrifice. The teacher must know enough of the Bible to teach it; the teacher must do: (teach by precept and example), because what we act out in our lives, speaks so loud, until our fellowmen cannot hear what we speak with our lips. "The true aim of teaching is in account with true aim of life," "Study to show thy self approved unto God, a workman that needeth not be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth." 2nd Tim. 15th vs. 3. Education puts each new generation into possession of those race acquisitions which apply to religious education. We may say that it is the process whereby adults who have achieved something of right relations to their fellows and to God; this may assist the young to reach similar relations. Religious education must take into account the whole child, the whole educator, whole goal. It is not only acquiring, but becoming. The same hand that impels the child through what we call the religious impulse impels the educator also to supply food for the growth of that impulse. The religious impulse must be fed and it must be led to realize its full marhood through voluntary obesience to Christ; this is religious education. I took a piece of plastic and idly CRIME PROBLEMS AND INDUSTRIAL POBLEMS CRIME PROBLEMS AND INDUSTRIAL POBLEMS The industrial preeminence of the United States is due largely to the fact that our best scientific and executive intelligences have given intensive attention to industry's social and economic problems, with marked success. In contrast to this, we have failed entirely in handling the crime problem because we have, for the most part, given it over into the hands of emotional farmers, rather than logical, experienced thinker Probably every literate American is aware that we have too many laws, too many legal technical ties and too much red-tape. We know that these things give the criminal a tremendous advantage over society. But the agitation for more laws continues with unabated force. The scientific genius that has solved our industrial problems can solve our crime problems. On the one hand are the factors of poverty ignorance, disease; on the other, the factors of grief, political criminal alliances and unenforceable laws. Until we approach crime from the stand point of logical, rather than blind observation the underworld will continue to flourish. Osawatomie Doings Services as usual; laqt Sunday good attendance in S.

I took a piece of living clay And gently formed it day by day. And molded with my power and art A young child's soft and yielding heart.

CONTRABAND SEIZED One 25-gallon still, complete; 1, 400-gallon still complete, with condenser, 7 mash vats of 500 gallon capacity, burners, agers, and other liquor making equipment. 1 Ford (Lane) 1 Dodge Coupe (Austin).

Still in Possession 5. Internts 4. Notable Arrests Of The Last Two Weeks: John Pettus--Who lives on south Mosley and has been operating a still. This is a small pot. Jim Lane--Caught delivering 10 gallon of rye whiskey. Sandford Austin--Has been caught so many times that we have lost track, was again caught delivering 10 gallon of rye whiskey. He will be prosecuted by the Federal Government this time. Green Gables--Of local fame, was invaded by both the police and the Government Agents, and a number of prominent citizens of this vicinity were relieved of their bottles and pocket flasks. As we entered we found from 150 to 200 people enjoying themselves as their individual desires allowed them. About 65 pints of whiskey was taken from the tables, or from the persons of the patrons of this joint. This is a well known Road House that might do grace to some of the larger cities. A large gambling table with the necessary equipment, such as dice cups chins and a layout, were also confiscated. Several slot machines were confiscated in a shed on the premises. These were reported to be operating on the nights that the Federals had their undercover agents working there. These men are to be tried in the Federal Courts. The State Attorney General's office has also caused warrants to be issued for their arrests on gambling charges The Evergreens- Another Road House where the people of this vicinity might go to eat, drink and be merry. A gambling table was also unstairs in this place. O. M. E. Chicken Garden--On South Lawrence, just east of Shadowland Dance Hall, and has long been the hangout for drunkers. This place was raided and the liquor secured before the owners had time to dump, and about a gallon of alky was seized. The Government had made purchases from the two colored porters and the two operators of this joint. Some of the men mentioned with the Green Gables were here at the time of this raid. The stopping of this flow of liquor should have a tendency to stop the number of drunken drivers that we have been picking up on the South Lawrence Highway. A large still was confiscated in Kingman County last week. This still is believed to belong to one of the men that has been mentioned with a large local syndicate of liquor dealers, and according to our information, is the second that has been taken from this man recently.

Crosswaith Under the aeges of the Federal Government, machers and widows of American soldiers who fell in France during the World War and were buried there, and now being tendered a trip to the graves of their fallen kln. It is the contention or many students of public affairs that the pilgrimage is being fostered more from a desire to offset the prevalent agitation for universal peace, than from any genuine desire to honor the men who sleep beneath the sod in France and Flanders, or soothe the broken hearts of the mothers and wives they left behind. Many critics also contend that the whole plan of sending to the graves of their loved ones these bereaved women is, part of a well laid scheme to create "the perfect psychological atmosphere" from which it is expected will flow a powerful stream of willing recruits in the next great venture "to make the world safe for plutocracy." Be the motive what it may, several of white mothers and widows already have made the pilgrimage "over there." With tear slame eyes these women have gazed upon the earth-covered and unrecognizable remains of those who, willingly or unwillingly, rightly or wrongly, sacrificed their lives for the "glory of their country" and—as many of them believed—"for the preservation of civilization." Not the gentle ripple on unpeaceless in the sea of public attention was caused either by their departure or On the contrary their fellow citizens high and low, poured out upon their bowed heads and proud bosoms a full measure of mingled pity and envy for the inexpatable grief and sacrifice which fate had called upon them to sustain. These women were sympathetically referred to as "Gold Star Mothers." Many skeptics claim that this form of recognition was chosen because gold very aptly symbolizes the purpose for which the war was fought; while others point to the fact that in our present social order gold represents the god to which human rights, liberty and life are sacrificed. However it cannot be denied that to pin on the breast of these bereaved women a gold star, was recognition after a fashion that the nation felt somewhat keenly a debt of gratitude toward those who had died for it during the war. The Hoover administration it appear, was unable to allow such a golden opportunity to pass without once more spewing into the collective face of the Negro race another gravy insult. Since the days of Woodrow Wilson no other Federal administration has so often gone out of its way deliberately and needlessly to offend the Negro. Mr. Hoover, for the short time he has been in the White House has done more to share the Negroes' loyalty to America than any president emanant patlion. The seeds which his administration is row sowing may well bear abundant and luscious fruits when the nation again calls upon the Negro to bear arms in its defense. Otivious', alarmed and surprised by the incontinence wave of resentment which its plan to segregate ard humiliate the mothers and waves of Negro soldiers created, the administration now resorts to the well-known tactics of the cuttle fish. In order to save its face and cage the centempt which its action has so generously called forth from Negroes and the usual minority of high minded Americans, Secretary of War Hurley, as acts that 'if Negro Gold Star mothers are being segregated and discriminated against in their journey to the graves of their dead in France, the War Department is not alone to blame.' He then cites several steamship lines operating out of New York which he said refused to accommodate the Negro Gold Star mothers. If these steamship lines did refuse passage to the Nigro Gold S.ar moth- JUST KIDS—Times Will Change. BY AD CARLER FOR THE LOVE OF MUSE MISTER CARTER!

Sept. 2—An organization of a basket ball team, which will be sponsored during the coming season by a local chapter of the Colored Elks Club, was affected recently at a meeting of those interested in the team. Frank Brown who has had charge of the Emporia Wizards, fast colored team of Emporia, for two years, will be manager and coach of the El Dorado team. The El Dorado team will play other colored teams of this vicinity during the coming season. The local chapter of the Colored Elks Club will be organized at a meeting here on September 22, which is the anniversary of Emancipation Day for the Negroes. The meeting will be held at Snider's Hall. The principle speakers at this meeting will be Dr. J. J. Carter, of Emporia; H. H. Wilson, of Wichita, and Willie Huggins of El Dorado. ers because of their color, they were simply following the example which the government itself had set when it decided, in the first instance, to seperate the women on the basis of race. Ilis expressed willingness now to permit the Negro mothers to go on the the same ships with white ever, the strong tide of maternal ones providing "it is agreeable to all concerned" seems nothing more than a clumsy attempt to shift from the shoulders of the government the responsibility for a deed which, to call it disdardly, would be to look upon it with kindness and condolence. As an indication of the reunion temp- which the Negro is mid-distance toward those who would still treat him with contumely, the action of a majority of the Negro Gold Star mothers in refusing to accept the insult hurled at them and at the civilized womanhood of America, is refreshing and praiseworthy. Howe- ever, the strong tide of maternal love which swept the other 58 Negro women into accepting from the government passage on afreight ship to the graves of their dead in France can be understood, and even appreciated. nevertheless; it would have been better by far had they, like their masters in color and size, retired ti go. It would have been thrice ti go. It would have been thrice nooner had they said "though we are cagar to rest our tear-stained eyes upon the spot where sleep in a foreign land our loved ones, yet we feel that we would be utterly unworthy of the sacrifices which they made when they died, were we to accept any scheme to fim crow, insult and ham hate their mathers and widows in particular and the race to which they belong. We would much rather set their unredeemed herks real undisturbed where they now're than to hand our knees over the hallowed spot and to show our womenhood and racial pride to be wounded on brazenly.

A. to the Committee or Management and the Membership in general. THE leaving of former Executive Secretary, W. L. Hutcherson, has left a task and responsibility upon us and has opened up new opportunities for us. OUR TASK During the administration of the former Secretary the Y. M. C. A. touched every phase of life imaginable. Its influence was felt far and wide because of the tireless and unselfish effort of a powerful personality, the Executive Secretary "Hutch", Hutch has gone, we feel keenly his absence. Some are so deeply touched by his going that they say their support of the work ceases with his departure. Some even predict the failure if the work because he has gone. Hence our task is to disillusion the deconsolate ones who sit like the Buddists with themselves into the Nirvana. But progress is not made by greiving and wishring. It is made toiling, toiling and toiling. It is the result of a constant grind. As we face up with our task we must not reman down but resolve in our hearts as did the Prodigial Son. "I will arise and go to my father." Those of us who have ever stood on the docks in New York Harbor and watch ships great and small ones come in have noticed this one thing; as the ship gets nearer and nearer the dock it slows down. As it is about to inter the dock it comes to an almost standstill. But when it strikes the dock it hits with quite a hard lunge. Tho' the vessel moved slowly, it had great weight. The weight plus the rate of speed resulted in what the physicists call momentum; the momentum of the boat causes the hard lunge. We have the momentum of nine years of hard work on the part of those who labored in the interest of the boys and young men of Wichita (Secretary and Committee of Management.) It is our opportunity to use the momentum we already have and carry on to greater heights than than those already attained to. When our Lord Jesus was on earth he did a wonderful work. It was so wonderful that his followers were greatly amazed at every turn of the road. But he said: "Greater works than these Ye shall do." The Disciples did not see how this could be done because our Lord stood and (Continued On Page 4) = Se ae te he Buen Cate GE Imoroved Uniform International o ® SundaySchool "Lesson" (By REV P A FITTIWATER, DD, Mome ber of Faculty, Moody Bible Institute of Chicano > (D, 1930, Western Newspaper Union } ——____-________-___} Lesson for September 7 JOSIAH, A ROYAL REFORMER t Peron TEXT—I1 Kings 22 2-8; 238.

Hutcherson | Over Station KTH. | ‘the Radio Vesper Hour Sunday — wAvgust, 17 1930, | (Continued from last issue) fellow member If Jesus really helped me in facing ard dealing with great mortal and social questions. My re- rly, to the surprite of my quest- foner, was ,"Hoe does,” and that Is true. Jesus means to me an expres- sion of the will of God for man, ‘What the fulness of that will is one heleves has 'o be vrogieseively dis- covered. But it does appear that Jesus very cleaaly revealg God as a Father to be loved, adcred, It is alzo apparent that by His life and teachings Jesus showed imuch con. cern about the everyday affairs of men and in a real sense served as u pattern either in deed or spirit for regulating such affairs, This attern in fis firal form acsumes the shape of the cross, and that means defeat, taking what appears to be the harder side, the worst end of the bargain of life; it means believ- ing in truth ond righteousness so strongly that they are to be suffer. “4 for, even urto the bitter end. I think that is precisely what Jesus mears to me. itis hfe and teachings | were a clear call to man to turn to the God whom He knew, loved and followed as Father, and to all men as brothers. The content of His call was not liked and He paid for His unpopularity with His hfe. To- day Jesus is loved and followed be- cause people believe in these tw? Freat Jessons He taught and for which ue tee God {s a loving Father; all meh are brothers, It may appear strange and some- wdat forced to connect this sublime teaching about the fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man with the shame and suffering of the fross. Yet it Is over such a wide range that the meaning of Jesus ex- tends, He represents at once the easence of grandeur and the dregs of sorrow. If He means anything to me, it is that if I would follow Him I must understand the genious of this wpparent paradox/ and to the ex- tent that I understand it am I Jed to emulate it. Subjection to the meaning of the cross becomes there Fore the consciousness of the victory of hfe over death, of joy over pain and of Jove over hatred. In other words Jesus means to me that I am not defeated when I appear to be in my relations with another race; that: can afford to take what appears to be less desirable side of the bar- gin, that I must and should eschew retahation in kind, and that I am called upon to try to the extent of my ability, the weapon of love. Jesus means these things to me in the or- dinary sense that other great histor- icals lessons force me to accept them because of ther proved truth and value, Therefore, in the world of relation- ships in which I live [ must will to co-operate even when the other party reccessary to this action is unwill- ing; I must pay the price of being criticized by my fellows for what ™may appear to them to be a too un- aggressive manner of achieving the desired end, and I must even permit myself to err on the side of patience end tolerance and stand the eriticism that will surely be leveled against such action; I must likewise refuse to question the value of a method and a spirit which have always in the long run proved v'ctor; I must rot fight prejudice with prejudice, hatred with more hate. The essence of the meaning of Jesus to me ts an overwhelming Jove and } must try ia every way to practice such Jove even where the dearest relat- | fons, responsibilities or possessions are involved, I know I fail micer- ably fs doing this, but the meaning of Jesus to me is that I should do *t, and I confess I am helped a httle in doing it when I try to understand and subject myself to my under- standing of the meaning of the cross, That I believe is the secret of! the Joy of the followers of Jesus, But, after all, life would be d very limited thing if it found full satis- faction in a sustable philosphy and meastion af welationshine (treat | FREE | 3 _ CAR GRASED SOLVE THIS SIMPLE PUZZLE:— ' 17211-11518 -19-20—1—20-5 OIL ' 2—-1—18=14—19-4—-1—12=12 | GASOLINE | Example A equal I—B equal 2—C equal 3 Bring it to ue, und with THREE GALLONS OF GAS and FOUR QUARTS OF OlLand your caris WASHCD FREE at?

It fs not until we undertake to contemplate the Infin'te that we become aware of our comparative nothirgness, And when we realize our own limitations there comes the desire to know the Infinite, the eternal,-God; and that is where the meaning of Jesus comes In. For me no system of theology,or philosophy has ever “prived’? con- clusively the existence of God, nor has any such system revealed much to me about the nature of God. A Mindu student eald to me one day that a certain Bishop was the great. est argument he had met for Christ- janity; In this rense Jesus is the strongest argument 1 face in support of the idea of God. That ts the great meaning cf Jesus for me, He lifts me and shows me a power greater than Himself, greater than anything Ican see and know. And Iam led to believe that that power Is the power that He so wonderfully manifested For me, Jesus is not God, but He comes far near than ary intellectual sneculation I have yet met in giv- ing me an idea of the God I crave to krow, but cannot fully know. That is the supreme meaning of Jesus for me. Like a mighty love He drawa one ever on, never fully realized, never wholly possess ed, on and on from the finite to tht Irfinite, from ‘the known to the unknowable, and at those moments when I realize Him best, I am sure that I get a clearer idea of God, of Hla truth, ard of His love. ‘yne Negro Star—for the Good of the People Topeka Kansas News | finous the world ove EAST NULL TOPEKA, RANS,| [mous the world over REV.
