Figures, obtained by the Na tional Bureau of Casualty and Surety Underwriters, indicate that three-fourths of the cars inspected infirmary after an ‘ illness of six weeks. ' Mrs. Stapleton was 64 years of age, a native of McCormick county; Sk. C„. and had* lived in Augusta for In a number of states last year had the past half century dangerous defects. -Nearly 48 per cent of these defective cars were equipped with tires that were either poor or only in fair condition. A poor, even a fair tire, is liable to a puncture or blowout, and every one knows what that means at high I cemetery All drivers have noticed the ab normal number of blowouts and punctures during the first warm days. The heat has raised the air pressure and a worn tire has blown out or punctated on a sharp ob struction or severe bump. During the winter months the dampness has seeped in through the cuts and bruises produced by thousands of miles of driving. This dampness has decayed the rubber and weak ened the tire. There were 7,12* accidents last year due to punctures or blowouts. In 480 of these accidents persons Funeral services ^111 be conduct ed this afternoon at 4 o’clock from the Woodlawn Baptist church, the Rev. A‘. Thad Persons officiating, assisted by the Rev. Thomas Walk er, and interment will be in Magno- Deacons of the Woodlawn Baptist church, of which she Was a mem ber, will serve as pallbearers. Mem bers of the beginners department of the church’s Sunday school will attend the funeral in a body. Mrs. Stapleton, W deeply con secrated womdn and a faithful Worker in her church throughout her residence here, Was superin tendent of the beginners depart ment of the Sunday-school. Surviving her ,besides her hus band, are two sisters, Mrs. Janie Gable Tice and Mrs. Anna Gable Smith, both of Augusta; two broth ers, John L. Gable, Leaf, Fla., and a righteous man of God who could be neither bribed nor intimidated. He stood forth crying “Thus saith the Lord,” and though the king writhed and fumed and sought to destroy, the prophet was the victor. The first of this exalted company was Nathan, who was court preach er in the reign of David. When that mighty monarch had . stolen the wife of the brave soldier Vriah and compounded. the crime by sending Uriah into the front line of the battle, Nathan appeared at the court and announced^that he had come to tell the king a story. There were two men in a certain city, he said, the one rich, having many flocks an<j .herds, and the other so poor, that h.e ; possessed only one little ewe lamb. And the rich man, desiring a banquet, had spared all of his own big flocks and appro priated the poor man’s one lamb. And Davidis aitger w.as great ly kindled against the man; and he said to Nathan, As the Lord liveth, the man that hath done this thing , shall surely die. ... , v And Nathan said to David, Thou art the man. Picture to yourself the spectacle. The king on his golden throne sur rounded by his lords and soldiers; the penniless preacher, clothed in rough skins, with no power but Truth, no protection but the flam ing sword of moral courage. “Thou art the man.” The effect was im mediate. And David said unto Nathan, I have sinned against the Lord, and David fasted, and went hi, and lay all night upon the . . r i.i< i— iii, an,,,, . . , in the woods, drinking the water of mountain streams, and fed by ravens. He it was who stood out against the four hundred prophets of the religion of Baal which the wicked Queen Jezebel had import ed, and challenged them to a life and death contest. They were to build their altar and lay their sac rifice thereon; he would lay a simi lar sacrifice on the altar of the Lord. Whichever god sent down fire from Heaven was the one who deserved to be worshiped. From morning until noon the; false proph ets leaped upon their altar, calling out to Baal, while Elijah taunted tperh. .. s And it came to pass at noon, that Elijah mocked them, and , said. Cry aloud: for he is a god; either he is talking, or he is pursuing, or he is in a journey, or peradveiiture he ’ sleepeth and must be awaked. .J At evening when the four hun dred had proved their inability to deliver the goods, Elijah laid up his own altar, placed the sacrifioei on it, stacked up the wood, and poured water over it to make the test harder. Then he prayed. Then the fire of the Lord fell, and consumed the burnt sacri fice, and the wood, and the stones, and the dust, and lick ed up the water that was in the trench. And when all the people saw it, they fell on their faces: and they said. The Lord, he is the God; the Lord, he is the God. Next Week: When Prophets Spoke Copyright, Bobbs-Merrill Contpany in jured.

The gravity of the housing prob lem in America can be simply il lustrated by a comparison of the number of families provided with new residential units in recent years. In 1922, some 378,000 families se cured new homes. In 1925, when the all-time high was reached, close to 500,000 home, structures were built. The ten-year average from 1921-30 was 361,000^ units each year. In 1933, new home construction ■ dropped to less than 30,000. Making the probleip still more severe is the fact that during de pression depreciation and obsoles cence of existing homes were more than normally great. Thousands of houses literally^ went to pieces, due to lack of upkeep. The result is that a heavy per centage of our people live in sub standard dwellings. Doubling up, with several families occupying one home, is commonplace. It was re cently estimated that 4,000,000 families lived in this manner. And population shifts have gone oh, de pression or no depression, creating tremendous home shortages in various localities. Better times are the herald of stimulated construction. A jump in building is coming as certainly as the tides, and it is going to advance building costs—both for materials and for skilled labor. The wise property owner, with money to spend, is beginning to realize that this is really the time to build and •repair, while bargain prices still exist. tXI Examination For Freight Rate Clerk j The United States Civil Service Commission will accept applica tions until June 4 for the position of Freight Rate Clerk.

During the year and a half in which the blonde actress from Soviet Russia was prepared for her American film debut in the Samuel Goldwyn production, “Nana,” showing Monday and Tuesday at the - Abbeville Opera House, Anna didn’t work and she certainly didn’t travel. “It made me unhappy,” said An na in her throaty, measured tones. “It is a year out of my life that I shall have to make up.” But once production on “Nana” got under way, the bewitching Rus sian beauty could no longer com plain about not getting her share of work. Her little black coupe roll ed in through the studio gate at half past seven every morning, with the Santa Monica fog still glistening upon it. The little bunch of fresh flowers which she made a practice of plac ing up beside the windshield each morning were usually wilted by the time she was ready to head the lit tle coupe back toward her beach house at night. It was always eight o’clock or later. However, Anna never worried about late dining, since she continues in Hollywood the Russian custom of eating the principal meal at ipidday. “Nana,” based on episodes In the life of Emile Zola’s notorious cour tesan, was adapted for the screen by Willard Mack and Harry Wag- staff Gribble. Dorothy Arzner for release through United Artists. Lesson for May 27th. Matt. 25:31-46. Golden Text: 2 Corinthians 5: Note the principle of separation in this wonderful parable of the final judgment. The saved and the unsaved are not selected on the basis of creed, or race, or church affiliation, but by the criterion of neighborly kindness. Those who have fed the hungry and thirsty, who have housed the stranger, clothed the naked, and visited the sick and imprisoned, are welcomed into eternal life. But all who have neglected these fundamental obli gations are condemned. This test is made very graphic by Tolstoi’s story, “Where Love Is, God Is.” Martin, a devout cobbler, liv ed in a basement room with only one window. In his old age he thought much about his soul. One night he sat up late reading the gospel until he fell asleep. A voice It was directed by called to him, “Martin, Martin! Look out into the street tomorrow, for I shall come.” The next day an old, broken down soldier came to Martin’s win dow, and cleared away the snow with his spade. “What if I called him in?” thought Martin. They had tea together. Then later a strange woman, with shabby clothes, and a crying baby passed Martin’s window. Mar tin invited her in, fed her, gave her an old cloak, and played with the baby until it laughed. Later still an apple-woman stop ped in front of Martin’s window. A boy snatched an apple, and tried to steal away. The woman seized him and scolded. Martin came out and pleaded for forgiveness. That night Martin again opened the New Testament. He seemed to hear footsteps. Sure enough, there was the old soldier, the woman and her baby, and the apple-woman and boy. And Martin’s soul was glad. He put on his spectacles, and this is what he read: “I was a hungered, and ye gave me meat: I was thirs ty, and ye gave me drink: I was A stranger, and ye took me in ... in asmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these ihy brethren, ye hate done it unto me.”
