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.

church, of which she Was a 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.

Announce Faculty for
Clemson Summer
Scliool Session!
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.

Anna Sten Tom
’Twixt Two Loves
TRAVEL AND WORK SHARE
FAVOR OF BEAUTIFUL
‘NANA’ STAR
Anna Sten has two loves—travel
and her work. 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.

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.”
