How Much Does College Cost?
Called to service by an arming Britain, these soldiers—part of 30,000 young men between 18 and 21 years
of age—gaily walk into London’s Waterloo railroad station, bound for their various camps and barracks. They
form the vanguard of 200,000 conscripted militiamen who were babies shortly after the World war ended, and
are an integral part of Britain’s preparedness campaign.
Nine-Year Drought May Produce .400 Hitter
The major leagues are preparing to clear the decks for another .400 hitter—the first since 1930, when Bill
Terry hit .401 for the Giants. If he continues at his present clip, Joe DiMaggio of the New York Yankees
will enter the exclusive company of such stars as Rogers Hornsby, Nap Lajoie, Ty Cobb and others. Here is
how he does it: Left: Waiting for the throw. Center: His stance with feet 24 inches apart and just the cor
rect distance from the plate. Pictured at the top right are his keen eyes which follow the ball to the plate.
Bottom: His grip on the bat.

Lesson for August 20
W HAT will it cost to send your son or daughter to college? Last year
600 University of Minnesota students were asked to keep budget,
books by the Northwestern National Life Insurance company. Their find
ings may help if yon add or deduct for climate, size of college and size
of city. Outside tuition (which ran $11.01 per month for women, and
$12.33 for men) average monthly costs were $59.70 for women and $56.54 '
for men. Out-of-town coeds spent $80.60 per month; out of town men, |
$84.90. Students living at home spent about half that much. Conclusion: i
Ont-of-town students spend $18 to $21 a month more than students living
at home.
Here is Sigma Chi horseplay at University of California. At Minne
sota, out-of-town fraternity and sorority members spend $100.03 and $97.10
per month, respectively, exclusive of tuition. Out-of-town students who 1
don’t belong to fraternities and sororities, respectively, spend an average
of $78.67 and $67.58, exclusive of tuition. A snbstantial saving.
Gilbert Wright, son of Novelist Harold Bell Wright, demonstrates how
sound can be transmitted through vocal chords by nse of "talking
sound," which he has invented. Two "buzzers," the size of head-set re
ceivers, are held on both sides of the neck of Mrs. Wright. As Mr. Wright
saws through the board, the sound is picked op by a microphone and
vibrates the vocal chords in his wife’s throat. In this demonstration the
tone was provided by the sawing, and Mrs. Wright formed the words
without uttering them. The invention is based on the two fundamentals
of speech, the tone created by the vocal chords and the movements of
teeth, tongue and Ups.
Complete Transatlantic Track Meet
At University of North Dakota,
this student built his own home near
the campus. At Minnesota, out-of-
town men spend $11 per month for
room; women, $15.47. Meals cost
out-of-town men $25.80 a month;
women, $25.90. Average beauty and
barber shop costs per month: $2.34
for women; 98 cents for men wheth
er fraternity or non-fraternity.
At North Carolina State coUege
many women make their own
clothes. Minnesota sorority coeds
spend $19.59 per month for clothes;
non-sorority, $13.13. Fraternity
men: $12; non-fraternity, $7.25. One
coed in three uses tobacco and the
average cost is $1.58 per month com
pared to $2.41 per month for men
(also one out of three).
Miraculously escaping death when
her car plunged 150 feet from a
viaduct, Mrs. Edna Burdick of New
York suffered only a few scratches
in the almost unbelievable accident.

Ho Hum—I’m All Right
Four track stars completed their "run across the Atlantic" recently
when their ship docked in New York harbor. Embarking at Southampton,
England, they sprinted around the deck of the liner in relays during the
entire crossing. Left to right: Kenneth Baily, Noel Griffin, George Harris
and Douglas Brady. Baily holds the torch which they passed from hand
to hand and which will eventually be presented to President Roosevelt in
the White House. Harris is an American.
Cecil and Carrol Lowe, father and son, share books at Illinois’
McKendree college. Minnesota coeds spend $5.06 per month for books;
men, $5.38. Men spend $6.85 for amusements and v.omen, $1.14, proving
the man still pays despite all this talk about Dutch treats. Dental
and medical: $1.97 per month for women; $2.16 for men; low, thanks to
student health service.
In weather like this, there’s noth
ing like comfortable clothing and a
cooling drink, according to six-
months-old Diane Allen of Forest
Hills, N. Y. “Buster,” her aleif
pal, objects to the heat, too.

BEVERAGE ALCOHOL AND
THE COMMUNITY
LESSON TEXT—Joel 1:5-7; Daniel 5:1-5,
GOLDEN TEXT—Woe unto him that giv.
eth his neighbor drink.—Habakkuk 2:15.
“None of us liveth to himself”
(Rom. 14:7).
What concerns the individual con
cerns the community, for the com
munity is made up of individuals.
The man who uses alcohol has no
right to claim that it is a personal
matter, for alcohol is a poisonous
drug which not only injures the in
dividual, but makes him a danger
and a liability to his community.
Before going into our lesson let us
look at only a few of the many facts
available.
In the five years since repeal,
it is estimated that $30,000,000,000
has been spent for intoxicants with
a profit to the industry of $13,250,-
000,000. But what has it cost the
people?
“In 1937, an entire city the size
of Detroit was maimed and injured,
and an entire city the size of Omaha
was permanently injured, by the
automobile. Sixty per cent of auto
fatalities are due to alcohol” (Chief
Justice of Municipal Court, Evans
ton, 111.).
“Rape has increased 13 per cent
and the more atrocious forms 40
per cent in the last eight months”
(Police Commissioner, Boston,
Mass.).
“Criminals are for the return of
liquor, wet propaganda to the con
trary notwithstanding, and with the
coming of repeal will come the
greatest era of wholesale crime this
country has ever known. The crim
inal world is tensely expectant and
is prepared to launch immediate
ly into its millennium of crime. The
return of the saloon inevitably will
bring open prostitution and gam
bling” (Statement by a criminal in
prison before repeal became effec
tive).
“America is on the worst gam
bling spree in its history. A gross
population, not including all rural
districts, of 80,000,000 persons is
dallying with $6,000,000,000 in win
nings and losings, of which all but
about $1,000,000,000 passes through
the hands of the underworld, where
much of it remains” (Courtney R.
Cooper).
The American Business Men’s
foundation, Chicago, reports that
liquor was responsible for the rejec
tion of more than 93,000 applications
for insurance last year, and that
as a result widows and orphans will
ultimately be deprived of over
$200,000,000 of insurance, making
some of them public charges.
Three words which are altogether
appropriate ■ for the liquor problem
will serve to summarize our lesson.
1. Devastation (Joel 1:5-7).
Drunkards are called on to awake
from their stupor and weep and the
drinkers of wine (note that!) to wail
over the loss of their drink because
of the devastation wrought by the
locusts. This plague had come be
cause of the sins of the people, and
may well serve to exemplify the
devastation which will follow the
use of alcohol as a beverage. The
nations of our day need not think
that they will escape if they con
tinue on their present road of reck
less indulgence.
n. Debauchery (Dan. 5:1-4).
The familiar story of Belshazzar’s
feast should be made to live again
as we point out that we here “have
vividly manifested three of the
great characteristics of the day in
which we live—a coming together
of great multitudes for a riotous night
of drinking, which must of course
end for many in disgusting drunk
enness; provision for acts of dark
est Sensuality in the fact that all
the wives and concubines were
invited to this feast . . . and a con
temptuous, deliberate insulting of
the name of God” (Dr. Wilbur M,
Smith).
III. Death (w. 6, 17, 25-28).
Dramatically swift was God’s
judgment upon Belshazzar's pre
sumptuous sin. Magnificently bold
and direct was the condemnation by
Daniel, the prophet of God. Re
lentless was the immediate judg
ment of physical death (see v. 30),
and equally sure is the ultimate
judgment when the drunken king
stands before his Maker to answer
for the deeds done in the flesh.
The fact that God does not write
in our day in flaming letters on tha
saloon wall before the bleary eyes
of the drinker does not mean that
His judgment is any less certain,
nor does it make it less dreadful.
Cost of Happiness
God has ordained that happiness^
like every other good thing, should
cost us something; He has willed
that it should be a moral achieve
ment, and not an accident.—Dr.
Gasparin.
Walk in the Light
Walk in the light and thou shalt
see thy path, though thorny, bright;
for God, by grace, shall dwell in
thee, and God himself is light.—
Barton.
