N EW YORK.—About 15 years ago
a British officer was killed in
Egypt and Sir Archibald Clark Kerr
got mighty tough with Egyptian offi-
. cialdom. Too
Gets Tobacco, Not tough! Salv _
Ultimatums, From ing hurt feel-
Stalin, to Smoke j n 8 s - London
had to pre->
tend to take Sir Archibald down a
peg. He was withdrawn from the
main current of British diplomacy
and set to drift in South American
backwaters. The spanked boy came
back after a time unabashed and
with a Chilean wife, Maria Teresa
Diaz Salas. It was a late marriage.
Sir Archibald is 60 years old now.
But along with his admitted tough
ness it has helped keep him out in
front ever since.
Pulling these days on the in
creasingly tangled problem of
Russo - British relations, Sir
Archibald Clark Kerr has one
great asset. He is more friendly
with Stalin than any British am
bassador before him. Kremlin
Joe sends him good Russian to
bacco where previous plenipo
tentiaries got semi-ultimatums
to put in their pipes and smoke.
The Ambassador was educated
privately, but his sheltered start
doesn’t seem to have handicapped
him. He got into the diplomatic
service 35 years ago and has repre
sented Britain in Sweden/ Irak,
Egypt, Morocco and, as noted, in
South America, taking time out for
a stretch with the Scots Guards
back in 1918. Before he went to
Russia he had the China assign
ment, where he said a good word for
this country off and on because he
is a notable friend of the United
States.
That All May Fly
With Ease, Safety,
Dr. Dryden Labors
TIT'HEN men like Dr. Huge L.
’ ’ Dryden talk of a near future in
which any man may fly through the
air with the greatest of ease and
only a rock
ing chair
risk, they
turn the
fancies of
“Looking Backward” into facts, just
about. The doctor, speaking from
the eminence of the presidency of
the Institute of Aeronautical Sci
ences, argues that even now the saf
est way to make a long journey is
by air.
, He speaks with nearly youthful
enthusiasm. He is only 43, a smooth
faced thinker whose forehead tapers,
whose chin comes to a point; a man
his friends can call a pleasant-look-
ing egg and mean it two ways.
Pocomoke City, off the salty
Chesapeake, would get into print
seldom if he hadn’t been born
there, and he adds luster even
to Johns Hopkins university
which gave him a PH. D. He
is a Marylander who knew ear
ly what he wanted. Before he
finished his schooling he had
hired out to the Federal Bureau
of Standards and he has been
with it ever since. He can un
ravel the snarls of aerodynam
ics and hydrodynamics into sim
ple speed and performance al
most before Boeing can set up
a production line.
V/henever he hasn’t anything bet
ter to do he builds another wind tun
nel, because he always has a few
new notions to try out. Wind
tunnels, he says, save life, time and
cash for any man trying to build the
foolproof airplane of the future. It
was wind tunnel experiments which
earned him the Reed award for re
search in aeronautics three years
back.
]~)R. OTTO GEORG THIERACK
doesn’t exactly say with the
great Louis of France that he is the
He’s Legal (Often ^ Ut ^
Lethal) Minuteman primed to
For Herr Hitler din g «P any
needed stat
ute that isn’t already on the Reich’s
books. At this time he warns, in
Cologne, that justice must knuckle
down before the policy of the state.
His status he had declared
earlier when he said, “Every
Reich judge may call on me when
he feels compelled to render a
decision not compatible with
real life. I shall then provide
him with the law he needs.”
Write <me on the spot, if neces-
. »ary.
For six months now Thierack
has been Nazi minister for jus
tice. He has the power of life
and death and the concentra
tion camp. No one may appeal
his decisions. Only Hitler may
revoke them.
Dresden, in placid Saxony, is his
birthplace. He must have distilled a
queer elixir from the town’s china
and chocolates, cigarettes and post
cards, to become the man he is.
Some 20 years ago he was the
minister of justice just for the Duchy
of Saxony. But that was before he
caught onto the Hitler bandwagon.
Some time later, and this was in
the Nazi era, he was picked to be
vice-minister of the supreme court
at Leipzig. Then he began to train
directly for his present post. It was
not long before he was appointed
president of the People’s court. This
court tried cases involving offenses
committed against the state. And
there was no appeal from its ver
dicts, either. The sessions were al
ways held in utmost secrecy.

A YEAR AGO
A year ago we talked about the
Yanks—
The Dodgers and the Cards—just
heading south.
(We’d never known the taste of blaz
ing tanks
Or what can happen from a can
non’s mouth.)
We wondered what DiMaggio would
hit,
Ted Williams—Johnny Mize—you
know the thrills
That come from camps, from plate
to pitching pit,
As spring comes stumbling in
across the hills.
A year ago—how far away that
seems—
How far away—how long—how
long ago—
As diving bombers blast away our
dreams.
And shell fire wrecks the world we
used to know.
But day and night, each great crash
seems to sing—
“Some day—old kid—there’ll be
another spring.”
The Phillies That Were
yjl^HAT a break it would be for
v * Bill Cox, the new owner of the
Phillies, if he could only dig up again
some “Phillies that used to be.”
How many remember that Napo
leon Lajoie and Ed Delehanty, the
two great hitters of
their day, were on
the Phillies togeth
er around 1902?
To mention only a
few others—Grover
Alexander, Bill Kil-
lefer, Red Doom,
Beauty Bancroft,
Bucky Walters, Kir
by Higby, Claude
Passeau, Dolph Ca-
milli. Sherry Ma
gee, Dick Bartell,
Spud Davis, Chuck
Klein, these and many others.
The Phillies have had enough good
ballplayers to win several pennants.
But most of these stars were sold as
the old Phillies became one of the
main farming systems for the Na
tional league.
Their stars helped to win pennants
for Giants, Cubs, Reds and Dodgers.
These Philly stars were largely re
sponsible for at least ten pennants,
all flown far away from the ma
jestic .metropolis of the late Benja
min Franklin and William Penn.
Owner Cox says he intends to kill
this selling traffic completely, re
building through an aggressive poli
cy that will take both capital and a
smart scouting system. Not forget
ting a hustling manager.
Delehanty and Lajoie
To show how far baseball salaries
have advanced, you need only to
look back to Napoleon Lajoie and
Ed Delehanty.
Around 1903, this pair were the
greatest hitters of their time. Both
were in the .400 bracket, and both
were also sluggers. Delehanty still
holds the all-time record with Bobby
Lowe, when he hit for 17 bases in
a game—four home runs and a sin
gle. Lou Gehrig almost wrecked
them both when he had four home
runs in Philadelphia—and a mighty
wallop that came close to being a
fifth home nan—or at least a three-
base hit—in his fifth time at bat.
That year Delehanty asked for
$3,000 a year and Lajoie for $2,500.
The Phillies gave Delehanty his
$3,000, but Lajoie was turned down
on his $2,500 offer.
So Larry promptly jumped to
Cleveland in tho American league,
where Charlie Somers offered him
$8,000.
This started an inter-league and a
legal war. Lajoie was barred from
playing in Pennsylvania, which
meant Philadelphia.
He slipped through Pennsylvania
once where, according to Charlie
Dryden, he traveled on a fruit
steamer disguised as a bunch of ba
nanas.
Anyway, Philadelphia lost one of
the greatest ball players of all time
— Napoleon Lajoie — because the
Phillies wouldn’t give him $2,500 a
year.
The New Phillies
The Phillies for 40 years have
pulled more boners than all other
clubs thrown together.
They have set a world’s record for
inefficiency in one of the best sport
ing cities this country knows.
Philadelphia is one of our top
sporting centers—baseball, football,
boxing or the rest of it.
But certainly, as far as the Phil
lies are concerned, Philadelphia has
run into a horrible deal.
Philadelphia has known more tail
enders, even including the Athletics,
than any two cities I happen to re
member. !
But Connie has won ten pennants.
The Phillies have won one.
Philadelphia has too fine a sport
ing tradition to be known as the Sub
way Capitol or the Cellar Kingdom.
If Bill Cox can only prove that he
is out to give Philadelphia the best
team available, an improving ball
club, he will set one of the all-time
records.
The Phillies have a long way to
go. Just average methods won’t help.

chool Lesson
By HAROLD L. LUNDQUIST. D. D.
Of The Moody Bible Institute of Chicago.
(Released by Western Newspaper Union.)
Lesson for March 28
Lesson subjects and Scripture texts se
lected and copyrighted by International
Council of Religious Education; used by
permission.
THE APPEARANCES AFTER THE
RESURRECTION
LESSON TEXT—John 20:19-31.
GOLDEN TEXT—I am alive for ever
more.—Revelation 1:18.
The most important day in all his
tory was the first day of the week
following the crucifixion of Christ.
Then He appeared to His disciples
as their risen Lord. All the hope oi
all mankind for all eternity depend
ed on His victory over death.
By eventide news had come to the
disciples of His resurrection, and
half in hope and half in uncertainty
they had gathered to talk over these
matters. Fearful of the Jews, they
met behind closed doors. All at
once He was there—the Lord Him
self. What a wonderful change came
over them as He made Himself
known to them. They went
I. From Fear to Gladness (w.
19, 20).
Their eyes had been upon their
enemies and they were afraid. Now
they “were glad, when they saw
the Lord.” We need to learn that
lesson. If we look within we are
ashamed and discouraged- If we
look around us we are confused and
fearful. If we look to Christ we
are glad and strong.
Notice that their joy was not based
only on an emotional impulse. They
saw Christ in His resurrection
body—the very One who had died.
The evidence was there before them.
Now they could understand the
things He had raid to them. The
whole realm of spiritual trufh was
now in focus again, and they were
glad. So are we when we really see
Christ.
II. From Weakness to Strength
(w. 21-23).
The disciples who were called to
be witnesses for Christ had lost their
testimony when He died on the cross.
Unbelief and' discouragement had so
weakened them that they were in
hiding instead of being out proclaim
ing His truth.
Now the risen and victorious One
sent them forth with the Father’s
blessing. They were empowered by
the Holy Spirit, and given great au
thority (v. 23). Note that it was
given not to one man or to the lead
ers, but to all the disciples. It was
“a declarative right, and it belongs
to every true disciple. Those who
have received the gif* of the Holy
Spirit are in a position to declare
to men that their sincere repentance
brings forgiveness” (Douglass). The
opposite is also true.
Ilk. From Doubt to Faith (vv. 24-
28).
Thomas, who had doubts and who
cultivatui them by his stubborn at
titude (v 25), did himself and his
brethren a serious disservice by be
ing absent from the meeting on the
evening of the first Easter Day.
When he crfd appear he had only
doubts to contribute. Let those who
make a custom of absenting them
selves from tha place and hour of
service beware lest they do like
wise.
His doubts were honest ones—and
God always meets such questions,
honestly and intelligently. When the
evidence was before him, the heart
of Thomas leaped the chasm from
doubt to faith in one cry of com
plete devotion (v. 28).
It is significant that down through
the ages many doubters have been
won to Christ by the proof of
the resurrection of Christ, which is
by the testimony of historical schol
ars “the best authenticated fact in
all history.” The risen Christ stands
before men today and says, “He not
faithless but believing.” May many
respond with Thomas, “My Lord
and my God.”
IV. From Death to Life (vv. 29-
31).
Christ arose from the dead not
just to show that He had power to
do so, but, as Paul puts it, “for
our justification” (Rom. 4:25). The
reality and dependability of the en
tire plan of salvation hinged on the
return of Christ from the dead.
Had the grave held Him, His claims
of deity and of the ability to for
give sin would have been entirely
discredited. Because He lives we
shall live.
The experience of regeneration is
therefore likened in Scripture to a
passing from death to life (John
5:24). Thomas saw the Lord, and
believing, passed from doubt to
faith. We cannot see Him now, but
we have the blessed privilege of be
lieving and thus receiving life (w.
29, 31).
This was the mssage which the
now radiant and empowered disci
ples went out to preach. The book
of Acts tells us how effectively they
did it, and shows how much of their
preaching centered on the fact of
the resurrection.
The Command and the commis
sion was not to them alone, but
also to all of us who believe in
Christ. May God take out of us the
fear of men, overcome our weak
ness, and send us out with renewed
faith to make this life-giving mes
sage known to our fellow men.

Then, press the sponge on the

In this way you transfer the pat
