Bronchitis SALUSTRI is back,” Man aging Editor Pepper Drislane exclaimed as he clicked down the receiver. Excitedly, Police Chief Lawton had jusk shouted into the telephone, “This guy is looking for blood—don’t take any unnecessary risks.” • In the editorial room of the Hart- field Herald, Drislane sat with his head in his hands and mournfully looked over his city staff—two old men and seven girls. “Thirty years in newspapers and this has to hap pen to me—a chance to make head line history and here I am saddled with a bunch of sob sisters." The Salustri case had been spec tacular from the start. The self- styled big shot of the numbers racket had challenged repeatedly: “There ain’t nobody going to pin a rap on me. This gazabo’s got protection all the way to the state house and back and don’t forget It.” But Jerry Cowan, erstwhile re- portorial star of the Herald, and Managing Editor Drislane chose to forget it to the tune of pinning a 20-year federal sentence on the num bers king. Then the slipup; while waiting for the train that would carry him to prison, Salustri out witted the guards, slugged the mar shal and was on his way. With the news of his escape, Jerry and Drislane knew Salustri would be back. The Herald’s constant and merciless headlines had galled the gangster, bored right into his pride. “Sure, he’ll be back,” the re porter told his editor, "and when he does, he’ll head for our office first.” That was two years ago. Now Jer ry was on assignment in the Pacific. Meanwhile, the managing editor waited. Of course, he was jumpy; who wouldn’t be when each corner might turn into a hail of hot lead? And now the chief of police had passed the word that Salustri had been spotted in Bayside, just 11 miles this side of Hartfleld. The managing editor was dismal ly fingering the last cigarette in his squashed pack when Publisher Jim Geldhorn came into the room. Drislane blinked his eyes and drop ped the cigarette—doggone, if it wasn’t another girl. Attractive and well built, but still another girl. Geldhorn hustled the young wom an over tefan empty desk and hur riedly left. “On a newspaper a girl reporter Isn’t worth the powder it takes to —to camouflage her nose,” Drislane had exploded when the publisher unobtrusively attempted to install the last girl on the city staff. “All I hear these days is ‘I’ve got an appointment with the hair dresser, the dressmaker, the butch er, the baker—These girls have an appoinment with everyone but me and their work,” he ranted. “Is this a newspaper office or a sorority house?” “Chief,” said thin-pated, fiftyish Mike Bales, the paper’s only bache lor, coming up to the managing edi tor’s desk, ‘Tm going to hop down to Nick’s for a shave.” Generally Mike shaved every second day and today was a first. "Darn,” muttered Drislane, ‘‘we’re off again and it’ll take an other three weeks to see who is really queen bee of this hive.” The managing editor’s head was poked under his desk in search of his lost cigarette when a pair of shapely legs approached. “Mr. Drislane,” he heard a fem inine voice say, “I’d like to be as signed to the Salustri case.” Abruptly, a hush fell over the Herald editorial room and light ex pectant reportorial heads poised A WOMAN’S PLACE By JOHN T. CAVANAUGH i over their typewriters as the man aging editor took several seconds to come up from under his desk. In the face of the gathering edi torial clouds, the new girl bravely continued with her request and be gan to fumble with a gold locket which was looped around her neck. “The picture I have from Jerry—” she offered but got no further. The thunder broke loose and Dris lane hissed, his face purple, “On a newspaper, a woman”—he didn’t finish but resignedly collapsed in his chair. With effort he continued feebly, “Miss Whatever-your-name-is, go get a manicure—get a cup of coffeq escape from the United States Mar shal’s office in 1943, was recog nized by the reporter as she walked through the barber shop to the beau ty salon at the rear of the building. Miss Hewes, upon seeing Salustri, continued through the shop and left by a rear exit and soon returned with a squad of police officers. ‘The reporter said that she had identified the gangster through his picture which she had carried in a gold locket given to her by her fiance, Jerry Cowan, formerly po lice reporter on The Herald and now on assignment in the South Pacific. “ ‘Having threatened the life of my fiance, Salustri was a potentia] The managing editor’s head was poked under his desk in search of his lost cigarette when a pair of shapely legs approached. —get anything. But for right now, just get.” As the girl hastily traced Mike Bales’ rapidly retreating footsteps, Drislane sighed, “Even Jerry Cowan away out in the Pacific is getting balmy. On top of all this, imagine his wanting to saddle me with his fiancee, some up-country jane who probably doesn’t know a dateline from a clothesline.”^ Gleefully, he pictured himself setting up ambush for the next time the publisher came in with another girl. After an hour of planting imagin ary booby traps all over the news paper plant, the managing editor had mentally destroyed the pub lisher and all the girls on the staff a dozen times over. Just when he was halfway through his master piece of stuffing Geldhorn and the girls through the news press to be delivered as supplements to the 5 o’clock edition, Mike Bales with a face full of lather tore into the room. “Chief, Chief,” the reporter panted, “they just got him.” “Just got who — when — where?” Drislane roared. “Salustri, at the barber shop,” said Mike, furiously shoving a piece of copy paper into his typewriter. “I’ll have the story written for the last edition in a jiffy.” D OWNSTAIRS the presses were silent and waiting as the man aging editor's pencil poised over the reporter’s scoop. “Nat Salustri, former numbers czar who escaped local police two years ago, today was captured in Nick’s barber and beauty shop on Main Street through the efforts of Miss Loretta Hewes, a member of The Herald’s editorial staff,” the story read. “The gangster, who has hidden from the police since his spectacular threat to my coming marriage, so I carried his picture, knowing that I would run into him some day/ Miss Hewes said. ‘Now that he is captured, I know that I can plan to marry Jerry as soon as he re turns.’ " Speechless, the managing editor scanned the copy. Then, poising his pencil, he added to the message: “ ‘In the meantime, I will continue working at The Herald as police reporter.’ " - W Grace iSjoll Crowell F AITH takes on the look of silver things: A shimmering path at night across the sea, The points of stars, the silver tips of wings, The white, still luminosity Of gabled rooftops when the moon shines down The streets of any town.

Here at last is an intelligently written book for adolescent boys, one of the best of its kind since the immortal Mark Twain penned that perennial favorite, ‘Tom Sawyer.” Tom Briggs is essentially a good boy, but because he takes precious lime away from his daily chores to swim with his chum, Johnny San ders, and because he dreams con stantly of the day when he might be a towboat pilot on the mighty Gasconade river, he is considered lazy and shiftless by his cruel step father and many of the town citi zens. You’ll share Tom’s frustration when, after he works hard to buy himself a small boat so that he can fish to support his family, his step father sells the boat and pockets the money. You’ll share his horror when his hunting rifle goes off acci dentally in the post office and he is accused by Mr. Pugh, the postmas ter, of having deliberately attempt ed to kill him. Despite his many handicaps, Tom proves through sheer perseverance and courage that he is capable of being a towboat captain. The story carries him from the age of 12 when he is in the dream stage, through the age of 21, when he makes his first cruise as a pilot. But long be fore the realization of his ambition, he earns the respect of his neigh bors when he clears Mr. Pugh of a possible murder charge of which only Tom knows he is innocent, thus proving that he holds no malice in his heart for the postmaster who would have sent Tom to a juvenile home when he, too, was wrongly accused of a crime. The book is a joy for those loving tne great outdoors. Mr. Melton, a prominent Missouri newspaper man, knows his subject well and handles it beautifully with the result that there emerges a book full of tears and joy, tenderness and adventure.

SCRIPTURE: Acts 8:26-39. DEVOTIONAL READING: Psalms 67. The Personal Witness Lesson for March 7, 1948 John Pfingsten, Henderson, Ky„ farmer, is pictured with piles of corn harvested from treated and untreated plots. The com in the left pile was gathered from the treated field and had an average ear weight 23 per rent greater than that ol the untreated corn shown at right. given credit for saving the last corn crop in that section. Fields treated with 2,4-D and latei cultivated yielded 86.8 bushels oi corn per acre as against a yield ol 68.68 bushels per acre for a com parable field which had only been cultivated. The fields checked had been sprayed with butyl ester of 2,4-D applied by a low-gallonage method requiring less than a pint of the weed-killer to fiVe gallons of water per acre. The increased yield in fields sprayed was attributed to the greatly lowered weed population. Similar beneficial results can be achieved by hand-hoeing for weed control but the high cost of hand- tioeing makes this method impracti cal in most cases.

Both newly - independent Burma and the Union of South Africa have announced the discovery of exten sive uranium deposits. National Geographic society notes. These lat est finds are further evidence that the atomic-energy ore is much more widely distributed around the globe than popularly believed. Prospecting for uranium lodes Is much simpler than searching for gold. The uranium can be detected easily by a scientific “divining rod.” Radioactive by nature, the mineral literally broadcasts its whereabouts in the ground. Forty years ago Hans Geiger, a German scientist, invented the instrument which hunts out the hidden ore. This New Jersey self-feeder for market pigs also may be used for brood sows that are suckling lit ters. Several different feeds may be supplied in separate compart ments, and the pigs choose the proportions and amounts of each. One of the chief advantages of the self-feeder is the saving in labor effected, providing the feeder is large enough to hold several day’s supply of feed. Lime Sulphur Protects Trees Against Rabbits Undiluted lime sulphur concen trate was the best among 16 repel lents tested at the Oklahoma statior for protecting young fruit trees frorr cottontail rabbits. Rabbits were penned with no food except wetei sprouts of apple. They damaged 94 per cent of the untreated sprouts ir five days, as compared to 41 pei cent of the sprouts painted with lime sulphur. Only 1 per cent of the sprouts were damaged the first day. D R. ALBERT SCHWEITZER, de scribed by Hermann Hagedom as “Prophet in the Wilderness,” is a living example of what Sunday’s les son is undertaking to portray, namely, living for Jesus where you are. Schweitzer, at 72, is described by Hage dom as one who “burns like Francis of Assisi and looks like Josef Stalin.” But to the people of Equatorial Africa, he looks and acts like our saviour Jesus did. The lesson passage is found In Acts 8:26-39, and is the story of Philip, leaving his very successful evangelistic campaign in Samaria to follow the lead of the Holy Spirit into the way that goeth down from Jerusalem unto Gaza, which is des ert. There he found a man in search of God, and through his witness the man was saved. • • • THE STORY OF JESUS T HIS man was not of Philip’s race. He was an Ethiopian. But he was a min. And God loves every man of every race and of every condition of life. Jesus never did meet an unimportant person, nor will any true follower of his. Jesus said, “As the Father has sent Me, iven so send I you,” John 20:21. This man was reading in the Book of Isaiah, where the prophet was foretelling how Jesus would suffer for the sins of the whole world. He could not understand the wonderful words. And the Spirit directed Philip to go and join himself to the eunuch. Philip ran to the chariot in which the rich man rode, asking, “Under- standest thou what thou readest?” He was quick to give his witness. That is the first lesson of the lesson. • • • AND THE MAN LISTENED W HEN we faithfully obey the Holy Spirit, he enables us to effectively witness for Jesus. We cannot be effective witnesses if we rely upon our own wisdom and our own judgment. The boy in your street who does not know Jesus will listen to your story if you go in the same glad obedience to the com mand of the Spirit of God as did Philip. A lad told me this story. He had a neighbor who had never been to Sunday school, and he wanted to enlist this friend. He thought about it seriously. But he was not quite sure of himself. And then he prayed, asking God to direct him. The next day the boy asked him, “What are you doing Sunday morning?” With this opening the lad invited his neighbor to come along with him, and the result was that the little neighbor, of an other race, accepted Christ as his Saviour and is today a regular attendant at church and Sunday school. • • • TO WHOM SHALL WE WITNESS? T HE question now emerges. To whom shall we bear this wit ness? We cannot all go as mission aries, as did Dr. Schweitzer. Most of us must remain at home and carry on the work of our everyday pursuits of life. But every Christian can wit ness. First, to those immediately about us. In every community in our beloved country are people who do not know Jesus Christ as Saviour and Lord. We can witness to them, not to all of them, but to some of them, perhaps to one of them. And I would remind you that if you miss that particular person to whom you may be di rected by the Holy Spirit, he or she may never know about the Saviour’s love. Second, we can share in the send ing of the missionaries to earth’s remotest bounds, through our gifts. I delight to think that I am in part nership with many great men and women on foreign fields, through my gifts and through my prayers. Third, we can witness through personal correspondence with peo ple in other lands. The present far-reaching media of relief for stricken peoples of the world af fords a wonderful opportunity for this very witness. Ask your pastor for the name of some person your age in one of the lands to which your church is sending relief, and write that person a letter, telling of your joy in serving God. The eunuch went on his way re joicing. Why? Because Philip had taught him the way of salvation. He had been used as an effective wit ness in leading a man of another race to experience the peace that passeth all understanding. And Jesus is saying to us today, “So send I you.” • • • (Copyright by the International Council of Religious Education on behalf of 40 Protestant denominations. Released by WNU Features.)
