neglected a golden opportunity and given signs of wanting to secure whatever bene fits may be gained in the future The KIWRills Club touched on various phases of the TVA situation at its meeting yesterday It Unanimounly favored pledging votes only to candidates and of who will support the necessary legialation to give nooga a free hand in the race for TVA advantages It started a movement to

says that drinking La I mat Lei of individual decision and con-trot and not for mam legislation one can alinost hear the protests of the Antisaloon League About all that may be said In favor of this

friends dropped away hie job waa lost and his money exhausted then strangely enough his regeneration came about For this remarkable occurrence he extends credit to the doe trine of Christian Science So powerful wiui thin will to sobriety that for twelve years he never drank a drop Then comes what sterns to this re-1 viewer one of the most asinine ad MO1100111 in the whole ridiculous book With his

written and spoken about the social gorpel in recent years It in one of those facile phrases which trips lightly off man's tongue Sometimes he may mean everything which the words imply often It le but as ''sounding brass and tinkling cymbals" To Mr Henry Wallace Secretary of Agriculture who is writing a series of twenty-one penetrating articles on "Stateemanehip and Religion" for The News the social gompel comes doge to meaning the gospel of Christ Unfortunately it in a gompel which the churches that bear Christ's name are often all too unfamiliar with Lewin Brown said in his "This Believing World" that religion has been constantly a' battle 'between the prophets who would moralize religion and the priests who would dogmatize mqrals What has happened to the Church through the past 1900 years is the dogmatizing of a simple straightforward code of ethics offered by the Carpenter of Galli lee to govern mane relationehip with he fellow man Property rights lime of money political relationthips social organizations have been given little place in religion despite Christ's great Sermon on the Mount What we have mistaken for religion has been a eyntem of dogma dealing with more or less meaningless discussions over virgin birth Holy Trinity physical resurrection infallibility of Scrip turea and other issues none of which concern themselves with bow man shall really live nor what shall be his attitude toward hie fellows Primitive man hed a more sensible view of religion He did not consider it as a thing apart from his everyday life His gods controlled the weather the croptie success in battle family relations fertility of plant and animal life food drink and health These mattert no longer occupy the same place in our lives There is food and shelter for all if we but knew how to insure it for all The beasts of the forest are tamed and the cavern darkness it no longer peopled with Spirits of evil The winds and the tide no longer beat terror into our souls In the long process of civilization we came to think of religion as a thing to be set aside for special days and to be in the hands of special persons We have hired preachers to be holy for us a nd have put on Sunday manners and Sunday clothen casting both off at the end of the day to enter the knock-down a nd drag-out of everyday life The gospel of today the gospel of which Mr Wallace writes so intelligently needs only to substitute our human needs and problems for the simple wants and the perils of Jungle life to occupy the place in our lives which it once held for primitive man Not until it does will we have that new so cial order for which the prophets of today clamor KERNEL CON I i The National Whirligig (Continued from Page I) creases and the consumer toots the bill Chattanooga Gets EHFA CHA'ITANOOGA is announced today as headquarters of the Electric Home and Farm Appliances the organization created -6: by the Tennessee Valley Authority to socialize and extend the ume ot electricity in the homes of the people This is striking evidence of the interest of the TVA in Chatta1 nooga and of its recognition of the geographical and industrial im portance of this city It was further announced today that the Electrical Division of the TVA will be located in Chattanooga This mean" the centering of all electrical development' of the TVA in this city A staff of engineers and remearch men will be located here The Electrical Home and Farm Appliances organization seeks to put Into the homeR moderately priced electrical machinery which will enable the humble home own er to enjoy the advantage' of elec- tric power In many laundry cooking lighting heating etc The TVA has already conducted negotiation" looking to the furniahing of theme appliances at low cost A method of financing their purcbasing is being arranged All of this great experiment will be conducted with Chattanooga aR the headquarterk Not only will the tine of these appliances make labor in the home cheaper and more satiatying but it will react to bring down the coat of electricity Both public ownership and private ownership factions are agreed on one thing that a more widempread use of electricity will tend to bring the cost of electric current lower for the conmumer The potentialitiem of the EFIFA however are more important than the cursory reader might imagine Already it Is contemplated that if the EHEA aucceeds in electricity and in making its USe widespread in the homes in the Tenneamee Valley the work of the organization may be extended on a national Reale The El-WA experiment may conceivably therefore become more Important in the long run that even the TVA itself In this propomed national extension of the EliFA Chattanooga of course will be the focal point and the advantage to us will not only be commercial it will be of wideopread social importance Chattanooga will become recognized as the center of a movement which seeks to make electricity do cheaply and well the aervices I which the home of the future will require and rif a movement which seeks to bring comfort and modern utility Into the homes of the I humble as well as those of the I well to-do We may become known cc the 1 city where the movement for Fordizing electricity started and was carried to fruition The organizing gentile of David Lilienthal director of the TVA has already been seen in the Eilleit movement Against many I obatables he has nurtured the 1 plan and ham brought it to a sue 1 cesaful launching Him knowledge of Chattanooga'R ntrategic Importance is attested by the fact that he Announces that headquarters for ElIFA will be located in this city The announcement that EHFA headquarters will he located here ia important for reason' other 1 than that Chattanooga will he

his hard-boiled RM tude toward labor It looked like a probable disastrous implications for spreading labor trouble on other the Government stepped in and appointed a committee to look into the merits of the case The committee reported that labor was 90 per cent in the right Thereupon Wuhington ordered a settlement virtually on labor's terms That didn't sit so well with the It management but the Government permitted a glimpse of the club con cealed in its sleeve and the roachdecided discretion was preferable to valor What was this potent club? Simply the threat of official backing fOr the strike which would be called unless the settlement was accepted You can Imagine the effect of that on the labor problems of other railroads It's understood here that many leading rail executives fairly blistered the wires urging to yield for their sake as well as its own Combined Federal and railway pressure did the trick New York insiders say thia le one settlement that's going to stay settled 4 I 2 3 The Bonus Bill is again before Congress with the promise that President Rootievelt will veto the bill If passed In time of peace the money value of war service Is at a low ebb Nobody wants an other war but wars have a habit of happening In spite of whether we want them Or mit Since the bonus controversy will probably drag through every Congress until 1945 when Interest will have eaten up the other half of the adjusted compensation certificates it would seem that the smart thing for the Government to do would be to pay this debt and hold the good will of the discontented veteran element Those veterans who hold that patriotiam Is above price could decline their bonus (they wouldn't do it however) because nobody would force them to take it 'The next time we have a war they ought to put a little notice on the bottom of all enlistment post-era stating that due to past experience soldiers could expect no bonus win or lose This would clear up any misunderstanding However since no warning was issued In the last war the smart thing would be to pay up and call It quits Although known as scrappy the lata John McGraw was only so

large evening and then And a the Battling Nelson With a few chapters on the use he makes of money the book la con eluded About the only thing one can gather from the whole story is that Mr Young used to drink and doesn't any more that he makes money and saves it where formerly he spent It for hard liquor and that he doesn't believe in borrowing and rarely lends money MAC HARRIS If you don't mind getting your de tection all tangled up in I lot Of talk about the ways In which peals of bells are rung In the church steeples of old England you might get a good deal of pleasure out of "The Nine Tailors" by Dorothy Sayers (Harcourt-Brace: 2) Here Is a yarn about a gentleman Who arta tied up in a belfry and murdered In a manner which seems quite Inexplicable but which is undeniably very brutal lord Peter Wimaey the peripatetic free-lance sleuth happens Into the town solves the crime locates certain missing Jewels and helps Miss Sayers elute a very intelligent and properly complicated mystery story Unfortunately It's all bound up with the subject of bell-ringing which seems to be exceedingly eaoterto and Intricate and you're apt to get bogged down in its profundities before you ever get to the murder Rufus King always writes a good straightaway thriller and his newest one 'The Lesser Antilles Case" (Crime Club: 12) is up to standard It tells about a yacht which is wrecked In the West Indies while the owner is killed Lieut Valcour solve the thing by aid of a bit of psychology and a diver's Outfit: and the only trouble is that the solution seems just a wee mite far-fetched Taken all in all however It's not bad reading Then there's "The Case of the Fifth Key" by Gregory Dean (Coyle' Frieda 12) Here we have a rich New Yorker head of a dope ring mysteriously slain In his home The police assemble many clues and get nowhere with them then Inspector Simon the swivel-chair detective studies them carefully and names the murderer without going outside of hia office It's all pretty Ingenious Rand Jr and the Committee for the Nation must be losing their publicity grip Rend's recent appearance before the Souse Interstate Commerce Committee in opposition to the stock market blit suggests at least that Dr William A Wirt's memorandum picturing the brain trust as secretly boring from within to set up a red-fire government with Mr Roosevelt merely a Kerensky to be followed by a Stalin was the -big stuff Mere was the pay-off The opening paragraph of the Wirt opus said: "This manuscript has not been written for publication You are welcome to use any or all of it in any way you see fit" So Rand first read It to a congressional committee then mimeographed it and sent it around to all the newspaper men in Washington complete inside story of how this Government slowly but surely cast a net around Samuel Instill will make dramatic reading one of these days No spider ever displayed nail) infinite patience in weaving a web than did Uncle Sam to snare this partic ular fly It took months to set the trap so there'd be no loopholes One by one the State Department worked on all the nations big and small having no extradition treaties with the United States Where pos sible such treaties were hurriedly negotiated Elsewhere friendly agreements were reached that Insult would not be permitted harbor on the excellent though technical ground that his passport IVIUI invalid Then came the final move after the millionaire fugitive had sailed from Greece in his chartered schooner This was a bill Jammed througn Congress in record-breaking time and Immediately signed by the President It simply increased the authority ot all American consular officers in countries where we have extraterrt torial rights to permit the arrest of fugitives from our Justice Thus the last of those little countries bordering the Mediterranean were made too hot for Insult That stroke of Mr ROOSeVeit's pen on the bill automatically condemned the aged financier to arrest wherever be might be permitted to to exile on the open sea in his dingy schooner This newspiper has attempted to arouse candidates for office to the importance of the TVA in Chattanooga's scheme of things We heartily indorsed Mr Will Chamiee's etreasing of the TVA issue in his race for County Judge We have viewed with a great deal of chagrin the apparent indifference of officialdom in the past several month a toward this all important question There are happily Indications that candidates are alert to this issue There remains a degree of lethargy in some quarters supposed to represent Chattanonga's industrial and civic progress and commissioned to work for our advancement Such forthright action as that taken by the Kiwanie Club will go far toward ending this lethargy W'e have a high respect for the intelligence of the people once that Intelligence has been aroutted The Kiwanis Club criticized the Chamber of Commerce for bringing only one side of the power questinn tn it forum in the son of Mr Henry I Harriman president of the Chamber of Commerce of the United States The club asked that a spokesman for the "public" able also be brought here W'e doubt if such a speaker Is needed We look to the North and see Knoxville enjoying a mild boom basking in the favors of the TVA and making rapid progress We look over at Memphis on the Bluff and see even Mr Crump demanding "a TVA wire in every home in the State" We glance down toward the Shoals and see a network of TVA wires going around Soon we suspect the advantages being secured by our neighboring cities will speak more eloquently than could any orator and will attest the fact that we have neglected our opportunities After all electric light bills are only one phase of the advantages we should secure tenni TVA We want first of all to be in the renter of its sociological experiments Electric power is not the end but Merely the means in the President's great experiment in our valley There are social aspects and In these Chattanooga must share We hope that the City Is awakening at last And we hope that our announcement today that We have been designated as headquarters of ElltrA will intensify that interest We indorse the interest shown by the Kiwanis Club and we believe that the unanimous vote in that club will be an eye-opener in this city It speaks the mind of Chattanooga citizenship 1 1 1 I 1 1 1 1 I I I -4

neither hackneyed nor evasive The best sources rete his speech ten timea more- important than those of the four headlines put together Bear in mind that Morgan partners don't express their personal views publicly they conflict with those of the firm the gist of what Mr Leffingwell had to say and it can be taken as mighty close to the oMcial Morgan viewpoint He approved dollar revaluation and stremed the point that we were "driven off flatly contradicting one of the bound moneyites pet theories (as per Prof Sprague) He talked almost like a member Of the Committee for the Nation about the desirability of a stable wage and price level and how necessary it was to go Off gold to check ruinous price deflation Be believes a return to the old gold standard is impossible and wants to use gold in the future merely as a common denominator for the settlement of international balances (as per Frank Vanderlip) He wants cheap money and broad credit expansion (in line with the Treasury's present plans) Be favors a balanced budget iGov ernment cannot and must not let people starve" His only criticisms of the present system were a mild suggestion that currency and credit control be given back to the Federal Reserve rather than vested In the Treasury and an equally gentle warning against the possible deflationary effects or too drastic permanent WOMB a of Mr Leffingwell's speech might well have been delivered by the President himself In effect it was a public indorsement Of the monetary new dell by the House of Morgan and as such will have an important effect on Weal financial circles

of pure desires and holy putpoaes high aspirations and noble en deavor while theology is what men think about that life what they think about God and man and many other things more or lem remotely related to the religious experiences and life ThA religion is like plant life while theology is like botany Or it is like the earth' while theology is like geology Or again it is like the stars while theology la like astronomy In its essential nature religion is the same always and everywhere changing and differing only in the quality of its perfection and in the degree of its intensity while theology like every true science changes from age to age with the intellectual progress of mankind What difference then does it make If we are compelled to give up tam old theological opinion" and to construct for ourselves new religious ideas? Changing our geology does not destroy the earth Changing our astronomy does not blot out the Mars Likewise changing our theology does not In any way harm our religion Thus we must distinguish between the religion of Jesus and the theology of the early Christian' and between the Christian religion and the traditional Christian theology For thinking people much of that theology has passed away But the religion of Jelin IS SS eternal SS Clod I am pleased to note that Charles Dickens in his "Life of Our Lord" consciously or unconsciously makes this distinction He emphasizes the moral supremacy of Jesus speaking often of His goodness His kindness His gentlenem Its humility and His great sympathy for suffering erring humanity Ho defines the Christian religion not in terms of theology but In terms of life saying: "It is Christianity to do good always even to those who do evil to us It ta Christianity to love our neighbor as ourself and to do to men as we would have them do to us It is Christianity to be gentle merciful and forgiving and to keep them qualities quiet in our own hearts and river make a boast of them or of our prayers or of our love to God but always to show that we love Him by humbly trying to do right in everything JOHN Rowurrr Pastor Shinn Memorial Universalist Church Chattanooga March 36 Chattanooga March 36 Many a man up his chin only to let his tongue wag People usually fall for the popular thing to retain their standing 4 The average American usually swallows hla weight In capsules before he dies The other 1st evening I met the fictionited type of gunman's moll int real life Bhe was arranging with ghost writer for'ber memoirs Turned out glossily by a select school pre else in her tnglish and exploiting all the little graces of refinement she had nevertheless east her lot with a crook a real desperado But mos astonishing was her shamelownew' over the affair averting I met the 1 gunmen's moll in 1 Many an expennive timepiece turns out to be a firettlam atop watch sik The Vietimg Editor The News: In 1913 I happened to be a friendly visitor of the Boston Ansociated Charitlea The thing that struck me was how inescapable is the drinking member of the family among the poor There he had to be in the kitchen terrifying mother and the children But wrose than all wee the drunken mother Nothing disintegrates the home like a woman who drinks To say that drink turns a woman Into an animal is incorrect for no animal abuses and neglects its helplesa off spring as does a drinking mother I recall a hot July crowd of anxious faces around a tenement which was absolutely shut up only the hunger wail of a little baby came from it In vain did the women of the neighborhood knock and beg permiasion to feed the baby The mother was dead to the 'world In drink For thirteen years under prohibition we kept women arrested for intoxication down Rd per cent: practically we stilled those hunger cries of little helplem children ad per cent Now in Boston the number of women arrested for drunkenness has risen 40 per cent under repeal- Boon they will be back to the old volume and pomibly bigger for drink la what It was not In fashion able And the victims?
