Tribute was paid the boy Lincoln at Rockport today when four buildings constructed by the works progress administration workers in the Lincoln pioneer village were dedicated to climax the Lincoln county summer festival. The festival opened June 50 and | ended today. Services in the Pigeon Creel; Baptist church opened the week’s activities which included a nomeeoming celebration, touts of historic shrines in the county. Kiwanis Day .dedication of a granite marker donated by Louis F. Weiss, former mayor of Rockport. and presentation of a pldy, “Lincoln’s First Sorrow.” The play depicted the death of N tncy Hanks Lincoln. A fireplace like that before which Lincoln as a boy sat on long winter nights, reading Scott’s elocution book, and memorizing quotations ftom Shakespeare, has been placed in a new cabin. This cabin will be a reproduction of the last home of the Lincolns in Spencer county. As a permanent Lincoln shrine, a village gradually is being built up in a park in Rorkport, containing authentic reproductions of some of Spencer county’s buildings »t the time the Lincoln family lived there. First opened to the public last July 4, with eleven buildings constructed i by relief workers, the village gradually is being expanded. During the I past year four buildings and a lake | have been added.

CHAPTER III O EVEHAL days later the head of ^ Haverstock's trnffle department discovered on his desk a letter containing a gilt-edged correspondence card which read: “Dear Lieutenant Knox: “I am having a barbecue out at my ranch Saturday afternoon—4 o’clock. You simply must come!—Dodle Sloan." Ho started to consign It to the waste basket when Steve Bagtlctt, a reporter on tho Haverstock Globe, snatched It from him. “Oh—ho!” Jeered the lanky youth. “Are you getting high hat!” Then, as Knox made a gesture of annoyance and grabbed for the card, be added: “Listen, you sap—you can’t alford to pass up an invitation like this.” ’Tve got no business getting mixed up with a crowd like t hat— We don't talk tho same language," grunted Knox as he picked up another letter. “Horse featben,” was the unsympathetic response. "All work and no

play makes Knox a pain In the neck,"

alS

As his friend growled sarcastically Steve sneaked over to the telephone and dialed a number. "Hello—Is this Mrs Archibald Sloan’s residence?” ho demanded a moment later. “I’m speaking for Lieut James Knox. Tell Mrs. Sloan that blent. Knox will be delighted to be there Saturday.” “Give me that phone!” Knox rose from his desk and made a grab for it but Steve held It out of his way and calmly hung up the receiver. "I'm glad to see you’re getting ■ome sense about aeeeptlng Important Invitations," he grinned as he

dodged out of the room.

Knox v.« nt fo bis doom the following Saturday in a police car driven by an outwardly ympathetic traffic cop named R.m Maloney. They two were Jogging down the road and wondering what they would talk about at the barbecue when the lieutenant caught sight of Betty Winslow's roadster stalled in a ditch. "Need any help?" he inquired as the police car pulled up alongside. "What seems to be the matter?” •’Nothing.” * billed the girl as ahe tried to wipe the grease off her bauds, “except it won’t run.”

Knox climbed out and peered under the lifted hood of her machine. “Got plenty of gas?" he inquired. "Tank's full,” she mimicked him. “There is also plenty of air in the tires, professor, and the Inner tubes have just been examined.” “Maybe it’s the Ignition,” he hesitated. “What did it sound like when it stopped?” "Sort of as though It had swallowed a banana the wrong way,” the girl answered reflectively At that moment a car rushed by going about fifty-five and flinging gravel in all directions. It just

"Y’ou, too?” "Of course!” lie laughed. "Get In. Well go togetlxi. Wait till Dodlt sees us walk In arm In arm—shell drop dead!” Tho oar ran nicely for a few miles but tho road goi steadily worse and finally Jolted the makeshift connection loose. They stopped once more. "Another hairpin, please," Knox demanded ns he climbed out. "No more hairpins.” Betty answered sadly after much fumbling. “They are almost as extinct as tho Dodo, you know.'' “Then we’re tuck,” he groaned.

Extensive research by the Spencer County Historical Society and George Honig, sculptor and designer of the village, are believed to have resulted in fairly accui.ite reproductions. The last Indiana home of the Lincolns, for example, lias a bed built into the logs in the side walls, a unique feature of the eat Her pioneer homes. A barter an i market house where pioneers exchanged their wares, has been built and equipped with skins, tobacco and other merchandise popular in Lincoln's day. Old newspapers in the county, dating from 1823, mention there trading marts. The last of the new buildings is the home of Daniel Grass the founder of Rockpotl a two-sto-y structure containing five rooms. A three-acre lake, built outside the stockade which surrounds the Lincoln pioneer village, will provide recreational ami beautification facilities. For the pioneer atmosphere, a corn-cracker r- ill has been constructed along side the lake. There is also an island in the center. Pageants, depicting Line In's flatbnating trips and other similar incidents of his life, are planned here. To lend atmosphere to the dedicatory program members of the County Historical Society donned pioneer costumes and occupied the buildings in the village Stores were opened, school sessions held, butter was churned, spinning wheels flew and the entire village hummed with ac-

tivity.

More than 20,000 people have visited the Lincoln village since it was opened to the public a year ago. Its register contains names of all races and nationaliti s. Buildings constructed include John Pitcher’s law office, where Lincoln came to borrow books; the Jones store, where D worked; the Gentry mansion, the Azel Dorsey home, a pioneer school, a poineer church. Brown’s Inn, the Gribsby home, a block house and two typical pioneer cabins. Added to the pioneer atmosphere of the village are the garden, hitch-rack, covered wagon, wells with sweep ml windlass and an ash hopper, such as pioneers used tor making soap.

Club women study this and that Literature one year, travel the next and modern women the third. This is good and takes tneir mind at least temporarily off the depredations of the neighbor’s pet dog, and the complete lack of appeal of the neighbor’s children. But the ordinary club program lacks a continuity even for one year sometimes Our minds—if any are snatched violently here and there. It is dizzying. But to have the old intellect shunted around is better than letting it sit still and nave poison ivy growing over it.

But this other program for women. It is under the church. The church is sometimes accused of having no program for anyone. It is rot de-

nominational.

Interdenominational movements come out at times and are hailed as quite modern and unusual. This vast study program has been going on aimong the sects for years. The For some thirty or thirty-five j years, women all over this country have been studying, earn year, a book on some foreign land. It is a big program, the most ambitious and consistent program that women have ever undertaken. There has been no band music, no waving of banners and no advertising. The women who have done this have been interested (th.ro are exbooks studied have not been literature, maybe.

brushed (he fenders of the police car. "Shall I set him'.’'' yelled Dan. “Go ahead,” growled Knox. "He’s got it coming to him.” Then he bent over the stalled engine once more. “Got a hairpin?” he inquired at last. “A wire from the coil’s broken.” “I didn't know you were an expert with hairpins, too, Lieutenant,” laughed Betty as she fumbled about in her hair and finally located the required article. Then ehe watched admiringly as he made a very makeshift connection between the broken wires. “All fixed?” she asked at last. “I don’t know,” lie answered dubiously. "Get in and see if it starts.” The motor came to life with a roar, but Betty did not put the car in gear. “What about you?” she Inquired. “Your triend seems to have run out on you." “He’ll be back sometime or other.” Knox wiped ills hands and lit a cigarette. ‘Tin in no burry.” "A coroner’s inquest, no doubt,” she teased. “Almost as bad—a barbecue!" "Not Dodie Sloan’s?” Her eyes widened with astonishment.

"Can’t you tie the ends of the wire together or something?” “They aren't long enough. I can just about make them touch.” "Couldn’t you hold them together while 1 drive?” “Well—1 could try ” Be laid himself awkwardly upon the fender. This arrangement worked for a little while until a particularly bad bump in tlie road bounced Knox off ins perch. Worse than that, he yanked out tho entire coil in trying to keep from falling. “Very graceful, Mr. Knox,” Betty exploded ns she watched him pick him elf up. “Now what do we do.” “1 never wanted to go to tills barbeette in the first place,” he snarled as he dusted himself oS. "If we get there now we'll walk." “Lovely country to walk in.” Betty climbed out of tho car. “Y’es." The lieutenant looked around upon one of the bleakest landscapes he had seen in months. "I don't know what else you could do with it. Come on.” (lo *<. ceatiiittedJ

balanced sentences, punctuation and coherence. Both are written by someone who knows, about some thing he knows.

No woman can remain narrow, smug, and self-satisfied who knows how women in other iands are oppressed. No woman can rock her own sweet, healthy babv in peace who knows some other loving mother is fighting in ignorance, fighting with death over the body of her illnourished child.

and mighty disagreeable they are, too who didn’t know there was any way hut her way This same charaoteristic pervades the white man when dealing with other races. If a man is different, he is wrong.

Slowly, but surely, the truth is emerging that the various governments, the missionaries, and the natives all desire the same thing for the African that is that he shall attain and hold the highest possible form of life for himself.

Basil Mathews with an awakened soul, asks us calmly and sanely to "consider Africa.” No one on this side of the Atlantic ever does. Ameiica may have a good deal to be ashamed of, but at least she did not cry ‘Gimme!” and grab a chunk of Africa, when grabbing was the order of the day. America’s part consisted in helping found Africa’s only free state. The only one left since Italy's final clutch.

Some day America may wake up to the fact that one group can not prosper unless all groups prosper That the government, the church and the individual desire the same thing for every man.

That tiling is a full life, warns against “creating and calling it peace.”
