lADVENTURERS’ -jD CLUB „ ■ *£> < .inn j fer Haiti Uvl/WlXw rOF' W ,|z 77! “Roar of the Blast” By FLOYD GIBBONS Famous Headline Hunter. YOU hear a lot of talk about Hades, boys and girls, but in my opinion, the place is overrated. I’ve seen a few places right here on earth that make the devil’s well-known backyard look like the penthouse on the top floor of Paradise. And this story from James C. Kekes Is about one of them. When Jim was eighteen years old. he took a walk through that Hades and his story of the trip, which he is going to tell us today, makes him a Distinguished Adventurer —a ranking member of our club. Stand by, then, while Jim Kekes, D. A., hands it to you, hot off the griddle. Where is Hades? Well, In October, 1918, It was at Morgan, N. J„ a few miles from South Amboy. Maybe you remember how, in the last days of the World war, a hunk of concentrated Hades broke loose down there and turned the whole neighborhood upside down for a week or more. I mean the time the big munitions works went up. The explosion that shook New York, 20 miles away. Jim Kekes was in that, right from the beginning. He was working in the shell loading plant—had just finished for the day and, with a couple of other fellows, was walking down the hill toward the highway, when suddenly he was thrown to the ground by something that felt like a terrific blow In the back. Explosion Knocks People Down Like Tenpins. The Impact was followed by a thunderous roar and then Jim noticed that the other two fellows had been thrown to the ground too. He knew, then, even before he looked up, that an explosion had occurred tn one of the‘many factories of the plant Before them, smoke was pouring from a factdry near the gate. Mors explosions followed the first—and while the ground rocked around them, all three men were seized with an indescribable fear. The plant was built over a huge area, its several factories being spaced hundreds of yards apart The whole yard was surrounded by a high wire fence and the only gate was the one toward which they were headed. But in order to reach that gate, they had to pass the burning factory In which explosions were occurring at the rate of two a minute. “Well, all became panic-stricken,” Jim says. “We saw guards and overtime workers coming out of the plants and running for their lives In every direction. “My two companions, fearing they would never get through the gate alive, began to run In another direction. Excited, Jim Runs Right Toward Death. “But In my excitement I didn't notice them go and didn't notice that In running toward the gate 1 was also running straight toward the fire. The gate A Hunk of Concentrated Hades Broke Loose. was between two plants—from one of which the explosions were coming, s didn't notice where I was until I found myself right between these two factories." In fact, Jims Kekes didn't realise where he was until he was knocked down explosion that was almost on top of him. He found himself between those two factories just at the moment when the second one caught fire from the first and began to add its din to therturmoil. The ground between those two buildings was like a battlefield. The flames had gotten Into a magazine and shells were flying in every direction—bursting all over the strip of ground on which he lay. “1 lifted myself up," Jim says, “trembling with fear, but determined to make the most of my chance—*l f TOere was a chance at all. Chills were running up and down my spine. The cold sweat bad me. 1 was weak from fright but I pulled myself together and. with all tne. strength In me, I started running for the gate. It seemed as If 1 was being shot at from all directions. Afraid to look around me. I just kept running and running.” Running Through a Rain of Exploding Shells. It was a quarter of a mile to the gate and Jim-sprinted the distance with his eyes half shut—expecting any minute to be struck and killed. Twice In that distance he was knocked down by explosions and each time he thought he had gotten (he death blow at last. But be picked himself up again and staggered on. It took him several minutes to reach the gate but at last he was through it and out on the highway. The rain of exploding shells was almost as bad there as it had been Inside but here he had a chance to jump into some sort of a vehicle and get away. But there weren’t any vehicles there when Jim got to the highway. He started running down the road afoot. He had gone about a hundred yards when he beard something coming behind him and turning, saw a heavy truck speeding In his direction. Jim waved to the driver, but the driver paid no attention to him. He was in just as much of a hurry out of the neighborhood as Jim was. Thon Jim stepped to the center of the .oad. determined to get aboard that truck if he had to jump onto the running board while it was going full speed. The truck was almost on top of him when Jim leaj>e<L Then—crash—Jim missed his hold and landed sprawling In the road.

WHAT OF OUR NATIONAL METABOLISM? By NINA WILCOX PUTNAM

! HERB is an old saw which says that two heads are better than one. Probably the guy who made

T

up that saying was an executioner who had an ax to grind because he got paid by piece-work. But that idea of hls is now old-fash-ioned stuff. Modern civilisation Is not only trending.' It's positively bouncing toward the notion that 60 heads are better than 10, and 1 am not referring to cattle either, at least not the kind of cattle who wear nothing but horns and their own hides. The beads to which 1 have reference are called Experts. They are the bunch who ari» called in to figure out why the other fellows don’t work harder. They are the boys who can tell a chart from a charter and know how to make the head of the concern wish he’d graduated from high school so’s he’d know what they were talking about. AU over the world 1 notice the same thing, la Russia particularly there seems to be an Idea that 40,000.000 beads are better than one, but so far the whole lot don’t seem to have been able to think up a single constructive idea. And don't let Hitler or Mussolini fool you either. They may act like one head Is better than two, but if you look between the balance sheet and the blanket policy you'll find an army ot boys with charts that show everything from the average yardage of spaghetti to the relative decrease in dogs and Increase In frankfurters. In France they still do things by ear. and none of them have learned to keep their bands still long enough to take a National Metabolism. And If they ever did get their heads togetherJn a real business conference it would-pi-ob-ably take years to untangle the beards afterwards. In the Tight Little Isle (why does England call itself that when they are only allowed to drink a couple of hours a day?). Well, anyways, in England they’ve been running the country pretty'Successfully on the principle that one bead was perfectly satisfactory so long as the crown on It was handsome enough to attract attention. But they have always been great on reports. and chart*. Charterhouse is one of tbelr swanky schools and from tbe way things are shaping up in America I think one of the graduates must have sneaked on board the Mayflower. At any rate we’ve developed an epidemic of running things by groups over here which makes the Great Jigsaw Puzzle Plague of ’33 pale by comparison. The infamous puzzle makers are hiding tbelr heads In shame before tbe onslaught of these new puzzle maker*, because, after all. someone did occasionally solve a Jigsaw. But when some one shows you a pin-checked piece of patter across which a drunken ben has apparently walked after stepping In tbe ink. and says proudly, “There, you can see for yourself!” Well, that’s something else again, but I’m not just sure what Os course It's probably the modern method of explaining everything and very much all right But when 1 was a girl, drawing jiggly lines oa scrap* of pa|»er was confined to inmates of the Goofy Coop; or they were confined because of drawing jiggly lines. Well, whichever way it was, the lines have apparently escaped and one of them is zigzagging up and down all, over the country. Even your doctor has ’em. You go to consult him about your bill, which is probably tbe thing which Is paining you most at tbe mordent, but before you can open your mouth be opens It for you. sticks the end of a fire-hose in. puts a clothes pin on your nose and at the end of 10 minutes pulls a pirn checked paper out of a cylinder with Jiggly lines shooting up and down it and exclaims triumphantly, “There, 1 told you it was the pink-eye! You can see for yourself 1“ And I don’t dispute him for the same reason that the Chinaman’s laundry list never checks with mine. Qf course department stores have been going for this charting and surveying in a big way and over a long period, not realizing that a period is really a full stop. Indeed, no department store is complete without the de uartment tbat makes up its secret

cross-bow puzzles which, when and If worked out. show for instance, that 10 pairs of men’s pants divided by half practically equals getting at the seat of things. But the best example of this new game of a group telling the Individual how to run his business and proving it by seratching-as-scratch-can. is the Administration. This charting has even crept into relief work and if anybody thinks that a form of relief, they’re crazy. Not that 1 want to make myself personae au gratin with the government any more than I am already over my income tax, but*l can't help noticing when an Investigation Bored Unearths the fact that some guys on the relief rolls or who had been rolling the relief or something, had put in a lot of time making a survey of exactly where there was no electric lighting in Sumatra in 1426. Sort of “King of AU the Surveys" stuff, eh what? At that these charts might have their useful side. For example, the next time one of my creditors writes and asks me why I haven’t paid my bill, 1 might get a pad of that sportsgoods paper, and taking my pen between my toes to insure unsteadiness make up a chart and send It to him with the remark “You can see for yourself.” Also in writing the kind of letter in which you discuss the weather we are having, a chart of this popular kind would save describing the lightning. The one who recelveu it would undoubtedly supply the thunder. Torn Into small strips and moistened, these efficiency charts are very efficient for sweeping dust out of oriental rugs. * And when It comes to Bring the cook, a’chart of your digestion showing high and low points of agony and pinned above the stove, will usually do the trick. All cooks think that anything they can’t understand Is an insult. Personally I am a bit quaint In my Ideas. The only time I think two heads are better than one is when a kiss is Involved, and no charts are needed to promote efficiency. And In my humble —pshaw. 1 don’t really mean that—in my darned cocksure opinion, the way to better business conditions and haul back that coy old girl, Prosperity, is to quit smothering individual Initiative with central committees. long-distance governing boards, brain trusters and groups of fancy theorists, and allow good old John Workman to do his stuff. The best thing a group can arrive at is a compromise. While individuals not infrequently bare Ideas. And work them out. too. provided the tittering titmice don’t crowd around too close. Practically every big man and im portant woman in this country got where they are by doing something the experts said couldn’t be done. The weak crowd in herds, the strong stand alone. And the strength of any country including the Scandinavian, is the power and gifts of those leaders who bare worked out their own salvation, on the principle that man is what he makes himself, not what somebody else tells him be ought to be.

JUNIOR TOPIC—Team-Work. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC—Team-Work. i YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC — Co-operation in Religious Work. I. Nehemlah’s Mission to Jerusalem (Neh. 2). While performing hls official duty as cupbearer to the Persian king. Nehemiah learned of the distress of hls brethren at Jerusalem. The walls of the city were broken down. Its gates burnt, and the remnant of the captives were In great affliction and reproach. This news greatly moved him. He definitely asked God to give the king a favorable attitude toward his project. In answer to hls prayer he was granted a leave of absence from the Persian court and credentials from the king. He journed to Jerusalem and made a survey of the city by night without disclosing his purpose to anyone. Having thus obtained first-hand Information, he called the representatives of the Jews together and said, “Let us build the walls of Jerusalem.” After he thus made known the hand of God in bringing him to Jerusalem, he revealed the authority vested in him to rebuild the walls. 11. Preparation for the Building (Neh. 3). J The division of labor In this project displayed Nehemlah’s administrative ability. A wise distribution of labor makes difficult tasks easy. Observe some outstanding features of his administrative work. 1. He laid stress upon Indifference. In administrative tasks it is proper that unfaithfulness should be pointed out. Such action serves as a warning to the unfaithful and encouragement to the faithful. 2. Help rendered by the women (v. 12). It Is a fine thing for the women to take hold even in building a wall when there are no men to do it. 3. Stress laid upon earnestness of some (v. 20). Recognition of fidelity will spur one on to. faithful performance of hls task. 1 4. Every one built over against bis own house (vv. 10, 23. 28). There is no Incentive for exertion quite so strong as that which concerns a man s own family. 5. Certain guilds of men undertook certain work (vv. 8, 31, 32). Wise ad- ‘ ministration sometimes calls for such alignment of efforts. Men of the same class and occupation usually work best together. 111. Hindrance* Encountered (4:16:14). 1. Scoffing of Sanballat and Tobiah (4:1-6; cf. 2:19, 20). The oppressors of God's servants frequently begin by hurling shafts of ridicule at them. They called the Jews but a feeble folk and asserted that the tread of a prowling fox would break down their stone wall. 2. Conspiracy for a sudden attack (4:7-0). When the saw that the work was actually succeeding, they changed from ridicule to an attempt to throw the workmen into a panic. When the enemy cannot succeed by scoffing, he resorts to intimidation. 3. Conspiracy with the Jews (4:10-. 23). They sought, by means of the Jews from the outside, to discourage those on the inside, saying that the task was hopeless and that at anytime they were subject to a sudden and secret attack. 4. Greed and oppression of the rich (5:1-13). The Jews of that day, like the profiteer* of our day, took advantage of the poor and oppressed them so that they mortgaged their land and even sold their daughters into slavery. 5. Scheme to take Nebemlab's life (6:1-14). When Sanbailat and Tobiah failed In every other way. they craftily sought to get Nehemiah away that they might kill him. IV. The Wall Completed (6:15-7:4). So energetically did they pursue their tasks that in fifty-two days the wall was completed. When their enemies saw that In spite of all their schemes the work was actually completed. they were cast down, for they perceived that the work was of God. Upon the completion of the work. Nehemiah set his brother to rule over Jerusalem and gave instructions as to the opening and closing of the gates of the city. May we learn from this : L That though God’* children are besought by enemies they should not fear. 2. When beset by enemies we should pray (4:9). a. They wfcg* watch (4:9). b. Men were permitted to be with their families (4:13) amf* would thus fight better. e. Half worked and half watched, ail armed for battle. d. They worked with sword in one hand (4 e. They slepi ready for attack (4:23). Genuine faith is always accompanied with precautionary means. Prejudices Every one is forward to complain of the prejudices tbat mislead other men and parties, as !* he were free, and had none of his own. What now Is tne cure? No other but thia, that every man should let, alone others’ preju dices and examine his own.—Locke.

PEOPLE FEAR THE THINGS THEY DO NOT under stand The beautiful voice of a famous opera singer issuing forth la song caused a panic on board a ship! Seriously—that is the content of a news dispatch from off the coast of Australia where an American ship carrying explorers was recently anchored. The voice of the singer came through a gramophone, and the audience among whom It caused a panic was composed of natives, who ran in terror from something that they did not understand. It may seem Incomprehensible to us that a beautiful voice should instill dislike or fear. Whatever the language of the song, you may say. is not beautiful singing beautiful to ail who can heari-as the trilling of a bird must sound the same to men of any color and any language? But the beauty of the voice Is obscured by the fact that its source is something the natives do not understand. For that reason It is an object of suspicion—and of fear. If we stop to think about it. it.will surprise many of us to realize how much we have in common with those Australian natives tn that we frequently refuse to see beauty tn the things we do not understand. We too are suspicious and fearful of things we do not know. .Most of the world's bigotry and prejudice springs from Ignorance. And many of us. if we but realized It, create a spectacle no less foolish and unreasonable than those natives In panic over a beautiful voice issuing from a gramophone when we condemn without investigation, when we turn without consideration from things which are new. things which are different, ways to which we are not accustomed. © Bell Syndicate.—WNU Service, Joy of Life Comes With Consciousness of Doing The real joy ot life has little to do with comfort; it comes from the consciousness of strength to suffer and bear and achieve; It conies from the consciousness that one is doing a man's work and earning a man’s wages in the world.
