Washington Monument
to Be Repair-ad
Preparatory to the general
exterior repair work, which
has been started on the Wash-
ington Monument 600 tons of
steel tubing will be required
for scaffolding. Platforms for
use of the workers will be built
•Vi feet apart throughout the
height of the monument
Worked out by modern en-
gineering methods, the great
weight of scaffolding metal set
np to the full height of the 555
foot monument, will rest on
steel tubes which will be set
together in such a way that not
more than 8V& tons will rest on
any one of the 76 posts which
make up the base of the scaf-
folding structure. Department
of the Interior engineers say.
When the scaffolding
reaches a height of 160 feet
the work of repairing the
structure will begin. The clean-
ing job comes last and will
start from the top and work
downward. It is estimated the
entire job will require 140
days and will cost 8100,000.

THE CHRISTIAN STANDARD OF LIFE
Lesson for October 28th. ,
Ephesians 6:15-21. Golden Text: Ephesians 6:18.
"Do not get drunk with wine” warns Paul in oar Golden
Text. How greatly we need today this advice! The repeal «f
the 18th amendment was hailed as a great forward step to-
ward real temperance, but as everyone now knows, it has not
solved tiie liquor problem. In fact we are now just about
where we were a generation ago when the fight against the
saloon was gathering momentum.
Bootlegging is still flourishing. Joseph H.
Choate, Jr., director at tile Federal Alcohol
Control Administration, reports that two-thirds
of all the liquor now sold in the country is made
in illicit stills. The high tax on iiquor makes
it profitable to make and sell it under cover so
as to avoid the tax. This situation makes im-
perative a determined war on bootleggers by
both federal and state authorities.
The saloon also is back despite the loud as-
surances that it would never return. "And it
is back,” as the New Jersey commissioner of
alcohol control points out, "because the people
want it hack.”
And it is painfully revealing to read newspaper reports in
Chicago and elsewhere telling of an increase in drunken driv-
ing. Insurance statistics reveal that out of the total number of
drivers involved in motor car accidents the first half of this
year, 2.36 per cent were declared intoxicated, as against 1.66
per cent in the corresponding period of 1933, an increase, of 42
per eent.
The problem of course is one of great complexity. We are
m a period of readjustment. What the church and the com-
munity must do is to find the most workable plan of effectively
reducing the consumption of alcoholic beverages. In this
militant crusade we cannot afford to fall.
