TROUBLES .... Everywhere
One of the very few things
upon which practically every-
body agrees is that there is
something wrong with the
world. That is nothing new
in human history. We are more
keenly aware of the world’s
troubles today than our fa-
thers were because we read
and hear about them. Interna-
tional strife, internal struggles
in every land for control of
governments, economic wel-
fare of a hundred kinds, social
security, class hatreds, general
disrespect for law and order
—make your own list of the
world’s troubles.
Up to that point you’lt find
most folks agreeing with you.
The disagreement begins when
you start discusring the causes
of the unhappy state of human
affairs, and the appropriate
remedies. Not more than a
handful of people ever agree
on what has got us into the
present mess, and what ought
to be done about it
Countless remedies are pro-
posed, all different
HOPE.....Gropmg
Not in a long lifetime have
I seen so many different kinds
of people in every walk of life
so keenly concerned about the
unhappy state of human af-
fairs. Never have I seen and
heard of so many earnest, well-
intentioned persons and
groups devoting their lives
and their fortunes to efforts to
bring humanity back to peace
—peace between nations,
peace between warring ele-
ments inside of national
boundaries.
That much of this energy is
misdirected, that the remedies
proposed cannot all be effec-
tive, and that some of these at-
tempts to reconcile peoples
with peoples and to solve the
unsolved riddle of social jus-
tice are likely to have the con-
trary effect, does not lessen my
hope of a better world than
we have ever lived ia. Rather,
the very fact that great multi-
tudes are seeking the answer
gives me renewed faith that
out of all the groping will
come the discovery of the
way.
MORALS.....Crux
I read and hear a great and
growing volume of expressions
by thinking men, leaders in
political and industrial fields,
leaders and thinkers among
workers, philosophers, stu
dents of social problems and
ordinary people like you and
me, all saying the same thing
in different words. The thing
they say is that the present
crisis is a moral crisis, and that
it can be solved only by appli-
cation of moral principles to
the world's problems.
Disagreement begins when
people- ask for the definition
of "morals.” A course of con-
duct or line of action which
seems entirely moral to one
man may appear to others
quite immoral. Yet the essen-
tials of morality have been
preached and taught for thou-
sands of years by great spiri-
tual leaden, all of whom the
world respects and one of
whom the Christian world be-
lieves to have been the very in-
carnation of God.
The reason Why the well-
known and easily grasped
principles of morality have
been applied in human affairs
is that they are hard medicine
for men to take who are ambi-
tious for power, for glory, for
wealth, for worldly security or
REVOLUTION . . Spiritual
I think everybody will agree
that if everybody were honest,
none was selfish, all led pure
lives and literally loved their
neighbors as themselves there
would be an end to war, to so-
cial and economic strife and
inequalities—in short, a revo-
lution. Everybody will agree,
too, that such a change in the
lives of men cannot be
wrought by human power but
only by the Divine Spirit.
So Jesus taught. Stripped of
all theological and sectarian
dogma and doctrine, these
principles of the Oxford Group
are the essential principles of
all religions.' The Gronp has
no organization, no creed, no
doctrines other than those. It
asks none to change his church
affiliations, but rather urges all
to help bring fresh spiritual
strength to the church.

- The \VPA programs differ
from ordinary programs in
having a larger number of
women to provide employment
for, according to Mrs. Flor-
ence S. Kerr, assistant director
of the WPA at Washington.
These women arc economic
heads of families, have others
dependent on them with no
men to support the families.
"Of the 870,000 women in
our professional and service
projects,” Mrs. Kerr said re-
cently, "about 283,000 are
beads of households with de-
pendent children. What good
would it do to take their work
away from these women and
return them to direct relief?
Many are proud of the work
they are doing for the Govern-
ment.”

Austin, Tex. (OP)—More
than 12,000 high school foot-
ball hopefuls on 639 teams en-
tered in the Texas Interscholas-
tic League race got away.
Sept. 1 on a short practice pro-
gram in preparation for open-
ing of the league season.
.R. J. Kidd, league athletic
director, said that eghteen
new schools had entered or-
ganized conferences of “A”.

dition to a record total of 621

earlier success. Once you have not apply to food stocks ac- Tejn“
found it m the past, made use
of it for present action, and
noted the similarity in pace
which results, you will soon be
able to strike the right rhythm
without the elaborate prelimi-
nary imaginative activity.
Further, this rhythm some-
times crops out unexpectedly,
in the middle of unimportant
events; it is a promise that, if
you can get away and at work,
you will find yourself “in
vein.” So you will come to rec-
ognize its onset and be able to
turn it to yonr advantage.
This feeling of pace, or tone,
or rhythm—it represents Itself
differently to differing tem-
peraments—will be your evi-
dence that you are headed the
right way. This is no recom-
mendation to hasten your phy-
sical action in working. That
may or may not come to pass.
It is not so much any real
briskness that is being consid-
ered here as it is the fact that
unimpeded movement in a for-
ward direction is pleasant and
rhythmical, movement which
goes unwaveringly towards
success. *
Let us consider one great
class of successes, of which al-
most everyone has had some
personal experience, or at the
very least has met in the lives
of those about him: the state
called the courage of despera-
tion.
In the most extreme cases,
this courage arises because
some catastrophe or series of
misfortunes has completely
wiped out every alternative to
success. "He has nothing to
lose,” we say of one in this situ-
ation.
Very well, then; he acts
with a directness and daring
which he could not ordinarily
command. So often that R has
become a matter of legend for
us, this action is attended with
overwhelming success.
Desperation does cut off one
alternative. But desperation is
not needed, is not the only tool
which will cut away the pos-
sibility of failure. Imagination
will do the work even better
and more neatly. And we ave
left with Courage-facing-in-
the-right-direction.
Courage facing in the right
direction is the sine qua non
of success, it is to reach that
stage that we put ourselves
through exercises in flexibility
and restraint, learn to turn
quired in the course of busi-
ness but it does apply to sales
to customers buying excessive
quantities.

Austin, Tex., Aug. 81. (UP)
—Gov. W. Lee O’Daniel today
was confronted with the task
of filling three important state
jobs.
T. B. Hill of Austin, whose
term expires today, was ex-
pected to be re-appointed as
member of the Industrial Acci-
dent Board. He was appoint-
ed by Gov. James V. Allred a
year ago at the suggestion of
Gov.-Elect O’Daniel, to fill an
unexpired term.
The term of Tom C. King,
state auditor, expires Sept 13.
O’Daniel also must appoint
a successor to the late Claude
D. Teer, chairman of the State
Board of Control who was kill-
ed by a train Monday at San
Antonio. Mentioned as possi-
ble appointees were O. P.
Lockhart, Austin bakery own-
er, and William J. Lawson,
secretary to the governor.
Austin, Tex. (UP)—Univer-
sity of Texas research experts
have submitted reports de-
fending the state’s great gran-
ite deposits from charges that
the stone is “too destructible”
for use in monuments.
Ninety per cent of the gran-
ite used in Texas is Imported.
Dr. V. E. Barnes, G. A. Park-
insoi and R. F. Dawson of the
university’s bureau of econom-
ic geology countered charge*
of some monument salesmen
that the Texas granite was in-
ferior with a report that “sev-
eral Texas deposits containing
enormous amounts of stone are
as good, and in some casts,
excelling that found in the rest
of the world.”
The research experts said
that "misrepresentation” had
discouraged development of a
Texas industry. Good granite
is found in more than 250 Tex-
as localities, the report said,
including pink granite, marble,
sandstone and limestone.
The state capitol was built
more than half a century ago
from Central Texas stone, and
all monuments erected during
the 1936 Centennial year by
the state were from native
queries.
Two years of research in
University of Texas laborator-
ies has resulted in the develop-
