NRA HIGHLIGHTS (Continued from page 1) A general Code Authority was recent ly created to supervise the operation of “basic” codes in these industries which do not require Code Authorities of their own- This group has now been placed in charge of the retail solid fuel code. It will function until the industry can e.ect a new Code Au thority to take the place of the old one which resigned recently because NRA required that minimum prices could not become effective until sub mitted to headqarters for review in 'the consumer’s interest. The General Code Authority is headed by Dr. Wil lard Hotchkiss, president of the Ar mour Institute of Technoligy. Other members include Father Francis J. Hass, of the Labor Advisory Board; Stacy May, of the Consumers’ Adviso ry Board; deLancey Kountz of the Industrial Advisory Board A Break For Vaudevillians. Per formers appearing in movie theaters must be paid at least the code minii mum of $7.60 a dtly, regardless of the number of performances they give, NRA has just ruled. The Motion Picture Code, while providing this minimum, says nothing about the number of performances, and the Code Authority reported that in some cases, actors are being paid per per formance or were appearing in more than one theatre a day and receiving less than the minimum. shy. Bveryone seemed to enjoy the evening to the utmost We wondered why Willie Wainright didn’t display his musical talent, and why Mose Ransome didn’t display his golden baritone or tenor (which is it?) voice when they were called up on? Mose went away with a basket, but the Trojan decorations were still on the wall- What was in that bas ket Mose ? All the Trojans had torches made of taffy apples. Our guests wonder-1 ;ed why all the Trojans had apples and they didn't- Well, the Trojans j had to hold their torches high so ! some weary traveler might see their way. That’s why. Well, we’ll see you next week. Roberta Pharr, Reporter. SCGIAL SINS BY A. G. BEARER (For The Literary service Buerau) | Text: He ithat Keepth Company with harlots spendith his substance,— Prov. 29-3. Prositution has been falsely called 1 “a necessary evil.” It is not that, but it is one of the most ancient evils. ; and one of the mot destructive evils- ' 1. Detructive to Womanhood. The life of a prostitute is said to average - about ten years- The ranks must constantly be refilled, who are made a prey to the luste of men, and who are deceived and decoyed into a life of shame. It destroys their bodies, i their characters and their souls, i 2. Effect on Manhood- In proti 1 tution men waste their precious strength in *ex indulgence. They .waste their money needed for better purposes. By means of venereal di eases they dissipate their strength, wreck their bodies and die. premature ly 3. Hereditary Effects. The direful effects of this chief among social sins ] does not end with the individual nor ! with his generation- Many prosti i tutes become mothers and many liber tines become fathers- tin this way ! tha mral weaknesses are passed on down to posterity. But the worst ! phase of the situation is the heredi i tary effect of venereal diseases: es pecially syphilis called the “black plague.” By this means the curse goes coursing down “from generation to generation ” 4- Responsibility. The responsibi lity rests largely upon men. The wo men are bestrayed or bribed by men. ; They are held in these places for j men. They are used to satisfy the lust of men. Officials of the law who | condone and even protest this nefari ous business are men. And to God men lmust answer for this social sin which is destructive beyond all com putation THE MITZI CLUB The club met Wednesday, October 24th with Mrs. Ethel Kirtley.
