Miss Pearl McCall Would
Lead Destruction of
Gamin; Joints
By HARRY FERGUSON
Uaited Pre** Staff Corretpondeot
WASHINGTON, Nov. 15. (UP).
Miss Pearl McCall. former assist
ant United States district attor
ney, issued a mobilization call to
the women of Wash ngton yester
day, urging them to take up
hatchets and follow her on a
march to make kindling wood out
of every gambling joint within
15 miles.
Her role in this crusade seem
ed to combine the best features
of Joan of Arc and Carry Nation.
Miss McCall's mobilization call
came in the midst of a drive
against crime in the nation's cap
ital. Police confessed they were
incapable of breaking up the
'lumbers game" here because
they couldn't get a conviction
after they made arrests.
Miss McCall said she had a bet
ter idea. It is that women should
take axes and chop all gambling
places to piec.s so there will be
no place for the gamblers to as
semhle.
"It's up to the officials," she
said, "to do something. Appar
ently they can't. What this town
needs is a Carry Nation."
"Whom do you nominate?" she
was asked.
"Ml take that job myself," she
snapped.
Briefly, Miss McCall's strategy
calls for an alliance between the
District of Columbia Federation
of Women's clubs and the same
organization in Maryland. Ladies
who don't own hatchets need not
apply. Miss McCall intends to
pursue the same tactics that j
proved so successful for Carry
Nation in Kansas, except that
she wants to splinter roulette ta
bles instead of bars.
She complained that the wo- |
men's clubs were doing too much
crusading over the tea cups and
not enough out where the smoke
of battle is thickest. Did she have
a definite ohjective for her first
march? She sure did.
"Jinumie's olace," said Miss Mc
Call belligerently. "Until we
clean up that joint we never can
drive gamblers out of Washing
* ton."
Jimmies place is a fortress
across the Maryland line where
the dice are reputed to roll early
and often. It is surrounded by
a high wooden fence and has a
secondary defense of barbed
wire. Pilgrims straggling back
into Washington through the
dawn report that Jimmie's roul
ette wheels are on the level and
that the customers even get a
fair shake in the blackjack game.
Jimmie is the Robin Hood of,
Maryland and distributes baskets ,
of food among the poor.
Law and Dublic opinion have
failed to dislodge Jimmie, and
Miss McCali's hatchet brigade is
the first serious opposition he has
encountered.
Miss McCaU said her first move
' would be to arouse the Federa
tion of Women's clubs, equip
; them with hatchets and then de
liver a frontal attack on Jimmie.
i There is no danger of Jimmie be
ifeg taken by surprise, because
Miss McCall announced her sup
< ply train would consist of news
reel trucks and newspaper men.
At present there are no plans
beyond the destruction of Jim
mie g place, which is quite a iob
in itself and ought to chop down
ipto enough kindling wood ^o
keep all Maryland warm all win

WEEKLY SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON
THE CHRISTIAN STEWARD
By HIGHT C. MOORE
II
Sunday, Nov. 18, 1934. |
Matthew 5:13- lt>; Acts 2:41-47.
Gulden Text—We are members
of his body.—Ephesians 5:30.
In the Sermon on the Mount,
delivered just after the choosing
of the twelve. Jesus in two strik
ing metaphors described the char
acter and influence of his follow-'
ers. Ten days after the ascension
of Jesus, the Holy Spirit descend
ed upon the disciples at Jerusa
lem and Peter preached the great
sermon followed by the imme
diate conviction, conversion, bap
j tism. and church membership of
"about three thousand s«ouls."
I character of the
christian
I
i (Matthew DJ I
The twelve in Galilee just after
their call to apostleship were
given jn the Sermon on the
Mount a description of the char
acter they should exhibit and the
influence they should exert in
the world. Jesus said to them:
"Ye are the .silt of the earth,"
interpenetrating and preserving
mankind from moral putrefaction;
"ye are the light of the world," |
manifesting and making attrac
tive the thinjrs of God. As "alt,
antiseptic and purifying, it is the
duty of the Christian to arrest
decay. If savorless through iso-!
lation or hypocrisy, he becomes
like the spoiled salt which was
thrown intu the stieet and trod-;
den under foot. As light he is '
to afford illumination, revealing
the true life and how to live it.
Let such a light like a city on a
hilltop be visible afar. Nor let it <
be circumscribed, for a candle
was not made to flicker under a
bushel measure but to flame on a
candlestick. And as the candle
honors the sun. let the disciple
through manifest but unconceit
ed ?ood works glorifv God.
CONDUCT OF THE CHRIS
TIAN (Acts 2)
The church at Jerusalem, num-,;
bering about 120 including the i
eleven apostles, exhibited just'
after Peter's sermon on the day
of Pentecost the service which
believers are to render in and
through the church. It was a
waiting, united, praying, Bible
reading. and now spiritfilled, wit
nessing. drawing church. Notice
four tnings about membership in
it: (1) Regeneration before mem
bership, for it was necessary first
to receive and heed the word as
o repentance and faith; (2) bail
tism into membership, for the ten
principal pools of the city were
more than ample for the baptism
of the 3000 converts by the 11
apostles in less than a day: (3)
duies of membership, which in
clude unwarvering loyalty to New j
Testament teaching, steadfast fel- 1
lowship in service, strict observ-;
ance of the Lord's Supper, and
faithful maintenance of worship;
and (4) growth in membership
as shown in the holy awe they
shared and spread, in the power
that was sought and wrought, in j
their community of goods for the '
sake of the needy, in their unity |
of spirit and activity, in their
frequent and regular worship, in
their open-hearted and abound- i
ing hospitality, in their exuberant J
gratitude to God. in their widen
ing popularitv and influence, and !
in their rapid increase in num- j
bers.
HOW TO SERVE AS CHURCH
MEMBER
(1) Serve by Bei^g. "Ye." It
is better to be than to have or to
do or to give. To do our best
we must be our best. To give
the most we must give ourselves.
The Christian is a believer, trust
ing Christ for salvation. He is
a disciple, learning ever and apt
ly at the feet of the Lord. He is
a servant willing to obey the di
vine command. But first of all,
his soul is white by divine grace.
(2) Serve by Preserving. "The
salt of the earth." There is noth
ing but the gospel as transmuted
unto Christian living that can
save the world from putrefaction. ;
But how cleansing, purifying, :
preserving in the salt of the'
earth! I
(3) Serve by Shining. "The)
light of the world." The world J
without the truth as it is in Jesus
is mantled in worse than Egyp
tian darkness. But the light of
truth shining out of Christian
hearts brightens and blesses the
earth. Good deeds glorify the
Father. To love and live the gos
pel is to honor God.
(4) Serve bv Instruction. "The
Apostles' teaching.'* We have in
the peerless pages of the New
Testament the very words of j
Christ and his apostles. It is our,
privilege to read and heed the |
truth that has come to us. It is j
our dutv to continue steadfastly
in it. Then we can more effec- j
tuall.v promote that revival in;
Bible reading and study which i
will uplift our fellow men,
(5) Serve bv Fraternity "Fel-!
lowship." Has neiifhborlinoss j
waned? Has love grown cold?|
Are brothers at outs with each,
other? Pray for a revival that1
will melt the ice in every heart.
Let brothers live together in love I
and each esteem others better
than himself, and all work for)
the common good.
(6) Serve by Obedience. "Re-j
pent—be baptized—breaking of |
bread." Obey the command to
repent. But do not stop there,
for the work has just begun.
Obey the command to be bap
tized and thus take, as it were,
the oath of allegiance to our
King. But baptism is not the
vhole of Christian duty; rather
it is the initial sten of the new
convert as he begins the Chris
:ian life. Obey the command to
jbserve the Lord's Supper in re
membrance of the atoning Sav
our and the coming Lord. Live
the obedient life.
(7) Serve by Worship. "The
orayera." First there should be
individual worship, for the soul
tself is not only responsible di
rectly to God, but should be in
mrnediate touch with him. There
s also the public worship that
must be maintained. Kindred
;pirits become closer akin when
-hey gather devoutly before the
Mercy-Seat.

VANDERBILT
RULING SECRET
f
Justice Carew May En
lighten Attorney's on
Details Today
NEW YORK, Nov. 15. (UP) —
"Justice Carew decided that the
child is not to have for the future
the life that it had from the death
of its father up to June, 1932."
The Secretary of Justice John
P. Carew handed this enigmatic
statement to newspapermen last
evening and thereby left a mys
tery as to what is to happen to
10-year-old Gloria Morgan Van
derbilt. Custody of the poor little
rich girl is sought by her mother
and her wealthy aunt, Mrs. Harry
Payne Whitney.
The justice has been hearing
an action for custody of the child
for a month and his announce
ment, at the end of testimony
yesterday at first was believed to
indicate that he intended to award
little Gloria to Mrs. Whitney,
thus sustaining the aunt's conten
tion that Mrs. Gloria Morgan is
not a fit person to have custody
of hfr daughter.
This interpretation seemed
borne out by the fact that the

"Thedford's Black-Draught has
been used in my family for years,"
writes Mrs. J. A. Hightower, of
Carthage, Texas. "I take it for flick

coming on, I take a dose of Black
Draught. It acts and my head gets
easy. Before I knew of Black
Draught, I would suffer two or

I have used Blaok-Draught."

'child was in custody of her moth
er until June, 1932, and thereaf
ter was in custody of Mrs. Whit
nPJustice Carew, however, refus
ed to corroborate any interpreta
tion of his cryptic memorandum
to the press.
Newspapermen have beet) bar
red from the hearing following
sensational testimony at its open
ing by servants of Mrs, Vander
bilt who testified that she was
addicted to cocktails and night
life; had a strange friendship with
a British peeress and was seen
in her boudoir, in night dress,
with a pa jama-clad German
prince.
Reporters tried to buttonhole
the justice as he left his cham
bers.
"It was designed to keep you
from knowing or finding out what
I finally decide," he snapped, pop
ped into an elevator and departed.
The justice will meet opposing
counsel at 2 p. m. today and may
elaborate his intentions at that
time.
The counsel, last night, were
just as much in the dark as any
body else.
Attorneys Nathan Burkan, for
Mrs. Vanderbilt, and Herbert G.
Smythe, for Mrs. Whitney, said
Carew's statement was handed to
them in the court room without
explanation. They hat} no idea
what the justice was talking about
or why.
"I don't -want to see apy pf you
at my chapters tomorrow," Ca
rew told newspapermen later.
do not w$nt you to ask me
any questions *bout this case. Ip
fact I don't w^nt to see any of
you again—ever."
One interpretation of the state
ment was that little Gloria might
be placed in a Catholic school—
she was a communicant of the
Catholic church—and left there
for a few years pending a final
solution of her future.
It was recalled that during the
public testimony in the action Ca
rew chided Mrs. Epima Keislich,
Gloria's nurse, because she had
not taken the child to mass every
Sunday.
I The hearing, a habeas corpus
action, started October 1. Public
and press were excluded after the
second day—a fact Which brought
b'itter comment from New York
newspapers which charged that!
public testimony attacking Mrs.
Vanderbilt's character had been
permitted, but her refutation had
been kept from the public.
The fact that Mrs. Whitney,
mistress of the $200,000,000 for-,
tune left by the late Harry Payne
Whitney, directed her assault
against the moral character of
Mrs. Vanderbilt served only to
whet interest in the case.
Outcome of the hearing is im
portant to Mrs. Vanderbilt n o t
only as a mother but from a fi
nancial point of view. Little Glor
ia inherited a $2,500,000 trust
fund from her father, the late
Reginald C. Vanderbilt. When his
will was probated it was discover
ed his estate did not 'contain as
sets to pay a $1,000,000 bequest
to his widow, and she was left
dependent on the income from
Gloria's funds.
