THE THREE GRACES
By GEORGE PECK
The management of the Vanderbilt Hotel, New
York City, recently 'helped launch a movement that
bids fair to sweep the nation like a prairie fire.
The idea of this movement originated in Mamoro
neck, N.Y., where early in March the clergymen and
merchants of that community arranged for the printing
of Roman Catholic, Jewish and Protestant prayers on
the menus of thirty restaurants so that patrons might
express thanks and ask for divine blessing while wait
ing for food. These prayers were written by clergymen
of each of the three faiths.
It was a “natural” for the Laymen’s National Com
mittee to undertake this big task. As sponsors of Nation
al Sunday School Week each spring and National Bible
Week each fall, this organization has been working dil
igently to impress upon our American citizens to estab
lish and keep alive faith in a power greater than their
own. It was also in keeping that the first move to spread
this movement over the nation should be made in the
very hotel in which the Laymen’s National Committee
has its headquarters.
The prayers are as follows:
CATHOLIC: "Bless us, O Lord, and these
these Thy gifts, which we are about to
receive from Thy bounty. Through Jesus
Christ our Lord. Amen."
JEWISH: "Lift up your hands toward the
sanctuary and bless the Lord. Blessed aft
Thou, O Lord our God, King of the universe,
who bringest forth bread from the earth.
Amen."
PROTESTANT: "Bless, O Lord, this food
to our use, and us to Thy service, and make
us ever mindful of the needs of others, in
Jesus' name. Amen."
The trouble with most budgets is that they oper
ate only on paper.
“It is an illusion to believe that we really practice
freedom of speech and freedom of thought.”

Bill Vucovich, Winner of
Memorial Day Classic,
Gets Record $89,497 Prize
By DALE BURGESS
INDIANAPOLIS, (A»)—Bill Vuk
ovich, winner of a record $89,
497.96 first prize in the Memorial
Day 500-mile auto race, is going
to remind a lot of speed fans of
the late Barney Oldfield.
Vukovich chews a big cigar like
Barney’s and he is an even fiercer
competitor, but he doesn’t talk as
much.
Vuky headed for New York and
a television appearance today but
he took along Wilbur Shaw, three
time winner of the race, to do the
talking.
The new speedway champ suf
fered visibly last night at the pub
lic presentation of his winnings.
On top of the cash, he received
the Ford Sunliner pace car, free
meals for a year, a dog, an elab
orate set of tools and assorted
trophies.
Vuky mumbled something about
“having a good ride” in the low
Frey fuel injection Special owned
by the Howard Keck Co. of Los
Angeles and hurried back to his
seat.
A combination of 91 - degree
heat and fumes from high ex
plosive fuel mixtures took a great
er toll than accidents and forced
repeated pit stops for driver
changes.
Carl Scarborough, veteran racer
of Clarkston, Mich., collapsed
after leaving his car and died
two hours later of heat exhaustion
and heart failure. . *.
Pat Flaherty of Glendale, Calif.,
seriously hurt in the worst of
five wrecks, apparently suffered
a heat stroke before his car hit
the northeast retaining wall.
Six other drivers were treated
for heat exhaustion.

TAX ON STRENGTH
EMPORIA, Kas., (j?)—Somebody
evidently had a little difficulty
getting in and out of the Emporia
postoffice doors. He wrote a note
on a blotter and left it in the
lobby for all customers who' cared
1 to read.
“The doors of this building,”
the note said, “are hard to open
because it is the only way- the
government can tax your
strength.”

former presidents of Latin-Am
erican republics living in Paris:
Eduardo Santos, Columbia; Man
uel Prado, Peru; and Miguel Ale
man, Mexico. Others are expected

erican Presidents.”
In the early days of arithmetic
calculation, a dust-covered table
was used on which figures in each
column were represented by a
corresponding number of marks.
