In preparing it, you face considera

Partly Overcoming Gravity
2. Considering the millions of pos-

find that this four and a half million
dollars which we propose to spend
will halt the destruction of 12 billion

benefits and interest on the national. to 100 million dolars. It will save
debt. Pace said: in one section of Colorado alone saw-

Better, Cheaper Foods
3 Chemists are making headway
in preparing sugar, proteins and
yeasts from small trees, and other
food direct from grasses, water, and
sunshine. These experiments are to
•'by-pass" the cow and the steer,
both of which are now very in
efficient manufacturers of milk and
beef! The whole study of diet is in'
a most elementary stage. We will'
have much more tas;y .and nourish- 1
fng food from the use of minerals, |
sunshine, water and air, at much j
lower prices^ .
We will buy peaches ground up,
skin, flesh and seed: meats and fish
ground up, bones, body 1 , and skin;
while lobsters will be sold claws,
meat and tamale all ground into a
delicious paste siiitabe for lobster;
bisque-©r-thermidor. These prepara- '
tions will be more tasty and nourish
ing and sell for less money because
of the reduced labor involved.
Cnlimited Mind Power
4. The power of the mind over
matter has been emphasized by cer-'
tain religious organizations; but on
ly recently has much power been 1
tested m ..laboratories. I am espe- t-
daily interested in the work of Pro-*
fessor J. B. Rhine of Duke Univer- f
sity, Durham, North Carolina. His
experiments definitely prove that the I
mind acting upon a plant or planted
seeds can have a direct effect in has- i
tening or retarding growtl). The ‘
Fonda Horse, three miles south of
R;chmond, Virginia is worthy of stu-I
dy.
Watch Plastic Industry
5. The use of plastics has, as yet,
hardly been scratched. Women are
carrying plastic bags and are wearing
plastic raincoats; but othed plastic
materials, including rqgs and dress
goods, are about ready for the mark
et. The purpose of these is to en
tirely eliminate weaving by rolling
out the goods from a liquid the same
as paper is now made. Leather shoes i
which now require about one_ hun- j
dred separate operations, will some-!
day largely be discarded for quickly
moulded shoes. Such plastic shoes
should stand up longer, be more
beautiful, requiring only^ H) workers
instead of 100, and will, sell for half
present prices. .
A Universal Religion
6. I visualize a great movement
toward Church consolidations. Many!
readers may not class such a move- I
ment as "miraculous” as some tall j
the above developments, but it will
oe. No wealth, inventions, or new'
products will make the world a bet
ter place in which to live unless ac
companied by a spiritual awaken
ing. All these can be used either to!
construct or to destroy according to
the peoples’ religious faith. The first
step to such a spiritual awakening
wiU .be Church consolidation and a
universal religion.

fact, reports coming in from through

Washington, Feb. 22.—Govern

government costs were the subjects
of hearings before both senate and
house committees during this past
week, and witness after witness ap

In the midst of these hearings the
house of representatives, by a two-
vote margin, gave the President’s
foreign program a smashing setback
by defeating an appropriation of
