The cases are recommended for bazars, sales, and bridge prizes, as well as gifts for friends who are traveling, to say noth ing of their desirability for the home maker herself. The case is modeled after an ex pensive leather needlecafce. It Is tubu lar shaped with round ends which measure IVi inches In diameter. A straight strip !> Inches wide and 5% inches long Is sewed along one A- inch edge to each circular edge for half Its distance. He sure to have the sew ing on each circle begin at points ex actly opposite so that the 5-Inch edge will be perfectly straight between them. The loose flap folds over the kit and snaps to It. A strip of flan nel for needles is sewed to the lining case scissors In under the flannel leaf. Sew a narrow strip of the lining ym terlal to the lining so that It will come under the leaf, and under this slip the tiny scissors. Working Directions. The case Is lined, and If the outer material Is soft, Interlining should be used as the r> hy 5^ -Inch portion should he stllT. Sew the flannel leaf to the lining 1 Inch from one of the ft-lnch ends and put a short length of lining from the end of the portion to a place beyond the seam-llne of the leaf concealing Its seam. Cover two circles of cardboard, one with the out side material and one with the lining material. Overcoat them together along edges.

It Is easy to see how quickly one can he made and nlso how handy it would he. The fittings are three full-sl/.e spools; one of white cotton, one of black, and one spool of black silk. Position the white thread between the two black ones. Pat two pack ages of needles under the spools, and A thimble in the space between the last spool and the end of the case. There Is just room for the thimble, which space of course has been left Intentionally for thnt article. One accessory which the Imported model lacks In scissors. We can rem?Miy this by putting a pair of wee needle part of the snap to the center of the kit, so that the two will nt together when the case la closed.

BARRETT For many oif the problems which seriously puzzle us, we find an expla nation in our study of the Inner workings of na ture's luws. The law of compensa tion is splendidly illustrated In one of \VUllam Beebe's books. "The Arc turus Adventurer." He cites the. case of the peacock, who Is gorgeous ly arrayed in fine colors ami justly voted the aristo " crat among birds, I but has a voice which no bird would covet. The nightingale, on the other hand. Is, by common consent, voted the first place among soul-stirring songsters, yet has a plumage which Is not to be envied. As with the birds, so with men and women. The law of compensation, explains many, of what appears to be. life's Injustices. At times we grow very much discouraged with our lot. We seriously ask why wfe had not been given a special talent like our friend. Upon more careful examination, how ever. we might be quite unwilling to be blessed with that particular tal ent, If nt the same time, <*t meant sharing some of the other character istics of that jmrtlcular person. Things seem to be equally balanced In this world. It Is all folly for one to try to do something which he was' never Intended to accomplish. The peacock would make a farce of an attempt to sing, and the nightingale, a ludicrous comedy of any attempt to display Its fine feathers. The path of least resistance Is Just to be ourselves. If we study our selves earnestly nnd seriously we shall soon discover that nature has been very kind. We shall discover, In spite of our handicaps, that there is one thing we can accomplish. Hy developing this one thing we acquire self-confidence. Other possibilities open before us, for we have discovered sources of strength within, which we did not know we possessed. A strik ing Illustration of this fact is found In the career of the great scientist, Stelnmetz. Born a hunchback, he came to America penniless. Frlend I less, he decided to make something of himself. Life held great compen sations for him and he became a lead er In the field of electrical engineer ing. The law of compensation also plays an Important part In helping us rightly to evaluate our own expe rience. For all who bravely meet i adverse conditions, the law of com pensation brings encouragement. Even the economic depression, with all its sacrifice, sorrow and suffering has Its compensations In renewed courage, hope, and enduring power. ?, 1933. Western Newfipa-per Union.

Athens, Greece, famed city of the Near East, may have Its Samuel Instill, hut Shanghai, equally famed city of the Fur East, now has Its C. C. Julian. Julian, late of (tkla hoina City, Los Angeles, Vancouver, and other undesignated points, arrived In Shangahl about a month ago and registered at a leading hotel, using the name T. It. King. Aside from the pseudonym, Julian made litUe effort at concealment. Ho went places and saw things, particularly those things and places designated by the tourist agencies as Shanghai's "night life." His real Identity was disclosed to the local American authorities by a | Russian private detective, who applied to Dr. George Sellett, United States district attorney, for the $5,000 reward which was offered by the Oklahoma authorities for Information loading to Julian's arrest. Canadian Passport. But those who went to an expensive room In Shanghai's leading Cathay hotel In the expectation of arresting Julian and obtaining the $.">,000 re ward, came away empty handed. Julian produced a Canadian passport, claimed Canadian citizenship and when the newspaper correspondents arrived on the scene, he poured each a liberal portion of whisky-soda and declared, "You can tell the United States to go to h ? 1. I'm a Canadian citizen and try and get me." Julian denied swindling anybody, explaining that the oil "game" in the United States Is quite similar to "gold rushes" where people must take chanccs. "In September, 1929, I was unfortunate enough to lose $12,000. 000 In one deal. Looking for a place to recoup, I went to Okluhoma City and formed the C. C. Julian and Roy alties company, which was evaluated by the American Appraisal company within eleven months at .$11,000,000. Rut bud luck came my way and my company was forced into bankruptcy, and I was Indicted by the federal gov ernment. Claim# He's Penniless. "We were fighting five court, cases, one of which was in Texas and an other In Oklahoma City. I engaged lawyers to represent me, but soon dis covered I was being betrayed. I de cided It would be foolish for me to remain and he the goat In that Okla home City field episode, hence I de cided to leave the country and come to Shanghai. My trial was scheduled to begin on February 0, but I departed the duy before, traveling to the Orient by way of Vancouver. While In Japnn 1 was considerably worried by being followed by secret police, but ceased to worry when I learned It was a ens torn of the country. I like Shanghai fine. It Is wet and has many Inter cHtlng forms of recreation. As soon as I decide what form of business to engage In I Intend to recoup my for tune. Later I may return to the Unit ed States. Now I am penniless." However, he has retained a battery of lo>cnl European attorneys and In tends to fight extradition proceedings. In coming to Shanghai, Julian ap parently was well advised, for Shong hnl comes under what Is popularly known os foreign extraterrltorlol Jur isdiction. Foreigners residing In Shang hnl generolly are not subject to Chl nese courts, but to the courts of the country to which they claim nation ullty. Unless Julian has committed a crime In Cannda he cannot bo extradited to that country, and since his allege! | crime was commit tori In the United States there doesn't appear to be any lepal machinery whereby Canadian or British officials In China can turn him over to American officials in China for transportation to the United States.

PRIMARY TOPIC? God's Gift of C riends. JUNIOR TOPIC? Ruth the Loyal. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOP IC ? Ruth the Loyal. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOP IC ? The Message of the Book of Ruth. In order to grasp the material con mined in the subject there must be fcwept Into view the whole book of Ruth. The lesson committee recog nized this and assigned the book as the lesson text. However, for con venience the lesson text which Is to be printed has been confined to the first chapter, verses C-1H, I. Ruth's Connection With trie Jew ish Nation (l:l-r>). 1. The sojourn in Moab (vv. 1-3). Dn account of famine In Bethlehem of Jmluh, Kllmolech with Naomi, his wife, and their two sons sojourned in the land. During this sojourn Eli melech died, leaving Naomi, the wid ow, to care for two fatherless sons. 2. The marriage of the two sons (v. 4). During the sojourn the two sons fell in love with and married Moabitish women named Orpaii and Itiith. i- or Hod's chosen people even to sojourn In the world exposes them to the likelihood of intermarriage of the members of the family with the people of the world. M. Tiie death of the sons (v. 5), In a brief time, three widows were left In the one family relation. This fam tl.v went to Moab in escape trouble, only to have their troubles greatly in creased. When clod's people go into the world to escape diflicultics they are sure to suffer in consequence. II. Naomi's Return to the Land of Judah (.vv. 0-14). Because of the chastisement that was sent upon Naomi, slit4 resolved to return to her country. The purpose of God's chastisement Is to cause his children to return unto him. When the time came foi Naomi to go, Ituti) and Orpah accompanied her for a distance. This she permitted, hut deetrmined to place before them frankly the difficulties that would con front them. Having laid the matters before them, she urged them to turn back. As much as Naomi loved her daughters-ln law. she would not have them go with her without knowing fully what their decision meant. III. Ruth's Noble Choice (vv. *10-18). This choice on her part meant: 1. No chance to marry again. In that day to be unmarried was the greatest disgrace. Furthermore. It was against God's law for the .Tews to marry outside of their own people. 2. She must renounce her gods. Idolatrous worship could not be car ried on In the land where Hod's peo ple dwelt. This was delicately touched upon bv Naomi when firpah went back (v. 1."0. Orpah went back when It was plain that there was no chance to marry again. At tills time Naomi put an additional test upon Ruth, flint of giving up her religion. Ruth was equal to the occasion. Her mind was fully made up. Her very expressions have rome down to us in word!! which "no poetry has outri valed, nnd no pathos has exceeded, arid which have gone through centur ies with the music that will not let them be forgotten." She was deter mined to share Naomi's Journey, her home, her God, her lot In life and her grave in death, whatever that would he. It meant that she would renounce her heathen gods, and worship Je hovah. IV. Blessings Which Attended Ruth's Choice (chaps. 2-4). 1. She found the true God (1:10). Instead of her heathen gods who were unable to help her. she now had a liv ing CJod ? the God of Isrnel. 2. She found human friends (cnnp. 2). As she went to glean she was led to the field of Ron 7.. a man of wealth nnd grare. The servants treated her with consideration. Even Roaz gave Instructions for special consideration to fie given her. 3. A good husband and n bappy^ home (chaps. 3, 4) She not only | cured a husband, hut a man of God who bad an abundance of this world's goods. 4. An honored place In the Israel Itish nation (4:115-17). Though she had to forsake her own people, she becnme one of a nobler people. f>. She became a link In the chain of Christ's ancestry (4:13-22, cf. Matt. 1 :.")). The one who fully decides for Christ and gives up ail for him shall receive a hundredfold In this life, and in the world to come eternal life. The Holy Spirit There Is only one Inlet of power In file life; J?Ht one Inlet? the Holy Spirit. He In power. To yield to his mastery, to cultivate tils friendship, to give him full swing ? that will result In what Is called power. One Inlet of power ? the Holy Spirit In control. Furing Wron ft W * y The man who becomes a Christian because he confirms the faith of his fathers may be on the right way, hut he is not facing In the right direction.
