Good Flying
Big Warship Review
France Forgives Russia
"Best Minds*' Arc. Slow
Six United States navy planes fly
ing In formation arrived at Honolulu,
having flown nonstop, through fog and
other difficulties. 2,400 miles over the
Pacific.
The accurate navigation of Amerl- j
can airmen picking their way to a 1
speck no bigger than a plnhead on the i
map of the Pacific, the skill of the j
American pilots and perfect perform- J
anee of Amerlcau-bullt engines are
gratifying to Americans and should be
?*? warning to any nation harboring
foolish plans for attacking the United ,
States now or later.
In June all our Pacific fleet of war- !
ships will come back to Join the At
lantic fleet, partly, it l? said, to please
our Japanese friends, who have some [
queer Idea that the Pacific Is a Jap- j
anese ocean. This country does not
agree with that theory, considering
that our front on the Pacific from
San Diego to the far end of Alaska Is
considerably longer thnn Japan's ,
frontage. Anyhow, the fleet will leave
the Pacific and President Roosevelt
will review the combined Atlantic and
Pacific fleets, a glorious, patriotic
Bight.
It Is true that a few cheap subtna- ?
rlnes, directed by radixi^ from a few
dozen cheap homing planes from
some enemy country, could send both
fleets hurrying Into harbors for secur
ity and send those that didn't hide to
the bottom of the ocean.
But there Is no use dragging that
In, when a beautiful review Is dis
cussed.
France and Russia conclude a
friendly trade agreement, despite the
fact that repudiated czarlst bonds j
owned In France amount to six thou- !
sand million dollars.
Europe sees In this trade agreement
"an alliance against Germany and
Japan." At present Europe Is hiving j
Japanese nightmares without any rea
son. !
Japan Is reaching out, naturally, In
Asia, and Europe thinks that next j
Japan will fly around the world, to
gobble up all of Europe and Amer
ica, beginning with America.
"Best minds" worry about Inflation,
not realizing that inflation is already j
here. The Reconstruction Finance cor- '
poratkm demands another thousand [
million dollars. "A thousand millions" ,
Is the financial unit now. i
Whether government keeps Its head ,
buried in the sand In ostrich fashion
and insists on printing Interest-bear
ing bonds, instead of paying out new 1
money and saving the interest, makes
no difference.
Inflation with yellow paper promises
to pay bearing interest, or inflation !
with green promises to pay without
Interest, is still Inflation. The differ- <
ence Is that you inflate wisely If you
don't Insist on putting an extra bur- \
den on taxpayers by paying Interest !
when It Isn't necessary.
I
Washington, D. C., capital of our
partly wet, partly dry country, by an
act of congress "becomes extremely i
liberal," which means that you can
buy what you want and drink it when
and where you like. You will not have
to buy a bottle of whisky, take It
home, put It under the mattress and
see how quickly you can get rid of It
They tried the plan, "take It home
In a bottle and drink It all up quick- 1
ly," In New Zealand, but It didn't work.
When the courageous Ordinal Faul
haber reminds Chancellor Hitler that
the world was not saved by "Aryan"
blood, but "by the blood of the Sav
ior," the Jewish people In Germany
are especially Interested.
They can add to Cardinal Faulha
ber's statement that, in so far as
earthly matters are concerned, while
the spirit of the Savior was entirely
divine, his bodily blood was strictly
Jewish, since his mother wns b girl of
the Jewish race. Did Chancellor Hit
ler ever think of that? Will he be
sorry on the Judgment day that he did
not think of It? Why, In his opinion,
did divine wisdom select a Jewish girl
to be the mother of Christ V There
were plenty of "Aryan," or "Nordic,"
girls on earth. .
The Hollander, Marlnus Van Dor
Iiuhbe, the twenty-four-year-old ston?
mnson, set fire to the German Reichstag
building, burned It down, didn't kill
anybody. That Is as though some
body had burned down the Capitol at
Washington.
The other day In Leipzig Van I>ot
Lubbe's head was out off. The de
tails will Interest future civilizations.
The guillotine blade that drops auto
matically was used In place of a hend
man with ax or sword. Thero w?s
ceremony enotigh to satisfy German
ideas as to etiquette In chopping off
a hend.
Van Der Luhbe, who confessed
scornfully and refused to say anything
more, was executed by the guillotine
operator, Iierr floebler, "dressed In
evening clothes, wearing white gloves."
The senate decldea that any foreign
government In default on the debts to
th? United States csnnot sell bonds
or other securities in this country.
Mlrflfri Jftfcnson had thnt good Idea.

THEFT OF "PEACOCK
STONE" DELAYS ARCH
; e
Work on War Memorial Is
Postponed for a Year.
Washlnjfton. ? Theft of a sample
block of labradorlte, the mineral to
be used In the base of the "Rain
bow Division'' arch in New York city,
may delay work on this war memorial
for a year, according to the sculptor.
This particular sample block was
needed in matching materials for the
memorial.
"The finest specimens of labradorlte,
beautifully iridescent member of the
feldspar family, come from Certain
sections of the Labrador coast which
are ice-bound much of the year," says
a bulletin from the National Geo
graphic society. "This 'peacock
stone' Is found also In Norway and In
Siberia, but It was first Identified as
a distinct species from rock samples
picked up on Paul's island, on the
north Labrador coast, In 1770, and
named for the region of Its discovery.
Stone Itself Somber Gray.
"Although labradorlte Is noted
among mineralogists lor Its brilliant
sheen and flashing blue, purple, green,
bronze and red light-rays of exquisite
beauty, the mineral Itself possesses no
color other than a somber gray ! The
play of many glossy hues, given oft by
the stone in sunlight is the result of
pptlcal interference.
"In other words, the Internal
structure of the mineral breaks up
Into Its color components the white
light which penetrates the glassy sur
face. Some of these light rays are
absorbed by the stone and do not
affect the eye. The rest are reflected
as brilliantly colored flashes by thou
sands upon thousands of microscopic
particles within the feldspar.
"In the mineralogy wing of the Na
tional museum in Washington a large
piece of labradorlte Is so placed In a
glass case that Its cut and polished
face catches the eyes of visitors as
Boon as they enter the wing, although
the case stands well back toward the
middle of a long hall. This specimen
has a bluish-green sheen, somewhat
like that of the wings of tropical but
terflies used to decorate trays and pic
tures. Step a few feet to the right
or left of the polished face of the
stone, however, and It becomes an
Inert gray mass resembling a piece of
granite.
Quarry a Dazzling Spot.
"Blue-green is the commonest colora
tion given off by the mineral, but
many specimens have been found
with a bronze-red hue lovely to behold.
From others yellow, violet and orange
tints flash like the flame of a flre opal
out of the Iridescent crystals.
"The chief source of this mineral
Is a lonely region along the I^abrador
coast north of Hamilton inlet. A few
years ngo an enterprising American
opened a quarry on the Island of
Napoktulagatsuk, near Naln (about
midway between the northern tip of
Labrador and Hamilton Inlet), and at
tempted to place labradorlte on the
market as a seml-preclous stone. The
enterprise apparently was not suc
cessful ; but the abandoned quarry Is
a dazzling spot In the sunlight, with
the rough faces of the rock throwing
off gorgeously-tinted rays that flash
and change with every new angle of
vision.
"Pieces of labradorlte have been set
In jewelry, although the stone Is diffi
cult to work. Its cleavable nature
and brittleness usually prevent the
rutting of a well-pollshed surface.
For the same reason Its use Is 11m
lted Id building construction, although
It Is sometimes employed as a decora
tive feature. Skilled stone cutters
have made vases and lamp bases from
labradorlte that are particularly prized
by art collectors.
"The mineral owes Its origin to vol
canic action In the Labrador region
millions of years ago. Molten rock,
forced between layers of older rock,
crystalized and formed deposits of
labradorite and other minerals, which
were later exposed by erosion."
Autoist Injured by
Hurdling Buck Deer
Ashland, Ore?? A four-point buck
deer was bagged by Lee Wallis,
mall carrier, between Klamath
Falls and Ashland, In a manner
which nearly resulted In the death
of Wallls and the wreck of hl9 ma
chine as Wallls sped along the
Green Springs highway near White
Star station.
The deer, running at full speed,
came Into the rond abreast of the
car. It leaped, but Its head and
front quarters struck the wind
shield, the hind legs smashing
through the window In such a man
ner that Wallls was seriously cut.
Heroic Air Mail Flyer Honored
['resident Roosevelt presenting Mai H. Freeburg, airmull pilot of Minne
sota, with the nlrmall tlyers' medal of honor. Freeburg won the award by his
courage and coolheadedness In maneuvering a disabled passenger plane to
safe landing. Me was Hying from Minneapolis to Chicago with eight passengers
and a load of mall when one of his propellers snapped. The motor, an out
board one, Jolted loose and lodged in the landing gear struts. Freeburg immedi
ately cut the switches on the other motors, and, after investigating, switched
them on again, heading for the Mississippi river. At an altitude of about 1,800
feet he maneuvered his plane until the motor foil away. ILe then headed for
Chicago, and made a safe landing despite a twisted wheel.

Will Restore Palace of Mo >r
Italy Undertake* Important
Project at Ferrara.
Ferrnra, Italy. ? A department of the
Italian government has undertaken the
restoration of the palace of Ludovlcus
* the Moor, great warrior of the Fif
teenth century.

of the greatest architectural gems of

j Baldwin Apples Started
From a Chance Seedling
I Amherst, Mass.? A chance seedling
which sprang up on the farm of one
John Bull, near Lowell, 30 or ,*ir> years
before the American revolution, was
the origin of the Baldwin apple of
today.
! Later, according to W. H. Thles,
MasHachnset ts State college potnol
' oglst, the farm became the property
| of a man named Butters. The seed
ling became a large tree, woodpecker#
made their home In It. Butters dubbed
It "The Woodpecker Tree," and apples
from It were called woodpecker ftp
j plea.
The apple became quite popular lo
cally, and many trees were started
from scions taken from the original
tree.
Hhortly after the revolution ended,
Deacon Samuel Thompson of Woburn
took some of the woodpecker apples
to a Colonel Baldwin of that town. It
wna the colonel who gave the apple
hie name and started It along the road
to Ita present, high place as one of
the otitstradlng commercial apples of
the nation, famed for Ita cooking and
keeping qualltlea.
started on the restoration of different
room* connected by loggias designed
by the Architect Rossettl.
The palace was bought by the gov
ernment 12 years ago to prevent Its
further deterioration due not only to
the ravages of time, but to the fact
It had been adapted as lodgings for
poor people.
Rossettl designed the pnlace Itself
nnd most of It won built by a stone
mason named C'asiro and by the sculp
tor Ambroglo do Mllano. It Is one of
the best Renaissance buildings at Fer
roro and, although greatly damaged,
Its main architectural lines remain In
tact.
The palace will be used for a mu
seum. As a result the work now un
dertaken will restore the three main
bolls on the ground floor to their orig
inal niognlfleence wilh frescoes repre
senting Biblical and mythological
scenes. New frescoes will be pointed
In the Hall of Honor and in the mony
rooms on the first floor as well. These
rooms reveal admirable decorations
even In their present state.
The restoration work Is based on ex
isting historical documents and re
productions of the existing frescoes so
that It will be as nearly occurote oa
possible.

| STANDARDS OF THE KINGDOM
LESSON TEXT? Matthew 6:1-48.
GOLDKN TEXT ? Blessed ar< tho
j pure In heart for they shall soe God. ;
Matthew 6:8.
PRIMARY TOPIC ? Jesus Teaches tho !
| People.
JUNIOR TOPIC ? Jesus' Rules for
Right Living. N
INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOP- !
IC ? Following Christ's Ideal*.
YOUNO PEOPLE AND ADL'LT TOP
IC ? A Christian According to Christ.
I. Tho Characteristics of the Sub
jects of the Kingdom (vv. 112).
Those who are members of Christ's 1
kingdom must possess character con- |
1 slstent with the nature of the king.
1. The consciousness of utter spirit
ual poverty (v. 3). "Poor In spirit"
does not mean to be without money
i (Tsa. 00:2), but to come to the end of
Rolf In n state of absolute spiritual
I beggary, having no power to alter
one's condition or to make oneself bet
ter.
i 2. Profound grief because of spirit
ual Insolvency (v. 4). The mourning
here Is not because of external grief
but because of the keen consciousness
of personal guilt before a holy God. j
; 3. Humble submission to God's will
(v. fi). This meekness is - an out- !
growth of mourning over spiritual ln
i solvency.
i 4. An anxious longing to conform
to the laws of the kingdom (v. G). The j
I one who has received the righteous- !
j nefta of Christ as a free gift follows
? affer the purity of character which
expresses Itself In deeds of rlghteous
t ness.
5. Merciful (v. 7). Subjects of the
' kingdom now take on the character of
the king. He was the pre-eminently /
merciful one.
0. Purity of heart (v. 8). Since
Christ the king Is absolutely pure his !
subjects must have purity In order to
| enjoy fellowship with him.
7. Peacemakers (v. 0). The one
who has received the peace of God
through Jesus Christ will not only be 1
J at peace with his fellows but will dlf- ?
| fuse peace to others.
8. Suffering for Christ's sake (v. |
10). The world hated Christ the king, j
Therefore those who reflect his spirit
In their lives shall suffer persecution ,
(II Tim. 3:12).
; 9. Suffer reproach (vv. 11, 12). To
! have all manner of evil spoken against
one falsely for Christ's sake Is an oc- j
casion for glorying.
i II. The Responsibilities of the Sub- '
j Jects of the Kingdom (vv. 13-10).
| The subjects of the kingdom are to i
i live such lives as to purify and en- I
lighten those around them. Their re- j
1 sponsibilltles are set forth under the ,
? figures of salt and light.
1. Ye are the salt of the earth (v. i
13). The properties of salt are (a) |
penetrating; (b) purifying; (c) pre- \
j serving.
Since salt only preserves and purl- l
fles In the measure that It penetrates, J
so Christians only, as they enter Into i
the life of the world, can preserve It i
i from decay. j
| 2. Ye are the light of the world (vv. :
14-10). The subjects of the kingdom i
should so live as to prevent the tin- J
wary from stumbling and falling,
j III. The Laws of the Kingdom (vv.
20 48).
1. As to deeds of righteousness (v. i
20). The deeds of the subjects of the |
kingdom must spring out of natures i
; which are like Christ's.
j 2. As to sanctity of life (vv. 21-'J0). j
The duty of the subject of the kingdom j
Is to conserve and sustain his own life !
and the lives of others.
3. As to organized life (vv. 27-32)
The family Is the unit of society. The
two awful sins against the family are:
a Adultery (vv. 27-30).
b. Divorces (vv. 31, 32).
4. As to oaths (vv. 33-37). Speech
Is the absolute test of character. The
truth, and that alone, Is to be uttere-d
by a subject of tho kingdom.
G. As to behavior toward those who
do not recognize the laws of the king- >
, dorn (vv. 38-48).
a. Not revengeful (vv. 39, 40). '
Turning the other cheek after being
; smitten, means, after one Insult pre^ !
I pare for another without revenge.
J b. Willingness to do more than Is
required (v. 41). Rather than quarrel |
| with a man for causing you to do that
I which you cannot help, show willing
ness to do mare.
e. Be charitable (v. 42). Our I
hearts should always he open, ready
to give to all, worthy or unworthy.
A. l/ove enemies (vv. 4548). L?v?
to our enemies consists In:
(1) Blessing them that curse us;
(2) doing good to them that hate us;
(8) praying for those who degpiteful
ly use us. Such behavior affords the
j positive proof that we are God's chll- |
dren.
!
Wotting Lit?
Mar>y a person wastes much of life j
waiting for an opportunity to do some j
great thing. While thus waiting for
large opportunities they overlook the !
little dally duties, the doing of which I
will Inevitably fit us for the accom- '
pilshment of greater tasks.
A CKrlitlan AttituH*
No matter how much a man may
differ from you, that Is no reason why
you should not mnlntain a Christian
attitude toward him and treat him
kindly at every opportunity.
CAFFEINE'S BAD EFFECTS
Some Interesting experiments were
recently conducted with domestic rab
bits by the University of Ilelle, Ger
many, snys Pathfinder .vlagazlne.
Straight coffee and solutions of caf
feine administered to the rabbits re
sulted In each case In :he curtail
ment of their prolificacy. Co :7ec from
which the caffeine had been removed
had no effect. Female rabbits, it was
found, were affected more than the
males, while repeated doses of the
drug over a period of time resulted
In deterioration of the reproductive
cells In both sexes. Those results. It
is claimed, do not apply uncondition
ally to humans, as they are much
n*)re Insensitive to caffeine th:in are
riH^jJts.
Why
Liquid Laxatives
are Back in Favor
The public is fast returning to the use
of liquid laxatives. People have
learned that the properly prepared
liquid laxative will bring a perfect
movement without any discomfort
at the time, or after.
The dose of a liquid laxative can
be varied to suit the needs of the
individual. The action can thus be
regulated. A child is easily given the
right dose. And mild liquid laxatives
do not irritate the kidneys.
Doctors arc generally agreed that
senna is the best laxative for every
body. Senna is a natural laxative. It
does not drain tlx; system like the
cathartics that leave you so thirsty.
Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is a
liquid laxative which relies on senna
for its laxative action. It has the
average person's bowels as regular as
clockwork in a few weeks' time.
You can always get Dr. Caldwell's
Syrup Pepsin at any drugstore, ready
for use. Member N. R. A.
Is This Too Good
for Your Cough?
Creomulsion may be a better
help than you need. It combines
seven major helps In one ? tho
best helps known to science. It Is
made for quick relief, for safety.
Mild coughs often yield to lesser
helps. No one ?nn tell. No one
knows which factor will do most
for any certain cough. So careful
people, more and more, are using
Creomulsion for any cough that
starts.
The cost Is a little more than a
single help. But your druggist
guarantees It, so It costs nothing if
It falls to bring you quick relief.
Coughs are danger signals. For
safety's sake, deal with them In
the best way known. (adv.)
