^HE FUTURE
Wo do not believe that, even should
Hltlerlsm for a moinent triumph, civilisation
will meet Its doom. These
are not the only days when men have
despaired of the future. Hay what
we will, no matter what the setbacks,
the so-called Dark Axes that have
seemed to quench tho light of progress.
thlB world has always, soon or
late, moved out of darkness Into
light. Compare our day with tho
days of almost universal shivery, days
4>f the black-death, of smallpox as a
common sjckness, days when hospitals
were rare and little better than
none, days when In great cltleB sanitation
was unknown, days when only
here and there was a man who could
read or write.
Compare such days of two thousand
yours ago, of one thousand years
ago, of five hundred yeurs ago with
our day; recall tho horrors of tho
French Revolution less than one hundred
and fifty years ago, born of an'
uprising of twenty-five million people
downtrodden, starving, while a
handful of lords and ladles lived at:
their expense In luxury and splendor.
Who would have dared believe thatj
out of the mad destruction of the
months of that Revolution there j
would come a new birth of freedom'
and equality for man? Recall these'
pages of history and then daro be-,
lleve that, as in the past, so In the'
future, light will follow darkness and1
that Cod's in His Heaven?that right-1
eousii'-ss and judgment are tho habitation
of His throne. Clouds and
darkm ss may he round about Him,
His Judgments unsearchable and past
finding out. but the world's noblest
and wisest and best have never doubted
tight at last would triumph and
wrong be driven from its throne.?

into a conspiracy to blow up
the king, his ministers, and the
members of both houses of parliament
on November 5, 1605. Hi*
plans were discovered after he had
placed barrels of gunpowder in the
building and prepared them for ignition.

day of thanksgiving known as Guy
Fawkes day, which continues to be
celebrated in some parts of Eng!

experts had carried out numerous
tests, the note of A was found
to be ideal for nerve comfort.

Roosevelt's Text
On Thanksgiving
Washington, Oct. 81.?The text of
President Roosevelt's Thanksgiving
proclamation today follows:
I. Franklin D. Roosevelt, president
of the United States of America, do
hereby designate Thursday, the 23rd
of November, 1939, as a day of general
Thanksgiving. 0
More than three centuries ago, at
the season of the gathering In of the
harvest, the Pilgrims humbly paused
la their work and gave thanks to Qod
for the preservation of their community
and for the abundant yield of
the soil.
A century and a half later, after the
new nation had been formed, and
the charter of government, the constitution
of the republic, had received
the assent of the states. President
Washington and his successors Invited
the people of the nation to lay
down their tasks one day In the year
and give thanks for the blessings that
had been granted them by divine providence.
It Is fitting that we should continue
this hallowed custom and select aj
day In 1939 to be dedicated to rever-j
ent thoughts of Thanksgiving.
Our nation has gone steadily forward
in the application of Democratic!
processes to economic and social j
problems. We have faced the spec-1
ters of business depression, of unemployment,
and of widespread agricultural
distress, and our positive efforts
1 to alleviate these conditions have met
with heartening results.
Wo have also been permitted to see
the fruition of measures which we
have undertaken In the realms of
health, social welfare, and the con
servatlon of resources.
As a nation, we are deeply grateful
that in a world of turmoil we are at
peace with all countries, and we especially
rejoice in the strengthened
bonds of our friendship with the other
people of the Western hemisphere.
Let us, on the day set aside for
this purpose, give thanks to the Ruler
of the universe for the strength
which he has vouchsafed us to carry
on our daily labors and for the hope
that lives when peace and the productive
actlvltes of peace shall reign on
every continent.
In witness whereof, I have hereunto
set my hand and caused the seal
of the United States of America to be
affixed.
Done a^tffe city of Washington,
this thirty-first day of October, in the "
year of our Lord, nineteen hundred
and thirty-nine, and of the Independence
of the United States of' America,
the one hundred and sixty-fourth.
FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT.
Hatless Fad Not New
The hatless fad, which was at its
height in *32 and *33, was neither
new nor collegiate. It dated back
before the American Revolution to
the time when English dandies carried
their hats in their hands to
avoid mussing their curled and powdered
wigs.
Elements in Textile Fibers
Textile fibers, including cotton, j
linen, rayons, silk and wool, are
built up mainly from carbon, hydrogen,
and oxygen, although silk has
in addition some nitrogen, and wool
has nitrogen and sulphur, says Industrial
and Engineering Chemistry.
Salmon, pike and goldfish are the
only fish that do not sleep.
Massachusetts abolished the pillory
