Lobster Discards Its
Shell Quite Frequently
Few living creatures have such strik
ing habits us the lobster. It begins
to molt or discard its outgrown clothes
the second day after hatching, and
continues to do so with increasing fre
quency until It has ceased to-grow at
all.
When the -old shell becomes too
small a new skin begins to grow un
derneath it;. When this growth nears
completion the lobster becomes a ‘‘shed-
der,” ready to past off not only its old
shell, but even the lining of its esopha
gus. stomach- and intestines.
Restless and uneasy as the molt ap
proaches, there comes a break where
the tail Joins the shell. The lobster
then turns over on Its side, bends it
self to the shape of a "V,” with the
break at the apex. Pressure is applied,
and gradually the rear end of the old
shell breaks loose from the one be
neath. Step by step' the process of
liberating the Imprisoned body from
its outgrown, Iffinor sweeps forward,
_|Until finally the, claws are withdrawn
through the narrow openings. Pres
ently. with a mighty effort, the lob
ster emerges from Its coat of mall,
casts off the linings of its .digestive
tract and steps out, full-panoplied in
a soft new .shell.'—Geographic Maga

Avalanche in the Alps
Avalanches, which in the last few
years have caused much damage in the
Bernese Oberland, are sometimes.start
ed by trivial causes. Even a whisper
lias been known to set them off, and
lives have been lost by a climber
shouting to his companions wliea
crossing a snow slope.
The starting of an ‘avalanche which
a few years ago overwhelmed a cara
van of sleighs in an Alpine pass was
attributed to the tinkle of sleigh bells,
and ever since the use of hells on this
route has been prohibited.
Newcomers to Switzerland often in

little harriers dotted about the moun

year. It would he futile to place ob
structions across the foot of the track
taken by an avalanche - once the mass
has gained momentum it sweeps all
before it. So thick stone harriers are
built on the slopes of the mountains.—

IC—Lessons From Saul's Reign; .
In order to - properly present this
lesson, a survey of chapters 8 to 15 of
I Samuel should be made. '
I. The People Demand a King (I
Sam. 8:1-22).
1. Their Bensons (vv. 1-5):
. (1) Samuel was Incapacitated by
old age.
(2) The unfaithfulness of his sons
whom he had^appointed as his suc
cessors. Samuel greatly blundered in
this, for the office of judge was not
hereditary.
(3) The desire to be like other na
tions.. Since the surrounding nations
had kings as leaders, they wanted a
king who would fight their battles.
2. Samuei’s I’roteat (vv. 0-18). He
took the matter to the-Lord in prayer
and the Lord Instructed him to sol
emnly point out to the people the
meaning of their action.
(1) The king would make slaves of
their daughters and make their sons
to serve In his army and do all kinds
, of hard work on his farms and in his
( house. ’
i (2) He would take their lands, even
, those Inherited from their fathers, and
give them to his favorite officers and
servants. Not content with that/ hs
j would take the tenth part of their
produce to give to his favorites.
3. Protest Disregarded (vv. 19-20).
Having, made up their minds, they de
liberately shut their eyes to tfie truth
and madly rushed Into the experiment.
II. Saul Chosen as King (I Sam.
9-11). r "
1. The King Pointed Out (9:1-10:16).
Saul was sent to search for his fa
ther’s asses that had wandered away.
While on this errand, Samuel* found
him and anointed him. Saul and his
father were acting freely in this mat
ter, yet at the same time God’s pur
pose was being carried cut.
2. The King Chosen at Mlzpeh
(10:17-27). Saul was chosen because
of his fitness. If they would have a
king, the Lord gave them the one best
fitted for their needs.
(1) A fine physique. He was head
and shoulders a&ove the rest of the
people, v
(2) Modesty. (3) Self-control. (4)
Military Instinct.
The method of choice was by lot.
When the choice was made, part of
the people enthusiastically cried, “God
save the king.” Others mocked and
refused allegiance.
III. The King Confjrjned at Gilgal
(I Sam. 11).
Saul took advantage of the great
victory over the Ammonites to get all
the people to crown him king.
IV. Saul's Failure (I Sipn. 15).
This Is one of the saddest pictures
In all history.
1. The Command to Saul (vv. 1-3).
He was commanded to utterly exter
minate the Amalekites. The reason
assigned was their evil treatment of
Israel after they came up out of Egypt
Will Your Family Be Happy This Spring?
If yours is one of the few remaining families lacking an
automobile, no doubt you have finally decided to get one
within the next four months.
A low-priced modern automobile like the Chevrolet has be*
come indispensable to the family of ordinary income. A
million other families can easily prove to you tnat the better
way is with Chevrolet. The beauties of nature, the interesting
and educational features of other places and ways of living,
remain things to read about or seen dimly in cold photographs
until you are free to get to them at your convenience and pleasure.
But, suppose you have definitely decided to buy a Chevrolet
this spring. This does not necessarily mean you are going to
get it. Anyone posted on conditions in the automobile business
will tell >fcu that thousands of families are going to be unable
to get cars this spring. This has been true almost every spring
for the last ten years. There are just two ways of making sure
of getting your Chevrolet for use when the flowers and balmy
breezes of springiure you to the country roads—buy it now
or order it now.
If you do not want to pay for it in full at this time, any
Chevrolet dealer will arrange terms to suit your convenience.
You will be surprised to learn how easy it is to pay for a
Chevrolet and use it while you are paying for it.
Please realize these statements are made by us in good faith
and we mean just what we say about the possible difficulties
of getting a car delivered to you this spying if you wait until
then to order it. The only way to be sure of a Chevrolet
this Sprin’g is to order it NOW.

He was taken prisoner with a group of
federal soldiers and was accused of
being a ‘gringo.’’ He saw another
American killed by the rebels.
“Americans are about as popular as
rattlesnakes with the rebels Just now,”
said Thomas to a group of American
Legion members In. El Paso, who pro- j
vided him shelter and funds. “Since j
the United States began to send muni- |
tions to oBregon, they call It inter

The rebels took 367 pesos—all the
money he had—and left him almost
naked, but was freed when -he
claimed to be German. Then the loyal-
Istlc troops caught him and repeated
this treatment.

more concerned in having His subjects
render obedience unto His comma-nfi--
ment than He Is for them to offer unto
Him sacrifice.
4. The Judgment Upon Saul (vv.
26-35),. For the presumptuous offering
of the sacrifice, the dynasty passed
from Saul’s house, and for this act of
flagrant disobedience, the kingdom
was rent from him. He confessed his
sin and begged Samuel to still honor
him before the elders of the people/
Samuel forsook him and left him alone
to suffer In disgrace.
