Christmas Savings.
Christmas club savings in the Uni

000 will be distributed to member*
this month, this being an increase of
nine per cent, over last year.
Of this immense sum about 38 per
cobL will go for holiday purchases,
and 30 per cent, will be re-deposited
hi the banks a* permanent savings.
The remainder will be divided among
insurance premiums, mortgage and
interest payments, and other commit-

at present. In other words, for every
etation which may be assigned a wave

be accommodated by the application

While it would be rash to say that
this momentous achievement hes act
ually been assured, the high standing
of the scientist who has announced it
tends to inspire confidence that some
thing really epochal haa been devel

have been made by James Robinson,
former heed of the radio laboratories
of the British Royal Air Force, who
was the first to equip English air
planes with radio direction finders
He gave a demonstration in London
a few nights ago which was reported
in the press dispatch to which we have
referred.
Further information concerning the
new discovery will be awaited with
intense interest by radio enthusiasts
throughout the world.

Mary Had a Little Lamb.
The 47-billion-dollar lamb-shearing
was pulled off by Wall Street on
schedule time. About 6 million men
and women are pulling their hair and
muttering: “Oh, why didn’t I sell?”
They were scrambling and fighting to
pay 5 dollars for 1-dollar billa. They
were gamblers and they finally reach
ed the gambler's ultimate rendezvous.

Of course, politicians will continue
to politick. Government employees
will be retained and their salaries pos
sibly increased. Taxes will be “hiat-
ed” ’and so will appropriations. The
highway commissions will hi-way just
a little bit higher. Money will be
spent right and left—that it, if any is
left. Women will continue to nurse
poodles. And thus shall it be . . •
while business slows down to s walk.
The trouble has only started- So us
poof folk* might as well gargle our
throats and get ready for the dote.
This is indeed going to be a spell of
Hoover prosperity . . . unless the
rich decide to make straight the paths
they have littered. (Selah.)
Stumbling Blocks About the Home.
There are many things in and
around the home to stumble over.
Some <ff them are bad but moat of
them are worse. I have been stumb
ling over things left in the way for
about 20 years, and it now affords me
much pleasure to tell the world of my
troubles of this nature.
By reason of this debacle and ftnan-
cial debauchery, our good old United
States stands a chance to have a few
lean years that will prove beyond a
shadow of dqubt that it does not pay
to speculate. Times are due to be
hard, business dull and jobs scarce.
The tiouble only begins when the dam
breaks. The rushing waters do the
damage, and the water has just begun
to rush. All of the fools were not in
the asylum, as we possibly thought:
half of them were buying stocks that
were "listed.” (And hundreds of our
most sensible citizens
invested).
About the moat terrible thing Y ever
•tumbled over was a tricycle my baby
left in the sitting room one night. I
got in from prayer-meeting about 8:30
after having heard a very satisfactory
discourse cn Job and his patience. I
opened the front dor and walked in aa
usual. My left foot landed on the
back axle of that tricycle and I stum
bled for 10 solid minutes and woke up
the next morning in the hospital.
of the knitting needles entered my an
kles. I began to slide then, trying to
get loose. The floor had been waxed.
I shimmied and black-bottomed around
for about 3 minutes, and succeeded in
busting my shin on a rocker. The ball
of thread in that basket got all tangled
up around my lower extremities, and
I stumbled 14 different times, and got
a terrible lick between the corridor and
back door. When I was discovered
the next morning, I wa s so completely
tied and bound, the undertaker thought
I had been ketched in a seine and
fetched home in it. My doctor charg
ed me only 25 dollars to stitch me up,
and I had to pay it myself that time;
my accident insurance had lapsed.
And then, there are skates and yo-yos
and scouring mop* to stumble over
also. f

On another occasion, I got in just
about good dusk. It was very dark,
however, in the hall. I had a nice
present for my wife. Her 35th birth
day had arrived for tl)e 7th consecu
tive time. I had a pretty good busi
ness all that week and didn't stint my
self for a wonder. I bought her the
nicest vase Kress had. The vacuum
cleaner had been left in my way. I
stepped on the suction end of it, the
handle flew up and biffed me in the
face and I landed 14 feet further down
the entrance and lodged against the
bath room door 1 . . . njinus 2
iililk nod nearly 1 eye. (The vase got
broke.)

One Sabbath night after preaching
we had a few friends to come home
with us. They sat till we had eaten
up practically everything about the
l)ouse and then they went home. One
of the girls forgot her umbrella. She
left it open in the sitting-room. But
I didn't know it till 2 day 5 later. I
got up to answer $be telephone about

before I got to it, I stepped in the
umbrella. Two of the ribs stuclc in a
knee apiece, and the bars that hold the
ribs got lung around my toss. I fell
forward. The door kissed me on the
nose, and when I tried to right myself,
the bat-rack caught me on the back
o# my head. T collected 65 dollars ac
cident taaorance that time, so was
rather glad the phone rang.
