Correspond ents with receiving sets listened te the Italian pilots talk ing to each other by radio. Haile Se lassie, hurrying south, was • not at home when they called. That war should be over soon. i! * * Arthur Brisbane Dr. Alice E. Johnson, psychiatrist of Philadelphia's Municipal court, gives six reasons for marriage failures. They are: Different family back grounds of husband and wife; rela tives Interfering, especially mothers-In- laws; infidelity; incompatibility; alco holism, and a desire to •‘dominate.’’ There is a seventh reason, to be found in the nature of man, wiio is still 08 per cent In the age of barbarism. Marilyn Miller is dead, only thirty- eight years old. The little town of Findlay, Ohio, or .the bigger town of New York, might well erect some monument to her memory. She con tributed a great deaKto human cheer fulness and happiness, and it may be said of her, as Samuel Johnson said, referring to the death of the great actor, Garrick, that her death ‘‘eclipsed the gayety of nations and impover ished the public’s -stock of harmless pleasure.” A lady who signs “B. A. G.” is In terested in very serious things. She writes: ‘‘The more I hear of those big armies, the more I am reminded of the huge population of hell. What is your idea of hell?’’ That big question may be answered later. An aged colored man once told his pastor: "I don’t believe in hell, because I don’t think any constitution could stand it.” "It worries me,” says the lady, ‘‘that •o many men are afraid of poverty here upon earth, and not afraid of hell.” Miss B. A. G. is certain that hell is real, a belief that must be comforting to those anxious to have the wicked punished.* Winthrop W. Aldrich, head of the Chase National bank, biggest in Amer ica, knows about money, as did his father before him, the late senator from Rhode Island, who Invented the Federal Reserve plan and put It through. Mr. Aldrich thinks it would not be a good Idea to turn money loose and encourage a speculative, stock gambling boom, lie remembers iyjo. Under certain circumstances “the prospect of Inflation Is very grave indeed," says Mr. Aldrich and warns against ‘‘the erection of a top-heavy structure of credit again.” When a woman starts, she keeps going, nearly always. Nothing could stop Joan of Arc, Dr. Mary Walker, or Nellie Bly on her trip around the world. Now Amy Johnson, married ’name Mollison, sets out alone In a streamlined monoplane to beat the rec ord on a fight to Cape Town and back. All alone, down to the other side of the world and back again, over ocean, forests, wild beasts and v,-ilder men. And fools used to say women lacked courage! t An offensive and defensive treaty between Japan and Germany, like (lie one between France and Russia, is considered a certainty. It should be possible for nations that want to survive and prosper to get together and let others that must fight kill each other off until they tire of it This country, at least, should carry out that plan. Japan and Russia have passed from the ‘‘warning” stage to border fight ing on the Russian side. Planes, war tanks and heavy artillery are taken across the Manchukuo border by Rus sia, and that ‘‘looks like business.” i Russia will soon know how much Mongolia will be worth as a protec tion against Japan, and Europe may soon know the value of Russia as a ^ protection against Asia. ■w I The Canadian Press ribws service says Canada’s wealth has shrunk al most six thousand million dollars since 1929. That will be only a tem porary shrinkage.

M ANY of the cities that will be affected economically by the recent ~ movement of Nazi trtfops are well-known to Americans who have enjoyed happy vacation days in the Rhineland. Among them axe Koln (Cologne), Duisburg, and Koblenz (Coblenz); cities that have beckoned to, and charmed trav elers from this ^ide of the Atlantic. Koln is one of tfie most popular stop ping places along the Rhine. The city, with its bristling trade and with one of the world’s most famous cathedrals Is, perhaps, the valley’s greatest draw ing card. Whether the traveler approaches Koln by the black-and-white funneled passenger boats, by train, or by motor over the numerous highways that radi ate from the city, the massive cathe dral, blackened by age, firsf comes into view. The huge structure dwarfs the eiose-built, gabled, medieval houses and modern flat-roofed structures. The Koln edifice is a fine example of Gothic architecture ranking fifth in size among the world’s cathedrals. It is richly adorned with a profusion of turrets, spires, flying buttresses, elab orately carved, cornices, fluted col umns, and stained glass windows framed in beautifully executed tracery work. From its heights numerous gargoyles gape at passers by in the streets beneath. The twin spires flanking the western facade, each nearly as tall as the Washington monument, tower over th^, city and the swift flowing Rhine ‘‘like fingers pointing the city to heaven.” Koln Is Ancient But Busy. Although Koln is two thousand years old, it reflects its prosperity and modern development in wide, tree- lined boulevards, broken here and there by flowering - gardens And park ways ornamented with monuments, and equestrian statues of celebrated German countrymen. Fine shops and Imposing mansions border these thoroughfares but now and then one wanders Into a section where medieval Koln reveals Itself in tortuous, narrow, cobbled streets, walled by ancient gabled house fronts and dimly lighted by antiquated gas posts. The Roman wall that once surround ed old Koln has long since been de stroyed and its foundation now forms one of the city's most beautiful boule vards and parkways—The Ring. Only the gate Uwers of the walls jjomain, marking the limits of the old city. Beyond them Koln has spread out. ab sorbing numerous suburbs until its population now is nearly 700,000. As Germany’s great river port and one of Its major railroad centers Koln Is t^e St. Louis of the republic. Under the graceful arched bridge that con- nects_ Kolr with the east bank of the Rhine, pass long strings of barges, lumber rafts, barge steamers and pala tial passenger boats. Koln has a large trade In corn, wine, mineral ores, coal, leather, tim ber, and porcelain. Some of the products of the city’s industries are known by their names such as Koln brown, a brown coal, or lignite, used as a pigment In paints; Koln ware, a plain bard stoneware, mottled gray and brown which is made into orna- cental Jugs; Koln spirits, a rectified liquid containing 9G per cent alcohol; Koln thread and Koln blades. Duisburg, Germany's largest river port. Is more than l,r>00 years old. There was a village on Its site in 4.‘W A. D., and it was well-known to the Romans when they occupied the Rhine country many centuries ago. When the city charter was handed to the Duisburgers in 1129, the port’s com mercial importance had been estab lished. Viewed from a Rhine river boat, there is nothing in Duisburg to suggest Its age. The traveler looks out upon a maze of shipping. Duisburg and Ruhrort were merged In 190r> and the quays of the two cities, If spread out in a single line along the Rhine, would span 25 miles of river bank. Duisburg a Crowded Port A constant stream of boats is coming and going from the Rhine channel. Iron products, steel, coal, tobacco and textiles move from this port to many parts of the world, while some of the incoblng boats bring iron from Spain and Sweden to keep the wheels of Duisburg mills In operation. Mean while the Ruhr river, which flows into the Rhine at Duisbnrg, is filled with vessels and barges, many of which dock at the busy port where their car goes are transferred to sea going craft, or conveyed to Duisbnrg mills. Beyond the quays, lofty smoke stacks rise above huge steel and iron plants, rolling mills, foundries, machine shops, chemical works and shipyards, and now and then on the brightest days, the blast furnaces belch a volume of flame and smoke that startles the trav eler. A Dulsburger will show him how some of the factories make use of their smoke by extracting gases which help turn the wheels in the mills from which it comes. Quaint, gabled houses with doorsteps protruding upon the cobbles'of narrow streets, and the venerable St. Savior’s church, a fine Gothic edifice, whose spire rises 312 feet above the city, take the traveler back a few centuries, but most of Duisburg is as new as any of America’s colonial towns. In the middle of the Nineteenth cen tury Duisburg had only 15;000 inhab itants and Ruhrort, 7,000.” Today both cities have a population of nearly 300,- 000, drawn from nearly all parts of Germany, and many parts of Europe. As the rich Ruhr district Is further developed. Duisburg, as the water gate way of the Ruhr district, bids fair to continue to grow. A large portion of the working popu lation of Duisburg work fn the great steel mills of the Duisburg area. Fre quently they crowd the city stadium which accommodates 40,000 spectators. -^The opera, and some of Germany’s finest orchestras and enthusiastic audi ences here. Many churches and gov ernment buildings, as well as the mu seum, are adorned with paintings, sculptures or industrial art works. The newer portion of Duisburg is laid out with modern thoroughfares, in the business districts of which are fine shops. Frequently the streets open into the broad squares where Duisburg has placed statues In honor of local and national patriots. Duis bnrg was the home of Gerhard Merca tor, and in the Burg-IMatz is a fountain commemorating the mapmaker. Attractions of Kobfenz. The traveler finds that there Is little wonder that American soldiers liked their assignment to Koblenz after the World war. Few cities and towns, even in the Rhine valley, enjoy the picturesque setting of Koblenz. For many miles above and below the city, the Rhine shore is studded with villages, like gems strung on a gracefully curving string. Behind them, well-kept vine yards, sources of the famwus Rhine wine, clothe the steep river banks from the village backyards to the foot of massive wails of castles that a few centuries ago were the gay gathering places of some of the great and near- great of Germany. From the opposite shore, or from the rail of a Rhine river boat, Koblenz dis plays no evidence that there wa^ a town on its site 2,700 years ago. A colossal equestrian statue of Kaiser Wilhelm I overlooks the Rhine from the Junction point of the Moselle and Rhine rivers. From this point to the opposite end of the city, the Rhine shore is lined with a wide, open tpace with shaded promenades and numerous grassy parks. No sooty smoke stacks and ware houses are visible to mar the skyline of modern buildings and lofty church steeples. There is a landing place on the riverside but it is spotlessly clean and free from unsightly piles of cargo Koblenz Is a great wine market, but after viewing the fine buildings, anc palatial residences set amid, wide lawns, travelers search for other evl dence of the city’s livelihood. On the Moselle banks they find it. Barges constantly come and go from the quays and a visit to the nearby streets reveal busy piano, paper, and dye fac tories, and chemical laboratories. On the riverside are small yards from which slip some of the boats ant barges that ply the Rhine. Along the Moselle banks also are a few narrow, crooked streets, lined wl^h venerable houses, business build ings and churches—all that* remains of old Koblenz, formerly Confluentia so named because -of its situation at the confluence of the Rhine and Mo selle. The church of St. Castor, founded eleven centuries ago; the Liebfrauen church, a Thirteenth century struc ture, and the municipal picture gallery, formerly an old castle, are a few of the Interesting historic gems found with'r. the site «f the once walleJ town. A pontoon or boat bridge crosses the Rhine leading to Elirenbreitsteln fort ress on the east bank of the Rhine. The Stars and Stripes flew over EJirenbreitstein from December, 1918, to January, I923v Beautiful pano ramas of the Rhine and Moselle val leys and a splendid bird's-eye view of Koblenz is ample' reward for a climb to the fortress whose walls rise 385 feet above the Rhine.

The supreme message Is the presenta tion of contrasted lives and destinies as expressed through the accidents of wealth and poverty. Lazarus was not entitled to heaven because he was poor, neither did the rich man reach the place of torment because lie was rich." Tn tMs lesson two worlds are unveiled before us, disclosing extremes of character and conditions of per sons. In this world we see a rich man reveling In luxury and a poor man in sore affliction begging at the rich man’s gate. In the other world we see the same men In reversed positions. These lives were v intended to be rep- resentive. I. The Contrasted Lives (vv. 19-21). 1. The rich man (v. 19). He seeems to have lived in a mansion secluded from the common people. He was clothed in costly raiment. He was served the richest food that could be provided. His sin was selfishly to In dulge his appetites without considera tion for others. 2. The beggar (vv. 20, 21). He was laid at the rich man’s gate with the hope of getting at least the crumbs from his table. The rich man gave him no consideration. The dogs of the street were more kind to him than the rich man. Though destitute and helpless, the man's name is most sug gestive. “Lazarus” means “God is a *help,” indicating that a godly life shone through his^poverty. Worldly condition Is not a sure test of a man’s position in the sight of God. All rich men are not wicked and selfish, neither are all poor men godly. II. Their Contrasted Deaths and Burial* (v. 22). 1. The beggar. He was found dead and his body was hurried off to a pauper’s grave. No notice was taken of his death by the world. Doubtless the only loss to the world was that he was no longer to be seen at the Hth man's gate. 2. The rich man. He also died. His gold could not bribe the messdn. :er of death. Doubtless a costly funeral was held, attended by those who moved in his social class, the officiat ing priest pronouncing great eulogies • over him. III. Their Contrasted Destinies (v. 23). 1. The beggar. He was at once carried by the angels into Abraham’s bosom. Te souls of believers are espe cially cared for at the hour of death (I’hll. 1:23). They go immediately to be with the Lord. 2. The rich man. Though he had an elaborate burial, he lifted up his i, eyes in hell being in torment. When the veil of futurity is lifted, we see the positions of these men are reversed. The poor man is in the company of Just men made perfect because of his life of godliness on the earth, and the rich man is stripped of his purple and fine linen and cast into hell with,all wicked men, because while on earth he lived only for selfish ends. IV. The Reality and Fixedness of Life Beyond the Grave (vv. 24-31). 1. The cry for mercy (v. 24). Dives, which is the Latin name for “rich man,” was now willing to claim relationship to Abraham. He was keenly conscious and tiie appetites which controlled him while ,on earth were still with him Part of the torment of hell will be the .cravings of appetite and lust with no means of their gratification. 2. Abraham’s reply (v. 25). This reply cast the matter hack upon the man’s memory. He said, “Son, re member.” The lashings of a guilty conscience will lie most real in hell 3. Their fixedness. Human des tinies are fixed during this life. When one passes (£n of this life he enters Into a condition unchangeable. God’s Word is the all-sufficient liglft (vv. 27-31). Dives now requested that Lazarus go on an errand of mercy to his brethren. He regarded the testl monv of a spirit of more value than the Word of God. Many totlay are more willing to trust the rappings of a ghost than the sure Word of God. Abraham declared that God's Word is sufficient, that those who rejected Moses and the prophets would not re pent thougb^isited by one who had risen frqm^the dead. ’Twill be the ‘‘Pride of the Gar den,” and also the pride of whatever bedroom if adorns—this lovely ap- liqne quilt.
