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.

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.

RHINELAND CITIES
mi
Koln’s Cathedral Dopninates the Rhine.
Prepared by the National Oeoiffaphlc Society.
Washington, D. C.—WNU Service.
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 topic as given by the Lesson
committee is hardly a fair Istntement.
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.
