Whenever President Roosevelt makes an address jover the radio, David Selznick has it recorded, and these rec- jords are used daily in training 'actors for voice tests. t Players memorize his speeches, ithen play the records over and over following his every intonation until they have mastered the art of per fect phrasing. Considering the great charm of the First Lady’s recent broadcasts, studios might do well to get records of her talks. • In recent weeks Carole Lombard has been the busiest young woman in Hollywood, be cause her Para mount contract al lows her to make one picture for an other company each year, and all the companies have been sending scripts over to her house for her approval. There were such grand stories in the lot that Carole wants to make at least three of them.

A S ONE stands on the sea shore at the full of the tide and looks out over the swell ing floods surging in from the distant horizon, his feet are on the threshold of an enormous empire, so vast in extent and population that the achievements of the haughtiest rulers of mankind are dwarfed by comparison. Though fleets sail over its depth, they make no significant impres sion upon this immense realm. The subjects of this empire swarm through the waters in my riads totaling far greater numbers than all the life of the continental world. In fact, scientific investiga tions indicate that the oceans were the original abode of life on the globe, and that the continents were peopled from that inexhaustible res ervoir. Geologists believe that the depres sions now occupied by the oceans have been located In approximately their present positions during the entire history of the earth, and that the foundations of the land masses likewise have been situated nearly as they are at the present time.

As the open seas were peopled from the oceanic shelf, so the fresh water streams and swamps received parts of the overflow. Countless spe cies found food and a measure of safety from enemies by creeping into the area between the tides, where they acquired resistance to exposure to the open air at the tervels of low water.

Public service—that position of opportunity and responsibility- merits far better treatment than is commonly accorded to it, for we know only too well how often it is nothing but a political football car ried hither and yon as the dictates of partisan purposes may indicate Scripture holds a very exalted view of the public servant. Paul tells us to "be subject unto the high er powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God” (Rom. 13:1). The Bible clearly teaches that every governmental agency and every public servant from the policeman on the beat to the President in the White House, is only permitted to exercise authority over his fellow- men because God has ordained that there should be such government. Clear ft is that every right-thinking official of state and nation should be humble, teachable, discreet, and wise In the exercise of his power, and God-fearing in the discharge of his responsibility.

The oceanic shelf to the 10G-fa th orn line widens rapidly to the north ward. reaching its greatest extent off the Gulf of Maine, where it Is approximately 400 miles wide. The central floor of the Gulf of Mains is an ancient river valley to which the river systems, represent ed by those now existent, contribut ed their drainage, to be emptied in to the prehistoric sea by a single channel and mouth still traceable on the sea floor at the edge of the continental shelf. Throughout this extensive and comparatively shallow oceanic margin, well illuminated by the aim’s rays, conditions are favorable for an enormous development of the marine plants on which sea ani mals feed: namely, the microscopic diatoms, ond-ceUed algae, and the larger seaweeds.

On the vertical granite wells of Bliss island, the various species are arranged to overlapping zones, with the conspic uous white band of rock barnacles. Below this, the rockweed« hang in thick, gracefully festooned clusters down to the low-water mark. Concealed beneath the rock weed, and succeeding the base of the barnacle zone, the rocks are covered with a dense layer of young black mussels. Among them are closely crowded groups of the common dog whelk, feeding upon the mussels, and lay ing their graceful vase-shaped egg cases, tinted rose and yellow, in mosaiclike patches in the crevices. TheJatter mollusks secrete a pur ple dye, formerly used by the In dians for coloring their deerskin garments. They are related to the murex of the Phoenicians, from which that people derived the fa mous royal purple, later arrogated by the Roman emperors for their personal use. The dog whelk has a thick shell with a characteristic spindle-shaped opening. It is extremely variable in color, size, and sculpture along the New England shore.

In Service—Responsible aad Powerful (w. 40-44). He who had humbled himself un der the mighty hand of God was ex alted in due time. (See I Peter 5:6.) Joseph was willing to abide God’s time, and did not run ahead of him as did his father, Jacob. The record shows that he used Ida place of honor and privilege to per form a difficult and arduous task and to do it well. Right-spirited men do not glory in position or pow er, but use the opportunity to give themselves in sacrificial service to God and their fellow-men.
