And the king, official head of the established Church of England, doesn’t like Russia’s effort to make religion ridiculous, calling It “the opium of the people.” However, the prince did the receiv ing well, the ambassador is satisfied and the British will do business with Russia. F. A. Mitchell-Hedges, British ex plorer, back from Panama, says the in teresting Chucunaques, survivors of a great Indian nation, will soon vanish. Spaniards long ago landed among them, robbing, killing, and since then they have excluded white people. The Britisher, pretending to be a god, lighting fires around his tent at night, going through an elaborate, meaningless religions ritual, impressed them. They tolerated him. by Arthur Brisbane Hard for Robots and Men We Need Submarines Letting Convicts Read A New Standard Lady Science piles prodigy on prodigy, miracle on miracle, so rapidly that it tires the average brain. Professor Partrid&e, only twenty- six years old, in New York univer sity’s chemistry department, can • manufacture lithium at $15 a pound. A little while ago you couldn’t have got a pound for a million dollars. Lit il ium is a metal so light that it floats even on kerosene. Some things that float on water, you know, will not float on kerosene. Professor McTavish of New York university demonstrates a robot, a mechanical man, with an electric lamp in place of eyes, a radio tube in place of a brain, relays and magnets for hands. However, it can be shown that no robot can ever develop any new idea. He who wishes to avoid robot com petition should devote himself to de veloping new ideas and working them out. Only about 1.000 Chucunaques are left, and disease will soon kill them all. Their worst diseases are ignorance and superstition, the diseases that have killed off many races and na tions, allowing others less ignorant and superstitious to take their places. From Seattle, the Pacific Aeronautic Researoh foundation plans, for next May, a nonstop flight across the Pa cific. Men have flown from Europe to South America, from London to India, across the Atlantic repeatedly, over the North and South poles. The Pacific alone remains to be conquered. And only a ffew years ago Lord Nortbcliffe offered $50,000 to any one ! that would fly the English channel! Heavy fogs In the East tied np ship ping, causing great loss,' Interfered with Atlantic cables, stopped the air mail completely for days. Perfection of the helicopter airplane would overcome fog difficulties. In one day, In this prosperous coun try, there was a “turn over” of one billion eight hundred million dollars in tax payments and treasury finan- log alone. Not a ripple on the surface of the finandai waters. " Interest rates didn’t goTup. “Call money,” the kind used for Wall Street speculation, remained at 4% per cent, with unorganized lenders “on the out- ^"offering to lend at 4 per cent. Secretary Mellon knows how to handle big finance smoothly. To him a billion dollars is only a billion dol lars. Perhaps that’s because he has a billion or so of his own. A mother with, a baby handles other babies easily. Mr. Mitchell, President Hoover’s Democratic attorney general, wants $7,000,000 to build new prisons for the United States. He says the problem of prisons is tbe major one before the Department of Justice. In Great Britain they are closing prisons, renting prison buildings for other purposes, because crime is di minishing. The Brooklyn navy yard starts work on a new submarine, the V-7, keeping at work 725 men that would have been discharged. This encourages the peo ple to think we may have some in telligent interest in national defense. Submarines with modern engines can go around the world without taking fuel, traveling on the surface, as they do in peace. A good fleet of really big submarines with heavy guns, knocked- down fighting planes, high speed and long sailing range would do a great deal for peace if they could be sent to visit every important port in Uie world. Those well prepared have peace. The AiAAUHmifrufl^fifryg wa?T Warden Lawes of Sing Sinw^rlson. wise man. says: “1 shall let my con victs read In newspapers accounts of the outbreak in the Auburn penlten tiary. There will* ^caj^iod deal of buzzing when they read them. But tin 1 effect on their morale of withholding the newspapers would he worse than allowing them to see them." That’s an intelligent man. The czars might be ruling yet had they known enough to let the people know the facts. Information and discussion supply a great safety valve. The Warden of Auburn prison, captured by convicts in rebellion, said the convicts, of whom many are dead were made desperate by the knowledge that if they failed, they would surely go to the electric chair. In this case, at least, capital punishment did not deter men from murder. Tbe air mall brings to President Hoover a petition signed by the presi dents of seven Haitian political organ izations asking him to keep oar ma rines in Haiti and supervise the presi dential election coming in April. This year little Haiti has 100 can didates for the presidency. They ara all fighting men, and their followers, are fighting followers. They wanyi the marines to stay and keep then/ from doing to each other things that they might do. j How many times do you breathe in one minute? Guess, offhand, j | Many that know about the revolu tions of an airplane propeller, fr a steamship screw, take little interest in their own machinery. i The United States bureau of stand atfls says the Ideal woman Is now “the perfect 34,” not the “perfect 3C” of days before the “boyish figure.” If your bust is 33. your waist should measure 31 inches, hips 39 inches. Thirty-four bust. 28-inch waist, 37- Inch hips. Is the “standard lady,” ac cording to the bureau, which, however, knows nothing about it. Abraham Lincoln’s mother wasn’t a “standard 34” nor w’as “Bertha with the big feet," mother of Charlemagne. For a cloak model, the “perfect 3-1” Is ideal, perhaps. For an efficient mother, which ts what counts, bigger busts, bigger waists, bigger hips. The breathing question is suigge rgartt ii tested by the case of Miss Margaret McIn tyre, Plainfield (N. J.) school teacher, who breathes only five times a minute, twelve seconds to a breath. Scientists call her a “physiological niiracle.” You, probably, breathe fifteen to eighteen times per minute, the aver age for adults. However, Miss McIntyre has one advantage. She breathes very deeply. Experiments show that she takes in three pints of air at a breath. The average adnlt takes in only one pint. We all inhale too little oxygen. That is why we need exercise, making us breathe more rapidly and 3eeply. Somebody supposed to be an expert says that the United States will man ufacture in 1930. 1,000.000 fewer auto mobiles thna.ln 1929. That prediction, probably mis taken, is not creditable to tbe peo ple’s intelligence. Many things a family can do with out, but no family, properly organized cun do without a good automobile. Just before the war, Noithdiffe of fered $50,000 for a flight ^across the English Channel, less than fifty miles. The other day, Coste, French flyer, set a new record by allying nearly 5,000 miles without popping or tak ing on fuel. / ^ Great progress if a few years, from fifty miles to 5,00tf. Who doubts that ten- years henca fylng across the Pa cific, at any poiat, will be. pilots* “child’s play,” and ‘Ting the Atlantic for student flyers? By this time this cuintry will have to think seriously of lost lie air visits from- Europe or, Juan. Even our greatest “statesmen” will get their minds off archaic bati^hips (9. 198®. by King Fcatuto Syndicate, las.) •»“ \ ‘ \ The country, apparently, is still do ing business. “Big Steel,” Wall Street’s mime for the United States Steel cor poration, shows unfilled orders for steel tonnage increased by 38,783 tons last month. The company has a total of an filled orders amounting to 4,125,345 tons, which does not look much like a “panic." *\ “As a sheep before her shearers Is dumb.” That’s from the Bible. “As a lamb lifter its shearing is dumb” may soon be the news in Wall Street. It depends on the rapidity with which the lambs go back for an other shearing, j. ‘ . They alwavs do go back, which is what makes brokers’ seats worth $500,000 apl“<*e. and will somo day make them wor'ti,' $1.0<K).000 apiece. Mr. .I«*l*i J' ’ •“‘•presoiiltii*-.

Improved Uniform International jiiiiday School ’ Lesson’ (By REV. P. B. FITZWATER. D.D.. Mem ber of Faculty. Moody Bible Institute of Chicago.) ©. 1930. Western Newspaper Union.) Lesson for January 5 THE CHILDHOOD OF JESUS LESSON TEXT—Matthew 1:1-2:23 (Print Matt. 2:10-23). GOLDEN TEXT—Thou shall call His name Jesus for He shall save His peo ple from their sins. PRIMARY TOPIC—God’s Care of Je sus When a Child. JUNIOR TOPIC—God s Care of Jesus When a Child. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOP IC—How the ChiUl-King Was Received. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOP IC—Childhood of the Saviour-King. The central theme of Matthew is Jesus Christ the King, the fulfiller of the Messianic hope. In harmony with this pre-eminent theme, Matthew first deals with the all important question of His genealogy, for His right to oc cupy the throne of David must be es tablished. The royal covenant was made to David (II Sam. 7:8-l<?, cf. Acts 2:30- 32). In harmony with this, the first verse of Matthew’s record constitutes a key to the book. I. The Birth of Jesus, the King (1:18- 25). I. The Saviour was to be the seed of a woman (Gen. 3:15). the son of a virgin (Is. 7:14). This was fulfilled in the birth of Jesus. The genealogy (Matt. 1:1-17) shows His legal right to the throne, but something more is required in order to be the Saviour from sin. He must lie both human and divine (Is. 9:7). The Saviour was be gotten by the Holy Ghost and born of the Virgin Mary, thus becoming Immanuel, which in its fullness means. “God with us, God for us. and God In us." II. The Childhood of Jesus, the King (2:1-23). 1. Wise men from the East seeking Israel’s King (vv. 1,2). The King’s reception was mosf heartless. His own nation received Him not. His advent was heralded by a star which guided men of a foreign nation to seek and worship Him, pour ing out their gifts to Him. These men were Persian or Arabian astrologers— students of the stars. Their attention was attracted by the appearance of an unusual star. Through the influ ence of the Jews who remained in Chaldea, or the direct influence of Daniel extending to this time, they had become acquainted with Israel’s hope as to the Messiah. 2. Herod seeking to kill the King (vv. 3-8; 1G-1S). The news brought by the wise men struck terror to Herod's heart. He was not alone in this, for all Jerusalem was troubled with him. The news ought to have brought Joy. hut a glimpse at tlie social customs in and about Jerusalem of that day enables us to understand why this news brought uneasiness to the people. They were living in the greatest luxury. Fine dress, sumptuous feasts, tine houses and other luxuries led to gross immoralities. This is why Herod and Jerusalem were troubled. A Saviour who would save them from their sins was not wanted. Their desire was to continue in them. Herod demanded of the priests and scribes information as to where Christ should be born. The fact that they were able to tell him so promptly shows that they had a technical knowledge of the Scriptures, but not a heart for the Saviour set forth therein. We face similar condi tions today. This all occurred in Jerusalem, the city of the King, the place of all places where He should have been welcome. When the wise men returned to their country by an other way. Herod slew all the male children two years of age and under in Bethlehem and its coasts. 3. The King found by the wise men (vv. 0-12). The wise men having obtained the desired information, started immedi ately to find the King. As soon as they left the city, the star as it guided them in the East, appeared again to lead them on. Not that It had disappeared from the sky, but the dwellings of the city no doubt shut out the sight of it. Frequently, spiritual vision is ob scured by the things of this world. 4. The King protected (vv. 13-23). (1) Flight to Egypt (vv. 13-15). To escape Herod’s wicked aim, God directed Joseph to take Mary and the child Jesus and flee to Egypt. In obedience to the heavenly vision, he went and remained there till Herod’s death. (2) Return to Nazareth (vv. 19-23). Upon the death of Herod, the angel of the Lord directed Joseph to take Jesus and His mother and go into the land of Israel. By divine direction, he returned to Galilee and dwelt at Naz areth. Kind Words Kind words can never die because they are expressions of God’s love. God, the ever-living one, is love, and His words are eternal; they are the expression of His unchanging nature. —Selected.
