Hailstones three inches in di ameter often fall in storms in In dia. Iron was smelted to make hoes and sickles as far back as 1,200 B. C. . Agricultural agents are em ployed by thirty-two of Montana’s fifty-six counties. In constructing the Graf Zep pelin 50,000 square yards of cot ton fabric were used. Almost every oasis i nthe North African desert now has its gaso line filling station. A one-man one-motor combine of Australia invention is being tried on western grain fields. The average worker loses seven days a year from work because of illness. The high limit for apartment houses and hotels in Paris is eight stories. A plan to colonize sections of Nova Scotia with British and Dan ish families is being formed. Aluminum chloride is now suc cessfully used in making gasoline from high-boiling petroleum oils. Only three feet under the sur face of the ground the tempera ture is as cool at midday as at midnight. Iceland’s population is about 103,000. Blue stain in wood is caused by minute fungi. Medicinal arnica is derived from the plant arnica montana of Europe. Whales’ eyesight is not good, though they can see both in and out of water. It requires at least thirty min utes ordinarily for the sun to put a layer of tan on the skin. The three highest mountains in the world are in India; Mt. Ever est, Kangchehjunga and Kabru. Hailstorms are frequent and severe in subtropical regions and are rare in the coldest parts of the earth. The United States navy has dis continued its carrier pigeon mes sage service and will use radio en tirely. Factors which make for strength in brick walls have been studied by the United States bureau of standards. An Oregon town has set aside parking space on one of its main streets, three miles long, “for tour ists only.” The rate of twin births is un usually high in Ireland. XXX Each year many thousands of trees that might be saved are kill ed by rodents. Resort to bridge grafting if the injury is severe or the tree is entirely girdled. A bridge graft is made by using scions or small limbs t» connect the injured areas of bark. Farm ers’ Bulletin 1369-F on “Bridge Grafting,” which can be secured from the U. S. Department of Ag riculture, Washington, tells how to make successful bridge grafts. X Hides should be cleaned before being salted and cured. Clean hides bring better prices, and oth er things being equal there is less waste and they make better leath er. Meat and fat should be remov ed, ragged edges trimmed off, and the ears split twice. Then wash both sides of the hide with clean, cold water and a brush. Scrub particularly the hair side to re move all dirt from the hair, but be careful when doing this not to scratch or scar the grain. Let the hide drain thoroughly to re move excess water before saltinj. X Some marry because they dislike to be around alone and others get divorces for the same reason. jtiisaM by Arthur Brisbane To Terrify Terrorists Another Attempt to Kill For Gold Star Mothers Women Spend 53 Billions Los Angeles, Calif.—The shooting of the Mexican president, his wife and another, none killed, fortunately, will mean drastic action in Mexico. No nation will tolerate, even in civilized times, a campaign for the control of government by murder. Back of the young hand that fired the shots there stands in the shadow some murderous organization, relying on terror and us ing servile tools for its purpose. Ortiz Rubio and the powerful Portes Gil, former president, now Rubio’s secretary of the interior, will tind ti way to terrify the terrorists. Before the would-be murderer shot him, Ortiz Rubio, in his brief inaug uration address, had promised that all classes of Mexicans “should enjoy the privilege of being classed as men.” Those familiar with conditions under which Mexico's lower classes have lived, and with the attitude toward them of the upper classes, will know what that means to the Mexican under dog. Congress votes more than $5,000,000 that “gold star” mothers may visit their sons’ graves in France. Of 11,000 mothers entitled to go, 0,000 have ex pressed a desire to go. Many cannot go, because of duties at home. Others, perhaps, dread the sorrowful shock. To those that do not go, congress should pay in casli the pro rata amount that it would cost to send them, about $1,000. No other course would be fair. Texas has an “anti-chain store asso ciation” to drive and keep out chain stores owned outside the state. The governor and other high officials are said to indorse the association, which seeks to protect thousands of small merchants, driven to the wall by chuiu- store efficiency and economy. Another attempted murder among our Latin-American friends. An at tempt, fortunately a failure, is made on the life of Melio Vianna, vice pres ident of Brazil. As in the recent Mex ican outrage, the man attacked was making a political address and the would-be murderer was moved by po litical hatreds. Only harsh severity can meet such an assassination epi demic. Richard Stewart, rug merchant of Warren, Ohio, is in jail,* Judge Perry found him guilty of molesting a wom an. Stewart offers an excuse as old as Adam: “The woman led me on.” In jail Stewart refuses to eat. It would have been fortunate for Adam, and for us. but bad for the clothing business, had Adam likewise refused to eat. Charles Evans Hughes returns to the Supreme court as chief justice, at President Hoover's request. In him the people have a brilliantly able man, worthy to take Mr. Taft's place. And from Mr. Hughes’ acceptance of .the position you learn that honor and opportunity to be useful are more important than financial profit. Mr. Hughes gives up a private law- practice worth more than $500,000 a year for the small salary and great opportunity- of the Supreme bench. Chicago's Retail Advertising insti tute is told that American women spend every year fifty-three billion dollars. A million is a great deal. A thou sand millions is a very great deal. Fifty-three thousand millions spent by the women in this country is an extraordinary amount of money. Tiie rich, in this happy land, very happy for some, are richer than they ever were. The Treasury department tells you there were 490 Americans in 1928 with annual incomes above $1,000.0(H). The total on which they paid income tax was one thousand and seventy-three millions;. And, as you know, this represents only a fraction of the really big in comes. There are men with incomes above one hundred millions each. Their money is in great corporations. The latter re invest their earnings and hand stock dividends instead of cash to the big controlling stockholders. On such dividends, in accordance with Su preme court decision, the really rich men pay no income tax. One man, with much more than a hundred millions income, paid, as show-n in reports once published, only six millions income tax. Without the stock dividend device lie would have paid forty millions at least. A lot of salary earners and professional men made up the difference. Of the supermillionaires, twenty- four have more than five millions a year each. With all that money you would expect to hear of some remark able and interesting things done, but money and imagination do not often go together. Imagination prevents ac cumulation. For brains and ingenuity there nr- always openings and success. What is wanted is something that will give a decent living to any man or worn an willing to do honest work. Even the average man has a right to Mve, or should have. Improved Uniform International Sunday School ' Lesson’ (By REV. P. B. FITZW'ATER. D.D..

JUNIOR TOPIC—Jesus' Helpers at Work. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOP IC—Helping to Win the World for Christ. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOP IC—Recruiting Christian workers, i. The Plenteous Harvest (9:35-08). 1. Christ’s compassion (v. 3(5). As He went on His rounds {trenching the gospel of the kingdom. He saw the multitude as sheep having no shepherd. 2. A plenteous harvest and the few laborers (v. 37). He saw the whole needy world as a ripened field of grain ready to be harvested, with but few who were willing to labor in the harvest field. 3. ITay ye the Lord of the harvest that He will send forth laborers into His harvest (v. 38). II. The Twelve Sent Forth (ch. 10). The sending forth of the twelve shows the methods adopted by Jesus Christ in the propagation of the king dom. it should be oiearly borne in mind that this chapter does not out line the policy of the missionary en deavor In this age. in order to show the dlspensutionnl aspects of the les son. the following divisions of the chapter are suggested: L Instructions bearing immediately upon the Apostles’ work to the death of Christ (vv. 1-15). In strictness of interpretation these teachings cannot be applied to any later period. (1) The ministers chosen (vv. 1-4). These twelve humble men were chosen and commissioned to carry on the work of the propagation of the kingdom. These twelve stood in a peculiar rela tion to Israel. (2) The sphere of their mission (vv. 5, 0). They were only to go to Jews. They had no message for Gentiles, or even Samaritans. After Pentecost tlds sphere was widened (Luke 24:40-49; Acts 1:8). No such restriction obtains with reference to ministers today. The middle wall of partition was broken down by the death of Christ. (3) Their message (v. 7). By “the kingdom of heaven is at hand” is meant the promised king dom of Israel was at hand; that Jesus Christ, tiie promised king, was present and ready to set up His kingdom. Aft er tiie church is translated, the same message will lie taken up for a brief time by the believing remnant (See Acts ir»: 13-18: Rom. 11 and Rev. 7). (4) Tiie supernatural authentication of their mission (v. S). They were clothed with power to work miracles. These wonderful works were really done by the twelve. (5) Their maintenance (vv.9. 10). They were to make no pro vision for their support, hut to depend wholly upon tiie Lord who sent them. Since they had received the message and power gratuitously, they were to give it out in the same way. (G) Re sponsihilities of those to whom tiie message was delivered (vv. 11-15). If the people would not receive them or hear their message, they were to turn from them and pronounce judgment upon them. 2. Instructions concerning testimony from Pentecost onward (vv. 16-23). After Pentecost, testimony for Christ would be fraught witli great danger. Both -lews Jind Gehtiles would assail tiie messengers with the most bitter persecutions. They were scourged In the synagogues before heathen magis trates. Instead of bringing peace to tiie homes, they brought divisions of tiie fiercest kind among families. In their defense they were to rely upon tiie Holy Spirit to aid them. These conditions were literally fulfilled in the period from Pentecost to tiie de struction of Jerusalem. Since tiie fall of Jerusalem, no one has ever been scourged in a synagogue. Verse 23 seems to carry tiie work forward to the time of the preaching of the gospel of tiie kingdom in the tribulation time. The Lord's coming then is so speedy, that their testimony is cut short. 3. Tiie teaching applicable in nil ages (vv. 24-42). The disciple has the position of oneness with tiie master. He is cou rageously to declare the whole counsel of God. though most violently op posed. Though the testimony result In the most hitter opposition, the nves- senger should not he surprised or dis couraged. for so completely is the Lord identified with His disciples that He accepts treatment of them as treat ment of Himself. The Man Who Prays Tiie man who prays is putting some thing into tiie hands of God that was not there before, and God can do for that man something when he prays that he cannot do unless he prays.— William Douglas Mackenzie.
