Samuel D. Price, D. D. CoodAJvice For A Safe Fourth Of July This year most of the nation will oeJ-sbrate the Fourth of July with a l&Eee-day^ holiday. Such a long period for recreation is awaited eagerijr fay us all. Yet its unusual length doubles the hazards and -danger to which we will be exposed. Independence Day is known as Ifce worst accident day of the year. Tills year may break the tragic record unless everyone guards oim- *^f closely and observes all safety iUfes. A list of “don’ts,” all excel- Jfcot advice, has been prepared by National Bureau of Casualty and Surety Underwriters and fol- . iters: If you drive your car—Drive Ifefely: Oan’t drive recklessly—it’s a long fciliday and there’s plenty of time. Don’t take out your car unless it Is in first-class condition. Don’t drive on the wrong side of 4fce road—keep to the right. Don’t drive too long without rest ing—mental’ lapses due to fatigue cause accidents. Don’t pass other cars unless you iaye a clear view ahead; don’t cut in and out of trajfic lines; don’t ptaas or fail to slow down at inter sections. II you go .swimming—Swim Safe- *: Don’t attempt marathon races by xsTimming too long or too far. Don’t venture out into too deep water if you’re not a strong swim- jeer. Don’t swim away from the crowd —' 1 Irr unity there is strength.” \ Don’t indulge in ducking others -or at frightening weak swimmers or children. Don’t lie too long in the sun— sua poisoning is injurious and can Ik ’iatal. If you celebrate With fireworks— Celebrate Safely: Don’t hold lighted firecrackers,in 3»3or hand or throw them close to others. _ Don’t explode firecrackers near ccaibustible : naterials. v Don’t celebrate with guns loaded witfa real cartridges or shot; fire crackers and toy cap pistols are dangerotfs enough. Don’t fail to treat Injuries, even Ha? most minor ones, immediately aad intelligently. Tetanus pois oning works slowly but surely. Don’t get too close to a display of fireworks—premature explosions <&ecur. While Genesis means beginnings this quarterly review lesson which covers this first book of the Holy Bible. No genealogist can calculate the time involved. In fact Jehovah was before all time of record. He was the self-existent cause of all creation in untold process of time. Sin is a subject that has a large place in this book. The Bible as a whole tells how sin can be pardon ed. Genesis 3.15 is called the First Evangel and is fulfilled in the atonement of Jesus Christ on Calv ary. While the sin of Adam and Eve separated them from God, He nt once made provision, through the work of the Son on the cross. After the Flood man was given another opportunity. Redemption was to come through the Hebrew people and Abram. Abram proved his faith in God when he was to obey what he understood to be the requirement of the Almighty in of fering his son Isaac in sacrifice. Isaac in time did his part though he was overshadowed by both his father Abraham and his son Jacob. Those who appear to play minor parts are doing work that is essential in the necessary pro gress of the plot. Jacob made many mistakes and paid dearly for them. His ambi tion for the birthright was com mendable but his methods were contemptible. Joseph is one of the most valu able persons for character study in the O’d Testament. He preferred a clean conscience in the presence of God to any impure contact that would dwarf him as a man. He went from the pit in Dothan to the position of Prime Minister in Egypt. The family reunion in Goshen marked the beginning of the birth of a nation. The Golden Text has a greatly enlarged mean ing: (Romans 3:23). By JANE OSBORN ({£) by McClure Newspaper Syndicats.)

She wouldn’t have the head for it. Imagine Miss Kline or Miss Hicks here going out to sell bonds—imagine their selling any!” ‘‘They haven't got the head for it,” shouted young Toni Venner. “That’s what I'm telling you. Get a woman of the right sort and she could sell bonds with the best salesman we’ve got—” The middle-aged Kirk Yates shrieked his answer. “But if you get a woman like that you've got to pay as much.” “Then pay, by gummy, pay.” bawled Tom Venner, with several emphatic bangs on his desk. “The point isn’t that I want to get a bargain, but I want to get people that will stick. Take Bloden, or Smyth, or Klinger— any of ’em—they sold bonds for awhile and when they got real good at it, they got better jobs, went somewhere else or started out by themselves. My idea is that a woman isn’t so ambitious or so daring. . Get two or three trained in, and we’ll have a staff you can de pend on. Get me?” Mr. Kirk Yates sniffed, indicating thereby that, while he didn’t “get" Mr. Venner at all, he was through ar guing. “Go ahead,” was all he said. “I'm only a partner. I can’t stop you from trying an experiment. But don’t start out with three or four. Get one and see if it works.” So it was that the employment agent who supplied the bond house of Yates and Venner with stenographers, comp tometer operators and other office workers had a rather unusual position to fill. There was only one applicant on the list at this agency that was con sidered suitable. This was Jane Hay den. The employment agent sent a sealed note along with her. Tom Ven- ner read it through while Jane Hayden sat waiting at the other side of Ids desk for r.n interview. “She does not seem to have the striking personality you may thfhk necessary for selling bonds. But there is something about her eyes that I should think would take the trick. And she’s very intelligent.” Tom Venner had not noticed her eyes as she came in the room, he had merely noticed with a trifle disappoint ment that she was a young woman of middle size and not commanding ap pearance, who mad? no special effect when she came in the room. Then, as he turned to talk to her. she lifted her eyes, sober, light brown eyes they were, with exquisitely mould ed brows. They were eyes that, had he never seen them again. lie could not lyive forgotten—trustful and trust compelling, eyes that made you forget everything else save the personality of the young woman who owned them. “I think you dould sell bonds, or anything else,” Tom said, trying not to look at the eyes. lest he be too eas ily influenced. “The question Is wheth er you are willing to learn enough about bonds to know how to do it.” Jane Hayden said she knew she could learn, ns she was used to study, and after an arrangement had been, agreed upon—whereby she was to be paid As much for what she did as a man salesman—she was formally tak en into the employ of Yates and Ven ner. Mr. Yates remarked to Tom that he had certainly picked a pair of good eyes, adding: “But can she sell bonds?” Tom Venner said. “We’ll see.” Jane Hayden soon proved her ability as a saleswoman. She sold bonds and more bonds, and she was always on hand when either Tom Venner or Mr. Yates wanted to see her. She never seemed to have to play golf or eat lunch or go motoring with the people to whom she sold the bonds. By ail means she was the best bond “sales- mnn’-’ they had. “Here’s something that I don’t sup pose you’ve thought of,” said Mr. Yates. “Here we’ve got a first-rate bond salesman. She has learned the business and she's making money for us and for herself. And not being a man she isn’t ambitious. She won’t want to start out for herself, was my idea about getting a an—” “Your idea!” cried Tom. “I remember that it was your idea.” “I didn’t say much,” smiled Mr. Vates. “but that morning I asked you to get a girl—that was the idea I had in view. There’s no reason now why this Miss Hayden shouldn’t remain with us for years.” “No reason but one.” said Tom Ven ner hastily and with color mounting in his already rather ruddy face. “She might marry some one in the busi ness—” “Well, as I am a married man my self.” said Mr. Yates with a conceited smile, “and as Trigger can’t get his di vorce and ns Royden is about a foot shorter than Miss Hayden, and as Ben Short Is engaged. I don’t see much to worry about.” “What about me?” cried Tom. “You!” gasped Mr. Yates. “Does *he care about you? Well, I’m blessed.” Then he laughed. “She’s got wonderful eyes,” said Mr. Yates, “but It's bad business for you *n take her away from the firm.” Guide to Wealth Buy when the crowd Is selling and sell when the crowd Is buying.

(j. P. national con vention ocday. Making almost a clean sweep of the first and only roil call, .Resi dent Hoover was renominated \.o- day by a Republican convention | which had spent nearly all of :.ts concluding session shouting his praises. The rolling tide of his support lifted his total to 1126 1-2 out ox the 1154 votes in the convention. The others were scattered in the official computation as follows: Senator John J. Blaine of vVis- coiisLi, 13. Foimer President Calvin Cooiidge of Massachusetts, 1 1-2. Dr. Joseph I. France of Mary land, 1. Former Senator James vV. Wads worth of New York, 1. Former Vico President Charles G. Ca.wes, 1. Not voting, 3. Absent, 1. CHICAGO STADIUM, June 13.— The Republican party, in noisy and demonstration-tossed convention assembled, gave a new pledge of support today to President Hoover. Reaching at last the one item of its whole bill on which there was substantial unanimity—renomina tion of the president—the conven tion marched in a long and brill iant parade in his honor, with the standards of the state crowding one another thickly for places in line. California led off, its delegation jumping to its feet shouting when Joseph L. Scott of Los Angeles, making the Hoover^ nominating speech, concluded with a tribute to the leadership of the Californian who sits in the White House. At the head of the circling dele gates Governor James Rolph of California and Governor William T, Gardiner of Maine, whose seats were near together in the front row of the delegate section, joined in carrying at the head of the parade, a thirty foot banner, reading- “from Maine to California press on with Hoover.” A shouting, dancing, holiday pa rade it was. All the familiar para phernalia of convention demon strating had been provided. A band 4 mixed with the narchers, winding in and out among the dele gates. . Tin horns and whistles added their discord to the riot of aoise. High above, five thousand toy balloons, every color of the rain bow, were released to float far and wide qc^ross the broad hall, their tints enlivened by the daylight glare from the great spotlights. 'Above the speaker’s stand a dele gate held high the first picture of the president to be displayed in the convention. X S. C.
