When these tobaccos are balanced one against the other, then you have a mild cigarette. When they are in balance, then you have a better-tasting cigarette. May tee ask you to read again the statement on the back of the Chesterfield package? May tee ask you to try Chesterfield?

We have arrived at one of the nost critical moments in the life of 1 the early church. Both Peter and Paul had preached the gospel to Gentiles with gratifying results. But the Christian Jews, in their weal for the Mosaic law, Insisted that while Gentiles could be receiv- -cd into the church, they must first he circumcised. This demand Paul and Barnabas, in the name of free- dom, vehemently 1 resisted. They did not want the Society of Christ to he a mere Jewish sect, but a uni versal community embracing all men sharing the Master’s faith. Mow far-sighted they were! We cannot be too thankful that, at this early stage, the fortunes of the Church were moulded by men of such liberal sympathies. If the nar row “Judaizers” had triumphed, the Christian movement might have been condemned to perpetual obscurity. Fortunately, by the his toric decision of the Jerusalem council, a broad and generous strategy determined the future ex pansion of the church. Instead of becoming the private possession of a Jewish clan, zealous for the legal tradition of the old covenant, Christianity grew into a world re ligion animated with the spirit of a new and living way. Thus was faith saved. Note that both sides of the ques tion were presented in the course of the debate. Then James, the Master’s brother, proposed an hon orable compromise. The Gentiles, he suggested, should be asked to observe only four reasonable regu lations embodied in the Mosaic law. This judgment, really a vic tory for Paul, but also recognizing a certain merit in the position of his opponents, was adopted and sent, in the form of a letter, to the Gentile brethren of Antioch and vicinity. , We have the right to consider this letter a Magna Charta of our Christian liberties. The follower 'of Jesus is not under the yoke of ' any ceremonial system, be it Mo saic or otherwise. “A Christian man,” said Luther, the 450th anni versary of whose birth falls on No vember 10th, “is the most fre£ lord of all, and subject to none.” be forced to'sell at low market ished cotton goods, say officials of prices because they need cash, will the Agricultural Adjustment Ad- be made by a Commodity Credit ministration. , .... r Corporation with a 3-million dol- Investigations in 10 major cities lar capital stock.

LULA BLACKWELL, Executrix, ud: Six Ford V-8 cars piloted by Dutch drivers triumphed conclu sively over five European and two' other American entrants in the fifth annual running of the gruel ing 5-day International Alpine Trail over 1,165 miles of Swiss, Ital ian and French mountain roads„ according to official reports of the race just received here. Three of the winning Fords driv en by a Dutch team captained by Dr. J. J. Sprenger Van Eyck captur ed the coveted Coupe des Alpes, while th£ 'three other Fords won uhe first three places in the indi vidual competition for the Coupe des Glaciers. The first two tied for first place with the best score of any of the dozens of contestants .n the five classes competing. The annual Alpine contest is probably the most severe test of motor car endurance and perform ance conducted in Europe. It is open only to stock cars as sold to the public. Its route from Merano, via St. Moritz, Turin and Grenoble to Nice, includes the ascent and de scent of 12 major passes, with steep v/inding roads, scores of dangerous “hair-pin” turns and a never end ing variety cf road surfaces | which :est alike the stamina of the cars and the skill of the drivers. Most difficult of all the passes is the Stelvic, in the Ortlcr Alps be tween Italy and Switzerland. It rises 9,150 feet above sea level. The highway leading to it is the high est automobile road in the world. In the course of the 11-mile climb from the valley, the drivers were forced to negotiate 52 “hair pin” bends before reaching the snow capped top of the mountain. The Ford cars and other compet itors in the principal class *were re quired to make the ascent of this difficult pass at an average of 28 miles an hour. Many were forced to stop along the way to replenish the water in their violently steam ing radiators but the Ford cars came up the pass in. formation without a halt and continued their journey without adding water. At the final inspection of the mpeting cars at the finish in Lice where penalties were imposed i r faults in condition, the Ford cars were passed without penalty and the drivers complimented by the ju4g£MM2tttiltL comlitton °* and ih.
