N EW YORK.—In 1929, at the age
of seventy-one, Frederick H.
Prince, the Boston banker, was still
playing polo. He has great faith in
the durability of
Time Better men, institutions
Than Reform and governments,
for Bonne" as long as they be
have themselves.
He left for Europe to forget about
business for a while and intimates
that it would be a good thing if the
government would be similarly neg
lectful. “Washington should stop
trying to reform business and leave
the situation to time/' he says.
Time has treated him nicely and
he may well give it a testimonial.
At seventy-nine, he is the grand
seigneur of American business. Only
four years / ago, he engaged in a
hard-hitting slugfest over the con
trol of Armour & Co.
He got what he was after—the
chairmanship of the board. He has
many such trophies, having con
trolled 46 railroads, and, in general,
one of the biggest cuts in the Amer
ican dream of any man of his day.
His (mainly liquid) fortune is esti
mated at around $250,000,000. But,
for many years.
Make* Point he says, he has
of Being in made it a point to
% Debt Always ^e about $20,000,-
' 000 in debt. That
is revealing in connection with his
ideas about money and success. He
emphasizes the dynamics of money.
It isn't money unless it is working.
Stagnant money just dries up and
blows away. Hence you draw cards
even if you do have to drag a few
chips for markers.
He’s a little too heavy for polo,
with a massive gray head, deep
sunken, pondering eyes, and heavy,
gray moustache; a bit grim, per
haps, but not formidable. When,
early in October, 1929, a small black
cloud appeared on the horizon, he
viewed it with a telescopic eye, saw
it for what it was, and got out of
the market.
The cyclone never touched him.
Until a few years ago, he was still
riding to the hounds at Pau, in
southern France, master of the hunt.
He has marble palaces fiere and
there, one of them the former man
sion of Mrs. O. H. P. Belmont, at
Newport. Remarking that he has
been in business 55 years, he says
this little squall will blow over ir
two or three months.

'T'HE reason isn’t quite clear, but,
these days, the colleges compete
for tuba players as well as athletes.
Dr. Walter Albert
Tuba Ace* Jessup deplores
Prized Same this and other
as Athletes phases of the
scramble for stu
dents in the annual report of the
Carnegie Foundation for the Ad
vancement of Teaching, of which he
is president. The fight seems to be
entirely in the field of extra-curricu
lar activities. No mere scholar gets
competing bids from rival faculties.
Since he became head of the Car
negie foundation, in 1933, Dr. Jessup
has been a consistent deflationist, so
far as education is concerned. He
wants fewer and better students in
the colleges. He assails the col
leges which would “teach anybody
anything.” He is against education
al trimmings, excrescences and
gadgets, as the little Scotch iron
master doubtless would be if he
were looking over the current scene.
Other leading educators join him
in this, but the big mill has to have
d • mm'll P lent y of raw ma-
tSrain Mill terial, to keep on
Needs Raw grinding, or else
Material become just a
crossroad plant.
So they go after even the tuba play
ers. At any rate, each can blow its
own horn.
Dr. Jessup was president of the
University of Iowa from 1916 to 1933.
A native of Richmond, Ind., he was
educated at Earlham college and
Columbia and gathered several
honorary degrees in later years. He
was superintendent of schools in In
diana and dean of the college of
education of Indiana university. He
has won high distinction in the edu
cational field and is the author of a
book on arithmetic.
One gathers that he would not
recommend Benny Goodman for a
college faculty and that quite prob
ably the next Carnegie report may
find adversely on the shag, the eep-
er and the susy-q. He is for low
kicking and high thinking, as
against the prevailing reversal of
this formula.

Giants Short Lived
The circus giant, the man with
abnormally long legs or other ab
normalities of frame, is a short
lived human. Tall men fall into
two classes, those who attain their
extraordinary growth because of in
herited tendencies and those who
become freaks because of some up
set in the glandular functions. The
man who “comes by his height nat
urally” usually lives a normal life
span, but the freak seldom attains
middle age. An insurance compa
ny, given to research in such mat
ters, found that a number of men
ranging from 7 feet 6 inches tall to
8 feet 7 inches had an average life
of thirty-four years. The oldest died
at forty-five, the youngest af twen

S WEEK
Hitler Defies the World
P OLITICAL turmoil spread over
Europe after Reichsfuehrer Adolf
Hitler, in an address to the reichs-
tag, declared his intention to make
Germany one of the
most powerful na
tions in the world,
gave warning that it
was re-arming and
did not fear war
though it desired
peace, and demand
ed the return of
Germany’s lost col
onies. Furthermore,
Hitler upheld the ag
gressive actions of
Italy and Japan,
ind asserted that Germany would
lot tolerate ultimate victory of the
ovalist faction in Spain over Fran-
Adolf Hitler
co’s rebel forces.
The Fuehrer told with gratifica
tion of his success in compelling
Chancellor Schuschnigg to give the
Austrian Nazis representation in
his cabinet and to permit them to
act as a political party. He gave
no assurance that the independence
of Austria would be preserved. He
openly threatened similar action
against Czechoslovakia unless the
Germans in that country were
granted “political liberty.”
Hitler’s speech might be summar
ized as a declaration that Germany
will ignore Great Britain, France
and other western powers in carry
ing out her international policies,
will continue her efforts to destroy
the last vestiges of the general set
tlements which followed the World
war; will insist that the “have not”
nations must be restored to a basis
of equality with the “have” pow
ers, and is prepared to defy any
combination of powers which may
be formed against her.
Here are some of the other things
Hitler told the reichstag:
Germany refuses to accept “cred
its or other promises” in substitu
tion for the colonies taken from her
by the treaty of Versailles.
Reports of dissension between the
Nazi hierarchy and the Reichswehr
are “nonsense” and in his new role
as supreme commander of the
Reich’s armed forces he has decid
ed to “strengthen the army to pre
vent the menace of war.”
Germany’s relations with Great
Britain can not be improved so long
as British statesmen and newspa
pers attempt to meddle with what
the Reich regards as its own in
ternal affairs.
Germany has no intention of re
turning to the League of Nations.
R
Lord Halifax
Halifax Succeeds Eden
EFUSING to go along with
Prime Minister Neville Cham
berlain in his plans to “buy” a
friendly settlement with Germany
and Italy, Capt. An
thony Eden, British
foreign secretary
who has fought the
ambitions of Euro
pean dictators for
two years, resigned
from the cabinet.
With him went Vis
count Cranborn, the
principal foreign un
dersecretary. V i s-
count Halifax was
appointed to suc
ceed Eden temporarily. This change
was in effect another triumph for
Hitler, was especially regretted by
France, and threatened to precipi
tate a serious crisis for the British
government.
Viscount Halifax, lord president
of the council and former viceroy of
India, is a personal friend of Hitler
and an insistent advocate of imme
diate friendship with Germany and
Italy, even at the cost of great con
cessions by Britain. He was sent
to Berlin not long ago to talk over
matters with the Nazi leaders.
Eden told the house of commons
that he had resigned rather than
deal with Italy in the face of Pre
mier Mussolini’s “rife, hostile prop
aganda” against Britain and II Du-
ce’s “glorification” of victories in
Spain.
Chamberlain boldly told the house
of commons that his government
would begin negotiations with^taly
at once in hopes of obtaining a
friendly settlement. He put forward
a four-power peace plan designed to
eliminate the dangers of war in Eu
rope. As members of the pact, he ad
vocated Germany, Italy, France,
and Britain.
Chamberlain went to Buckingham
palace and gave King George his
account of the events leading up to
Eden’s resignation, and then sum
moned Dino Grandi, Italian ambas
sador, to a conference. With them
were Halifax and Sir Alexander
Cadogan, permanent undersecre
tary for foreign affairs. It was
learned that the break between
Chamberlain and Eden came to a
climax a few days before when
Grandi and the prime minister
had a conference concerning the
basis on which negotiations might
be opened for a general understand
ing between London and Rome.
Some British leaders feel that
agreement with Mussolini for Medi
terranean security would give Brit
ain a stronger hand in dealing with
Germany on the question of col
onies.
French Worried,
DREMIER CHAUTEMPS and oth-
* er high French officials saw, in
Hitler’s words concerning German
minorities in other lands a definite
threat against Czechoslovakia, a
military ally of France, whose se
curity the French are bound to de
fend. There are about 3,000,000 Ger
mans in that country.
From Prague, the Czech capital,
came word that Czechoslovakia
would not even negotiate with Ger
many regarding autonomy for those
Germans and would not yield to co
ercion as did Austria. Officials said
that if negotiations are Hitler’s aim,
they would be regarded as “in
fringement of Czechoslovakia’s sov
ereignty, and therefore not accept
able.”
As for the prospective British-
Italian agreement, the French gov
ernment was fearful that Chamber
lain’s overtures to Mussolini would
take a course that France could not
follow without risk of alienating its
own Socialist and Communist ele
ments. The government, however,
was determined to keep unbroken
its close relations with Britain.
For Price Increases
DEFORE going to Hyde Park for
a short vacation, President
Roosevelt announced two moves de
signed to restore prosperity. He
declared the administration’s eco
nomic policies are being directed
toward a limited increase in prices,
to be achieved without inflation or
any substantial increase in the cost
of living.
He ordered the Reconstruction Fi
nance corporation to renew its lend
ing to industry and the railways.
The President specifically men
tioned farm prices as needing to be
increased. On the other hand, he
said certain other prices, such as
those in the building industry, have
remained at a high level for the
last few years.
No specific monetary action is
contemplated to increase those con
sidered too low, he added.
Earle Wants Toga
rjOV. GEORGE H. EARLE of
Pennsylvania announced his
candidacy for the Democratic nomi
nation for United States senator,
standing on his record as governor
and continued support of the Roose
velt administration.
“If elected a member of the sen
ate, I shall continue my Services on

tion and my own administration iz

Lesson for March 6
SERVING WITH WHAT WE HAVE
LESSON TEXT—Mark 6:1-13.
GOLDEN TEXT—Such as I have give I
thee.—Acts 3:6.
PRIMARY TOPIC—When Jesus Went
Home to Nazareth.
JUNIOR TOPIC—On tt Journey for Jesus.
INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC—
Serving With What We Have.
YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC—
Serving With What We Have.
One of the difficulties we mortals
face in dealing with spiritual things
is that we interpret things in the
realm of the spirit according to the
principles and measurements of the
physical world. We are quick to
say “We cannot” on the basis of
logical human reasoning, when an
appreciation of the power of God
operative on our behalf would en
able us to say “We can,” and hav
ing left God out of our thinking we
find that indeed we cannot.
The lesson before us presents two
pictures from our Lord’s second vis
it to his home country, Nazareth.
On His first visit they had tried to
thrust Him over the precipice, and
He in all the glory and poise of the
Son of God had walked through their
midst and gone His way. Now He
comes again with His disciples. We
then see how His home folk virtual
ly made the power of the omnipo
tent God impotent because of their
unbelief. On the other hand we see
the weakness of men made mighty
because of obedience to the com
mand of God.
I. The Paralysis of Unbelief (w.
1-6).
The world, the flesh, and the devil
have brought forth a dark list of
wicked things, but perhaps the most
destructive and distressing of all is
the foundation sin of unbelief. When
we think back to the'"underlying
reason for any sin or weakness in
man it will be found that there is
a failure to believe God. Men do
not believe what He says about sin
and its penalty, nor do they believe
Him when He offers them grace and
strength for victory.
At Nazareth the unbelief which
limited the Son of God revealed it
self in two questions—
1. “Whence hath this man these
things?” (v. 2).
They could not deny His mighty
works so they turn their attack on
His person. “Is not this the car
penter?” (v. 3). Essentially this
was envy, “the difficulty of ac
knowledging the superiority over
themselves of one of their own num
ber” . . . (Morgan).
We are ashamed of the attitude
of the men of Nazareth, but we
follow in their footsteps. Heavy
among the burdens a Christian
worker must bear is the unbelief
and ridicule of his own people. Be
cause a man has sold us groceries,
or painted our house or driven a
taxi in our town we cannot see
how he could ever be a preacher
or a missionary. Well, he can, and
it is such folk that God often calls.
2. “What is this wisdom?” (v. 2).
The wisdom of Jesus was the wis
dom of God (John 7:16). But how
could they know that? How can \ve
know? In John 7:17 Jesus gave the
answer: “If any man will do his
will, he shall know of the doctrine,
whether it be of God, or whether I
speak of myself.” We see then
that the reason for their unbelief
was really an unwillingness to do
the will of God. The controlling
motive of their life was wrong. Had
they been moved by a desire to do
God’s will, and a purpose to live in
accordance therewith (even though
there might have been failure in
that earnest effort), they would
have known that Jesus had His wis
dom from God.
II. The Power of Divine Commis
sion (vv. 7-13).
Just a» unbelief hinders even the
Son of God, so faith in God and
obedience to His command makes
of weak and poorly equipped men
the mighty servants of God. In fact,
their very dependence on Him for
all things sets them free to devote
themselves fully to the ministry of
preaching and healing.
Note that they went “two by
two.” We have forgotten that di
vine plan, and often send men into
remote and dangerous pioneer work
—alone. Man needs fellowship; he
needs counsel and control.
Consider also how they were to
learn to trust God for their daily
sustenance (vv. 8,9). They suffered
no lack (see Luke 22:35). These
rules for the life of religious work
ers were modified later (Luke 22:
36), but the principle remains the
same—the man or woman who is
not ready to depend on God for
everything had better not set out
to follow Him. It is a blessed and
delightful life!
Resisting Interference
It is someljmes pretty hard to do
something you feel is right against
the interference of all the world and
her little brother. Sometimes it’s a
good thing to say “right or wrong,
that’s my story, and I’m going to
stick to it,” no matter how many
well-meaning friends may advise
otherwise.—Guise Vapel.

“The future destiny of the child
is always the work of the mother.”

King Coal
Statistics disclose a most un
usual finding. Since the Amer
ican colonies formed a country of
their own in 1776, mined coal tops
in value that of mined silver and
gold. Since that year coal mined
in the United States—up to last
year—had a market value of
$41,271,000,000.
This is about six times the value
of all the gold and silver mined in
this country during the same pe
riod. The produced coal value
was enough to pay the govern
ment’s current debt in full and
still be $5,000,000,000 to the good.

Relieve Their Misery
This Proved Way
W hen your child comes down
with a cold, you can’t afford
to take needless risks. Use the
treatment that has been doubly
proved for you—Vicks VapoRub.
It has been proved by everyday
use in more homes than any other
medication of its kind—further
proved by the largest clinical tests
ever made on colds. (Full details
in every VapoRub package.) Only
Vicks give you proof like this.
Vicks VapoRub is direct external
treatment. There’s
no dosing—no risk of
spoiling appetite, or
disturbing a delicate
digestion. VapoRub
can be used freely,
as often as needed, even on the
youngest child.
You simply massage VapoRub
on throat, chest, and back (as illus
trated). Then—to make its long-
continued double action last even
longer—spread a thick layer on the
chest and cover with a warmed
cloth.
No Long Waiting for Relief to begin...
Almost before you finish rubbing,
the youngster begins to feel warm
and comfortable as VapoRub goes
to work direct through the skin
like a poultice. At the same time
its medicated vapors, released by
the warmth of the body, are carried
direct to the irritated air-passages
with every breath.
This double action loosens phlegm
—relieves irritation and coughing
—helps break up local congestion.
And long after the little oae re
laxes into restful sleep, VapoRub
keeps right on working—hour after
hour. Often,
