G ROWN-UP motion picture
players feel terribly neg
lected these days. They figured
that when the first excitement
over the animated drawings
that make up “Snow White and
the Seven Dwarfs” was over
they would come back into the
limelight again.
But along came the world’s be
loved blockhead, Charlie McCarthy,
in “Goldwyn Follies” to distract at
tention from mere humans, and
next “The River,” a picture without
any actors whatever became the
talk of the entertainment world.
Now mere children have romped in
and taken all the attention away
from their elders.
Judy Garland, Metro-Goldwyn-
Mayer’s fourteen-year-old singing
star, is enjoying huge success on a
personal appearance tour, and the
even-younger Tommy Kelly and Ann
Gillis of “Tom Sawyer” have cap
tivated several cities they have vis
ited. They had the great thrill of
being received informally at the
White House, they visited Mark
Twain’s home town to place a
wreath on his grave, and in between
times they saw the sights of New
York.
June Lang, Ethel Merman, and
Cesar Romero have been flying all
over the country attending openings
of “In Old Chicago” and audiences
were so appreciative of the oppor
tunity to see players face to face
that Twentieth Century-Fox plans to
June Lang
stage gala openings for many of
their pictures in the future. You
won’t have to go to Hollywood or
New York to attend openings with
the stars in the future.

Three young men singers have
become big radio favorites in the
past few weeks and by next year
radio executives figure they will all
be top-ranking stars. John Carter,
who replaced Nelson Eddy on the
Charlie McCarthy hour, is an ex-
farmer and vaudeville dancer. Fe
lix Knight, who in addition to his
own Sunday morning program has
been appearing with Leo Reisman’s
orchestra, comes from Florida, via
Hollywood, and is much too young
to have had any career other than
singing. Glenn Darwin, the rich-
toned barytone whom you have
^probably heard on the Magic Key
program, was a famous soprano at
the age of nine. He made a record
of “Ave Maria” then that is still
held up as a model of perfection to
choir boys.

The Lead Engine Took a Nose Dive.
when all of a sudden he saw John Cunningham go into action. “He was
grabbing for the whistle—grabbing for the brake valve—grabbing for
the reverse lever,” says John, “and it seemed to me as if he was grabbing
for all of them at the same time.
Off the Track at Full Speed.
“I jumped to the left cab window. I was just in time to see a
• section gang scattering to the fields—and in time to get a shower of
ballast full in the face. We had struck a hand-car loaded with
iron rails.”
John reeled back under the force of the blow he had received. Fo*
a second or two the big engine seemed to be riding the rails. Then John
felt the wheels bump off onto the ties. “The emergency brake,” he says,
“was almost useless. We had been tearing downhill and around those
curves with the throttle as wide open as it was safe to have it on that par
ticular stretch of track. Our speed was almost forty-five miles an
hour at the time, and behind us were another locomotive and forty heavy
carloads of coal, shoving us along with the momentum they had gathered
in that downhill run.”
There was no hope of stopping that train, and John says that there
wasn’t any possibility of jumping, either. The big engine was rocking
and swaying so badly that neither John nor Cunningham could stand
long enough to jump. “All we could do,” he says, “was to grab what
ever we could get hold of in the cab and hang onto it.”
All that happened in just a couple of seconds, and things were
happening so fast that John didn’t even have time to think.
But afterwards he could recall vividly sensations that he wasn’t even
aware of at the time. “Was I scared?” he says. “I don’t know. Things
were coming so fast that I don’t think I had time to be frightened. For
more than forty feet we rode the ties, and then bumped out on a trestle
bridge. We ran sixty more feet out on that, and then the lead engine—
the one I was in—took a nose dive to the right, keeled over on her side
and began sliding down a thirty-foot bank.”
He Got Out Just in Time.
John and John Cunningham were still in the cab—still fighting for
equilibrium—for a foothold that would give them a chance to jump. The
engine slid down the bank and came to rest in a hog wallow beyond the
right-of-way fence. The minute it stopped, John was at the window and
on his way out, with John Cunningham crowding behind him.
They were out the window so fast that it seemed as if both of them
had gone through together. But at that, they weren’t a second too soon.
Just as they cleared the cab, a steam tube let go—burst with a roar that
cleared the cab out as clean as dynamite could have cleaned it, and
two hundred pounds of steam pressure flooded the spot they had just
left with hot, scalding death. Only a second’s delay and both John and
Cunningham would have died back there in the engine cab—cooked to
death in an instant by the jet of live steam.
“The second engine,” says John, “bumped into our tender and turned
off to the left, but the crew escaped injury in almost the same miracu
lous manner that we did. None of the coal cars piled up on top of
either engine, as they usually do in such accidents, and that was almost
another miracle. Since that time I’ve had many a spill and been in many
a wreck. In some of them I’ve sustained injuries. But none of those
close calls ever gave me anything like the thrill I got out of this one
in which I wasn’t even scratched.”

Monster Out of Hand
By FLOYD GIBBONS
Famous Headline Hunter
H ello everybody:
John J. Boner of Chicago has been firing a locomotive
since 1906. He says that in that time he has had many a thrill
—as what railroad man from engineer right along to conductor
hasn’t? But the biggest thrill in all John Boner’s railroading
career came to him on September 10, 1910, when he was firing
an engine on the Milwaukee.
John was working west out of Perry, Iowa, and early in the morning
he was called to fire on a double-header coal train. John was on the
lead engine, and John Cunningham was the engineer. The train, John
says, consisted of forty carloads of coal behind two Baldwin com
pound engines.
The train pulled out of Perry in some of the finest weather
John had ever seen in his life. “The beauty of the day,” he says,
“seemed to impart something of its zest to our engines, and we
made the wheels sing on those forty cars as we pushed the big
locomotives along. From Perry to Council Bluffs, the road was
all single track and water grades.”
Up and Down the Water Grades.
For the benefit of us lubbers who don’t know what a water grade
Is, John explains it to us. Those water grades get their name from the
fact that a water tower is always set on the top of a hill whenever pos
sible, so a train, after stopping to take on water, can get up momentum
again by coasting downgrade. Water grades were just a series of ups
and downs in the track, and with a heavy train you go as fast as you can
turn a wheel down one hill in order to get up the next.
They cleared half a dozen of those grades, and everything was going
fine. The train topped a hill east of Manning, Iowa, and John Cunning
ham opened the throttle and the train roared downgrade through a series
of curves, gathering momentum for the next climb.
They were rounding the last curve, a mile east of Manning, when it
happened. John was tossing a few scoopfuls of coal into the firebox,

“My God shall supply all your
need according to his riches in glory
by Christ Jesus” (Phil. 4:19). Such
is the assurance of God’s Word.
Countless Christians have proved it
to be true that they may trust God
to supply every need—temporal or
spiritual.
The lesson for today first presents
the disciples as they had come back
from their preaching expedition and
presented to the Lord Jesus a re
port of their stewardship in minis
tering the bread of life to the spir
itually needy. He invites them to
a place apart from the busy walks
of daily life for a time of com
munion and rest. The multitude
would not be denied, however, and
follow our Lord to the desert place.
Having taught them, Jesus has op
portunity to instruct His disciples
in the important ministry of supply
ing for those in need the bread for
their bodies.
I. The Ministry of the Bread of
Life.
Reports of accomplishments in
the field of Christian work (al
though sometimes an earnest ac
counting of stewardship of service
and money) are all too often pre
pared for the purpose of impressing
men and seeking their financial as
sistance. The real report is the
one which disciples make to their
Lord. It concerns two vital points.
1. “What they had done” (v. 30).
One of the temptations which face
the preacher and teacher of Chris
tian truth is to avoid unpleasant
and difficult problems by simply
proclaiming the truth and doing
nothing about the outworking of that
truth in daily living. It sounds very
pious to say that we will present
the Word and let it do its own work,
but the Christian worker who
evades his duty to deal at close
grips with sin and disorder in the
church and community has not dis
charged his responsibility to Christ.
2. “What they had taught” (v. 30).
The second temptation of the
preacher is to follow the specious
reasoning of the modernist who says
that it does not matter what a man
believes, it is what he does that
counts. The foundation of Christian
character is Christian doctrine,
therefore the disciple of Christ must
know what to teach, and give ac
count to the Lord for his teaching.
Teaching and doing the command
ments of God go hand in hand.
II. The Ministry of Daily Bread.
Jesus found no rest, for the mul
titudes followed Him to the other
side of the lake. Ere long the eve
ning approaches, and the disciples
begin to be concerned about how
this great multitude is' to be fed.
They follow the inclinations of the
flesh and decide to solve the prob
lem by asking Jesus to
1. “Send them away” (v. 36).
The church has followed their ex
ample in dealing with the social
problems of the people down
through the years. The result is
that being denied fellowship, com
fort, and help by a church which
was too busy building up a vast or
ganization or a beautiful order of
worship, the common people have
responded to the appeal of political
leaders who have provided a sub
stitute for what the church should
have given them.
Serious thoughts are these. It will
not do for us to “send them away”
from the church empty hearted and
empty handed. Our Lord says—
2. “Give ye them to eat” (v. 37).
Reckoning hastily on what a small
boy had brought for his lunch (trust
an alert boy to be ready!), the dis
ciples soon demonstrate that it is
impossible to feed this great throng.
Logic is such a devastating thing
when it operates apart from faith
in God. They were absolutely right
in their reasoning and in their cal
culations, but they had forgotten the
one factor that really counted. Jesus
was there, and Jesus is God, and
God is omnipotent.
3. “He commanded . . . and they
did all eat” (vv. 39, 42).
When God speaks all the limita
tions of the finite disappear, and the
needs of men are fully met—with
“twelve baskets full of fragments”
left over!
Let those who labor in difficult
places with limited resources take
heart—and trust God.
Pineapple Cream for Plain Cake.
V4 ANY times the dessert ques-
1V - 1 tion is a difficult one to de
cide upon, and ♦here are other
times when there is some pound
cake, gingerbread, or plain butter
cake left that needs to be made
interesting to tempt the family.
When these two situations meet,
you will find that pineapple cream
to serve over slices of any one of
the kinds of cake will be just the
trick to ptoduce a lovely dessert.
Pineapple Cream.
8 oz. can crushed pineapple
Vt pint pastry cream
% cup marmalade, jam or Jelly
Drain the juice from the pine
apple and save it to use for some
thing else, or just drinjs it. Whip
the cream until stiff. Blend the
cream with the drained pineapple
and the marmalade, jam or jelly.
By varying the kind of jam used
the whole tone or flavor of the
cream can be changed, and you
will find any flavor blends well
with the pineapple. Serve the pine
apple cream over slices of the
chosen cake.
Our Presidents
Zachary Taylor was interred
without burial services.
President Wilson’s baptismal
name was Thomas Woodrow,
but in early life he discarded
the Thomas. During his public
career he was known as Wood-
row Wilson.
Franklin Delano Roosevelt
was the first President to be
inaugurated in January.
Theodore Roosevelt (in 1906)
and Woodrow Wilson (in 1918) •
were awarded the Nobel peace
prize.
Washington was the only
President to have a state
named after him.
MEN LOVE GIRLS

If you are peppy and full of fun, men will in
vite you to dances and partiea. BUT, if you
are cross, lifeless and tired, men won’t be
interested. Men don’t like “quiet" girls.

Wisdom
Wisdom allows nothing to be good
that will not be so forever; no man
to be happy but he that needs no
other happiness than what he has
within himself; no man to be great
or powerful that is not master of
himself.—Seneca.
» Longings
Every longing should become an
active impulse in the soul. Our
longing should lead us into all paths
of Christly service and all heroic
duty.
Secret With One
Three may keep a secret if two
of them are dead.—Franklin.
Watch Your
Kidneys/
Help Them Cleanse the Blood
of Harmful Body Waste
Your kidneys are constantly filtering
waste matter from the blood stream. But
kidneys sometimes lag in their work—do
not act as Nature intended—fail to re
move impurities that, if retained, may
poison the system ymd upset the whole
body machinery.
Symptoms may be nagging backache,
persistent headache, attacks of dizziness,
getting up nights, swelling, puffiness
under the eyes—a feeling of nervous
anxiety and loss of pep and strength.
Other signs of kidney or bladder dis
order may be burning, scanty or too
frequent urination.
There should be no doubt that prompt
treatment is wiser than neglect. Use
Doan’s Pills. Doan’s have been winning
new friends for more than forty years.
