N EW YORK.—As a token of good

of Turkey sends his bomb-tossing
adopted daughter on a flight over

Feminine Balkans. She holds

Kurds, having out-
scored veteran male fliers in a re
cent work-out.
When the timid and demure Turk
ish women started coming out from
the harem, they kept right on going.
They aeem to be out-distancing our
girls who are merely coming out of
the kitchen.
Turkey's “Flying Amazon” is Sa-
biha Gueckchen, twenty-four-year-
old daughter of a Turkish army cap
tain who was killed fighting Greeks
* in 1921. She is a pretty little thing.
An admiring woman corre
spondent described her as “shy
and demure,” with quick re
course to her “modish little van
ity case,” as she climbed from
her plane after a hard day’s
bombing. That was in the Der-
' aim area, in eastern Anatolia, in
which she had been blasting the
Kurds out of their caves.
She is a first lieutenant in the
Turkish army, the only woman air
force officer in the world.
Her French flying instructor says
she is the most gifted woman acro
batic pilot in the
world. She was
trained in flying
and gliding in
Russia and later
was a cadet in the Turkish army
air force school. She rides a single-
seated military plane, handles all
types of planes and is especially
accurate and skillful in bombing.
It is said no aviator in Turkey
can match her in diving and stunt
ing, hut she shrinks modestly from
all such, possibly unfeminine, exhi
bitionism, and sticks to her hum
drum bombing tasks.

LT ERE is another diverting little
news note, in sharp contrast,
however, on the emergence of the
modern woman. At her home in
New York, Mrs. Lewis Stuyvesant
Chanler presents prizes of $750 to
the winners of the annual “Intel
lectual Olympics,” conducted by her
new history society.
Happily the flying bomb put is
not included in her decathlon. She
has been for many
years a diligent
and earnest advo
cate of peace and
brotherhood, work
ing through the international Ba
haist movement, of which she has
long been a leader. She derives
from the Blue book and has turned
from society to religious and hu
manitarian concerns.
Her husband, now retired, is
a great-grandson of John Jacob
Astor, and a former lieutenant
governor of New York. He is a
big, gray, silent man, walking a
small white poodle dog, rarely
seen at his wife’s salon, but a
loyal partner in her endeavors.
He is the brother of the late Bob
and John Chanler.
The flaming-haired Valeska Suratt
was an instrument of fate in the life
of Mrs. Chanler. They were jointly
engaged in a Hollywood script enter
prise when Miss Suratt introduced
her to Mirza .Ahmed fiahfab, .de
scendant of Mohammed and a dis
ciple of the Abdul Baha. He was
her tutor in the esoteric faith whose
followers, like those of the Oxford
movement, fervently believe the
world can be saved only by a re
ligious and cultural international
ism.

Veterans of Gettysburg Celebrate Together on Reid
of the Crucial Civil War Battle
Here is the new Peace Memorial in the Gettysburg National Military
park which was dedicated by President Roosevelt during the celebration
of the 75th anniversary of the Battle of Gettysburg, in which veterans of
the Northern and Southern armies participated. On the top of the shaft
burns “The Flame of Eternal Peace.”

Yanks and Johnny Rebs
CEVENTY-FIVE years after they
^ faced each other in deadly con
flict, some 2,000 old soldiers gath
ered in friendly concert to celebrate
the great Battle of Gettysburg. The
Stars and Stripes and the Stars and
Bars flew side by side on the once
bloody field, and the veterans of
the Northern and Southern armies
that fought there in one of history’s
biggest battles wandered together
over the hills and meadows or sat
in their tented city, exchanging rem
iniscences and renewing old friend
ships.
The war department had done ev
erything possible to make the now
feeble old warriors comfortable and
safe, and the Pennsylvania National
Guard and Boy Scouts attended
carefully to their every want. There
were feasts, parades, and military
displays in plenty, but the veterans
were not called on to do the enter
taining. They were the entertained.
In the Gettysburg National Mili-
tery park, comprising the battle
field, had been erected a beautiful
peace memorial, and President
Roosevelt was there to dedicate it
on the afternoon of July 3. At
the top of the monument’s shaft is a
burner for natural gas that sup
plies “The Flame of Eternal
Peace.” This was kindled by the
President as the climax of the day’s
celebration.
\ There were no re-enactments of
battle scenes. The observance was
all of peace, and peace and harmony
of all the land breathed all through
the talks made by Mr. Roosevelt
and other speakers.
From a common platform Com-
mander-in-Chief Overton H. Mennet
of the Grand Army of the Republic
and Commander-in-Chief John M.
Claypool of the United (Confederate
Veterans spoke to their comrades.

Works Progress
Administrator Har
ry L. Hopkins de
nied that the WPA
„ „ .. has been made a po-
Harry Hopkins Utical instnunent in
Kentucky.
In a statement accompanied by
exhaustive documentary evidence,
Hopkins challenged 22 charges that
his agency has subjected WPA
workers to political pressure. He
said the facts do not substantiate
the charges, but reiterated his
promises of summary and stringent
action in all cases where political
coercion could be proved.
“Every charge in which a WPA
worker or official was named has
been thoroughly investigated and
documentary evidence conclusively
establishes that out of more than a
score of cases in which political ac
tivity was alleged, only two in
stances of improper conduct could
be found,” he said.
Hopkins’ statement referred to a
series of articles on the Kentucky
senatorial primary fight between Al-
ben W. Barkley, senate majority
leader, and Gov. A. B. (“Happy”)
Chandler. The articles enumerated
specific instances where, it was as
serted, political pressure was being
exerted on relief workers in behalf
of Barkley.

Real Drive on Depression
\\Z ITH the start of the new fiscal
year the administration began
what the President calls “the real
drive on depression.” In the com
ing fiscal year relief agencies, army
and navy, public works departments
and federal lending corporations
may pour out approximately $8,500,-
000,000. Some of this money is re
turnable to the treasury.
Administration officials said this
huge sum—equal to more than $66
for every person in the nation—was
needed because there are approxi
mately 10,500,000 unemployed in the
country. This estimate, furnished
by a federal economist, was 4,500,-
000 higher than last October, when
the recession’s effect became visi
ble.
Officials left little doubt they hope
to get business positively on the up
grade by Labor day, although econ
omists estimated it would take a
year from the upturn to recover
the ground lost since last summer.
Upholds Free Press
PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT deliv-
1 ered two speeches in New York,
on thfe site of the world’s fair that
is being built. First he spoke at
the laying of the cornerstone of the
federal building at the exposition
after dabbling in cement with a sil
ver trowel.
Then the Chief Executive ap
peared before a convention of the
National Education association, and
declared that the mission of Amer
ica is to carry the torch of free
thought and free learning in a world
in which dictators have smothered
the fires of freedom.
He did not mention Nazi Germany
or Fascist Italy by name, but he
condemned in most positive lan
guage such purges as burned libra
ries, exiled scientists, artists, musi
cians, writers and teachers, dis
persed universities and censored
news, literature and art.
“If in other 4ands the press is
censored,” Mr. Roosevelt declared,
“we must redouble our efforts here
to keep it free. If in other lands
the eternal truths of the past are
threatened by intolerance, we must
provide a safe place here for their
perpetuation.”
In his address to the teachers the
President warmly defended the
spending of his administration on
the ground that the outlays of fed
eral money had increased national
and human resources.
“The only real capital of a nation
is its natural resources and its hu
man beings,” he said. “So long as
we take care ,of and make the most
of both of them we shall survive as
a strong nation, a successful na
tion, and a progressive nation—
whether or not the bookkeepers say
other kinds of budgets are from
time to time out of balance.
“This capital structure—natural
resources and human beings—has to
be maintained at all times. The
plant has to be kept up and new
capital put in yearly to meet in
creasing needs. If we skimp on
that capital, if we exhaust our na
tional resources and weaken the ca
pacity of our human beings, then
we shall go the way of all weak
nations.”
Strike at New York Fair
\/f ORE than 6,000 workers were
affected by a general strike of
construction men at the New York
world’s fair, called by the Building
Trades and Construction council,
an affiliate of the American Federa
tion of Labor. All construction work
was tied up except structural steel
work. The strike was precipitated
by a jurisdictional dispute.

DEBORAH: EMERGENCY
LEADERSHIP
LESSON TEXT—Judges 4:1-9. 12-14.
GOLDEN TEXT—Who knoweth whether
thou art come to the kingdom for such a
time as this?—Esther 4:14.
PRIMARY TOPIC—Why Deborah Sang.
4 JUNIOR TOPIC—Why Deborah Sang.
INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC—
Ready for Emergencies.
YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC—
Leadership.
‘•Every man did that which was
right in his own eyes.” Such is the
divine summary of what was wrong
in Israel during the period of the
judges (Judges 21:25). “There was
no king in Israel,” no competent
and inspiring leadership. The people
lived according to the whims of the
day, and, as always, humanity left
to itself drifted to lower and lower
levels. This was true morally and
spiritually and ultimately political
ly, for they came * repeatedly into
bondage to other nations and were
only delivered as God raised up
judges to lead them to repentance
and victory, as well as to rule over
them.
I. A People in Disorder (vv. 1-3).
Any people that forgets God and
begins to live after the dictates of
the flesh will at length come to the
place where some strong man with
“chariots of iron” will rule over
them. We, in America, look at the
other nations of the world, viewing
their plight with sympathy but ever
assuring ourselves that “it can’t
happen here.” We ought to arouse
ourselves and face the facts lest
our own land, happy in its posses
sion of God’s great blessings of
“life, liberty, and the pursuit of
happiness,” abuse those privileges,
neglect the worship of God, spurn
the leadership He gives us, and be
come “lovers of pleasure more than
lovers of God; having a form of
godliness, but denying the power
thereof” (II Tim. 3:4, 5). If we do
not awake and repent the Lord may
have to “sell” us, as He did Israel,
into the hands of the oppressor.
II. A Leader Called of God (w.
4-9).
God always has His man ready
for the hour of need—only in this
case His man was a woman. Glori
ous indeed is the record of faithful
and capable womanhood in annals
of God’s work on earth. Deborah
was a woman of unique gifts—a
poetess, a prophetess, and withal
“the wife of Lapidoth,” evidently a
woman who cared well for her own
household.
Brains and natural ability are
much needed, especially in a time
such as ours when few there are
who even care to think for them
selves and few who have any desire
to develop native ability except for
the purpose of “making money.”
But true leadership calls for more
than talent and intelligence; it calls
for a burning in the soul, a divine
zeal, the urge of God in the heart.
Deborah had this fiery touch upon
her life. Barak, while undoubtedly
a man of ability, evidently did not
have it. Many excuses have been
offered for the weakness indicated
in verse eight. It has been said
that he was cautious, or that he
wanted to give the place of honor
to Deborah as the leader of her
people. These suggestions may be
true, but somehow one has the feel
ing that what he really lacked was
the “flaming heart.” May God give
it to us, that ip our much doing of
His work the divine fire may warm
and inspire us!
III. A Divine Victory (vv. 12-14).
God gave Deborah and Barak a
great victory, but note that it was
God and not man who brought about
the defeat of Jabin (Judges 4:15, 23).
It was a complete victory and the
enemies of Israel troubled them no
more for many a day.
Dr. Wilbur M. Smith aptly points
out that we should look “upon these
conflicts in the book of Judges as
certainly symbols of the great con
flict that every Christian knows as
he wrestles, not with flesh and blood,
but against principalities and pow
ers, against the world-rulers of
darkness and spiritual wickedness
in heavenly places. Victory is
certain only when the Lord is with
us and only when we walk in His
will and contend against evil in
His power. We are more than con
querors, but only through the Lord
Jesus Christ” (Peloubet’s Select
Notes).
In closing this lesson the writer
of these notes wishes to recognize
the blessing of God in enabling him
to complete two years of this serv
ice to Him and to His people. He
also wishes to thank those readers
in every state of the Union and in
a number of foreign countries who
have written to him words of appre
ciation, encouragement and counsel.
Value of Meditation
It is not he that reads most, but
he that meditates most on Divine
truth, that will prove the choicest,
wisest, strongest Christian.—Bishop
Hall.
Attaining Perfection
The warm loves and fears, that
swept over us as clouds, must lose
their finite character and blend with
God, to attain their own perfec
tion.—Emerson.

The Miracle of Milk
Noted Food Authority Explains Why It Is
the Cheapest and Most
Nearly Perfect Food
By C. HOUSTON GOUDISS
6 East 39th Street, New York City.
O F ALL the foods known and used by man, milk is su
preme. It is a miracle of perfection—a veritable elixir
of life.
Milk has powers possessed by no other food. It builds sturdy
bodies for infants; strong bones and sound teeth for growing
children; helps to maintain vitality in adults; and to delay
the onset of old age. ®
It contains a greater assort
ment of nutritive materials than
any other single food. It is the
foundation of every balanced
diet. Considering the services it
performs for mankind—from in
fancy to old age—it is the cheap
est food we have.
Milk is so many-sided that I al
ways think of it as the Benjamin
Franklin of foods.
It is a vast treas
ure chest of nutri
ents — the most
complex product of
nature’s chemistry.
It contains nearly
every chemical el
ement of the body
itself, in propor
tions adapted for
quick and easy as
similation.
Milk fulfills six
essential requirements of a per
fect diet.
First: It supplies carbohydrate
and fat for heat and energy.
Second: It furnishes protein that
is suitable for building new tissues
and repairing the millions of cells
that are worn out daily.
Third: It yields minerals which
build bones and teeth and regulate
the subtle internal processes of
the body.
Fourth: It contains every known
vitamin in\ some degree and is
abundantly supplied with the vita
mins ■ that are necessary to
growth, to the smooth running of
the body machine, and to the pre
vention of many types of infec
tion.
Fifth: It contains water, to act
as a solvent, a carrier and regu
lator.
Sixth: It is easily digestible.
This brief summary helps to ex
plain the unique place of milk in
nutrition. Think of it! In one
food, we find protein of the high
est type; carbohydrate and fat;
all the vitamins; every one of the
minerals demanded by the human
body; water; and an easy digesti
bility that readily changes these
ingredients into vigorous life.
—★—
The Biggest Food Bargain
We occasionally hear the charge
that milk is too high in price—that
it is a luxury to afford enough of
this master food to supply a quart
daily for every child—at least a
pint for each adult. That is ridic
ulous! The cost of milk is much
cheaper than the cost of illness.
And milk is not a luxury, but an
indispensable necessity.
I contend that no homemaker
can afford not to boy milk in ade-
quate amounts—that if she desires
health, efficiency and longevity
for her family, she must provide
a sufficient amount of milk be
fore she purchases any other food.
—★—
A Food for Children and Adults
Humankind needs milk as the
flowers in the garden and the
grains in the field need the bless
ing of rain.
Deprived of milk, children de
velop a multitude of ills. They
become thin and weak; their re
sistance is low; they fall easy vic
tims to the germs of disease;
there is small hope of their reach
ing normal manhood and woman
hood.
Nor is milk only a food for chil
dren. It is likewise essential for
adults who desire to live longer,
happier, and healthier lives—to

—★—
Milk for Pep and Power
A quart of milk daily supplies
from two-thirds to three-fourths of
the total calories required by a
year-old child. ( For a five-year
old, it provides about half the
day’s fuel requirements, and for
a ten-year old, one-third. Even a
moderately active man could ob
tain one-fourth of his energy re
quirements from a quart of this
precious fluid. It is also interest
ing to note that five-eighths cup of
milk is equivalent in energy value
to one and one-third eggs, or two
and one-fourth ounces of lean
beef.
A quart of milk yields more
than an ounce of pure protein of
the highest quality. Moreover, nu
trition authorities hold that under
normal conditions, it is the most
completely digested and absorbed
of all food proteins.
—★—
Milk for Miner ala
As a sdurce of calcium, milk is
indispensable. Without milk, it is
practically impossible for the
body to obtain enough of this cap
tain of the minerals N for normal
skeletal development.
It has been estimated that when
the calcium requirement is met
through the use of milk, the need
for phosphorus will also be ade
quately provided.
Though milk is not as good a
source of iron as of calcium and
phosphorus, the iron is present
and in a form that can be easily
utilized by the body.
—★—
Milk for Vitamins
Milk is so rich in vitamins A
and G, that the addition* of a quart ’
of milk daily to a good mixed diet
practically guarantees against a
deficiency of either of these pre
cious substances which promote
growth, help build resistance to
disease, prolong the prime of life,
and help to ward off old age.
It also furnishes a considerable
amount of vitamin B, which pro
motes appetite, aids digestion and
helps to prevent a nervous dis
order.
Milk contains a relatively small
amount of vitamin D, but this can
be remedied in both bottled and
evaporated milk by irradiation, or
the addition of a vitamin D con
centrate. It is less dependable.as
a source of vitamin C than any
other vitamin, as the amount it
naturally contains varies with the
diet of the cow and is reduced by
pasteurization or evaporation.
This deficiency is easily made
good, however, \ by adding to the
diet fresh fruits and fruit juices
and raw leafy vegetables.
—★—
In Praise of Milk Producers
As milk is man’s finest food, the
men who are occupied with its
production are engaged in the
world’s most important pursuit.
They labor to provide the nation
with a pure, safe, clean supply of
the food that makes life worth
while for children and helps to
prolong life for adults.
Let no one say that milk is ex
pensive. Rather let every home
maker come to realize that this
magnificent food would be CHEAP
AT ANY PRICE!
