McCOSMICK MESSENGER. McCORMTCK S. C THURSDAY. JULY 13, 1939 Strange Facts V Regional Moods Ears to Hear With Who Is Perfect? Motion-picture producers, wish ing to adapt movies to different regional tastes, have been known to make pictures with two types ot endings—a tragic one for the East and West coasts and a happy one for the Middle West. ' Among the remarkable physical features that have been produced in animals through selective breeding are the enormous ears of the “lop-eared” rabbits. Some on record are six inches wide by twenty-eight inches long. In at least 90 per cent of the American people, the left eye is nearer to the nose than the right eye. An analysis of the 400 most im portant inventions and discoveries made throughout the world In the past 400 years shows that 95 per cent of them originated in four countries: United States, Great Britain, France and Germany. Probably no man who ever lived has shot firearms as many times as a rifle tester in the Win chester plant in New Haven, Conn. During his 52 years on this job, he has tried out and approved about 2,500,000 rifles with approx imately 17,000,000 shots. The tropical American vine called the ceriman, Monstera de- liciosa, bears a peculiar fruit that resembles a pine cone and is about a foot in length. This fruit deteriorates inch by inch as it ripens, and must be eaten as it matures, a period that extends over several days.—Collier’s. KEEP COOL WITH REFRIGERATOR MEALS Sec Recipes Below. CRUTCHES | ' HERE are too many Americans advocating the construction of cratches to pat under the arms of indi viduals and too few expounding the ideals which made America great.”— U. S. Senator William H. King. Here’s a Good Reason You’re Constipated! When there’s something wrong with you, the first rule Is: oet at the cause. If you are constipated, don’t endure it first and cure It afterward. Find out what’s giving you the trouble. Chances are it’s simple If you eat the super-refined foods most people do: meat, white bread, potatoes. It’s likely you don’t get enough "bulk" And ,r bulk” doesn’t mean a lot of food. It’s a kind of food that Isn’t consumed In the body, but leaves a soft “bulky” mass In the Intestines and helps a bowel movement. If this Is your trouble, you should eat a natural “bulk” pro ducing food-such a one as the crunchy, toasted, ready-to-eat cereal—Kellogg’s All-Bran. All- Bran Is the ounce of prevention f pr that’s worth a pound of emer gency relief. Eat It every day, drink plenty of water, and "Join the Regulars.” All-Bran Is made by Kellogg’s In Battle Creek.

Refrigerator Meals It’s a smart stunt to get meal preparation out of the way in the cool of the morning. Knowing that dinner’s ready and practically wait ing to be served helps you to look and feel cool, calm and collect ed, and it leaves you free for “vacationing” during the hot hours of the day. Here’s a menu that can be pre pared in the morning, almost down to the last sprig of parsley, so that it wiH be ready to serve at the ap pointed dinner hour with only a little additional work.

Pure Cellulose Curtains Look Like Rare Chintzes Pure cellulose curtains that look like printed linens and rare chintzes are making home-decorating history for 1939. So low is their cost that an entire house can be redraped for less than $10, and when the cur tains are soiled they can be thrown away and replaced for a cost equal to or less than the cost of launder ing. Looking like vellum and feeling like fine percale, these materials are soft, pliable, with permanent drapa- bility and “hand.” They are avail able in a wide number of patterns and designs in rich, sunfast colors. Coming completely finished and ready to hang, with matching tie- backs, the drapes are sold in three lengths. Little Niceties Make Cheerful Guest Room Summer guests will appreciate a cheerful guest room—one that has Its own style furniture and not just miscellaneous discarded pieces. Es sential as the bed itself are a chest of drawers for odds and ends, a smart vanity for the feminine visitor and a bedside lamp and table. A chaise longue and some good books and magazines will help take care of those in between moments. Most important of all, for comfort’s sake, are a good mattress and a good spring. Logs for file Apartment There are now fireplace logs suit ed to the apartment dweller. They are compressed under great pres sure out of sawdust and shavings so that each log is bone dry, clean, uniform in size (4 by 12 1 / 4 inches), and has no splinters. There is al most no storage problem, asi each log burns for four hours, and a month’s supply can easily fit into the closet along with the umbrella and galoshes. These logs give off a colored flame—blue, orange, purple or green—very much like fires made from driftwood. Dining Bay Excludes Flies If you want to eat outdoors in warm weather, but the flies make the meal a nuisance, how about add ing a bay to your living or dining room? You can sit with windows on practically three sides of you, but by screening them, banish the an noying and unsanitary little insects. Sealing Jellies Paraffin used for sealing jellies should be “smoking” hot, since it sterilizes as well as seals. Tilt the glass in order that the melted par affin may form a seal around the side of the glass as well as a cov ering for the top. <wm IMPROVED UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL S UNDAY I chool Lesson By HAROLD L.

Life is full of choices, and the decisions we make determine our destiny both in this life and in the life to come. Since the great issues of our life may hinge on the sim plest of choices, it is obvious that we need guidance at every point and in every moment of life. The counsel of men, the right impulses which are born of good breeding, the light of knowledge—all these may help us to make right choices. But since there is only One who has all the knowledge, who can see the end from the beginning, who has all the power to make His decisions effective, it is obviously folly of the highest degree to do without His holy guidance, especially since God is willing to give it without money and without price even to the hum blest believer. Men and women, let us not follow the foolishness of Rehoboam. Let us seek first God’s kingdom and His righteousness, and then we are as sured that everything else shall be added unto us (Matt. 6:33). The picture before us is astonish ingly up-to-date. People were cry ing for relief from tax burdens. One group of leaders counseled modera tion; another group, said in effect, tax them all you can and keep on spending. The king, who in a mon archy had the final decree in his power, replied to the plea of the people with the 900 B. C. equivalent of our modern slang expression, ‘Oh, yeah?” Eind the ten tribes promptly revolted. I. A Reasonable Request (w. 1- 5). Governments exist for the people, not the people for the government. Political leaders seem to forget this axiom and begin to rule as though they need not listen to the reason able pleas of the people. Tax bur dens rise, regimentation of the life of the nation takes place, and soon er or later the people rise to over throw the government. It happened in Rome, it was back of the French Revolution, it brought an uprising of the serfs of Russia, it can and will happen elsewhere if men who rule do not listen to reason. Rehoboam made at least one wise decision—to wait three days before speaking and to seek counsel. He needed this, for having been brought up in the palace of Solomon, without proper training for his place as king, he was quite unable to make immediate answer to their re quest. Incidentally, we note that much of the folly of Rehoboam is chargeable to the neglect of his fa ther to rear him properly. May that terrible thing never be said about you and me regarding our children. II. An Unreasonable Refusal (w. 12-15). The picture of the two groups of advisers is a most graphic one and should afford the teacher an excel lent opportunity to show young peo ple especially, how important it is to heed the counsel of their elders. Even so youth stands today at the fork of the road. Let us in all kind ness, love, and tact seek to help them choose the right way. III. The Inevitable Revolt (w. 16, 17, 20). j The people, long submissive and apparently servile, ultimately come to the point where they think, and when they do, dictatorial rulers tumble from their self-made thrones. Would that the people of the earth realized the power which they have and that they would use it for the glory of God. Rehoboam felt the power of the people who re volted, others have followed him, for it is still true in the world that the rulers “do evil” because “they prepare not their hearts to seek the Lord.” Rehoboam, who had awaited the arrival of this crucial hour in an ticipation of taking his place as the king of the ten tribes, was ready, and was at once chosen as the lead er of those who withdrew from the rule of the house of David. Reho- boam’s sin brought this about, but it was also in the counsels of God (v. 15). As Alexander Maclaren ex presses it, “. . . the historian draws back the curtain. On earth stand the insolent king and mutinous peo ple, each driving at their ends, and neither free of sin and selfishness. A stormy sea of people, without thought of God, rages below, and above sits the Lord, working His great purpose by men s sin. That divine control does not in the least affect the freedom or the responsi bility of the actors. Rehoboam’s disregard of the people’s terms was ‘a thing brought about of the Lord,’ but it was Rehoboam’s sin none the Chintz-Covered Lamp Shades You Can Make By RUTH WYETH SPEARS ‘‘UJEAR MRS. SPEARS: I have a pair of lamps for my dressing table, and I would like to use some of my curtain material to cover plain shades. Can you tell me how this is done? C. H.” Here is a method that is shown for a living room lamp in Book 1. Use top and bottom rings from old lamp shade. A cardboard founda tion is cut to fit these, and the chintz or other fabric is pasted to the edge of this. The AB line in the pattern dia gram is as long as the diameter of the bottom ring. The dotted vertical line is approximately as long as the depth of the shade. < The CD line is as long as the diameter of the top ring. Draw the diagonal lines to touch the ends of the AB and CD lines. Place a lack where they meet at E. Place a pencil through a loop in a string, as shown, and draw the bottom line of the shade mak ing it as long as the measurement around the bottom ring plus a half inch. Shorten the string and draw the top to fit the top ring allowing for a half inch lap.
