- Lesson for February 17: Deuterat* •■
-mny 4:1, 32-40.: > v> > . r i;
Memory Selection: Psalms III:4, ,
The book of Deuteronomy might
be regarded: as a collection of ,
Moses's face well addresses, in
which the Great Lawgiver and
Emancipator‘orally reviewed .to*
the people mUth-'of their great
past. In th#»4ifst'verse'of our r
present lesson: is the exhortation
that the people harken unto the r
statutes and ‘ordinances given'
them. .
In calling upon the’ Israelites
to hearken uofo God’s law, Moses
, recalls as a wondrous thing the
manner of God’s dealing with
his people in delivering them
from Egyptian bondage. Not
since the world began had an*
other people heard God speaking
to them "out of the midst of the
lire/* or had been taken out of
the midst of another nation to
be made a nation unto God.
• God had not dealt so wondrous-
ly with his people just to show
Ins power bht ' because he de
sired to instruct them. Because
he had loved their fathers, he
>*Hoae to bring them out with his
presence from the land of Egypt
and to drive out natiohs from
before them — nations greater
and mightier than they—to take
their lands for an inheritance.
The iesson is a great appeal to*
God’s people to be true to their r
heritage of faith. "The Alps are
Just as high as their highest
peak." What you have reached
in the past, you can reach again.
35e true to the best you have
known. We should also see in
the lesson, from our vantage of
twenty centuries of Christianitv,
that only through Christ can we
reach the true fulfillment.

PAYS TO REMEMBER NAMES
XIJOULP you like to hear how one of the best head wait*
VV ers in America handles people?
Nick jLqrapg, head waiter in the liyntjfig roofli,
Astor, New York, has been there 34 years, th£ longest Serv
ice record in one ple.ee of any waiter, head
Waiter or captain, in the country.
‘Remarkable, hut now comes something
more remarkable. He can call 10,000 people
by name.
Nick procures a guest’s name with- »
out asking him lor )t. His restaurant
is so situated that the guest can be seen
when he stops for his mail. As Nick
pours the water and arranges the
table, he watches until he sees the
number of the room penciled on the envelope. Then
: he telephones the desk. When he calls the man by
• name, naturally, it pleases him. “Why, here is a
live, |ip-to-date hotel! ”
He writes the names in a book and studies them. He is
starting his ninth book.
When a regular customer doesn’t come in forborne time,
he writes him a letter. The man feels that Nick takes an
interest in him and likes him—and he comes *back to the
Hotel Astor.
He has 36 waiters working under him. He breaks them
in by having them wait on him! When the new man can
satisfy Nick he can satisfy the most exacting.
I asked him to give me his three best rules for pleasing
his guests. Here they are:
/ 1. Make people feel at home.
2. Don’t try to railroad a customer into ordering some
thing he can’t afford.
3. Don’t say, “Do you want something?” Be specific.
Say, “Dp you wish more potatoes, sir?” or “May I serve
you with more gravy?”

BABY’S BED IMPORTANT
F OR the first few years of life a
baby spends about two-thirds
of his time in bed. For this rea
son his bed is literally a place to
grow in. And it would indeed be
wasteful to spend hours planning
and preparing the right food for his
growth, and then let him sleep anc
play on a bed which interfered with
the proper formation of his bones.
That would be like trying to grow
a tree in a window box—no matter
how much sun and plant food you
gave it, its roots would still be
cramped.
We used to think that because
, a baby’s bones were soft be
‘ should sleep on a soft, puffy
bed. Now we know that a level.
surface Is essential, both for'
the child’s safety from suffoca
tion and for his fntdre good pos
ture. This means that the mat
tress on his bed should be firm
enough to provide support at,
needed points, yet soft enough
to conform to the curvature of a *
child’s body and allow for com
fort. But it is better to err on
the side of rigidity than to have
too much “give” to the' mat
tress. A pillow is no longer used
on a baby’s bed.
You can see for yourself how a
mattress that hugged the baby in
one spot and left a hollow in an
other would Interfere with his
growing a straight body. For not
only does the baby spend hours
sleeping on this surface, but his
first exercise is taken on it. and
for months it is his main play place.
When the baby begins to roll over
on his stomach and gradually raise
his head and chest, that isn’t just a
cute trick but a necessary exercise
for strengthening back and neck
muscles. When he lies on his back
and kicks and gurgles he Isn’t just
entertaining you, he is getting his
leg muscles ready for that thrilling
stunt of pulling himself up on his
feet. Now if you were doing simi
lar exercise—and it wouldn’t be a
bad idea to follow the baby’s exam
ple in order to keep your muscles
strong and resilient—you wouldn’t
put pillows under your body but
would choose a flat surface. Just so,
a baby needs firm support for his
body during these self-starting ex
ercise periods.
Although th«> baby will prob
ably have his own favorite
sleeping positions vou will have
to watch to soe that ho bleeps
on both sides of his head in turn
so that one side won’t be flatter
than the other. In the weeks
before he can turn himself don*!
leave the baby lying on his back
by the hour as this, too. may In
terfere with the proper shaping
of the head.
OtWer hazards to good body for\
mation during the hours a baby
spends in bed are a too short mat
tress and too tight bed clothes. Be
sure that he has plenty of-freedom
of motion, and that his feet aren’t
cramped. Toe deformi’ies are
sometimes the result of tight bed
clothing which presses on the feet
and turns the toes under.

Who is the fastest back in col
lege football? Most experts trim
their list down to four—Glenn
Davis, Army; Bob Fenimore,
Oklahoma A. and M.; Buddy
Young, U. of Illinois, and Clyde
Scott, Navy. There is a plan afoot
to bring these four fleet young
sters together somewhere, and
have them sprint the hundred
yards in full football equipment.
Best guess is that they couldn’t
run it under T0.4.
Joe Louis admits that Billy
Conn is "three times better as a
boxer than I am." He hopes for
an early knockout, if that isn’t'
possible, the
Brown Bomber in
tends to jar Billy
with enough solid
punches to throw
him off form.Elm-
pr Oliphant, when
«at West Point,
starred in seven
sports. He was of-
fered severalbig,
© a 8 u e openings,
was heavyweight
1 Billy Conn champion at the
academy, held a
world’s record for low hurdles,
which still stands^ He is now a
New York businessman. In his
best days he was only five £*et,*
seven inches tall, and weighed
174 pounds. *
„ Nat Fleischer, well known box
ing referee reports, "I saw hun
dreds of servicemen boxers in
my tour of camps and posts dur
ing the war, but I noticed no
second Gene Tunneys. I did, how
ever, like the looks of a couple of
marines . . . Howard Brodt, a
middleweight, and LaVerne
Roache, a welterweight."
Billy Southworth’s contract
as manager of the Boston .
Braves calls for a salary of *
835,000, but he will get an ex
tra 85,000 if the club finishes
in the first division. Dolph

college, was an outstanding
