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. rs-rr-r-t- ¥r~- D. CARNKGUC > aV.

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?” BY i MRS. CATHERINE CONRAD EDWARDS j Associate Editor, Parents' Magazine 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.

C. -x- By ELLIOTT PINE K NWNS Sports Writer 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 Stanley, new athletic director and basketball coach at Beloit college, was an outstanding success as ahigkschoolcoach ... his teams won more than CO per cent of their games . .. his Taylorville (III.) state champions had a winning streak of 45 straight victories. The Athletics had only one pitch- ?r last season who turned in a better than .500 score for his mound work ... he is Joe Berry. WANT ADV. In the market for timber land any size tract.
