By tyranny and wicked ness in high places and the re flected corruption among the passes, nations can write their (own doom. There is a sad ex ample of this in Israel’s history after the death of Joshua and tte passing of * a generation. Apostasy brought disaster to the nation. Of the beginning of Hebrew op- pression in Egypt we read “there arose up a new'king over Egypt, which knew not Joseph." Of the worst period in Canaan we read “There arose another generation after them, that knew not Je- Bmrah." In many respects we ane verging perilously upon such • condition in our own land, and we should fear the consequences. Because of their forgetfulness ef Jehovah and their following after other gods the Israelites eften fell into such weakness and degradation that surrounding na- ttcaos laid tribute upon them. The ifesson gives the broad outlines of jBiis period "when the judges aided." Time and again the Is raelites, with mournful repeti tion, “did evil in the sight of the jLocd," and Jehovah allowed Elem to fall under the oppression of their enemies. Then the Lord would raise up a deliverer, such as Gideon, to give the people. This turbulent period “when fee fudges ruled" came in conse- •nence of Israel’s failure to drive •wi all of the heathen inhabitants the country—these proved a scare Jo God'.v *<or*Ic.

How do we expect to contribute to the success of the United Na tions organization if we make ^ ourselves the laughing stock of the whole world? We must have the respect of the world to be in fluential in the management of its affairs; and we certainly don’t gain that by giving in to every demand which is made upon us. By secret agreement at Yalta, Russia was given the southern half of Sakhalin and the Kurile:*. Why doesn’t some “meanle" who hates Stalin, suggest that these be submitted to a trus teeship. He might laugh him self to death! The only nations which are turning over anything to trustees are the defeated nations. We were not defeated in the war— but we are now being defeated by a jellyfish foreign policy. The UNO is a magnifi cent idea. It is not a new one « but maybe this time it will be successful. When it is—then is the time to turn over our defenses to a trustee. But in the uame of reason—let us in the meantime make our selves so strong that our voice too will be hearkened to | —as Russia’s is. There is a theory that if we give in to all the demands made upon us, it will set an example tc the other members of the UNO and get that body off to propiti* ous start. There could be nr, greater fallacy—weakness has always spelled disaster. Even a broody hen loses her I melancholy if you give her better living quarters.

First woman to enter big league baseball is Miss Edith Houghton, who will be a scout for the Phila delphia Philhes. She is an ex- WAVE, and has been playing baseball with gills’ teams since she was eight years old. The largest sta dium in which hockey is played is the Chicago Sta dium, which seats 16,546. Next comes the one in St. Louis, Mo., with a capacity of 13,384. Both arenas are often packed during the season. Three national amateur cham pionship contests are being run off this March . . . Men’s Basket ball tourney at Denver, the 17th to the 23d; Women’s Basketball at St. Joseph, 24 to 30, and Wom en’s Indoor Track at Cleveland, 29 and 30. Detroit is considered the most bowling-conscious city in the U. S. by the American Bowling Congress . . . there are 18,000 officially sanctioned teams , . . that is one five-man team for every 112 citizens. Big League baseball is now entering its seventh cycle, ac cording to Dan Daniel, New York World-Telegram baseball expert. Here’s how he figures it: The first cycle began in 1839, with the laying out of the diamond as we know it today. That period ended in 1861, with the outbreak of war. During the Civil war the game re ceived tremendous impetus, and entered the second cycle. This closed in 1875. The third started in 1876, with the organi zation of the National league. The fourth got under way in 1890, with the “Brotherhood war,’’ and the fifth began in 1901, when the American league en tered the scene. The sixth start ed right after the First World war, and lasted until 1941 — Pearl Harbor. Now comes the seventh, the cycle of tremendous boom. It will bring hitherto un heard-of attendance figures, big ger stadia, higher than ever standards of play, spectacular new stars, and a record growth of interest among juveniles and women.

Opportunities And Benefits Offered In Marine Corps Columbia, March 4. — “Oppor tunities and benefits never before available are now being offered to Marine veterans who are consid ering the Marine Corps as a ca reer,” it has been announced by Captain Robert M. Richards, Of ficer in Charge, U. S. Marine Corps Distrirt Headquarters Re cruiting Station in Columbia. With an anticipated peacetime strength of 100,000 enlisted men for the Cfcrps, inducements and incentives are being offered Ma rines who “ship over” as well as Marines who have already left the service, and desire to reenlist. Discharged Marines with prior active service (Regular, Reserve or Inductee) who reenlist in the Reg ular Marine Corps within 90 days from date of discharge will be re appointed to the same rank. If a Marine is discharged and reenlists immediately he will re ceive the $200 or $300 mustering out pay. He will also receive a bonus of $50.00 for each complete year served in the “Regular Marine Corps.” Captain Richards pointed out that former Marines who re enlist within a period of 90 days will be granted a re-enlistment furlough, with pay. The length of furlong’ depends on the length of the listment. Service in the Marine Corps to day offers limitless opportunities for the ambitious young man who really wants to have a steady job, an opportunity to advance his knowledge, and a chance to im prove his technical skill. Advanced training in many skills is open to Marines in the several schools maintained in the Marine Corps such as: Motor Transport, Clerical course, Avia tion Technicians, Radio Techni cian, Radar Technician, Engineer ing, Telephone Technician, etc. Scores of jobs are open in Marine Corps Aviation in addition to ac tual pilot training. A man can become expert as an aviation mechanic, metalsmith, aerial photographer. Navigator, etc. After serving 30 years in the Marine Corps (as a matter of fact, any former Army and Navy service can be included) a man may re tire upon application, with 75 per cent of his base pay. After serv ing 20 years, he may receive 50 per cent of his base pay. Captain Richards states that the demobilization of the Marine Corps is ahead of schedule and re placements are urgently needed.
