Robert McCulley of Long Beach, Calif., is seen inside the trailer he built for his many journeys along the highways and byways of the United States. The trailer is 8 feet long, 38 inches high and 36 inches wide. Complete with built-in bed it weighs pounds. The owner plans a trip to Florida this coming spring. San Jacinto Tunnel Nears Completion HAPPY CITIZEN Model trains are complete in every detail, but it's Dad—not Junior—who usually monopolizes these intriguing gadgets. The above train is modeled faithfully to scale, operating on a track half the usaat Tdxe to accommodate model train enthusiasts who live in cramped quarters. Toy trains are no longer for young sters exclusively. What’s this? Even the trailer has entered toydom, along with streamlined', tomobiles in which Junior can drive down the sidewalk. The new model cars have door-grips, radiator caps and headlights, while the trailer is a boon to young men who want to take their girls for % a ride. Completing a five-year job, hard-rock men holed through in the San Jacinto tunnel recently. Within a few months 1,000,000,000 gallons of the Colorado river will rush through this 13-mile bore daily in its haste to quench the thirst of Los Angeles and 12 other southern cities. It was one of the biggest tunneling jobs ever attempted. It was a happy day for Luise Rain er, film actress, when she became an American citizen recently. After naturalization proceedings in Los Angeles she wrapped the flag around her and exclaimed, “This is the happiest moment of my life.” mm ‘HEART PERCH’ t Chain Selves to Protect Cherry Trees v v . v ^ ' ' ;* ! IS ' ' iis This abstract carving by George Churchill, “Perch for a Heart,” will be shown this winter by the London Group at its winter exhibition in Burlington galleries in London. The oddly shaped pieces of wood were assembled by the artist with screw driver, chisel and hammer. This toy has a real practical value, because music lessons can be fun when a little girl learns on her own piano or foot-powered orgrui. Keyboard diagrams and real songs are provided. A group of militant women citizens, angry over the removal of the famous Japanese cherry trees at the Tidal Ba.*in site of the proposed Jefferson memorial in Washington, D. C., chained themselves to the trees in an effort to prevent workmen from uprooting the famous trees. What Gloves Are Made Of Most of the leather for gloves is obtained from sheep skin. Pig, goat, lamb, colt, reindeer and dog skin also are used in glove manufacture. IMPROVED UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL SUNDAY I jchool Lesson By HAROLD L. LUNDQU7ST, D. D. Dean of The Moody Bible Institute of Chicago. C Western Newspaper Union. Lesson for December 11 THE SIN OF COVETOUSNESS LESSON TEXT—Exodul 30:17; Luke 13: 13-21: I Timothy 0:6-10. GOLDEN TEXT—Thou shall not covet.— Exodus 20:17. Lesson subjects and Scripture texts se lected and copyrighted by International Council of Religious Education; used by permission. “The word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two- edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart” (Heb. 4:12). These are the words that came to the writer’s mind as he read the Scripture portions assigned for this lesson. He would fain have set aside his own comments and used this column to print the words from the Bible. If any reader of these lines purposes to read just these efforts to expound the truth, and not to read the Bible itself, let me plead with you to stop here and turn to God’s Word. Let its powerful truth grip your soul and change your life. It seems peculiarly appropriate that this lesson on covetousness should come right in the midst of our preparations for Christmas, for it directs our attention away from things to God, from outward prep aration to the preparation of the heart, from greedy desire to true liberality of heart. Christmas may be literally “made over” for all of us if we receive its truth. I. A Command (Exod. 20:17). “Thou shalt not covet.” This last commandment carries us “beyond the domain of civil mag istracy into that intellectual realm of motive, desire, and thought, where God alone is Lord and Judge” (Dykes). It deals with the heart, out of which are all the issues of life. It reaches to the root of so much that is wicked and destruc tive in the world—the covetousness of man. The love of money makes men lie, steal, kill, cheat; in fact, “the whole realm of human inter relations is disorganized and broken up by the dishonoring of the tenth commandment” (Morgan). II. A Warning (L«_Vz 12:13-21). “Beware of covetousness.” The teaching of this passage is so directly opposite to all ideas regard ing such matters accepted by the world at large, that it may be a total surprise to some readers and attendants at Bible school. The yardstick of success in the world—for an individual, and organ ization, or a nation; yes, even tor many a church—is the possession of wealth, or r ierty, or other “things.” Write u then in large let ters on the hearts and minds of our boys and girls, “A man’s life con- sisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth” (v. 15). The one who was known to his friends (and to himself) as “a rich man” (v. 16), but whom God knew as a “fool” (v. 20), had more than he could use for himself. He had to build new and bigger barns, and could not see the “bams” that were already prepared, for, as Am brose says, “Thou hast bams—the bosoms of the needy, the houses of widows, the mouths of orphans and infants.” He was a fool who loved money for himself. One wonders what he had to say for himself when that very night he was called into the presence of God to give an ac count of his stewardship (v. 20). If you are similarly situated and have the same attitude, what will you say in that day? An important point which we must note is that Jesus expressly re pudiated the connecting of His name with the so-called “social gospel” in His reply (v. 14) to the question of the covetous fellow who regard ed his inheritance as of more im portance than brotherly love. Those who are ignoring the gospel of re demption and claiming Jesus as a social reformer or the “judge and divider” of some new economic so lution for the world’s ills, need to read and ponder this verse. Every Christian is interested deeply in so cial problems, but knows that the first concern of Christ and His fol lowers is the souls of men. HI. A Way of Victory (I Tim. 6:6- 10). “Godliness with contentment.” As a minister of the gospel the writer would first remind himself that this was written by Paul to the preacher Timothy. Brethren in the ministry, let us not fall into the temptation and snare that comes with the love of money. In this dizzy age when many are so intent on making money that they have no time for home and children, church and fellowship; when men neglect their responsibilities and duties as citizens to get gain; when any dirty business is all right if it produces a profit; when “for gold men betray their country, their friends, their God, their immortal souls” (Farrar)—yes, in this day let us remind men that “we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain that we can carry nothing out.” Let us teach and exemplify in our lives the fact that the only real and worth while gain in life is “godliness with contentment.” «Ask Me Jlnother % A General Quia The Questions 1. What country claims the land •t the North pole? 2. Who wrote the lines, “Oh, what a tangled web we weave, when first we practice to de ceive”? 3.

What is the difference la meaning between alumnus, alum na, alumni, and alumnae? The Answers 1. There is no land at the North pole, consequently no country has made any claim to it. Perry In April, 1909, hoisted the American flag on the ice there. 2. They are from Sir Walter Scott’s “Marmion.” 8. In the national maple leaf con test held last year the winning leaf measured 21 by 25 inches. 4. On June 12, 1930, ths late Sen. Huey P. Long began a fili buster which lasted 15V4 hours. 5.

The capitol has a floor area of 14 acres, and 430 rooms are de voted to office, committee and storage purposes. 8. The underbody was painted blue and the upper woodwork was invariably red.

Alumnus means a man grad ual 2; alumna, woman graduate; alumni, men graduates; alumnae, women graduates. NEVER SLEEP ON AN “UPSET STOMAC n.
