Today’s Bible Meditation
e Y e ity
l‘-maay, ?ebruary T9—Read Micah 4:2-4,
They shall beat their swords into plowshares,
and their spears into pruning hooks: nation shall
| not lift up sword against nation, neither shall |
. they learn war any more,
Only goodwill creates goodwill, Missionaries are
jts ambassadors, By identifying thémselves with
un alien race, they interpret the minds and hea,rts‘
of those from whom they come to men of a different
culture, As apostles of Jesus they are pledges to
the Gospel of the Prince of Peage, who alone can
supplant suspicion, greed, and hate with understand
ing and sympathy and love, We of the West have
sent to the Bast our agents of destruction and death,
our high-powered oxplosives; our poison gases, Can
the Church withheld the only gospel thkat provides
those moral restraints which lead to peace among
ithe nations? Consecrated missionaries, schools
dedicated to the mind of Christ, hospitals filled with
His spirit—these alone give the lie to the jingoist
and abate the influence of ruthless trade, Stand by
your missionaries and help them achieve a warless
world,’
CATTON'S COMMENT
g BY BRUCE CATTON
Re e sl aresog ot reiind
; One of the things that keep life from flownig along
£ gaily like a babbling brook in a mountain meadow ‘
r is the unfortunate fact that most of us can’t seem
to learn anything without first taking a good smack |
on the jaw, ! i
We do learn in time, but usually not until some
hody hag wiped up the floor with us. It is not for
_nothing that our language contains an old saying
about “sadder and wiser.)”
Consider for instance, the famous Gran Chaco
War in South Ameérica, final obsequies for which
are now being performed by diplomatg around a
council table.
“ Here, we were assured;-wag @ War which flowed
directly out of the ineradicable springs of pugnacity
in the humar breast, The people of Bolivia and the
people -of Paraguay wanted the war, insisted on it,
refused to consider uny compromise that might have
avoided it, Or =o, at least we all were given to un
derstand,
; This fight finally ended in more or less of a draw,
when spectators climbed into the ring and stoppedl
it, Negotiations for the reurn of prisoners recently
: were concluded, and long lines of emaciated, war
weary veterans tramped through the streets of the
Bolivian and Paraguayan capitals,
y And here is the surprising thing, The populace
R, of the two capitals received their returning heroes
\ in a stony silence.
\“ Theawar, in other words, was not popular with the
man in the street, after all. He had no cheers for
his army when it came back home. - ‘
He had cheered himself out in advance; now, ap
é parently, all he wants is to forget the whole busi
ness and go ahead with the ordinary routine of
peace-time -life, bk amals
How come, then, that there was SO much popular
clamor for the war in the first place?
A recent news dispatch from DBuenos Aires ex
plains it. The politicians in the governments of
Faraguay and Bolivia had used the Gran Chaco dis
pute as a stalking horse for years. }
Whenever the electdrate dny either country got ;
restless, this dispute would be trotted out, the voter
would be assured that only by war could his coun
try’s ills be settled—and so, at last, an utterly syn
thetic passion for war was created.
The people of Paraguay and Bolivia know better,
. now. They know that the Chaco problem can be |
settled far better across the council table than on
the field of battle, They know that the idea of war
was a gold brick from the start; fed up with mili
tary glory, they want peace.
So, at last, they have learned something, But
how tragic it is thag men can learn only from hard
experience! If the Bolivians and Paraguayans could
have known four years ago what they Kknow now,
100,000 yvoung men of the two countries would still
be mlive, :
Foreign newspaper correspondents returning from ‘
Gepmany complain that it is becoming increasingly
difficult to squeeze real news of the day out of[
Nazi Germany. l
One American correspondent who had to travel to |
Copenhagen, Denmark, to file hig dispatch, remarksi
that “newspapermes are feeling more and more the
clutch of the kid glove of terror.”
He reveals that 12 members of the Associaton of
Foreign Correspondents, and many others who were
not members have been expelled from Germany, on
the ground that their articles “were misleading and
poisoned the international atmosphere.”
It is a strangle-hold, strong-arm system possible
only undér a dictatorship, Americans have cause to |
be thankful that ne such conditions exist here. Our
freedom of the press becomes increasingly vaiuable
] as we view countries without it.
As statisticians finish compiling their first-of-the
. year l{gm‘es, it becomes more and more apparent
X that only some unexpecfed development can prevent

FEEDING THE BIRDS
During the recent snows, sleets and
freezes, hundreds of families in this city
provided food for the birds whieh saved
these little feathered vertebraes from
starvation. Not only during the recent
unusual severe season of inclement weath=
er, but throughout the year, many of
these families do not forget the little
birds, but they keep an established place
on their lots where the birds have learned
to go daily for their food. Bird life is an
interesting study; there is so much to be
learned from watching their daily maneu
vers. It is an obligation on the part of
human beings not only to feed them, but
to protect them from harm and danger
that sometimes arise from the hands of
thoughtless boys in which has been placed
a sling-shot or a parlor rifle, It is not of
ten that young boys make a practice of
killing birds, but in isolated sections of
the city, there have been instances where
the sling-shot was used. to deadly effect
on thege harmless liftle feathered friends.
Those who have been caring for their
bird visitors during the recent epidemic of
zero weather should not abandon these
feeding places. It should be remembered
that the bugs, worms and insects of all
kinds on which birds feed and thrive on
have been killed by the freeze, and there
is little left in the woods, yards and gar
dens for them to peck out enough on
which to live. Those friendly to and in
terested in bird life can render a great
service to the little birds as well as to
themselves and their communities by
keeping these established feeding places
supplied with food throughout the day.
AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENTS INCREASE
_The number of casualities and fatali
ties for 1935, showed an increase over
former years. The reckless drivers and
careless motorists are on the increase and
from the number recorded in January, no
doubt, the number of accidents and fatali
ties for 1936 will show a healthy gain over
that of 1935.
In reviewing the record for last year,
the Greenville, (S. C.) News, says: )
“The National Safety Council reports
that accidents in the United States last‘
year cost the United States nearly 100,000
lives and approximately $3,000,000,000
in property damage.
“In addition to fatalities some 365,000
were permanently injured and over 900,
000 were temporarily disabled. This
means that on the average one person
died of unnatural causes every six min
utes and injuries accumulated at the rate
of sixteen a minute.
“Strangely enough, motor car crashes
which have been receiving so much atten
tion in late months accounted for not
much over one-third of the deaths and
about half the monetary losses. Fatali
ties due to accidents in the home number
ed 31,500 or nearly twice the 16,500 oc
cupational deaths, indicating the relative
ly high deghtee of safety measures em
ployed in the various industries where
people work,
“A great many accidental deaths, of
course, are practically unavoidable. But
the fact that more than two thirds of
such fatalities are suffered in the home
and on the highways is indicative of a
high degree of carelessness on the high
ways is indicative of a high degree of
carelessness on the part of Americans
while they are mnot at work. And this
carelessness is exacting a tax larger than
the cost of the veterans’ bonus every
year.” ‘ |
In line with the foregoing, the Charlotte
Observer, makes a most interesting com
ment on the motorist, “who made but one
mistake”. The references are so true to
present day conditions, we believe they
will stand reproducing and will be of in
terest to the readers of this column.
“He brushed his teeth twice a day—
with a nationally advertised tooth paste.
“The doctor examined him twice a
year. |
“He slept wtih the window open. |
«He stuck to a diet with plenty of fresh
vegetables. |
“He relinquished his tonsils and traded
in several wornout glands.
“He golfed—but never more than 18
holes at a time.
“He got at least eight hours’ sleep ev
ery night. |
“He never smoked, drank nor lost his}
temper.
“He did his daily dozen daily,
“He was all set to live to be 100.
“The funeral will be next Wednesday.
He is survived by 18 specialists, four
health institutes, six gymnasiums and nu
merous manufacturers of health foods
and antiseptics. He had forgotten about
trains at level crossings.”
The foregoing, says the Observer, has*
been going the rounds of the press for
some time, but that they consider it of‘
sufficient importance to give it another
“push,” in which statement we heartily
concur. ‘

A company has been formed by the
English milk industry for the sole pur

mated that the company saved the milk
industry $250,000 that year. ‘

*v*—————-

club sginger. Because of this
she quarrels with Peter Kemp,
young lawyer who is in love
with her.
Julia shares an apartment
with Amy Sanders,
Woodford gives a yacht
party and asks Julia to come
as a singer. Others in the
party include Cintra Lee, dan
cer; Mrs. Joseph, widow;
Hugo Nash and Royal Nesbitt.
They go to Evergreen island,
where Woodford has a |odge.
There Julia meets Tom Paysoh,
camping nearby. Woodford,
Nash and Nesbitt go hunting
and Nesbitt is injured. The
party leaves immediately to get
him to a doctor.
Julia gets a job singing on

She sees Payson frequently.
Woodford telephones her and
warng her to say nothing of
what happened on the yacht.
Smith Garland opens a new
night club and hires Julia as ‘
the featured singer. On the {
opening night she learns Pay
son is backing the club. |
Nesbitt’s dead body is dis
covered. Police question Julia
and she is held as a material
witness. 'Payson secures her
release on bail and Peter Kemp
offers to defend her.
Payson tellg Julia he is in
love with her.
NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY
CHAPTER XXIV
Payson brought Julia back to the
apartment, then telephoned Smith
Garland that she would not ap
pear,
“Was he angry?’ Julia asked
when Papson had finished.
“Not Smith Garland. He said
he'd get a lot of pleasure out of
telling them they ,wouldn‘t see
Nadine White tonf{ght.”
" Julia smiled. “He's a peach,
Tom."”
(Payson took up his hat. His eyea
were troubled. ‘Julia—you're not
falling for Smith, are you?”
~ *“l'm not falling for anybody,”
‘J'ulla. told him.
But when Payson had left the
apartment Amy guessed different
ly. “Payson was miles off, wasn't
he, Julia?”
“What do you mean?”
“I mean you =still like Peter
Kemp,”
“I never said I liked him at all,”
| qaid Julia, taking up a cigaret,
i
xt afternoon,gshe received a
fran - | from Kemp.
“I must come right U he told
hery/ “It's important,”
“Yes, Peter .. . }
It seemed to her that she
hardly replaced the receivel when
she hard Kemp's ring.
“How ever did you get here so
quickly from the office, Peter?”
He smiled quickly, and hurried
into the room. “I didn't come from
the office. I'm not with Woodford
and Brooks now, Julia.”
“You mean you've—gquit?” . ..
He nodded. "“Of course, Julia.
I'm going to be working against
Woodford in thig business, And I
never liked him anyhow.”
“But, Peter! You mean you've
given up your place there to help
me? Oh, Peter, I wish you hadn’t
done that! And it's so unneces-
Isary."
l He looked at her oddly. “Un
necessary?’ he asked. ‘l'm afraid
you're really in a spot, Julia.,”
“You mean—"
“I mean that things are happen
ing pretty fast against you. Buch
en has been talking with Tony
Latta, for one thing. Latta's sore
at you for running out on him, ‘se
we can expect anything there, I
have it straight that you and Pay
son figured in an altercation on
Latta’s gambling ship—"
“But it wag Latta’s fault, Peter?
I don’'t see how—"
“Buchen could drag that out of
you so it would appear plenty in
criminating in ecourt, Julia. The
fact that you sang on a gambling
ship would work against you with
most jurors.”
Julia sat down, staring at him
unbelievingly. “You talk as if I were
going to be accused of murdering
Royal Nesbitt.”
“I'm afraid you are, Julia” He
stopped a moment, looking down
at her curiously. “They’re going
to question Payson, too, Buchen
knows that Paysonr was the man
who tried to help you on Evergreen
Island, and that he was the one
who tried to break into the radio
room of Woodford’s yacht. And
he knows Payson is hehind the
‘White c¢lub.”
Julia drew a quick breath. “But—
but how can they say I killed Nes
bitt?”
. “You mean the motive?” Kemp
frowned. “I don’t know yet what
Buchen will use. It may be that
you wanted to escape from the
yvacht, He can prove you wanted
to get away, He might build it
up that you got into an argument
with Nesbitt, I can’t econtend that
the blow was a manr’'s, not a wom
an’s—because Nesbitt was stunned,
then died by drowning.” Xemp
paced across to the table, "“Or
Buchen may build up some love
angle. He's good at that.”
“But—how could he?”
“You've never heard Buchen in
!actlon. And didn’'t you tell him
|that Nesbitt had been coming to
your apartment long before you
ever saw him on Weodford's
cruise?” L .
Julia was silent, slowly realiz
ing that it coul@ be true. Buchen
could make it bad for her. Perhaps
he himself believed that she had
killed Nesbitt—and in his belief
cold convince the jury.
“But, no,” Julia cried, half in
answer to her thoughts. “They can't,
Peter!, can’t do anything to
me, be. g I didn’t do it!” .

Kemp sat down, folding his hands
together until the knuckles were
white, “Who would you pieck,
then, from the others? ‘Woodford,

slowly, “I ean't believe—" o
