NO MESSAGE TODAY
FOIt DYING WORLD
Failure From Breaching: Too Many
(iospels.
Stockholm, August 8.—The Christian
church has “no message today for a
dying world. As a mater of fact the
Christian church is preaching many
gospels and the result is confusion and
failure,” Dr. Curtis Lee Laws, of Brook¬
lyn said today in addressing the Bap¬
tist World Alliance.
“Denominations are being rent as¬
under today,” he said, “and those who
have long been brethren are in war¬
ring camps contending not over non
essentials. but alas over the very foun¬
dation principles of Christianity.”
If this theological war is fought to a
finish, he said, at least the present gen¬
eration will perish for lack of vision.
“Believing in the sincerity and high
moial character of these warring the
ologieians,” he said, “I beg of them in
the name of Christ and perishing hu¬
manity that they will quickly, loving¬
ly, prayerfully gather about a table
with God's book before them and let
that settle every disputed question.
That book is the ultimate ground for
authority."
Dr. Laws criticized the people who
fail to attend church. Today we have
the Arabs of the avenues and the bed¬
ouins of the boulevards, he said, and
they are as “far removed from Christ¬
ian influences as those who dwell in the
slums of poverty and squalor.
“The palatial hotels and magnificent
apartment houses send as few people
to the churches as do the tenement
house districts. Our hearts are touch
el when we hear of vast stretches of
territory on the frontiers where no
church people can be seen. But far
more sinister is the fact that gorgeous
church buildings, almost countless in
number are to be found in the midst of
the teeming millions) of al our great
cities ministering to but a handful of
people or else utterly deserted and fin¬
ally abandoned.”
PRODUCTION OF CLAY IN
1922
The output of clay mined and sold as
clay in the United States in 1922
amounted to 2,647,700 short tons, val¬
ued at $8,330,514, or $3.15 per ton, ac¬
cording to the Department of the In¬
terior, us determined by figures com¬
piled by the Geoligocal Survey. These
figures show an increase of 52 per cent
in quantity and 38 per cent in value
as compared with those of 1921. The
figures represented only clay sold as
clay by the original producers; they do
not include the much greater quantity
of clay that was burned into clay pro¬
ducts by the producers themselves.
The output of kaolin, the clay that
is used in making nigh grade pottery
and porcelain as well as paper and
other products, amounted to 275,657
tons, valued at $2,346,095, an increase
of 69 per cent and 49 per cent respec¬
tively, as compared with 1921. The
c lay of largest production and value is
fire clay. The sales of fire clay in
1922 amounted to 1,679,220 tons, val¬
ued at $4,633,486, an increase of 40
and 30 per cent, respectively, as com¬
pared with 1921. The output of every
kind of clay as classified. by the Geo¬
logical Survey in its statistical report
increased in quantity and value in 1922
as compared with 1921 except slip clay,
which increased slightly in quantity,
and stoneware clay which decreased in
value.
The imports and exports of clay also
increased in 1922 as compared with
1921. The total imports of clay were
350,570 tons, valued at $3,321,875, an
increase of 68 per cent in quantity and
value. The imports of kaolin, the chief
clay imported, amounted to 310,136
tons, an increase of 90 per cent as com
pared with 1921.
HOT SPRINGS NATIONAL
PARK
The Hot Springs National
in the mountains of Arkansas, is
of the most popular national resorts
being visited by more than 100,000
ple each year. Not all visitors are in
search of health especially; some
in search of pleasure, but whether
they visit the park for health or for
pleasure, all are attracted by the fa¬
mous hot springs. The hot water of
the springs was used by the
before America was discovered and
used by white people perhaps as early
as the sixteenth century, when accord¬
ing to the legend, the springs
visited by De Soto on his trip to
Mississippi.
The hot springs as well as the other
resources and the geology of the
and the adjacent country, are
in the Hot Springs geologic folio (No.
215), recently issued by the Depart¬
ment of the Interior. This folio, lvhich
is illustrated with maps and views, may

Survey at Washington, D. C.

HOW A BIRD FLIES
Elmer Whittaker
How many people can answer this
question: “How does a bird fly?” It
seems simple enough, and yet it is a
problem that the wisest in such matters
have made a study.
The most prominent fact about a
bird, in which it differs from all other
creatures, except the bat and insects,
is its power of flying. For this pur¬
pose the bird's arms end in only one
long, slender finger, instead of a full
hand. To this are attached the quills
and small feathers on the upper side,
wheih make up the wing.
Observe how light all this is; in the
first place, the bones are hollow, then
the shafts of the feathers are hollow,
and finally, the feathers themselves
fire made of most delicate filaments in¬
terlocking and clinging to one another
with little grasping hooks, microscopic
fineness. An open wing forms a hol¬
low under side, like an inverted saucer;
when the wing is forced down, the up¬
ward pressure of the air, caught under
the cavity, lifts the bird up, much the
same as you hoist yourself up between
the parallel bars in a gymnasium.
This explains how the bird keeps it¬
self in the air, but how does it sail for¬
ward at such terrific speed? It never
in this way could get ahead, and the
hardest question is now to be answer¬
ed. Now the front edge of the wing,
formed of the bones and muscles of the
forearm, is rigid and unyielding, while
the hinder margin is merely the soft,
flexible ends of the feathers; so when
the wing is forced down, the air under
it, finding this margin yielding, the
easier will rush out here and so doing
will bend up the ends of the quills,
pushing them forward out of the way
which, of course, tends to force the
bird ahead. This process quickly re¬
peated by the flapping of the wings,
results in the bird moving forward in
its flight.
TWO TOWNS
Starve-to-Death sleeps at the foot of the
hill,
And its dust-laden streets are deserted
and still.
AVhen something co nes up for the good
of the town
It wakes long enough just to frown the
thing down.
Starve-to-Death sleeps at the foot of
the hill;
AVhen judgment day comes ’twill be
sleping there still.
Go-Getter lives by the side of a lake
And its citizens all seem quite wide
awake.
Whenever a factory comes to locate
The people dig down and pay for the
freight.
It isn't a place for the knocker to
roost,
For every last citizen gets down to
boost.
A wide-awake place is this Go-Getter
town,
Becoming a city of size and renown
Starve-to-Death at the foot of the
hill;
It’s never awakened, perhaps never
will.
And Go-Getter stands a city most fair,
For every citizen does his full share,
When something comes up for the
good of the town,
They boost with a will-Go-Getter won't
down.

n Inactive
Liver
“I have had trouble with
an inactive liver,” wrote Mrs.
3. Nichols, of 4412 Spencer
St,, Houston, Texas. ‘‘When
1 would get constipated, 1 would
feel a tight, dizzy feeling in my
head. To get up in the morning
with a lightness in the head and
a trembly feeling is often a sign
that the stomach is out of order.
For this I took Thedford’s
Black-Draught, and without a
doubt can say 1 have never
found its equal in any liver
medicine. It not only cleans
the liver, but leaves you in such
a good condition. I have used
it a long time, when food does
not seem to set well, or the
m stomach is a little sour.”
