“On the Beautiful Blue
Danube,’ Popular Walt* !
I’robably the most popular piece j
<»tjf dance music ever composed— i
%oown and loved around the world— '
as Johann Strauss Jr.’s group of
waltzes called “On the Beautiful
IBlue Danube.”
One says “waltzes” even in speak
ing of a single composition because !
all the Strauss waltzes are really a
series of waltzes in varying keys
and moods. Usually there is an
«laborate introduction, that no doubt |
summoned the dancers to attention, ’
a writer in the Detroit
News.
The waltz is the heart and soul of
old Vienna. There was something
in the very air that swept down
(rom the surrounding hills and
woods that made the people gay,
■child-like and courteous. Lovely Vi
enna !
Johann Strauss senior was tho
■first waltz composer, and then his
three sons, Joseph, Edward, and Jo- 1
Siann Jr. It was Johann Jr. who !
earned the title, “The Waltz King 1
\*»f the World.”
He wrote waltzes, waltzes, waltzes
—five or six hundred of them. And !
lie played them all the way from
.■the brilliant courts of Franz Joseph j
(and even of Napoleon in Paris) to
the public parks where the people of
Ifiis native Vienna loved to dine and
■dance. Naturally each was given a 1
name—any name, like “Vienna
Blood” or “Tales from Vienna ,
Woods.” “The Blue Banube” has .
made that river eternally blue,
though in reality it is blue only if
the sky is in a very good humor.
The people have placed a “denk- 1
anal” (think often) of Johann
Strauss Jr. in the city park. Beauti
ful rhythmic figures in stone float
around him, where he seems still ,
flu stand and play his violin.
.Dutch East Indies’ Days
Are of About Same Length
The Dutch East Indies stretch a
«i«stance equal to that from New
’Vork to San Francisco. The popu
lation totals 52,000,000.
The island empire is equal in area
ttr all the states east of the Missis
sippi with the exception of the state
•.j£ that name, reaching from the
zxulhern tip of Maine to the south
*an* lip of Florida, from Lake Michi
gan to the Gulf of Mexico, includ
ing 58 states.
The whole empire lies full in the
irqaiuitorial sun and reaches from the
of northwestern Sumatra to the
of New Guinea (Papua).
Ztoaughout the islands all days in
y±c year are about the same length,
-« She islands all lie close to the
■>sipTu»tor, notes a writer in the Cleve
liimS Plain Dealer.
'Tli* Dutch East Indies comprise
**«e Sarger part of the Malay archi
tvailago and are situated between
-'Australia and southeastern Asia.
Their extent may be realized from
iine fact that the distance from Sa-
Amng, north Sumatra, to Merauke,
im New Guinea, respectively the
vwwstern and eastern limits, is 3,000
imiles—as wide as the Atlantic from
Kork to London. They include
groups as the Moluccas,
Celebes, Sunda, Timor and Banda
.islands.
JFmirleen distinct kinds of people
unAaliit these islands, some of them
rwy primitive, others highly civi
lised.
Size of Stockings
la the manufacture of stockings
tihe size is based on the distance in
»nches between a point on the toe
a point on the heel measured in
straight line. Size Bis eight inches
•more or less from the tip of the
A* to the end of the heel. Both
tcraeu’s and women's stockings are
jrateasured in this manner. Accord
ing tu the United States bureau of
standards, women’s stockings are
■measured as follows: After the
Jbose has been pressed and is flat
»rwf unwrinkled, a ruler is placed
-along a line in which the tip of the
ime and the bottom of the heel gore
-are connected. The hosiery size is
the distance in inches along this
tune from tip of toe to the intersec
tion of the ruler with the back of
*he heel. Only inches and half
tnches are represented in size num
bers. Preference is given to the
Sower number. For instance, if the
■exact measurement is 10% inches
the stocking is called size 10 rather
than 1011*.
I
Dreams Are Short
Dreams are of very brief dura
van in spite of the fact they some
fjmes seem to the dreamer to ex
ne«d over long periods—hours or
-wrvntn days, according to a writer in
Detroit News. A few seconds
may be the actual time of a dream
rtnat seemed to carry the dreamer
inrough a long series of adventures,
dreams have no significance what
ever in the foretelling of the future.
They are merely impression pic
tures, often distorted, created by
-mr senses in our relationship with
«axlstence.
Animals and the Weather
In the old mythology cats were
•-napposed to have a great influence
«ao the weather. The stormy north
west wind was called the “cat’s
•'Wse." The dog and the wolf were
t%>th attendants on Odin, the storm
i*»d. In old pictures, there was
taften shown the head of a dog or
■wolf with gusts of wind issuing from
zts open jaws. So we can taks the
■cat as a symbol of heavy rain and
dbe dog as representing the strong
■wiaui usually accompanying a rain
artarm. , .
| “FOR IHE PEOPLE HAD A MIND TO WORK”
By PAUL MUSE
1 And so the walls of Jerusalem
were rebuilt. The surrounding
country was literally covered
with stone and all material need
■ed in building walls. But stone
! and mortar do not mix them
selves and jump into place as a
wall. Until yet, the broken
1 walls of the “City of God’'would
i not be repaired but for the fact
' that “the people had a mind to
wok,”
This is how everything is done
in the accomplishments of men.
The task is not how to secure
the needed material. It is to
find people who have the mind
to do what needs to be done.
Men and women like this will
always do the rest. God has no
[ other plans to get things done.
'He said, “1 will put my laws
■ into their mind.’’ God knows
I that people who have His
| thoughts in their minds, can be
depended upon to do and build
| His work anywhere, and that
without this Mind He can de
pend upon them for nothing.
I A principle that governs the
doing of all forms of work. But
it has particular reference tc |
' work into which one is not co- 1
1 erced. Many people work and
stick to it, not because they have
| a mind to work, but because
necessity drives them to it. Peo
ple of this measure in many in
stances are those who “have a
mind’’ to let the government
support them.

IT PAYS TO READ OUR
ADVERTISEMENTS
God measures by and delights in,
is the mind to be helpful of one’.-
own free will. This is one o
the chief reasons why Chris
said, “I will build my Church.’
The peculiar virtue of religioi
is that it offers an opportu
nity to people to work, to d«
good, while they are free, i
they choose, to be idle and d*
nothing. People who have j
mind to go to Church will find i
way to go. Those who have :
mind to serve will find away t
serve.
In the building of the walls c.
Jerusalem-—and Jerusalem thei
was the visible Church—con
trast the work of Malchiah wit!
the attitude of Sanballat a n <
Tobiah. Malchiah’s part wa:
menial and lowly. He repairs
the cesspool, but got his nam»
inscribed along with princes be
cause he had a mind to do some
thing that needed to be done
Sanballat and Tobiah criticized,
did nothing, failed to add theij
manpower to the work. The\
threw mud on the clean work of
those who w r ere working, anc

sweet—more likely devilish
made some wisecrack about thi
defective work.
Paul was right: “Let this mint
be in you, which was also in Christ
Jesus.” The difference betweei
having and not having this mine
is the difference between beinj.
a Malchiah and being a Sanbal
lat or Tobiah.
