Movies for Religious
Education Aid to Church
Churches and church groups
should lake a hint from Hollywood
and make motion pictures for visual
religious education that are not only
inspiring, instructive and uplifting,
but technically as good as those I
shown in theaters.
Bishop W. Bertrand Stevens so i
advised delegates to the forty-sixth I
annual convention of the Los An
geles Episcopal diocese.
Declaring that a present weak
ness of the church was the fact that
children drifted away from religious
affiliation at an early age, Bishop
Stevens urged three means of meet
ing this trend; an improved and sus
tained religious education program
extending over a longer period, »
wider use of visual education, and i
a better program for adults.
‘Too many children, now,” he !
said, ‘‘attend Sunday school in their
early years and drift away from the
church at the age of 13 or 14. As a
result, more than 50 per cent of
Americans are ‘pagan’ in that they
have abandoned identification with
the church.”
Pointing out that in many cases,
church groups using motion pic
tures to strengthen a religious edu
cation program have relied upon
amateurish and poorly made films,
Bishop Stevens said:
“We must have motion picture?,!
for this purpose that are not only
inspiring and instructive, but are
commensurate in quality—not nec
essarily in spectacular extent bul
in technical details—with the pic
tures that young people see in the
theaters.”
Such a strengthened program o)
religious education, he said, would 1
lie Ip correct the ‘‘woeful and j
pathetic ignorance" of many people !
as to their place in Christian faith. |
Tchaikovsky Revealed
Emotions in His Music
Peter Ilich Tchaikovsky, noted (
Russian composer, revealed his per- 1
sonal emotions in his music, full of
depth and melody, somber and filled j
with unrealized longing. Critics see ]
in his compositions a reflection of
his unfortunate romances.
Tchaikovsky fell in love with an
opera star when he was 28. Sha
refused his proposal, married a
baritone. At 37 he met and mar
ried Antonia Milioukov, but the
marriage lasted only 13 days. The
real woman in Tchaikovsky’s life
was Nadejda von Meek, n wealthy |
widow, who became interested in the
young composer, paid him a yearly !
allowance so that he could devote j
all of his time to music. Although j
they corresponded for 13 years, (
wrote more than 3,000 letters, they
never met. |
He visited the United States in '
1891, played at the dedication of 1
New York’s Carnegie hall. He died 1
two years later from cholera, after
drinking unboiled water. )
Catching Up on Coffee
Substitutes for coffee have ap
peared the world over. In France
and Italy chicory is usually mixed
with it. And when the supply of
coffee is very low, chicory is used
exclusively.
Here in the United States roasted
rye has been used as a substitute.
It is considered quite a good drink.
We can titanic Cortez for the dis
covery of chocolate as a drink. When
Cortez was sent out by the Spanish
government to explore this new
world discovered by Columbus, he
went in search of gold. In Mexico,
he and his men were entertained
royally with strange food such as
corn, and strange drinks such as
chocolate. The Spaniards loved it
and took it back to Spain.
The Roman Catholic church con- 1
demned chocolate as immoral. Peo
ple were fascinated by this new vice,
and tried it on many occasions.
When finally the Church relented,
the monks used to drink it before
mass. Theoretically this did not
break their fust.
Prognosticator Uses Indian Method
William F. Hudson of Orange,
Mass., uses an old Indian “magic
formula” in making his annual long-1
range winter forecast. He says of j
55 yeai’.y predictions, 52 have been
accurate. I
Here’s his system:
Find out when the first quarter
of the October moon occurs. Count j
the number of bright stars that ap- j
pear located about 30 feet from all I
sides of the moon. Look for a dull I
star above six inches from a bright i
star. The brilliance of this extra j
star will determine whether there
will be one storm more or less than
the number of bright stars.
Hudson says that according to
the stars this year there will be ap-)
proximalcly 23 storms in which
enough snow will fall for dog or cat
tracks to show.
Bad Teeth in Children
Dental care for children from the
age of two on was urged recently
by Dr. John C. Bauer of lowa City,
at a dental convention in Los An
geles. “Two out of three children
have dental defects and the earlier
.they are cared for the better,” he
said. Dr. Brauer’s recommendation
tor a child's diet was as follows:
‘An optimum of dietary regimen
with a reduction of concentrated
sweets. They should get a quart of
milk, one or two eggs, two vege
tables, one tablespoon of codliver oil
and three teaspoons of butter each
day.”

World’* Most Exclusive
Cemetery in Recoleto
What is said to be the most exclu
sive cemetery in the world—Recolc
to, the City of the Dead in Buenos
Aires—has now become so “exclu
sive” that it has a waiting list.
The dead liternlly have to wail
! their turn to be buried in Recoleto,)
I which looks just like a miniature
i walled city in the heart of the Ar
gentine capital.
Being hemmed in by the rest of
the city, the cemetery, which is
about an acre in size, cannot expand
beyond its original walls, and, as
it is the most fashionable place to
be buried, there are more candi
dates than space.
Laid out on the plan of most Span-
I ish cities, the City of the Dead has
j a main avenue, known as “la ave
| nida,” mosaic-paved and tree-lined,
I leading to a central plaza, green
j with lawn and shrubs. The little
streets, with alleys bisecting each
square block, are lighted by tall clcc
trolliers just as in a big city, and on
each corner there if. a hydrant, not
for fire, but for watering the flow
ers and greenery.
And instead of office buildings,
markets and shops, the streets are
fronted with elaborate vaults, one
and two stories high, made of expen
sive imported stone and alabaster,
i Many of them are built like minia
ture cathedrals, bearing altars with
ever-burning candles and steeples ,
with leaded Gothic windows of col
ored glass.
Hot, Cold Baths Benefit
Most Physical Ailments
j Hydrotherapy is a method of
i treating disease, both mental and
j physical, by the use of water. In
j deed, it has long been recognized as
I the most successful method of treat-
I ing mental diseases. There are very
1 few mental conditions that cannot i
be greatly benefited by the use of ,
water in its various forms, and all
I hospitals for the treatment of men
l tal diseases consider some form of
j hydrotherapy as their greatest as
) set. Baths in some form control
mania, excitement and delirium and
induce sleep and rest.
Most physical ailments are bene
fited by water. Taken internally it
aids digestion and furnishes the nec
essary fluid for the absorption of
food and for its distribution through j
the blood to every part of the body.
It is used externally in the form of I
| hot or cold applications in the bath i
or locally by ice packs or hot |
J fomentations, also in the form of j
i steam for inhalation to relieve nasal
| and throat congestions.
Water absorbs a great amount of
, heat. In a case of fever, a cool tub
j or sponge bath absorbs heat from
i the skin and reduces the fever. A
| hot or warm bath reduces the fever (
I by attracting blood to the skin, opens
: up the pores and the resulting per-
I spiration and evaporation reduce the
temperature.
New Pulp Bleaching Process
America is one further step along
the road to complete independence
from foreign products, two chem
ists, J. F. White and G. P. Vincent,
connected with a New York alkali
company, recently announced at a
convention of the Technical Associa
tion of the Pulp and Paper Industry.
They described a new process for
bleaching Kraft pulp with sodium
chlorite, a chemical which has been
| known for many years but which un
til recently has not been used for
bleaching purposes. Sodium chlo
rite will bleach Kraft pulp to an
unbelievable whiteness and at the
same time will not weaken the struc
ture of it, they claim. It will make
possible the bleaching of all types
1 of American wood pulps, and should
open new markets to American
manufacturers, the chemists said.
They also discussed the finding of
some use for lignin, other than as a
road binder. Lignin, a waste prod
uct in the manufacture of pulp, is
the substance which, in nature,
binds wood fibers together.
Glasses Sterilized Automatically
A new device, which has been de-
i 1 veloped in South Pasadena, Calif., by
j a commercial laboratory, will stcri-
I lize glasses and dishes automatical
■ ly. The human factor has been elim
inated. All the dishwasher has to do
j now to sterilize dishes is to turn on
the water faucet. There are no
i chemicals to mix, nothing to meas
| urc, nothing to forget. The appara
[ tus takes the form of a special kitch
! cn sink faucet on which arc mounted
j a replaceable bottle of chlorine
I sterilizing solution and also a trans
parent tube filled with white tablets.
As the tap water flows its move
ment draws out some of the steri
lizing liquid and mixes the latter
| with the water. It all looks very
simple until one learns that years of
research have gone into the device.
Slot Machine Chances
You have one chance in 1,000 of
getting the jackpot in a slot ma
chine, according to the late Dr.
E. E. Free, scientific consultant and
member of New York university fac
ulty. He discovered this after an
extensive investigation. The aver
age slot machine pays out, on the
average, only about three-fifths of
the money taken in. You have 1
chance in 500 of getting 16 coins or
slugs; lin 83lb to get 8; lin 16 2 a to
get 4; and 1 in 11 1-9 to get 2. There
are various ways of fixing these
machines so they won’t pay the jack
pot, or to increase or decrease the
odds against the player.
Scientists Study Trees
For ‘Fountain of Youth’
Plants, especially trees, are under
inspection by scientists as possible
sources of information on the tanta
lizing perpetual youth problem.
Hoary giants like the Big Trees ol
California and the great Cypress of
Tula, in Mexico, that have seen all
the kingdoms of history rise and
wane, still exhibit that surest of the
marks of youth: They still repro
duce, bearing abundant crops of
seed. How can they maintain this
vigor for many thousands of years?
How is it possible for them to
grow year after year, while genera
tions of man die?
A hint may be found in the way
trees are organized. The giant
woody heart of one of these forest
monuments has very little'life in it
| —perhaps none at all. Old trees are
frequently rotted hollow within
while they continue to grow vigor
ously without.
The fundamental living part of a
tree is a thin layer of actively di
; viding cells at the boundary between
j wood and bark, which botanists call
the cambium. This unseen layer
gives rise to new leaves and
branches, flowers and fruit, adds the
annual ring of thickness in growth.
Leaves and flowers fade and fall,
the new growth hardens into wood
and is left behind with the seasons,
presently to become deader than our
own bones.
But the cambium is perennially
young. It is even potentially im
mortal, for if a cutting is taken
| from old and dying tree to keep
! the stock going, it is the cambium
! that provides the new roots and
branches. We might well go to
school to the cambium for lessons
in life extension.
Story of Vitamins Proves
Health Value to Mankind
The story of vitamin B1 is one
of untiring scientific research. The
first indication that such a thing ex
isted as a vitamin, came in the 1880 s
when a lone scientist, working in
his laboratory, was studying the ef
fects of different diets on white rats.
In feeding his white rats on milk,
he watched them grow fat and
sleek. Realizing that milk was the
most perfect, complete food known
to man, he decided upon the experi
| ment of taking milk and breaking
down all its known elements—and,
I so to speak, manufacture a milk for
' his white rats. So he compounded all
j of the elements of milk in the exact
j proportions in which they were
found in the product. His family of
rats immediately started to dwindle
and die. The only result he obtained
j from his experiment was a report
j that milk contained some unknown
quantity essential to mankind.
| This quantity remained unknown
until 1906, when vitamins were first
isolated. The various vitamins were
then recognized—and after many
years of untiring research, the exact
therapeutic necessity of each vita
min was determined.
And of all of the vitamins, one
of the most essential is 81. This
vitamin is often referred to as the
“spark plug” vitamin, as it supplies
energy to the system, facilitating
the digestive processes.
Widows No Longer Burned
One hundred and fifty years ago
it was an Indian custom to burn the
widow of a deceased husband. She
would have died when her husband
died —perishing in the flames that
would have consumed his body on a
ceremonial funeral pyre along the
banks of the sacred river Ganges.
This custom went out 125 years ago
when a great, enlightened Indian
leader, Ram Mohan Roy, succeeded
in obtaining passage of a law mak
ing the practice illegal. Today, in
stead of being burned to death with
their husbands’ bodies, widows are
serving in the political life of their
cities and taking an active part in
the movement for Indian independ
ence. Emancipated as they are, the
middle class of India still clings to
some ancient customs, as wearing
small diamonds in their nostrils and
wearing a red dot, like a crimson
“beauty spot” in the center of their
forehead. But where once they
were worn as a mark of caste, today
it is merely ornamental.
Washing With Cold Water
A tip for the washer-outer! Now
you can wash hosiery and other
delicate garments in cold water. All
this is made possible by a liquid
soap which has been placed on the
market and which makes instant
suds in cold water. Of course, it
can be used in hot water, too, if you
prefer to use hot and are not afraid
of shrinking and fading of materials.
With these liquid suds comes a
vacuum washer that literally
“sucks” the dirt from the garments.
The lingerie or hosiery goes in the
large container, water and liquid
suds are added and a few vigorous
shakings do the washing. Rinsing
and hanging up to dry complete the
job—all without getting the hands in
water.
Shelves for Kitchen Things
Cabinets, built-in or ready-made,
are the most satisfactory for storing
kitchen things. Shelves are best in
cabinets above the work surface.
Drawers are usually preferred be
low. But, because shelves are less
expensive to build, many save on
cabinet construction by using
shelves throughout. All shelves
should be made adjustable if possi
ble, to avoid waste.
