Many a parent of a boy—and even more parents, of girls--says, “My child will never be a preacher lior a lawyer nor a professional pol itician nor yet an actor —why should he learn to speak in public?” Many a boy—and girl—offers that as ex cuse for failure to improve the school term time for cultivating the art of declamation and oratory. Many aboy in college years ago took advantage of every excuse and when there wus none made one to evade the rule which required that once a month he should “declaim" and about so often take part, as a mem ber of the appointed team, in the stated debates. Now he is almost every week or every month called upon to make remarks to groups or larger audiences and he feels at ease —or flings away the oportunity with its responsibility, because he can not talk while on his feet facing a crowd. This is a day of much talk; there is always a great deal of talk ing—after the initial thinking is done and while it is being project ed—before enterprises, particularly of a community and civic nature are set going. Practically all the civic movements are carried forward by the cooper ative planning—and talking—of or ganizations which must have presid ing officers and must have speaking, formal or informal. The boards of directors of corporations have a deal of talking—business talking; the chambers of commerce and the boards of trade must have speakers for every tweeting, speakers who have something,, to say, clearly, logi cally, effectively said; the day is one, of luncheon clubs which are doing, groundwork for m\ich of. ,the pro r greys an<? , yiese roust have speakers from among their number. It is nev er well for the talking to be con tiered by a handful of professional men or professional talkers. The luncheon clubs have developed in the past few years many effective talkers—men who a little while ago could not “speak in public from the stage” even of a luncheon room— •who can upon occasion without spe cial preparation get up and. say things to thq point, think rapidly and clearly, in the presence of a crowd, and put over an idea or a suggestion with fair ease and good effect—but" for many th<-s achieve ment has been at the cost of much embarrassment a; the beginning, re peated efforts that were self-unsat isfactory, and practice and training of the hardest sort The church, tilt school gathering, the occasions of Charlr No. 11936 Reserve District No. 6 REPORT OF CONDITION OF the first national rank At Lawrenceville, in the State of Georgia, At the Close of Ilusiness On March 31st. 1921.

It is a fact freely admitted by all shipping interests that the only merit of a super-ship of the Leviathan class is its value as a publicity magnet. Indeed, it is questioned by some con servative lines whether its advertising value is sufficient recompense for the severe financial losses its operation entails. Evidence has been introduced be fore a congressional committee to show the net trip losses of the Le viathan in the past year have been approximately $79,000. This would ordinarily be a remarkable record, in view of the fact that the vessel did not go into service until July 4 and made only eight round trips, were it not also true that examination shows no evidence of charges for deprecia tion and insurance, for repairs of damage suffered in the grounding of the ship in New York harbor last fall, or for care of the ship whilse she had been laid up in recent months. Doubtless, an accurate ap praisal of the cost of maintenance with those items included will dis close that the losses incurred by the board in keeping the vessel in opera tion are about as large as those suf fered by private lines with similar 3hips on their hands. There is no’question that the Levia than and other ships of her bulk are economic weights. If the Leviathan :an be proved to have a considerable advertising value, its maintenance in service may be justified. However, ■as a simple economic proposition un influenced by other considerations, the. ships which make money for an£ line are those of medium size which afford every necessary comfort found in larger ships and extend every rea sonable, service.

Time To Look Facts in the Face Two outstanding difdosuros that comes as a result of the recent naval maneuvers ; nd which should command seri ous thought from the American people are, first, that the Panama Canal cannot withstand assault; and, second, the statement of Rear Admiral Plunkett, Commandant of the Brooklyn Navy Yard, that if our battle fleet were ordered to the Philippines it would be able to get there but that it could not operate or get back home again unless some friendly nation sold to this government enough fuel to enable the ships to move. This statement, the Admiral explained, is not a theory, but a condition demonstrated by events leading up to the battle of Manila when only the fact that a British coal-laden ship was purchased saved the day for Uncle Sam. There is something wrong somewhere when this coun try must depend upon the friendship of any foreign nation for its naval operation. Friendship between nations hangs on a thread even thinner than that which binds the indi vidual relationship. It is always taut and ready to snap. Indeed recent exhibitions demonstrating that the stern grim power behind the call of the dollar made a blind man see that even noblesse oblige is no more existant. This background throws into bold relief our situation in reference to American merchant marine. If we must look forward to future wars then the demand for a power ful merchant marine is imperative to our safety. If on the other hand we may look forward to the elimination of war then our prosperity and development will be measured largely by our position on the seas. It is a peculiar fact that America can find the money to finance other nations which in turn use our money to develop their shipping power, but that when it comes to the production of money for the development of American ships upon the sea the purse strings are pulled tight. In the light of present events the words of Admiral Benson uttered when he was in charge of the United States Shipping Board are almost prophetic. Benson said that putting the American flag back upon the seas was depend ent on the understanding of the farmer. His programme of enlightenment was rudely shattered, and in the whirligig of political scramble which followed his retirement, the spades were stuck deep v into the ground which formed the foundation of American peace and safety. Perhaps it is not yet too late to save ourselves maritime extinction. I “Ami now are there any questions?” asked the presiding officer at a public village meeting after announcing what he intended to do. A man in the audience arose. “Mr. Chairman,” he said, where upon the presiding officer smashed him on the head with a chair. “Are there any more questions?” asked the presiding officer. Which is one way of conducting a political meeting. I We are told that 25'7 of the public school pupils in New York have defective vision.

THE PROVING GROUND Roughly speaking, people when subjected to temptation fall into three cla.-res: Those who are dis tressed and humiliated that a wrong thought has presented itself; those who make no attempt to repulse temptation and yield whenever cir cumstances will permit; and those who look with serenity on tempta tions and regard them merely as things to resist—as opportunities to show stsrength and to develop strength. A fine old philosopher who lived two thousand years ago tells us that we should welcome temptation— that it is a testing of ourselves. It is encouraging to us if we can regard our temptations as tests and not as humiliating thoughts or evil opportunities. Everyone has tempta tions. A difference between the moral man and the immoral man is that the immoral man yields to his temptations and the moral man does not. We can no more prevent the ap proach of temptations than we can keep buzzards from flying over our house or rats from approaching the premises. But we do not need to let the buzzards nest on our roofs, nor do we need to entertain the rats. There is a reason for temptation. It is not a hit-and-miss matter due to whims or analytical investiga tion of a Supreme Power. The run ning of the universe is a business too stupendous for a mortal to com prehend. Probably the Director Gen eral of the universe needs a lot of high grade slouls to help Him out. Undoubtedly he has difficulty in getting enough of the kind that can measure up. The only way He can find out whether those in this world can qualify is by testing. The point is that when tempta tions ort ests are presented they should be regarded as school exami nations, and our objective should be to get a one hundred per cent mark. We should show a real under standing of conditions and be better able to meet a situation if, when a temptation presents itself we should smile knowingly and say, “Here is a test.” And if it should be a big temp tation, “Here is a supreme test.” The main thing is to stand the test.—Wickes Wamboldt.

Houston Goudiss National Authority on Nutrition Publisher of The Forecast—America's Leading Food Magazine Everyone knows we are given to eating more than we actually need, but when the table is heaped with good food, “what’s a feller to c!o?” Things are so tempting, and so palatable! Why not enjoy them? But many a heavy meal which is hugely enjoyed during the process of eating is far from enjoyable dur ing the process of digestion! Then it is that chewing gum comes to the rescue. Dr. W. A. Evans, former commissioner of health in Chicago, says in his book, “How to Keep Well”: “To chew gum after a meal aids digestion. Most people do not chew their food long enough to mix saliva with it thoroughly. The chewing of gum adds some saliva to the stomach contents. It is of more service in stimulating the stomach muscle. It is espe cially serviceable in helping the stomach to empty its contents. If one has overeaten and the stomach is heavy something is gained by chewing gum for half an hour, beginning two hours after eating.” And it also helps to keep the teeth clean. Chicle, the base of chewing gum, is the milky juice which is secreted by the inner bark of a tropical tree . Bleeding known as the Achras Sapota. Only during the rainy season are the trees “bled.” After being refined and sterilized, the chicle Is mixed with sugar and flavoring and moulded into the familiar form which has become so popular.
