THE GREAT ICE FAMILY
CIR FREEZLNG-IS FUN anil the
old King Snow were having a chat
after a pleasant, busy day.
I’retty soon they were joined by
other friends and relatives. The Bliz
zard Boys came along and so did
many of the others. “Let us hear,”
said Sir Freezing-Is-Fun, "the old, old
story of dear Great, Great, Great,
Great, Great, Great, Great, Great,
Great Grandmother Ice and the Pond.”
“Who will tell the story?” asked the
Icicle Girls and just as that moment
Lady Ice came along.
“Oh, won’t you tell the story? Won’t
you tell the story?”
“What story?” Lady Ice asked and
she smiled her cold, cold smile, but
they all enjoyed it for cold smiles and
cold ways were what kept them warm
and strong.
“We want to hear the story of dear
Great, Great, Great, Great, Great.
Grandmother Ice Had Lovely Dresses
and Gowns of All Sorts.
Great, Great, Great, Great-Grandmoth
er Ice and the Pond.”
“Oh, yes,” said Lady Ice, “I will in
deed be glad to tell that story.
“Years and years and years ago, oh,
so many years ago that no one can
possibly add them all up so as to tell
just how many years ago it was —at
least none of us could add up so many
years, dear Great, Great, Great, Great,
Great, Great, Great, Great, Great
Grandmother Ice was a very young
Ice Lady.
“How her iced jewels would gleam
and sparkle and dance when Mr. Siin
would look at them.
“Mr. Sun would come out just for
the sole purpose of looking at her jew
els and he would look at them this
way and then that way to see all the
colors that were in them.
’And Grandmother Ice had lovely
dresses and gowns of all sorts.

FOR THE GOOSE—
MARRIAGE is like a business ven
ture that can be lost from start
in’ with too little capital, or losin’ con
iidence on the way.
A blazin’ fire often won’t make half
the trouble that a hidden spark will.
Watch out for them little spiteful re
marks that has a habit of poppin’ out.
There’s no excuse for a woman
lookin’ ugly after she’s dressed.
FOR THE GANDER—
The way some of the girls dance
nowadays looks as if they was bent
on hip-notizin’ a man.
It on’y takes one man to write a
show that it keeps fifty men busy
puttin’ on.
You can’t change a tire on a movin’
automobile.
No car is a good buy at any price
if the guy that wants to sell it can't
find the key.

*'l see where there is a movement
for modest dress,” says Observing
Olivia, “but any kind of a movement
is safe in a modest dress. What we
need to know is how to cross our
knees 'f an immodest one."
(Copyright.)
“Some were very magnificent with
long trains and great hangings of
sparkling ornaments.
"And some were simpler and the
light upon them would show pale
colors.
“But one day when Grandmother
Ice (I am leaving out all the ‘greats’
for it takes so long to use them all
each time and we know by now how
many there were) was dressed in her
best Ice dress she went to call upon
a pond.
"The pond was a lovely pond and It
had beautiful, clear water in it as a
nice pond should have.
“Grandmother Ice was charmed
with the pond.
“ ‘Winter is coming on,’ said Grand
mother Ice. ‘ln fact it will soon be
here, and I am wondering if you
would not like me and other members
of my family to cover up the ponds
and the lakes and the streams and
keep them warm all winter.
“ ‘You will be much warmer if we
do this.’
“And the pond was delighted and
begged Grandmother Ice to do this.
So Grandmother Ice sent word to the
other members of her family to cover
up the ponds and the lake and the
streams and so keep them warm all
winter.
“Then Grandmother Ice fastened
her lovely gown over the pond and
attached it to the sides of the ponds
in the same way that ladies will fast
en their dresses with hooks and eyes
and buttons.
“And then Grandmother Ice whis
pered to the pond and said:
“ ‘Dear, dear pond, how I love you.
I want to put my arms around you
and tell you that I think you are so
lovely. 1 want to whisper secrets to
you of the great Ice family.
“‘I want to tell you how beautiful
they are, how flue they like to be. I
want to tell you how people can take
us out after awhile, and save us for
the hot months of the summer.
“‘I want to tell you many, many
secrets.’
“That is the story of Grandmother
Ice and we know how she whispered
the lovely secrets of the Ice family to
the pond and how the other members
of the Ice family did the same with
the other ponds and streams and
lakes.
“And we all love to tell these se
crets when we’re visiting in the win
ter time these days. We tell how
Mother Nature helps us, and how
Mother Nature’s different children
help us, too.”
And all of them said:
“Ah, yes, we love to tell these se
crets and we love to hear again and
again the story of dear Great, Great,
Great, Great, Great, Great, Great,
Great, Great-Grandmother Ice.”

CTHE WHY of
SUPERSTITIONS
By ,H. IRVINQ KIN Q
L JCKY-BONES
DID you ever carry a “lucky-bone”
In your pocket? Many people
have and many people do. On the
eastern coast of the United States
and Canada the lucky-bone is the
small, serrated bone found in the head
of the cod: in the middle western
states it is the small bone found in
the head of the gar. The lucky-bone
not only brings good fortune but in
some sections is supposed to have also
a therapeutic value as a preventative
of cramps—a most valuable pocket
piece. In southern Europe a little
fish of silver, or some other material,
is worn as a charm against the evil
eye and other malevolent influences —
as a lucky amulet. But a bone fropi
a fish’s head is just as efficacious and
much less ostentatious.
The head being the center of the
fish’s mystic life, the little bone in it
is well calculated to represent the
fish, being its least perishable part
and calculated to retain, therefore,
most perfectly the qualities inherent
in that body of which it once formed
a portion. That same magic of asso
ciation by which primitive man con
sidered the hair, nails and teeth
works with regard to the little bone
from the bead of the fish. Now the
fish, from most ancient times, was the
symbol of the reproductive power of
water. Water on the fields made the
corn grow —gave life to vegetation. A
creature that lived in water, like the
fish, was an obvious symbol of the re
productive power of the element in
which it lived—which had, apparently,
given it birth. Isis, as the goddess of
reproduction, the "Mother of the
World” was intimately associated in
Egypt! n statues and painting with
the fish and frequently wears one up
on her head instead of the usual disk
and horns. The lucky-bone has a
very ancient and respectable descent.

Sewing Needles
The invention of the sewing needle
was ascribed by the ancients to the
goddess of war, Bellona. The skill in
embroidery of the Babylonians, Phyry
gians and Egyptians attested to their
familiarity with needles. The steel
needle was invented by the Chinese.

THE NEW CURRENCY
ONE of the interesting events of
the new year will be the new pa
per currency to be issued by the gov
ernment about the first of July. The
size of the bills will be uniform for
all denominations but they will differ
very much in design. Those of one
dollar denomination will be ornamen
tal in design, especially on the back,
while those between one dollar and
one hundred will have, instead of an
ornamental design, engravings of
prominent buildings.
Each bill will Dear the portrait of
a famous American statesman as fol
lows: One dollar, Washington; two
dollars, Jefferson; five dollars, Lin
coln; ten dollars, Hamilton; twenty
dollars, Jackson; fifty dollars, Grant;
one hundred dollars, Franklin; five
hundred dollars, McKinley; one thou
sand dollars, Cleveland; five thousand
dollars, Madison, and ten thousand
dollars, Chase.
The size of the new currency will
be G 5-16 by 2 5-IG. Because they
will be much smaller than the pres
ent currency they will be more easily
handled and will be issued at a more
economical cost to the government.
The size of the currency however
will not alter its face value. They
will be just as difficult to procure, and
just as difficult to save. Their pur
chasing power will be just the same.
As the silver dollar is of par value,
not because it contains a dollar’s
worth of purs silver, for it does not,
but because of the stamp of the Unit
ed States mint, so the new currency,
just like the old, is secured by the
vast reserve of the government.
Our greatest satisfaction will de
pend, not upon how much of the new
currency we will make, but upon how
much of it we will save.

How It Started
By Jean Newton
“BUGBEAR”
LITERALLY this word means "a
bear goblin,” or “a bear of a gob
lin!” To indulge a little further in
slang, it is “a whale of a fight!”
"Bugbear” for an imaginary fear, a
specter, ogre, scarecrow, takes its
origin in the old and now obsolete
significance of the word "bug” as a
hobgoblin. Derived from the Welsh
“bwg,” which meant a specter or an
elf, the word is found in several pas
sages of Shakespeare used with this
old significance.
So “bugbear” is simply a bear-gob
lin, something particularly frightful.
And though its modern significance is
in light vein it is in the old form that
the word has survived in our lan
guage.

THE HOLY SPIRIT
LESSON TEXT—John 16:7-11; Ro
mans 8:12-17, 26, 27.
GOLDEN TEXT—For as many as ar*
led by the Spirit of God, these are son*
of God.
PRIMARY TOPIC—Our Unseen Help
er.
JUNIOR TOPIC—Our Unseen Helper,
INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOP
IC —How the Holy Spirit Helps Us.
YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOP
IC—The Work of the Holy Spirit.
I. The Personality of the Spirit
(John 10:7, 8).
Personality Is here implied liy the
use of the personal pronoun, lu the
original Scriptures personal pronouns
are used uniformly in speaking of
the Spirit Then, too, He is called the
Comforter. The word “comforter” lit
erally means one called to stand by
the side of another ns a helper, coun
sellor and guide. While Jesus so
journed in the world He was such to
His disciples. He assured them that
upon His withdrawal the Holy Spirit
would take His place as friend, helper
and counsellor. The personality of the
Spirit is also proved by the fact that
He performs acts only possible to per
sons. In John 14:26 He performs the
function of a teacher. He not only
teaches, but He speaks as a person,
giving direction to the disciples as in
Acts 8:20 and 13:2. His personality
is again proved by the fact that men
act toward Him as they could act only
toward a person. In Isaiah 63:10 the
prophet declared that men vexed the
Holy Spirit. It would be manifestly
improper to speak of vexing an inilu
ence; only a person can be vexed. In
Matthew 12:31 Jesus speaks of men
blaspheming against the Holy Spirit.
It would be impossible to blaspheme
against an influence. In Ephesians
4:30 Paul speaks of grieving the Spirit.
Again, it would be manifestly improper
to speak of grieving an influence.
Further, in I Corinthians 12:11 Paul
speaks of the Holy Spirit exercising
the function of will. One of the es
sential characteristics of personality
Is that of volition. The Holy Spirit
is represented as divine. He has the
attributes of deity. In Psalm 130:7-9
He is declared to be omnipresent; In
I Corinthians 2:9-11 omniscient. He
also performs the works of God. He
is the creator and renewer (Ps.
104:30). He is called God in Acts
5:3-4, and II Corinthians 3:18.
11. How Believers are Related to
the Holy Spirit. They are regenerated
bv Him (John 3:5-8); they are in
dwelt by Him (I Cor. 6:19 Gal. 4:6).
He also fills (Eph. 5:18 and Acts
4:31). To be filled with the Holy
Spirit is -the duty of every believer.
No one has the right to perform any
work for Christ without this filling
(Luke 24:48,49; Acts 1:8). Even the
temporalities of the church should bo
In the hands of Spirit-filled men (Acts
6:1-3).
111. What the Holy Spirit Does
(John 16:8-11).
1. Convicts the world of sin (v. 8).
The one awful sin of the world is
unbelief. The Holy Spirit convicts the
people of the world of their error con
cerning sin and shows their guilt be
fore God.
2. He convicts the world of right
eousness (v. 10).
The resurrection and ascension of
Christ prove that He is the Righteous
One, and that righteousness is only
possible as He is accepted as Savior.
3. He convinces the world of judg
ment.
To be convinced of the reality of
judgment is the crying need of the
world today. Sin unatoned for shall
be punished. The sinner who refuses
the righteousness which God provided
in Jesus Christ also shall be judged.
4. The Spirit mortifies the deeds of
the flesh (Rom. 8:12, 13).
The only way to get the victory over
our carnal natures is to give the place
of rulership to the Holy Spirit
5. He leads the believer (v. 14).
The Spirit-filled believer lives the
life of the Son of God.
6. He gives assurance to the be
liever (Rom. 8:15-17).
The Holy Spirit witnesses together
with the human spirit to the reality
of the new birth.
7. He enables the believer to pray
according to the will of God (Rom.
8:26, 27).
While the believer does not know
how to pray as he ought the Holy
Spirit helpeth his Infirmity. All prayer
which the Holy Spirit, indites the
Heavenly Father answers.

should be a junior partner with the

A Ruined Day
The whole day may be ruined by at

"I know that man—
that is exactly the

SHE was listening to a demonstration of an Atwater Kent. Turning th
Full-vision Dial from one station to another, suddenly she heard
the voice of a friend she had not seen for years. She listened eagerly.
It was "exactly the way he talked.”
"I’ll take the set,” ahe said. "This radio tells the truth.”
Anyone can convince himself that Atwater Kent receivers and speakers
do give faithful reproduction. Listen to an orchestra and pick out the
individual instruments. Each has its own character —its own identity.
Turn to a male quartet, a piano solo, a radio drama with all the
varying voices and inflections —or to the President when he speaks.
Every sound is true to the original. That is the standard of Atwater
Kent performance.
Atwater Kent gives it to you for less money. Less money because
Atwater Kent Radio is manufactured in great quantities, making econo
mies of production possible. Yet this huge output does not affect quality
in the slightest. For every set, besides being made of the finest materials,
has to pass 222 tests or inspections in the course of manufacture.
Turn the Full-vision Dial and listen to "the radio that tells the truth.”

Sports That Put Too
Much Tax on Athlete)
Although not one case of heart dis
ease traceable to athletics has been
found in investigations Into the con
dition of college athletes, the old
myth of “athletic heart” still persists,
points out Hugh Fullerton in Liberty
Magazine.
The writer, however, admits that
there are some athletic activities that
are dangerous. “Rowing, especially
In four-mile races,’’ he writes, “is held
up as the most dangerous of all con
tests In its after effects, and the quar
ter and half-mile runs are deemed the
most dangerous In track athletics.
The terrific strain upon the respira
tory system in these contests is dan
gerous except to perfectly prepared
men, and they sometimes result in
permanent heart injuries.”
