ELLSWORTH GAME

The Weal Independent basketballquintet won. its first game of the sea-son here last Thursday, by trampingover Ellsworth by the score of 60 to15. The locals looked like a great bas-ketball team against their very muchweaker opponents. Ellsworth waswithout the services of Howard andArt' Elzinga and Herb Peebles whichweakens their team considerably. Thelocals started the game with their sec-ond stringers, H. Bader and Clark attha-forwards, "Tiny" Cihak and"Cfiff" Dennis at guard and "Chet"Bigelow at center. At the close of thefirst quarter tne score was knotted at2 ap. Then the locals brought in theirfirst stringers, Chris Taylor and"Cherp" Swafford at forward, Klingani : "Spin" Cihak at guard and ArneHegerberg at center. They broughtthe fecore up as the half ended 19 and5 irf favor of the locals. The secondsreturned to play the third quarterand.at the end of that period the scorewas 24 to 11 with the locals out infroiit. The regulars j-eturned in thefinal period and scored 26 points towin the game. The locals showed a:ood passing attack for the first game.

"Spin" Cihak was the high scoredof the evening, getting seven fieldgoals for a total of 14 points. MaxBolser led for Ellsworth, getting threefield goals for six points.

Proper Use AndKind of Wood

Will Save Repairs

American residences and otherbuildings are in urgent need of re-pairs because of faulty constructionand of little or no repairs having beenmade during the past severer years*According to figures compiled by theFederal Housing Administration thereare 29,000,000 buildings and homesin this country, 16,000,000 of whichneed repairing. It. is stated that 80percent of all residences in the Uni-ted States are of wood construction

I and that 98 per cent of all farmbuildings are of wood. Wood, there-fore, will'constitute the bulk of thematerial that will be used for theserepairs and thought and care shouldbe devoted to the places, conditions,and kinds of wood under which woodreplacements are made.

Defects which show up in woodbuildings are frequently ascribed tothe material-used when in realitythey should be attributed to the de-sign, installation, or maintenance ofthe building, according to engineersat the U. S. Forest Products Labora-tory at Madison, Wis. When defectsshow up it is natural that the first re-action should be to turn to anotherwood or some other material as themeans of avoiding the repetition ofthe defect. Before doing so, however,it is well to-be sure that the wood hasnot been misused or a simple changein design, fabrication, or method willnot correct the trouble or that evenmore' serious trouble will not be en-countered by turning more or" lessblindly to another wood or anothermaterial, the drawbacks of which areunknown or have not be.en carefullyconsidered.

It is important to realize that inwood construction more unsatisfac-tory service results from the failureto use dry wood and to keep it dry,than from any other cause. It is mois-ture and the change in moisture con-tent that are largely responsible fordecay, plaster cracks,, ai? leakage,rulling loose of fastenings, vibrationof floors, peeling pf paint, anc| thewarping and stipking of <jopt« «n^windows. •

The man who pays the repftir hillsshould insist upon the use of dry lum-ber in his repairs, ffe oan and. will getit when he knows its importance. Heshould assure himself (hat the deale*from whom he buys haa purchased drylumber and has kept it properly piledand protected from the weather whilein the ywds, Having obtained drylumber, he should keep it dry and hethen will not have to make frequentand costly repairs.

KALKASKA GAME

15

The local Independent basketballteam won its second game of the sea-son Monday, Dec. 23, by defeatingKalkaska 18 to 14 on the latter'sfloor. This game proved to be a veryhard game and the locals were hardpressed all the way. At the end ofthe first period the locals were trail-ing by a 6 to 6 score. At the end ofthe half, due to "Slats" Elzinga whomade three baskets in quick succes-sion, the locals were out in front bya 11 to 10 count. The third period en-ded with i;he locals leading 16 to 12,and the last quarter/each team battledmaking a basket

"Slats" Elzinga was the high scor-er of the night with four field goalsfor eight points and his defense workwas also outstanding.

Kalkaska was made up of their lastseasons high school team and with alittle more experience they wil proveto be a hard team for any ball clubto beat.— . . ' . _ . .

In the opening game the secondteam won in the final seconds of playby the score of 24 to 22. James Li-lak, last year high school player, madea field goal with but two seconds toplay, to put the locals out in front.

Atwood Gives MoreTime For '35 Tag*

Extension of one month of thedeadline for the purchase of 1936automobile license plates has beengranted by Orville B. Atwood, Sec-retary of State. The order specifiesthat new plates must be purchased bymid-night, Friday, January 31, ifcars are to be driven. Other stateswill be notified of Atwood's decision,and will be requested to be guided byit, so far as Michigan plates are con-cerned. Motorists contemplating dri-ving out of Michigan any time afterJanuary 1, however, are cautionedthat inconvenience may result if theycarry 1935 plates; in many states,January 1 is the absolute deadlineeach year.

Atwood warned that further exten-sion after January 31 is not contem-plated, calling attention to the factthat 1936 plates were placed on salethis year far earlier than in previousyears, as a device for aiding the mo-tor industry which placed its 1936models on the market considerably inadvance of the date in previous years.

Because of the advanced date forplacing 1936 plates on sale, it is a nat-ural consequence that the final datefor purchase of the plates will alsobe advanced this year. The law per-mits extension of 60 days after Janu-ary 1, in the discretion of the Secre-tary of State. At the time the law wasenacted,.however, new plates were be-ing placed on sale in December of thepreceding year; this year, sale ofplates was started much in advance ofthat date.

Pruning Young Forest TreesIncreases Profit

Says Products Laboratory

The record of who felled the firsttree and hewed it into lumber in thiscountry is buried in the unwrittenhistory of the American Indian, who,

--untold centuries before the ap-pearance of the white man, suppliedmost of his wants from the forest.The first settlers were more interest-ed in setting tap shelters against theweather and against the Indian thanthey were in setting down the early-tistory of the lumber business.

Knots were few in the logs. whichhey cut to build their buildings be-ause the country was covered with

virgin forests in which the trees stoodfor hundreds of years so thick thatnature had taken care of the pruning,forming straight long trunks of clearwood.

With the removal of the virgin for-ests, second-growth stands are takingtheir place. Lack of shade and widespacing of the trees in these newerstands allow many low branches todevelop that are not naturally pruned.Many farmers, whether they realizeit or not, have stands consisting large-ly of second growth. Such stands willyield inferior lumber to that whichis obtained from virgin stands. .

The U. S. Forest Products Labora-tory at Madison, Wis., has found thatearly removal of the lateral brancheswill greatly increase the money valueof the lumber obtained from second-growth stands. In second-growthwoodlands, branches which die fromshading often remain on the tree fora long time or the dead limbs breakoff and leave stubs which cause looseand defective knots, preventing theproduction of clear lumber. Antiftc-ial pruning is a means of supplemen-ting the natural progress Without adoubt, many second-growth wood-land stands can be greatly increasedin value if a portion of the trees areproperly pruned at the proper time.An analysis by the Laboratory oflumber grades from second-growthstands indicates on the basis of lum-ber actually cut, that, had the lowerbranches of the trees been properlypruned to a height of 16 feet whennot more than 4 or 5 inches in diame-ter breast high, the lumber valuefrom these stands would have been,increased almost $100 per acre. Thepercentage of lumber classed in thebest grade would have been increas-ed from 2% to 42 per cent.

For successful pruning it is impor-tant that the work, be done when thetrees are of proper size. As a rule, tKebranches should not be pruned fromthe Tipper 1/3 of the trunk. In all ca-ses the branches should be cut closeto, and parallel with, the trunk sothat they will be covered quickly andsmoothly by the increasing diametergrowth of the- tree7 Pruning may bedone at any time of the year, exceptin jthe South, where there is dangerfrom injurious insects in summer.

HONEY CAN BE USEDTO MAKE FINE FOODS

Michigan honey can be used inbaked goods, candy, canned goods,salads, desserts, and drinks to replacepart or all of the sugar ordinarilycalled for, in the recipes according tothe home economic department atMichigan State College.

A delicious candy can be made en-tirely from farm products. Cut pieces' "of apple and simmer them in honeyuntil the pieces are clear, then removeand roll in chopped nuts. The piecesalso can be rolled in cocoanut or canbe coated with chocolate.

Honey bittersweet is more difficultto make but rewards the patience ofthose who master the art. Place asection of comb honey in the refrig-erator for 24 hours, then cut intopieces three-fourth inch long andthree-eights inch wide. Place the pie-ces on waxed paper on trays andchill for 30 minutes. Prepare choco-late for dipping and keep it over wa-ter at a temperature of not over 120degrees. Dip the pieces of honey and'drop a nut-meat on each piece. Thechildren will save any pieces which

\

are not coated thickly enough to keepthe honey from dripping.

Honey is about one-fifth water sothe amount of water called for by therecipe should be reduced by one-fifthfor every cupful of honey used to re-place sugar. Each tablespoonful ofhoney supplies from 65 to 100 calor-ies. It is easily digested, fr -tightlylaxative, and contains a small amount"of minerals.

Extension Bulletin No: 150 con-tains many recipes for the use of hon-ey. This will be sent to anyone re-questing it from the Bulletin Clerk ofEast Lansing.

PLANTS MAKE HOMEMUCH MORE CHEERFUL

Most homemakers greatly enjoybeautiful plants but the belief that itis difficult to grow them to have themindoors prevents many homes fromhaving these natural decorations, ac-cording to the horticultural depart-ment at Michigan State College.

Plants have certain natural re-quirements which are more difficultto supply indoors than outside- butmany plants can be grown "success-fully in the house. AH plants requirelight, heat, moisture, and air, and theamounts needed vary with the differ-ent species of plants. All floweringplants need more sunlight than do thefoliage plants. -

Geraniums, begonias, and rosesthrive best in a south window butferns, vines, or palms make the bestgrowth in an east or west window.North windows- admit too little lightfor the best results with house plants.

Lack of moisture in the air is oneof the chief difficulties of growingplants in a dwelling house. The mois-ture can be supplied by spraying thefoliage of plants twice daily -with wa-ter. Shallow metal trays in which theflower pots are placed ori a layer ofpebbles covered with;water also aid insupplying additional water. The soilaround the plant should never be al-lowed to become, thoroughly dry.

Too much watev around the plantsroots prevents the absorption of airand slowly kills the plant. Someplants, such as cactus and euphorbia,require very little water, but fernsneed a great deal. Provision must bemade for the draining of the excesswater in pots or plant boxes, Waterevaporiates faster from earthen con-tainers than from wooden boxes. Rainwater is better than well water forplants. Plants should be watered whenthe surface of the soil becomes dryarid enough water should be used sothat water drains from the bottom ofthe container• Most common plants will thrive intemperatures ranging from 60 de-grees Farenheit at night to 68 degreesin the day time. The primrose, ciner-aria, hydrangea, and cyclamen growbest at lower temperatures. Plantsplaced near windows must be protec-ted on cold nights by drawing: the cur-tains or by coverings of paper.

The best container for house plantsis the common, porous clay pot. Paint-ed or glazed earthenware is impervi-ous to air; Pots which are to large us-ually retain enough excess water sothe soil becomes sour. Yellow foliageon a plant is often an indication thatthe container is so small that the rootsare crowded and are not able to devel-op properly. Such plants should betransferred to sr larger pot.

and Premier Laval olFrance turned outdlsmnl failure. Thistorm of opposition tithe scheme w h I cwould give Mussolinitwo-thirds o£ the Af-rican country as a re-ward for stopping anattack that was de-nounced by theLeaguOf Nations, broughthe British and Frenchgovernments to tinpoint of collapse. T<

iave the Baldwin cabinet, Hoare re-signed on the eve of a parliamentarybattle in the house of commons, andIt was believed the government thuswould be able to win a vote of confidence. Hoare was made the goat,for the entire ministry shared the re-sponsibility: of the peace plan.

In Paris Edouard Herrlot, member-of the—cabinet without portfolio, re.

signed as president of the powerfulRadical Socialist party whose support1B needed by Laval to maintain his majorlty in the parliament Herriot's ac-tion, In the opinion of some observers,-presaged Laval's early downfall.

Hoare's position became untenableiwhen he learned that the peace plan•was about to be buried at GenevaCapt. Anthony Eden, probably neverenthusiastic for it, practically repudi-ated the scheme in a public meeting ofthe Jeague council. Laval also spoke,More reservedly, declaring that even

' if the plan were rejected, the councilmust continue to seek conciliation.After the session, however, he admittedto French newspaper men that theplan, for the time being at least, Isidead.

The council received from AddisAbaba a note In which Emperor HalleSelassie bluntly accused Great Britain«nd France of baving violated theleague covenant by seeking "to imposeupon Ethiopia a predominant controlby Italy with the certain aim of en-trusting to Italy the administration ofthe capital and a large part of the ter-ritsry. The League of Nations In con-senting to lend Itself to such dissimula-tion would violate article X of thefovenant"

In view of all the opposition andM Mussolini's hint that he would re-ject the proposals; the league councilkilled" the plan entirely, softening itsaction by formally thanking GreatBritain and France for their "prelimi-nary efforts? toward peace. A perma-nent committee of 13 councilors—allbut the Italian member—was namedto study the Italo-Ethiopian crisis.

Dispatches from the front said apreat battle was In progress In the_Takkaze river sector and that the Ital-J-lans, after repulsing a strong attackby the Ethiopians, were retaliatingwith a vigorous counter-movement Alarge force of natives was reported tobe ambushed in a mountain pass, andthe Italian officers declared few wouldescape. Losses on both sides were•heavy.

Talmadge went to'Washington and there boldly an-nounced that be would bs a candidatefor the Presidential nomination! B edeclared the Democrats would lose theelection if they put Roosevelt at the

t head of their ticket apdn , and de-

nounced the President as an "usurper'in the party.

The governor also announced thaia convention of the "southern Jeffer-sonlah Democracy" would be held iAtlanta the last week In January forthe purpose of formulating a programto battle the New Deal and PresidentRoosevelt.

He added: "The southern and bor-der states have 360 votes in the Dem-ocratic national convention. It takesbut 367 votes to block the nominationof. a President We are going to brln;a lot of delegates to that convention.

T"\rCTATOR of Venezuela for twenty-•*-' seven years, during most of thetime president of the country, Gen.Juan Vicente Gomez died in Caracas

of an old malady atthe age of seventy-eight years. The cab-inet named Gen. Ele-azar Lopez Contreras,minister of war, asprovisional presidentto hold office until hissuccessor is elected bycongress. While gunsboomed In salute,Gomez was burled on

„ „ the anniversary of hisGen. Gomei a ^ u m p t l o n o f p o w e r

in 1909. On that day he executed acoup d'etat by which he seized thegovernment while President ClprianoCastro was in Europe seeking health.During his regime there were manyncipient revolts but he crushed them

all with an iron'hand; and even whenhe presidential chair was occupied

by others his control of the govern-ment was absolute.

Among Gomez's greatest contribu-tions to Venezuela were the establishrment of friendly relations with foreignnations and/peace within the country,the building of a fine system of auto-mobile highways, and development ofnatural resources.

He made the most of the great pe-troleum deposits at Lake Maracalbo,granting many concessions to foreignoil companies, but placing an exporttax on oil. The industry in Venezuelagrew until it now holds third rank inthe world.

WASHINGTODIGEST

BY WILLIAM BRUCKARTNATIONAL PRESS BLDG. W A S H I N G T O N T & . C .

Washington.—In our discussion lastweek of the problem facing-the new

_ session of congress,Bonui space was devoted

Will Pats to the Townsend$200-a-month old age

pension plan. Next to the Townsendplan, probably the hottest potato con-fronting the administration and con-gress Is the soldiers' bonus. It is onthe doorstep and one not to be dodged.Unless all signs fail, congress will passa bill providing for Immediate cashpayment of the bonus—and PresidentRoosevelt will sign it. ' "

At the present time the total num-ber of bonus certificates In force isapproximately 3,500,000. They have anaggregate value" of about $3,500,000,000.But from time to time congress-hasenacted legislation permitting the vet-erans of the World war to borrowmoney from the government on thesecertificates and figures supplied bythe Veterans bureau here Indicate thatthese loans total about $1,700,000,000.Thus It Is made to appear that if con-gress provides for immediate paymentof the bonus and the President ap-proves, there will be a hew drain onthe treasury of approximately $1,800,-000,000. While there is no connectiondirectly between the Townsend planand the soldiers' bonus, the two pro-grams are linked In one way: eachproposes to take money out of thefederal treasury.

Withdrawal of further money fromthe United States treasury for what-ever purpose becomes an Importantquestion at this time because our na-tion now shoulders the greatest debtit has ever known. Within the lastweek, the treasury has borrowed anadditional $900,000,000 and at the sametime i t refunded about $480,000,000more. Refunding is simply paying offone bond by Issuing another so thatthe financial transaction in the middleof December iflyolved almost $1,400,-000.000 and when that job was com-pleted the debt of the United Statesreached a new peak of 530,500,000,000,or $240 for every man, woman andchild of our 130,000,000 population.• Now, $240 may not seem like muchof a debt for each person to assumebuflts payment—and debts have to bepaid—devolves not upon 130,000.000people but upon 9 considerably lessnumber. The national debt, therefore,must be considered from the stand-point of the burden It places upon acomparably small number of people —those who pay the taxes.

: • . • • •

Payment of the bonus or the Town-send old age pensions necessarily must

u/- i i A J J a d a t 0 t h a t d e b t

Will Add While there areto Debt m a n y authorities

who Insist that thenational debt can go much higher with-out impairing the value of the bondsthe government Issues, the fact can-not be disputed that any additions to

r.the, present financial burden reducethe possibility of early payment ofthat debt-

Then, the question of its mainte-nance becomes important. The debtbears interest which must be paidevery year. On the present basis, theinterest on the; national debt alone ap-prpximates $750,000,000 per year andthat Interest results from probably .thelowest rate we will see for manyyears. Indeed, the chances are thatany future borrowings or refund! ngswill have to be accomplished at inter-est rates higher than the governmentnow is paying and that means, ofcourse, an Increase in the annual In-terest charge.

Whatever the merits are of eitherthe Townsend old age pension planor the cash payment of, the bonus.the fact remains that congressionalapproval of either one or both neces-sarily means the piling up of addi-tional debt. I know that the Town-send plan supporters contend that theold age pension can be made self-sus-taining but it Is a physical impossi-bility for It to be self-sustaining in thefirst few years of its life and that obli-gation necessarily must be assumed bythe treasury. There Is no provisionwhatsoever for raising the money withwhich to pay the soldiers' bonus. Itwill be simply a cash outlay by thetreasury if congress orders It done andthe treasury, either must have hewtaxes or must borrow the money. ThereIs no' possibility now that either con-gress or the President will proposeseriously the laying of new taxes' tomeet the bonus payment because,after all, 1936 Is an election year andPresident Roosevelt Is seeking re-elec-tion.

The history of the soldier "Sonusfight is one revealing consistent oppo-

_ sltlon by PresidentsFought by to its payment.

4 President* From the time Itwas first proposed In

congress In the administration of Pres-ident Harding, no President thus farhas been willing to support i t Hard-ing, Coolidge, Hoover and Roosevelt,ap to this time, have fought paymentof the bonus In a lump sum. Each hadhis own reasons but each reached thesame conclusion, namely, that itplaced too much of a drain on thetreasury and consequently too muchof A burden on the taxpayers of the

country. Each President has held itto be class legislation—appropriationof funds of all for the benefit of *few.

With the advent of the Koosevelt ad-ministration and its New Deal poli-cies many recommendations were madeand acied upon appropriating moneyfrom the general treasury for the useof a single class. The public, worksand relief funds, appropriated to keeppeople from starving, falls within thatcategory. No one disputes the neces-sity for feeding the destitute; no one .argues against providing food, clothingand fuel for those unable to care forthemselves and no one can take issuewith the fact that when states andcities were unable to care for theirdestitute, the federal government wascompelled to step in. . Nevertheless,general funds were used for a limitednlimber-of the population.

That fact is probably 'the, most In-fluential at the present time when theYsoldiers' bonus and the Townsend oldage pension problems are before con-gress. With few exceptions, I have.found representatives and senators say-ing that it is difficult to reconcile sup-port for the gigantic relief appropria-tions and at the same time refusal ofsupport for the other two.

The Roosevelt administration like-wise finds itself In difficulties in ex-pressing any opposition to the soldlers'-bonus because of the admitted wastethat has gone on. It has added morethan $8,000,000,000 to the nationaldebt since March, 1933, and the mostfriendly of administration critics ad-mit the wastage has been substantlaL

Speaking,, of the admlnlstration'sipolitical efforts to maintain or In-,

crease party strength,Washington observ-e r s are now ,con-vtneed that the Pres-

ident will depend upon the South andthe West for re-election. If these ob-servers are correct in their analysis ofthe early campaign methods, Mr.Roosevelt Is trying to align agricul-ture and labor as the foundation stonesfor a vote victory. It is-a most inter-esting circumstance, politically. It isthe first time It has been, attemptedby the "Ins"-.&a(l 4fc_

thing to the knowledge of politicians-'If It works satisfactorily.

Heretofore, attempts have been mademany times" by the "outs" to align la-bor and agriculture to defeat the partyin power. It has always failed. Sothat If it can be accomplished by theparty in power, there will have beendemonstratea how the use of publicmoney combined with favorable legisla-tion of a class character eau be em-ployed to maintain control of the gov-ernment

There is every reason to believethat "Big Jim" Farley, postmaster gen-eral, chairman of the Democratic Na-tional committee and chairman of the-New York State Democratic commit-tee, Is not hopeful of winning the Eastwith the possible exception of his>home state of New Tork. Of course,Mr. Farley will not admit the truth ofthis statement nor will any of hissubordinates make a confession thatthe East Is turning against the Presi-dent and the New Deal. Such aaadmission would wreck state organiza-tions of his party, so he glibly insiststhat Mr. Roosevelt will carry as manystates as he did in 1932 but the under-current of events and plans of theDemocratic national committee indi-cate otherwise.

The success of the administration's!plan to mold agriculture and labor

Republicans going to turn large-ly on what the He-

publicans do. Thus far, it can besaid that the New Deal plans for align-ing labor and agriculture are movingforward quite undisturbed. The rea-son is the sleepiness and cowardice ofRepublican leadership. It has donenothing on this score showing, eitherInitiative or courage. Of course, theRepublican strategy appears to be oneof delay in order to avoid an earlycounterattack from the New Deal "butpolitical observers here—men who havestudied polities for a quarter of a cen-tury and more—fall to understand whythe Republican National committee isnot active in raising money /or theforthcoming battle.

If the Republicans expect'to makean appreciable dent in tbe New Dealarmor, they must go to the country.If they expect to hold the East wherebusiness leaders admittedly are anti-New Deal, the argments why theyshould adhere to Republican policiesmust be advanced continuously. Kthey expect to make any gains inMiddle West or in tbe Pacificarea, their side of the story must betolfl" to the voters. As I said earlier,little if anything is being done in thisdirection—so little In fact that an un-biased observer falls to see how Mr.Farley's statement that Mr. Rooseveltwill carry as many states as he did in1932 can be disproved.

It Is generally understood that a re-organization of the Republican Na-tional committee will take plac*soon.

There are three words which aregreat barriers to success.' One IsSomeday, and the other two are, 1can't, Persons who use these wordsfail to do what they would like tobecause they put a hindrance in theway. The people who say ,1 can'tdon't even try. They limit their wl'lpower, and frustrate their wishes.No one can Bucceed who doesn'teven try to. It is the ones who'start and steadily pursue their waywho eventually arrive at the de-sired destination. Those who Hedown on the Job and excuse them-selves with the idea they cannot dothe thing, who audibly, or mentallysay to themselves, "I can't," arefailures. . . .

It is a serious matter just to think"I can't" do whatever there is to bedone, or, what one longs to get ac-comDllshed. It Is promoting failure.If a mother sees that a child Is In-clined to say "I can't," she shouldencourage him to try to do the_,.th!ng.She can show him It can be done bydoing the thing before his eyes, aridhelping him to do it after her. Shecan spur him to action by offeringhim a trifling prize tor succeeding, ;.QrIf the youngster Is really too little todo whatever the thing is, she canstimulate his mind to realize 'hisgrowing power and ability to suc-ceed when he" Is older. In theseways she can nip In the bud the In-sidious Idea that he cannot even try.She encourages the Idea thatwhatever Is worth doing, is worthtrying to do.

About Ihe Left-HandedThe word "sinister" whose modern

meaning -W evil or mallKn. is simpl.Tliiitin .for "left hand." It was once tie-lieved that left-handed persons weregenerally wicked. But. as rtn author-ity points out th the I^ancet. th«t er-Uerience does not confirm this view,though it has been discovered in somecountries that the percentage of left-hander^s among criminals is greaterthan among law-abiding people.

DiscoveTy of a'method of pruningfruit trees Which improves the qualityof fruit and does not reduce yields asold methods did is reported by the de-partment of horticulture at MishiganState College. ;.;

This jdiscovery came as a continua-tion of previous work which had pro-ved that ordinary pruning methodsseriously reduce the yields of fruit.The new method is caljgg' thin woodpruning, and its worth has been pro-ved by several year's of experiment-ing in Michigan orchards

The basis of the method is the re-moval of small branches from the in-terior of the tree. It has been provedthat this wood bears but little fruitand that j s usually^pcorly colored andsmall in size;

Some orchard owners doubted thevalue of thi* pruning method and re-fused to Rave it used in their orch-ards. The branches of trees which oneowner believed should be removedar.d those which the discoverers of thenew method wanted to prune werethen marked with strings and left tobear fruit. The owner found that hewould have lost several bushels of Ifancy apples if he had pruned by theold method.

Thin Wood pruning is describedfully in Special Bulletin No, 275, justpublished by Michigan State College.!

I Many illustrations portray theeffectsi of the method and the'type of woodremoved from the tree, the bulletinwill be sent to those requesting it •from the Bulletin Clerk, East Lan-|sing. ' - - - • • . •

L»ON'T APPLY

Sanctions

AGAINST YOUR OWN NEIGHBORS

When nations apply "sanctions"—that is, cut

off trade with another nation—there may be

economic hardship on all sides.

The same may be true of communities and

individuals. How few of us stop to think when

we trade unnecessarily away from home, that

we are in a small way applying "sanctions"

against our own merchants and neighbors!

It is a good thing to trade at home when-

ever possible. It helps to keep local wealth

circulating for local good. Let us

keep this in mind and do our proper

part as citizens of this community.

We shall all benefit as a result.

* * •Van Sweringen's Passing.

GRANTED, that in these shiftingtimes, there is a somewhat prev-

alent tendency to regard it this wayand be governed accordingly: for aman to have been a success is a crime,but to have been a failure is a pro-fession.

Kven-so, there's still a thrill, reading— of the career of M. J. Van Sweringen.

Horatio Alger might have written him.He starts life as a newsboy in Cleve-land. Today, at fifty-four, he lies deadthere.

How many millions he left, nobodyknows. Probably he didn't much care.It must have been the sport and notthe size of the game-bag that madehim a dominant figure in railroadingand finance.

That's one side of the American pic-ture. The other side is that almostevery one of us knows, or has heard,•of a former reputed millionaire who'dlike to get a good job somewhere sell-ing ne.vspapers.

THE Explorer II, balloon of .theNational Geographic society-army air corps stratosphereflight, which rose to a record

altitude of more than 7.3,000 feet onI Armistice day, was the. largest freeI balloon ever built. Commanded by Capt.j Albert W. Stevens, who also was theJ scientific observer, and piloted by Capt.i'OrvIl Anderson, both of the army airr corps, the balloon soared more than! two miles farther Into the upper airj than the previous official altitude rec-j- ord (61,237 feet), made by Lieut. Com.i mander T. G. W. Settle of the navy

and Maj; Chester Fordriey of the ma-rine .corps, on November 20, 1033. The

; unofficial balloon altitude record priorto the flight of the Explorer II was

i 72,200 feet, made by Russian balloon-: ists. The crew of three men was killed' when the gondola crashed on descent,

January 30, 193-1.

• If a tent were made from the bagof the Explorer II 20,000 men could

: find standing room beneath -it, with' space to spare. It will cover about

two and two-thirds acres of ground, or115,845 square feet. It has a capacityof 3,700,000 cubic feet of gas. This is23 per cent larger than the capacity ofthe Explorer I, used on the 1934 Na-tional Geographic-army air corps stra-tosphere flight and at that time therecord-breaker for size.

If fully, inflated on-a football fieldthe Explorer would cover more thanthe total width of the gridiron and

j about two-thirds of Its length. A build-1 ing more than eleven stories high and' of equal width and depth could be' placed easily inside it.

The big bag Is made of cotton fabric,treated repeatedly with rubber untilIt is gas-tight. The gondola, and Itsfour-and-one-half-ton load of men, In-struments, and ballast, was suspendedfrom a catenary band or girdle cement-ed to the lower part of the balloon.

Moored With Seven Miles of Rope.

Seven miles of rope, enough to reachfrom the earth to the stratosphere,were used to moor the giant bag dur-ing Its inflation and until the time of

I the take-off.! • Tlie balloon was Inflated with helium'. gas, which could not burn or explode,

Instead of the hydrogen gas used inI the Explorer I. Only about .26.0.0001 cubic feet of helium, about 7 per cent

of the bal.loon'3 capacity, was let Intothe bag at the start. As the balloonrose It expanded until at a height ofabout 12 miles it filled out the entireballoon into the shape of a perfectsphere.

; After the balloon became sphericaland the helium continueHUo expand.

- there was no danger of the bag burst-Ing because the excess gas escapeethrough four appendixes In the bot-tom. These are tubular openings likeinverted chimneys, 17 feet long and TWfeet In diameter.

1 The gas in the balloon was con-; trolled by two valves of a type In-

vented by Captain Stevens. Operatedby compressed air, .somewhat as air

, brakes are operated, the valves were: controlled from within the gondola.' They' could be used to let gas escapei fcaaMhe top of the balloon when it.l wai-desfred to halt the ascent tem-

porarily, or to hasten the. descentj towardf.eaTth..1 "The gondola of the Explorer IIj which housed the crew and ..preciousI scientific instruments Is a- big nine-footj bubble made of a magnesium alloy, thinj but strong. Though nearly as strong as.j eteel, the metal used in the sphere Is] less than one-fourth as heavy^TTTK' the_ world's lightest structural metal.1 Even aluminum Is half again as heavy.I . • • • ' . . • • ' -.

I New Lightweight Metal. Vj This lightweight champion of thei metals is a comparatively new bit ofI modern chemical magic. J.C.contains

95 per cent pure magnesium, one 'otthe lightest of substances. The mag-nesium is obtained from deep-buriedsupplies of salt water, or brine, pumpedfrom wells at Midland, Mich., by the*Dow Chemical company.

Though it appears hard and shinylike any 6ther metal when fashionedinto the material for the gondola, mag-nesium ground or shaved Into bits alsocan burn with a brilliant light. It wasused In photographers' flashlight pow-der before electric flash lamps were de-veloped, and In flares dropped by avia-tors at night during the World warto illuminate the ground for bombingand photography. .

Despite Us light weight, the mag-nesium alloy needs & thickness of only

three-sixteenths of an inch to give Itsufficient strength for the stratosphereballoon .gondola. It carried into thestratosphere on the flight a load of twolmen, inbre than~a ton of scientific -ap-jparatus and thousands of pounds of!ballast.

In tests it withstood strains fire:times as great as it was called upon1

to bear during the flight. During the(light It was subjected not only to the_load but the strain; of an air pressureInside that was far greater than thatoutside.

Walls of the gondola are macfiT ofrolled plates of the magnesium alloywelded together. The hatches are cast-ings of tlie same material. The entiregondola, with Its metal, floor, hatchcovers and a metal arm from whichsome Instruments were suspended,weighed 63S pounds. -

Sunny, Calm and Cold.In the stratosphere, it has been dis-

covered, continuous sunshine reigns,with nn storms, clouds, rains or fogs.But—it Is about 80 below zero ! AlsoIn this paradoxical region of the upperair the sky is so blue that It Is almostblack and sounds are strangely faintand feeble.

No summer resort on earth canequal the sunshine and calm of strato-sphere days. The sun shines from ris-ing to setting, every day, with a bril-liance unknown on earth, for therj islittle air, to .dim Its rays. Practicallyno water vapor exists In the strato-sphere, so there can be no clouds toshut out the sun. and hence no rainor fog. '1 he, turbulent air currents near-er the earth also are missing, so-storms are non-exivieni.

But even with this perfect weatheroverhead, the stratosphere ls\jr_frorabeing an-Ideal vacation spot. It t&as"cold as the desolate polar regions ofearth. A temperature of nearly 80 de-grees below zero Fahrenheit was re-corded In 1034, botli on the firaf Na-tional Geographic-army flight, to thestratosphere and In the Antarctic onthe second Ryrd expedition. And againon November 11, 10,'K, the Explorer IIfound a similar temperature. The air laso thin in the stratosphere that a manwould suffocate and die there unlessartificially supplied with oxygen.

The stratosphere is one of theeflxtb's newest frontiers, a region ofcold ait 20' miles or more thick, sur-rounding our globe as the skin sur-rounds an orange. It hangs above the-earth at a height ranging from -ten.miles a.t the equator to seven miles lathe latitude of the United States, while-over the poles it may hang lower still.

Its bottom 1s the level at which theair above the earth stops growing cold-1

er. Every one knows that the airgrows colder as one climbs higher onea mountain or in an airplane, and sci-entists formerly believed the coldness;steadily increased with altitude. Butabout 37 years ago It was found that-the temperature ceased to drop at ajheight of seven to ten miles, and re-:

mained about the. same as far up ascould be measured with thermometersjattached to small balloons.

Man Couldn't Live There.The stratosphere always stays • at

approximately the same low tempera-ture because the heat that its air ab-sorbs is almost exactly balanced by theheat it radiates away. It is-colder lawinter than In summer, but strangelyenough Is colder above the equator thaanearer the poles.

A man suddenly transported to thestratosphere could no more live thaahe could in. the depths of the sea. Notonly is there much too little oxygento keep him alive, but the tissues ofhis body would tend to expand be-cause the pressure inside his bodywould be far greater than that out-side. The crew of the Explorer II wassealed in a gondola and supplied withartlflcial air by an air-conditioningunit, ^ust as Is the crest of a subma-rine. -

Ail astronomers wish they could goto the stratosphere to observe the stars.At a height of 15 mllea they would bewell above most of the earth's atmos-phere, which acts like a swirling fog lafront of telescopes on earth and be-cause ot this the view Is partiallyspoiled. In a clear stratosphere skythe stars shine far more brilliantlythan we ever see them. At a heightof 20 miles the brighter stars probablycould be seen l'n daylight. That Is be-cause the stratosphere sky is almostblack. There are comparatively few airparticles to scatter the sun's rays atthat height, hence the sky does notappear as blue as it dues from tbaearth.

CAUGHT IN THE WILDBy ROBERT AMES BENNET

.CHAPTER VI—Continued

Garth himself was ready to quitwhen, in the twilight, they came downto where the steep pitch eased off on• small patch of tundra. He openedbis pack and spread the blanket onthe dry gravel in a hole under a pile(of boulders.

' At sight of the fat with the frozencaribou and smoked moose meat In thepack, Llllth -at once gathered drymoss. This time the raw caribou fleshwas seared over a fat-fed flre of themoss before being eaten. After themeal, Garth opened the gold-mountedcigar case and handed one of the Ha-vanas to its owner.

Mr. Bacilli hastily bit off the endfcnd lighted the cigar in the flame ofthe fat and moss fire. As he put it tohis lips he hesitated, then, with a per-ceptible effort, he turned to offer it tohis daughter.

l \ "Oh—ladies first, my dear."j , Lilith started to thrust out her hand.Homethlng seemed to catch i t Sheglanced at Garth and stood up.

VYOU need it more than I do, Dad.Good night, everybody. I'm dog tired."!

Her lather and Huxby looked ateach othdr in astonishment Garth wasless surriised. He smiled to himselfas he Jot more moss and fat on theflre a^f coiled up beside It. .

Toe short nights were already get-ting/longer and darker. When wakenedtiy the chill of midnight, Garth sawHufby lying on the other side of thefire' hole. The flre had burnt out. He-1brllt a new one. As its small flamelightened the darkness, tie saw thehalf-inch stub of the cigar clutched InHoxby's lingers.

Before sunrise, Garth was againawake. He filled the little pot with Iceand set it in the edge of the rebuiltflre, then began, cooking caribou meat.The others wake'fler\ almost too stifftojnp.se. .But all managed another big

_,rineai of\he meat. To top it off, Garth"\ had LIHih boli.a little tea In the wa-

ter from the melted ice.After the hot drink, even Mr. Ramilh

managed to hobble down the now fair-ly easy slope. The exercise gradually-warmed and relaxed stiffened muscles.-

The end of a long day's hike at lastbrought the party down the miles oftundra slopes to the edge ef timber-line. There was no trail—none at leastthat the city dwellers cbuld detect.Time and again Huxby declared thatGarth was lost no less utterly thanthe rest of them; that he was wander-ing at random. To silence the cavller,Garth began foretelling small land-marks before they came into view.This at last forced the engineer torealize that their guide was followinghis former trail through the forest mazeas surely as If It were a beaten path.The most positive proofs of all were themounds of dirt-covered ashes whereGarth had smothered his camp fires go-ing to the lost valley and returningfrom It to the Mackenzie.

He predicted they would reach ca-noe water on the seventh day. Butduring that morning Mr. Ramill turnedan ankle. Even after much soaking'in a cold spring and tight bandagingby Garth, the sprain held the million-aire down to a slow hobble. Ah aspenstaff enabled him to travel slowly un-til the noon meal. After that the paino\ereame him. He refused to move.

Garth looked doubtfully at the nonetoo large supply of food that was leftHis pack now weighed little more thanthe platinum alloy in Huxby's wolf-skin knapsack. .

He had allowed everyone to eat•without stint. That had been neces-sary In order to keep up the strengthof the chechahcos. But, as he hadforetold, the country was barren ofgame. There was none top much meatleft In his pack.

"Tf you can!t carry on, Mr. Ramill,you'll have to stay here and keep bath-Ing your ankle In thU rill," he said."We're too short of food, though, tolose any time. The stand of birch atthe stream is so small that I'll need a

I full three days to build our canoe,I The three of you follow down this

brook as soon as you can." -When he picked op a few pieces of

I meat and the rifle, Huxby spoke: "II should have the gun to protect Miss1 Ramill."

"There's nothing here to attack yon,"j Garth replied. "Just possibly, I mayI find game at the stream."

'JCould another pair of hands hehelpful In making the canoe?" Llllth

"Well—yes." 'The girl looked ;at_Baxby.__He di<L

not speak or move. She stood up.I'Dad, you'll be all right with Vivian.i am going to help Alan."

Her father shook his head. "Tonthould stay here with me. Let Vivian

Huxby rose, frowning. He looked atbarth with cold rancor. "I see, nofeed for anyone to go. I certainlyannot permit my fiancee to aceora-any you." ,j "She might have helped. Yon'd benly a hitirirance," Garth replied.' He awunn away at a rapid pace,

lut behind Mm he heard the girl speakl)arply: "Ixm't be silly, Vivian. Getut of my Wly."After that (came a quick patter of

Garth kept on for tome

i

distance as If he jjld not bear thesound. Then he baited behind an airder thicket to face the girl. She wasso dose behind that she almost ranInto him. He smiled into her eagereyes.

"This 1B a happy surprise, Lillth."Her eyelids sank, and her cheeks

crimsoned under their coat of pltch-and-grease mosquito dope. "Youneedn't fancy I'm running after you.It's—it's only because I want to getout of this henstty North country ofyours—and be rid of you, too!"

"So that's it. Well, you're a goodhater, but you're a real sport. You'regame. Tag along, if you wish."

He set off again at a pace twice asfast as the best her father had beenable to travel; An occasional snapof a twig behind him told that the.glrlwas still following. Yet he did notonce slacken his gait or look back un-til, three houra later, the brook beganto meander through a stretch of mus-keg. •- - .

At the edge of fEe swamp he stoppedbeside a game trail. Lillth came upbeside him, breathing deeply from thelong and rapid walk. He_p_ointed tothe big water-filled hoof prints in themud.

"We may be In luck. Moose passedhere yesterday—the water is clear inthe tracks. They may not have gonetoo far. Stay here, or be quiet."

An uptossed leaf showed that thewind was In his favor. He startedalong the trail. The tracks' were stilla day old when they turned out Intothe muskeg toward a lily pool. Amother swan and her brood of cygnetswere swimming around the Illy pads.

Garth skirted on along the border ofthe swamp to where a bend of thestream twisted In close to dry ground.Here was- the grove of birch of wfiichhe- had. spoken. He pointed to thefringe of willows below the birch.

Those bitten twigs—still white.They've been eaten off less than anhour ago. Stay here."

After another test of the wind, hewent ahead alone, silent as a lynx.Luck was with him. As he roundedthe bend he saw. the Immense antlersof an old bull moose rise above thewillows on the bank. Before thestartled beast could plunge Into thewater Garth dropped him with a bulletthrough the brain.

At the crash of the shot, threemoose cows -with calves broke coverbeyond the bull. The distance wasconsiderable and brush obscuredGarth's aim. He had to shoot fourtimes to bring down one cow and hercalf. But that was enough.

His shout brought Lilith on the runShe looked delightedly at the bull."Oh, no chance now of starving!"

"That's not all," he said. "I canbuild a Dide canoe in two days; abetter one than can be made fromthose small birches."

When, a day later, Mr, Ramill camelimping after Huxby to the smoke-marked camp, Lillth was still hangingmoose meat on alder poles over thesmudge-fire,

Huxby dropped his full-stuffedknapsack and wiped hls-^weaty fore-head with the back of his hand.

"Pah! To think I've lugged all thatold meat, and he's killed again. Whydidn't he come back and tell me?"

The girl gave him an odd glance."We've been too busy, old dear..Where's the blanket?"

"I couldn't pack everything. If I'dknown, I could have left this con-founded smoked moose and broughtthe blanket Instead." .

"Why not have left your load ofmetal! Didn't you consider that Dadand I will get far more than fifteenthousand dollars' worth of comfortout of that blanket?"

His lips tightened. "Sorry, darling.The thought of a common dirty blan-ket as against all the platinum—I didnot even think of i t Now of course Irealize. But it's too late."

"Yes," she agreed, "It's too late.Dad, you were a real sport not to waitfor Alan to come back and carry you."

The millionaire had slumped downto rub his swollen ankle. He lookedup at Huxby,. with a bantering smile.j'We couldn't permit our girl to elopewith a woods vagabond, could we,Vivian?"-. The engineer did not smile. Hisface went blank. "Where Is thatroughneck, Llllth?"

-"Down in-the willows, working hardfor us. Won't yon be glad when we'rerid of him!"

''Won't you?"-,^StsiL TnunoLeo sure as I was. Atpresent he Is far more agreeable com-pany than yon are." ,

Huxby stiffened and went off towardsthe willows without any reply. Mr.Ramill peered op shrewdly at hisdaughter.

"That was pretty hard even fromyon, Lillth. Try to keep In mindhow matters will stand as soon aswe get out of this damnable mess. Re-member that Vivian la my partner Inthe profits of all our Northwest Terri-tory deals. Garth is responsible forour being marooned In this woods hell.He set the plane adrift to go to smashover those falls."

For a" long moment Llllth Rnmillstood silent She looked down at hergrimy Uttered sports suit, at her

bloodsmeared bands and broken fingernails. The dimmed glitter of thediamond In her engagement ring failedto hold her gaze. It passed on downto her foxskln leggings and moosehidemoccasins.

"Squaw," she murmured. "Dirtysquaw! He certainly has put usthrough the mill. And more to"come!We're not yet out of the woods. Dad,do you still have Vivian's pistol?".

"Why, no.* He asked me for It thismorning. Said that the less weight tcarried, the better for me." ; .

She reached down a hand to helphim to his feet. .

"Listen, Dad. No matter how^ muchwe hate Alan Garth, we'll never getout of the muskegs without him.Haven't you noticed Vivian's eyes?You must ask him to give you backthe pistol." '

"But—it's his. And to rasp his self-esteem with such an intimation ofdistrust—"

"What's more Important—his feel-ings or.^Alan's guidance—if anythinghappens to"~Xlan— Make some ex-cuse." . • ' •• . .

Mr. Ramill got to his feet and limpedbeside her down to the stream bank.Huxby stood with his morose gazefixed upon Garth, who was tying wil-low ribs on the gunwale of hl« canoeframe with rawhide thongs.

The millionaire spoke in a casualtone: "How long will it take to puton the birch bark?"

"We'll use the moose hides, sir. Theyweigh more but will be much stronger.You might ask Huxby to chop downa birch and cut It into five-foot lengths.We'll have to |plit the wood to makepaddles."

"So?" Mr. Ramill turned to hisprospective son-in-law. "You may aswell return the.pistol to me, Vivian,

"Squaw," She Murmured. " D i r t ySquaw!"

It will hamper your chopping,-and aswe're now to be In a canoe, Its weightwill not bother.me.".

Huxby sat motionless, taken.aback.Before he could think of an excuse torefuse, tie met Garth's coolly Inquiringgnze. He turned away and drew thepistol from inside his tattered coat,with a show of careless Indifference.In the same offhand manner, he pickedup the belt-ax and went to hack at thebase of the nearest birch tree.

Another day saw the. canoe com-plete. The cow and bull hides, gummedand sewn together, formed the cover,hair side In. The result was a craftlarge enough for the party but shorterand broader than the average canoe. _

At Garth's suggestion, Lilith had be-gun tanning the calfskin. Mr. Ramilltended the smudge-fire. After cuttingthe birch billets, Hnxby had at firstsat around brooding. Then, suddenly,he went off up the brook. He did notcome back until after the canoe wasfinished. But he brought the aban-doned blanket :

Garth was-beginning to shape intopaddles the slabs of wood that he hadrived from the blreh billets. Heglanced from the blanket to the cloudsoverhead, and from them to Lllith'stattered skirt. .

"Not half bad, Huxby. That blanketwill soon be needed. Too splendid aSunrise this morning. We're in^tor astorm. Miss Ramill, that calfskin lacured enough for you to wear. Jiakea skirt of It." ;

"How about Vivlanji Bhoes?]! sheasked. "He's walking on his ujfoers."

"He's welcome to my old mojfcaslns.They may last out our porta

Though Huxbj's ears redMned, heaccepted the eastoff footgJf of theman from whom he had soflfht to bilka claim worth at least ajjcnllllon dol-lars. He could not refum His thickshoe soles bad scuffed JHrough on therocks that the pllanjPrawhide moc-casins passed over w M slight wear.

When Garth launcjH] the canoe, hefastened It to tbeMxnk with a lin..made from the trlJHIngs of the moosehides. For anch# he used the wolf-skin knapsacjU^jta weight of platlnum alley.

"May •• № jt useful," hemet Hilxby'j^^Hftrtoodj protest.

"You are to have the bow seat, andso can continue to guard my 60 percent, along with—"

A clap of thunder and the swish ofa wind gust through the birch topschecked Garth's banter. He spoke aquick order: "Leanto the blanket onthat knoll between the trees, front thisway."

A glance at the onrushlng blackclouds of the thunderstorm sent evenHuxby hurrying to help the others.While they tied the upper corners ofthe blanket with rawhide thongs andweighted the back edge with logs,Garth pulled the" canoe ashore andplaced It bottom up Over the smokeracks. . '

"When, three hours later, the crash-ing thunderstorm passed over and theheavy dowapour of rain ceased, all theparty were wet from the drip throughthe blanket. But the fire still smol-dered and the half-smoked meat wasdry under the canoe.

"Had you been used to canoeing,"Garth said, "we need not have lost allthis time. But you'll get enoughdrenchlngs later on. Wring out theblanket and fetch the meat."

He launched the canoe again, un-aided, and directed the others to theirplaces. All had to kneel, facing toenarrower prow of the double-stemmed,craft First came Huxby, with hiswolfskin treasure bag for knee-pad.Lilith knelt on the front part of thelengthwise folded blanket. Her fa-ther had the end of the blanket be-hind her. At the wobble of the un-steady craft, he squatted back on hisheels and clutched the gunwales.

The others held to willow brancheswhile Garth loaded In the meat be-hind his own place. He steppedaboard and began to paddle with asteady stroke that sent the canoe glid-ing out Into the swamp stream.

A "paddle lay "beside each of theothers. Llllth was first to dip hersoverside. At a murmured word fromher, Huxby followed suit.: Both ofthem had done a bit of amateur canoe-ing at the fashionable beaches. Theywere able to start In at once and help•a. little. Put two days passed beforeMr. RamlU gained enough balance andassurance to rise on his knees an'Jtry stroking his paddle. .

There are various theories concern-ing left-handedness, some believing It amatter of heredity, others claiming Itis due to instinct, or socially acquiredhabit. The percentage of left-handed-ness among normal individuals is esti-mated to run from 4 to 8 per cent,says.a writer In the Detroit News.Statistics published by the Journal ofHeredity have shown that In familieswith one or both parents left-handed,a much higher percentage of the chil-dren are left-handed, Authorities have

--told -child behavior experts^hat thenervous systems of left-handed per-sons are attuned to left-sided makeupin which the left eye dominates. Toattempt a distortion of this makeupby forcing the person into right-hand-ed action results In throwing the wholenervous system out of balance, andthe child may be made "Irritable,pugnacious, seclusive and tendingtoward theft, lying and tantrums." Onthe Other hand, If left to work outtheir own left-handed destinies, thesepersons are fully as bright as anyright-handed person. Another author-ity has shown that when the naturallypreferred left hand Is interfered with,as Is often done, the general domi-nance of that hand is not affected bythe cliange but may be strengthenedby this action. /

The method of review must be de-termined by the teacher. The grade

; of the class, the aptitude of the schol-{ ars, and the genius of the teacher arei features to be considered. For seniorj and adult classes, the following sug-gestions are made. . .

j I. Study the Lessons of the Quar-ter as Illustrating the Philosophy ofHistory in God's Dealings With His

! People in Their Captivity and Restora-tion.

Assignment of topics should be madeat least one week In advance. Onlyadult classes could be expected to use

I this method. The following subjects; might be assigned:| Why God permitted Israel to go Into! exile.] What cure the exile effected for Is-! rael.j' What changed views of life resulted'j'f-om the exile.j The bearing of the exile upon\ prophecy.

The relationship of divine chasten-ing to divine love..

II. Character Study.Assign the outstanding heroes of the

| quarter's lessons to members ot the: class to have them report. This as-i slgnmerit should be made at least onej week In advance. Some_of_the. out-| standing characters for consideration

are Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Daniel,Nehemiah, Ezra, Zerubbabel, andMalachl. •

III. Summary of Contents.This is a method readily usable at

' all times, and.it can be adapted tomost of the grades. The following sug-gestions are made for the carrying

] out of this method:j Lesson 1. The prophecy of Isaiah; is the grand center of the Old Testa-I ment It pictures the Servant of Je-hovah, with great wisdom, gloriouslyexecuting the divine purpose of re-demption, at the cost of great suffer-ing.

Lesson 2. Before he was born, Jere-miah was ordained by God as a proph-et to' the nations. He so really took

; to heart the doom which awaited hispeople that he wept sorely.

Lesson 3. Jeremiah stond In thegate of the temple In ord%r that themultitudes might hear him. He toldthe people that God required them toamend their ways, solemnly warningthem of Impending Judgments.

Lesson 4. While Belshazzar and hislords were engaged In drunken revel-ry, the mysterious hand recorded thedivine Judgment. There is a comingday of Judgment.

Lesson 5. Because of Judah's apos-tasy, God permitted the Babyloniansto destroy Jerusalem and take theJews into captivity.

Lesson 6. Ezekiel sets forth person-al responsibility. On his .part. It wasto hear God's word and to sound forththe warning. The people's responsi-bility was to hear and obey. ;

Lesson 7. Though Israel went Intocaptivity as a chastisement, In duetime the Lord restored them. In duetime-God will make good his covenantagreement with the Jews. v

Lesson 8. God used these prophetsto stir up the people to build God'shouse.

Lesson 9. Ezra was commissionedto lead the people to forsake their sinsand return to God.

Lesson 10. On' hearing of the dis-tress of his brethren In Jerusalem,Nehemiah took thematter to the Lordin prayer. The Lord gave him favorwith the king, permitting him to goback to build tne walls of Jerusalem,bearing credentials of authority fromthe king.

Lesson 11; The method nsed inbringing the people back to God was

'• the reading of the Word of God tothem. Because the Word was made

: plain to the people, they repented oftheir sins.

Lesson 12. Malachl, as an aid toNehemiah in effecting reforms, point-ed out the sins of the people,. Be setforth a day of Judgment when right-eous retribution would be meted outto the wicked, and rewards given tothe faithful.

We have now concluded our monthsor study in the Old Testament aha willwith the new year enter upon a studyof the Gospel of Luke. .

Lack Traffic DataFrom Rural Areas

Operation of the Secretary ofState's central violations file duringthe two weeks following its installa-tion, Nov. 22, has shown that

ti h f h l, , p

:ration thus far has come almost en-tirely from police, prosecutors andcourt officials in. the state's largestcities. Appreciation of the ultimatevalue of the fire is lacking in smallcenters and rural areas, a surveyshows.

The central violations file is one ^nwhich the complete driving historyof every motorist in the state whocomes afoul of traffic laws of anykind, is to be kept. The proper offi-cials throughout the state were fur-nished with blanks on which everyconviction of any kind pertaining totraffic law or ordinance violation isto be forwarded to the Secretary ofState. If courts or officers are notsupplied with forms, the Secretary ofState will forward a supply. Duringhe first two weeks operation of the

file, reports came' in at the rate of;bout 250 a week. Half of these werefrom Detroit; virtually the entire bal-ance was from the other large citiesof the state.

Long before the scope of the filewas expanded, thousands of accidentreports from the Michigan State Po-lice had already been filed againstthe records of drivers. Orville E. At-wood, Secretary of State, wants the'complete violation history of everymotorist so that judgment may be ex-ercised in passing on applications forrenewal of drivers' licenses.

Within a short time, all officials inMichigan from whom reports are lag-ging, will receive a letter from theDepartment of State in which somereason will be sought for the hick ofcooperation in the current long-rangemove to ultimately bar the "accidentbreeder" from the streets and high-ways of the state.
