RECORDS IN BIBLE STUDY: — There is a little girl down at Decatur who no doubt can put to shame many teachers even of Sunday School classes in her knowledge of the Bible. Miss Lucile Engle, a junior in the Decatur high school, recently made 100 per cent in tests in the New Testament and 99 per cent in the Old Testament. Miss Engle's splendid grades serve to call attention to the need of a deeper interest in the Bible and a more general study of it. Competent teachers of the Bible are difficult to find and is one of the big problems with which every superintendent of a Sunday School is confronted. It is astounding the number of teachers, of Sunday School classes who no more knowledge of the Bible than many of the pupils they are trying to teach. No doubt they are well meaning, but that does not help the situation. Suppose a pupil were to ask his teacher who was Dodai? or what and where was Dor? And suppose the teacher couldn't answer. Naturally, that pupil loses his respect for the teacher and faith in whatever she may tell him. Os course, no teacher perhaps would be able to tell of-

Some think that faeial clays are new. Not so. Beauties of all ages have employed them. Most of the famous belles of history owed their beauty to complexion clays. But. until late years, few women fostered and preserved their beauty. Now millions do, and clay is a prime essential. What 1 owe to clay About 1900, French beauty experts taught me the use of clay. Now, at a grandmother's age. I look like a girl of 19. After 32 years as a stage star, 1 still play young girl's parts. And millions marvel at my youthful beauty.

I have supplied my methods to scores of friends. They enhanced their beauty by them, and they kept their youth. So I am convinced that most girls and women can do likewise if they will. Ami I am going to help them. A perfected clay The clay 1 use is not the crude and muddy clay so many use today. That is out of date. Able scientists in France have been studying clays for 20 years and over. And they have perfected clay. They have found those rare clays, mineral-laden, which bring maximum results. They have learned how to refine them—to remove the useless mud. The clay I use is white and clean and dainty. They have found added factors which bring manifold results, so my White Youth Clay will be a r.telation to a user of other clayt. Clay is essential No girl or woman can look her best without the use of clay. Nor can a

I hand who every character In the Bible was or the location of every town mentioned. But she should be able to tell if they are Included in the lesson for that day. For instance, . recently the International teachers ' who believe that John the Baptist , and the Apostle John were one and the same person. In the lesson we are told that John the Baptist came ’ Into all the country about Jordan. ) And there are Sunday School teachJ era who are unable to tell whether > by Jordan is meant a river by that * name or an automobile. There is a I real need of teachers of the Bible. who thoroughly understand the Bible and are able to present it in a clean, convincing, entertaining, and capable manner. —Fort Wayne News-Sentinel Decatur people shonld feel proud of publicity such as this. The facts, however as stated are not really correct for Miss Engle's grades as returned by the state examiners are 100% on both Old and New Testament. Prior to this for several years Miss Dorothy Walters also, of this city, held the record with the grade of 100% on New Testament and 99% on the Old Testament. Much credit is due the students of the Summer Bible Schools and their instructors. ■■ The new street lights on the three blocks from Jackson to Jefferson on Second, will be turned on Saturday evening, we are informed. That they will add to the attraetvieness of the business section there is no doubt and it will be fine when we have them all over the city. They cost but little as compared to the improvement they make and property owners should gladly pay the first cost for in that way we-can have them sooner than if we must wait and put in a street a year. Look them over Saturday evening and then start a petition on your street. A well lighted city is always a good one. There is so much publicity being given the “good times’’ just now that it makes a fellow wonder if it’s on the square and whether or not it will last. It won’t unless the farmer

woman keep her youthful bloom and contour, as I have. Users of clay stand out in any crowd. Clay purges the skin of all that clogs it —the causes of sallowness, blackheads and blemishes. It draws the blood to the skin to nourish and renew it. The result is a rosy afterglow, then a lasting new complexion. It firms the skin, combats the cause of wrinkles, takes out lines, reduces enlarged pores. Thus it gives and maintains a smooth, soft, baby-like complexion. The results are amazing—almost unbelievable at first .Many women in 30 minutes seem to drop ten years. And my girlish face, at my grand old age. shows what constant use can do. You cannot afford to miss these benefits. They mean too much to you. But use a modern scientific clay. My White Youth Clay, they tell me, is the last word in facial clays.

Edna Wallace Hopper's White Youth Clay is now supplied by all druggists and toilet goods dealers. Price, 50c and $1 per tube. Also my Youth Craem. based on lemon and strawberry. This should follow the clay. Also my Facial Youth —my Youth, which brought my luxuriant famous liquid cleanser. Also my Hair hair. M&. Beauty Book comes with each. In fairness to yourself, see what Youth Clay does. You will ever thank me for it. If the first tube tails to delight you, your dealer will re- | turn its price.

Is taken care ot (hit; harvest time. If be must sell at a loss the times wHI be worse instead ot better for he is the producer. From Übor centers eotntj reports that the labor situation is easing up and that plenty of help can now be secured as low as thirty cents an hour. There is still considerable adjustment to be made and a lot ot shouting about times won't change it one bit. While we were complaining about the hot weather last week the corn in this section was taking advantage of it in fine style. Mr. Breiner kept exact data on one stock and is willing to make oath that it grew thirteen inches in one week. The present rains and a little more sunshine and the crops are made. Then all the farmer needs is to sell his crop at a profit and there will be really good times.

The Human Element in Industry IN BUSINESS there is no such thing as independence. Business is part of the social fabnc where every individual is directly or indirectly, dependent upon every other individual. The stockholder is dependent upon the employe, and the employe on the stockholder, while both are dependent upon the public who buy and consume the products they manufacture. Stockholders and employes also are consumers. In the case of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) more than eight thousand of the employes are part owners in the business. With a keen realization of this interdependence, the company, the management and the employes practice that sound Yankee fairness in dealing with one another, which makes for better understanding and industrial harmony. The individual employe is a citizen just as the individual stockholder is a citizen. Whether or not he is a good citizen often depends upon whether he is busy, happy and successful in the business which engages his attention. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is proud of its employes; they are good citizens, law-respecting, thrifty, industrious and happy in their industry. Experience has E roved that this type of citizen makes the est employe. The employe who is zealous in the performance of his duty, who strives to give the public as well as the Company good service, is a citizen worthy of the name. It is a policy of this Company to pay its workmen a gcod wage. Also it is the policy of this Company to promote and encourage “personal contact” between the employes and the management. This open-dcor policy of fair dealing has resulted in uniform enthusiasm and loyalty on the part of the employes, and because of it the Company is better able to fulfill, in a satisfactory manner, its obligations to the people of the Middle West.
