The most practical thing any business concern can do is to advertise truthfully ami consistently. The county, township or state official who doesn't get his salary whacked by the special session will be lucky. They have bills of about every kind and description for that I urpose and no one knows what will result after the shakeup is complete. If you have a load to carry, do the best you can and remenTber the other fellow has about all he can tote and that its unfair to make his going any more impossible than it is now. It every one does his part, it will be easier for him and his neighbor. Don't pass the buck. Wouldn't it be funny it California again became the pivotal state to decide who will be president? Remember it was in 1916 and this year there are again strange rumblings from the laud of the "setting sun." McAdoo is a candidate for senator. Senator Johnson doesn't coincide with Hoover policies and says so and there are other signs indicating it will be a battle ground. President Hoover quickly vetoed the Wagner-Garner unemployment measure and sent it back to congress unsigned and with a few views that it was unsound. Ot course any bill that was tended to help the people in a simple and direct m inner would be called unsound by tile administration crowd, but the fact remains that unless something is done towards their aid by some means or another, we will continue in the dumps.

the average American wouldn't get any "kick" out of paying a doctor when he was well and every op.) about the house was up and at 'em. Crimes in Chicago are about 75 per cent less than a year ago and that la being offered now to refute the long established and oft quoted idea that idleness begets crime. On July Ist of last year the average per day was sixty crimes while now It is but twenty-two. Ot course much of the decrease might be credited to the efforts ot Mayor | Cerntak and Ills vigilante committee but any way its something that it is being wiped out so rapidly and so completely. King Gillette, inventor of the safety razor which has put a million barber shops out of business is dead at the age ot 87. He was marly fifty years old when be got the idea of the patent which I rought him millions. He was a salesman and was trying to shave himself on a swaying train, got mad, swore a little and kept thinking about it until he determined to bring out a razor that would be safe to use, even on a rocky railway and he did it quite successfully. His idea was followed but he managed to keep well out in front of the parade by producing new instruments and blades. A survey which was made in Chicago a few years ago demonstrate < d the following reasons for the failure of voters to appear at the polls: Physical disability at election time, 25 per cent; legal or admin iltrative obstacles, 13 per cent; disbelief in voting, 18 per cent; inertia. 44 per cent. It is apparent that nearly one half of the voters who stay away from the polls are too lazy to cast their ballots. They set no value on the right and privilege of suffrage and are unappreciative of the efforts which liberty-laving men and women of other generations exerted to give the people a voice in their government. With less than 60 per cent of the qualified electorate participating in the election, and 66 per cent of that number too inert, indifferent and indolent to vote, leaders in the movement to get out a heavy vote in the November election must adapt their campaign to arouse a sense of civic responsibility in the minds of this portion of the population. Unless the apathy of this group can be vitalized into a recognition of the duty of American citizens to vote, little progress can be made in increasing the number of voters; granted, of course, that an increase in the quantity of voters is desirable. — Richmond Paladium. o ♦ ♦ REUNION CALENDAR I * .— « Sunday, July 31 Pleasant Mills lAlumni picnic, Sun Set Park, east of Dei atur.

The Church - The Balance Wheel By Rev. DeLoss Marken, Pastor College Avenue Church of Christ, Des Moines, lowa.

As a minister of the gospel of: Christ, to me. the church is a di- 1 vine institution. Christ loved the i church and gave his life's blood i for it. He did not give himself up for clubs or political parties, but, he did give himself up for the! Church of Gpd. Christ said, "Great-; er love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friend." The great principles of our national institutions and herit-, ages are here as a result of human; blood sacrifices upon the altar of service to God and country. Why are we the greatest nation on the face of the earth? It is not because of our army, navy, territorial possessions, or institutions of learning. We are so powerful because everything in it is made to minister to and serve the purpose ct the individual citizen. Our government and the church are fitted, framed and organized to minister to the people in the highest degree. I realize that the church is a place for worship but the sanctity of the church is being violated today by professional pacifists and communists. America was founded upon God and the home. Communism strikes at both and has made great inroads into our life. When some churches permit communistic propaganda it is time for the churches which do not to allow patriotic counter propaganda. Reso, Jutions have actually been passed by youth conventions and other church agencies to educate young people to believe it is not their duty to defend their country in case of insurrection or invasion. A movement is on at the present time advocating "A Free Pulpit," presumably meaning free use of the house of God for secular propaganda. If we permit such pernicious and destructive doctrine in our churches, schools and colleges, the govern-

; ment will soon be overthrow n and our churches an* homes along with Jit. Here in America, religious freedom is granted to every man to . worship God in accordance with! I his own conscience. This right is Jone of the greatest, if not the great- i Jest privilege of our country. fJen-, ; era! MacArthur well says, "Relig'.ious freedom, however, exists only: •'so long as government survives. [To render our country helpless, would invite destruction not only to our political and economic free-1 . dom, but also of our religion.’’ Religion and patriotism have al-i ways gone hand in hand, while, ■ atheism has invariably been accompanied by communism, radicalism. ; i and other enemies of free govern-' i ment. I am utterly opposed to aggress-1 . ive warfare. Christianity tqachesl ilove, forgiveness, peace on earth laud good will toward men. Yet,, I until the love of God is manifested . 1 in the hearts of men and nations, our government must continue to j protect the lives of its citizens and hour God-given institutions. Christ ■ never preached putting away the sword of authority in tlie presence i. of injustice and evil. "Peace-at- . any-price" demands. compromise with any possible evil, the surrend- ' er of justice and the abandonment ' of morality as well as voluntary • relinquishing of all the fruits of our I civilization. Christ urged obedience to the : si. te. He said. "Render therefore unto Caesar the tilings that are Caesar's, and unto God the things ■ that are God’s.’’ The church cannot tolerate these -{atheistic communists, with all ■ltheir greed, disregard for propertyhand massacred lives,"and if permit- ■' ted to continue, they will take . | your food, your churches, your -' homes, your government and your

God. What a day for the preacher of the gospel of peace on earth, good will among men! What an opportunity to show that the only way to pluck the world out of the abyss is to put God on the throne!

SYNOPSIS tola Carewe. ‘The Night Chib Lady”, is mysteriously murdered in her penthouse apartment at three o’clock New Year’s morning. An hour later, the body of Lola's guest, I Christine Quires, is found in Lolas room. Christine had been killed first ,1 and her body hidden. Dr. Hugh Bald- ■ * win attributes both deaths due to heart failure. Guy Everett, Christine’s New Year’s Eve escort, claims J hebrought herhomeat 12:15and then 1 went riding.alone.on the Motor I’ark- ' way. Mrs. Carewe, Lola’s mother, denies seeing Christine return. < Police Commissioner Thatcher Colt discounts District Attorney Dough- I erty’s theory that Lola was killed by I a jewel thief ring she headed and i that Christine met the same fate for knowing too much. Y incent Row-|i land. Lola’s lawyer, discloses that i Everett loved Lola and was jealous of Dr. Baldwin. The police are on the trail of Christine's brother, Edgar, who left his Rochester home for New York after receiving a telegram New Year’s Eve. Christine was to have inherited wealth shortly. Dr. Multooler. the medical examiner, contradicts Dr. Baldwin's I statement that heart failure caused, the deaths. A strap picked up in Lola’s room presents mute evidence of having caused the bruise on Christine's neck —after death. Ever- ■ ett confesses he lied about riding on the Motor Parkway. He states Christine told him she had discovered a plot to murder Lola and feared for her own life because of' her knowledge, adding that Dr. Baldwin was involved. The picture of the young man found in Lola's room is identified by the Paris Prefect of Police as that of Basil Boucher, a young bank clerk, who met a dancer named Lola in Paris, robbed a bank to buy her a ruby, and then disappeared Basil's parents sold medical laboratory specimens. The scientist employed by Colt to analyze the dust garnered from Lola’s room telephones that he knows what killed Lola and Christine. CHAPTER TWENTY-EIGHT THE laboratory of Professor Luckner, as I recalled while Neil McMahon was driving us uptown toward Morningside Heights, was a plain room in the rear of a private apartment. Some years before, the old scientist had retired, but at Colt’s persuasion had equipped himself with a private workshop which he devoted solely to research work requested by the police department. On many occasions he had been of substantial assistance to Thatcher Colt. At the door of the apartment we were met by the professor, a mild little man with a red beard turning gray, reminding one of Bernard Shaw. This morning the scientist’s eyes were twinkling behind double-lensed nose spectacles and his wild, scraggy gray hair was waving excitedly on the top of his long, thin head. “Come right in,” the savant invited, shaking hands effusively and laughing nervously. “Once more you skeptics shall see what poor humble science can do!” He led us to a plain room. In the center was a kitchen table, over which had been laid a covering of glistening white cardboard. Here the dust and fragments from the bags of the vacuum cleaners had been emptied. The debris had been spread on the cardboard and the whole dumped mass leveled to a fine thin layer, spread like varnish Ttamed on this exhibit was a beam of light from a portable nickelplated amp-like the “baby spot” I of the theaters—with the additionall feature of a belt of concern j rated around the light. Under this ! light. Professor Luckner had been examining the mess for hours’ peering at it through an ultramicroscope. ,

The ../book, which will include technical as well as historical data, will be n! called "Fifty Years of Furniture" ,y The author is 75 years old.

“Please show us what you have found, professor,” pleaded Colt, in his tone a rising note of eagerness. Without replying. Professor Luckner picked up a pair of dainty tweezers. Reaching into a wooden box, which he produced from the pocket of his white linen robe, he nipped something between the steel fingers of his gleaming little instrument. With the air of a conjurer performing a trick he held up the tweezers exposing his treasure. "I found this in the dust,” he proI claimed with an air of pride. We drew nearer and peered at the two fuzzy, microscopic pieces -held in the nippers. What could 'they be? Professor Luckner deposited his precious findings on a i clear piece of the cardboard, and , placed over it a magnifying glass. “See for yourself!” he invited. Quickly the Commissioner bent | over, turned the screw of the glass, and squinted. With intense interest he studied the almost invisible treasure which the scientist bad I rescued from a sea of dusty sweep- [ ings. ' “They look like the thin attenuated bristles of some insect!” declared Thatcher Colt finally. | The professor gave a mighty i sigh. I “Exactly, Herr Commissioner!” he boomed. “Y'ou should have been la scientist yourself!” “But bristles of what insect?” I urged Colt. Again without replying, Professor Luckner opened a drawer in the II kitchen table upon which he had performed his mysterious labors. 1< From the drawer, he drew out a long tube which physicians call a , specimen jar. It is the kind of glass i house in which an appendix often ~ finds a permanent home. This jar . [was nearly filled with yellow alco- ■ |hol. It was labeled, and as Colt 11 received the bottle from the pro- | fessor’s long, pale hand, he pronounced the legend of the label as if it were an incantation: “Cebtrurus Exilicanda?” M ith a startled air, Colt glanced from the embalmed thing in the • specimen jar to the flushed and 1 face of Profcss or Luckner. • What is this?” asked the Com- , missioned “A scorpion!” , "A scorpion!” repeated Colt in : astonishment. “A scorpion, did you . say T i “The most deadly known to : man' i ouir«‘^!7 We and Christine I Quires died from the bites of a > scorpion?” ‘There is no doubt of it! I have ; already talked on the telephone 1 with your Doctor Multooler.” P ■ ishnwnt ar V ere ringir i 8 with astonishment. How could such a thing have been done?
