Today those great industrial research laboratories have another job. They're working now to protect our freedom aud the comfortable way of life that they helped to create. For our armed forces they leave already developed airplanes. tanks aud guns that are superior in many ways to foreign makes. And they are constantly Improving on lhemselve*. constantly making weapons that are better than anything they've made to date. They're busy, too, devising ways by which they can make our peacetime goods last longer, now that well have to do without many new products until the war Is over.

Lenten Meditations (Rev. Kenneth Timmons. First Christian Church) THE WOl NDS DE A FAITHLESS FRIEND "What are y* willing to give me. and I will deliver Him unto you.'' Matt 26:16. Our Bible lesson for today reveals nnto ns one of the world's greaiest tragedies. The world's deepeat wounds are those Inflicted by faithless friends. It Is that treachery In the live* of those that we trust that bring life's grea'est sorrows In that respect onr and Master faced one ot life's greatest experiences. F-»r three years Jesus and Hl* disciples have been clo*e companions. They shared life’s ■ ommon sorrows and joys They shared the soul problems of one another. In the hour that one of the men needed the companionship of the entire group, one of the number will always be remembered as a faithless friend. Why men sometimes fall in those supreme moment* Is one of the world's tragic stories. Tragic as the experience I*. It was no surprise to our la>rd amt Christ. Jesus frankly expresst-rl the truth that It was itatan who entered Into Judas and caused him to be a faithless friend Judas wa* a convenient tool for the enemies of our U»rd He was willing to use his Intimate knowledge of Jean* for unworthy end*. He used his friendship to aid the evil Forces of the world Love, the greatest hle*slng that is known to men. I’ used for selfish gain Honor, which most people t'-spect as one of life's greatest treasure*, was s<dd for mere motley. God save us in this hour from being a faithless friend. - —— , , —, , , 1..,.

It is not whst you would call a snap, to always be at hand, and other* looking out There are overhead espeii»lve» *l*o. in thia work just like any other bu»lne»«. Barber buslnee* ha* chang*d a lot like every thing elae ba*. I I observed In barber shop* less than ISO years ago. There were shaving mug* for each customer. Those mug* were often timely gifts from the fair se* and bore mottos ot no mean sentiment. "For-get me not." and lest you [ forget, which reminder referred io i romance, not the bristle*, but If I you were truly smart you had your picture and n*me boldly prinlcd on your shaving cup. and In those day* you would see pink papered police Gnsett* papers, etc. lying on the waiting table*. I looked them over when I wa* a boy and I felt afraid or neared. I felt like a real man when I got shaved for the Arst time In that barber shop where they would scent the sideburns and long mustache* with Florida water. 1 happened not to have a mustache. The Infamous mustache cup also wa* at the height ot Its popularity. All mustached men of refinement had one to drink coffee or tea. At the present time we see these butterfly mustache* going around. Now they look pr-tiy I think. You could aee in that fancy shop, at a convenient "shooting" distance, large cuspidors, which were the tobacco chewers delight. In those days women were called ladies and never looked thru the barber shop windows lest their aenses might be outraged and the moat delicate walked on the other side of the street. In fact now. an old timer would hardly know the kind of barber shop* of today. Today men and women discourse on the event* of the day, read the movie inagazine* while they wait their respective turn* for a trim. Today we have laws and regulation*. established price*, and set hour* for opening and closing. 1 will not try to say any more about the pleasant and unpleasant thing* about our profmsion*. In olden time* a barber* life wa* short. C. E. Bohner, Monroe, Ind. I*. H. It would be fun if some more of our old time barbers would give their experience*.
