“Love” was the subject of the Lesson Sermon in all churches of Christ Scientist on Sunday August 4. Among the citations which comprised the Lesson-Sermon was the following from the Bible: “Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they? Therefore take no thought saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness and all these things shall be added unto you” (Matt. 6:26, 31, 33. The Lesson-Sermon also included the t ollowing passages from the Christian Science textbook, “Science and Health with Key to the Scriptur by Mary Baker Eddy: ‘“Are we benr fited by praying? Yes, the desir¢ which goes forth hungering after righteousness is blessed of our Fathei and it does not return unto us void Prayer cannot change the Science of being, but it tends to bring us intc harmony with it” (p. 2). .

SULTAN OF SULU . NOW AIR MINDED

Potentate Has Plane Ride and Enjoys It.

~ Washington.—The sultan of Sulu, one of the few Filipino potentates still ruling under the protection of the United States, has become air minded. According to advices reaching the War department, the sultan was taken on his first airplane ride recently in an army machine and liked it. A fe% yvears ago tribesmen in the Philippines were overcome with fear when the ‘“‘ziant birds” of the army soared overhead. They could not understand the roaring machines driven by army airmen on cross-country flights across the island and often the planes spread fear and conéternation. Then the sultan of Sulu visited Manila. He was invited for a short flight. Capt. Donald Wilson piloted the sultan 5,000 feet ahove the city. - The potentate’s retinue waited with quaking hearts until the sultan landed safely and grinning over his novel experience. In short excited sentences he explained the sensations of flying to his aides. They Immediately besieged the army flyers to be taken up. The pilots obligingly consented and others in the sultan’s staff learned of the joys of soaring through boundless spaces far above the earth. News of their flights spread and the presidente of Bontoc expressed the desire for a short hop. Other members of the non-Christian tribes of the Philippine archipeiago were flown and the news spread still further until the army air corps station in the islands was flooded with requests for flights in the “giant birds.”

Teacher Urges “50-50 ~ Dates” for Young Folks * Columbia, Mo.—Fifty-fifty dates for young men and women in college are advocated by Miss Nellie Lee Holt, instruector in religious education at Stephens college here. : Such dates are not only an economic necessity of the younger generatlon, Miss Holt believes, but are in keeping with the gpirit of modern times.. . Romantic Victorian love is dead, she points out, and in its place has grown a love based on “friendship, understanding and willingness on the part of the girl and boy to share responsibilities. “Boys and glrls should learn to share,” said Miss Ilolt. “That is the reason I have become such a strong exponent of the ‘Dutch’ date. Generally speaking, girls receive as much allowance as boys. Then why shouldn't they pay for what they eat, for the show they attend and for the costly entertainment they enjoy?’ Girls of today, Miss Holt characterizes as ‘“sound thinkers who do things in a wholesome and understanding way.”

“Guardian Angel” Aids Travelers to Safety Pilgrim Springs, Alaska. — One northwest Alaska trall has a sfrange guardian angel, according to a weird tale by travelers returning from a region over the Sawtooth mountains. In a valley across the range, they say, storms occur every day. The best dog teams are often bewildered. But when the visibility 18 exceptionally bad, so goes the story, drivers amd their passengers are guided safely along the way by some well-outlined form, resembling a hooded monk, who is always accompanied by a huge dog. Old-timers claim the monk is an apparition or mirage encountered as the temperatures in various altitudes change, but it is dificult to convince those who have encountered the mystie trail blazer. .

Many Important Crops Ruined by Insect Pest Washington.—Man’s battle to master insect pests that annually destroy one-tenth of the crops in the United States is an uphill struggle which may never bhe wholly won, Dr. A. L. Quaintance sald. Damage will be much heavier this year unless the Mediterranean fly which has just appeared in Florida is checked. Telling of the effécts of science to reduce the damage by the insect scourge, Doctor Quaintance said many important crops could not be grown without the entomologlsts. , Without the checks now provided by science, insects would multiply so rapidly the world would soon be completely overrun, he sald. Insects have several million descendants in the course of a year.

Health Chief Urges Planes for Funerals San Francisco.—Airplane funerals were advocated here recently by Dr. Willlam C. Hassler, city health officer, as a means of solving the avowed problemof shrinking space for burial grounds. He said San Francisco's available acreage will be exhausted in another 25 years and predicted that the last resort is the Slerra ranges or the ocean, Either can be reached readily by airplane, he sald, in a few hours from any part of California. :

SNAKE BITE FATAL TO REPTILE EXPERT

Serum Injections Fail to Halt Deadly Poison.

New York.—For more than 30 years Charles E. Snyder, former head keeper of mammals and reptiles at the New York zoological garden in Bronx park, befriended snakes. He fed them, made pets of some, and pointed to their comparative harmlessness and utility in public leetures. ; ‘ " His interest in reptiles led the veteran keeper on periodic trips 'to capture more of them. One morning, in the Ramapo mountaing, one of them struck for the liberty of its mate, which was almost in Snyder’s grasp. The former keeper died, a victim of rattlesnake poison which anti-venom serum failed to halt. Serum Rushed to Hospital. Dr. Raymond L. Ditmars, curator of mammals and reptiles at the Bronx 700, had rushed serum to him at the Good Samaritan hospital in Suffern, N. Y ' : ] Snyder, who was fifty-seven, died about 24 hours after the two poison fangs had sunk into the back of his left hand. It took him five hours to reach the hospital, a delay which was held responsible for bhis death, although even after such a lapse of time the failure of the serum to counteract the poison was considered unusual. There was no trepidation in Snyder’s mind as he struck into the Ramapo woods, accompanied by Paul Snyder, a friend and snake enthusiast. _ ' They were on Little Tor mountain,’ pursuing separate trails 100 yards apart, when Snyder saw a rattler between four and five feet long gliding over a rock ledge near his feet. As the snake squirmed into a crevasse Snyder ducked to catch its tail so that he might swing it out with a quick jerk Into the open and pin it with a forked stick he was carrying. Sinks Fangs in Hand. As he stooped, another snake, apparently the mate of the first reptile, lunged from a hiding place in the grass, It sank its fangs into the hand.. Snyder shrank back calling to his friend, and the reptiles took to eover. _ With his companion at his side, Snyder sucked the two wounds, sought to. squeeze out the poison and used a handkerchief as a tourniquet about his arm to shut off the circulation. Hospital and serum treatment followed, but to no avail. > Fish Worm Ranching Is New Western Industry Los Angeles, Calif.—The Flapper Fish Worm ranch is located in the small town.of Bishop at the eastern base of the Sierra Nevadas in southern California, the proprietor of which, says John L. Von Blon, writing in “Field and Stream,” is a sunnyhaired high school student of seventeen. Working on the sagacious principle as stated by herself—“any poor fish from the common- human sucker to the golden aristocrats of the trout family will fall for a flapper”—she has developed an industry which turned out 20,000 worms for the open-ing-day sales. o “Ten acres is the whole extent of the ranch. Through it all the earthwormsg may burrow but the plot actually devoted to them comprises but 2,000 square feet. It is a patch of straw, hay, corn fodder and other decomposed -materials about a foot in depth, with a pit four feet square in the center, where is sunk a bottomless box in which the breeding proeesses are carried on, As a protection against poultry, shrews, moles and other creatures of which the worms are natural prey and food, there Is a screen, cover, - . “This nest is kept damp. Sour milk, cheese and bread erumbs, cornmeal, eggs and all sorts of table scraps are thrown. into the Box. The continuous propagating resulis are astonishing, : “Tiny worms emerge by millions from the cocoouns in which the eggs have been lald. Soon they begin te ‘make their blind ways to the outer edges—blind, because they have mno eyes, but are guided by primitive, light-detecting organs. In due course they are dug up from the mulch and placed where they can be packed for market on short notice.”

Reform School Lads ~ Needn’t Learn to Sew Sacramento, Calif.—Sewing was ordered removed from the list of subjects taught incorrigible youths at the Preston reform school at lone by E. E. Jensen, state director of institutions. All the sewing equipment is to -be transferred from the reformatory to the woman’s ward at San Quentin prison, where, Jensen believes, it will be put to better use. : “The boys never did take to sewing,” remarked the director, ‘“they don't see any future in it for them.” .

Strange Case ol Ik X

This is a story told by a physician Hving in a large western city of a problem that suddenly confronted him —and of how he interpreted the ethics of his profession and acted on it. : : o

“T was roused one night,” he said, “by a telephone call.” An unfamiliar voice asked me'if I could attend a man who had been injured. I answered that I could if the case was urgent, but before I could ask who was calling, the speaker answered: ‘All right, doctor, T'll call at your house I ten minutes with a carrlage.’ - = ‘“Almost before I had time to dress, the doorbell rang. I unlocked the door, and a man, wearing a long ulster, a dark hat and a pair of colored glasses, entered. - ““'Doctor,” he said, ‘before we start I want to make a request. This case; as I told you, is urgent. But before we start, I must have your assurance that you will treat this visit as a confidential mission. 1 can't say any more, except to add that you're running no risk of any kind in helping me. And you canp name your own fee. ‘ ;

“There was nothing about the man'’s appearance that appeared suspicious: He was quiet and self-possessed—-there wasn't a trace of mnervousness about him, and he was well dressed. The request was somewhat unusual, but, after all, nearly everything that we learn professionally is held in the strictest confidence without any definite understandings to that effect, so v?hought there was no reason for refusing to make the agreement.

“I took my hat and we started, The carriage, I noticed, was a closed one. We got in, the man turned on a small electric light and then drew the blinds over the windows. . “‘Doctor,’ he said, ‘l'm going to ask you to take this trip without knowing where you're going. I'll assure you it's all right. I want you to blindfold yourself before we leave the carriage, until we get inside the house.’ “Well, I didn’t like the looks of this, but I was in and I didn’t like to back ‘out. Of course I wasn’t at all afraid for my own safety. By the time the carriage stopped 1 didn't have the least idea what part of town we were in—‘we had made so many turns. I put on the blindfold, as my visitor requested, and we went up some steps and into' a house.. :

. “Upstairs, I found my patient. He had been shot twice, Revolver bullets, they were. The wounds weren’t dangerous, but they were painful because ‘they had not been treated earlier. “I dressed ;them, told the woman who was there what sort of care the 'patient ought to have, and then told ‘them that I'd have to see the man at :least two or three times more before I oould answer for his safe recovery. . “The man with the dark glasges quietly assented.to this, but insisted that he should bring me at night, as he had that time. . I agreed. ‘The next morning the papers told of a robbery, in which a householder ‘had been wounded, after shooting one of the burglars, who succeeded in es‘caping. All the facts indicated that ,my patient of the night before was the burglar who had been shot. I felt Bure I could locate the house. The ‘householder recovered quickly. : ° “The question stared at me: Did the ~ethics of the medical profession allow ,me to go to the police and tell them ‘what I knew, or did my promise bind 'me to secrecy? I thought it over all day and finally decided that I had no ‘right to say anything about the mat;ter. I made three more trips in the (same manner and finally decided that .the man would get along without any 'more calls. All this time I watched ‘the papers, but no trace was found of ‘the burglars. When I made my last visit I told the man who had first called on me that my fee would be :425. He took from a large roll two $lOO bills and handed them to me ‘without a word. He drove me home ;and that was the last I ever saw of .either of them. : .. “That was a good many years ago, ‘but I've often wondered whether I did' right in not violating that man’s confidence.” : ‘ “I don’t think you did,” gaid a mem‘ber of the group. “The medical pro‘fession has no right to shield a criminal. - Women and childien should be given the greatest protection we can glve them—the same as on a vessel at sea—but no word given-a criminal 1s binding.” - - “But suppose it had turned out that 'the man was not the burglar in question. I believe he was, but it might have been otherwise—?” - “That’s true,” said a third. “It was all right to keep your promise so long ‘aB you had no actual knowledge that ‘the man was a criminal. Where you ‘made your mistake was - in making such a ridiculous agreement in the ‘first place.” / | : “And let a man, dangerously inJured, suffer?”’ asked the first speaker. “Remember, when 1 first agreed to secrecy the case had no particularly suspicious appearance. I could cite 8 dozen different circumstances under which a serious accident might happen and which the persons connected with would, with a perfect right, go to great lengths to keep secret. So could either of you.” » ; - Which of the three was right?

W. Boote, Josephine had been haled to court by her mother for running away to a relative’s home because she would not live up to the parent’s rules of pever associating with boys, handing over all her weekly wages, never staying out later thar 10 p. m. and never visiting girls at night.. ’ The girl’s lips quivered and she told the stern court: “I had to run away, your honor. Listen to those rules.” : : So the judge listened and then- he pondered. It may be that he thought of the time when he used to have an occasional date with a pretty brunette like Josephine, - ; “l will lay down some new rules,” he declared. ' i “You may remain out lgfer than 10 o’clock.

Locate Iron Messenger of Space in Africa Bloemfontein, South Africa.—Again chance has led to the discovery of one of those mysterious messengers that bear evidence that space is not empty. This time the news comes from the far northeastern corner of southwest Africa. v o In the Grootfontein district a meteor lies in a tomb of limestone, a great, massive block of iron. There is nothing dramatic in its appearance —a lone hlock of metal in the veldt, but if one tries to visualize its arrival one finds a spectacle surpassed by few. : . A black mass of firon, cruising through space, invisible to all. Suddenly, as it enters the earth's atmosphere, its great speed and the excessive friction set a blaze in a fraction of a sécond. An enormous fireball, white hot, it approaches the ground with an angry hiss. A terrific roar as it crashes through layers of limestone, a shower of sparks, sand, rocks and metals, a cloud of dust—and all 18 quiet. . _ o A deep pit was excavated all around it, to show the full extent of its huge mass. The whole appearance is remarkable—an almost flat, level upper surface 9 by 10 feet In size, with almost vertical sides about four to five feet deep. It is estimated that it weighs not less than 50 tons. One specimen shown to the writer ‘was a piece that had needed but the sawing through of a surface of two square Inches, and that had required fully two hours of hard work.
