Var.derbilt, who drove, was proud. An Englishman recently drove his automobile at the rate of 2>-> miles on hour, and Hying machines have gone above 300 miles an hour. All that is amazing. But think of M«ui4 Wilson astronomers, •timing" stars that go 1,650,000 miles in a minute, Start distant from us 120,000,000 light years, which means the distance' that light could travel in 120,000,000 years, going 186,000 miles a second. . Those swiftly moving stars anc nebulae are far bigger than our sun, which'is a million times bigger than our earth. Whoever believes that a universe <>f that size and speed has been managed by chance, with ut direction, for thousands of million years, could believe anything. John D. Roc.eft- Jr.. is building in the heart of Manhattan blind, which is the heart of Greatei New York, a group of. magnificent buildinU t<> house a great radio theater, “broladcasting stat-ipn, offices, shops, ' perhaps a Metropolitan Grand Opera house. Mr Rochefel’.er’s agents have jus: ordered $10,000,000 worth of steel sot his [buildings. 125,000 tons of it. "BR Steel" will supply it. The Rochefeiler enterprise, to l< finished in three years, will employ 8,000 to 10,000 men at. good wages. Ira a good thing to have many doj Jani, evert a billion or more, assembled in one collection. That makes -bi, things possible, just as a collection o. maity. drops of water at . Niagara ■■ creates power. Miss Christabel Par.’-h :-:. daugh ter! of courageous British suffragetie; Enimeline Pankhurst, says, she wii liv* to see the secmd * coming of Christ. It will net mean the world’end, but tjiere will be no.doubt abou ■ weakness and humility, but in all hit ■ majesty, with demonstrations of di vine power more miraculous than any of the miracles of modern science.” First, it occurs to y bu that any thins imjire miraculous than modern science w old l>e.. very miraculous. Second, you feel quite sure that il Christ came to earth now, preaching as he preached >,900 years ago, immi. gration authorities of the Umte< States would keep him out and ad vise him to go to Rt;>s:a. He told tin ■ rich :nan to divide his wealth among i those that had nothing. There is too much crime in this na tidn. Consider the case <>f NowY«»r> .city, for instance. In 1930, het records show 498 murders, including 37 killed by police discharging theii duty. Sixteen husbands killed their wives . 6 'Wives killed their* husbands grew self-control comparatively on the parof wives Os th -e killed. 316 wen ■>.h<.t, 78 were stabbed, 58 were black picked •■: - ..■■hisrwiW -hammered’ U death. 1“ strangled, burned to death ■ 3 thrown from w indows, 13 killed by J. gas,. 2 drowned, 1 killed by acic throwing, 16 cases of infanticide., “I f sticism is easy, '.ho art is m-ffi cult,” as the French say. Russia work ihg.on a five year plan begins to real ize it. Bolshevism thought all the evil was with the employers, ail high virtue with the workers. But at present Russia, an. employer on a gigantic scale, faces employers’ difficulties, and realizes, that the gen ial proletarian is not always IW. per cent perfect or devoted- o Russia has been obliged to pay . higher wages for better Work, giving up the theory that all men are equal, which they are not. , By the eid of the lite-year program. which may be a success, although Wail Street has been "holding its thumbs" hoping it wouldn’t/ Russia’s rulers will know many employers’ problems. If the government succeeds in making an industrial nation of a collection of 2oO,<MM) Russian villages and 100,000,00 Russian farmers. Russia will grow gigantically rich. Then the leaders will change their views, as. they do everywhere else, where money Hows in and radicalism ebbs. The misfortune of the individual, thanks to human nature, which is funlamentally good, often brings • blessing to others, Egbert C. Fuller of Connecticut endured the agony of seeihg his wife die of cancer. He is dead now, and in the Anna Fuller fund, in her memory, leaves $1,500,000 to fight the world’s most dangerous, disease. The money will be spent to alleviate cancer suffering, to study its cause and treatment and, wise provision, to educate the public as to prevention and treatment of cancer. New York reports a new kind of killing. It was desired by criminals to "s*hut the mouth” of a young woman named Georgia She is dead of double pneumonia, and the AntiCrime society believes that the pneumonia germs were administered to her as a method of silencing her. It was successful.

IT DIDN’T RAIN MUCH BUT—THERE WAS A FLOOD ADLRIGHT

This is the story of a flood. It didn't rain 40 days and nights, and no one built an ark. But here was enough water to require a lot of mopping. / Miss Gertrude Hoch took care of her nephew, Stanley Hoopingarner, aged 3H years, during Mrs. Fred. Hoopingarner’s stay in the hospital; and has been staying with her sister, since her return home, as she is not yet able to be up out of bed. Monday afternoon, seeing hat Stanley’s hands were slightly soiled, his aunt Gertrude suggested he go upstairs to the bath room to w ash them. Now anyone knows that its easier to wash your hands, in the bath tub than in the wash bowel, if you are* “not quite 4 years old;” and what’s the stopper in the bath tub for if not to use; and what use is it to turn

Hoy, secretary, and Mrs. Fred Self, treasurer During the meeting each member learned who her “sunshine friend” had been during the past year, and names were drawn for the coming, year. The duty of a “sunshine friend” is to send cards or small tokens tc the owner of the name drawn, on her | birthday, on holidays, and anniver . saries: and to remember to pay par- ! ticular attention to her if she becomes ill during the year. The “sun- > shine friend’s” identity is kept secret j until the end of the year.

■>n one faucet a little bit when there are two faucets that will make a lovely stream of water if you turn them both on? Perhaps Stanley thought things over this way, and maybe even washed his hands while pre-occupied with thought. One thing is certain, he remembered some pressing business engagement downstairs that caused him to quite forget the nice water he’d been playing in. His aunt Gertrude didn’t notice it either until she heard a young river start downstairs. She rushed upstairs and waded across the hall and bathroom to the i bath tub where she managed to turn off the flood. And then Miss Gertrude Hoch spent Monday afternoon mopping. k
