ADVENTURERS’ fO CLUB '•WjJ fl!) zT — / l/J/li A' YAffJUlhfinht “Battle for Life 19 By FLOYD GIBBONS Famous Headline Hunter. WELL, I hope you boys and girls know how to handle a pair of chop sticks, because today we’re going to China. We’re going with the United States marine corps, but don’t think that’s going to be any special protection, because China’s a big country, and Shanghai is a big city. And the marines can’t be everywhere. To teh you the bare and unvarnished truth about It. they didn’t even do a very good Job of protecting Marvin W. Atchison, who told me about IL And Marr, I’ll have you know, was one of their own boys—a Marine himself. All his life. Marv Atchison had wanted to look over China. Maybe he had that idea in the back of his mind when he joined the Marine corps. Well. If be did, the Marines sure did right by him, because they took him there and gave him plenty of chances to see all he wanted of the doggone country. * . Marv Wanted to See China—and Did! And If Marv saw Just a little more of China—well—that was his own mistake and not any fault of the outfit Marv was on the U. 8. 8. Marblehead, one of Uncle Sam’s 7,500-ton cruisers, when orders came to get out on the water and do a bit of sailing. Ths Marblehead hit several ports in the West Indies, went through the Panama canal to Hawaii, and then, to Mary's entire satisfaction, continued on across the Pacific, bound for China. Must of the men aboard had never seen China, and. like Marv, were all eager to set foot on shore. Marv and a shipmate were among the first to get shore liberty. They piled Into a sampan and headed for the docks bf the International settlement, and the first thing they saw on those docks were about a hundred rickshaws, all lined up waiting for them. Marv and his shipmats tach grabbed themselves a rickshaw and started to ride around. Everything was all right until they decided to leave the International settlement and go over Into the native section of the city. Then, somehow or other, the two rickshaws got separated and Marv lost his buddy. ' . With his pal gone. Marv’s first thought was to get back to the International settlement. He had heard stories of the things that happened to lone Marines prow Ung around In Chinese cities. It’s Not Easy to Make a Chinaman Understand. He tried to make his rickshaw coolie understand what he wanted, but the coolie, although he had comprehended all the other orders that had been given FoS The Chinaman Dumped Him Out Onto the Ground. I to him. suddenly decided that he didn’t know what Marv was talking about Marv had to yell pretty loud, and shako his fist a couple of times before the coolie was convinced that the dodge wouldn't work. Then he said. **Me go back,” and headed for the International settlement. Marv watched the coolie pretty closely on the way back—determined that if there was going tobe any monkey business, Im was going to know about It I first But the coolie didn't try any tricks until they were safely back tn the Inter- ! national settlement Then, suddenly, he turned the rickshaw into a dark alley. Marv tensed his body and got ready for a scrap, but be was wholly unprepared for what happened next The Chinaman, raising the handles of the rickshaw high In the air, dumped him out backward onto the ground. Marv landed on the . i back of his head, and for a minute the blow sort of stunned him. Then, before he could get to hla feet again, the coolie let out a war whoop | and slinking, ysllow-faeed figures came pouring into that alley from all directions, "y , it was a situation which, to Marv’s mind, called for football tactics. He made a flying tackle for the nearest pair of his assailants, and they went down. Life Is Cheap and Murder Easy in China. But at the same time. Marv felt the weight of a dozen others as they piled on top of him. kicking, scratching, clawing. Flat on the ground, held down by the weight of 10 or 15 Chinese, Marv couldn't move. He felt hands reaching into his pockets—searching for his money—but he couldn’t do a thing about it p At last he felt a skinny daw groping tn the right pocket—coming out with his money. What would those babies do now? Would they leave him alone, now that they had what they wanted? Or would they kill him. to keep him quiet, or—well—just on general principles Life Is cheap In China! But what these coolies would have done is a question that was never answered; For suddenly the Chinese wore on their feet again, scrambling for the nearest exits. A Sikh policeman-—one-of the guardians of the law tn the International set- j tlement—had aptieared at the mouth of the alley, slashing right and left with his wooden truncheon. The Sikh had caught one of the coolies. and Marv grabbed another. They j took them back to the police station, and Marv. bls clothes almost torn off his back, returned to his ship, hla head full of good advice about watching your step with Shanghai rickshaw coolies. ©— WNU Servtoa

IMPROVED* 4 UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL SUNDAY I chool Lesson By REV. P. K. FITZWATER. D. U. Member of Faculty. Moody Bible Institute of Chicaso. © Weatarn Newspaper Vnlo*. Lesson for October 20 THE MESSAGE OF JEREMIAH LESSON TEXT—Jeremiah 1:1-81. GOLDEN TEXT—Obey my voice, and I will be your God. and ye shall be my people. Jeremiah 1:23. PRIMARY TOPIC—What Jeremiah Said. JUNIOR TOPlC—Jeremiah’s Stirring Message. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPlC—Doing What God Commands. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC—The Will of God for Our Time*. The prophet stood In the gate of the temple In order that the multitudes might hear him. The occasion was the coming together of the people from all over the country to attend a feast From this place of prominence Jeremiah called the people to obedlj ence. I. What God Requires (vv. 1-7). 1. Amend your ways (v. 3). This ' means that their course of living 1 should be reformed by exchanging bad > deeds for good ones. On the basis of i this change God would permit them to I remain in their city and country. FalL j ure to comply with this demand would eventuate in their expulsion. 2. Personal experience (v. 4). The people regarded the temple as a charm j against evil, irrespective of the con- | dltlon ot their hearts. Without a heart I experience, ths most sacred Institution and ordinances are valueless. Trusting in religious forms while lacking a vital experience Is the height of folly. 3. Social justice (y. 5). The proof of their having reformed was the execution of justice between man and his neighbor. The evidence of one’s being In touch with God is his fair dealing with his fellow men. A Not to oppress the helpless (v. 6). The stranger would likely be ignorant of the laws of the land. The I widows and orphans would usually be Imjx'sed upon. Protection and defense ! of the weak is a sure sign of godliness. 5. Not walk after other gods (v. 6). The worship of Idols and conformity to heathen customs go hand in hand. True morality is determined by the individual's attitude toward God. 11. Some Solemn Warnings (vv. 8-15). 1. The teachings of false prophets (vv. 8-11). These false prophets taught the people that attention to ceremony and observance of religious form exempted them from strict attention to moralg, Those who heeded the words of the lying prophets did not | hesitate to steal, murder, adultery, swear falsely, and practice Idolatry. "They would even come into the Lord’s house and claim freedom to practice such abominations. The sacred temple itself, filled with such wor■j shippers, would be a den of robbers. 2. By the destruction of Shiloh (vv. 12-15). God caused his tabernacle to be set up In Shiloh, but in Eli's time he gave it into the hands of the Philistines because of the idolatry of the people (Ps. 78:56-00). The prophet declared that God would do even so with the temple, the city and the whole I country. This he had already done with Israel and the northern kingdom. 111. Ths Hopeless Condition gs the People (vv. 16-20). Their propensity to do evil was so strong that all efforts at reclamation • were futile. 1. Pray not for them (v. 16). There is such a thing as sinning unto death. In which case prayer Is useless (v.,16; es. I John 5:16). 2. Entire families devoted their energies to that which provoked God's anger (vv. 17-19). This was done by young and old. men and women. They did it with the definite purpose to pro- : voke God s anger. The prophet assured them that the outcome of such conduct would be their utter confusion. IV. Judgment Sure to Fall (v. 20). Because the people poured out their offerings to Idols, the furious anger and wrath of God would be poured out upon men, beasts, trees and the fruit of the ground. How this has been ful- | filled the history of the Jews makes I clear. V. Obedience to God Better than Sacrifice (vv. 21 26). The prophet appealed to history to j show that God requires heart service rather than the observance of religious forms. Blessings came to Israel through obedience, while cursings followed disobedience. On condition of obedience to his requirements God promised to own them as his people and to bless them. Thovght In the end, thought rales the world There are times when impulses and passions are more powerful, but they soon expend themselves; while mind, acting constantly, is ever ready to drive them back and work when their energy is exhausted. A Crisis Let this thought, then, be lodged deeply in every youthful mind, that now is the crisis of life—that every hour of time, every habit of thought, feeling, or action, the book or paper you read, the words you hear, the companions you associate with, the purposes you cherish, each makes its indelible mark, and all combine and work together in forming you for future honor, usefulness and happiness, or for shame, misery, and death.— Collyer. ArgwaaoMt How foolish it is to try and eure by argument what time will cure so completely and so gently if left to Itself. As 1 get older, the anxiety to prove myself right if I quarrel dies out, I hold my time, and time vindicates me, if It Is possible to vindicate me, or convicts me If I am wrong. —Mark Rutherfords ’•Deliverance’’ Edocatioß is that which fits a man to perform justly, skillfully, and magnanimously, all the offices, both social and jpivate, of ponce and war.—Hilton.

Being an economist and a humorist simultaneously today may seem rather Incongruous to many but not I to Stephen Leacock. He Is one economist who can still see the bright side of life and, what is more, write humorously about it. Born in Swanmoor, England, in 18C9, educated at i the Universities of Toronto and Chli cago. Leacock first taught economy I in Upper Canada college and then L in the University of Chicago. In I 1904 he became head of the department of economics at McGill university, Montreal. Considered one of j the greatest of Canadian humorists. Leacock has written several books, I among them being Moonbeams From the Large Lunacy and College Days. OUR IGNORAMUS CLUB — By STEPHEN LEACOCK EVER since we started In our town our new Ignoramus Club, of which I'm the secretary, I am stopped on the street by ■ people Asking, **What Is it? What is it? How do I get In?”’ And letters! j I’m simply bombarded by them—four yesterday and two more today! As soon as It got ’round that there was no fee, there was Just a sort of stampede. to get In when we sat dowh at our Wednesday Luncheon meeting to hear a talk on Abyssinia (it’s out we9t In Canada: the euanliad been there) I counted over a Ttundred present and more came in after the tickets were taken up. People get Into the Ignoramus Club, you see, on their brains, or at least on their minds, the kind of minds they have. We do It by question and answer, Just by questioning the people who want to get In and seeing if they have the right qualifications. For example, yesterday after the Lunch we asked an applicant what was his idea of Mussolini; and be said that he was pretty sure It was an artificial silk made Ln Italy and used for lingerie! Ho got In. That is exactly what the Club wants. You see It started from the idea that the world is all -overworried and preoccupied about peace and *war, and nations who live God knows where, and economics and unemployment People just grab for their paper in the morning to see who’s in the Polish corridor, and what’s In the Saar Basin and whether the plebiscite among that Last will keep them Lats or turn them into Slats. It’s too much. We think the world's going crazy- Our I*resident McSorley, put it that way. “Going crazy!" he said, just like that, snapping his fingers, "going crazy!” And McSorley's fine. Its' all silly about Ms ever having been in an asylum, because he wasn't It wasn't an asylum at all, just a place! McSorley could have had the biggest law practice in town, but he was too versatile for it He still has Ms office, and rows and rows of books tn calfskin. He sits there most of the day. working puzzles. So of course, when we started the Ignoramus Club he was just the man for President Well, we have got together on the basis of complete Ignorance of all thia foolishness. We don’t know where the Polish Corridor is and we don’t care. Ask us where Manchukuo is and we just langh! Just break out silly and laugh! You see. we dont know where if Is and if you told us we’d forget it tomorrow and think It was somewhere else. In fact we are just like everybody used to be before the world went crazy. At the last meeting somebody one of our lady members something about Flandin. Do we have ladies? Well, do we! What do yon think we are, professors? Os course we have lady members, real peaches, and not one knows where Paraguay Is, either, and they think that Chaco is chewing gum. Perhaps you saw In the papers the other day the story of how a man said to a girl at a dance. "I’d like to ask you for a dance but I must confess I’m just a little stiff from Polo." and she said "Oh, that’s all right. I don’t care where you were born." Well, that girl la one of our members: She qualified on that remark. What did the lady say about FHndin? Oh, she said that tablets like that were all right if you couldn't sleep. As a matter of fact some of our members seem to get Into the dub just in time. They took sick and worn out when they come In, and In a week or two they quit worrying about the Polish Corridor, and they think the Bdffa to the nanse of a movie star and they’re all right What do we do at the meetings? Come round aoaw time and see. Wo

•— have lunch meetings and evening meetings, too; generally have a paper or a discussion, anything, as long as the members don’t know anything about it and don’t care. We’re having a lunch on Disarmament Wednesday. And of course In away we’re a “service” club. At least we’re pledged to do something for the kiddles We had a smoker for them, last time—you know, to raise money for the Scouts, great little fellows ! But we lost out on it; the cigars cost too much. We had to borrow out of the little fellows’ savings bank to get even. But we’ll -fix It all later. As McSorley said, “Boyhood Is sacred." We’ll see they get their money back. We can raise it from their parents. We’re Just starting up a Summer Camp for Underfed Kids. Some of us are going out next Saturday to see how the food is, and If there is fishing for the kiddies. But come to any of the meetings and you’ll see. The best thing we’ve started yet is out Legion of Humor. No, not honor, “Humor.” It’s a yellow ribbon the color of spilled egg; it goes on the lapel of the coat. Whenever any statesman or politician makes a special speech, the thing called a “vital pronouncement.” we send it to him. But come round some time. © Stephen Ueacock.—WNV Service. Aborigine Tribe Sleeps in Odd Pyramid Fashion The Capuchin friars, who for many years have sought to educate the wild aborigines of the Maranhao forests and Convert them to Christianity, tell ‘ of a quaint, if somewhat oppressive sleeping habit among the Arubu tribes, according to a Brazil correspondent in the Washington Post. All In the tribe sleep in one cabin. The eldest lie on the ground. The middle-aged lie on top of the old ones, the younger lie on top of the middleaged, and so on. until the youngest are at the top of the pyramid. This practice, the friars said, does not seem to hasten the demise of the patriarchs and matriarchs of the dans. If the young men of the tribes fall in love they sue for qffectlon in an unusual way. The young men keep loading their shoulders with a heavy burden. Heavier and still heavier loads go on, while the young man tries % to catch the eye of the girl he wants.

Hamburg Steak Is Good Choice Easiest Way to Cook It Is to Season Meat and Form. Into Flat Cake. Hamburg steak is a good choice for the meat at a quick meal. The easiest and quickest way to cook It Is to season the meat and form it into one flat cake. Place this under the broiler or in a hot oven. When it has browned take it out and sprinkle with finely minced raw onion. If it is baked in the oven the onion may be put on top before cooking and browned. Another way of seasoning Hamburg steak Is to make it “white with salt, black with pepper, yellow with mustard” before cooking. I a® suggesting rice Instead of potatoes to serve with the meat Rice can be cooked in about twenty minutes. After it Is drained it may be stirred into a frying pan containing about two tablespoonfuls of melted bacon fat and a quarter of a cup' of minced green pepper. It should be stirred with a fork over the fire until heated through. New cabbage, shredded, will cook in boiling water in about ten minutes. Be sure not to .cover it while cooking. It is good dressed with a little cream or top milk after It has been drained. Grape conserve is a favorite winter jam. and If you get an opportunity to buy a basket of grapes at a reasonable price you will get full value for your money, for grape conserve and buttered toast are an unbeatable combination. The ever-popular dill pickle is one which is usually made in large quantities, but there is really no reason why they cannot be made In smaller lots. If desired. Dill Pickles. Grape leaves Bunch of dill Cabbage leave* th gallons water 1 lb. coarse salt 1 peck C-inch cucumbers Add salt to water, bring to boiling 'point, skim. Scrub cucumbers, dry, put layer in bottom of crock, add layer of grape leaves, then bunch of dills. Repeat until all cucumbers are used, and cover top with cabbage leaves. Put ten-pound weight on and fill with brine. Cover and let stand until cucumbers are transparent and light in color —two to three weeks.
