yet in one branch Of science they were
the peer Of the greatest. and that is
in the book of life, the calculus of true
values.
The ancient rabbis grasped the na-
ture OF charity in way which we
have to learn and understand. With
them charity was justice, not a mat
ter which one could do or not do at
ones sweet pleasure. They recognized
the truth that none is the possessor
OF what he calls his own-his property.
Have you alone made property
value? Vast wastes are worth moth
ing in the Sahara desert Why Is a
square inch of priceless value in the
congested districts of our industrial
centers? Because humanity needs this
square inch Of mud. Who puts value
on property, then? Not you alone. All
Of us. Where is there any right to
property? There is no such right.
Those old rabbis never let ali human
ity know that benefactor had arisen
and given few drops to found an in
stitutiOn for others. They left that
for our times when the bells are tolled
when nabOb gives few dollars-a
man of power and often of very little
conscience They have the Midas
touch that turns everything to money.
What is money to themi Nothing.
There is not scintilla Of negation In
what they give. There Is denial in
the widows mite, but the Rockefellers
and the Jacob Schiffs, for that matter,
who stand up against their deluge Of
gold, find relief in giving large dona-
tons. But the rich that give, even If
they expect to get praise, are clothed
In snowy purity compared to the mis-
cradle mass of selfshness who stands
In the marts with gold showering upon
him and gives nothing to charity.
There is but one standard to-day
money. Success spells money. Failure
means money lacking. What a miser-
able standard is this hasheesh and
decading opiate Of money! So dead to
the truer instincts Of humanity! Think
VI IL, IL you udIc, vi d MOScS nduullIS
millions, Of a Jesus with pockets over
flowing with ducats or Mohammed
as a rich man! But men to-day ina
gine they are better than those in their
company because their pockets are
filled with more gold. Money charity
kills. We need true philanthropy-th
love Of man for man.

The only way to redeem college ath-
letlcs from the evils which now beset
them Is to abolish the professionalism
associated with them and throw open
the grounds free to the public In all
exhibition games between the students
Of State institutions or those deriving
special privileges from the State when
the games are played on their respect
I've grounds. Whenever that is done
college athletics will be placed on ra-
tonal grounds and emancipated from
all those objectionable features which
now degrade them.

RICH HUNT TOY DEER.
Clarence H. Mackay InstaIIs Unique
Hunting Game for His Guests.

Even in this age Of extravagant me-
chanical contrivances it is doubtful
whether any toy has been constructed
so unusual and costly as that which
Clarence H. Mackay has installed on
his estate at Harbor Hill, near Ross
lyn, l.. |. Shooting galleries, in which
figures of rabbits, pigs and lions bob
up and disappear to test the aim of
sportsmen, long have been familiar to
visitors to Coney Island and similar re-
sorts. Mr.. Mackay has constructed in
the widest part Of his big estate an
electric railway to furnish him the
same sport on scale and in a manner
that is true to nature.
The railway, which runs in an ir-
regular ellipse and is operated by cleo
tricity, is mile long, and winds errat-
ically in and out among the woods and
broken ground. The animal is provid-
ed in the shape Of life-sized deer,
mounted on small bogie truck
At speed which can be regulated
at any pace up to 10 or ~ miles an
hour the deer Is carried through the
woods, and as it appears at the differ
ent openings out among the trees along
the route of the railway Mr. Mackay
and his sporting friends get chance
for just such a quick shot as the hun
ter In the Maine woods has to reply on
to fill his bag.
At the end of the run the truck
passes over an automatic switch which
shuts off the current and the deer
comes to standstill in a sheltered Dit.
where marker is posted He notes
the places where the deer has been hit
telephones by means of a special wire
laid down for the purpose the results
OF his aim to the man with the gun
and then as soon as he has pasted n
piece Of canvas or brown paper over
the wounds that have been made is
ready to start the deer off again to run
the gauntlet of the marksmen a second
or a third time.

Ordinarily great fortune is built
up like stone wall-a stone at a time.
The young man who declines to lay

short Of wall, will never make pro.

mense proportion of the people of this
country live up to their incomes, lay
Ing aside nothing for the, traditional

$1,000 In a bunch they save nothing.
The greatest financial kings have not

look after even the fractions of pen

Manuel Garcia, one of the most re-
markable men in the world to-day, has
recently sat for his portrait to John
y. Sargent. Garcia is a Spanish singer
who visited the United States In 1926
with an opera company, and sang in
various parts Of the country. The ia
nous singer Madame Malibran, was
his sister. He returned to Europe and
taught Jenny Lind in Paris, and for
the past fifty years or thereabouts has
been music teacher in London. He
Is a hundred years old, and is still

In the British Royal Academy Of Music
until ne was 80. when he retired to re-

that the portrait which Sargent ha q
painted is the only one Of a centena-
rian In existence, and Garcia himself

JOHN c. CALHOUN. iber that II is diff
cult to claim pre-eminence for any one
of them.
Their characteristics were to some
extent strikingly similar. Integrity OF
character, incorruptlbility in the pub
lie service and absolute sincerity of
purpose in affairs of state, distinguish
ed John Caldwell Calhoun to the same
extent that they characterized his
contemporaries. Webster called him
"a Senator Of Rome when Rome sur
vived."
The patriotic utterances of Calhoun
at the time of the outbreak of the war
of 1912 reused the country to defend
itself against the second British ag-
gression. After the war, during the
administration of Monroe, Calhoun
acted as Secretary of War, and to this
day the department feels the impress
of his genius for organization.
Although some of the measures that
Calhoun advocated were considered to
be menace to the existence Of the
union, 1t Is stated on the best of au-
thority that Calhoun himself simply
upheld them because he believed them
to be not only constitutional but also
for the best interest of the country.
and that had he thought them inimical
to the union he would never have de-
Tended them. With his high and noble
aspirations and his stainless reputa-
ton as patriot there can be no doubt
Of this.

heart feasting itself on the putrid and
dea tn breeding carcass Of low affec-
tions, is calamity from which every
man should seek deliverance. The
guilty conscience, which brings to its
victim the bowed head, the unsteady
eye, the incoherent speech, the aimless
life, is the monster whose grip means
death. The soul, locked in such
prison house, must be forever chained
to the skeleton of despair.

At recent meeting of shoe dealers
in New York City the statement was
made by leading shoe manufacturer
that the women of the next generation
would have larger feet than the wom-
en- of this generation. He said there
was growing tendency among women
to buy shoes plenty large for their feet
And that women are also asking for
thicker soles and lower and broader
heels. The casual observer must have
noted this tendency. Here and there
women cling to tight shoes, wafer soles
and perch themselves upon the silt Of
a high and narrow heel. They do so
because some one sets the style. And
style, while 1t is the end Of all con-
troversy, Is itself being modified by
the canons Of good sense and comfort.
The short-sklrted street gown and the
natural waist are evidences. Men long
ago rebelled against skin-tight foot
wear. They no longer squeeze all the
blood out of their feet. Some of us
will remember a time when mems fash.
ions decreed the high-heeled, tight-fit-
ting boot that could only be removed
by an instrument known as the boot
jack" This antique taste still survives
with the western cowboy. The causes
for the new tendency in women's foot
wear are to be found in girls gymna-
Sums and in the modern physical
training Of women. The girl of to-day
who takes long tramps to fill her lungs
and color her cheeks, or does her exer-
cises for physical development, does
not want her feet plnched and does
not care for the dignity of high heels.
She wants something substantial and
comfortable.

For comforts that they lack.

CURE FOR DOUBT.

ny Kew. OrrfH X. jerks.
Many sincere persons are troubled
with doubts. They want to believe,
but they find themselves in the grip Of
unbelief. What can be done for these
persistent doubters? How can they be
helped to wise dealing with the men-
tai and spiritual troubles?
Doubt in practical life Is worthless
Here is man who takes account Of
his religious stock and finds that he
has 10000 doubts. Another man finds
that he has one thing that he believes
thoroughly. That man who believes
one thing will have more power than
the man who disbelieves 10000 things.
Find out what you do believe and
use that faith. People are perplexed
as to some things in the Bible. But
there Is much in the Bible that every
one believes. What we do believe we
ought to use in the servic Of our fel-
ows and for the blessing Of the world.

TRUE EARTHLY CITIZENSHIP.
BY Bishop Samuel FaIoWA
The apostle Paul In his epistle to the
Philippians says, "Our citizenship is in
heaven" When he wrote those words
he was prisoner in Rome under the
Infamous Nero. He himself was a
free-born Roman citizen, but the great
mass of Roman Christians were slaves.

ton, but they had a sublime faith in
the dignities and glories OF heavenly
citizenship.
The times have changed. Christians
are citizens of the foremost nations of
the earth. Earthly citizenship is to
reflect the glory Of Justice, righteous
ness and love, the very essence OF
heavenly principles. No Christian can
claim exemption from any duty con-
nected with that citizenship any more
than he can from any home or busi-
ness obligation. He must use his judg-
ment and common sense in the en-
deavor to discharge 1t.
The best means must be used to at
tain the highest ends, and yet it may
not be compromise with conscience
to vote for a man although he does
not stand in every particular for the
things which we believe to be of the
greatest Importance to the city or the
State. But the one who will try to
secure the largest measure of good
to the community by an honest earn
est, intelligent administration of af-
fairs should receive hearty support.
Neutrality or Indifference in politics
is sin against Christian citizenship.
