The point of the famous remark of
the Apostle James lies in the fact that
God is omniscient. Because he is the
source of all knowledge and all wis

thus: IF any man of you lacketh wis

One of the greatest of living sculp-
tors, George Gray Bernard, has a
unique and striking representation of
Friendship The sculptor shows two
figures cropping, feeling, struggling out
to each other. but a great block of
marble intervenes. This is a truer
representation of friendship than the
commonplace one of two lives united.
For at it's best and highest, human
friendship is only an effort to sur
mount the barrier of personality, an
outstretching of spirit toward spirit,
with an occasional touch. In the
friendship of God with man there is
none of this limitation. God knows
us perfectly; it is with full under
standing of our natures that he calls
us friends. The most perfect COM
munion possible between spirits is the
communion between God and his fol-
lowers.

that it is God who guides should be

Gunzendorfer Machine, II Is Claimed,
Has Many Advantages over Sue
cessfuI MonopIanes of Blerlot
and Wright Blpane.

San Francisco.-A few months In
the future Mervyn Gunzendorfer, 10
years old. expects to be flying over
the Preside grounds in an aeroplane
invented and made by himself He
has built working model of the ma
chine and has made it perform sue
cessful flights.
The Gunzendorfer machine, the boy
inventor says, has big advantages over
the successful monoplanes of Bleriot
and Farnum. and over the Wright
brothers biplane.
Mervyn, who is the son of j. Gun
zendorfer, of this city, is a small boy
with a big round head and big eyes,
He Is quiet, even to shyness, and it
is with difficulty that he can be In
duced to talk of his achievements.
He set the motor of his model working
and made the propellers whirl when
asked to show the machine. In UNI
easy monosyllables he told how he had
induced the little craft to fly in his
back yard and down the alleyway to
the street. 1t had flown so to 100
feet, and the only thing that had
stopped 1t from going farther was the
wire by which the power was sup
piled to the electric motor.
The boy began pointing out the SUI
perior points of his machine.
More supporting surface" he said,
pointing to the arrangement of his
planes. which are placed tandem style,
each tilted upward toward the front"
That was clear. Two sheets of can
vas placed that way would certainly
offer more resistance to the air in
falling than would two OF equal size
placed one above the other. But how
was this arrangement better than that
of the monoplane. with its one long
stretch of canvas?
ITS this way" he said. The air
hits under here Indicating the under
side of the front plane). So there's
a double support to keep it lifted with
the force of the air that hits it from

and for rising, too.

Certainty It seems like carrying
Goals to Newcastle to speak of export
ing oatmeal to Scotland and yet, every
year the Quaker Oats Company sends
hundreds of thousands of cases OF
Quaker Oats to Great Britain ana
Europe.
The reason is simple; while the
English and Scotch have for centuries
eaten oatmeal in quantities and with
regularity that has made them the
most rugged physically, and active
mentally of all people, the American
has been eating oatmeal and trying all
the time to improve the methods OF
manufacture so that he might get that
desirable foreign trade.
How well he has succeeded would
be seen at glance at the export re-
ports of Quaker Oats. This brand is
recognized as without rival in clean
