The Nation and the Lutheran


The Liberty Bell was first rung
by a Lutheran. The first American
flag was made by women of the
Lutheran Gloria Del Church associ-
ated with Betsy Ross. 1t was first
flown by General Herkimer and his
Pennsylvania Germans, August 9Th,
1777.
At the time of the nations organ
ization, the first speaker OF the
House of Representatives was a
lutheran, Frederick Augustus Null
enberg. In the war of 1912, Luth-
Grams saved Baltimore from being
burned as Washington was. In
1860, Lincoln was elected by Luth-
eran votes in such Lutheran states
as Ohio, Michigan, Illinois, Wiscon-
sin and Iowa. Lutherans were
among the first to volunteer in
1851, namely, a company from
Reading, and one from Allentown.
Forty-eight of the Union generals in
the Civil war were Lutherans. In
our recent war, Lutherans were con-
spicious because they furnished far
beyond their quota of men. Six per
cent of the Lutheran population was
engaged, as against a general av.
erage Of 4 per cent for the entire
population.
When all these facts are consider
ed, every Lutheran has a right to be
proud that his church has contrub-
uted no small part in the making of
our glorious democratic nation

IOWA AIDS PUEBLO SUFFERERS
To date, S4,461.59 has been con-
tributed by Iowa residents to Pueb-
10 flood suffers, through Red Cross
channels, according to figures from
the auditing department of the Cen
trail division with headquarters in
Chicago. This includes personal
contributions, as we'll as those from
chapters. The nine states in the di-
vision have donated s36,450.64 eth
er directly to Pueblo or through the
division office.
OF the 100000 needed for re-
Mobilization, $35O,000 has been re-
ceived from all parts of the country
and is now in the hands of the treas
urer of the Red Cross. This amount
includes the 100000 contributed
by the National Red Cross as soon
as news of the flood was received
in Washington, $4,000 from the
various chapters of the organization
and approximately $125,000 con-
tributed by Colorado cities.
Figures from the Pueblo area
where the Red Cross is still engag-
ed in the task of restoring the life
of the community, show that 1851
persons were made homeless by the
flood. The total number of homes
destroyed or damaged totals 2,31S.
The half million asked for rehabiliz
tation work does not cover the
building program.

AirpIane Compass.

An entirely new kind Of compass,
for use on airplanes, is the invention
Of a German named Bamberg.> 1t de-
ponds for It's operation upon the cleo
trical resistance Of selenium, which
varies with any change In the in
tensity Of light falling upon it.
The bowl Of the compass contains
two electric bulbs, directly opposite
each other, which throw their rays
through a lens whereby the rays are
concentrated upon two selenium cells
mounted on bridge extending across
the top of the bowl.
The compass may be mounted on the
tail Of the airplane, so as to be at a
distance from all disturbing magnetic
influences, the position of its needle
or pointer being made known to the
pilot by an electrically connected in
dicatOr In front Of him.

American Cutlery in Demand.

The natives of many foreign cOun-
tries sit down to tables spread with
fine American cutlery. During the
past year exports of American table
cutlery amounted to $2,30O,OOO. In
Europe Norway was the best custom
err of our cutlery industry with pur-
chases totaling $225,0OO, while such
a comparatively small market as Den
mark was able to take table cutlery
up to the value Of $4,000. But the
most important markets for United
States table cutlery are now found
in the two American continents. The
biggest purchaser Of table cutlery Is
Brazil. with total requirement Of
$524,00O during the last year. 1t was
followed by Argentina with purchase
totaling $2S9.OO0, while Chile and Cuba
each took far in excess Of 100000 and
Mexico was just touching the 100000
line. This growth of the foreign de-
mand for American table cutlery
shows best the great progress that
has been made in the manufacture of
high-class cutlery In the United States.
The table cutlery business of the world
was in the past practically the domain
OF European producers.

Ingenious Saffron Imitation.

A curious and ingenious imitation
Of Spanish saffron has been brought
to light by chemists Of the United
States Agricultural department in u
recent consignment of dyestuffs. SAT-
from obtained chiefly from southern
Europe, is yellow dye consisting of
the stigmas of the crocus, and, as
more than 1000 flowers are required
for an ounce, the material Is some
what expensive. Samples Of the sus-
pected importation proved on analysis
to be flowers of a common plant re-
sembling the Scotch thistle. These
had been colored with red and blue
dyes, weighted with saltpeter, borax
and glycerine, favored with something
like saffron oil, and crinkled to give a
close resemblance to the dried crocus
stigmas

Knew That Much.

The owner of a house on the South
side had timer to figure on putting
on a new gutter, relates the Indian
apolis News. When the timer gave
him the price on the job the owner
exclaimed, "Why man, would never
pay that price. I'll put it on myself
first"
But now stop and think; you would
have to buy level just to put on that
little piece of gutter" said the timer.
81 don't see where you would save
any money"
This made the owner think. But the
next minute he replied. Say! Don't
you think that l have enough brains
to know that all I've got to do is
pour a bucket Of water in that gut
ter. If the water runs out I guess the
job will do"
