THE HOUR APPROACHES-F.

Many nations shall come and say, Come,
and let go up to the mountain OF the Lord.
and to the house OF the God Of Jacob; and he
Will teach OF his ways and we Will walk in
his paths.
And he shall Judge among many people and
rebuke strong nations afar off, and they shall
beat their swords into ploughshares and their
spears into prunnfnghooks: nation shall not lift
up a sword against nation, neither shall they
learn any more
but they shall sit every under his vine
and under his fig tree; and none shall make them
afraid for the mouth OF the Lord Of hosts hath
spoken it."
such was the prophecy written centuries ago
promise toward which the people of the world have
always striven. a vision Of civilization from which
they have been kept by the enshackling chains Of
ignorance and nate and fear.
The hour is a hand for the realization Of this
prophetic promise which comes out Of the dim past
Three years have passed since the last shot
fired in the most terrible war OF all rme-a that
had the greatest heights OF bitterness and
anger and hatred. Yet that brief srace has wiped
from the hearts Of those who enemies most of
the bitterness and most Of the hatred.
Humanity has reached that stage OF development
that it's heart Is incapable Of sustained hate.
Today the peoples of all nations are looking for
bred by hate, the chance to live every under
his vine under his fig tree" without the pressing
fear Of attack
This week the representatives Of the great go,
nens OF the world meet in the land which gave birth
70 idea Of freedom and self government. Of hap
piness founded service and not aggression, Of
equality rights and justice.
They come in response to an invitation from this
country to discuss plans for ending and
removing from the earth the costly. useless burden
OF competitive armament.
win the prophecy written in the Book Of Micah
pass? Or must there be still other centuries
of agony. of killing. of hate, Of destruction?
Were the choice left to the people of any nation
represented that choice would be for peace.
There is but one danger-and that lies in the fact
that these representatives are human they have
men gain power by getting advantage others.
they have watched history by subtlety and
trickery but paid for in blood and tears
Behind locked doors. away from the sight of those
who hopeful for but thing. there will be the
temptation substitute the old diplomacy of greed
and aggression for the present purpose Of peace all
the world.
A united, determined nation prevent failure
by simply insisting that representatives present
the demands of America.
A united. determined people can realize this pro-
phecy of old by demanding that delegates tell
the world that America stands for Leace and Will
accept nothing but peace from others.
People never hate each other. Governments do
hate bitterly.

VIII you live in peace under your vine or fig tree

Editor News-Times:
Dear Sir:
was much interested in the Wo-
mans Page Of The News-Times Of
last Sunday. Oct. 80, and especially
in the article on Americanization by
Mrs. Rostiser. The article is well
written and excellently set forth
some Of the very most essential
facts that women are particularly in
terested in and which such organiza-
tons as the League Of Women VOt-
ers and the Federation Of Clubs are
endeavoring to bring TO the atten-
ton and consideration OF all citizens.
I believe that women in general
are greatly misjudged by the news
paper editors, judging from the ma
terial which is usually offered on a
woman's page. Women are interest
ed in serious things and, believe,
will appreciate it if such articles as
appeared in your paper of last Sun
day are continued. The papers can
help wonderfully in the educational
work Of civic organizations by Civ
ing the women readers real food
for thought.
Very sincerely yours,
Helen NJ. Beardsley.

panicky feeling will sweep over the

EGYPTIAN KIDDIES ENJOY CINDERELLA;
ODD VERSION OF THIS POPULAR STORY

which they read and which hap
pened about go BIC, or about
$500 years ago:
Once upon time, in Greece
lived a beautiful girl named Rhod-
ope, whom, some say, was slave.
One day she was bathing, when,
suddenly, an eagle dropped down
by the shore, pounced upon one of
her slippers and flew away again.
The eagle flew straight to Mem
phis in Egypt and dropped the tiny
slipper in the large court room,
where King Psammeticus was
holding his court of justice.
The king was greatly struck with
the beauty of the tiny slipper and
decided to find out to whom it be-
longed. SO he sent forth procla
nation for the owner. At last
Rhodope was discovered and taken
to Memphis, where the king mar
ried her.
So, we see that this story of a
slave girl who became a queen be-
cause of a beautiful and tiny slip
per is very much like our little
tender of the hearth who became a

FOR OUR HlkERS

Old and experienced woodsman
long ago made extensive observa-
lions and formed set of very re-
liable weather signs that every boy
and girl should know-especial If
he or she is fond of hiking and
camping. To foretell the weather
on a hike or in camp often keeps
one from getting a bad wetting.
The weather signs listed here have
to do with observations on the di-
rection of the wind.
In the summer a south wind
brings heat. In winter you can ex-
pect a thaw. The south wind, in
summer. may mean a shower.
An east wind brings raw, wet
weather with it generally and is
very mean. In the summer look
for rain, but in the winter be ready
for snow, sleet or cold drizzle.
North winds bring cool weather.
and even cold.
The west wind brings with it
good, fair weather, and as long as
the wind does come directly from
the west you can be sure the wealth
er will stay fair.
Learn these things and you can
guard against being caught in a
shower, or, in winter, bad snow
storm.
Then, there is a little rhyme that
is not hard to remember, and is
useful in forecasting the weather.
1t goes:
Evening red and morning gray,
Sends the traveller on his way.
Evening gray and morning red
Brings the rain down on his head"
Mountains OF Australia are little
more than foothills.

The little squirrels are playing
friskily;
The trees stand tall and bare;
The rains and SHOWS are all about
us,
For bleak November does not
spare.
The rabbits, too, are bouncing
lively,
And turkeys growing every day;
And mothers mincG. pies on the
shelf,
The world inviting US to play.
On, may we all be thankful
For these, and all we have!
And know our Father careth
For those who do not have.
And when Thanksgiving's over
Then for another day!
With sleds and dolls and books and
toys,
And Santa on his way.

The Pilgrims Story

The Pilgrims sailed from Eng

the Mayflower; it was the only
ship sailing at that time. They
wanted homes and their own
church Captain Miles Standish
came with them. They had a
rough trip and landed at Cape Cod
and settled at Plymouth. The In
dams gave them corn and showed
them how to plant it. The first
Monday after they landed the wom-

Wonderful Casket

In the long, long time ago, there
lived q poor little girl and her
mother, near the edge OF forest.
One day when they had hardly
anything in the house to eat,
Betty's mother told her she would
have to go out into the forest TO
gather some berries. Betty went
out into the forest and searched
and searched but when noon came
she had hardly enough to cover the
bottom of her basket. Then she
walked On and on, but she did not
know she was near the home of the
Brownies, nor did she know she
was near tree behind which d
Brownie was hiding.
The Brownie saw Betty and he
thought he would test her out and
see whether she was good and
kind.
So, he asked Betty if she would
give MIN some of her berries. The
little girl handed him the basket.
Then he changed himself to a
Brownie again. He went behind a
tree and brought out a beautiful
casket. He said he would give
that to her for being so kind, and
when ever she wanted anything,
she should tap on the box three
times. Betty took the box and
thanked the Brownie.
Betty went home and told her
mother what had happened. So.
that night, the little girl took the
boz and wished she would be loved
by everyone and that she would al
ways be kind and true. Betty's
wish came true. They lived happy
ever after.-Irma Mae Diltz, grade
5A. Starr school.

The Diamond Box

Jack was tired for he had walked
a long way to get to stay with his
father over night. When he got to
his fathers fine house it was
empty, so he thought he would ex-
plore. No one was there and ne
took a certain liking to this GER
tain room in which the diamond
box had been put. In the kitchen
he had found very torn up room.
At the table was the remains of 4
lunch. On a table in one corner
he found a telegram which read as
follows:
Dear Sir:
We have just discovered that
your son is very sick and asks
for you to come at once.
Yours respectfully,
J. II. WEED,
Boys Inspector of Yaletown.
He was much surprised and he
thought that he would go out and
look around. When he returned,
on the chair like he left it, but it
was open and on top was a note
reading as follows;
Yer better git out O. here.
You better not go inter my
room. Your greatest enemy
of the Diamond Box,
JAMES WINTER.
He was more surprised than
ever. For he did not know any
thing about which room was meant.
So, he decided to take the room
that he had taken fancy to. This
was a very bad choice, though, for
1t was the one.
He was going to put his clothes
away when he found box of
diamonds on the outside, and in
side was the billion dollars that his
uncle had said his father had. He
received telegram saying that his
father had died, and everything
was his, and the ghost was only an
old keeper who didn't want this
boy to take possession of the
house. 1.-THE Endl,-Leneta Rose

Retakiru Its Old Position

Egypt is again becoming as she
was in ancient times, granary of

crops are harvested year in this
land because of the richness of the
soil which is made so by the over
flowing of the great Nile river.

Monkeys Liked to Play.

One man living in the South, so
the story goes, thought he would
teach monkeys to pick cotton. The
plan was not very successful, how
ever, for it took two men to watch
three monkeys. The trouble was
that the monkeys could not keep
from throwing the cotton at each
other.

with Nile water which they raise
with queer wooden pumps which
make a whining noise when they
are worked.

ClndereIIa's Glass Slipper

CindereIia's Glass Slipper
The story of Cinderella was told
to German children in the six
teenth century by the Grimm
brothers. A little later it appeared
in France under the name OF
"Cendillon. In this story the
lost slipper was one Of fur. The
French words for a fur slipper
used in the story were" pantoufle
en- yair" "a slipper of fur). When
some Englishman was changing
the story from French into English
he mistook the words zen vair" for
the French words ZEN verre" which
mean "of glass" and wrote it that
way in his story. But the idea of
glass slipper pleased children
everywhere so much that glass
slipper it has always remained in
the story.
