\ SATURDAY EVENING TALK
Song Which Expresses the Needs Of the Soul in Times
of Trouble

today by a man fresh from thc iabora-
tory Of biologist:
The Origin Of Man
"For thou hast possessed my reins.
thou has covered me in my mothers
womb. My substance was
not hid from thee when I was made
In secret and curiously wrought in the
lowest parts Of the earth. Thine eyes
did sec my substance yet being un-
perfect. and in thy book all my men,
nnce were fashioned when as yet there
was none Of them"
This was not written by Darwin, II
was written by David. who was con-
temporary more or less Of Homer.
The whole Of modern psychology, plus
religion, is in the conclusion OF the song
even TO the truth tha, wh,tt one thinks
about. In his subcOnscious state, in
tlucnces his conscious mind:
NIGHT THOUGHTS
How precious al also are thy thoughts unto

The truth of the matter is every new
light men get OH life is reflected back
to the beginnings of thought and re-
vcals In even greater glory the truths
by which the race has struggled on and
up. Wha; a Hebrew sinner who needed
to fight his natural man. il ever n
son OF Adam did--what he discovered Of
the truth about God and himself and
condensed into a formula of the soul is
still OF immense value to the sin and
trouble possessed men of the twentieth
century. The truth it asserts is not Il
palliative nor sedativc, nor is the
attitude 1t suggests for the mind n
mere restoration to some past state of
carcfreeness. 1t offers no nirvana Of
forgetfulness: Search me and know
my heart. Try me and know my
thoughts. And lead me in the way
everlasting.
THERE is in it capitulation and re.

beyond all else the desire and the vii

Don't Let Him Monopollze Your
Time

Dear Cynthia-As a daily reader Of
your column and paper I come to you
for advice on very delicate matter.
Several months ago became ac-
quainted with a young man who was
also a neighbor until three weeks ago,
when he moved. This young man has
taken me out and has treated me
nicely. Now. sometimes he Is very at
tentive and others he seems Indifferent
although he calls nearly every evening
on some pretext or other. Now. what I
would like to know Is whether he IL
serious CT not, as I have learned to
think a great deal of him. and every
time speak to a cousin Of his. also a
young man Of his age. which is twenty.
two years. he tells me he doesn't like
it. II I ask him why he will not
answer me. I am about three years
younger than said man. Your advice
will be greatly appreciated, and wishing
your column n great success. I am
GREATLY PERPLEXED.
It doesn't sound as II he were exactly
Indifferent II he comes in every evening.
Don't let him monopolize your time
unless you are engaged to him. II the
cousin wants to call on you, let him
come. and do not allow the other man
to think he can question you about It.
Let him understand by your actions
that II he Is serious he will have to
declare himself 80.

Sane furnishing and decoration means
comfortable. harmonious rooms in which
it is a pleasure to be. No decoration is
good, or even sane, which causes people
to have fidgety, restless feeling. The
Is nothing more certain to produce Il
restless sensation than the presence OF
too much conspicuous pattern.
A proper amount nf pattern is desir.
able in order to prevent monotony; ton
much pattern fairly squawls and
jangles. A room in which the up.
holstery on the chairs and sofas, the
wallpaper. the hangIngs and the carpet
or rugs all display strong pattern will
have hopeiessly jumbled effect and
be about as restful as n boiler factory.
Instead of agreeable contrast there is
nothing but discOrd.

WHAT'S WHAT
BIZ Helen Decie

This question Is often asked: Should
a man offer his right or his left arm
to a woman when occasion calls for 1t,
such as when he Is usher at a wedding.
party, or when he Is escorting her back
TO her place after she has danced with
him."
The old rule was that the left arm
should be offered to- a woman. This
once invariable law dated from the
times when man was not merely a
casual escort, but a woman's protector,
her defender and her knight-at.arms.
SO, as her champion, he kept his fight
ing arm-his right arm-free for the
adays, some men offer the right arm,
and break no armor-clad rule by. SO do
ing but for the sake of consistency,
It Is better to follow the old conven-
ton, so that In any sort Of escorted
procession the men will be always at the
right side.

The Meaning Of the Crosses on the
British Flag

NlC0IIuS VI SaoooSS
British Flag
An interesting story is connected with
the origin of the British flag, dating
back to the time Of the accession OF
James VI of Scotland to the English
throne as James I. At this time the
White Cross of st. Andrew, the patron
saint of Scotland, and the Red Cross Of
st. George, the patron saint Of Eng
land, were combined. forming the first
Union Jack" which was flown from
the main top of ships. The English still
flew the Cross of st. George at the
foretop, and the Scots the Cross of St.
Andrew.
At the death of Charles I, the union
between England and Scotland was dis
solved and England used the Cross of
st. George and the Scots that OF st.
Andrew once more. When Cromwell be-
came protector, he restored the Union
flag, combining the Cross Of st. George
and st. Andrew with the Irish harp In
its center. After the restoration,
Charles ii had the Irish harp removed,
restoring the original Union Jack.
The flag continued in that form un.
til 1901, when the white cross of st.
Patrick was incorporated. 1t was a
difficult thing to combine these three
crosses without losing the characteris-
tic features of each. The problem was
finally solved by making the white
broader on one side of the red than
the other. While this breaks the con.
tinuity of direction Of the arms of the
st. Patrick cross, 1t permits the Irish
