The work to be accomplished in thu. $
hour is a tTanscendent one. Pagan
idolotry can never be enthroned in
America. The effort to do this is be-
ing vigorously assailed by Christ, the
king of kings and Lord of lords.
The government was, is, and always
will be upon his shoulder. The
downfall of European autocracy,
which has striven to its utmost to
trail in the dust Americas spiritual
standard, Is becoming apparent.
Again we affirm, America was
founded upon spiritual ideals. Christ
at his second appearing, through his
representatives, has planted his stan
dard of spiritual domination on the
soil of the United States, and he is
ever present to defend it. The end

Joining this man in this offer was

CRAZY. STYLES.

CTYLES are always adjusted to the
national state of mind. And the
return to normally is shown by the
present exit Of jazz clothing designs.
So says Louis Rubin, secretary of
American Clothing Designers asso-
citation.
Louis, the national state of mind
has little to do with it. The change,
as always, is in the state of mind of
some designers and manufacturers.
The jazz styles, that are scheduled
to go into storage with mothballs,

rotic m2nta! condition among the
vast majority" of the American peo-
pie.
Freak styles come in cycles, pc
riodically, regardless of the national
state of mind. Fifteen years ago
was an era of horse-sense, without
jazz. Yet the lads of that day wore
the craziest clothes known to our
generation-4peg-top trousers, shoe

When it comes to clothing, the

We take what we get-what i;

BY AUGUSTA E. sTETsoN

EVERY American worthy of the
name, who is awake to the true
meaning and origin of the athem en-
titled "The Star-Spangled Banner"
will forever repudiate it, as an utter
~ unworthy medium for expressing
che of the noblest of sentiments
patriotism and love for Jul glorious
country. TIE spiritual ideals upon
1hich this nation was based, through
lis discova'er, the Norscman Left
Ericsson, in the year 1000; through its
founder, George Washington, in
1776, and through its presever,
Abraham Lincoln, in 1S65-these
spiritual ideals can never be voiced
through song whose music was not
written by an American, but was
borrowed from a ribald, sensual
drinking song "Anacreon in Heaven"
and whose words express vicious ha-
tired Of our natural brother and An
glo-Saxcn comrade, Britain.
Never has Congress, ard never will
Congress, legalize an anthem which
sprang from the lowest qualities of
human sentiment. God forbids it.
Americans today are awaking to the
evil influence exerted upon their
children, as we'll as upon themselves,
by "The Star Spangled Banner" a
poem born of intense hatred of Great
Britain and welded to barroom bal
lad composed by a foreigner. For
example, consider the sentiments ex-
pressed by the third verse:
"And where is that band who so
vauntingly swore
That the havoc of war and the bat
ties confusion
A home and country should leave
US no more?
Their blood has washed out their foul
footsteps pollution;
No refuge could save
The hireling and slave
From the terror of flight or tae
gloom of the grave"
Do these phrases fittingly express
the spirit of America, the nation tc
whom the longing world looks today
for moral and spiritual leadership
with Christ at the head? Shall we
shout, in violent, unsingable cad
enees, of ''the rockets red glare, the
bombs bursting in air." and refer to-
day to our democratic partner in
Anglo-Saxondom, -Great Britain, =
as ''the foes naughty host" which Sin
dread silence reposes?" Shall that
"carnal mind which st. Paul de-
clared was "enmity against Cod" and
which has ever opposed the progress
of enlightenment and truth, be longer
allowed to express its qualities of
hate, sensuality, and bloody violence,
through "The Star Spangled Ban
ner?" Shall such seeds be planted in
the budding minds of America s
school children? God forbid!
The spirit of America is not suita-
bly, expressed by hatred, nor by the
horrors of war, which all nations to-
day are praying may be abolished.
Americas national anthem, which
should be composed, as we'll as writ
ten by Americans, should express the
same noble animus as that which
Washington voiced when he said.
Let US raise standard, to which
the wise and honest can repair; the
event is in the hands of Cod" and by
Lincoln, when he uttered the high re
solve that "this nation, under God,
shall have new birth of freedom
and that government of the people
