was then introduced. Nj. Olsen took
as his subject THE Opulence AMI
Poverty of Education"
He said that the two great gifts
of education were civilization AMI re-
ligion. In the latter case he meant
religion free Of creeds, with Jesus
Christ in the background as a guide.
Education marks the stages from
barbarism to cultured society such
as we now have and which is p,ac-
tically sane and safe.
The opulance Of education ne said
is manifest in the manner in which
we have built up a treasure Of asso-
citation and harmony between the in
dividuals. This has eliminated the
small things of life and has raised
US to higher plane of civilization.
Education works to discover, de-
velop. deliver and make divine. those
forces which would otherwise be
yalueless.
We say that education costs mu' h
but the speaker asked that we think
how much it saves. He said that the
generations of tomorrow will be en-
riched to great extent by the expen-
ditures of today.
The poverty Of education he said
lies in the incompleteness of the ca
pacity Of the pupil, the incomplete
ness of the equipment. the limita-
tons OF the teaching staff and the in
completeness of the school term.
He said that the equipment which

Coast Guard
Prepares For
Winter Perils

New York, Dec S.-More than 5000
officers and men Of the United States
Coast Guard, assignd to some 210
stations distributed along the coast
from Maine to Alaska, have their sea
boots and oilskins out this week for
the beginning of the annual cruising
season, which is ordered each year
by the President of the United States.
During the cruising season, which
lasts until April 1, upwards Of 100
sturdy, sea-going steel vessels,
equipped to render any kind of aid
to ships in distress, will be ready to
depart from their stations on a mo-
ment's notice for any point where
danger turks.
Due to the widespread use Of wire
less on hips of all classes, the last
few years have seen radical changes
In the Coast Guard cruising program
through the severe winter season.
Formerly it was the custom to send
cutters out on patrol duty for five
months, allowing them to make port
only to replenish fuel and food sup
plies.
Now. however, the improved and
have eliminated much of the unnec-
essary cruising, and rendered the
Coast Guard cutters more efficient
when in constant touch with their
shore stations. During the stormy
season, all leaves are suspended,
capacity stock Of fuel and food is
aboard, and all lifesaving equipment
is ready for instant use.
The 270 stations along the 10000
miles of American coast also take on
new life in the winter months. The
personnel is brought up to a maxi
mum; several hours are devoted to
drill each day, and the beach patrol
is augmented.
A report of the Coast Guards ac-
tivities for 1921 shows that there
were but two days during the year
which did not bring a call for assist
ance from some quarter. One day 81
calls We're answered.
The duties of the Coast Guard are
many and varied. Its most import
ant work, however, consists Of rem
dering to vessels in distress, and TAX
ing off the passengers and crews
where necessary; destroying or re-
moving darelicts and other dangers
to navigations: enforcing the laws re-
lating to quarantine and neutrality;
extending medical aid to American
vessels engaged in deep-sea fishing;
suppression of mutinies on merchant
vessels: protection of game and the
seal and other fisheries III Alaska;
and operating as a part of the navy
in time of war.

Not too expensive

Although Palmolive is the finest, mildest
facial soap that can be produced, the price
is net too high to permit general use on
the washstand for bathing.
This moderate price is due to popu-
larity, to the enormous demand which
keeps the Palmolive factories working day
and night and necessitates the importation
of the costly oils in vast quantity.
Thus soap which would cost at least rs
cents cake il made in small quantities is
offered for only 10 cents, a price all can
afford The old-tirne luxury of the few
may now be enjoyed the world over.
