NEW, PROFESSION
Students Are Graduated As COmme
 cial Organization Experts

Students Are Graduated As Commer
 cial Organization Experts
 A new profession in business is being created in which the Merchants asso- citation of New York is one of the fac tors. The profession is that of com mercial Organiza tion experts.
 In July s. c. Mead, secretary, and Hugh Lynch, assistant secretary, spent two weeks as instructors at the National School for Commercial and Trade Ex- ecutives at Northwestern university, Evanston, Ill. The courses are of a practical nature and "are aimed to. de velop along the most approved lines the work of secretaries from small com munities. as we'll as that of those from large cities Xhe school is conducted under the auspices of the Chamber of Commerce of the United States, the National Association of Commercial Or ganization Secretaries and the National Trade Association Executive Organiza- tion, in cooperation with the North western university. MT. Mead is one of the board of managers.
 "The national school" said Mir. Lynch, twas established in 1921, and quite a number of the students will complete this year their three-year, r, course of study and will be given di- plomas for proficiency in commercial operations the first time anything of the kind has been done in the country"
 Other countries prepare men for the diplomatic service and train them in business as~well, and the commercial and trade organizations of this country deemed that the time was ripe to train to the greatest degree of efficiency heads of their nizations-chamber of commerce, merchants associations and kindred associa tions. While MT. Mead and I represented the Merchants association among the instructors, there were also in like capacities from New York, Alfred l.. Smith. manager of the Music Industries Chamber of Commerce of New York, and A. B. Towne, secre- tary of the New York Building congress. Both were Instructors in trade organiza- tion, from which one gets an idea of the scope of the school.
 "To show the esteem in which the school Is held, the average attendance of students for the last three years has been 250. They have been grounded in all fundamental, technical and essential subjects with which commercial and trade organizations have to wrestle, and the graduates will be trained executive heads. Their diplomas will be issued at the first convention of the Chamber of Commerce of the United States, to be held in its own building in Washington in October, and will be the first certifi- cates of proficiency in commercial ep- erations. Students have had the advan- tage of receiving instructions from men of national prominence in commerce and industry, community welfare work, edu- cation and marketing and university professors.

 To learn what hardly credible living things may come from the reefs and atolls, it is better go to to the fish market in the early morning. That the fisherman dare to handle such subjects is surprising. Often enough one would as soon fool with the unknown mech- anism Of a bomb. >Esen the fishermen occasionally wish they. had let the thing go, for Some of the. spines, gill covers and skins are venomouss as an addler,s fangs :; and the sea aserpents, those brightly colored ribbons common enough among the waves, and all as deadly as cobras, cause a surprising number of deaths to those whose busi- ness is with fish nets and traps.
 One morning in Macassar's fish mar ket there was a man who seemed to have supposed that the fish he had caught were too awful or too big to allow him to bring in more than the head, as a trophy. He showed me that head. It was, asyb big and heavy as a mastiffs, with the same expression of sullen interest ands ready hostility, but with larger teeth.
 ! There were cuttlefish that day look ing like opalescent lamps in which the light was hardly yet extinct; crabs which might have been an astrologer's ma ginative effort at Cancer, and the

USES FISH AS COIN.
Newfoundland Finds Dried Cod Con
 venient Medium of Exchange.

-
 Fish in Newfoundland means cod and nothing else. Rod and fly work is called "trouting." Fish are used as coin on the west coast, one dried cod being considered worth a cent or a half penny and a large lobster is valued at a penny. Communication in the winter is so difficult that in the spring the missionary who visits the northwest coast find wholesale christenings and marriages awaiting him. A hunter who has lost his bearings or finds himself in fog has no difficulty in finding his way, as owing to the constant west winds the tops of all the trees point east. This fact renders a compass un- necessary. In the cod-fishing season acres of ground are covered with the drying fish placed head to tail so that scarcely an inch of ground remains. un- covered. All these fish must be stack ed by nightfall in a heap much like small haystacks.
 Many queer superstitions exist with regard to diseases and remedies. Until recent years people avoid11 entering a hospital as they would the plague it. self, Similarly they would only have recourse to medical aid after every other remedy. had failed. Old women were in great demand to charm. away the toothache. For diphtheria herring was often applied to the outside of the throat; favorite remedy for the ear ache was to wear the wool from black lamb in the ears; dry mustard in a flannel bag was supposed to prevent chest trouble; and people have been known to swallow small leaden shot to overcome lung disorders. Another curious superstition was the fisher mems dread of banks, as a result of which 31z million dollars worth of gold brought into the Colony during the past thirty years by Canadian banks doing business in Newfoundland has disap- peared, having been taken out by the fisherfolk and put into private hoards to be kept and used as occasion arises: Letter to the London Times.

The Choice of the Twelve Matthew 1O:1-S

1. And he called unto him his twelve disciples, and gave them au- thority over unclean spirits, to cast out and to heal all manner. of dis ease and all manner of sickness.
 2. Now the names of the twelve apostles are these: The first, Si- mon. who is called Peter, and An drew his brother; James the son of Zebedee. and John, his brother.
 3. 1 Philip. and Bartholomew {; Thomas, and Matthew the publican i; James the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus;
 3. Simon the Cananaean, and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed him. E
 5. These twelve Jesus sent forth, and charged them, saying, Go not into any way of the Gentiles, and enter not into any city of the Sa- maritans: &
 6, But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
 :. And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand.
 8. Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the lepers, cast out demons: freely ye received, freely give.

twelve were: Peter, Andrew. James, John, Philip, Nathanael, Thomas, Mat thew, James, Thaddeus, Simon and Judas.
 Scholars have commiserated over the fact that there is not complete biog- raphy of each of these. Maybe such life histories would have tended to ob- scure the greater light of the real life, that of the Master.
 These are the men whom other schol- ars have held up to scorn. They have been called the poor, ignorant. weak, pucilanim6us men whom it pleased the master to commission for the purpose of propagating his philosophy of life, and the principle upon which his king dom should be founded. There is nothing new about that attitude. There were many living in the same day and generation when these twelve were selected, who felt the same way about | it.
 In that day the constituted author ity of the government itself, was against the twelve and their mission. More important still, the twelve and their mission were against them.
 The variety to be found distinguish ing this dozen men is striking. How different Peter and John were in tenn perment. Peter was a man of action 1; John was man of meditation. Peter was bold and impulsive; John was quiet and cOntemplative.
 How different were Nathanael and Thomas in the measure of spirit held by them. Nathanael was rich in con fidence; Thomas seemed to be a skeptic by nature. Thomas could not believe until he could put his fingers into the prints of the nails.
 They even differed in political com plexion. There was Matthew, tax col lector, whom the Roman subjects of every province hated. Matthew and men of his vocation were called Pub

Today's Bible Talk
By George Lescis B0iles

EDITORS NOTE-The Age-Heraid has arranged with Mfr. Bailes, of the Birming ham bar and teacher of the Cosmopolitan Men'5s class of the First Baptist church at the Strand theater. to prepare a short Bible talk each Sunday. These talks are based upon the passages of Scripture se- lected by the International Sunday school lesson committee for the current series flessons. Each Bible talk uses the Scripture from which the Sunday school lesson will be taken the following Suh- day.
 One evening during the summer of the second year of his ministry, there on little mountain near the western coast of the Sea of Galilee, Jesus took occasion to select from all his follow CTS 'the twelve'-Himself Gallilean, he chose these men from the provinces of Galilee. Himself poor man, he selected them from among the poor. Himself simple man, but of divine simplicity, he called simple men.

l"Fombombo" is being dramatlsed by an English writer for the Legitimate stage. John V. A. Weaver is not so com pletely weaned from his native North Carolina as we had thought, though he does write us a letter from Stamford, Conn.,. full of enthusiasm for his adopted residence and the interesting group of writers nearby. Hendrick Van Loon, Louis Joseph Vance, Haywood Broun, Deems Taylor-a1l within five miles of Stamford. And yet he ended with a comment that the weather was "so deyastingly hot and rainiess that I shall beyond any doubt dash away to the North Carolina mountains tofinish this darned rewriting of the play. It takes the south to furnish pleasant weather! 7 We have, from time to time, heard rumors of novel, "The Milk White Steed,' on which Weaver is working. Tt looks as though it might be finished some time about 1934," he says.
 That Hervey Allen Is gone, but not forgotten by his friends in South Caro- l lima, is indicated by the fact that one l of them has been speaking enthusiastic ally to us of Aliens new book of poems mot yet we believe. announced by publisher-to be called Earth Moods" ]" Tt is," we are told, the most sustain ed volume of highly imaginative verse the past ten years has seen from the younger American poets" Followers of Melville Daviseon Post will want to know of the new detective novel just published by the Appletons-- Walker of the Secret Service" The story deals with the career of train robber who later becomes a master de- tective and employs his knowledge of crime for the benfit of the government service. "Superbly dramatic and baffling episodes'' is the characteriza- tion of the volume which the publishers give. Scribner's have published new novel by Thomas Boyd, story of America in the days of the underground rail way and with a setting along the Mis- sissippi. The Dark Cloud is the name.
