CAN BUSINESS MANAGE
THE WORLD!

edward S. Martin in Harpers)
There is no objection to business
managing the world If it is the best
force to do it, but it cannot do it
successfully except as it is spirit
ualized
Is it becoming spiritualized?
Perhaps it is. Sometimes it seems
so. When we talk today
about business we are talking
about something different than
was covered by the same word
thirty, or twenty, or even ten years
ago. s.
The war was not in vain. The
world is becoming spiritualized.
Business shows it. Science shows
it. Education and the churches
arc aware of their great need of it.
All the great departments Of hu
man activity are working nova
days to save the world. If they
can be sufficiently spiritualize,'
they can do it.
The leadership among them will
go where the capacity for that
leadership exists and minor faults
and imperfections will not hinder
it,
If business has that capacity in
the great degree, let it go to busi
ness. 1t is no time to be SCARED
by names. But if business is tc
manage the world it must be bia
business; very big. indeeC-com

"Well-it would be bit incon-

married Saturday. ~
Unlike C. Bacon Slemp whom he
succeeds as aid to the president,
Sanders is lacking in that ,indefin-

BY contrast with the tall, swarthy,
suave Slemp, he seems unimpressive

to his skin that suggests his big
body would be benefited by an Sat-

face, too, suggest that it is his will
power, his determination, rather than
his personal preference, which holds
him behind the big flat-topped ma

the presidents.

me come back to the office last night
after dinner except that l thought
possibly there might be a telegram
for somebody telling me about Les

You can imagine my surprise when
I found the two enclosures which l
am sending you. There was no time
to waste.

big until my friend the detective
threatened to put him under arrest,
and 1 convinced the boy that the
woman had lied to him, that her life
was not in danger, that her husband
was still in the state prison. Then
he went to pieces, Mr.. Prescott, and
was just heart-broken boy whose

whose trust was forever shattered.
The wonderful sacrifice that he
thought he was making had resolved
itself just into sordid theft. His

ruined.

TRUE REPENTANCE

TRUE REPENTANCE
In a lonely forest,
Far away from home,
A little girl sought Jesus
That she might no longer roam.
She had wandered far away
From her mothers teachings,
And her life grew miserable
And her poor heart aching.
She had ceased to kneel
To the Great Father above.
She enjoyed the pleasures here
And had forgotten Jesus and His
love.
Out in the lonely forest
She kne!t and prayed aloud,
That dear God would save her
And remove the dark, bleak cloud.
God heard her little prayer
And spread His great arms wide,
To receive this little soul
That had wandered from His side.
Oh the, joy, that she experienced
When received by Him,
How she hurried to tell mother
And spread the news to men.
If you have never sought Jesus,
Seek Him, now to day;
In your private closet
You must kneel. and pray.
Ask the Lord to take you
And help you walk Alright.
He will lead you gently
And always in the light.

Washington, Feb. 16.-Fitting ad-
ministration, shoes to congressional
feet. That, figuratively, is the
really important job Everitt Sanders
of Indiana must undertake in his
new position as secretary to the
president.
His eight years. service in the
House has enabled him to gauge
rather accurately the size and shape
of congressional understandings"
If Sanders isn't able to "sell the
Coolidge line" built on common
sense" soles and with Puritan vamps,
then he's lost the knack Of sales
manship he acquired, as shoe sales
man back in Terre Haute and Bloom
ington, Ind.
If he "sells" the line, then Con-
gress will march comfortably along
with the president for the next two
or. four years.
If he doesn't, then there'll be a lot
OF limping, much pain and anguish,
| and many gaps in the ranks where
stragglers with misfits have dropped
out of line.
Sanders, like Coolidge, is a serious
sort. Son of an underpaid Hoosie:
minister, he had to make his own
way through normal school and col
lege. -
While clerking in Terre Haute
! store, the year before he entered
college, he intimsted to the pro-
prietor one evening that he'd like to
take the next Saturday off.

day." his employer answered. "H's

ADVENTURE OF
THE TWINS
BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON

Chirp Chipmunk and his wife, and
Peg Leg, the peddler, and Nancy and
Nick, the Twins, all hurried back to
the dining room.
Mrs. Chipmunk reached up on the
mantel shelf and took down the old
tea pot and taking off the lid, held
the tea pot under her husbands
nose.
"See!" she cried. "The moneys
gone, and who else could have taken
| it but you?"
Honest to goodness, l didn't
Clorinda," said Chirk. "That money
was for rainy day, and although it
| looked like rain today | never touch
ed it. Someone else took it,"
But you have lot of money"
said Mrs. Chipmunk. "How could
you buy me birthday present if
you hadn't?'
81 went out and earned it, said
! Chirk. Honest to goodness did.
That's why l didn't do the lunch
dishes. When the peddler and the
Twins came, l thought, 'Now's my
chance to get out and earn a little
money without Clorinda knowing it
and surprise her,"
well, Pm sorry l was so hasty,"
said Mrs. Chipmunk forgivingly.
But did get such turn when l
found the money gone, couldn't
quite get over it,"
"But who took the money!" said
Nancy.
"That's. it! Who?" repeated Mrs.
Chipmunk. Someone saw Chirk go
out and knew would be busy look
ing at Mister Peg Legs bargains,
and they've slipped in the back door
and out again. Who could 1T have
been?"
1t was a great mystery.
"HOw did you earn your money,
Chirk?" asked Mrs. Chipmunk, kind
ly, for after all the little chipmunk
lady was pleased that her husband
had remembered her birthday.
ut was this way" said Mister
Chipmunk. "Old Daddy Cracknuts
lost some of his nuts down a little
hole in the tree where he lives.
Mrs. Cracknuts and the boys were
away and Daddy is too fat to get in
t. places where he used to be able
to go, so he asked he to help him
get the nuts out. He said he'd give
me half dollar if I'd go. That's
where I've BEEN"
Suddenly Chirk stopped. "I've got
it. l bet, you l know who stole our
money. AS | was passing Mister
Bags store on the way home, l saw
Frisky Ferret buying about thou
sand dollars worth Of candy"
"And ne never worked day in his
lifc!" cried Mrs. Chipmunk. "That's
exactly who it was. Come on, every
body. Wen 60 and, find him."
So off to Mister. Bags store they
all went, Peg Leg coming last with
his pack.
And there was FIisky Ferret at
the candy counter, his pockets stick
ing ont like balloons with all the
candy he'd bought.
He was just handing the money
over the counter when in they
marched.
That's my money!" cried Chirk
Ckipmunk suddenly. ~
10 With one leap Frisky was over
their heads and gone.
B:,t the Chipmunks got. their
money and Chirk bought his wife a
pink polka-d0s sun-bonnet to wear
when she hung out the washing.
From Peg Leg, Of course! And
Mister Bags didn't care bit.

= -----FABLES ON HEALTH-
GET COMPETENT ADVICE

Do not take the advice of a
neighbor on how to care for the
baby, Mrs. Jones was told. For what

be good for another.
1t is hoped that the baby will be
breast-fed, but if by any chance this
is impossible, a doctor, or a baby
health clinic is the only safe place
for advice.
Sometimes it is hard tSaeach a

old enough to take food other than
milk, but the child should not be
permitted to grow finicky about, this
food.

on.
Mother-loye is far-reaching. Vt
should be farseeing, and be willing
to insist on some unpleasantness
now for the sake of the future hap
piness of the child.
New foods should be introduced
into the diet slowly. The child's
stomach is no more prepared to di-
gest heavy foods than his muscles
are prepared to do the heavy work
'of a man.
Therefore be careful of such heavy
foods as dried potatoes, doughnuts,

pastry and cake, even after the child
