CEATTLE churches have set aside Sun
~ day, October IL. as "Church Rally
Day" They invite everyone to attend
church on that day.
It's good idea for our churches TO
thus take stock of the population occasion
ally, and TO count noses of their flocks.
For it's truly an easy matter, especially
ms colder weather draws near, TO lie abed
ON Sunday mornings while the church bells
are ringing. And il is only by such
checkup that the indolent ones are put
back in the pews.
Too many of us are inclined to view the
churches with patronizing air of well.
it may be good for the other fellow, but
i don't need it"
Nevertheless, churchlesS country would
be n sorry one, both for the man who is
a church-goer and the man who is not.
For the uplifting qualities of religious
belief are a necessity in making life what
it is.
Last Sunday morning more than mil
lion and a half American men and women
got up and walked anywhere from few
blocks to several miles to a church in
order to teach Sunday school classes. They
didn't do it for financial gain or for per-
sonal glory. They did it because they had
the desire in their hearts to help improve
their fellow men,
During the war We thought we had
done big job wen we raised 100000
600 for the Red Cross. We did. But last
year the churches of America raised $780,
100000 for spreading the Gospel
A million and a half teachers.
Five hundred millions for expenses.
The church is big institution as well
as humane one.
Who are YOU to speak. patronizingly
of it?
Come to church on Rally Day. October

FRYING IN HOT GREASE

CPEAKING of being on n hot griddle.
- there's the California lawyer who is
performing as head of our navy, Secre-
tary Wilbur.
Mr. Wilbur felt real good with himself
as large part of the skilled navy man
agement, because of the popular acclaim
upon his prompt promotion of Command
er Rodgers as assistant chief of aero
nautics.
Just as promptly, and without asking
the consent of the Washington bureau
Gratis, Commander Rodgers takes his
stand by Colonel Mitchell in demanding
an air board
To denote Rodgers would be too ridicu-
lous and, probably, bring on general
riot. But, what is poor secretary to do,
when one Of his most popular appointees
goes to delivering honest opinion on naval
policies, without asking anybody's per-
mission?

The large manufacturers have
been able 10 make price reduc-

attendant on quantity production.
The same companies have been
able 20 sell popular models At
two-thirds the price OF models
for which only a limited demand

made IN a highly speeded-up

labor and overhead shrink very

No such advantages are en-
joyed by the manufacturer who

not attain the same efficiency
and resultant low production
costs Consequently his market
Is slipping away. Fifteen years

there are 10. or this years pro

Outside the factory the big
manufacturers enjoy still other
advantages They can maintain

WHY THEY CUT LOOSE

L temperamental, sentimental, often Civ
ing way to mere emotion. regardless of
serious consequences, but there are also
Americans.
Commander Rodgers and the rescued
crew of the PN-9 No. / reach San Fran
cisco. Uncountable thousands pack the
streets to yell. throw hats and bonnets
into the air and make mere noise on
every instrument known TO man and on
some never heretofore known. Women
grab the first stranger woman within
reach and hug and weep and laugh hys-
terically Hundreds of business men kiss
and cry upon each others necks. The
mayor publicly hugs the whole crew, in
the city hall.
Rodgers and crew, being all alive and
in splendid condition and looking upon
: their experiences and doings as natural
in performance of ordinary duty, grow
much paler, with establishment and en-.
barrassment, than they were when the
sharks swan round and round them with
greedy eyes.
Had Floyd Collins been rescued from
that Kentucky cave. he would have re-
ceived a quite similar reception in every
city that he visited.
The fellow who accepts the odds and
wins close fight with death is hero in
the hearts of the masses. Mighty, awful
is the crowd. when moved by strong feel
ings. In hatred, IL will calmly see hui
man being burned alive. In sympathy
it will kiss thru tears Of JOY and throw
It's clothes upon the street as carpet for
the feet of those whom II worships.
