!" Q MANY times up in this North Woods
- in the summertime, you will hear the
O. expression: "You can't tell what's in
suit of clothes


- expression: "You can't tell what's in
suit of clothes
Now this expression to you means nothing;
to we people who have the 'know-how' it means
much and the best way to explain is to tell you
story we heard on the street some time ago.
A well-dressed stranger had stopped along
side several oddly dressed men and women who
were enjoying a very animated conversation
and almost blocking the concrete. His first
thought that they were "lumberjacks" or
guides or possibly just bunch of natives. He
was curious. He listened; the conversation was
that from educated people who were telling
stories and renewing acquaintance from year
ago; they were happy and carefree.
The stranger stepped up to me and asked:
who are those people? Are they natives or
just men and women from the farms or some
other village?"
To laugh just then would have insulted the
man and possibly staged fight, for he was a
dignifed fellow and was honestly curious and
wanted to satisfy his curiosity. When he was
told those men and women were from cities;
owned big summer homes in this lake region
and had money to burn and socially were 'tbig
folks" he simply looked at me and really
doubted my word. Even after being told their
names he still doubted until some wandering
individual came along, stopped and called
of the party by name.
Then this stranger believed, and here is the
expression he used: well, I'll be darned; you
can't tell what's in suit of clothes, can you?"
The is absolutely right Up in this
north country where nature smiles for miles
and miles and all her people do the same day
after day. no cares or worries but just bully
good outing time, you just can't wear good
clothes and be real fellow.
It's democracy pure and simple. That's what
has builded this lake region into real honest
to-goodness country where society and business
builds no barriers and where each and
woman, whether native outsider, becomes
close friends as long you good scout
and treat the other fellow as human being.
That's that
whats in suit Of clothes?" It's the man
in them who cares not for being
pointed out as worth so many millions or for
their social standing and good clothes. They
want to be real people and make friends with
us all and be one of us. That's democracy in
the truest sense-and when you find people
who come up here year after year such
have just told you about, you find doggone
good country and just good people.
It's real pleasure to live up here and not be
able to go down south in the winter. The
greeting cards and letters one receives during
the snowy months from summer friends
who are travelling or who stay in their city
homes, but shows that they take you at your
real value and remember you for what your
friendship is worth and not any "class" dis
tinction. And you can't get that if you leave
home and become tourist
AS the stranger said "You can't tell what's
in a suit of clothes up in the North Woods

Inc places, therefore, where earth
quakes can and probably will occur

and the times when they will occur
are becoming more and more possible

Tornadoes are less closely tied to
SPECIFIC regions Yet there arc
specific regions where the causative
conditions. which include directions
speed and temperatures of different
air-currents, occur more often than
elsewhere. And the regions are
being mapped. These conditions come
rather quickly into existence. but NOT
too quickly to be noted and warned
against.
So the persistent scientific students
of earthquakes and tornadoes are
already beginning to be able to tell
US not only about the causes of these
catastrophe happenings, but also
something about the ways to protect
ourselves from them. We cannot
find ways to prevent them, but we
can find ways to lessen the extent
of their injuries, both to our property
and our lives. Earthquake and tor
nado warnings are not at all i'm

l have lived through tornado that
wiped out part of a town, and through
an earthquake that, with the follow
ing fire, wiped out part of a great
city. Tornadoes and earthquakes are
appalling things know. During the
few minutes Of their happening there
is no place to go. no 1hing to do. Man
is helpless But between catastro-
phes something can be done.
To most Of US tornadoes and earth
quakes are inexplicable acts of Provi-
dence to be lamented and their re-
suits remedied to the degree possible.
But to the man of science they are
natural phenomena with ascertain
able causes, and perhaps, these causes
once ascertained, of possible foretell-
Ing. Also something can be- done to
guard against them.
Much progress has already been
made in determining their causes,
and little progress has been made
toward their prediction. Science will
not be content until ibis prediction
becomes precise. For that is the es-
sential goal of scientific study-to
be able to predict natural phenomena.
Earthquakes occur in two kinds of
places. First, where there are VOL
canoes. Volcanic earthquakes may be
violent, butt they usually affect but a
small area. Second, where there are
fault lines, or lines of crustal weak
ness and slipping. Earthquakes in
these places are often of very wide
extent. They may be slight or severe
in violence. .

Everyday Religion
Not Talk on Theology, But Upon Life and Right
Living.
BY RIGHT REV. JAMES E. FREEMAN d. d.
Bishop Of Washington.

GENTLY emphasized that which Christ
always emphasized. namely, that fol-
lowing Him necessarily involved sac
rtfice. AS matter of fact many, II
not most of us, have allocated a GER
tain restricted area of our life to
what we call our religious convic-
tions, or we confine the expression of
our faith to certain pious acts, or we
sequester it within walls of some sa-
cred building. 1t Is demonstrably
true that the ages that have been
signalized by the Church's greatest
advances have been those that were
marked by Christian heroism and
fortitude. The colorless and indif-
ferent periods where faith has Ian
guished have been inevitably those
where a convenient and unheroic ex-
preston of religious faith has char
acterized the Church's devotees.
Christianity began with sacrifice
the sacrifice of its Divine Founder. 1t
has only been dominant and persua-
sive where sacrifice has been one of
its outstanding characteristics. The
appeal to the heroic which inheres in
1t is indispensable to its continuing
power. 1t was this that made DON
aid Hankey declare that religion Is
betting ones life there is God"
The great figures in the Church 8
history, the men and women who
have constituted its focal points as
well as its greatest sources of in
spiratfon, have been those who have
literally accepted the challenge of
Christ and tried to follow where He
led the way. 1t is universally true
that 'the blood of the martyrs Is the
seed of the Church" Where faith has
waned and where the lights on the
altar have grown dim, some mighty
spirit, fired with high conservation
and burning zeal, has by a. life Of su-
preme sacrifice SO caught the imagi-
nation of Indifferent adherents that
he has provoked a reformation that

tinues on down through the long GEN.
turtles. Whether it be some Savanna
rola challenging profligate people,
or some Luther daring to stand be-
fore kings and rulers for justification
by faith, or some Ignatius Loyola
calling to men to follow a standard
that demanded sacrifice and exacting
service. each period where the great
est advances have been made has
recognized the demands which the
heroic Christ has laid upon it.
Our age has been marked by too
much softness, too much desire for
self-ease and little Of sacrifice. We
have satisfied ourselves with the
esthetics of religion. We have been
willing to heed its call so long as 1t
placed upon US nothing that inter
fered with our selfish pursuits. If a
world war could call our splendid
sons to the nations standard in de-
fense of home and country, what
ought the call of Him who died that
men might live mean to US today? 1t
was the heroic service of the youth
of England that made H. G.. Wells
say, Our sons have shown US God"
It is like expression of the heroic
that is needed today to capture the
worlds imagination as well as its
devotion to the heroic Christ

From Equal Rights Measure

makes haste more slowly.
Woman, by nature being the child
bearer, has had made for her many
measures designed to protect her
which would be nothing short of a
calamity to have abolished. Hl.
For example, the widows pension
laws which now obtain in AZ States,
also in Hawaii and Alaska, might be
wiped out in one sweep. fH
This law. one of the most benef1-
cent for women, that has taken years
and endless energy to produce, is
designed solely on the ground of in
equality of woman as against man.
1t distinctly sets forth that the aver
age woman cannot possibly foster
and finance her family when her hus-
band has been taken away from her
by death or entirely incapacitated---
that by the very nature of her being
a mother her burdens are such she
cannot be placed on a par with man
under such circumstances.
Also there are many measures in
which women during a considerable
period, such as preceding and after
maternity, are precluded from, work,
and in many States employees in such
cases are amenable to law.
