| SAYINGS OF
MRS. SOLOMON
BY Helen Rowland

WHEREFoRE. my Daughter.
W doth man seek to master q
Memory Course?
For 10, what Is so docile, what
is so discreet, what is so perfectly
trained as a mans memory?
Behold. it viii sleep peacefully.
as q good dog, through an hun
dred important duties but, it never
faiIeth to remind him OF an un-
important pleasure.
Yea. verify, a man can forget
anything on earth that annoyeth
him, embarrasseth him, boreth
him, discomforteth him or doth
not amuse him!
Lo, he viii forget to mail his
wife's letter-and remember to
walk four blocks out Of his way
to purchase a new set Of golf
balls.
He will forget his wedding an
niversary-but never the opening
date of the baseball season!
He will forget a dull dinner en-
gagement-but never the date set
for a lively poker-game.
-
He will forget to wear his
rubbers and to take his medicine
and remember the exact mo.
ment at which he promised to call
up his bootlegger.
He will forget the color or his
wife's eyes-and remember the
precise shade of his manicurfsts
Titan hair.
He may forget to pay his tailor's
biIl--but never the day when a
check is due him.
He may forget to call up MS
fiancee--but no rush OF business
can make him forget to telephone
the NEW damsel, whom he met
the night before last.
He may forget his wedding vows
and the promises of his courtship
but not his promise to meet
the boys" at the Country Cluo
for a round of golf!
Go to. So long as a man is In
love, he forgetteth everything else
save the WOMAN---but, when his
ardour hath cooled, he forgetteth
the woman for everything else!
Alas, woman's memory is q
thorn in the side, which torment
eth her and will not let her rest.
But, mans memory Is faith
full servant, which doeth his bid
ding, and remindeth him only OF
that which he WANTETH to
remember!

doubtless prides himself on his
LOYALTY and patriotism. Yet I
insist that this sort OF query, and
the viewpoint 1t expresses. is
emotional mud. and a disgrace
to any nation.
Dear Miss Robinson:
/ am a regular reader OF your
writings. Please answer through
your column this question How
MANY Catholic Churches in the
United States display the Amer
lean flag2 A. a. A.
do not know how many Cath
olic Churches display the Amer
loan flag. Nor do know how
MANY Protestant or Jewish or
Christian Science or Buddhist
churches in the country display
the American flag.
Nor do I think it matters two
boots whether they display the
American flag.
In fact I would consider such
a display improper in any
church.
A Church is not an American
house.
A Church is Gods house.
It is not for American people.
IT is for all people and under that
roof there should be no dlstnc-
ton made as to color or creed.
Gods love is. universal.
The service of God is greater

at least live up to the limit q
our own capacity.
since we must still cling 70
tribal boundaries and feelings, we
might at least make our patriot
ism as noble and intelligent
thing as possible.
The kind Of patriotism that
would insist on American Iiags
in churches, and start religious
prejudice because they arent
there, Is neither noble nor intel
ligent. -
Ii sacreligiOus. It makes us
contemplate in the eyes OF God
and man.
It's brazen enough for US to
insist that Americans are the
choicest human product on earth,
regardless OF the merits OF other
races. It's sad enough to clutter
our schools, our homes and our
government with our racial
squabblings. our bigotry ana
conceit.
But when we insist on using
Gods altar for political prOpa-
ganda, the thing becomes an
abomination which every in
telligent American should resent.
God is not Red. White and Blue.
The fire on His altar burns tor
every man.
His cross is greeter than any.

respect, viz. in showing that in.
sects are killed by the pint.
On this point he generalizes as
follows: "One pint is / believe a
fair estimate of the quantity Of
insects killed by car Of average
size in travelling two thousand
miles. Larger cars. travelling at
a higher rate of speed, would kill
many more, while smaller cars
would run correspondfngly under
this amount"
Professor Dill has killed his
pint in 2,000-mile run, and thus
is able to show an experimental
basis for his figures. But, would
LnaL II were quarts, or gallons, or
bushels, instead Of only pints!
But when he makes q broader
generalization. and frames an
estimate on the quantity killed
by all the eighteen million cars
now in use in the United States.
the figures become more formid.
able and so more satisfactory.
The combined bag for the whole
eighteen million, and for two
thousand miles run each, would
form column thirty feet
square and as high as the Wool
worth building"
Insect Population
However, there is another side
to the medal, which gives an
appalling idea OF the monstrous
insect population of this country.
The path of destruction of an
automobile is say six feet wide
and six feet deep, long narrow
hole through the air, which would
not appear as broad as a spiders
line on a map, and in this little
space, with nothing special to at.
tract them there, so many insects
are flying in summer weather.
