Lord Acton declared that If all the
first-class minds of the world could
be convened under one roof the as
sembly would contain many Of the
greatest rascals of history. We look
with envy on the Augustan, Eliza
bethan or Revolutionary eras because
we do not perceive that their COM
manding figures were made 50 by
their lowly surroundings as we'll as
by their personal elevation.
OF course, unique gifts always
should be welcomed and, indeed, they
will be by an enlightened commonalty
which understands that leaders are
both born and made. But one cannot
conceive of Washington apart from
the movement for independence. or of
Lincoln apart from our struggle for
national solidity, nor of Lee apart
from the armies which followed him
for four years. These leaders are in
separable from the emergencies which
evoked their achievements. 1t is i'm.
possible for every hill to be Mount
Mckinley, but the strata beneath them
all sustain the Hottest peaks and their
commissions thrust them into the sky.
The cry for leaders might we'll be
set to different key. Think of your
self and of the mass of your fellow
men and women as the underpinning
of those great spirits4 From the people
at large spring the attitudes of char
acter and deed which history empha-
sizes. The life of the nation as a
whole flowers and bears fruit in its
great personalities. They are not
rained out of heaven, they grow here
on earth. God may anoint His proph-
cts, but we first have to beget them.
Encourage the plain folk of every sort
and we shall not want for leaders to
show us the way.
Cincinnati Ohio.
Some years ago I read Bishop
Buffers Analogy and found it
raised as many doubts as it solved.
Wherein lies it's merits as book?
Answer-This work silenced the
eighteenth century Deists. who are
frequently quoted to-day because some
distinguished Americans of that period
favored their reasonings.
It's authors object was not to re-
move all doubts and difficulties inner
ent in religion. a manifeStly impossible
task. but to show that the acceptance
of God as revealed in the Bible was
more practical and beneficial than re-
lection of Him.
This object Bishop Butler trium-
phantly attained. He also defeated
the ragged regiment" of Deists who
opposed him. He did not pass beyond
the probabilities of the Christian faith
to it's experimental certitudes. But he
prepared the way for those who did.
Had not Butler reasoned SO nightly
Whitfield and the Wesleys could not
have evangelical the masses. They
marched to his music.

What I Tomorrow Means to You
By ROBERT CULLEN
BY MARY BLAKE.

Tomorrow's planetary aspects are
of such a nature as to encourage
| optimism and fearlessness, and the
| signs denote ultimate success for all
| those who take advantage of the
| favorable conditions in order to
| launch any new undertaking or en-.
gage in any fresh enterprise. Risky
| and speculative operations should be
eschewed as these are doomed to fail
| ure. Toward the latter part of the
afternoon there will be sensed some
| influences not conducive to harmony
and at this time it would be wise to
| seek relaxation from concentrated
effort and to center your attention
more on reviewing what has been
done than on actual accomplishment.
It Is propitious occasion for travel.
Children born tomorrow will. during
infancy, enjoy normal health, and
their physical development will in no
way be affected by the few minor all
ments from which they may suffer.
During the adolescent stage, however.
they will experience illness that will
demand much care and attention. The
signs denote that they will attain a
healthy adulthood. In disposition
they will be vivacious, alert and full
of pep" They will show a marked
preference for outdoor sports and
pastimes and will always chafe under
restraint. They will learn more by
observation than by study. In order
to get the best out of these children
1t would be advisable to allow them to
steer clear of any work of a sedentary
nature.
If tomorrow is your birthday, you
are extremely modest and retiring
| too much so. in fact, for your material
| welfare. You object to all that Is
blatant or ostentatious, and quite
| wisely so, too. If. on the otter hand.
you were more self-assertive and not
so content Ito hide your light under
| a bushel," you could easily achieve a
greater degree of success than that
| which has. up to the present. attended
your efforts. Your temperament is a
| judicial one, and, unlike most people.
| you can always appreciate the fact
that everything has two sides to it
even though the other side may be
violently contrary to your own opin-
ion. You are charitable and kind and
always willing to concede to an
offender the benefit of the doubt.
| You lack concentration. and are
| rather disposed to leave a task unfin-
| ished in order to tackle another one
| You are reserved and cautious. and do
not have many congenlal friends. as
your inherent timidity repels rather
| than attracts. You are very affection
ate. but undemonstrative.
Well known persons born on that
date are-Sidney Edgerton, Congress-
man and governor; George W. War
rem, organist-composer Peter Collier.

Baby's Motor Comfort.

You can't enjoy motoring when
there's a restless baby demanding
YOUR attention, and If your baby's
restless it is proba bly, because he's un-
comfortable. Ingenious travelling
cribs are solving the problem Of what
to do with the child on the trip.
For long trips. one Of the most
practical cribs consists of a re
Enforced canvas receptacle shaped
somewhat like a bathtub. 1t is
fioated over four single springs on a
steel frame. One end of the frame
fits into the space between the seat
and back cushions, while the other
end rests on the floor extending to the
door.
This is the right sort of a crib
for you If you are going to travel
over rough country roads. 1t enables
the baby to sleep riding in a forward
direction, and at the same time pro-
vides plenty of room for two more
persons to ride in the tonneau.
Anther excellent crib. which Ia a
trif1e more elaborate. Is attached to
the back Of the front seat The crib
rests on a frame which places the
weight on a single pedestal. A spiral
spring absorbs the bumps and shocks.
The upper part of the crib is attached
to the blanket rail SO that it will
sway with the movement of the car
and exert pressure in both directions.
This keeps the crib on a fairly even
keel on smooth or rough roads.
Some housewives have bought
folding baby carriages to solve a dual
purpose. They may be wheeled. or
they may be rugged as cribs. They
may be strapped just behind the front
seat. 1t it is windy, light weight Ian
robe may be placed over the top of the
carriage.
These solutions are all practical for
ba bies not old enough to sit up. but
older children can't be expected to re.
main still for hours at time. A So
luton for babies Of this age consists

Knoxville, Tenn.
Do you believe that war has ever
been an agent Of good? If so, please
give an instance.
Answer repeat what I have said
before in this column, that war Is an
instrument of good when it redeems a
state of things worse than itself.
This verdict holds despite the fact
that the large majority of wars have
been futile and ferocious.
Conflicts which secured freedom of
thought and of lawful political action
are not to be arraigned with those in
spired by motives of greed, aggression
and conquest. I should list under
those of the former kind the wars for
Swiss independence, for the liberty of
the Low Provinces, and for our own
independence.
But the real gravity of war is in.
volved in its future. The World War
left victors and vanquished near col
lapse and showed that war has lost
nearly all compensatory values. These
are limited to the necessary defense of
ones home and country, which an en-
lightened patriotism upholds.
Philadelphia. Pa.
Everywhere the cry in commercial,
social and religious affairs is for
leaders. Are leaders born or made, or
both born and made?
Answer-There is no scarcity of
commercial and social leadership in
the United tates, whatever may be the
case elsewhere. Other nations point
to our railroads. banks. inventive. in
dustrial and social enterprises as sin
gularly efficient. Nor is 1t small
thing to have elevated the economic
conditions of 100000 people to an
unprecedented level Of comfort and op-
portunity.
While achieving this distinction. the
cultural and religious agencies OF the
Republic have been enlarged on every
side. Do we not need to cultivate a
more rational view on this issue?
Granting that leaders are essential to
success in every realm, it yet remains
that the crucial test of democracy Is
not in it's production of an elect mi
nority, but Of a self-reliant and intelli-
gent majority.
Homers heroes pail on the modern
mind because of their self -exalting
windy braggadocio. Their method of
fighting was single combat; their vic
tories were the victories of an individ-
ual Today confederated action wins
the field in peace or war.
What we need is not so much a
strong leader as stronger man in
every house. Association has its own
perils but it develops clearer discern
ment and more unselhsh aims than
isolation.

Besides these items. bananas are a
good source of vitamins A and E.
Prof. Walter H. Eddy of Column.
bia found that banana is equal to
green peas in it's content of vitamin
A. which Is about one-twentieth the
value of fresh butter in vitamin A.
In vitamin r banana is equivalent
to tomato and nearly as rich as pure
fresh raw milk.
Even though purchased from a
push cart peddler. bananas come in a
sanitary package. The banana skin
Is practically germ proof, until 1t is
broken.
Cooking, either stewing or baking,
converts the starch or cellulose in
even green unripened bananas into
soluble sugar. But the natural ripen-
ing process does this as we'll or bet
