postponed until the latter half of Octo-
ber. 1t is known that the deputies
found their constituencies discomfort
id and are themselves dissatisfied at
some of Premier Poincare's recent
drastic administrative reforms.
Generally speaking, the stability of
the government probably depends
largely on the exchange rate. If the
franc improves, or holds it's ground,
the government has a good chance of
surmounting all new obstacles. If the
franc again falls, the government per
haps will be easy prey to the first
serious political attack.
Opposition to the Washington debt
agreement continues to be apparently
invincible, despite the fact that the
government formally favors ratitica-
ton. 1t should be clearly understood
that this opposition is based less on
the scale of payments than on the
absence from the agreement of trans
fer and safeguard clauses.

Straight Back Proof
of General Fitness

A pretty good idea of mans
physical fitness can be got from
the way in which he holds himself.
If his back is straight, with his
shoulders well back. it is a hun
dred chances to one that he IS as
fit as he can be. In the same way,
person who 2l.kes it rule al
ways to carry himself erect is go
ing to help very considerably to
preserve good health.
The spinal column is one of the
deciding factors of health. When
IT is straight. as it should he, all
the carriages between each see
ton of the spine are in their nat
ural state and retain their elias
ticity and suppleness.
Immediately man lets himself
get round-shoNldered, some of the
c.rtilages are compressed. They
remain in this unnatural state.
with the result that the spinal cord
becomes pinched, as also do the
numerous nerves passing from the
spinal cord to The body.
The effect of this perpetual
pinching is 10 deaden the nerves.
and this in time sets up general ill
health.

Scooter Met Match
in Witty Preacher

Doctor Parker, famous English
pulpit orator, on one occasion was
receiving a good deal of attention
at London club to which he had
been invited. All was going well
until one of the audience, perhaps
somewhat irritated at finding q
Christian minister the center of so
much fiattering attention, launched
out into an attack upon Ghristiani-
ty. He said that, after all, the
benefits of Christianity had been
tremendously oEerrated, and that
In benefieent influence upon man
kind many inventions had done
more than Christianity. For in
stance" he said, Il consider that
the discovery Of gas has done more
for mankind than the Christian re-
ligion." The clubmen instantly re-
scented this insult to their guest.
There were Kisses and cries of
Shame" and "Withdraw" Doctor
Parker arose and said, flush, do
not let us quarrel with our friend.
He is simply stating his belief.
When l am nearing my latter end

the Christian religion, but our
friend here, on his deathbed. will
call for the gas man. Montreal

Ancient Bibles

The American Bible society says
that prior TO the Gutenberg Bible
printed about 1850, many manu-
scripts of the Bible were pro-
dueed in which both sides of the
leaf were lettered. Writing mate
rails were so expensive in the Mid
die ages that it was the exception
rather than the rule not to Use
both sides of leaf. We have in
our library at Union seminary four
Latin biblical manuscripts of that
type II was quite possible TO write
the entire Bible in manuscript in
a single volume. though the hand
writing which had 10 be employed
In that ease was apt to be so small
that it WAS very hard 10 read.
Three of our biblical manuscripts
mentioned above contain in 81 sin
gle volume both the Old and the
New Testaments, SO II was quite
feasible"

Insects in Cold Weather

While the majority Of insects
disappear during cold weather,
some are known TO live and thrive
at temperatures which kill most Of
their kind in a few minutes. About
900 different insects have been
found living on or in the snow.
About twenty-five species are
known to come out on the snow
in Europe and America. Some of
these are so small that they are
never seen except in winter, and
they are SO little known that they
have no popular name. 1t is not
known how, or on what they live.

widely used and Is somewhat sim
liar to Roquefort, but not so ex-
pensive. Like Roquefort. it is made
of sleeps milk. but is milder in
flavor. Gorgonzola is put up in 90
pound baskets, one cheese TO a

is covered with preparation made
chiefly from gypsum and tallow, In
this way 1t is possible to keep the
cheese a year or more. a great
deal of this cheese comes from the
province Of Lombardy.

Electricity for Rclts

Electricity has now. been called
into use in experiments to give
loose belts firm grip on the pull
leys. Metal pulleys are coated with
any smooth. hard and durable in
sulating substance, and the fric-
ton of the belt causes it to be
charged with electricity on its in
ner surface. AS the belt passes
over the insulating coating, the
metal of the pulley becomes
charged by induction with cleo
tricity of the opposite pole, and
strong attraction between belt and
pulley is developed.

Cecil b. de Mile, in association
with the Los Angeles Times, con-
Quoted this motion picture idea
contest. with prizes sufficiently
large to interest intelligent people.
The response to this contest -
interesting in its reflection or the
ptlblic's Increased knowledge OF
story values and the obvious
study that the screens dramatic
technique has received during
the past four years.
The final summary or the pnoto-
play contest Is illuminating also
in its indication OF the pu0ncs
taste In motion picture entertain
ment, and the progress that pic.
lures have made In their appear
to the intellectual classes through
out the entire world.
During the brief period OF the
contest. which ran from january
81 to, FEBRUARY 81. ss.517 sugges-
lions were submitted, coming
from every. State in the Union
and 16 foreign countries. THESE
suggestions came from coneGe
professors, doctors, lawyers
priests, ministers. rabbis, bank
presidents and executives IN VIZ
tually every great commercial IN
dustry. as well as from authors
and artists OF wide reputation
artisans. clerks, miners and labor
ers in every field OF human en-
deavor.
These letters, which are now on
fila at the Cecil de Mile studio,
are an exhibit Of crested and en-
bossed stationery from aristocratic
homes and great corporations, slde
by side with cheap ruled note
uaper of the 1aboring classes.
In 1922. when Mr.. De Mile ran
a similar oDntest. 29.1OO ideas
were submitted, OF which 20 per
cent were found ineligible because
of iIliteracy or total lack OF In
iteIIectual value. In this years
contest less than One-half or I
per cent Of the $4,000 replies were
found flliterate or nOn-intellectuai
a 90 per cent increase in intellec-
tuality, indicating that motion Pic
lures are either appealing TO
higher class Of intelligence or that
the screen, IN four years, has per-
formed a wonderful work Of edu-
cation.
IN the 1922 contest As per cent
of the suggestions could not be
filmed because Of camera hmlta-
lions, while in the 1926 replies less
than 8 per cent are unsuited to
motion-picture technique. This
proves concIusiveIy that motion
picture patrons are students OF
the technique Of the silent drama
and have become more critical in
their Judgment Of story presenta-
ton.
In listing and classifying the SUBJ
iects suggested for perturbation
it is found that public taste diff
