The Names the Thing

Bids were opened this week by Secretary of the
Navy Wilbur for construction the first of the six
new cruisers for the Navy
The fact that these contracts are about to be let
and that the lowest bid for single ship is $1O642
600 is causing little concern
Who gets the contract and for what amount
isn't OF much interest to citizens
But the naming of the cruisers! That's some
thing to send kilograms to your Congressman about
Six cruisers are to be named and six gunboa-.
or twelve ships in ALL
Just how many cities have requested that their
names be placed these warships not even Secre-
airy Wilbur will divulge
Needless to say there are so many that even
though some have been selected, the secretary is
taking the precaution to wait and announce them
all at once in order that the protests may fall where
they may, after it's over
Letters have been written kilograms have been
sent and delegations have called
Chambers of Commerce have passed resolutions
and SO have the lunch clubs. Many Congressman

district before the Navy secretary
All over the naming of cruiser or a gunboat

versatility has found expression in
many fields other than jewelry MAX

has led him into his present activ-

Deeply interested in the ceremo-
MES OF the Hebrew church, he began
making the ritual pieces for his own

exhibited, commissions came to him.
He was taught the trade of gold
smithing as a boy in Poland When
his time came for service in the Rus
sian army he passed the entire time
of his service in the Caucasus or
Crimea.
1t was here that he became inter-
ested in Oriental art, particularly
the inlaying of metal in another
metal or in wood. His ebony pieces

most beautiful in the present exhi.

review for jewelry published in
Amsterdam, says of Friedlander:

"But bill shall be presented to the governor within

The last legislature sent something like two

One of those bills raises the salaries of the

To the Editor:
The conscious mind of man is the
outward expression of the inward
soul. The human, earthly body is
only the mortal frame or temple for
the inward soul. The soul of man
is non-atomic, ethereal body,
which is separated and Independent
from the mortal or earthly body.
1t is immortal because it is in
corporeal, and it has the independent
power Of self motion. There can be
no arrangement of matter, tissue or
which can be conceived of as the
originator of this free and voluntary
movement of what we call the con-
scious mind.y
We must, therefore, come to the
conclusion that there are two dis
tinct existences of life in the temple
of man. The soul being invisible,
incorporeal and indissoluable is
therefore immortal.
The soul, or conscious mind, pre-

of the human system. 1t may be
dependent for it's manifestation upon
the material, earthly tissues, organs,
etc, of the human system, but it
has a self-applied volition and state
all of it's own.
1t is essentially self-active on all
parts and members of our eEN9ly
temple, with a vital force that N&6ts
all action which would displace it.
The conscious mind, or soul, is de.
pendent upon God for what it is, but
as created by him, it is endowed with
certain spontaneous volition which
take form In thoughts and emotions.
The mortal man, though dying in
his mortal state, is dying full of life,
for his immortal soul liveth.
Therefore the soul is the keystone
to the arch of the human, earthly
temple of man. The soul of man H.
Eliminates the human, mental sys-
tenn as the water lily is beacon Of
light to and beauty to muddy, Shiny
waters as it unfurls it's beautiful
petals and fragrance all Of it's own.

What the Public Pays For

The Department of Agriculture has sent out as
a public document 100000 copies of the Presidents
veto message on the McNaryHaugen farm relief
bill. The cost is borne by the taxpayers through
operating costs Of the department.
The only motive for such wide distribution
of the message at this time would to be politi-
cal-to help President Coolidge and hit Governor
Lowden, the farm belt candidate for President. If
political, there seems why the public
should pay the cost.

In No. 8, West should lead the

The reasons for these leads:
No. ), South bids one No.Trump
and obtains the contract. West, with
three four-card suits, should lead
the fourth best card of the strongest.
No. 6, South bids one Spade and
obtains the contract. Having four
trumps, West does not wish to lead
his singleton and be forced; ~he

for the second trick.

Diamond and then one No-Trump,

Vests best opening lead is the long
suit which the adversaries have not
named.
No. 8, South gets the contract
with a bid of one Diamond West
| should not lead trump, nor a sin
