"The Great Attainment"
"The glorious liberty OF the chill
dren of God" (Rom1ns, Utii.2D.

Liberty has been the watchword Of
our people. 1t has challenged the de-
votion of men and women alike and
called forth type of heroism that is
our boast and pride. Down through the
ages men have repeatedly made Sacri-
fees in the interests of larger liberty.
The relation that the teachings of Jesus
Christ bear to this universal quest Of
mankind is vital and intimate. Those
who have championed the cause of lib
erty have felt the inspiration of Him
whose teachings constitute the express
sion of life'S Supremest ideals. Victor
Hugo once said that THE first tree of
liberty was that set up on Golgotha
wherein the Savior of mankind was
crucif1ed."
Our generation is witnessing an in
sistent search for larger liberty and this
search is frequently characterized by an
unwillingness to recognize those indis-
pensable conditions that guarantee to
us life, liberty and the pursuit of hap
pineSS" The emphasis now is largely
upon personal liberty" form of selfish
individualism wholly unresponsive to the
interests of our social and corporate life.
We would substitute license for liberty;
we would disregard those time-honored
and consistent conventions that con-
tribute to the veal and happiness of
that common fellowship of which we are
a part.
We have been reminded in certain
quarters of late that the teachings of
Christ place large limitations upon life.
that they produce form of slavery and
restricted freedom of action. There is
certainly nothing in the words of the
great Master to confirm this. He de-
clared that He came to usher in 1.-The
more abundant life" He contendcd

A New One.

Many unique alibis have been offered
in, traffic courts. Some of them have
worked, some have not. Frequently,
however, the judge is so struck with the
originality of these excuses that he dis
misses the case. This is what happened
the other day in New York, when junk
dealer, arrested for driving his ancient
horse and dilapitiated wagon past a.
red light, told the court that it was not
his fault because his nag was stub
bornly inclined to stop on the green and
go on the red, and that try as he might
he could not convince the equine that
this was the wrong procedure. Where
upon the magistrate, with a twinkle in
his eye, told the driver that in the fu-
ture he had better blindfold the horse
or keep off automatically lighted streets
if he did not want to be fined.
Such excuses as Honest, judge, I'll
give you the car if it can go forty miles
an hour" and "Your honor, my speedom-
eter IS out of order and that's why it
seemed to me that / was well within
the speed limit" are so timeworn and
frayed that they seldom have an effect
in averting the payment of penalty,
but when a man like Herman Meyero-
WITT, a junk dealer, tells the court with
serious mien that his horse is just plain
contrary about the new-fangled traffic
lights, what is the judge to do but free
him? Herman undoubtedly is a good
junk dealer.

EVERYDAY RELIGION

ing There is urgent need that the
youth of our generation should be made
to understand that the Christian life as
conceived by the Master is designed to

dening anxiety. In one of the most re-
markable utteranceS of Jesus he said,

their neW-found faith, to characterize it
as "the liberty wherewith Christ hath
made us free" They preached this
liberty to men and women who all their
lifetime had been subject to bondage
through fear. 1t was such preaching
and teaching that wrought change in
the habits and practices of men as had
not been known before.

Early Birds.

Whoever is elected in November,
Washington will undoubtedly be crowd
ed in March for the Inauguration of the
peoples choice. The Capital looks for
ward to a return of the old-time cere-
monial, with public demonstration, and
hopes that Immediately after election
the successful aspirant for the presi-
dency will announce his willingness that
such program in return to the custom
of decades up to comparatively recent
times will meet with his approval. In
that event preparations will at once be
started, and the citizens Of the District
will doubtless without partisanship be-
gin the work of making the Inaugural
ton of 1929 notable in American his
tory.
Preparedness is the order OF the day
and it is interesting to note that already
reservations have been made by New
York organization for a large area OF
hotel room in this city for inauguration
accommodations. This is Republican
organization, and the enterprise shown
by it is evidence of enthusiastic conf
dence in the outcome Of the election
But as history has recorded, there are
many disappointments, and no one car

are born. Merely the raw material OF
man is born. The individual is made
by his environment-and there are few
greater factors in environment than
clothing. The shirt one wears is an
intimate and potent element Of the
world in which one lives.
Clothing. like water, seeks its own
level. The phenomenon is familiar to
all of us. A new necktie calls for a
new shirt. A new shirt calls for a
new suit. A new suit calls for new
overcoat. In the same way, one does
not wear a new silk shirt with thread
bare suit.
Arbitrary change of single article
of attire has powerful tendency to
bring about change in the whole ward
robe The habit of wearing shoes, if it
could be inculcated in the laboring
classes of Portugal, eventually would
change the whole dress system. Thus
a profound change would be brought
about in the environment. This, in
turn, inevitably would bring about a
profound change in the habits of think
ing and the outlook on life and oppor-
tunity.
Telling the people of village that
they must wear shoes is an indirect
way of telling them that they must
clean up their villages, build new houses
and eat better food 1t is an indirect
way of telling them that they must find
money to do these things.
It is impossible to predict the far
reaching social results of such ar edict.

ever be sure of the outcome Of q presi-
Dental contest. It would be well in these
circumstances to underwrite these parti-
san reservations. For instance, the New
York Republican group that has just
pre-empted large block of hotel suites
should make private arrangements with
corresponding Democratic group of
the same city to take over the reserva-
tons in the event that the successful
candidate should chance to be Gov.
Smith instead of Mr.. Hoover. Why
should not a spirit of comfy prevail in
this matter? Let there be competition
for good space between Republican or
CARNATIONS and groups with an Offset
ting corresponding and insuring COM
petition among Democratic bodies, with
the distinct understanding that the
rooms shall go to that side in favor of
which the tide of ballots turns in No.
vember.
1t is to be assumed that these hotel
reservations are all contingent at pres
ent, that when a bargain is made for
certain selected spaces in the hotels
they are conditioned upon the result of
the election. The hotel managers can
not afford to tie up to either party.
Their rooms are their chief asset in a
presidential year. They expect a big
crowd in Washington, whoever is elect
ed, and they will not be disappointed.
But it would be more satisfactory, more
businesslike, to have the reservations
match" a Democratic order balancing
a Republican order to the limit of hotel
capacity.
No more assuring sign of keen interest
in the March ceremonies will be had
than this September reservation of
rooms. 1t should go far toward induc-
ing the successful candidate, whoever he
may be, to consent to return to the
old style of Inducing Presidents into
offce-a style which was set aside few
years ago to the keen disappointment of
many thousands of Americans, and for
the revival of which there is now such
strong demand.

UNITED STATES
In WORLD WAR
Ten Years Ago Today

Advancing northward on a front OF
more than 80 miles, the allied armies
in Macedonia, overcoming all resistance,
Germans and BulgarS, rushed down in
a frantic effort to check them, have
broken through the mountain zone that
was called impregnable by the enemy's
general staff, and are moving swiftly
forward on the plains where is sprea
the vital railway system of southern
Serbia. Forces OF six nations are drlv-
ing the enemy north in wild confusion.
Gen. Allenby's forces, push
ing through Palestine, capture $4,000
Turks and $50 guns. The rest of the
Sultan's army of 10000 is doomed
through the seiZing of the last Of the
passages of the Jordan. The country
is now lost to the MoSlemS, and the
whole railway system in southern Syria
will come under allied control.
The French now hold the west bank of
the Disc for more than 3 miles
north of La Fere. The Germans evacu-
ate Vendeuil to avoid being trapped by
the French. Despite desper-
ate German resistance, the British
push forward and conquer strong posi-
lions northwest of st. Quentin.
Two thousand two hundred and twenty

The Philosophy of Shoes.

Portugal demands that all its citizens
wear shoes. Starting october l, &C.
cording to a newspaper dispatch from
Lisbon, it will be misdemeanor to ap-
pear on the street barefooted
The police have an unenviable task
before them in enforcing this law Few
peoples have shown as little inclination
to submit to standardization as the
Portuguese. The right of the individual
to dress, eat, drink and think as he
or she pleases is fundamental in the
popular philosophy. There might be
meek submission to such an edict in
Central or Eastern Europe, where SINH
lar laws have not been unknown in the
past. The inhabitants of the Iberian
peninsula are staunch individualists
who hitherto have resisted successfully
attempts at mass discipline.
Such a law may appear on its face
as an arbitrary and obnoxious express
sion of official righteousness. Yet II

ton of sound sociology to the problem
of raising the standard of living anC
the sense of civic responsibility in the

successfully enforced, is likely to have
a profound effect for better or worse

Efforts to Organize
The Poultry Industry
BY HARDEN COLFAx.

Another billion-dollar industry is
clamoring for greater recognition. A
committee representing the National
Poultry Council last week urged Bud

funds for research work by the De-
partment of Agriculture in the solution
of problems affecting poultry and eggs.

1t is only in comparatively recent
years that organization in handling poul-
try products developed. For more than
10 years this branch of agriculture has
been running sales in excess of bill
lion dollars annually. The packers and
dealers have organizations, and SO have
some OF the producers, but it is only
lately that there has been a movement
to raise what heretofore has been a
more or less hit-or-miSs business to the
rank OF an industry. Uncle Sam has
been giving some attention to poultry
and eggs, but nothing compared to what
he has devoted to certain grain crops,
for instance, although wheat. oats, fruit,
potatoes and long list of other farm
products rank we'll below poultry in

Perpetual Discomfort.

Friend wife, oh, have a care!
To you my love shall be denied
If you should bob your hair!"
And yet, in Fashions name,
She bobbed it just the same.
The husband, still protesting, sighed,
Friend wife, you're looking strange!
Bobbed hair I learned to view with
pride.
Yet now you make change!"
Said she, You're always wrong,
Hair now is worn quite long!"
