CUBA'S ALCOHOL, ABSORBED BY ]. 5. By-PrOduCt Of MOlasSes Valuable

Havana. Dec. IA P-Alcohol pro- Guced from black strap molasses may take its place as a leading in dustry in Cuba if proposals before congress are accepted.
 The fact that the United States acts like a sponge on Cuba's alco- hol production is advanced in favor of large scale investment in the pro- jected industry. It is also argued that such alcohol would be a substi- tute for gasoline.
 The claim is that by making ust of the raw molasses, which is thrown off as a by-product of sugar. and producing a finished pro luc' namely alcohol. great quantity oi the raw material which is now be ing shipped to other countries foi

SENATE LEADERS
 ARE CHUCKL|NG
Vets TicklM When Huge Pro.
 hibiton Increase Passes

Washington, Dec. 1T @ - The senate went to work today with some of its members. particularly the vets. still chuckling over an event of yesterday.
 The treasury-post office appro- priation bill already had passed, when Senator Bruce, democrat, Maryland, proposed an amendment raising the funds for liquor law en- torcenent from s13,5O0,000 to so7o,os7,3S4. IL was accepted, ap- po~en;ly few knowing what had happened When the realization came the vets laughed and the drys took comfort in the belief that the Bruce addition would be stricken out in conference. since the added apportionment would upset the gov errments fiscal program if it went through.
 LAmb-Like Fashion
 The senate began this sessions legislation in lamb-like fashion, but it may sweep through it's program like lion before adjournment comes. The treasury post office bill has been disposed of handily and Boulder Dam has succumbed to amendments and compromises until .he vote on 1t was looked upon as an assured thing.
 The house also was nearing ~f rriaNon bills, that providing funds for :he interior department, and the agricultural department appropria- ton bill has been whipped into shape until it is about ready for the floor.
 Two senate committee hearings commanded attention today. One was on :he Kellogg Briand treaty by the foreign relations committee. Tho other, which began as the con- siderafion Of the nomination of Roy Q. WeA, secretary of the interior, had branched off into what resem- bled another oil inquiry. Beginning with questions asked West about the renewal of the Salt Creek Royalty oil lease to Harry F. Sinclair, the committee later called pr. Hubert Work, secretary of the interior when the contract was renewed. and today William J. Donovan, an as- sistant attorney general. had been summoned to testify.
 The senate foreign relations con- mittee has had two brief hearings on the Kellogg -Briand pact and be- gan the third with the prospect that reservations might be offered.
 Other committees of both houses had routine meetings before them

Sunday School Lesson

twelve until he had already fairly
large company of followers. This
fact helps to correct an assumption
that is not always justified in the
reading of the narrative of the call
of the respective disciples.
The implication would be, some
times. that Jesus, as he passed by.
called those whom he had not
known before. and that they left
all and followed him. This, how
ever, was seemingly not the case, as
we discover when we put all the
references and facts together. For
instance, the story of calling Of An
drew and Peter John casts con-
siderable light upon the story of
their call as it appears in the other
Gospels.
Knew Their Qualities
Jesus evidently had observed the
men whom he CALLED, and he APP
pointed them to special plane be-
cause of the qualifications that he
discerned in them. So far as we
can see, he chose them not for SUI
perficial abilities or characteristics,
but because of some inner worth
or Of some capacity for loyalty and
devotion which as yet was latent
in their lives AS a matter of fact.
the twelve when he chose at first
failed notori0usly to understand
him. Called to the highest and
most sacrificial of labors they quar-
relied among themselves about mat
ters Of place and preferment, and
he told them on one occasion, "Ye
know not of what spirit we are Of"
But the twelve with one exception,
ultimately indicated his faith in
them.
New Visions
Through the power of the Gospel
they were brought beyond their
smallness of outlook and their vain
dreams of power and ambition to
see the reality of divine love, and
to seek LIES fulf1llment in loyalty
to their Master.
Jesus called them very much as
he called men and women today;
that is. he gave them something to
do. If they had been unwilling to
listen or unwilling to attempt the
tasks that he was assigned, there
would have been no effectual call.
1t was their response as well as
Christ's invitation that made the
call effective, and our response may
make evident Christ's call to us to-

The International Uniform Sunday
School Lesson for March 4. The Train
ing of the Twelve. Mark 3:13-15; 6:7-13.
BY VIM. E. GILROY, D. D.,
Editor of The COngregationaIist

EEW great teachers in history
l. have exerted their influence
purely as individuals. They have
gathered about them disciples, and
among these disciples there has de-
veloped, through loyalty to a COM
mon master, or through the in
fuence of common teaching, GER
tain action.
Jesus was unique and pre-eminent
as a teacher in this. that his life
and his teachings far outshadow
anything revealed in his disciples;
but on the other hand the great
ness of his teaching came to the
world through the disciples, and it
was through his wise choice of an
inner circle of evangelists, whom
he drew to him that they might
understand the good news that he
had brought and go forth proclaim
ing it, that he established the eff
fectivenesS OF his ministry and gave
it permanency to the world. APP
parently no wiser provision for the
spread of his gospel could have been
made.
Simplicity
The nature of the commission
that Jesus gave to these twelve and
the instructions concerning the way
in which they should carry out their
mission are interesting. Jesus lays
profound emphasis upon the prim-
acy of their work and the simplicity
of all the arrangements for its &C
Complishment.
We have had a recent and very
conspicuous demonstration of the
sort of thing which Jesus evidently
had In mind in the proper equip
ment of the disciples for their diff
cult work in the way in which Lind
bergh went to Paris. He travelled
light" spurnlng every nonessential
and sacrificing everything to the SUI
preme purpose that he had in mind.
Jesus attached that sort of sim
pie practically to the preaching OF
the Gospel. He warned the twelve
against such habits as might lead
to waste of time and over absorp-
ton with worldly things.
1t is instructive to note that ap-
parently Jesus did not appoint the

SPRING PAVING
PROJECTS Will
Give 500 JOBS
Work on rs improvements
to Begin as Soon as
Weather Permits.

Desirable spring weather which
will permit paving and resurfacing
of streets is awaited by Indian
apolis contractors and city officials.
1t is estimated that from 500 to
600 laborers will be given employ
ment when the paving season opens.
Contracts have been let for abo+y
twenty-five street improvement
projects and approximately eighty
other Improvements have been pc
titioned by property owners.
Gas Tax Money to Be Used
Marion County Construction Com
pany received the contract to widen
and resurface N. Meridian ST., be-
tween Fall Greek and Thirty Fourth
st. and the Mcnamara Construc-
ton Company the section from
Thirty st. to Thirty Eighth
st.
Work on the projects will be be-
gun as soon as weather conditions
permit. Six widening projects are
contemplated by the board of works.
City Engineer A. H. Moore said
from fifty to seventy-f1ve additional
laborers will be added to the en-
cheering pay roll about April l
when repair of STREETS is begun.
Moore plans to spend the $751; 900
gasoline tax money for street re-
pairs through the city asphalt plant,
instead Of by private contract, if
city council approves the plan.
Employment Promised
Street Commissioner Charles
Grossart probably will augment his
streets department forces with
about twenty men in a few weeks.
A. o. Abel of Abel Brothers, con-
tractors, estimated between 500 and
900 will be given employment if the
city has a normal paving season.
"A change in administration at
city hall would delay the program
another sixty days." Abel said.
II believe contractors will employ
from 600 to 800 more laborers when
the paving season opens about

nice Capulet and Montague young
Sters, caught in the tempestuouS
trap of youth, could have celebrated
their way out of their difficulties
into happy. if unsung, maturity.
Sex and youth are only the van-
guards of maturity and love.
1t is both erudite and sometimes
enlightening to call in the Greeks
when in doubt. The Greeks had a
great deal to say about rationaliza-
ton and love. 1t does, however,
seem to this observer, that here is
a subject upon which we have
certain advantage over the Greeks.
We have had many hundreds Of
years in which to experiment be-
yond the point where they left Off.
We no longer accept their astron-
omy or their geology or their ply

Mr.. Durant, however, seems to
have accepted the Greek conclusion
that, biologically speaking, no ra-
tional man ever falls in love after

This observer is inclined to be-
lieve that the naturalization OF
man and the naturalization of love
go hand in hand.

The State criminal identification

Texas, who claims that Liberty
Bonds valued at 100000 deposited
in the Sullivan Citizens Trust Com
pany Bank have disappeared.
Abbott said that he had former

while there became a friend of
James Lang, missing president of
the bank. Moving from Sullivan
ten years ago, he maintained a cor
respondence with the bank and
Lang as he owned some stock in
that concern in his wife's name.
During the war he had Lang pur-
chase 100000 of Liberty Bonds for
him.
When the bank was forced into

pearance two weeks ago, he wired
the bank concerning the bonds and
was notified they we're gone.
He came here from FL Paso.
