(US) THE Coast Guard base
was notified tonight that the
speedcraft. Aloysious, of New
York, was aground outside Nara
9ansett Bay on the Western
Shore and would probably be a
total loss. It was not known
whether anybody was aboard her.
Two patrol boats were sent
from the base to investigate.

A Deadly Combination.

The deadliness of the combination OF
running gasoline motor and a closed
garage was again Illustrated the other
day when Lieut.. James c. McQuade, q
veteran of the Police Department, was
found iiseiess beside his car in the ga
rage under his house. He had evidently
been testing spark plugs with his motor
running, as screw driver was found in
his hand with an extra plug on top of
the engine.
So often have the perils OF nionoxide
gas been stressed that It seems almost
futile to repeat them. But In the hope
that some OF the many motorists who
thoughtiessly begin tinkering with their
cars inside Of closed garages will stop
and think, the warning win be now re-
iterated. Monoxide gas is odorless, or
practically so. and is invisible. It is
generated by the running of motor.
In the outside air 1t is harmless. but in
a closed room It's effect is almost instan-
taneously fatal.
With the mounting death toll from
monoxide gas poisoning 1t would seem
that the motorists of today must regard
the opening Of the garage doors, the
first moment they enter, rs important
as looking both ways before they cross
railroad tracks. So the next time you
go to the garage open the doors as you
enter and tinker with the motor after
ward.

Hoover Passing Through New
Relationship With the Press

OF last June have yielded large crop
of what seem TO him to be misunder-
standings and nianterpretations and
distortions and perversions Of his views.
Accordingly, while continuing las
always to discuss his views and plans
with his intimate friends, some OF whom
are newspaper correspondents, he has
virtually retired from all direct COM
munications to the press in general
It is to be noted incidentally that the
correspondents who have the happiness
or unhappiness-to be his friends have
been thereby debarred from particle
pating in the delightful speculations
regarding the composition of his coming
cabinet and have thus been at q great
disadvantage as inventors and dissemi-
majors of wild and winsome rumors.
Such has been the situation. This
writer hazards the guess that it will be
totally changed just as soon as Mr.,
Hoover takes the oath Of ONCE on
He will then again be an administra-
tor. He will then again have facts to
tell. He win then tell them, He viii

lures and Gurn1igeS He intends IN sneak

stead of being castigated as o news

New United States Territory.

No great tide OF migration Is expect
ed to sweep southwark, and no interna-
tional complications are to be feared,
from Comdr. Byrd's discovery and sub
sequent claim. in the name Of the
United States, of great mountain ranges
and forty thousand square miles Of
territory in Antarctica. BY setting up
the flag on new territory, Condr Byrd
has merely given the United States a
claim to 1t. If ever there came a time
when the actual ownership Of the land
was disputed the United States would
have to produce more than the flag to
come into actual possession. Interna-
tional law and usage fall to cover a
situation comparable TO Byrd's dis
coyery, although Great Britain has
taken the stand In the past that dis
coyery made by q private individual, In
the prosecution of private enterprise,
confers no national rights.
Should the United States ever see At
to argue with some other nation the
ownership OF Comdr. Byrd's newly dis
covered territory. the question would
eventually find It's way for settlement
into the hands Of an international arbi-
tration commission. That would only
come about we're the newly discovered
territory found to be potentially valu-
able. No one knows now whether the
Antarctic contains anything more vaiu-
able than some very pure Ice and guam
titles Of building material in the form
Of rocky mountain ranges.
But is is highly stimulating, from an
emotional standpoint, to read that the
nag flies In virgin lands that never be-
fore have felt the tread Of human feet
nor the shadow Of mans airplanes. The
value Of Byrd's discovery may end there.
But the belief Is generally held that
such value viii not end there. Comdr.
Byrd's party has already succeeded In
aeriaiiy mapping territory that hereto-
fore was blank spot on the map Of the
world. and the fights that have been
made during this Antarctic Summer are
merely preparatory flights. They have
been made to try out the take-offs and
landing Of planes, to obtain data on wish
bility, air currents and flying conditions
in the air, They are merely laying the
foundation for the longer and more ex-
tended aerial explorations next year.
Byrd and his party are just beginning
to scratch the surface. but what they
have already found Is intensely Interest,"
ing, even from the standpoint Of the
layman who does not care particularly
about the Antarctic. but who always
perks up his head and listens when he
hears that there Is. after all. some
thing new under the sun.

mechanical. that lacks warmth and
deep, understanding sympathy. Such
generosity, however large its expression
may be, conveys little of value to the
one upon whom it is lavished. Tt is all
too common among us--it is cold, per-
functory. and neither blesses him who
gives nor him who takes. Lowell IN his
"Sir Launfal," describes the antithests
of this In the words: 49,
who gives himself with his gift feeds
three:
Himself, his hungry neighbor and me"
The great Master illustrated this in
the case of the widow and her two
mites, who at the temple gave out of
her poverty, but with deep love, win
ming from Him the encomiun, "She
hath cast In more than they all. !"
Finally, In this amazing summary, the
apostle makes the statement, Though
! give my body to be burned, and have
not love, 1t profiteth me nothing" Even
martyrdom may prove valueless; sacri-
fee OF all that one has without love is
Intellectual Such statement as this
is arresting and seemingly incredible.
That sacrifice, however great 1t may be,
is Improbable without love appears on
first consideration to be illogical and
uA1WHAAh1lbC0, 1AAA Wv 6CAtkShAovA 6e40Aa0
OF the proof of the apostles reasoning
can readily be found in the record of
human life. The supremest example
of the love motive disclosing itself in
sacrifice Is found In the crucified
Savior of mankind. Going willingly to
His mighty sacrifice, He declares.
Greater love hath no man than this,
that man lay down his life for his
friends" 1t is little wonder that the
analyst of history said that the SUI
premest factor that gives to the Chris
tian Church its continuing power and
influence Is the uplifted Son of God
upon the cross. The persistence Of
Jesus in human thought Is directly
traceable to an expression OF love that
Is wholly Incompatible.
Concluding this amazing chapter, the
writer says, And now abideth faith,
hope, love, these three; but the greatest
of these is love" Our age has largely
shifted the emphasis from the love mo-
tive to education and intellectual de-
velopment, TO those things that make
for efficiency In LIES service. It would
seem to say, "Repress the emotions,
give larger range to the purely intellec-
tual: be a perfect, well planned ma
chine, for life Is sternly competitive.
There Is no place for feeling: the race
Is to the swift and the battle to the
strong" In spite of all this, 1t is con-
spicuously true that love continues to be
the great dynamic, the highest inspira-
ton to service, the most compromising
element In life.

China is different. Its culture is

Chinese studies, nevertheless, are des-

part in American culture. This has
been recognized for long time by such
institutions as the Library Of Congress,
which have been engaged in the labo-
rious, patient work Of clearing the way.

of Chinese books outside of China for

The Culture of China.

The American Council Of Learned So
cieties has launched an organized move
nient to promote in the United States
the study Of Chinese language, literature
and civilization.
The importance Of this project can be
sensed from the statement that as late
~ 1850 Chinese books outnumbered
those in any other language. Prior to
1850 more books had been published in
Chinese than in all other languages
combined. Even today the largest pub
fishing house in the world is In Shang-
hal.
Here is q vast reservoir Of culture
from which only tiny brooklets of philos-
cphy and mysticism are flowing into
Western civilization. Why has the West
allowed this great reservoir to remain
untapped 80 long?
The answer must be that the problem
OF opening this reservoir presents ex-
ceptional difficulties. The Chinese mind
expresses itself In way which Is ex-
tremeiy difacult for the Caucasian ia
understand unless he gets outside his
own skin" The language itself is an
expression of a habit Of thought which
the westerner must learn--and perhaps

The first important departure from
the old-style post Office building was in
the construction in large cities of struc-
lures of the once building type. In
stead of using up large footage for i'm
pressive approaches, pedestals for
statues, and other monumental and In
imical trimmings, the land acquired Is
economically used, the building erected
in accordance with sound city con-
struction practice and all modern I'M
provements In the way of mall handling
machinery substituted for marble urns
and symbolical figures. This by no
means presupposes that the buildings
cannot be made beautiful. Indeed, Of
flee building construction lends itself
readily to the highest type Of striking
design.

1.-THE Love Motive"

4 he Love motive.
1t would be difficult to find a more
startling statement than the above.
great scholar says that this whole chap.
ter is "the greatest and deepest thing
st, Paul ever wrote" In the preceding
chapter he concludes it by saying
"Coyet earnestly the best gifts, and YET
shew unto you more excellent way
Above every gift and quality OF mind
and heart the great apostle places love
as supreme Henry Drummond. the
great Scotchman, wrote an amazingly
attractive book on this chapter, en-
titled The Greatest Thing in the
World
In this chapter five contrasts are
made. In the first he speaks of the
greatness Of eloQuence, the power OF
utterance, declaring. Though I speak
with the tongues Of men and of angels
and have not love, am become as
sounding brass or a tinkling cymbal -
Mighty as the power of speech is, with
out the love motive 1t Is ineffective
We can find abundant illustrations of
this in our experience and observation
A critically analytical and utterly logi-
cal presentation Oh a theme leaves us
cold and unresponsive. The emotional
element In any utt0eance constitutes
it's dynamic, its compelling power
Turning from eloQuence, he speaks of
the gift of prophecy and knowledge
Though / have the gift Of prophecy,
and understand all mysteries. I am
nothing" Rising still higher in the
scale. he says, And though have all
faith. so that could remove noun
tains, and have not love, I am Moth
ing" Even faith without the love mo-
tive proves futile. A friend of mine
observed to me that so far as the
Christian faith was concerned, he had
it intellectually. He gladly recognized
its transcendent worth and the whole
Christian system as superior to any
other philosophy of life. What lack
Is an emotional appreciation OF it," he
added Somehow do not feel con-
corning Christ and His teaching. which
gladly acknowledge to be superior to
all else, that which calls for the deeper
emotions Of my nature" coldly rea-
soned faith must prove unsatisfying.
Again the apostle speaks of form Of
generosity, spontaneous and prodigal In
its nature, but lacking the love motive.
"And though I bestow all my goods to
feed the poor 1t profiteth me
nothing" We are all familiar with
that form Of generosity that Is purely
