GOD SITS ON HIS THRONE:
BE NOT PERPLEXED

o wonders of the present age!
Inspiring poet, confounding sage
How fast unfolding to our view
So oft we find the "ever-new."
But yesteryear it "could not be-
Today we own 1--WE did not see."
Our eyes are open, our fingers touch
The things we would not own "were
such"
Fast fly the ships of air in space
Where once but birds their paths
did trace,
And in our ears sweet music huns
AS radio waves assail their drums.
Voices speak to us from out the
night
And thrill us with mysterious might;
The magic of the surgeons knife
Gives sure relief and prolongs life.
But more wonders by far, we think,
Now stand balanced upon the brink
OF mans short-sighted power to
see
Well hail them soon "as things that
be-"
Be not perplexed by the things un-
known,
The God of love sits on His throne;
And, as we are able to comprehend,
All mysteries will disappear-will
end.

BARONESS MANAGES EXCLUSIVE STUDIO
Most Fashionable lnd EId1Ya- 6lnt Clothes Art Found There

Paris, June 2S R-A style studio which turns out. for a price. women dressed in models designed espec- ially for them and to which they own the rights, is the latest and most extravagant clothes idea in Paris.
 It is being launched by the Baroness Accurti. Russian, and head of the dressmaking house of Ardanse, mushroom product which in five years has developed from nothing to one of the most fashionably patronized dress estab- Mshments in Europe.
 Baroness Accurti says frankly that she doesn't want women to come to her style studio unless they can afford to have what they want. no matter what the price.
 T am interested only in design ing for women to whom money means nothing. Ono of my present clients has an income of more than t2.000,000 . year." she said. At present she can buy nothing in the way of clothes. not even in Paris. that she will not find copied else- where within a few weeks. I want to show that there is such a thing as exclusive designing left in Paris.
 She is going to do all the work of her style-studio herself. she says devoting two afternoons a week to 1t and keeping the number of her clients down. so that she personally can design and supervise their clothes. She continued:
 T shall see my subjects and talk to them in rooms decorated like the homes of the best people. One room will be sort Sf living room. containing nothing that is not the best of its kind. The other room will be a bedroom of luxurious and perfect appointment. In those rooms I can see my clients as others will see them and they can see them selves as they should be-"

Dwight DaYis' Daughter Be- comes Important Diplomatic Cog

Washington. June 2s Rl-A 20- year-old girl is to assume much re- sponsibility for the smooth adminis- tration of the new governor general of the Philippines.
 It is said in the islands that If the hostess in the palace is socially suc- cessful, the governor general will be politically successful.
 If this is true. Alice Davis, slim blue eyed daughter of Dwight F.. Davis. is an important cog in sov- ernmental diplomacy.
 Because of the illness of Mrs. Davis, Alice is going to the islands with all of the authority of a first lady" And, despite the fact she only recently was debuntante, she has no misgivings concerning the tremen- dous responsibility she will assume in the old Spanish palace which still

Painter Says They Alone De- termine Beauty of Mlady

Washington, June 2S R-"Bones" make a woman beautiful, in the opinion of Douglas Chandor, noted British portrait painter, who is in Washington painting the portraits Of members of the cabinet.
 But merely pretty face does not inspire this tall young artist who has had as subjects many of the worlds celebrities.
 There is natural refinement in bones," he says. Nothing can change them. Age does not matter, neither does fatigue or worry. Wo- men who have been up late at balls the night before come to my studio next morning fearful lest the effects show in the picture. They do not"

pr. Harlow Shapley. director of the Harvard college observatory, that led to the discovery of the hub of the universe"
 Thus the daughter of Gerard Swope, president of the great Gen. eral Electric company. does not need the reflected distinction of her fath- CTS position to give her public prominence.
 Two years of painstaking study of astronomical plates yielded to Miss Swope the discovery of 3s5 new variable stars-all very faint and distant, concentrated on photo- graphs of one small area of the Milky Way.
 It was in the analysis of this material that Dr. Shapley, with Miss Swope. discovered the nucleus of the Milky way system a massive central group around which our whole galaxy rotates. Dr. Shapley's s announcement. earlier this year. re- vealed that this group of stars was

 He has insisted that Miss. Swope be identified as his collaborator in this discovery, which he modestly describes as only one of success sion of steps of greater or less sig nificance.
 It might be said that Miss Swope just happened into the field of astronomy. She was puzzling over the choice of a career after year in social service study at the uni versity from Barnard in 1926. Then a friend told her of an opening in variable star research at Harvard. Thus it came about that she began investigation of one of the 24o fields of the Shapley Milky Way research.

How to Treat Our Best Customer
(New York Times.)

The report of our foreign trade ill 1928, just made by the Department of Commerce, shows that Canada now takes more of our exports than any other country The total for the twelve months had a value of s196OO0OO0 while our imports from Can ada amounted to S489000O00 It is explained that a portion of our shipments, particularly of grain to Canada is really a sort of transit trade being ul- timately destined to Great Britain or some other foreign market. Yet the figures demonstrate that Canada both absolutely and relatively, is the best customer which the United States has
 Since the ambition of ndustrialized America is to take over the old name of England as "a nation of shopkeepers" it is interesting to note ap parent theory about the best way in which to treat swelling list of grievances. Some of these are enumerated by The Ottawa Citizen of February % That newspaper does not in the least imagine that Americans consciously and debaterly set about offering affronts to Canada, but still the thing is done in one way and another. Our Federal Radio Commission quietly assumed jurisdiction of the air in the Dominion and allotted to Canada only six wave lengths out Of a hundred at it's disposal. Then shese is the continued threat Of tariff changes especially designed to hamper Canadian exports into the United States. Not long ago the House of Rep Eresentatives passed the Box bill which would pre- vent Canadian citizens from crossing the border except immigrants under the quota law.
 This is the kind of persistent irritation of Cam adian feelings which inevitably annoys neigh bors to the north, and which should raise here eration out of the account it is good business for the United States MT. Hoover soon may have something to say about this. As The Ottawa Citi- zen aptly remarks: If the goodwill of South America is worth cultivatng surely the/ good of Canada is worth keeping"

SOLVING FARM RELIEF.

If all the park .plans the plans for securing for shrines brthpaces and subsequent estates ol the great the National monument suggestions programs for animal and bird preserves, sanctuaries etc. are carried out the question of Farm Relief might dis appear If we add to these things the lands that are sought for tree planting, additional highways and additions to growing towns the threatened encroaeh- ment upon farming lands might become So great that the over production problem will disappear completely.
 Well, reservng comment upon the town addi- tions we can think of better solution of vexed question It would be wonderful if it could be set tied that way. The people that can get out into the woods the better it will be for everybody Doubtless it would be good thing if lot of them could get out in the woods and stay there. The greater the acreage in woods the larger will be the numbers that will get opportunity to get into them More power to the park plans; make the shrines National monuments, preserves sanctuaries etc, large and numerous. And may tree planting never cease.
 But fo the sake of all that's human let enough of the lands in section be kept open for settle ment mineral location and other to leave room for substantial population

BUDGET REFORM NEEDED.

Gov. Parks's advocacy of real budget law IS based on actual needs. The present system is use less It may be worse than useless for it has the appearance of estimates made by the officials for the needs of the government, institutions, etc In fact it is simply a compilation of what each official would like to have No attempt is made to balance the reouests for money with the antiepated reve- nees or Co disalnin8te between .ne greater needs and he less peed5ai No ore is required under the present lazy to make showing for his estimate So that the Governor or budget board, might make recommendations.
 Under the present budget law each official or de- partment commission is really encouraged to make his demands larger than the necessities with the expectation that they will be cut down by the Legislature There ought to be a budget con- trol-preferably probably, budget board-to recon cile the budget with the expected income, and to hold down to proved needfu requirements the bud geted items. Of course, appeal from the budget board to the Legislature would always be available

Stone Left Glorious Monument.

The of Melville E. Stone, who was buried yesterday in New York will be forever linked with the Associated Press For a generation he worked unceasingly to make it the greatest newsgathering agency in the world It his genius that ex- tended it's outposts to the remote place of the earth So thoroughly does the network of the great CO., opeartive organization the globe that nothing of importance can happen where man has set up communications that it is not known to the Asso- ciated Press
 MT. Stones ambition was not solely to establish system of gathering information for the twelve hundred newspapers members of the Associated Press, but to supply the news without bias or partisan color He wished not to convert, but to inform the millions of readers of Associated Press news. He succeeded brilliantly, and his precepts are the very soul of the agency.
 Without doubt, the rights of more se- cure because of the labors of MT Stone The virtual certainty that news of an event, an under taking or policy will be sent to the four corners of the earth has given rulers Prime Ministers and lesser leaders to pause and consider the re- actions of public opinion
 In the Associated Press Mir. Stone has left a glorious monument It is a memorial more en- during than shaft of marble The structure which he built is set upon foundation so solid that it will last as long as civilization itself
