Dr. s. Parkes Cadman Says America
 Must Show the World How to Be Just and Merciful In Talk Here
Noted Brooklyn Pastor Declares Government Must
 Apply Bible to Modern, Brutal Life of Present. /: Believes Democracy Has Made Vast Strides.

the government should do now, he said, was 10 apply the Bible to the brutal modern life the average American is leading.
 He strengthened his statements by referring to the settling of Penn sylVania under William Penn, of Maryland under John Calvert, first lord of Baltimore and Virginia,
 Shaft at K. K. IA.
 And" he roared as the audience shifted uneasily, T would point out to any benighted Ku Kluxcr that the first state in America where re- ligion was free was settled and gov erned by John Calvert, the first Lord of Baltimore, a Catholic!
 Like Brice, the British political scientist, l would point out that the power that shapes our ends, in 1 America, has been religion and democracy Brce says that never has the American people been call ed upon to make a decision which 1 they made wrongly"
 Men were the rulers of the world, pr. Cadman asserted when he re- i ferred to the 18th century in a lengthy interlude. But, although men were rulers then, no historian of the present day speaks of those stirring times without an clement of contempt creeping into his voice.
 Women Have Usurped Throne
 "Yes," the good Dr. commented ! .lt.r are lost now. Women have usurp- ed the throne. We are wet rOoters moulting in a barnyard.
 But the 18th century," Dr. Cad man continued, made possible the America of today. They were great men in England in those times What meat did they eat and what paralysis has fallen on us? They have handed to us the keys to 6 paradise whose doors we have beer unable to unlock"
 The bigness of Q nation means nothing, he said. A microbe is more dangerous than a planet because 6 microbe is alive and a planet is dead
 America is idealistic in conCep. ton but realistic in practice.

; Since Ramsay Macdonald and Herbert Hoover have lately discuss ed naval parity between England land these United States, vast strides have been made in the advance ment Of democracy. Fat, iovial Cupids are about to drop into the American scene, and the state as set forth by Emanuel Kant, the meticulous German of Koenigsburg, lis just around the corner despite the .machinations of Europe's inner cir 'cle of cognoscenti and Oswald Spengler, their leader.
 <, This is what the Rev. Dr. s. ,Parkes Cadman, preacher St the Brooklyn church of Christ and re Hgious arbiter for the National Broadcasting company, told mem- bers Of the New Britain Common wealth club and their friends last evening at the First Church of Christ. About 1000 people attend ed the meeting.
 i, Dr. Cadman was introduced to the audience by Rev. Theodore A. Green, who made few remarks, but called Dr. Cadman the Prince of the Powers Of the Air. Dr. Cad man replied that he believed the Bible often referred to the devil by the same tag.
 Says America Needs God : America owes it 10 the world to fulfill it's mission, Dr. Cadman de- clared. As a state it must learn, and in turn it must show the world, how to be just and merciful. With cut God it cannot do this.
 While the majority mind invari- ably knows what it wants, yet it is mot so sure about that which is good for it, he intimated, rather discount ing in a measure rule by the major ity. At this point he explained the ancient Grecian method of govern ment and showed that it was not q democracy in the full sense of the word but an oligarchy.

 "For the beginnings of the per feet democratic state We must mol go to Plato but rather to Emanue Kant, the German philosopher oi the 18th century, who forecast th@ world state and world peace under democracy" pr. Cadman showed

 The artist, Oscar M. strobel, Jr., of Fl Paso, Tex, immediately had the suitcase placed in the hotel safe and, noting that some of the securities were shares of the National City bank, he notified a friend at that in- stitution.
 A short time later the owner of the suitcase, Frederick Appel of h. dianapolis, appeared and received his property.
 Strobel plans to study in Berlin under scholarship he won in an exhibition sponsored by Baron Frederic Karl Won Koenig Wart- hausen, sportsman and aviator.

one week of grouching and then forgot
it. This morning, as usual. I bought
my favorite paper and grabbed my
regular street car. Two women in the
seat Immediately in front Of me were
exchanging troubles until 1t became
rather competitive. First one would
win and then the other. At the quar-
ter they were even. at the half they
were neck and neck for while. but on
the stretch one had to take the other S
dust. Little Willie was breaking out
again. The husband Of one of them
was suffering from his annual COM
plant. The others cousin flaw down
and go boom and broke an arm. The
people next door to one gave a party
that lasted until o'clock in the morn
ing until they were called up and re-
quested to be quiet. A neighbor across
the street crashed into another's car.
A laundry failed to send back two
sheets. Ones maid got sassy and quit
cold
I'm the seat behind me, two men
were discussing trouble. One Of them
had played the market and had dropped
an amount equal to his annual sa;ary.
The other panned' the boss. BY the
time reached the office l had become
so saturated with others troubles that
was mentally unfit to begin a days
work. Therefore, I am in favor of a
complaint week. Let everybody get
together and make it success. If we
could all simply unload our difficulties

The modern drug store has become
an intriguing place in the past few
years. Not so long ago it was an es-
tablishment where liniments, plasters
and prescriptions composed the stock on
hand. The present-day pharmacy sells
everything but wallpaper All is not
profit, however. For example, most
drug stores keep small supply of
stamps on hand for the convenience
OF customers. In one of them a GUS
toner approached the proprietor and
asked for one two-cent stamp. He got
it. Another customer, standing nearby,
was reminded that he needed some
stamps and would the druggist sell him

that he had that many, but. by ex-

supply.

double or triple banding for skirt neck
and sleeves. Three for the skirt, two
for sleeves and one for neck. It will
be found by leaving of the final leaf or
a spray that the vine can be continued
easily.
A paneled effect. suggesting princess
frocks, can be had by running two
lengths of the vine from neck to hem
Space them a few inches apart, each
equally distant from the lengthwise
center of the dress. In this panel sep
arate flowers, with occasional leaves,
may be worked, or the panel may be
left plain. The arrangement pictured
about the hem may be continued about
the skirt outside of the panel. If pre-
ferred the vine traceries may be used
instead in single or triple bands.
Another excellent arrangement of the
motifs is to embroider them in groups
of three. the center one long, with one
short motif each side. This cuts down
the amount of stitchery, yet the artistic
effect remains.
Embroidery cotton or linen Is pref
cradle to silk for the stitchery. The
flowers may be worked in satin stitch,
French knots or laZy-daisy stitch, with
the leaves in satin stitch and stems
either outlined or in briar stitch. Or
the entire embroidery may be in out
line, though this is not such popular
type OF embroidery as few years ago.

WINTERTIME
BY d. C. PEATTIE.

During the height of the influenza
epidemic, doctors urged people TO walk
to work. to stay outdoors all they could
and take their recreation in Winter
sports and Winter hiking.
I wonder that doctors do not CAM
paign more earnestly for outdoor life
in Winter as means of battling
against the ordinary colds. When
have been sensible enough to keep out
in the country all Winter and to get
out part Of every day have escaped
sickness altogether in Winter. When
have overworked and kept constantly
indoors 1 have paid for 1t about as
heavily, financially and in health, as /
care to.
A newspaper report says that bac-
terra have been found living IN pre-
Cambrian rocks (the oldest on the
earth) presumably unchanged since this
old globe was first in condition to
have any life at all. These bacteria
are not disease-bearing: they merely
live on raw materials. just as there are
soil and water bacteria also harmless
to us. The bacteria were probably the
fist things alive on the earth, for they
can endure intense cold. intense heat,
lack of sunlight. even. In some cases,
lack of air. For these reasons they may
be the last things alive on the earth
when We are an ice-cold, rnotionless
ball. with all our atmosphere drifted
away.
The biologist should think Of Winter
as time when bacteria hold high
revels. And once having grasped this
idea. any one can see the Importance Of
making the most Of every bit OF SUM-
shine that We get in Washington in
Winter.
How fortunate you are, when you
come to take exercise, II you are q
naturalist. A Winter walk even in the
city Is not merely so much boresome
exercise, to be taken for the sake of
health, If every dead weed stalk, every
bud on the park trees, every crows
print in the field snow, every group Of
starlings in town, is familiar,
friendly face.
