only foundation on which we can
erect a truly wholesome and pros
porous community life. Back OF
the material preparation, with
whatever of physical vigor it be-
speaks, we must pull the thrill OF
practiced brotherliness, success
helping unsuccess to better work
and lifting the whole to a worthiei
plane.
The greatness of a community
is not to be found in its buildings
in its thoroughfares, nor in its
commercial prestige, but in the
spirit of its people. That spirit
will be one of sheer materialism, OF
one of unselfishness, according as
the community thinks. For as the
character of an individual is the
sum total of his thoughts, so the
character of a community is the
sum total of the thoughts of the
individuals who make it up.

THE CHURCH AND THE
COMMUNITY

John Fiske, who was neither a
churchman nor a theologian, but
one Of the foremost scientific in
vestigators, said of religion, "No
one can deny that it is the largest
and most powerful fact connected
with the existence of mankind on
earth" AT no time more than at
the present has the wide influence
of the church been more apparent,
at no time the way more clearly
revealed for it to meet its oppor-
tunities and obligations.
Many changes have occurred in
our conception of religion. Our
modern conception allows no room
for the hermits and the solitaires
of olden time. The seeking of in
dividual salvation, in serene dis
regard of the veal of our neigh
bors and fellowmen, is selfish and
wholly inconsistent with the lib
eral religious spirit that is abroad
today. Religion is more than de-
nominational wrangling over fine
points of predestination, the liter
alism of the Scriptures. and the
thousand subtleties of the medic
val theologians. Religion is more
than going to Church on the Sab
bath Day. While religion pro-
vides first for our relationship to
God, we must not forget that it
provides also our relationship to
each other. The religionist of the
present day must think in social
terms, purge himself of ecclesias-
teal hauteur and futile occupa-
ton with theology, and finally
show himself ready to dedicate
himself for practical, unselfish
work in practical world.
The Church is an organization
through which man is permitted
to serve his fellows, for true reli-
gion and service go band in hand.
1t is not the business of the Church
to save itself, but to save the com
munity.
1t is clear then that one of the
first big tasks of the Church is
to cultivate in the community the
spirit of friendliness and cooper
alton, through which each is spur
red ON to greater endeavor. The
problem before us is one of trans
forming, as ii were, the dead
power of bank accounts into the
live power of public benefit, of
bringing to all mankind more
abundant life, and of multiplying
many times the increment of soul
satisfaction.
We are at present only learning
the primer lessons Of social and
community organization. We
must learn how TO build upon the

 In the interest of safety against tuberculosis. pneumonia and other diseases affecting the lungs particularly it is best that people continue to cover up each cough and sneeZe. however.
 When the telephone was in- vented. it constituted for the ma jority of mankind as great a mys- tery as did smallpox. Hence it was not at all strange that the ignorant should believe that dis ease could be transmitted by talk. ing over the telephone wire.
 As long as there are people willing to believe in telepathy, in the evil eye, in witchcraft, and in charms of one type or another there will be people willing to be. lieve that disease is caused by the evil spirit who can fly by magic over vast distances to strike those who are not protected by the proper charma.

MAKING THINGS By Alice Judson Peale

We live in an age in which the processes on which We depend for our way of life are obscured by the evfr increasing complexity of our social organization.
 The city child. especially, sees only the finished product It is quite pos s1ble for him to grow up with no experience whatever of work with materials. In 50 doing he misses one Of the authentic delights of human existence.
 Many schools have a certain amount of craft work which tries to ftll this need. But school hours are short, and two or. perhaps, three hours a week spent at the work shop or studio" do not begin to meet the child's need for this sort of outlet.
 With the approaching end of the school year We begin to make sum- mer plans with our children. If we are staying at home most of the summer We should See to it that our hoy and girl have some genuine in- terest which they can pursue during the vacation period.
 A work bench at which one can build anything from a bird house to boat is. of course, a fine thing. but tools and work bench are not cheap. When such equipment is be- yond our means We can gather to- gether at much less cost the eoujp- men for other types of work. Sheets Of copper, brass. pewter and German silver are available and the tools required 10 work them are simple.

It is always provoking to want to know . thing and try in vain to find 1t out. Peter knew that the 0rebes must have . nest, because, though he often saw Dipper. he never saw Mrs. Grebe with him. Sometimes he saw Mrs. Grebe. but shs was always alone. He never knew which one it was that he saw until he asked. all of which was very amusing to the Grebes. But at last one day he found a way of dis ttnguishing between them. He mo- ttcsd that there was a feather miss ing from Mrs. Grebes right wing. After that he could always tell one from the other.
 Peter tried watching Mrs. Greb. to See where she went. She always went in the same direction and Pe- ter couldn't follow her. Have you guessed what direction that was? It was down. Whenever she bade Peter go0dby. she dived and that was the last Peter saw of her. He knew that she swam under water, but when she finally came up it was always where Peter couldn't see her. Pe- ter had become so discouraged that ne had about made up his mind that he wouldn't look any more for that home of the Grebes. Then one morning, quite by chance. he dis. covered Mrs. Grebe. Peter had come down into the swamp at the head of the Smiling Pool during the night. You know Peter likes to travel abou: St night. At daybreak Peter was sitting under some ferns close 10 the place where the Laughing Brook enters the Smiling Pool. He was looking about idly and suddenly he fnade discovery. Sitting on one o: Inc many little mounds of dea l rushes and weeds he discovered one or the Grebes. He. felt sure it was Mrs. Grebe and in this he was rjgh,
 wy goodness. thought Peter, can that be her nest?" No wondei couldn't find 1t. I wonder if it really Is. I'll scare her and see what she1I do. If that is her nest and there are any eggs in it, I ought f, be able to see them from here So suddenly Peter thumped as only Pc fer can. Instantly Mrs. Grebe wa. orr that nest and disappeared under water. There had been a counJe of quicker movements of her head q, she went off. but that was all. Peter then stretched up as high as he could. but he could see no eggs. In. deed. he could sec nothing that look cd like . nest. It was just a mass of dead reeds and grass matted 10. eether. There were several otbe, similar masses scattered about. No if didn't look at all like 2 nest. Pc. ter vas disa popinted. Still, he feJ, that 1t must be the nest
 T wish l liked the water better
 thought Peter. "If liked the wato, better l wouldn't mind suinmius out there to find out But ! don't like the water. so ] guess I'H jus, etay here. lf that is Mrs. Grehe' nest she will come back 10 it sooner

or later. Of course. she may have been just sitting on that place."
 So Peter settled himself to wait in patience. He could hear RedwinE the Blackbird. He always did like to listen to the song of Redwing. Presently Redwing came flying along and alighted on that little mound that Mrs. Grebe had been sitting on. He stood there for a few moments, after which he flew over to where Mrs. Redwing vas sitting on her nest in the alders. not far from where Peter was sitting.
 That settles it." said Peter with a sigh. If that had been Mrs. Grebe's nest with eggs in it. Red wing wouldn't have sat there 50 un- concerned. He didn't see anything unusual there and there is nothing the matter with Redwina's eyes. Oh. dear, I was sure had found that nest. We'll l guess I'll go home 10 the dear Old Briar-patch.'
 That is where Peter made mis- take. He should have remained right where he was. He would have seen something

Paris, May 22.-NeVer was tnere such a grave matter or discussion where women gather together as the question of the longer skirt. 1t is extraordinary what a world of con- traversy this detail has caused in fashion circles and apparently the matter is not yet settled.
 We have chung 50 hard and so long to the short skirt in the be- lief that it imparted to us all an air of perpetual youth that it took a man ot daring like Jean Patou to tndeavor to change the order of things. He, like few others of the leading couturiers. had ac- customed women for several sea- sons to longer lines. but until now these efforts had always been con- fined to evening dresses and even then, the legs from just below the knee were seen through the sheer materials used. In his present col lection, Jean Patou frankly low CTS the hem of all but his sports
 
 of warning and. what is more. his collection has been voted one of the outstanding ones of the sea- son!
 Short Skirt Doomed:
 Women, however. are born imi- tators = in their dress, at all events. Let one or two of them who are recognized as leaders of fashion adopt the between the knee and ankle" length and 1t will not be long before we all follow suit. It would not be an inspos sibe thing. either. to hear the short skirt spoken of with scorn next season. The fact remains that normally long skirt is un' doubtedly more becoming to ths ma jority of us. however much wt resent being told so.
 Another feature of the new fashions that is causing mucl comment is the. form-fitting prin cess style that all the couturieri are showing. Women see in thi' style an omen in the form of [ waist restricting corset, and refuse to be compelled to wear anything 10 old fashioned. AS a matter O fact, most Frenchwomen wea' some kind of support, even thu slimmest, and that is all the new fashions would ever need. Ther' are many women who were no very slim but who managed t' hide the fact. thanks to the low waist and fullness of dresses of [ few seasona ago. But the new swathed hipline and formfittinl bodices be:ray ever curve of th' body and women are torn between the desire to possess one of thos' delightfully."- new frocks. and thu i necessity of correcting their sil houette.

In the middle ages the most dread disease for mankind in general was smallpox. So common was the con- dition, that the unusual person in the community was the one without the pits and marks of smallpox upon his face.
 Today the person who carries about such scars is monument to the ignorance and stupidity of his parents who refused 10 permit him to be Naccinated. Smallpox is preventable disease. Since the work of Edward Jenner. 1t has been definitely established that vaccination confers protec- ton in the vast ma ajority of cases.
 Esse ntially. vaccination is n means of giving the person mild attack Of the disorder. An ob- servation made by . dairymaid to Edward Jenner namely. that she could not get smllpox because she had had cowpox. was the req son for his undertaking 10 develop inoculation against the disease.
 Because man Of the early mid : de ages did not have any idea as to how this disease might be spread from one person to another and because he feared the disea SC SO greatly. he developed strange notions as to the power Of the dis ease to strike in an unusual man. ner: hence the notion developed that smallpox might come through the air.
 In the middle Of the nineteent h century. after Fasteur had made his Fundamental discovery. scien- tis'z began 10 doubt that disease can be transmitted by inc air route. There was time when il vas thought that most of, the in- fectious diseases could pass iron, man to man by this method, Now
