Lesson on Sunday, August
IL, in all Churches of Christ, Sci
enlist. Golden Text: II will pour
water upon him that is thirsty,
and floods upon the dry grounds: I
will pour my spirit upon thy seed,
and my blessing upon thine off
spring" (Isaiah 44:3). Among the
citations which comprised the Les
son-Sermon was the following
from the Bible: God is a Spirit !:
and they that worship him must
worship him in spirit and in truth,
John 4-24). The Lesson-Sermon
also included the following pas
sages from the Christian Science
textbook, Science and Health with
Key to the Scriptures" by Mary
Baker Eddy: Strangely enough,
we ask for material theories in
support of spiritual and eternal
truths, when the two are so an
tagonistic that the material
thought must become spiritualized
before the spiritual fact is attain
ed. So called material existence
affords no evidence of spiritual ex-
istence and immortality. Sin, sick
ness, and death do not prove mans
entity or immortality. Discord
can never establish the facts of
harmony. Matter is not the vesti-
bule of Spirit" (pp. 355-356:32-8)

if they have found no cases in
their vicinity to report this condi-
tion to her. This week she has
been investigating conditions at
the aims houses in the State with
view of obtaining lists of the in
mates who are eligible for this
pension. Mrs. Walls said that she
expects to have complete report
on the entire State by September
1. She also suggested that appli-
cants mail her the name and ad-
dress of their minister so that she
may get in touch with the. clergy
man. ''The final investigation will
not be made known publicly" she
said. 1T is very rigid, and it will
no doubt sift out the unworthy
ones. I am very glad to receive
letters from some ministers stat
ing: [ have more applications, but
l find them unworthy and I have
thrown the names out. This is the
only true spirit in which to carry
on this work. It is well to keep
in mind that the Legislature will
not refuse to finance a reasonable
amount for the old-age pension in
1881, if we sift out the unworthy
ones, she declared.

EFFICIENCY BY FARMERS
PRAISED BY |. j. TABER
NATIONAL GRANGE MASTER
SEE AGRICULTURE ADVANCE
Lauds Governor Robert p. Robin
son, Treasurer of The National
Grange, as One of Best Advisers


Grange, as One of Best Advisers
The efficiency of the present day
farmers, a fact which is not realiz-
ed by many laymen, was the key
note of the speech delivered
Thursday afternoon by L. j. Tab
er, master of the National Grange
before the members of the New
i Castle County Pomona Grange at
Centreville. MrTaber entitled his
address, agricultural Progress. /"
Farm efficiency during the last de
;cade has increased more than ma
terial efficiency in the rate of pro-
duction," he declared. He explain
ed this by stating that the output
per man for farmers is IA per cent
above the average output per man
of other industries. The food sup
ply has more than kept pace with
the population yet the number of
/ farmers has declined, he pointed
out Agriculture has made pro-
gress in breed improvements, seed
f, improvements and mechanical
equipment, he asserted, illustrat-
ing this statement by speaking of
the new cotton picker which has
been evolved in Texas and which
picks as much cotton in a day as
20 men formerly could by hand. In
discussing economic progress Mr..
Taber said that agriculture as a
whole had not been receiving an
increased net income, due to lack
of organization and poor market
ing methods. He believed that the
new Federal Farm Board and
marketing act are steps in the
right direction. He said that the
Grange did not get all it wanted
in the farm relief bill but the de
benture program advocated by the
Grange will be transferred to the
tariff. The master of the Nation
al Grange was hearty in his praise
for the new Farm Board He
stated that in character and abil-
ity the new board gives confidence
to all. After a short discussion
of the marketing act, Mr.. Taber
went on to say that the Grange
would seek to aid the farmers by
organizing new Oranges and
strengthening the old ones. Since
it commended the tariff and de-
benture program there has been
growth of enthusiasm in every
Grange State, he declared Before
closing his address Mr.. Taber
praised former Governor Robert
P. Robinson, who is treasurer of
the National Grange, as one of
the best advisers in the grange
organization.

Over 100 members of the clergy
in Delaware have made surveys of
their districts seeking deserving
poor men and women who are
eligible to share in Alfred I. du-
Points pension fund. Their re-
ports have been forwarded to Mrs.
Laura G. Walls, of Lincoln City,
who is compiling this list for Mr..
dupont, in order that he may fl
nancially assist those over 65
years of age. Mr.. DUPONT has
stated that he expects to carry out
the provisions of the old age pen
sion bill which was defeated at the
last legislature until the next as
sembly session when State aid will
again be sought to continue this
work. Mrs. Walls said there are
some ministers in the State who
have not as yet forwarded their
reports and that she is anxious to

Something to DO
CAME OF MASK.

A CCORDNG to the principle of the masked
face, the portion of the face around the
eyes is the key to the identity of the person.
1t is very difhcult to recognize your friends II
they are masked ana clothed in such way that
you must depend upon identification for the
remainder of the face.
Hang a wire across the room, and fasten an
old sheet or several newspapers pinned to
getller to the wire, so that it nearly reaches
the floor. Cut an opening in this screen, just
the size of a mask, and on about level with
the eyes of the average person. This slot
should be rather low for the shorter persons
The taller people can stoop SO that their
eyes appear at the slot.
The audience is furnished with sheets OF
paper and pencils. Some one is stationed be-
hind the screen so that each person appearing
at the screen will be known to this person.
AS the first person appears at the screen, the
other announces Number One" from behind
the screen. The Subject" must stand at the
screen about 30 seconds and then the next
subject appears at the screen, and is an
nounced as Number Two" The audience lists
the numbers on their sheet of paper, and
opposite each number writes the name of the
person which they think is correct. At the
end of the stunt the announcer steps from be-
hind the screen and anpources the number
and the correct person after each. If quite
number appear at the screen, it win be diff
hcult TO guess all the names correctly.

MALAY Bride 5 Teeth Filed

TN Malayland when a girl is ii she's consid-
cred grown up, so she gets married and has
her teeth filed.
The MaIays have queer ideas Of beauty. 1t
isn't enough to them that girl should have
an expensive wedding gown, all embroidered,
and that she should have Jewels about her neck,
but she must have her teeth filed, for this is
to them the final touch of beauty.
On the day before her wedding the filing
takes place. The teeth are filed down to a
third a fourth, or sometimes even a smaller
fraction of their usual length. According to our
ideas this makes wreck of the prettiest
mouth, but the Ma1ays don't think so.
All the time the filing is being done friends
and relatives are gathered in the house feast
ing and celebrating. If the poor young bride
groans, nobody can hear her, anyway, above the
music of the feast in the next room.
The teeth are filed and Clipped with files of
steel and rasps of steel-like Sumatran stone.
1t takes about an hour to complete the job.
After it's over the gums swell up and the mouth
becomes very sore so the bride doesn't feel like
having very much fun at her wedding feast.
Three days before the marriage the bride has
her hair cut short across the forehead to form
a little narrow fringe. Then her hngernails
are stained red. This is supposed to be very
fashionable for young brides.

Hozc to Make Odd
MkQgraphs

MICK NICHOLS, the artist who draws the
Peter Pen picture every week, came into
the ONCE the other day and said: Want to
see trick?" We said we did and Nick then
asked for a piece of paper and q pen. He
folded the paper once, unfolded it SO as to
show the crease down the middle, and wrote
his name on the line where the paper had
been folded. The top picture shows you how
it looked. Then, while the ink was still wet,
Nick folded the paper again down the same
crease and pressed it hard. And then, when
he had unfolded the sheet he showed us the
funny figure you see In the bottom i1lustra-
ton.
It is an easy trick and every. one can do 1t
and have lot of fun doing these autographs.
Just do as Nick did. Write your name In ink
Evening star., 1929-06-30

on the crease line and fold the paper at once
before the ink becomes dry. 1t is best to use
a smooth piece of paper rather than rough
sheet for the latter absorbs the ink too quick
ly. The ink must be wet when you fold the
paper.
Inkographs can also be made of ink blots
to produce curious designs. Instead of writing
your name on the crease, place small drop of
ink directly in the fold and fold the paper with
your. fingers travelling lengthwise of the crease.
Be sure TO use only small ink blot
