No RECOGNITION

TUST what this statue might be
~ expected to inspire me with I'm
not so sure. The existence of such
monument would cut confound-
eddy into my working time. 1t
might even interfere with poker.
Always you could expect to find
me hanging around the marble base
and waiting to hear what passersby
had to say about the fellow on top.
Perhaps I would be disappointed
in that. Statues do not inflame the
imagination of the American public
very much. I seem to see two old
ladies with a little boy. They are
showing him the sights of New
York.
Already he has been to the aqua
rum, one of the nice old ladies
stoops down and reads aloud from
the nameplate, Howard Brown,
conductor of 1t Seems to Me-"
"Who?" says the little boy.
The first old lady looks at the
second, but there is no CLEAN of
recognition in either eye. Who's
the funny MANI" insists the little
boy. Eat your bun," say the two
old ladies in chorus and drag him
away.
OF course, if the sculptor put me
on horseback I might look more i'm
portant. But maybe not and any
how the horse wouldn't like it if
by any chance this was life-size
figure.
I guess it would be better to have
both feet on the ground. Also I
suggest to the nameless sculptor
that he do me fully clothed and
with my trousers neatly creased.
There's no point in sticking out for
naturaliSm.

THERE was a time-and 1t is
l. not more than a quarter CEN
tury ago-when the vast majority
of the American people subsisted
on a diet which consisted largely
of lean meat, potatoes, coffee, strip,
and a few cereals.
AS the prosperity of our country
increased and as people began to
give greater and greater study to
the science Of diet, there have been
tremendous changes in the food
supply.
When a person has more money
to spend for food, he does not buy
more food, but he commences to
vary his diet.
The fact of the matter is a per-
son can not eat more food. The
most that any person can take into
his body a day and get along COM
fortably is about $500 calories.
There was g. time when practically
all Americans ate $500 calories. To-

TONIGHT'S eclipse begins at
Il 9:42, standard time. At that
time the moon will enter the Pc
numbra.
Other features Of the eclipse take
place after midnight. That is why
astronomers consider the eclipse as
occurring officially on April ID.
The moon will enter the umbra
at 11:20 p. m. The middle of the
eclipse occurs at 11:58 p. m.
The moon will leave the umbra at
1926 a. M 1t will leave the PEN
umbra at 2:13 a. m.
An eclipse today is an interest
ing scientific event. But there was
a time when eclipses we're hailed
with superstitious fear and dread.
One of the most famous eclipses
of the moon occurred on March /,
1904, when Christopher Columbus
was on the Island of Jamaica.
The natives had refused to sup
ply Columbus with food and he and
his men were faced with starva-
ton.
Columbus, knowing that the
eclipse was coming, sent word to
the natives that unless food was
forthcoming, he would blot out the
moon.
The eclipse started on schedule
time and the natives were greatly
worried. They brought the food
which Columbus wanted and begged
him to restore the moon.
Columbus, knowing that the
eclipse would take a certain length
of time, said that he would think it
over.
When the time for the eclipse to
end errived. he came out Of his
hut and told the natives he had
decided to restore the moon.

IMMORTAL MONEY

Read Mark 12:41-44. Memory
verse: This poor widow cast in
more than they all" mark 12:43)
MEDITATION
This poor woman's gift was great
because it represented so much of
herself. We in America are often
accused of thinking too much Of
money. Rather the reverse is true.
If we thought more of 1t we should
spend it for more august purposes.
Money represents life; it is life; it
is life and labor done up in conven-
lent packages to store and use. AS
a man holds his wages in his hand
he may well say-"This is a part
Of me-" Spending money, then, be-
comes as august matter as spend
ing life. We often say that a per-
son can not take his money with
him when ne dies. Why not? One
can not, Of course, carry coin with
him when he departs, but ne can
so invest that coin in the souls of
men that it will be immortal as
they. Whether we shall take our
money with us depends upon how
we use it.
PRAYER
Give unto us such right notion
and esteem Of all earthly privileges
and enjoyments that we may never
be brought under the power Of any
Of them, but may constantly use
them to Thy glory. Amen

What Is "MaImaison?"

A chateau near Versailles, France,
which was the home Of Josephine de

Napoleon Bonaparte. In 1909, when
Napoleon divorced Josephine, she
occupied Malmaison again. The his

the thirteenth century, when it OBJ

Shadow

A N eclipse Of the moon is caused
IA by the fact that the earth
casts a great cone-shaped shadow
into space. This shadow has an
average length of 895, 900 miles.
Because the earth's distance from
the sun varies, the length of the
shadow also varies. At its minimum
length, the shadow is $4,000 miles
shorter than the average. At maxi
mum, it is $4,000 miles longer.
This cone-shaped shadow is
known technically as the umbra. 1t
is surrounded by a region in which
sunlight is partially cut off. This
outer and lighter shadow region is
known as the penumbra.
An eclipse Of the moon is caused
by the moon entering the shadow
Of the earth. The eclipse begins
when the moon enters the pen
umbra.
It's brilliance then is dimmed only
slightly. When the moon enters
the umbra, it then begins to disap-
pear from view.
AS the moon goes deeper and
deeper into the shadow, less and
less of its disc remains in view But
if the eclipse is a total one, a
strange phenomenon takes place.
at the time of totality the moon is
slightly visible with a dull cop
perry color
This is because, while the moon
no longer receives light from the
sun, it receives reflected light from
the earth. 1t might be said that
the moon was made visible by
"earth-shine."
Tonight's eclipse, however, is only
a partial one. At its maximum
point, only 10 per cent of the
moons disc will be in the earth'S
shadow.

M. E. Tracy
Political Leaders Should Not
Be MiSLed By the Fact That
They Haze Been Able to
Dodge Prohibition So Long.
SAYS:

A CCORDING to the Literary Di-
"A gest poll, two-thirds of the
people oppose prohibition in one
form or another.
According to newspaper poll,
two-third,; Of congress favors it.
Admitting the ircompleteness of
both polls, it still is impossible 10
doubt that they reflect existing
opinion with fair degree of accu-
racy.
That being so, we have come to a
pretty pass.
The sentiment in congress no
longer comedies with public opin-
ion, or, to put the situation differ
emily, public sentiment no longer
finds faithful reflection in con-
gresS.
The reason for such unwholesome
situation is not obscure.
The two-party system, of which
We are SO proud, has broken down
with regard to prohibition.
The average American can not be
a loyal Democrat, or Republican,
and express himself on the issue.
No matter which side of it he
takes, he finds his party split, and
when he turns to the other party
he finds it also split.
y =
Must Face the Music
OBVIOUSLY, such state Of
~ affairs can not endure.
The only excuse for political
parties is to furnish means of ex-
preston.
Ultimately, they must align
themselves to fit important issues,
or make room for those that will.
Political leaders should not be
deceived by the fact that they have
been able to dodge prohibition SO
long, for sooner or later, they must
face the music.
All that their shrewd maneuver-
ing has accomplished thus far is to
create corrupt and chaotic condi-
tionS.
To a measurable extent, we have
become inarticulate from a political
standpoint.
Not only that, but we have been
forced to manufacture controversies
and take stands that are not in
keeping with our ideals.
The case of Mrs. Ruth Hanna
Mccormick is an example in
point
A dry, depending on wet con-
stituency for support, she evaded
the prohibition issue by throwing
brickbats at the world court.

WASHINGTON HOLDS
14TH CITY RANKING
San Francisco SuppIants
Buffalo as nth of Major
Cities.

The city Of Washington, with a popu-
Iation Of 4s5,7 16. which is an increase
of IL per cent over 1920 maintained
her position as fourteenth among tho
cities Of more than 100000 1t was
shown in Census Bureau figures made
public last night.
ONLY seven of the SO cities Of more
than 100000 in the 1920 census remain
unreported for 1930-New York, Phila-
delphia, New Orleans, Denver, Column
bus st. Paul and Albany.
The rest of the ratings are fairly well
established and the comparative table
of 1880 and 1920 populations shows
several changes among the leaders,
notably that of Los Angeles, which
jumped from tenth position in 1920 to
fifth in 1880. For the first time Balti-
more forged ahead of Boston.
In 1920, three cities were lmmedi-
ately ahead of Washington, Buffalo,
San Francisco and Milwaukee, in elev-
enth, twelfth and thirteenth positions,
respectively. Milwaukee continues thir-
tenth but San Francisco has sup
planted Buffalo.
Twenty-one new cities have gone
scattering in between the SO cities of
100000 decade ago. They are:
Oklahoma City, Hollywood, San Diego,
Long Beach, Tulsa Jacksonville, Chat
tanooga, Fort Wayne, San Juan, Eliza
beth, Miami, Wichita, Tacoma, Knox
vile, Peoria, South Bend, Somerville,
Utica, Lynn, FL Paso, Tampa.
Lowell, Mass, one of the SO in 1920,
is the lowest on the 1880 list thus far
by a decrease from her 1920 population.
Eight cities not yet reported had a
1920 population which would give them
a chance of entering the 100000 list
in 1880. They are Duluth, Mimi; Erie,
Pa; Flint, Mich; Waterbury, Conn;
Schenectady, N. Y; Canton. Ohio;

never amounted to much as a money

Old man Best bred Reveille Boy from
