son than others for confidence in
the flesh. He was of the stock
of Israel, not a branch or graft
or proselyte shrub. He was of
the tribe Of Benjamin which gave
Israel its first king and always
stood close to the line of Judah.
He had been dedicated to God in
the initiatory Jewish rite and had
proven himself a Hebrew of the
Hebrews. In faith, formality,
and fidelity to the law, he was a
strict Pharisee, ceremonially and
spiritually far outstripping the
materialistic Sadducees. He had
shown his zeal for Judaism by
prosecuting the church at Jeru-
salem which he felt was under
mining and overthrowing the
Mosaic system. Nor did he at
tempt to force upon others what
he was unwilling to do himself,
for, measured by every standard
of righteousness given in the
law, he was blameless.

IN THE NAME OF DEFENSE
(BY BRUCE CANNON

-. Whatever else you may say about naval
armament races, you can't deny that they
: sat least have whimsical illogicallty
(which, if it were not potentially so danger
Gus, would be nothing less than delightful.
A brief survey of the situation as it af-
fects the United States, Japan and Great
Britain will show what we mean.
The United States government takes
some S23S, 100000 to bring its fleet up to
treaty strength. 1t does this, as everyone
knows, because heretofore no effort has
been made to attain treaty strength. The
country has voluntarily maintained a
smaller navy than it is entitled to.
Consequently, as any American naval
expert will tell you, the American fleet
has suffered by comparison with those Of
Great Britain and Japan. Shipyards in
those countries have not been idle. Their
naval strength has not been permitted to
lag.
However the United States no sooner
begins to spend money on its navy than
the authorities of England and Japan wake
up and announce that times are getting
parlous English naval authorities an
nounce that their cruiser strength will be
hopelessly below par as soon as the Ameri-
can program is completed.
In sheer self-defense they have got to
build more ships. The, admiralty experts
even cook up new kind of warship, a
5OOO-ton "sloop" armed with six-inch guns,
which won't come under treaty restrictions
at all.
AS with England, so with Japan. Obvi-
ously the island empire cannot allow the
United States fleet to get too big margin
of superiority. In>the most peaceable man.
ner imaginable, they can do nothing else
than put new keels on the ways. If they
don't, their national security will be threat
sened. .,
So we find the three greatest naval pow
ers on earth beginning good old-fash-
Toned armament race-from the purest
motives of self-defense! .,
Each must spend millions upon millions
of dollars on the race simply because it is
afraid of its neighbors Each one devoutly
believes that one or both of its rivals are
at fault. Each is afraid that one of the
others may get an advantage and then
start a war.
If it weren't so expensive and so danger
Gus, it would be good for fine laugh. .,

CILICIAN BIRTH (Acts 21)
The geographical heritage OF
Saul located him in one of the
great university centers Of the
world. Cilicia was a prosperous
Roman province in the southeast
ern part of Asia Minor. Tarsus
the capital, was situated on boti
sides of the river Cydnus at the
head of navigation a few miles
from the Mediterranean coast
The surrounding country was fer
tile and fruitful and was over
looked by the snow-capped Iaur,
us mountains. 1t was a great
commercial region, being ira
versed by the Roman highway
connecting Syria with the cities
of Southern Europe. 1t was one
of the three great educational
centers of the time, Tarsus sur
passing in some respects the nv
al centers of Athens and Alex
andria.
HEBREW EDUCATION
(Aets 22) -. i
The educational heritage OF
Saul gave him the advantages OF
the best theological training OF
the time. As he entered MS
teens he was sent from Tarsus
to Jerusalem, where he entere'
the best-equipped and most fam
Gus Hebrew COLLEGE of the pc
Rod. The head of the lnstltu-
ton was Gamaliel, who to tins
day is regarded as one OF the
greatest teachers in all the ms
torv of the Jews. Many OF the
hr;Sb+est minds of that era were
trained under his direction. ne
specialized exclusively in Oid
Testament learning. His students
caught his great spirit and be
came likewise Jealous for the
law.
ROMAN CITIZENSHIP
The national heritage of Saul
enabled him to claim the high
est civic privileges Of his day
Citizenship in the Roman empire
was ordinarily secured by pur,,
chase, as in the case of the chief
captain on duty in Jerusalem
but often as reward for mill
tary service and not infrequentlII
as a token of imperial favor. a
Roman citizen could not be I'M
prisoned or subjected to the or
deal of the scourge without trial
and he also had the right OF ap,
neal from any provincial court
to the court of the great service
to him in each of these respects
JEALOUS PHARISAISM
| (Acts 26)
The racial heritage of Saul en-
abled him to become an advocate
and exponent of Pharisaism OF
the strictest type. Following his
student DAYS at Jerusalem, ht
seems to have returned to Tar
sus. But soon after the death Of
Jesus we find him again in Jeru
salem, where his life was an oper
book before leaders and people
What he did during this perlot
is not definitely known, but III
must have held some high eccles
iastical position which gave hin
leadership in the persecution Of
Christians and soon won him

Federal Income Tax Has
Been in Force Since 1913

The federal income tax has been In
force since 1913, the year that the Six
teenth Amendment to the Constitution,
authorizing the income tax, was rati-
fed. In January. 1894. an income tax
bill had been passed by congress, but
It was declared unconstitutional by the
Supreme court in May. 1895. The de-
mand for graduated income tax, ac-
cording to a newspaper writer, came
especially from the farmers of the
West and South. whose argument was
expressed in the platform Of one Of
the third parties: "A graduated In
come tax is the most equitable system
Of taxation, placing the burden Of gov
crnment upon those who can best af-
ford to pay, instead Of laying 1t upon
the farmers and producers and ex-
empting millionaire bondholders and
corporations" During the Civil war
and down to 1872 there was a federal
income tax, levied as war tax. The
minimum tax rate which was imposed
under the various tax laws has been
1 per cent in 1913; 2 per cent In
1915; per cent in 1917; 8 per cent
in 1918; per cent from 1919 to 1928;
2 per cent In 1924; Ia per cent In
1928; per cent in 1882.

Hosiery Workers Charge
NRA Code Undermining

Philadelphia, Pa. (ILNS)-Officers
Of the American Federation Of Hos
iery Workers have called to the at
tention of the NRA and the hosiery
code authority what is considered an
attempt to undermine the hosiery
code.
Plants which engage solely in the
business of dyeing and finishing
hosiery are attempting to set up
code with minimum wage lower than
the minimum for boarders in the
hosiery code.
1t is obvious that hosiery manu-
facture would be induced to aban-
don their own finishing plants and
have work done in outside shops for
less money if a separate conflicting
code should be established.

"cariIlon.

"Carillon" Is derived from the Latin
"quadrilio," four, because these pro-
gressions were played formerly on
four bells. In Thirteenth century
psalter there is an illustration showing
King David playing on row Of four
bells, though this Is probably an orna-
mentation Of the text, rather than the
record of fact. A leading present
day English bellfounder says that to
attain to the dignity Of carlton, a
set Of tower bells must comprise at
least two chromatic octaves-25 bells
Another equally well known founder

two diatonic octaves with eight semi
tones-constitutes a carlton. Sets Of
a lesser number are, according to these
expert rulings, chimes. It may be well
to supplement the last statement by
adding that sets Of five. six. eight, ten
and twelve bells specially fitted and
hung for change ringing are "rlngs"
