Born Too Soon.

Born Too Soon.
Mr.. Shakespeare turned out villains by
the dozen,
But, although he was the master OF
his art,
Scarce a rascal he created
BY environment was gated
To fulfill proper Villains evil part.
For the Bard lived out his life and
wrote his dramas
In what now appears dim and dis
tant time:
He'd have been more celebrated,
If, old Bill. he'd only waited,
For the type that knows the art Of
modern crime.
Caesars death might have been vastly
more dramatic
Were it pictured in these more dra-
matte years
That great noble Romans killing
Could not fail to be more thrilling
II entrusted to the hands Of racketeers.
Hamlet would not run a saber through
Polonius,
While he voiced a light but quite un-
pleasant scott:
He'd have just dispatched vassal
Who was loafing round the castle
For a pair of handy lads to bump him
off

Sunshine and Shadow Old
and True to Life.
BY FLORENCE LA GANKE.

To-day we have an old, old pattern.
1t has been called Sunshine and
Shadow. You'll see why, In just mo-
ment. But first, I want to give credit
to Mrs. Doyle of Missouri, who sent in
this pattern"
Nancy was sharing her good fortune
with other members Of the Nancy Page
Quilt Club. They met weekly to piece
quilts. to compare patterns, to share
neighborhood gossip.
Their neighborliness was shown by
the fact that they were willing to share
cerished patterns with their fellow quilt
makers.
This Sunshine and Shadow quilt Is
so called because one-half OF 1t Is made
from dark material, one-half is made
from light material and the small
square in the center of each block Is
The design as shown In today's pa
per represents but one-Quarter Of a full
block.
Be sure to do what the Nancy Page
Quilt Club members did-send for a
direction leafet which contains life
size patterns and a diagram for putting
the pieces together.
The life-size pattern makes no seam
allowances, so In cutting the materials
you must be sure to allow one-quarter
inch on all sides.
The finished block when pieced into
the quilt is IL inches square.
The four dark blocks meet In the
center. using the lighter portion-rep-
, resenting the sunshine-on the outer
most part Of the block.
Study the diagram on the direction
leaflet carefully to show you how the
blocks are Joined.
This quilt may be made into an all
over pattern or each Of the 12-inch
squares may be joined to a neighbor
with a strip Of white.
Be sure pieces are cut straight and
true from color-fast material.

TIME FOR REFLECTION.

While the temporary breakdown of the Disarma- ment Conference brings about serious crlsls III international affairs and cannot but discourage those who had hoped for a sweeping agreement among the great powers that would put halt to the armament race and free the peoples of the world from the pressure of financial burdens involved, there IS ground for hope that sanity will be enthroned again before the conferees on October 26 Ger manys withdrawal from the Geneva meeting, her notice of withdrawal from the League of Nations and her attitude toward re-arming as evidenced m her demand upon the signatories of the versailles Treaty, present dark picture.
 Germany defiant and standing alone even though surrounded by powerfully armed na- tions unfettered by membership in the Disarmament Conference is Germany free to rearm in earnest. The only visible of preventing it would be a preventive war" France does not want to start any war of prevention Great Britain most cer- tainly doesn't want that or any other kind of war Even Hitlerized Germany, unless it has progressed great deal farther in it's alleged secret military preparations than even France claims, does not want a WAT at present at any rate, and certainly not q conflict that would end it's military power before it has been developed.
 The next week of delay ought to enable the conferees to find some way out of the mpasse It may not now be possible for the Conference to agree upon any. such broad disarmament plan as had been the ambition of President Roosevelt and hoped for by the whole world But it is not impossible that it may succeed in patching up truce in Europe that will carry through long enough for the disarmament issue to be reopened with brighter prospects of progress.
 If it does not, Europe will again become house of madness with all nations wing for armed supremacy in a manner that will make the years prior to 1914 seem tame and end in conflict that will dwarf the titanic World War from 1914 to 1918

RELIGION SURVEYS ITSELF.

yscligionists alive to the serious problems con- fronting the church today have worried long and considered nightly the apathetic attitude of young men toward the church. Many reasons for this apathy have been advanced, but most of them have had a common fault in that they have failed to take into account the opinion and points of view of the young as revealed in personal inter views.
 It is true that surveys have been conducted university and college students-surveys that have been of value Yet these studies have neglected non-college youths and men of past-college age.
 Now, however, efforts are to be made in various cities under the auspices of such organizations as the Y. M. c. A. to learn from selected groups of young outside of educational institutions what, If anything. they think is wrong with religion why they do not attend church What is planned, it is said by those drawing up questonnaires for the religious clinic is not evangelistc campaign but clear statement of the reasons" why the young contacted do not attend church and their objections to the present definition of religion.

How to Drink Beer.

 It was agreed that the alcoholic percentage of beer

. .EISURE TIME
 ACTIVITIES IS
 DISCUSSED NOW
Mrs. Fohn-Hansen Appears Before Douglas Island
 Women's S Club

In a most enjoyable and infor- native talk, Mrs Lydia Fohn. Hansen discussed the use of leis- ure time, among other topics, al the Douglas Women's Club meet ing last night. Mrs. A. J. Galoe and Mrs. E. E. Engstrom were hostesses for the club with the meeting at the home of the lat 1 ter.
 "The Home Maker has more and more leisure time" Mrs. Fohn- Hansen began, and the problem is how to use that time for the greatest pleasure and advantage Much depends on how children are educated"
 Most people do little of the ere ative have little interest and in- clination, lack stimulus to com plete something along the lines of creative arts, continued Mrs Fohn-Hansen. Our grand-mothers were constantly making things with their hands, but with the advent of machines, there is so little handicraft in this modern age.
 Nc Excuse For likeness
 According to Grand Duchess Marie of Russia in an article in the Readers Digest, there is no excuse for idleness; neither in firmity nor old age should prevent people from having some hobby or interest outside the family.
 Mrs. Fohn- Hansen explained that many children have as their only recreation the movies which is a means of getting away from real life for them. There is need of things of interest in the commun- ity aside from the commercial en- tertainment; m any communities have their own orchestras, glee clubs, dramatic clubs and play ground equipment. In Alaska these things are even more lm- portant where there are not the outside contacts, such as the de- partment stores, university cours- es, and concerts. Alaska Club Work
 Mrs Fohn- Hansen told what other clubs in Alaska are accom- plishing, gave some suggestions for club programs, and passed out some bulletins of interest to the home maker.
 Mrs. Charles Holmer and Mrs. Hugh Cochran will be hostesses for the November club meeting at the home of the former.
 Following the business meeting and program, the club members played a few hands of bridge, af- ter which the hostesses served de- licious refreshments. During re- treatments, pile of packages were brought in, which proved to be shower gifts for Mrs. Hang mar Kronauist. The gifts included a variety of dainty and useful ar l tic1eS.
