The drawing, THE Angel Departing
From the Family of Tobias" is in the

The story of Tobias was one Of
Rembrandt's favorite Bible subjects.

S2,9)Q,0D0 salary
UNDER CHALLENGE
Supreme Court Asked to
Pass on ReasonabIeness of
Tobacco Officials Pay.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The Supreme Court was called upon
yesterday to decide whether $4,000, 600
annually Is an exorbitant salary for
the president Of the American Tobacco
Company.
At the same time 1t was asked to de-
termine whether salaries Of from $780,
600 to $l.500.000 Is too much for the
vice presidents of the concern.
Richard r. Rogers. a stockholder
presented the question in challenging
the validity of bylaw adopted by the
stockholders in 1912 under which the
president and five vice presidents OF
that company were voted a percentage
OF net profits remaining after paying
operating and other expenses and divi-
dends on the preferred stock.
Holds Authority Lacking
Rogers contended the stockholders
had no authority under the charter to
adopt such bylaw. declaring that
authority was In the hands of the di-
rectors, and insited the high court
should consider the reasonableness OF
the compensation being paid the presi-
dent and vice presidents
The second circuit court Of appeals
at New York held the bylaw valid
and questions from the bench developed
that the reasonableness of the compen-
sation paid the officers had not been
decided by the lower courts.
Nathan L. Miller, counsel for the
company, insisted the stockholders
were the sole judges of the compensa-
ton to be paid their officers and that
the high court should not interpose.
Warranted BY Services
While President Hill OF the company
under the bylaw had received an ad-
ditional $4,000 compensation in 1890
Miller asserted the value Of the services
rendered by him as shown by the in
crease in the earnings of the company
that year was. in the Judgment of the
stockholders, ample to warrant 1t. The
stockholders, Miller said, were always
in a position to change the bylaw at
any Of their meetings.

FARM WOODLANDS SUFFER
FROM NEGLECT

Heavy current drain upon the
farm woodlands for fuel, building
and fencing material, and other for
est products for use on the farm or
for cash sale has brought landown-
ers and foresters face to face with
the problem of replacement of trees,
according to the United States Forest
Service.
A survey of farm woodlands in re-
lation to wood production and graz
ing conducted by the Contra. States
Forest Experiment Station at Co
lumbus, Ohio, shows rapid shrink
age in the area and quality of re-
naming farm woods. Reports from
forest workers in many States of the
South and East indicate that there
has been comparatively little re-
placement of trees removed in the
last few years.
The farm woods are helping not
ably in building, repair. and con-
struction on the farm" says W. r.
Nation, extension forester. 'In
some sections of the South, local
woods products are practically the
only materials used for farm build

at an increasing rate since 1929.
The stress of family need has

telephones used for inter-departmental
activities, but innumerable calls are
made throughout the city and to out

With the initial organization of

"He careth for you

TT is related of christian" in
1.-THE Pilgrims Progress" that he
- began his journey to the Celestial
City bearing on his back great bur-
den, but that it rolled away from him
when he had gone far, enough to be-
hold the saving love of Christ. AS we
journey through this earthly expert
ence, it seems sometimes as If we,
too, were weighted with heavy bur-
den which we feel it is our duty to
carry, although it greatly impedes
our progress. What relief 1t would
be to get rid of this incubus, to learn
that we may pursue our way unen-
numbered, and find all our needs
abundantly supplied so long as we do
not wander from the right path!
"Cast thy burden upon the Lord,
and he shall sustain thee" said the
Psalmist Many instances of this sus-
tanning love, experienced in ancient
times, are recorded in the Bible, and
many more might be recorded in our
own day; for those who obey the
Scriptural command, Humble your
selves therefore under the mighty
hand of God, casting all your
care upon him; for he careth for
you," are slearning that God does
care for His creation.
Christian Science is teaching many
a one to undo the heavy burdens OF
care and anxiety by gaining a clear
understanding of what God really is.
On page ass of Science and Health
with Key to the Scriptures" Mary
Baker Eddy writes, God is incorpo-
real, divine, supreme, infinite Mind,
Spirit, Soul, Principle, Life, Truth,
Love-" AS we become conscious of
the sall-embracing, all-sustaining di-
vine Mind, which is always present
everywhere, the nature of which is
wholly loving, just, and true, we lose
the fear of being crushed by oncom-
ing evils. So we become drawer, for
on every side we see evidences of the
presence Of good. Perhaps we had
long ago been taught that God is
Love, and now we can prove it. Even
human parents would not willingly
burden their children. Can the hui
man be more loving than the divine?
Is not God the source of all real
love? Man cannot he more just, more
loving, than his LIaker. Cast your
burden, all your care, upon Him, di-
vine Love, "for he careth for you"
What is our special burden? Is it
one of anxiety for our business, fear
for its future and for that of our
staff, our employees? Let us cast all
our care upon divine Mind, for divine
intelligence supplies us from day to
day with the justice. honesty, re-
sourcefulness, wisdom, courage, and
opportunity which we need. Truth

the largest Office building of its kind
