SHOOTING STARS.
BY PHILANDER JOHNSON.

Back to Work-a-Day.
We are travelling on through the high
ways of space,
Where the stars are the signals so
bright;
There are smiles for awhile, which the
tear drops efface
As our heart beats are heavy or light,
We are travelling on through the scenes
that are strange
Mirrored family from times far away;
And We hope, in the course of this
wonderful change,
To get back to the old Work -Day.
It's like the old home that we once
longed to leave
For adventures that Fancy would
paint,
Which taught us too soon to remember
and grieve
For the time that seemed humble
and quaint.
But we're travelling on through the
meteor show'rs
And the fires with fearsone display.
We must wait for the rainbows, and
blossoming bow'rs
TIL we're back to the old Work k-a-Day.

THE TRUE STEWARDSHIP
BY THE RIGHT REV. JAMES Z. FREEMAN. D. D. IL. D,
Bishop Of Washington.

with high conscience assumes q con-
sistent expression of Christian steward
ship his influence is both persuasive
and pervasive.
An incident Of what We have in mind
came under our observation during the
panic Of 1907. A man Of large affairs,
reaching Wall Street on the morning of
the panic, was greeted by q fellow
banker with a word Of deep concern ex-
pressive of the anxiety he felt for the
security Of certain large financial insti-
aside, this high-minded Christian
steward, with no evidence Of concern in
his voice or manner, related to him the
following circumstance: You remem-
Der my chauffeur who has driven me
for several years; he Is a man who is
exceptionally capable and high-minded
During this period I have now and
again spoken to him of my desire to see
him a disciple of Christ. On nv way
down this morning he told me with
deep satisfaction that at last he had
come to the conviction that he must
yield to my suggestion and that he in
tends at an early day to make public
profession Of his faith"
The narrator Of this incident WAS
perfectly calm and unmoved as he told
MS story. Ills astonlshed banker friend
was incapable Of appreciating at the
time the occasion for his calm and un-
perturbed demeanor, but 1t left lasting
impression upon him. The man of large
affairs had evidently found his source
OF satisfaction as well as the source of
his peace in service that contemplated
the well-being of the man who daily
drove him to and from his office.
Here was fine evidence of real
stewardship. After all, a life is more
than creed; a. kindly Christian act
has more converting power than an elo-
quent sermon. No finer tribute was paid
the disciple, Andrew, than that which
relates his personal influence upon
his brother Peter, where 1t is said: "He
brought him to Jesus" The world grows
weary OF an excess of finely phrased
precepts, but it feels with Irresistible
force the consistency Of example. Much,
If not most. of the disorder of our age
grows out of the failure of men and
women who are avowed Christians TO
apply their professed religious conyic-
tions to the needs OF those with whom
they have contact day by day. A re-
vival OF real Christian stewardship
would mean the correction Of many Of
the ills that today are unsettling and
disturbing the lives Of men and women.

ton, but doubtless there viii be q

tion, but doubtless there viii be .
great saving of time.
And time means much to scholars,
as it does to other people. Each tick
OF the clock implies the passing Of so
much of life, and thinkers as q class
have no more than they need OF that
variety of opportunity which is meas
ured in days and hours. Long years
must be spent in preparation and still
other years in checking and revising
first drafts, with the result that the
makers Of books have only limited
period Of creative activity. Any de-
velopment which even in a small way
abbreviates time used In any but the
most truly constructive manner is q
gain about which there may be enthu-
siastic rejoicing.
But electric light in the Bibliotheque
has special symbolic significance. It
may be taken as a sign Of the quality
OF the new scholarship Of Europe. When
Goethe died calling for light, more
light" he summed up the demand of
the thoughtful men and women of his
generation. and his cry has been echoed
by their successors. More light implies
more knowledge. more truth, more
beauty, more happiness in the world.
Scholars are dedicated to such pur-
poses, and each new gain Is but q provo
cation to new endeavors. Life In the
dim past was a dark tangle, and 1t was
the business Of scholars to find and to
disclose its authentic values, its innate
meaning. The quest was pursued by
torch and campfire. by rush light and
candle light, by oil light and gas light
Now at last it is carried on by the
harnessing of the lightning. What fur
ther progress can there be in the SCI
ence of fighting the dark? No one is
qualified to answer dogmatically, but It
is plain that where progress has been,
further progress may be.
But, after all, 1t is the inner light
that really matters, and the inner light
burns brightly today among scholars
as among other men. That is one of
the splendid truths about human char
acter. The darker the night Of life,
the greater the brilliancs Of human
aspiration shining in the shadows. Some
indeed, have said that It
is when circumstances are most dis
couraging, when existence is least pleas
ant that the truest progress is made
Resistance is stirred. and vitality stimu-
lated. Poverty, rather than prosperity,
moves the soul. There may be merit
in the conception. But be that as 1t
may, the thinkers are pressing on,
toiling on. in good times as in i'll, in
undiscouraged quest OF the ultimate
illumination by the achievement OF
which men may become like gods, COM
plete and final masters of a new Eden
in a new earth. That is their function.
They are the seekers for more light.

than 10 per cent of the antimony en-
tering international trade Is Of Chinese
origin For centuries China has been
few years, she has been the sixth larg-
also produced. From time to time a
relatively small tonnage Of high-grade
manganese has been exported.
As an illustration Of the Importance
of tungsten, military men here say
there can be little doubt that the lack
Of 1t In Germany during the latter part
of the World War was one of the fac
tors leading to the German defeat.
u
It Is interesting to note the fact that
tungsten, as well as antimony, is pro-
duced from mines in Southern China,
not far distant from the centers of the
most densely populated areas. More
than SO per cent Of the antimony pro-
duced Is for export. Thus authorities
here think there should be no practical
dificulty in the way Of arranging barter
on a large scale Advocates Of this par
ticular plan point out that 1t would
have one decided advantage In addition
to getting rid Of surplus grain and ac-
curing needed minerals. The minerals
in question are of fairly bulky charac-
ter and their transportation would af-
ford q profit for American shipping.
The Reconstruction Finance Corpora
ton has been considering the formula
tion of a broad program for barter.
This project of exchanging grain prod
ucts with China for minerals Is but one
feature of such a program. It even In
cludes so-called triangular barter-that
Is, an exchange with one country in
order to obtain through it certain
things that o third country has, but for
which we cannot very well bargain with
the third country direct.

Tariff Turmoil in Eurone.

- Like that Of true love, it would ap-
pear that the course of tariff rates
never runs smooth. At any rate,

seven OF the smaller European states
bare three years ago is already headed
for the rocks. 1t is the plan known
as the Oslo tariff convention. concluded
IN 1880 by Norway, Sweden, Denmark
Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxem-
burg and later adhered to by Finland
The Oslo pact was sealed in accord
ance with principles formulated by the
League Of Nations and provided that
the signator% sountries would not in
crease their respective tariffs without
warning to the others and opportunity
given to discuss an agreement.
1t was more than an effort to bind
the seven participating nations in a
customs treaty Of mutual accommoda-
tion, for the underlying purpose was
to build up moral barrier against
the policy Of tariff wars and isolation.

sian Public Library at Leningrad with
the astounding claim that 1t possesses
$500 900 volumes The further state
ment is made that when the Lentn
Library at Moscow, now under construc-
ton, is completed, it will have q stAu
greater collection. The Lenin Library
was started in 1917, at the time OF
the revolution, with l,4e0 900 volumes
There would be, to the Occloental
mind. q monotonous sameness about
the books in these Russian libraries
Nearly all are on political, sociological,
or technical subjects. There is good
deal Of fiction produced In Russia and
1t Is to be found in the libraries where
1t is read with avidity, but 1t is all OF
the type regarded as propagandist.
While cast In f1ctional form, these
novels also are political propaganda.
There is the conventional villain In the
form of a dashing Czarist officer or
nobleman or capitalist and a hero Of
the working class, and all the action Is
designed to stimulate hatred for the
old order. But to minds which are
reading their first books and can make
no comparisons because comparisons
are not allowed, this all makes thrilling
reading.
Circulating Libraries.
The Academy of Sciences Library is
the Oldest Russian library and, 1t Is
said, many Of the old books are still
preserved there. But they are not
readily available TO the public. Proba-
bly, the public would not be greatly
interested and only q handful OF scho-
lars would be able to decipher them.
for they are written on parchment In
the Slavic Of the eleventh to fourteenth
centuries.
There are few other large central
libraries, but the real library service Of
the Russian nation is in the form Of q
circulating system which reaches into
every community. Several systems are
used, including the California County
system, devised in the United States.
This Is plan whereby books are kept
circulating by mail.
Every town has some sort of a COM
munity center and it Is a circulating
library depot. Also, the librarian is d
teacher ready to assist and guide read
ers. Community meetings are frequent
and books are discussed. Every person
who gains in education Is imbued with
the idea of helping others, so there Is
q vast amount Of volunteer instruction.
The organization of the new Lenin
Library already is partially organized,
although the vast new modernfStic
structure is not yet complete. A part
Of the work of the Lenin Library viii
be the conduct of college for train
ing Librarians TO be sent into the re-
motest parts Of the vast Russian do
main, bringing the light of education
with them. All, however, are being
trained to keep binders on the light;
1t must only throw its beam in one
direction-along the path of COM
munism.
When it is realized that in the brief
period from the Czarist regime, when
only about per cent of the Russian
people were hterate, until now, when
the literacy percentage is 90 per cent
In cities and 80 per cent in rural dis
trits, it will be seen that a vast number
Of books and a vast library system are
needed. The plans for the Lenin Lii
brary call for 100000 books. And
not q good word among all OF them
for the dollar.
