Christian Science

Behold, what manner of love
the Father hath bestowed upon US,
that we should be called the sons
of God" These words from Johns
first epistle are the golden text in
the lesson-sermon on Man" on
Sunday in all Christian Science
churches, branches of The Mother
Church, The First Church of Christ,
Scientist, in Boston, Mass.
One Of the Bible citations in the
lesson sermon includes these verses
from the book of JOB: "If iniquity
be in thine hand, put it far away,
and let not wickedneSs dwell in thy
tabernacles. For then shalt thou lift
up thy face without spot; yea, thou
shalt be stedfast, and shalt not fear
. and thine age shall be clearer
than the MONDAY; thou shalt shine
forth, thou shalt be as the morn
ing"
A correlatiye passage from Sci
ence and Health with Key to the
Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy,
states: Except for the error Of
measuring and limiting all that is
good and beautiful, man would en-
Joy more than threescore years and
ten and still maintain his vigor,
freshness and promise. Man, gov
erned by immortal Mind is always

1t would be- laughed Uncle Wig
gily. I'll not ask the Bob Cat to
tap any trees for me. I'll tap them
myself"
"How?" asked Chippy.
Ill get a gimlet or an auger,
which is larger gimlet, and bore
holes in the trunk of this tree and
in other trees around here said
Mr.. LongearS. For several of these
trees are sugar naples. In the hole
I tap I'll put hollow wooden pipe
or spigot. And on the spigot I'll
hang a pail. Then the sap will drip
into the pail and when l have
enough we can boil it into thick,
brown, sweet syrup and also make
maple sugar.
Where will you do that, Uncle
Wiggily?" asked Chippy.
In my sugar camp!' answered
the rabbit gentleman. You see to
make syrup or sugar out of the thin,
sweet Watery sap, it must be boiled
long time in kettles. The fires un-
der the kettles must be kept burn
ing night and day. 1t is too far from
my bungalow to hop back and forth
to look after the fires. SO I'll make n
sugar camp here in the woods and
I'll stay here and look after things. -
May 1 stay with you?" asked
Chippy
Yes. And I'll get some of my rab-
bit boys and girls and also some
other animal children to come here
to the sugar camp with me-"
oh, what fun we'll have!" shout
ed Chippy. But what about the Bob
Cat?" he whispered. HE may come
back"
I'll bring the Police Dog here to
camp and he will keep the Bob Cat
away said the rabbit gentleman
Then he and Chippy hoped back
to the bungalow and SOON with
merry shouts and laughter the ami
NAL children and Mr.. Longears had
made sugar camp there in the
woods. They had bark tents to sleep
in and plenty of wood to make
warm fires.
SO if the radio will tell the gold
fish bedtime story to make it &C
to sleep without being wheeled in
the baby carriage, I'll tell you nexj
about Uncle Wiggily's maple sugar

WASHINGTON, March 10. - The
state department watches expense
accounts with an eagle eye, impos-
ing minute restrictions even to drink
ing water consumed by its foreign
service officers.
For example, it specifically for
bids any officer to charge for the
transportation of garden tools or
agricultural implements. No birds
or dogs can be moved at govern
ment expense, and whatever house.
hold goods transported must have
an intrinsic value to justify" their
shipping.
In fact, should some dignitary
don clean collar before actually be-
ginning his trip, the regulations for
bid the laundry charge being in
cluded in the expense account. Mel
ther can he take along a few bot
ties of wine, groceries or provisions
at the governments expense.
Perhaps one of thel atest to feel
the rigid exactments is Admiral
Richard H. Leigh. He was docked II
cents because a ship he was on
reached port 30 minutes later than
his voucher said.
The incident occurred when Leigh
was serving as chief naval adviser
to the Geneva disarmament confer
ence and was allowed Sc day eX-
penses by the state department.
Should the admiral have charged
for drinking water except when not
furnished gratis, or when furnished
free if not safe to drink he would

A DANGEROUS PRACTICE

The much discussed picture in which
Sheriff Lillian and the prosecuting
attorney at Crown Point, Indiana. posed
with Dillinger gives the key to one of the
factors which has assisted materially in
foiSting false glamor around our pro-
teSSOnal criminals and in instilling in
weak minds the idea that there is some
thlng heroic about being a big shot
racketeer.
Attorney General Cummings has
roundly condemned the picture and those
officials who posed for it. The prose-
cutting attorney is shown with his arm
around Dillinger's shoulder while the
latter reciprocateS with an equally
display toward the prosecutor Sheriff"
Lillian is off to one side but appears
highly pleased to be seen in such COM
pany.
Such familiarity and friendliness with
the professional criminals is not con-
fined to Crown Point 1t is the same in
all places throughout the country. Once
big shot is in custody there are al
ways plenty who want to have the world
know they were in on the kill.
To a considerable degree, the news
papers must share in the blame for this
deplorable condition.
Newspaper photographers play on the
natural vanity ol peace Officers ana
cajole them into posing as they wish
them to pose. Of course the officers
should have sufficient respect for them
selves and their official positions to re-
sist the Establishments of the photo
graphers. but the latter have partic-
ularly effective way of making people
do what they want.
Coupled with the role played by the
photographers are the sob sisters and the
feature writer's, who turn out intimate
and mushy yarns about coldblooded
robbers and murderers, painting them
in heroic lights and actually striving
to create sympathy for them.
The attorney general is to be COM
plimented for his severe condemnation
of the Crown Point incident and it is
to be hoped that it will result in dis
couraging similar activities on the part
of other officials. There is nothing heroic
or admirable about the professional
criminal. Those who think there is are
only deluding themselves as the Grown
Point officials were deluded when Dill
linger made them the laughing stocks
of the nation.

UNCLE WIGGHY'S SUGAR
CAMP

Really, is this a maple sugar
tree?" asked Chippy, the striped
chipmunk boy, as he and Uncle
Wiggily stood beneath the branches
of a tree out of which, little while
before, the Bob Cat had jumped
and run awaT.
Yes. it is really a maple tree,
the sap or juice of which is sweet
enough to be boiled down into thick
maple syrup said the rabbit gen.
tleman. And from the syrup maple
sugar can be made. So this is real
ly maple sugar tree. Our search
is over. We have found what we
were looking for.
Its lucky, isn't it?" asked Chip
py.
Very lucky answered Mr.. Long
ears.
And that was a good adventure
we had with the Bob Cat who was
up in this tree sharpening his claws
wasn't it?' asked Chippy.
"a very good adventure laughed
Uncle Wiggily. 1T was better ad-

venture to have the Bob Cat run
away from us than having him run
at us. I hope he doesn't come back"
II hope SO, too said Chippy,
looking carefully around But he
saw no signs of the Bad Chap.
Wasn't it funny about the sweet
rain?" he asked Uncle Wiggily.
Very funny" chuckled the rab-
bit gentleman. For, as I told you in
last nights story, when Uncle Wig
gily and Chippy were in the woods,
they saw the Bob Cat up in a tree
making holes in the branches as he
sharpened his claws on the bark.
When the Bob Cat ran away, Chip
py and Uncle Wiggily stood beneath
the tree and there dropped down on
them what the chipmunk boy
thought was sweet rain.
But it wasn't rain,' Uncle Wig
gily explained. When the Bob Cat
made holes in the branches of this
maple tree, the sweet sap, which al
ways begins TO flow in March, oozed
out and dribbled down on us in
white drops like rain. But when you
tasted some of the drops, Chippy.
you found they were sweet. Then I
knew we had found a maple sugar
tree"
See how fast the drops are fall
ing from the branch where the Bob
Cat made holes with his claws"
spoke the chipmunk boy. will it
hurt the tree to let so much sweet
sap drip out of it,
mo, I think not. Anyhow there
Is no way to stop the flow OF sap.
And it doesn't hurt the trees to tap
them and take out enough sap for
the making of maple syrup. That's
what I'm going to do next week"
You mean you are going TO get
the Bob Cat TO scratch this tree
again OF make holes IN some other
tree so you can get sap?' asked

HAIL, THE ARIZONA

If and when the L. S. S. Arizona
flrst class battleship, steams up the
colorado past Yuma. we mean to have
grandstand seat on the bridge over
the river at that point, even if we have
to play hockey for the day. and we
are going to cheer our heads off for
the ship. even though she may be steam
ing north for the nefarious purpose of
blasting the daylights out of California
territory with her bic guns.
Provided a few small items can be
disposed Of, there is a chance that we
may get our wish to sit on the bridge
and cheer. The items include amongst
other things, permission from the navy
department for the Arizona to travel
up the river and permission from the
river to do the same. The first is dif-
ficult enough and the latter something
more so.
Request for the necessary naval per-
mission has already been made. One
Commodore Ira McNutt" has telegraph
ed Mrs. Isabella Greenway, Arizona's
representative in congress, to urge the
navy department to dispatch the battle
ship west to protect Arizona's interests
in its battle" with the Metropolitan
Water District over construction of a
dam in the Colorado at Parker.
Commodore McNutt' states the river
has been declared navigable by the high
est authority (unnamed) and in his
opinion the navy should handle this
situation.
If, however, it is deemed inadvisable to
send the Arizona, Commodore McNutt'
is willing to accept an alternative to
wit: equip the Nellie Jo," now cruising
on the Colorado, with a crew from thc
Arizona, and let them deal with the
California outlaws"
Well not cheer for the Nellie Jo,'
even though she may have a crew from
the Arizona. 1t must be the big ship
or nothing as far as We are concerned.
We believe Commodore McNutt" feels
the same way about it. We'd like to be
on the bridge with him to cheer for the
Arizona and we believe also he would
join with US in giving the razz to the
''Nellie-Jo."
Commodore McNutt has a keen sense
of humor Now if he could only COM
municate some of it to Governor Moeur,
there would be no need for either the
Arizona or the Nellie Jo."

An Automatic Process

Government officials and others
who worry about changes in diet to
be imposed upon the American peo-
pie by current lack Of production due
to drouth may rest assured that the
adjustment will be accomplished
gradually and without difficulty.
They may depend upon that most
potent influence in American life, the
housewife, to perform this task with
out undue fuss or furry.
Compared with the job Of adjusting
family expenditures, forced upon her
by the shifting Of available income,
1t will be child's play.
The same thing can be said Of the
relationship between the prices Of
various foods. Barring outside influ-.
ences, such as corners" or artificial
barriers to the effects Of natural fac
tors, the housewife will keep each in
its proper place.
The best current illustration Is con-
tanned In the slight drop In hog
prices and the advance in cattle
prices despite the fact that cattle
slaughter has been heavy and hog
slaughter light.
The answer Is that pork got out Of
line with beef and the housewife is
putting 1t back again by shifting her
demand to other meats. In recent
We know without being told,
beef steaks, roasts, stews and soups
have supplanted ham, bacon and
other pork items on many tables.

The Motor Bus Tax

Propaganda issued by the national
association Of motor bus operators
makes reference to the fact that
common carrier buses throughout the
nation pay $S4.sl In taxes for every
mile Of road used.
Asserting that high taxation Is
proving . stumbling block" to the
orderly development Of the industry,
the association raps discriminatory
federal levies" and infers that fair
ness would dictate q reduction In the
bus tax rate: ....
The statement Is interesting in that
1t outlines the similarity between the
bus situation and that Of the rail-
roads. as seen by the unprejudiced
observer.
The railroads have steadily con-
tended that federal and state laws
give the buses an advantage from =
transportation standpoint, furnishing
0A4SAsA WAt4A AASO runway 041O 4&4S
ing to impose upon them regulations
comparable to those under which the

The average citizen has looked on

tain as to who was right and suspect
ing that both sides were partly right
and partly wrong. Few have taken
the trouble to study the situation
enough to form an intelligent opinion.
But al will wonder how this tax
Of @s7.6l per mile compares with the
taxes paid by railroads in proportion
to the tonnage carried and In view Of
the fact that the railroad Is required
to make an investment in its right
of-way and to pay for its annual up
keep.
