Courage

II VERYONE is agreed that cour-
~. age is quality which is essen
tial to his well-being. The term
coward" is considered everywhere
to be an opprobrious one. and few
are anxious to be considered lacking
In bravery. Yet even the bravest men
will admit that there have been
occasions when courage has we'll
nigh deserted them.
Christian Science teaches that
courage is an essential of Christian
warfare; but it also teaches men to
place their reliance on something
deeper than mere personal bravery,
since it Is recognized that this can
fail when 1t is most needed. 1t also
draws a clear distinction between
mere animal courage and the moral
courage which brings peace and
calm to the most disturbed situation.
1t is custom, among those about
to engage in human warfare, to have
recourse to intoXicants in order to
stimulate themselves to face its hor-
rors. Criminals cultivate in like man
ner a spurious courage for their un-
lawful actions, thereby frequently
reducing themselves to a pitiable
state, mentally and physically. The
courage thus induced is, of course,
ephemeral, and leads to the commits
sion of crimes, terrible in their eff
fects on humanity.
Such courage has no connection
with true Christian courage. Mary
Baker Eddy puts the matter clearly
when she says (Science and Health
with Key to the Scriptures, PIP. 20,
29O: There is too much animal
courage in society and not sufficient
moral courage. Christians must
take up arms against error at home
and abroad. They must grapple with
sin In themselves and in others, and
continue this warfare until they have
finished their course. If they keep
the faith, they will have the crown
OF rejoicing"
Some people may think that the
substituting of moral courage for
animal courage is very easy. They

Death has taken William d. Brat
ton, editor Of the Cecil County News,
Elkton, and one of the countys best
known journalists. A man of sterl-
ing qualities, kindly, and held in the
highest of esteem in his community.
For thirty years or more the di-
recting editorial spirit of the News,
he stood steadfastly for the church,
the school, the home; ever on the side
Of temperance and other public ques-
lions that made for the advancement
Of the community In which he lived
and his influence for good will evel
be cherished as a monument to hii
memory.

SOCIAL SECURITY ESSENTIAL

With great numbers of American
workers saving insufficient funds to
provide for their retirement, meas
ures such as are contained in the
Social Security Act are essential, Will
liam r. Williamson, Actuarial Con-
sultant for the Social Security Board
said in an address before the Virginia
Bankers Association.
1.-THE problem of old-age depend
ency," Mr.. Williamson declared, lis
becoming steadily more important
because of the growing number Oh
persons who are IS years of age OF
older, and because the need Of those
who are older and who are econom-
ically dependent is recognized as
more acute under prevalent urban
conditions than in earlier years in d
predominantly agricultural society.
He said Bureau of Census figures
revealed that, in 1850, persons 90
years or older constituted only 81
per cent of the total population OIL
the country. By 1880 the percent
age was 5.4. By 1880 it is estimat-
cd the percentage Of persons 60
years of age or older will have reach
ed 11.3.
Citing as a basic assumption in the
past the idea that leach citizen has
q job or sufficient income opportuni-
ty to provide for all his day-by-day
needs and, in addition, to provide in
come during unemployment and to
protect his own old age Mr.. Will
hanson said that the facts do not
bear out his ability to do so.
He quoted figures from study by
the Bookings Institution indicating
IAN average monthly income to the
wage Garner in 1929 of about 500.
This means, he asserted, that a
large proportion come below this
figure"
1.-THE old-age benefits provisions Of
the Social Security Act help the in
dividual to be thrifty" Mr.. William
son declared. 1.-THE more the indi-
vidual earns during the course of his
working life the larger will be the
annuity payments which he will re-
ceive.
"The Social Security Act is prac-
tical beginning" the speaker declar-
ed. at attempts to recognize and
provide the machinery for meeting
some of the economic distress which
has afflicted u.s."

FARM PROGRAM

"The two will be about as nearly
alike as the 1887 and 1886 models
of automobiles.
Secretary Wallace made this COM
ment recently as the new $500,00O,-
900 agricultural conservation pro-
gram was being shaped. The 1887
model followed closely the principles
and basic outlines of the 1886 model
but it had at least one important new
device and several new gadgets.
The 1887 plan provides. as did the
1886 program, for payments to farm
ers who meet specified conditions in
shifting land from soil-depleting
crops to soil-conserving crops and for
carrying out approved soil-building
practices.
The feature which attracted most
attention, however, was move to-
ward crop production control, ruled
out Of the AAA by the decision OF
the Supreme Court last January
The program calls for limitation OF
corn acreage in states in the Corn
Belt. 1t sets these limits to be
slightly smaller than the total acre
age planted to corn in 1896.
To help bring about corn acreage
limitations, the program provides fol-
scheme of bonuses to farms within
prescribed acreages, and deductions
FOR those acres that go over the limit
| In addition to this step, designed
to protect corn and hog prices from
auctuation as a recoil from the
drought, other features of the sol
conservation program include:
Placing Of added emphasis upon
soil building, for which more money
will be set aside.
Extension of the range program
which applied only in Western region
states in 1886, to include range lands
N western parts of the Southern and
North Central region.
| Increases in allowances which
growers of vegetables and fruits car
earn through soil building practices
The program was announced after
strong trend toward crop control
was manifested to the Agriculture
department in conferences with farm
representatives. One Of the most
vigorous supporters Of that principle
was the American Farm Rureau Fed
grafton.
Secretary Wallace said that the old
AAA act had been good but that "a
better program can and will be
built" For a sounder agriculture,
he said, there was also need for ~
retirement of marginal land from
cultivation; (2) sound crop insur-
ance, coupled with storage of reserve
supplies of food and fiber; (3) in
creased security for tenants and own
srs and better possibilities for ten
ants to become owners, and a. in
dustrial policies that encourage
abundance for industrial workers and
farmers alike.

tiers the hectic days have come
that are tense with the excitement
of assembling a voguish, and as
practical as voguish, wardrobe that
will carry them through with sar-
torial honors on campus, in class
room and at college prom"
Thinking in terms of the college
girl who must rank high in swank
and at the same time look to the
practical in clothes, we are remind
ed of the stunning costume suits
and the smart sports outfits and the
glamorous evening gowns displayed
recently at the jubilee fashion pag-
cant presented in the open-air Ia
COON theater on the lake front by
the Apparel Style Creators of the
wholesale district of Chicago. A
full-length cape costume was fea-
tured that represents exactly what
college girl should have in the way
of an outfit that will serve faith
fully and dramatically through the
months to come.
See this goodlooking cape cos
tune pictured to the left in the
illustration. The newest thing in
suits or in costume ensemble is the
long-cape model. Very practical
are these types since the long cape
may be worn all through the
autumn as a separate wrap with
frocks. The ensemble here shown
is fashioned of handsome black
wooden with deep yoke collar of
black Persian on the cape and
pocket of matching fur on the
dress. So well thought of are long
cape types many jacket suits add
full-length capes, thus achieving
an interchangeable outfit that will
vary the dress program according
to the mood of it's wearer. The
costume ensemble that can be
given varied personality via access
series and interchangeable items is
well worth considering when as
sembling a college wardrobe.

SPICES LEND HUES
FOR FALL WARDROBE

For years feminine fashions have
determined what women would eat,
for style has determined the figure
and the diet. Now at last has
come great reversal. Out of the
spice jars with which our food is
made fiavorful and fragrant has
come the range of tans and browns
with which the well-dressed woman
will make herself alluring in the
late summer and early fall season.
For once, therefore, foods will de-
termine what we wear, according
to the edicts of the nations stylists.
Spice shades, ranging from the
yellow-tan of ground ginger to the
rich brown of whole cloves, are be-
ing shown in light and medium
weight fabrics. Cosmetics are be-
ing tinted to harmonic with these
spice colors and also, incidentally,
to make the transition from sun
tanning to normal skin tones more
gradual and more charming.
