WOMAN MADE INVISIBLE

The invisible man is now reality instead of fictional character, ac- eofding to an Italian scientist who claims to have perfected a ray which makes people fade from sight. In Rome he described an experiment in which the ray was directed at two women engaged in conversation. Gradually they faded and disap- neared, but their conversation con- tinued to be audible. The effect is obtained by means of an electro optical combination with the eman- ntion of special electric rays similar 60 x-rays.

All units of the Farm Credit Ad-
ministration of Baltimore returned
last week to their original location
at St. Paul and oath Streets, upon
completion of remodeling work to
enlarge the Federal Land Bank
building. The original building,
erected by the land bank in 1928
and consisting of one story with a
basement and mezzanine, was in
adequate after the bank was made
a part of the Farm Credit Admin
istration in 1888. In February,
1884, the land bank moved with
the Bank for Cooperatives, Produc-
tion Credit Corporation, and Fed
eral intermediate Credit Bank to
larger quarters in the Baltimore
Trust building. The new structure
contains six stories and basement,
is of limestone construction, air
conditioned throughout, and fire

BIG TOURING WAVE SEEN
Record Breaking Surge of Motor
Touring Expected Say AAA

With motor vehicle registrations
now at the highest point in history,
Delaware Motor Club of Hotel du-
Pont, Wilmington, said today they
are looking forward to a new rec
ord-breaking surge of motor tour
ing in the 1887 travel season.
Constant improvement of the net
work of highways throughout the
nation is one of the most import
ant stimulants of motor vacation
ing. AS new travel detectives are
opened up, the motorists Of Amer
lea find a menu of vacation sites
that for interest, accessibility, and
good accommodations cannot be
matched by any other country in
the world. With nearly one mil
lion miles of improved highways;
with filling stations, roadside cater
ing establishments and overnight
Accommodations available along al
most every mile of road, it is small
wonder that more and more people
are taking to the highway for their
annual vacations. Last year, there
was a tremendous upsurge in tour
ing: Gasoline consumption rose
nearly 10 per cent; travel to ma
tional parks and national forests
gained about 20 per cent; while re-
quests for rulings at A.A.A. clubs
throughout the country showed an
increase of nearly 25 per cent. The
vacation and resort areas are COM
ing to a full realization of the
highly competitive nature of the
tourist industry, and a number of
the so-called bridge states through
which tourists were wont to pass
without stopping any longer than
necessary, are going into the busi-
ness of pleasing travellers to such
an extent that they will be per-
suaded to stay over for at least a
short visit"

Radiant Living
THE WAY OUT
BY Rev. c. M. Griffeth
Pastor Calvary M. E. Church
Sudlersville, Md.

The way out of darkness is
through light.
But light is of no avail to him
who will not submit to its benefits.
If I woud be healed by radium
I must submit my body to its heal
ing rays. If I would have my
spirit healed from cancerous sin I
must submit my spirit to the heal
ing powers of the radiant energy
of Infinite Love as contained in the
blood atonement of Jesus Christ.
John emphasizes this when he
writes: But to as many as receiv-
ed Him, to them, gave He power
to become the sons of God, even to
them that believe in His name.
Dante has beautifully symbolized
the way out of the darkness of sin
into the marvellous light of life
radiant and immaculate, by his
description of the three steps that
led out of Purgatory.
The first of these is of white
marble, $50 polished smoothe," he
says, that it mirrored me therein
as I appeared" What is this but
the self-realization of ones sinful
ness, as illustrated to US by the
prodigal son when, as it says, che
came to himself"
The second step was dark and
rugged and cracked in its length
and breadth. This, as is evident,
depicts the sorrow of a broken
heart, the contrition of repentance,
so well illustrated to US by the
publican who prayed only, God he
merciful to me a sinner"
The third step was of Porphyry,
so flaming red as blood that spurts
from a vein. What is this but the
atonement of the blood of Christ,
reminding us of the piercing Of
that sacred heart and bringing to
our minds the sacrifice on Calvary
to which Paul referred when he
wrote with gratitude, Who loved
me and gave Himself for me-"
These three steps, those of con-
viction, contrition, and atonement,
are indeed the steps that lead from
the abysmal darkness Of the tomb
of sin into the glorious light of a
Divine dedemption.
