 Significant Silence
 The drive in the House to put through the Ludlow war-referen- dunn bill Is most embarrassing to Secretary Wallace.
 President Roosevelt, Secretary of State Hull and all the Admin istration chieftains on Capitol Hill are adamantly arrayed against the measure. But Henry is pulp licly on record for such legisla- ton,
 It happened three years ago, before he was bitten by the Presi- dental bee and was still writing crusading pieces for magazines.
 Tn a signed article in Golfers, Wallace advocated practically the same principle contained in the Ludlow proposal - a national ref- erendum to determine whether the country should or should not go to war. This is what he said:
 "I should like to sec the day when, before thls country could enter 6 war beyond It's borders, national economic council would be required to call by solemn referendum .. upon the sober judgment of the ma ture people,"
 Today, however, Wallace is maintaining what members of his personal staff describe as "signi- ficant silence"

e. Does cigaret paper contain arsenic9
 A. So far as we are able to de- termine, arsenic Is not used in ciga- ret papers. Many cigaret papers are more or less heavily loaded with iillers, such as calcium carbonate, magnesium carbonate, magnesium peroxide, and china clay. These sub- stances are in no way injurious, and the supposed intoxication by tho ash is c myth. Fillers are used to iyii- prove combustibility and increase opacity.

Pennsylvania. At the end of the
first year his license was changed to
that of local or lay preacher, author
izing him to preach at any and all
the churches on the circuit. After
preaching two years he was appoint
ed by the Pittsburgh conference as
assistant pastor on the same charge.
In 1885 he was appointed to six
church circuit, covering a large part
of Greene county, Pennsylvania. In

in 1911 he came to Malta circuit.
He located in McConnelsville and
for some years preached as supply

He says that in all his life he has
never been on sick bed, has scarce
ly ever known an ache or pain, has
never suffered any serious injury;
also says that he does not attribute
his remarkably good health all
these years to any inherent good
ness of himself, but that it was so
ordained of his good Heavenly
Father to whom he gives all the
praise and glory.-XX.

Johns Picture of the Trial and
Crucifixion, John 1919, 14-1S, 25-
80, for Sunday, March 21:
Why did the Jewish leaders seek
Christ's death?
How did their conduct show hard
heartedness?
What were the evidences that
Christ was innocent of all the
charges made against him?
In what events did God over-rule
the wicked plots and brutal actions
of those who accused, condemned
and crucified Christ?
Why is SO much made of the cross
Of Christ?
Straus, the father of modern de-
structive criticism, said "Jesus is
the highest model of religion, and
no perfect piety is possible without
his presence in the heart Fichte,
the philosopher, said, ''Until the end
of time, all the sensible will bow be-
fore Jesus of Nazareth Rousseau
said, eff Socrates died like philos-
opher, Jesus lived and died like a
God"
Lesson prayer: "Forbid that by
thought, word or deed we should
keep company with those who ac-
cused, condemned and crucified
Christ"

Johns Picture of the Trial ana
Crucifixion, John 19:4-9, 14-18, 70
80, for Sunday, March FL:
Jesus was first taken before An
mas, former high priest, then be-
fore Caiaphas, the high priest, and
the Sanhedrin in an irregular trial
at night, and then again before
Caiaphas and the Sanhedrin in a
regular trial in the morning. He
was then taken before Plate, the
Roman governor, since the San
hedrin could not pass the sentence
of death which was the accusers' OBJ
jective
". 4. "Pilate therefore went forth
again, and saith unto them, Behold
I bring him forth to you, that ye
may know that I find no fault in
him." Jesus conduct in bearing ac-
cusations and scourgings portrayed
such qualities as meekness, purity,
sincerity, as to convince PLATE that
Jesus was innocent"
V. 5. ''Then came Jesus forth
wearing the crown of thOrns, and
purple robe And Plate saith unto
them, Behold the mani" PLATE tries
to arouse the compassion of the peo-
pie.
". 6. ''When the chief priests
therefore and officers saw him, they
cried out saying, Cruelty him, cruci-
fly him. plate saith unto them,
Take ye him, and cruelty him. l
find no fault in him. The third
time PLATE declared the innocence
of Jesus, and he would not announce
the sentence of death.
v. 7. ''The Jews answered him,
We have a law and by our law he
ought to die, because he made him
self the Son of God" Here the for
NAL charge, on which Jesus was
condemned by the Sanhedrin is first
revealed to PLATE. Before this they
had set forth various charges that
they thought might have weight
with PLATE See Luke 1872.
v. s, 8. "When Plate therefore
heard that saying, he was more
afraid; and went again into the
judgment hall, and saith unto Jesus.
Whence art thou? But Jesus gave
him no answer" His own cOnvic-
tions, the clamors of the Jews, the
fear of vengeance and the certainty
that he would do wrong if he gave
him up, threw Plate into state OF
alarm. Jesus was unalarmed and
would not even speak. Silence was
golden.
v. IA. "Pilate saith, Behold your
King!' PLATE confirmed fact re-
corded in Old Testament history.

cials point out that most Of the old
pioneer trail is paved today, and
oxen must be shod in order to be
driven over the hard surfaced high
ways.
Old timers familiar in the art OF
reinforcing the cloven hoof of the
oxen are hard to find and those who
allegedly know, vary in opinion on
the question, which is fast becom
ing a "bone of contention among
them, and a source of irritation to
the commission. 1t appears that
there are more than a dozen ways
of shoeing an ox-but no one seems
to know which is the right method
1t is known of course that the shoe
of an OK is in two pieces and differs
somewhat from the common horse
shoe. However, some say that the
ox's hoof is too thin to stand reshoe-
ing, while others assert that al
though the white part of the hoof is
thin and brittle, the black part is Of
tough enough structure to stand
reshoeing The commission has been
advised that if nail is driven into
the quick Of an OK hoof it will lame
by others that if the nail is first
pushed into piece of fat meat it
can be driven through the quick
and the OK will not be injured.
Others insist that shoeing is not
necessary. and recommend the use
of special boot, similar somewhat
to those used by dairy horses Jap
anese are known to make such boots
from woven straw and never shoe
oxen. The late Ezra Meeker in his
book "OxTeam Days on the Oregon
Trail' states that he shod his oxen
IL times in the course of his Jour-
ney. Diversity of opinion also CEN
ters on the matter in which the shoe
is applied to the hoof Some claim
the necessity of using stocks, a
frame with a broad belt which pass
es beneath the OK and by use of a
windlass raises him from his feet In
order to prevent his kicking. On
the other hand some claim that use
of the "stocks'' is totally unneces-
sary. AS if to provide endless con-
troversy on the subject, another
question arises as to "How long win
the OK shoe last on a paved road?'
