"Troubled Heart''

My heart is troubled tonight
as I look out into the world and
see all these millions turning
away from God, while turning to
idols, sin and dictatorS. Why,
oh why, don't what few real
Christians the world has left go
out and preach the gospel to
these millions of idol-worship-
ing Chinese? The Jews will not
believe Jesus Christ was the real
son of God. AS a result, they
have become a hated and wan
dering race of people.
God developed our 10 colonies
into the greatest nation in the
world because the colonies
trusted Him instead Of their
small army. Can we expect Him
to let us keep our power If we
forget Him and spend our time
in night clubs and liquor stores?
These war scares and minor
ity problems in Europe don't
happen because Hitler did this,
or so and so did the other, but
simply because the majority
have forgotten God; so come on,
Christians, let's get together and
do what Christ commanded us
to do, and spread the gospel to

life and their food.
And all these and other too
numerous to mention benefits
we get for only "a Of / cent
per capita per annum. Don't
you think that we are getting
very high interest rates on our
tax money as well as very cheap
insurance? Only "a of a cent
a year for saving our minds
and bodies from slowly being
destroyed.
Once we have an inside view
what the Government does for
us, we will be more willing to
pay taxes and will gladly thank
our lucky stars that we live in
the dear old U. s. A.

Battleship Costs

President Roosevelt knows
what happened in the last war.
Munition makers had a strangle
hold on the Navy Department,
they doubled the price of ar
NOR, ships and munitions, as
means of national defense Sec
rotary Daniels built the second
largest armor plant in the
world at Charleston, w. Va,
where mechanics were paid
higher wages yet could make
armor plate for $246 a ton with
the Steel Trust price at $640 a
ton and their own figures at
the munitions hearing quoted
only $51 worth of metal in q
ton of armor plate.
Recent bids on battleShips by
private firms were nearly twice
the cost of Navy Yard, where
there are idle ways on which
ships could be built.
There could be no change in
the Navy Department personnel,
why have hundreds of naval Of
ficers on shore vacations wnen
their services are needed on
ships they were trained to man.
We have thousands Of boys in
C. C. C. camps who should be
given military training. A vote
of the boys would have their
approval, regardless Of the paci-
fists who may be Nazist.

She's an heiress. What is your
idea of a glamour girl, any
way?"
We said we'll, we had no def

cept that we thought a glamour
girl" ought to, first of all, be
pretty good looking, and second,
she ought to be neatly groomed.
We said we thought this was
even more important than looks
and that a slip showing below
the skirt indicated a careless
disregard of appearance we
could not abide.
THIS GLAMOUR GIRL he

young and we argued that small

you might say. suggesting even
greater carelessness in later
years. We said this glamour
girl was probably just the type
that would neglect her hus-
bands breakfast.

columnist. "She's got millions.
Don't you think she is pretty?"
We said she looked prettier
since he mentioned the millions
than she did at first glance, but,
even so, we could step out into

The barring Of Father Cough

If various agencies can broad

practically breaking off diplo-

Americans certainly should be

Flagler Street, down in Dade
county, Florida, any afternoon
and pick out of the first girls
that came along, IL who would
be much prettier.
We said we bet they would
have more glamour" too, from
the standpoint of that intelli-
gence that we deemed an essen
tial to our idea of a glamour
girl" We said q girl might be
completely beautiful, but If she
were also dumb, where was the
glamour? The columnist shook
his head and said:
Those Florida girls wouldn't
have this ones money"
THEN HE INDICATED a num-
L Der of others that he said
have standing in New York as
glamour girls" and we had to
admit that some of them were
corkers, but we noticed that he
pointed out none without men,
tioning that they have money,
so finally we were forced to the
conclusion that glamour" to
those writer's means money.
One Of his exhibits had pal
pably bad teeth and while that
is not as bad as a slip showing
below the skirt, it is certainly
bad enough. Another had legs
that were the same shape from
the knee to the ankle and I'M
der our conception of glamour"
that would have ruled her off
automatically. The thing that
impressed us most, however,
was the lack Of style among the
glamour girls" They cannot
help the miShaps, of course, but
anyone who is being put away
as "glamorous" certainly ought
to make a study of style, if only
for dance floor purposes, as it is
very difficult to there display
that glamour" Of intellect by
which we set such store.
In the old days, glamour"
was confined mainly to the
wealthy girls as far as style
was concerned, because good
dressmaking was expensive and
so were the other appurtenances
to glamour" as we see it, but
nowadays practically every girl
can have well fitting clothes and
the advantages of hair dressers,
and manicuriSts, and other aids
to glamour" including school
ing, though they may not have
great wealth.
We still decline to place as
much Importance on wealth as
an adjunct to glamour" as the
society reporters and columnists
do, though we can see that for
their writing purposes it is some
what essential.
1T IS ONLY FAIR to the re-
l. porters and columnistS to re.
port that Mr.. Noah Webster,
the dictionary fellow, rather
supports their definition of
glamour" when he remarks that
it is some charm or enchant-
ment operating on the vision
and causing things to seem diff
ferent from what they really
are, as for example a haze or
other softening atmospheric
effect; a magic spell; witch
craft"
Also he says it is amy arti-
ficial interest or association by
which an object is made to ap-
pear to the mental vision de-
lusively magnified, exalted or
glorified" - which, of course,
might cover any girl a fellow is
in love with glamour girl" or
not.
