thinking today would be less fran
tic If we took fuller note of the
countless homes where love and dis
cipline and high ideals prevail. Our
times have pushed formal educa-
ton to an extent absolutely unpre-
cedented in history; but still the
home and the wise and cody par
ents are the greatest of all educa-
tional forces. Let any panic-strick-
en- pessimist spend few weeks
motoring amidst the myriad homes
Of the towns and villages Of the
United States and Canada, and he
will return with a new heart of
hope. The Amaziahs and Jecholiahs
are still training Uzziahs in the
royal way.
Several striking phrases sum up
Uzziah's life story. He did that
which was right in the eyes of Je-
hovah, according to all that his
father Amaziah had done" I COM
mend that as an adequate plat
form for political parties. He set
himself to seek God" LAS long as
he sought Jehovah, God made him
to prosper" God helped him
against the Philistines and against
the Arabians"
Really remarkable is the record of
Uzziah's reforms and reconstruction,
as he brought prosperity to the land.
He waged wars, far and near. with
a finely-equipped army. and ex-
tended his dominions down to the
Red Sea and the gates of Egypt. He
put on a rebuilding program for
Jerusalem.
He did not neglect the shepherds
and the farmers: for ''he loved hus-
bandry." He built protective towers
for the wilderness pastures, and he
hewed out many cisterns, to con-
serve the water supply-an ancient
analogy to our dam building enter
prises. He multiplied the husband
men and vine-dressers in the ter
raced mountains. Naturally, Ibis
name spread far abroad: for he was
marvelously helped, until he was
strong"
A Strong Mans Weakness.
Then came the tragic change. as
it has come in a million other lives
since Uzziah's day When he was
strong, he forgot the Source of his
strength. He suffered serious case
of what is colloquially known as
"the big head" His egotism led him
to believe that he was above all law
and could do no wrong. AS Mr.
Bryan used to say, he was "a self
made man worshiping his creator"
Few sights are commoner in life

French Subs Took
8 German Jews, Says
Saturnia's Skipper
Master of Italian Liner
Tells Of Being Stopped
Off Azores Saturday
BY the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, Dec. 22.-The mas
ter of the Italian liner Saturnia re-
ported on arrival yesterday that
eight German-Jewish passengers
were taken off his ship by two
French submarines which halted
her off the Azores last Saturday.
The officer, Capt. Antonio Iviani,
made report of the incident to the
italian consulate. protesting that
one of the submarines had crossed
his bow without lights, after he had
been permitted to resume his voy-
age, so close that the Saturnia
missed destruction by 10 yards"
He said the French after signal
ing the liner to stop asked the one
question, Have you any Jews?" and
made no explanation, simply select
ing the eight passengers after going
through their passports.
The Italian skipper said the sub
marine commanders question "puz-
zled me bit because I did not un-
derstand at first why he should
be interested in taking off Jewish
passengers. We had $50 refugees
from Germany aboard. Later I
realized that they might have want
ed information from German Jews
who may have been in Germany re-
Gently"
When he protested the transfer of
passengers as being dangerous in
the dark, Capt. 1viani reported, the
French commander, accompanied by
six armed sailors, replied that the
Saturnia would be taken back to
Casablanca unless she obeyed orders.
One woman, travelling with her
2-year-old son, successfully appealed
to the French not to take her hus-
band, the master said. She was Mrs.
Deborah Thenen, who came here to
visit relatives.

MONTENEGRO, Dec. 22.-The

The Tacoma helped remove the

Informed sources said the Uru-

taken because of fear that the
Uruguayan rejection of German pro-

at Montevideo might provoke reac-

facing internment because of par

cut that may be entitled to month"; ly old-age insurance checks for the
 rest of their lives.
 The recipients of this notice win be those to whom lump-sum bene- fits have been paid since the federal old-age insurance system was es- abolished Jan. 1, 1887. The amend- ed act moves the date for monthly benefits up to two years to i940 and makes it possible for wage earner to qualify after he is 65 years old, even if he has already received a single cash settlement. Under the original law a qualified worker could obtain only lump-sum payment equal to 31a per cent of his total wages.
 This means that the man who was already 65 when the old-age in- surance system was set up and who therefore has never been under the federal program may now qualify for monthly benefits. To qualify for re- tirement insurance in 1940 it will be necessary for him to show that he has worked in six calendar quar- ters and received in each at least $50 in wages and has retired.
 If a person has already received a lump sum it will be deducted from the monthly payments which will be paid.
