bombed Hamburg last night.
The official agency said that ten

Thirteen houses we're destroyed, 1t
added, and one raiding plane was
shot down by anti-aircraft guns.
The high commands communique
today was one OF the briefest and
least detailed OF recent weeks and
the hour OF It's release was the lat
est Of any daily communique since
the war started.
Instead Of being released at about

when 1t appeared.
The communique gave no inkling
OF what actual gains the Germans
had made and was notable In that

omission was due to military discre-
ton or stiffened French resistance
was not made clear.

CONE NATION, IND1v1s1BLE,

They look different-the different
parts of this country. The elm shaded
streets of old New England towns are
not at all like the wind blown streets
OFF prairie villages. The square white
houses topped with "eaptain walks"
of seaport settlements have an atmos-
phere about them that is altogether
lacking in the new stucco houses of the
Southwest.
But underneath and through it all
is something stronger than these diff
ferences; something more potent than
the fascinating variety. And that is
the sameness.
Everywhere you go, from Maine to
California, we are. first and foremost
and above all, Americans. We are
nourished by the same traditions
stirred by the same impulses-inspired
by the same ideals and, to be mundane
and practical. served by the same pro-
ducers.
A 10-cent store on the street Of a
town built by sea-faring Yankees in
the 18th century even smells the same

years ago. Looking at the familiar dis

| lonal differences and regional cultures.
But there would not be the strength,
the similarity of outlook and the posi-
bility for national unity such as the
world has never known, without this
national uniformity.
If the good people of Connecticut
ate a breakfast food the good people
of Nebraska had never heard of :. /. if
the movie stars of Hollywood had a
face cream unknown to the ladies of
New York. and if the people of
South Carolina drove cars strange to
Michigan, this country couldn't be
what it is today and will be tomorrow
Eating the same foods. using the
same face powder. wearing the same
clothes. using the same vacuum
cleaners. driving the same cars, gives
us an understanding of each other that
has nothing to do with distance or
climate or historical background.
So it is OUR manufacturers, as well
as our writer's and statesmen and ed
ucators, that make us one people. For
by producing goods for Americans as
a whole and by a unique system of dis
tribution they are able to sell them in
every city. town and village through
out this far-flung land.
Thus are we united by our every
day habits of living, as well as by our

the portal from death into Life; and
when this Life shall appear we shall
be like Him. and we shall go to
the Father, not through death, but
through Life; not through error, but
through Truth"
The continuity Of good is the spiri-
tual fact of which we can become
conscious here and now. Since the
source of all good is infinite Spirit,
good itself is spiritual and infinite,
to be realized in proportion to the
! individuals understanding of spiritual
realities.
! The continual daily supply of good
flowing from divine Love to each one
knows no limitation, no cessation, no
interference, and no obstruction to it's
clear expression. 1t includes and en-
bodies the full fruition of hope, under
standing. confidence, and expectancy
of good.
The individual discernment Of this
truth is requisite to it's attainment or
| demonstration. St. Paul recognized
| this fact when he said in his second
letter to the Corinthians (9:8), God
is able to make all grace abound
toward you; that We, always having
all sufficiency in all things, may
abound to every good work" -.
Ones continual daily supply Of good
comes naturally and spontaneously, as
one places his entire dependence upon
divine Love. 1t is not subject to ma
terial conditions, neither is it in any
way limited or restricted. 1t comes,
as did the mama in the wilderness,
through the operation Of the law of
infinita pood through which also tho
loaves and fishes were multiplied. This
ever-present, continuous supply is the
divinely natural manifestation of
Gods loving care for His children, and
is exemplified in daily experience,

combines with right activity of
thought, deed, and purpose, in the up-

Attractive Birdhouses
Lure Singing Tenants

The song Of birds Is one Of the
extr& Joys Of having q home. They
don't just happen along-they may
be attracted to your vicinity by ef-
fort and one Of the best ways Is
to provide q house for them. Not
just any old house-and not neces-
sarily . reproduction of the Tai
Mahal-but q house designed for
the particular bird you wish to at
tract. (The Garden Dictionary lists
the specifications for various birds.)
Have the opening just large enough
for the, bird you wish to attract and
have 1t well above the center of the
box. Use wood for construction as
sun heats metal and kills the young
birds. Make 1t 30 that Is is easily
