out on the bow spirit when the ship
was making heavy going.
The Aim pictured Malcolm Davis.
keeper Of the Bird House at the Zoo,
scrambling through the snow after
penguins and seals, with the aid Of
cheering section and several vol
unteers.
The men chased the tricky PEN
gums and pounced on them like
amateur footballers after bouncing
punt.
Mr.. Davis was present in the
audience, but declined to explain his
tactics when called upon by Mr..
Hawthorne from the stage of the
Interior Department Auditorium.
Whales at Close Range.
Government experts said the film
contained one of the most remark
able records known Of whales at
close range. This was taken In the
Bay of Whales, where six of the
huge mammals were shown sound
ing at one time, spouting great
plumeS of warm breath into the
frosty air. There was q closeup
of a school of Mincke whales breach
ing almost under the bow of the
ship.
When the Bear pulled out from
Annapolis recently, Mr.. Davis was
on the wharf waving good-by to his
comrades. AS the ship cast of her
lines, the explorers lined her rail
and yelled at Mr.. Davis:
Come on. Macl Come on and 60
with us! Hop aboardl 1t isn't too
late!"
Mr.. Davis, standing by his wife,
could only shake his head-he had
his job to think Of.
Come on. Mac" they yelled. well
help you catch some more penguins!"
II had to hold him." Mrs. Davis
said.

your enemies. Do good to them that
hate you. Render not evil for evil,
but return evil with good.
There is a jungle story Of monkeys
who found O string of priceless
pearls. Pearls naturally meant moth
ing to the monkeys, but their leader
knew that something about the lus-
trous rope Of shining white globes
was rare. So through the tree-tops
he went, waving his find, chattering
and squawking, and after him came,
chattering and squawlxing, his noisy
people.
Just SO ny n knew, even from the
beginning, at what the Master
preached w. Irare; that in those
simple words<ay the secret of life,
the cure for all the worlds dis
orders. He seized upon his prize
and carried it down the years, call
ing to all who would listen that he
had found something quite unique
among the worlds treasures.
But apparently saan knew no more
how to Use It than the monkeys
knew what to do with their pearls.
:. lyman HAD known there would new
er have been a war; there would
never have been poverty and slums,
with all that they breed of suffering
and crime and sickness. There
would never have been kings nor rul-
ers, for the greatest among us would
have been our servant, and it would
have been the noble object of the
leaders to see how humble, how
helpful, how like the Master they
might make themselves.
We know how different has been
the worlds storyl We know that
hate and greed and fear are reach
ing their fateful zenith today, and
that in all Europe there are only q
few nations left where one may dare
voice even the name Of Christ. We
know that in stupid blindness, we
have been building Maginot lines
and Siegfried lines Of hatred and re-
venge in our hearts, and that the
war fever is crossing the ocean to
touch us and infect US with the mad
ness that is reigning there.
Pray for Guidance.
But still the miracle of the Christ
mas Child lives on. He Is still near,
with His eternal promise of peace
and forgiveness and love. However
full OF mistakes the past, It can be
wiped away by the simple prayer
that brings to Him a child's heart
and child's trust. We don't know
the way out of the darkness. We
have lost faith in ourselves. But
the way is always there. And the
promise is always there; TASK and
ye shall receive. Knock, and Il shall
be opened unto you"
A sobered Christmas, a quiet
Christmas,-not like our usual joy
Gus holidays. But perhaps to prove
someday the most fruitful Of even
tual good that the world has known
since the first Christmas of all.
So l think our prayer this Christ
mas should be only q prayer tor
guidance. Not that dictatofs WILL
die and guns will succeed and con-
querors be humbled and ships be
sunk, Not anything about great
world affairs at all.
But that in each one of our hearts
new spirit will be born at that
star-lighted hour when the Child
Himself is born anew.

MARTINS suCESsnR

Martin is very eager to shed him
self Of the Craftsmanship.
The undercover maneuvering for
the strategic place already is hot.
Tom Dewey, Governor Bricker of
Ohio, Sen. Bob Taft, Senator Van
denberg and others, with 1914 in
mind, each is determined that no
one hostile to him shall get it. The
situation calls for a neutral, or
someone acceptable to a combina-
ton of the leaders.
Martin privately is afraid that It
won't be possible to find either and
that to avoid battle-royal he will
be stuck as national chairman for
some time to come.

THE romantic story of a print
i hen and rooster, aided and
abetted by Cupid in daisy form, is
entertainingly told in motifs for a
set of tea towels. Any bride, or
matron, would welcome clever
towels like these; there is one for
each day of the week. The two
extra motifs are for matching pam
holders to complete the set.

MERRY-GO-ROUND

William Reuther, young, red
haired executive of the United Auto
Workers, has submitted a plan to
defense authorities whereby, by US
ing the entire auto industry as one
plant, it would be possible within
six months to produce an all-metal,
single-motor pursuit plane at the
rate Of 500 day. Under Reuther's
sensational program the planes not
only would incorporate all the latest
developments Of Britain's famous
Spitfres but would cost only one
third their present price.

TINE best thing that we can.
say for the old world is
= that once in it's history a
Man was born who spoke
strange, unbelievable, startling
and unacceptable truths.
The reason we know that what
He said was true is that although
for twenty centuries all sorts of
brilliant and scientific men
have been trying to prove that
He was mistaken, still, in that
tribunal that is the heart of the
people, these words of His live
on, and grow more and more
brilliant with time, and for
every voice that denies Him, a
hundred other voices speak up
loudly in His defense.
That fact is the one miracle that
the world has known. All other mir
acles stem from it through the acts
OF His followers, or like wars and
scientific discoveries and astronomi-
cal prophecies turn out to be no
miracles at all.
1t sometimes rather amuses me
when young mbefievers challenge
the Bible stories of miracles. The
sick man at the pool was only a
hypochondriac, they say, he could
always have picked up his bed and
walked if he had wanted to. The
water made wine was always wa
ter only the wedding guests were in
an amiable mood and thought il
wine. The blind man was a fakirr
he wasn't blind.
His Name Marches On.
Why, what more do these skeptics
want than the living, blazing, I'M
equalled miracle that Christ's name
Is today in our modern, whirling,
mechanical world, in this country,
whose simplest everyday fact was
undreamed in His day? When as our
first human landmark, we speak Of
the miracle that was-and is-the
Masters eternally old and eternally
new story, what episode in all his
tory comes second? What other
event deserves to be mentioned even
in remotest connection with it?
For here was a baby born in pow
erty, reared as a carpenters son
in a small oriental town, growing
to manhood unknown, His friends
equally humble and obscure, His
early death marking Him as q Grim
inal.
No press, no influence, no power
full adherents to defend His name.
No written word of His to live and
justify him. And yet in America
today large numbers of papers,
printed daily, carry that name as
their inspiration and reason for be-
ing, and 1t Is safe to say that no
daily journal ever is printed with
out that name.
Substitutes Love for Hate.
The law this Man laid down TO a
few idle villagers and fisher folk
was q terrible law. II was terrible
in its newness, its courage, its impli-
cations. For it stripped man of re-
venge and substituted forgiveness;
1t stripped him of self and substi-
tuted neighbor; it stripped him of
hate and substituted love.
And man was afraid. Afraid, even
in that simpler day, to follow the
Masters law as he had followed the
Masters feet. He is afraid today.
Our churches will be crowded. this
Christmas day, and such churches
as are left amid the smoking black
ness that once was beauty and &C
tivity and prosperity in Europe, will
be crowded, too. There will be be-
wildered heartache here; there will
be bitter sobbing there. But not any
where will there be voices strong
enough to preach His law. Forgive

VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS

VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS
Secretary of Commerce Jesse
Jones wasn't exaggerating when he
predicted that this would be the
most prosperous Christmas in his
tory.
Economists of the federal reserve
ments estimate Yuletide business
season surprising even the peak in
1929. According to their private fig
ures, dollar sales will about equal
1929, but business volume will be
considerably heavier (1940 price lev
els are nearly 20 per cent lower).
That is, each dollar spent will buy
about one-fifth more than it did in
the last of the boom years
This is the way the experts fore
cast the Christmas season.:
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES of the vast
defense program, employment will
he greater this month than at any
time since 1929, with more than st.
00O,00 Excluding temporary Christ
mas employees) on private payrolls
AN increase of 400, 900 over De-
cember, 1899.
Payrolls-Manufacturing payrolls
will be IL per cent greater than last
December. That means SIS, 900, 900
more week will be paid in wages
to industrial workers.
Retail trade-Sales generally will
be from 8 to 10 per cent greater
than 1889. Department store sales
will be per cent more than last
Christmas, but still under record
breaking 1929. On the other hand,
mail order and variety store sales
will be the highest in history.
A very Merry Christmas, indeed
WILLKIE AND NEW CHAIRMAN
There is suffering of ire among
Republican national committeeman
when they heard that Wendell Will
kie considers it his right to name
the successor to National Chairman
Joe Martin, who wants to quit in
order to give all his time to bossing
the house Republicans.
Willkie picked Martin, and now
takes the position that he also is
entitled to select Martins successor.
But to the hard-headed, political
professionals, a candidate running
for office and a defeated candidate
are horses Of entirely different col
ors. The first is a potential incun-
bent who may have patronage and
favors to dispense, and therefore
commands the right to call the tune.
But a defeated standard-bearer is
a has-been, and the boys are not in
terested in faded hopes.
So Wilkes claim to continued
party leadership is meeting with
very glacial response. When he told
some of the national committeeman
that they should name the man he
wants, the boys tactfully, but point
eddy, replied that the national COM
mittee is an elected body and alone
has the power to fill Craftsmanship
vacancy.

PARITY PAYMENTS

gress is still chiefly in the talk"
stage, but one thing can be put down
as definite: The parity payment pro-
gram at best is due for a big slash.
In the new budget now being
framed, parity payments are not en-
tirely eliminated, but they are cut
to the bone. Instead of the S212,-
600, 900 voted last spring, the figure
under consideration is only $50,
600. And even this isn't certain.
1t is entirely possible, under the
policy of holding down all normal"
expenditures to the bone to provide
more funds for defense, that the
parity item may be eliminated en-
tirely before the budget is finished.
Some congressional farm leaders
are making no secret of their desire
to supplant parity loans with
more financially sound plan. Chief
among them is Rep. Hampton Full
mer Of South Carolina, new chair
man Of the house agriculture COM
mittee, who is strong advocate of
the Income certificate plan"
This is a modified version of the
old AAA processing tax under which
professors would pay growers the
difference between the market price
and parity, in certificates purchased
from the government.
