Dissects the News

WASHINGTON, June 4-Expan-
sion of the nations military air
force has begun to put the squeeze
on the commercial air lines.
Because the army and navy are
taking cvery qualified flicr they
can lay their hands on, good air
line p,iots G:c hard to get these
days. The commercial aviation bus
i!'oss Is expanding, just as the army
and navy air forces are-but the
government gcts first call on tho
supply OF pilots, and tho supply is
V7ry definitely limited.
Cnco. no major air llnc would
even consider Job application from
a pilot who could not show at least
1000 hours in the air Today a man
with 500 air hours is likely to get
work quickly
That doesn't mean that the air
lines arc cntruStinG their transport

CHRISTIAN REFUGEES
IN AMERICA
(New York Herald Tribunc)

NA>C" OIh I16IdIU 1IlDunct
he American committee for alleviate
ing the lot of those driven from their
home countries to begin life anew has
issued booklet in which its aims and
methods are explained Perhaps as good
way as any to express these is by selec-
tionS from a list of questions and an
SwerS prepared for public use:
How many Christian refugees are
there in the United States at present?
About 20,000
"llow many are involved altogether?
At least 100000 Christians and non
Aryans are potential cmigreS.
What are United States government
restrictions on this immigration? \
guaranty that the refugee will not be
come a public charge physical tests and
the quota law, which permits less than
10000 to enter annually from the Ger
man Reich.
Don't they take Jobs from Ameri-
cans? Seldom. Those who earn a living
normally go into relatively mcrowded
fields or into Jobs using their special
abilities. For every three who work,
there are seven consumers"
In the first six years of the Hitler gov
ernment nearly 250,0O0 persons from all
countries were admitted to the United
States for permanent residence. Almost
the same number left the country. In
1889 the full quota entered, and it is
expected that the same will be true for
1910. The committee. in inviting sup
port, recalls that the United States has
been "a land Of refugees" since the land
ing Of the Mayflower and it is from these
arrivals. that the country has grown
great and prosperous Those who are
interested in furtherng its work may
send contributions to the American Com
mittee for Christian Refugees. inc 2S7

sLOVE, C0URTSHIP
AND MARRIAGE
BY ERNEST X. AND GLADYS ii.
GROVES
Noted Authorities on Marriage
Relations

Those who look longingly at the
wedding bells that ring for others,
but not for them, have only them
selves to thank. Somewhere along
the road, they have taken one turn
after another leading to single, ra-
ther than double, blessedness.
Some are very we'll satisfied with
their independent situation. Others
at times convince themselves that
they are in sorry predicament.
This, however, may be just bit
of the play-acting that ali of us
indulge in occasionally, casting our
selves in the leading role, particu-
larly if it be tragic one.
Those who seem cut out for
marriage" yet fail to achiev1 it are
the ones who can do most for them
selves. They may have been going
on, wear after year, in the place,
CT job or social group, which tIcy
happen to have made their own, re-
gardess of the fact that it holds
out little hope of their meeting M;y
marriagcablc person.
iSomc arc too modest perhaps
because ovcr-proud, or afraid to
risk having their feelings hurt by
laying themselves open to ridiculC-
to show themselves as they are, and
therefore hide the most interest
ing layers Cf their pcrc o.ality. Thon
they wonder why they attract only
mediocre. unintcrcsting people.
Those who arc but a little less
ghv fccl at case only with those
whom they think of as inferior.
A few are SO Self-conScious about
marriage whether because they are
afraid of showing their cagerncSh
to attain it, or because they have
been turned against tho idea OF
marrying 'pcrhapS by the imprint
of the happenings of childhood in
an unhappy hOmc), that they make
friends only with unmarriagcablc
or already married people.
This is dOubly risky, since, in
spite of their anti-marriacc slant,
they may be swept off their feet
hv an unexpected love for a mar
Yicd person.

And fire ard sword shall sweep

Worship of Sun Linked
To Stone Age Farmers

Worship of the sun as distinct
object apparently did not start until
the new Stone age, when man had
developed crude, agriculture. In
the old Stone age all nature was
looked upon as "a great human
ghost" the spirits of the dead were
supposed to enter into natural OBJ
jects and the trees, animals, rocks
and clouds were endowed with hui
man qualities. =.
With the advent of crops regularly
sown and harvested, the one natural
object upon which these crops de-
pended was singled out for special
reverence, writes a correspondent
to the Wisconsin Star. A great
wealth of sun symbols is first noted
in this period of pre-history. The
paintings and carvings of old Stone
age men show no designs that can
be connected directly with the sun.
Worship of the sun has gone
around the earth. 1t was a prom
inent part of the religion of ancient
Egypt, where at one time it was
refined into a monotheistic system
which ranks as one of the worlds
great religions. 1t was almost uni
versal among American Indian
tribes, reaching it's greatest refine
ment among the Incas of Peru,
where the rulers were supposed to
be directly descended from the sun.
The japanese ruling family traces
its neurological descent from the
same source.

EASIEST Time TO CURE DRAFTS
is when YOU BUILD!
WATCH THESE Three PLACESIF
YOU WOULD STOP Them

There is just no excuse for drafts in
your new home, because drafts are
definitely durable if you will watch just
three places-and all three places are,
around your windows.
First and foremost offender in the
making of drafts in your new home is
the window frame. Now you've never
bought window frames so you don't know
anything about them and that is one rea-
son why so many home builders have
drafty windows, because they were care
less about the window frame that went
into their homes. Now, we aren't going
to go into detail about window frames.
We just want you to remember that the
most important thing about window
frame is how it joins the wall. Ii it
makes a permanent leakproof weather.
tight Joint with the wall-fne and dandy.
If it doesn't, you'll have drafts, no end
of drafts. How can you make sure about
a weathertight joint? Just specify that
the window frames used in your new
home have wide blind stop construction.
This special construction should be IA
miliar to your contractor.
Proper Fitting Necessary
Next in Importance to window frame
is the window sash (the part of the VIM
dow that moves within the frame). Many
home builders buy window frames in one
place and sash in another with the result
that the sash and frame never fit proper
" in spite Of trimming and cutting on
the Job. And sash that don't fit properly
cause drafts, and more drafts. The mod
ern trend is towards what is known as
complete window units that are delivered
with frame and sash precision fitted to
each other at the factory Many of these
window units are even complete with
weatherstrip. In any event be sure that
the window sash are fitted properly to
the window frame and you'll eliminate
another big source of drafts.
Glass Cools Air
Now here is the third cause of drafts.
It's warm air being quickly cooled
against single pane of glass. The cold
air then drops to the floor. This flow
of air causes drafts. What's the cure?
A double pane of glass. Some windows
are made so that this double pane of
glass fits on the inside of the window,
while the most common is the ordinary
storm windows which are hung on the
outside. Whether your double glass is
inside or outside, the result is the same.
The glass that is within the heated room
is kept warmer by the dead air space
between the double panes. Result: Warm
air is not cooled so fast: no cool air-no
drafts.

Yorkshire, England, in 1449. Some
time in the latter part of her life
she penned a remarkable series
of prophecies in rhyme that have
Been passed down from genera
ton to generation. Some addi-
t.uns may have been made to it
we can't say as to that-but
pass it on to our readers for what
it is worth, since it does foretell
many things that have occurred:
A carriage without horse shall 60,
Disaster fill the world with woe;
In London Primrose Hill shall be,
It's center hold Bishops see,
Around the world mems thoughts
shall fly,
Quick as the twinkling of an eye.
And waters shall great wonders
do
How strange, and yet it shall
come true,
Then upside down the world shall
be,
And gold found at the root of a
tree;
Thru towering hills proud man
shall ride,
No horse or ass move by his side.
Beneath the water shall walk;
Shall ride, shall sleep, and even
talk;
And in the air men shall be seen,
In white, in black, as we'll as
green,
A great man then shall come and
go,
For prophecy declares it SO.
In water iron then shall float
AS easy as a wooden boat,
Gold shall be found in stream OF
stone
In land that is yet unknown.
Water and fire shall wonders do,
And England shall admit a Jew.
A Jew that once was held IN
scorn
Shall of a Christian then be born,
A house of glass shall come to
pass
In England-but alas, alas,
A war will follow with the work
Where dwells the pagan and the
Turk.
The States shall lock in fiercest
strife,
And seek to take each others life;
When North shall then divide the
South
The eagles build in liens mouth.
Then tax and blood and cruel
war
Shall come to every humble door.
Three times shall sunny, lovely
France
Be led to play a bloody dance;
Before the people shall be free,
Three tyrant rulers shall she SET
Each sprung from a different ely
nasty.
Then when the fiercest fight Is
done,
England and France shall be one
The British olive next shall tWine
In marriage with the German
vine,
Men walk beneath and over
streams
Fulfilled shall be our strangeSt
dreams.
All England's sons that pillow the
land
Shall oft be seen with book i'm
hand.
The poor shall now most wisdom
Know,
And water wind where corn doth
crow.
