THE WEEKLY QUIZ DIz is
funny and not so funny as we
neighbors wonder
WHY, in trying to arm U. S.
merchantmen, does congress
waste crucial weeks doctOring
up the neutrality law when
everyone knows the first shot
fired by an armed merchantmen
will blow the whole act wider
apart than the Cash and Carry
plan?
WHY, with Russia standing
punch drunk in the blood of her
armies for the need of equip
n1ent. does the subject of send
ing aid get second preference to
deIiberating if it's true what
Uncle Joe Stain says about
reIigion?
And, somehow this isn't funny,
either, as we continue quizzing-
WHY Is II that whenever
you're cropping through the dark
ness in your bare feet that the
rockers on the chairs always
stick out twice as far?
AND WHY, OH. WHY is
stuff like this permitted as we

BROTHERHOOD
By DR.. Charles Stelzle

Originally, the Church was a Brother
hood Including all classes and con.
ditions, it became a factor in the lives
of men that caused them to suffer aud
to sacrifice as nothing else has ever
done. It literally turned the world
upside down 1t brought in a new stan
dara of ethics However it may have
failed because of human limitations, il
has done more to usher in freedom than
all other agencies combined.
Real brotherhood cannot exist with
out love as wide as the world. There
can be no Brotherhood without the Fa-
therhood of God The Fatherhood Of
God implies a care for every one Of
his children, regardless of race, creed
color or economic condition. He sends
his rain upon the just and upon the
unjust HIS provision is for all.
The coming Of world Brotherhood
depends less upon Understanding plat.
forms and pronouncements than it does
upon our readiness to give to om
brothers their just due even in the
smaller affairs Of life. Platforms are
built merely TO stand upon. The test
ing time comes when we travel along
Iife's pathways.
When enough Of us catch the vision

IN MEMORY OF
W. B. HOWE

Who Left Us Three years ago Today
January q, 1898
I cannot think of him as dead,
Who walks with me no more
Along the path of life tread,
They have but gone before.
A precious one from us has gone
A voice we loved is still
A place is vacant in our home
Which never can be filled
Yes, he has gone for ever,
Gone and left us here to weep
TIL we are called to follow him
And in the grave to sleep;
But since he could no longer stay
To cheer us with his love
We hope to meet with him again
In Wonders bright heaven above.

Senator Murdoch, Democrat, of

ance by telling the Senators that
the Supreme Court has upheld the
Chief Executives right to devalue.
"No Present Intent Whatsoever"

committee Mr.. Morgenthau said:
There is no basis for believing
that We are going to have imitation

as jealous as Congress in taking
the steps to prevent imitation.
Obviously the administration has
no present intent whatsoever to
devalue the gold content of the
dollar. But certainly this is not the
time to remove flexible powers from
the Executive when the executives
of all other nations possess virtually
complete powers over the domestic
and external monetary affairs of
their countries.
What steps will be necessary in
the next two years in the interna-
tional monetary field depends to
considerable extent upon the wars
which are being fought all around
the globe We are not seers and we
cannot describe what the future
holds in store. I feel very strongly
that for Congress to remove this
power at the present time because
there is no immediate use for it
would be an unwise step in the face
OF an uncertain future"

Aircraft Output Scars
Al California Plants
By the Associated Press.


SAN FRANCISCO, June l3.-
Doubling defense production will be
nothing new to California aircraft
plants. In 10 months these plants
have more than doubled the employ
ment they had year earlier.
Their rate OF output has shown
even greater gains. In recent weeks,
production has been TRIPPING that
of a year ago. In a few weeks, OBJ
servers say, the industry will be pro-
ducing as many planes in single
month as it produced in the entire
first half of last year.
At the new Douglas plant in Long
Beach some operations already have
been started while the plant is be-
ing completed and fooled. Poten-
tial capacity has been estimated as
equal to that of all United States
plants year ago.
Lockheed output in the first five
months of this year was about equal
to its entire $45,000,0 900 production
of 1910.

Next in authority will be "key

trained in emergency duties. They
must account for every person in
the building, his identity and cit

designated post as loyal citizen
and eager patriot.
These key men will conduct de-
Tense classes, regulate the black
outs and enforce rules for personal
behavior of their people while bombs
are falling.
Many Tasks to Be Performed.
The service squads will construct
and maintain shelters, cooperate
with police and firemen, assist
mobile firSt-aid and rescue squads,
safeguard water and gas lines, roofs,
sanitation. boiler rooms and steam
pipes. ventilation, elevators, re-
frigeration. auxiliary power plants
and the thin beams Of permissible
indoor lighting.
Telephone operators will serve as
building messengers whenever other
communications are destroyed. Radio
men will operate Short-Wave sets
wherever available to direct defense
operations. Signal squads will man
observation posts continuously to
spot and report enemy bombers.
Watchers and guards will try to
prevent sabotage, robberies and acts
of violence, shadow persons with rel
atives in enemy countries whose
safety there might influence their
conduct, close all building entrances
after hours, patrol vital service Gen.
tiers and supply depots, register visit
ors and tag strangers, and super
wise building employees.
In event of war, shelters but

vided in the central corridors of

will be six stories above ground and
six stories below the top of steel
and concrete buildings.
Lin Million Bombing Odds.
An oddity of air attack is that only
one bomb in million strikes center
atop a skyscraper. Americans have
shuddered in apprehension of thou
sands of persons toppling to death
from great heights if these buildings
were hit. Bombs more likely strike
a glancing blow and rip out sections
of sidewall without serious damage,
or hit the street and shatter the
first six floors with steel splinters.
