few practice it.
It is just as important to think
right as it is to multiply correctly.
But right thinking however involv-
es spiritual thinking. Any thinking
that neglects, omits, or excludes the
consideration of Gods truth and it's
application to one s life, or ones re-
lationship to God, is erroneous think
ing and can never bring one to the
solution of his problem.
This is why the greatest Of all
teachers directed US to seek first the
kingdom of God and His righteous
ness. ,HsaAN
The more spiritual is your thinking,
the larger and the clearer is the chan
mel through which the divine blessings
and the heavenly aids will flow into
your life. /.
In the first place spiritual thinking
will safeguard you from making the
many mistakes and fall into the many
miseries which are experienced by
those who try to live Independently OF
God.
Spiritual thinking will daily bless
you because it continually brings
your mind into a harmony with the
Divine Mind. It erects something OF
Jacobs ladder" down which come
the angels of God to bring to you the
messages by which God seeks to d.
rect your life toward success and hap.
piness.
Like turning the dial of your radio
to get the program you want, spiri'
tual thinking tunes your mind to re-
ceive from the divine mind clearer
comprehension of that truth which
blesses your life.
Spiritual thinking is the channel o.
that power that will make your life
radiant.

Field. The plane caught fire imme-
diately and both men were horribly
burned.
Officials of the Army Air Base said

up a tow-target and the plane crash
ed before it cleared the field.
Both the officers were members OF
the Twentieth Bombardment Squad

Desserts of Leftover Cake
Crumbs Added Motive
For Cake Baking

The grand uses to which one can
put leftover cake crumbs is motive
enough in itself for cake baking.
With this thought in mind, the house.
wife should never hesitate to bake a
cake as one cake can 60 into the max
ings of dozens of fine desserts, pro-
vided, Of course, that there is any
leftover.
CAKE CRUMB MOUSSE
Put all leftover pieces of cake, in
GLIDING the frosting, into tin and
dry, put through the food-chopper,
place in the open to dry out. When
whip cream and add mashed fruit and
cake crumbs. If the crumbs are quite
sweet because of the frosting, add no
more sugar. A little almond extract
will make the cake crumbs in the
cream taste like macaroons.
CHOCOLATE ICE BOX CAKE
Put dry chocolate cake through
food chopper. Take two cups of dry
crumbs, add beaten eggs, and fold
in 1-2 pint of whipped cream. Put In
q mold and set in the refrigerator to
chill.

Machinery Builders
To GET 0. P. NJ. LIST

Special Dispatch to The Star.

NEW YORK, July 80. P. M.
will shortly send out list of specific
defense projects with their priority
rating, indicating the projects with
in any one priority group, such as
Alb, which are to be favored first
with deliveries of equipment and
materials, reports Burnham Finney
in today'S issue of American Ma
chiniSt.
This action, it is stated will aid
machlne-tool builders tremendously
in determining what customer in a
gwen classification is to secure tools
ahead OF another customer. Hereto
fore the only breakdown provided
by Washington has been to put GER
tain items, such as ships and planes
and anti-aircraft guns, into classi-
flcationS (like A-l-C, for instance.
Many people in the Woodworking
industry believe that subcontracting
should be tried out more extensively
than it has been before the Govern
ment resorts to such drastic meas
ures as the Seizure bill now before
Congress, which permits the Gov
eminent to take a critical machine
out of one plant and put it in an
other where it may be needed for
defense work.
UnWittingly the Government, by
such action, might completely Grip
pie the plant from which the ma
chine has been removed, thus caus-
ing considerable unemployment. Al
ready protests are being made to
O. P. NJ because unemployment in
non-defenSe industries is growing
rapidly, due to the working of the
prlorities system.
An industry committee for ma
chine tools soon will be set up in o.
P. M. The committee will be SIM
liar to committees in such industries
as steel and automobiles and will in
clude representatives of press build
ers and of machinery manufacturers
whose products normally are not
classified as machine tools.

NEW YORK, July 8.-Cotton to-
day scared to 11-year-high levels as
a heavy demand from mill, trade
and speculative interests boosted
values as much as s1.70 bale.
The advance was given impetus
by opposition to price control meas
ures, bullish Government acreage
report and mill covering against
Government contracts for cotton
goods.
The sale of about 10000 bales of
cotton by a leading spot interest,
profit taking and July liquidation
against 20 delivery notices were
readily on the upturn.
Late prices were up 26 to 33 points,
or $130 to S165 a bale. July sold
at 1920; December, 1851, and May,
1883.
Active profit taking developed in
the final half-hour cutting the ear
lier advance about in half. The
close was barely steady at 55 to 95
cents bale higher.

MONTGOMERY, Ala, April l9-
Attorneys General of 10 Southern
States will contend before the
United States Supreme Court that
Congress, rather than the courts lis
the proper medium to which an ap-
peal to abolish the practice of segre-
CATION should be made"
Intervening in a case brought by
Arthur w. Mitchell. colored Repre-
sentative from Illinois, who was re-
quired to leave a railroad sleeping
car on trip from Chicago to Hot
Springs, Ark, in 1887, the Southern
ers also will contend that:
The questions of the applicability
of the separate coach law of the
State of Arkansas to interstate pas
sengers, and of it's constitutionality,
if applied to interstate passengers,
are not properly before the court for
consideration and determination in
this case"
Attorney General Thomas S.. Law
son of Alabama, who suggested the
intervention, today forwarded to
Washington brief setting out
grounds on which it was claimed
segregation statutes were enacted
for the purpose of promoting the
welfare. comfort. peace and safety
Of the people of both races"
The brief denies that State seq
regation statutes violate the four
teenth amendment to the Federal
Constitution, and adds:
1T is significant that, despite
many years of agitation and repeat
ed court decisions sustaining State
policies of segregation, the Congress
has not seen fit to enact legislation
bearing directly on this controver-
sial issue ="
The brief was signed by Attorneys
General Lawson, Jack Holt of Ar

Ellis Arnall of Georgia, Hubert
Meredith of Kentucky, Eugene Stan
