been said that character is the abil- ity to choose well, and nobody chooses well who has not practiced the art of choosing for long time.
 We are told in the Bible that God made man after His own image, and certainly this statement means, among other things, that God has conferred upon human beings that most divine of all prerogatives. the right to choose between alternatives. The Garden of Eden story means that when confronted with the op- portunity to learn through obedi- ence or to learn through experience, man deliberately chose the latter. It appears that God has decided that the training of our characters shall take place in the experience of choosing between two or more pos abilities.
 We make . mistake when we do all the choosing for our children They grow by making choices, al- though of course they must be guid- ed considerably in their choosing. And we make a mistake when we complain against the hardness of fife or its complexity because we have to confront the problem of choice. It is by this means that our minds and spirits mature.

 Though war abroad, and the need to build up adequate national de- fense, have made demands upon the automobile manufacturers which have curtailed pleasure car production, there nevertheless are new and improved models on the market. Tn the sections of The Times today devoted to these lat est models will be found full de- scriptions Of the new machines.
 Since the demand for new auto mobiles is greater than can be sup- piled, it follows that machines al-
