Questions asked in the Music
Division of the Public Library re-
fleet the drawing tC close OF the
years concert and opera season and
the coming of the time when music
lovers will be almost entirely de-
pendent for their music on radio
programs and phonograph records.
In recent years the phonograph
has become increasingly popular,
and the art of recording has at
tanned a degree of technical perfec-
ton and artistic fidelity undreamed
in the early days of talking ma
chimes" Record collecting is no
longer an expensive hobby. Phono-
graphs are now available in a wide
range of prices, and two leading
commercial record companies have
recently halved their record prices.
For those enthusiastic collectors
who seek advice about what type
of phonograph to buy, what needle
to use and which recording OF a
given work is the best, the following
books are suggested:
The newly published Record
Book" by David Hall is treasure
trove for any collector. 1t is a
photography of records with critical
comment, and includes nearly every

The Pomegron1te
By w. Adolphe Rob

By W. AdoLpne hoOertS. IN
dianapoliS:: bS-MerriH Co.
Set in the mythical country of
Caribbea, apparently in Central
America, this is a novel rich in the
color as well as the intrigue Of
sun-kissed lands. Revolution in
this tropical state is farcical, but
underlying its musical comedy
aspects there is the theoretical
struggle for the triumph of democ-
racy. The book opens with die
tatorship, flowers with revolution
into a provisional democracy and
closes as it opened, with a strong
military man assuming full power.
The development of dance star
parallels the revolution and ap-
pears to be just as important to
the young journalist hero, Felipe
de Sonar, who transfers his affeC
tions in the course of the tale from
the fiery Pillar Obando to the deli
cate Lilita. Pillar is The Pome-
granate"-"a fruit with the heat of
the tropics in it, a definite hard
ness and flame"
Felipe is pictured as a realist,
carried into revolution on the
strength of his own torrid editorial,
but innocent of the military way
of life. In contrast with him are
the guerilla general, Garcia, and
the hard-bitten Selva, who winds
up in the dictator's seat.

Charleston: An Epic of
Carolina

By Robert GoodlOyn Rhett.
Richmond: Garrett & MaSsie,
Inc.
The history of Charleston, S. c.,
is the history of the entire Deep
South for so years after its found
ing in 1870. 1t is the history OF the
State for century, until the found
ing of Columbia as the upstate"
capital. The influence Of the old
seaside city was dominant for an
other hundred years, or until the
Ben Tillman revolution in the 1680s
seized political control from the Low
Country aristocrats.
Through all these changes, and
wars and fires and earthquakes,
Charleston has remained one Of the
few American cities with distinct
personality of its own. Mr.. Rhett
(the name Is guarantee to those
who know Charleston) does not
dwell upon the personality of the
city in his history. Instead, he tells
straightforward story Of its
founding and the main events in
its life from remote 1870 to the
present. The early part of the story
is good, full history; the later years
sound too much like chamber of
commerce material.
One wishes for fuller account of
the earthquake of 1886, one of the
most devastating that have ever
happened to an American city. One
wishes there had been some discus
sion, by one who surely was in
position to know, of how Charleston
has been able to keep alive its patri-
clan tradition. And one wishes, most
of all, that this handsome book.
with its big type and spacious
formal had been Illustrated with
pictures of beautiful old Charleston
instead of pictures of its stern, less
beautiful founders and defenders.

MODEL HOMES BUILT
OUT OF BURNT MATCHES

Dorsey Johnson, former Seaford
and Blades barber who is now nom
paying guest at the Sussex County
penal farm has found fascinating
pastime to while away the idle hours
of his sojourn. He has learned how
to construct model homes from burnt
matchsticks, and now has on display
in Seaford and Blades a number of
really striking examples of his handi-
work.
Thousands of matches go into the
tiny homes yet so perfectly have they
been fitted and glued together it is
possible to pick up large rambling
structure without fear of damaging
or it's falling apart.

RADIANT LIVING
Lots Wife Not Curious
By Rev. C. M. Griffeth
CeciltOn. Md.
CeciltOn, Md.

When did you last read Of the es-
cape of Lots wife from the burning
city of Sodom? Do you not remem-
Der how she was warned when flee
ing for her life not to look back?
Yet in spite of this warning, she
suddenly glanced back over her Shout
der and Immediately turned into a
pillar of salt.
We have always been told that, the
reason Lots wife looked back was be-
cause she was very curious woman
But this is not so.
If she had been of such disposition
would she not have been just as cur
ious to know where the strange mer
were hurrying her? She already
knew what lay behind, and that was
why she looked back.
The reason she looked back was be-
cause there was something back there
in that city which she did not want tc
leave. She was fearful as to what
might happen to it. There was some.
thing in her heart that was akin to
the spirit of the licentious city from
which she did not want to be wrenched
away by the urgency of these inter
ferring angels.
BY her backward look she reveal
ed her perverted nature. BY her
backward look she demonstrated the
fact that she was not fitted for that
wholesome living which is typified by
the pure air and glorious sunshine of

Though it might not happen very
often, still, there are those times
when the housewife has bought and
cooked more corn on the cob than
her family could eat at that partlcu-
lar meal. And what shame 1t Is
that so many people just calmly dis
card these leftover ears-not know
ing that such fine dishes as the fol-
lowing can be made from them.

1-2 cup milk
1 1-8 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 eggs, beaten
2 cups cooked corn
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon melted fat
Pour the milk and corn which has
been cut from the cob, together. Add

der and salt. Add the fat and the
beaten eggs. Bake like other waffles.

Diamonds Play Important
Part In Manufacture of
Copper Telephone Wire

Diamonds are hard stones-so hard
in fact that the Western Electric
Company pulls copper telephone wire
through them at speed Of 100 miles
an hour in order to reduce the wire to
the required size.
Machines for this high speed wire
drawing are designed, made and
operated by Western Electric as the
manufacturer for the Bell telephone
system. One of these machines pulls
about 10000 miles of wire through
diamond die before it is necessary to
repolish the stone. The wire starts
larger than the hole and is passed
through diamonds with successfully
smaller openings until it is Of the
desired size. Western Electric engi-
neers reported that by using a die Of
the next best material only about 200
miles of wire can be drawn at once.
This new speed for wire drawing is
of great Importance now in rushing
wire for national defense purposes.

clearer views OF Life, Truth, and

clearer views OF Life, Truth, and
Love.
The genuine strength of individu-
ais, groups, or nations is in exact
proportion to their exercise of spir-
itual power. Power is not in arms,
in lands, or in money. Each indi-
vidual makes a real contribution to
world progress when he purifies his
own thought and claims abundant
spiritual strength for man. Only
spiritual strength can overcome the
aggressive elements of thought that
are abroad in the world today.
Greed, pride, fear. and tyranny are
human weaknesses. Obedience to the
law of God ensures genuine strength.
The Scriptures say (lsaiah 40 :31),
"They that wait upon the Lord shall
renew their strength; they shall
mount up with wings as eagles; they
shall run, and not be weary; and
they shall walk. and not faint"
Speaking of this passage, Mary Baker
Eddy writes (Science and Health, p.
218), "1he meaning of that passage
is not perverted by applying il liter
ally to moments of fatigue. for the
moral and physical are rs one in
their results. "-1'he CMtsttun Science

Strength

V found comfort and strength in
A contemplation of the loving in
vitation of the Master Matthew
11:2S), "Come unto me, all We that
labour and are heavy laden, and
will give you rest" This is a call to
mankind to cast out fear, doubt, and
sin, and to utilize the truth that
makes one free.
Il was his understanding Of God as
Spirit and Of the .spirituaa nature OF
man that gave Christ Jesus dominion
over sin, disease, and death. His con-
scious unity with God made him the
Exemplar for all time Circumstances
could form no obstacles to his right
eous activity. He walked on the water,
fed the multitude, healed the sick,
and raised the dead. 1t was no ma
terial sense of authority that enabled
him to cast out the devils of unbe-
lief, hatred, and fear. The good he
understood and embodied const-
tuted his spiritual strength. -.
An important step if one would
demonstrate strength is to realize
that life, truth, and intelligence are
not in matter. Man is the image and
likeness Of his Maker; he is spiritual,
not material, and strength is quail
ity of Spirit, not condition of mat
ter.
Weakness, WEAKNESS, fatigue, and
sin are harassing pictures, drawn by
mortal mind, but these are not a nee
eSSary part of human experience.
They persist in their claim to power,
and would deceive and enslave hui
manity. Only the mighty power of
Truth can end their tyranny. Spirit

fettered by enslaving beliefs - up
right, pure, and free. The daily task
is done with energy and freedom
when we claim spiritual strength as
our divine right. Fatigue is no more
necessary in human experience than
is sin; and both sin and fatigue are
overcome by the humble acknow1-
edgment and confident claiming Of
the real mans inherent purity,
strength, and freedom.

strength. The Bible is filed with ex-
ampIes, exhortations. and promises
that furnish daily sustenance. =.
We need better understanding of
man. The weak, weary mortal whom
we see bowed down with response
bility, fear, foreboding, and discour-
agement is not the real man. =.
Man is spiritual, and for that rea-
son he cannot be tired or weak. The
image of Love is never tired, never
under a strain, never overworked.
Worry, fear, and false sense of
responsibility do not belong to man.
Man is not separate from God. ;.
Like Jesus, we need to be deter.
mined to do Gods will under every
circumstance, in order that we may
derive from God the ever-present
quality of spiritual strength. We can
be faithful in our consecrated effort
to reflect God in every thought and
deed. We should resolve calmly to
use the energies Of Truth in all our
activities. When we strive to follow
