grown to such proportions as to
make lower Delaware the leading
broiler producing area of the coun-
! try.
He expressed the belief that the
industry will not be overdone if
precautions are taken; but if the
time comes when there seems to be
stalemate the small growers will
be forced out of business and only
those with capital and operate on a
large volume basis with small profits
will be able to survive. In the wes-
tern areas, he point sout, flock dis
eases are minor considerations be-
cause the broilers are raised in bat
terry brooders and never touch the
ground. Battery brooders. he be-
lieves, are impractical on the PEN
insula where chicks are kept from
twelve to fourteen weeks, and from
his survey he has come in contact
with but two in this area. Since
there are markets in the eastern
cities for broilers ranging from 21k
to Sh pounds, there is but little
from the western areas
except in the spring when markets
on the Atlantic Seaboard are glut-
ted. The eight-week bird and two
pound average of the concentrated
battery brooders of the mid-western
states in his opinion probably never
will compete with Peninsula flocks
n the large, eastern markets.
1t is reported that he has been
at the capacity of some farms
where he is said to have inspected
louses holding as many as fifty
thousand.

They Tell A Story
Martha Lupton, EdItpr

Maxwell Droke, indianapolis. SS
While this is not strictly religious
book, 1t is favorably reviewed in this
column. Why? 1t is one of the best
collections of illustrations for use
in the message of religion. OF the
one thousand illustrations in the
book. very few are inappropriate
for the pulpit. Public speakers and
teachers will find treasury of hui
man interest for audience and class.
Some Of the illustrations are old, but
timeless In application. More of the
illustrations are new and grip at
tention. The book shows painstaking
research and prudent compilation.
The indices save time, and enable
one to turn quickly to the desired

RELIGION IN BOOKS
These Shared His Cross
Nv Edwln McNeul pos..I
"a R0f la 1ANks


Harper and Brothers, New York
$1.75. Those who read the authors
other volume These Shared His
Passion" will know what to expect
from this volume. These studies In
the last day of the life of Jesus arc
from the mind of a liberal scholar
and leader in the church. Each
chapter has two parts, one of in
teresting narration and one of brisk
discussion. The characters pre-
sented are both historic and legen-
Diary. The reading is serious, excit-
ing, disturbing, different, hopeful.
DR.. POteat is a pioneer writer in
religious literature. He blazes new
trails of approach to his subject
matter. He writes bodily as one who
does not hesitate to express himself
freely nor to disagree with what is
commonly accepted. He seeks TO
apply "the Cross principle" to mod
ern life. There Is plenty of hard
thought and good religion in his eff
fort. There seems to be also an at
tempt to satisfy modernism. This re-
viewer cannot 60 all the way with
the authors definitions and expla-
nations of the Gospel. But all his
books are worth reading, and this
latest book adds greatly to the list.
1t will not be read for pleasure, but
Tor profit. II will assist in the prep
iration of Lenten messages.

Revell, New York. So. A book ol
usable illustrations and quotations
for pulpit and platform and forum
The material is not stale For the
most part il comes out of a minis
ter's own experience i'm various sec
tions of the United States and Can
ada. Many of the paragraphs are
passages from the authors pulpit
ministry. There are timely truths
from history aud literature and to-
days headlines. Good 'humor, sane
optimism, working faith are to-
gether in these comments on life.
Il am glad that I live in a world
that is still in the making, and not
in world that is finished and per-
feet product. Life is worth while,
because in very humble way may
have a part in contributing toward
that far-off divine event to which
the whole creation moves" But DR..
has also the evengelist'sl
attitude and passion. "Sin is a ter
rible fact of life. a frightful,
heartbreaking, conscience-destroy-
ing fact of life" The book is large, |

light for our navy to go to war.
Because of that Interpretation,
certain congressman would have
preferred a vote on an actual de-
claration of war on Germany, but
it is now thought unlikely that
such a vote will be taken this
winter.
Our navy is now in a position
to do whatever part is necessary
in getting munitions to the anti
Axis powers and for the time be-
ing there is no further role which
it is considered necessary for us
to play. Probably not until there
is a demand for an American ex-
peditionary force will any further
vote on war be presented to con-
gress..
