SAGE Refugees in
Improuised Plane
Yanks Patch Fortress and
Fly Group to Australia.

MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA. =
The two American airmen had new
er taken up a Flying Fortress be-
fore. But they patched this one up
from the parts of three damaged
ones-then had to do the job over
because the Japanese sent bullets
through the carburetor and mag
neto.
But finally they cleared the dead
Japanese off the runway, and with
child refugees slowed in the bomb
bay and without instruments or
maps flew their bullet-pierced
bomber from Banding in Java to
Australia.
They are here now.
Capt. Gerald Cherymisin of Alta
Iona, Calf, and Sgt. Harry Hayes,
San Antonio, Texas, modestly dis
missed the whole exploit with the
explanation: :,
s'Neither of us could have done il
without the other"
The two Americans who flew the
patched-up plane, last Allied air
craft to escape from Banding be.
fore the Japanese captured that
former Allied headquarters, also
saved three Netherland air force Of
fcials and eight women and children
of Netherlands officials.
Veterans of 16 years in the United
States air force, the two Americans,
working with Malayan mechanics
for Az days in the Banding rail-
way shops, finished their work the
afternoon of March and were just
preparing to take off when-Japa'
nese planes swooped low and landed
rs parachutists.
simultaneously small japanese
force that had approached undetect'
ed began to attack.
The Netherland and Javanese de-
tenders of the airport went into
action and soon wiped out the para
chutists and their comrades.

The lesson is a pointed one. The
law of Love, Gods law of supply.
operates with justice towards all.
Security and freedom from fear OF
lack may come to each one through
consecrated daily prayer and obe-
dience.
Christ Jesus utilized Gods law of
provision to meet human needs. His
faithful follower, Mary Baker Eddy,
the Discoverer and Founder of
Christian Science, understood that
Gods law blesses mankind. AS an
earnest student of the Bible she
came to understand God as unchang-
ing Love. In Miscellaneous Writ
ings" (p. 3O7) she gives this particu-
larly helpful assurance: "God gives
you His spiritual ideas, and in turn,
they give you daily supplies. Never
ask for tomorrow: it is enough that
divine Love is an ever-present help;
and if you wait, never doubling, you
will have all you need every moment.
What a glorious inheritance is given
to us through the understanding OF
omnipresent Lowell More we cannot
ask: more we do not want: more we
cannot have"
False rumors should not be al
lowed to influence one to become
fearful. Governed by humility, faith.
spiritual understanding, and obedi-
ence, each one will prove the ever
operative power of divine law to
provide for individual needs, and for
the larger needs of the nations.
Praying, with faith in God as the
infinite source of supply, will help
to break the mesmerism of fear and
Limitation for all mankind. Mrs.
Eddy writes in her textbook,
Science and, Health with Key to the
Scriptures" Up. 1877: glove is impair
tial and universal in its adaptation
and bestowals. 1t is the open fount
which cries, 'Ho, every one that
thirsteth, come We to the waters 1"
As more and more individuals real
ize this spiritual fact, divine Loves
omnipresence will be felt and
proved. Nothing can limit the power
of Love or shut out its continual
manifestation. Magnifying in our
own hearts the love Of God will
bring to light better understand
ing of Him, and with ii sufficiency
OF all things needful at the right
time, and In the right way. - The

WESTINGHOUSE costs the
army 2.453 cents a pound to pro-
duce, the war department reported.
A survey covering months OPP
erations of II army quartermaster
bakeries disclosed the average cost.
The bakeries used more than $50
tons of flour and produced 2,508, 426
pounds Of bread at total cost OF
$50, 464. The bread was made with
enriched flour containing vitamins
81 and BE- and other energy-giving
materials.
The army bakes two kinds OF
bread. Garrison bread has a thin
crust like that bought in civilian
stores, and field bread has a thick
crust which keeps it fresh for two
or three weeks.

FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER rs, 1912
THE RUBBER ISSUE

Perhaps few subjects since the
war started have aroused greater
public interest or had more solu-
lions offered than the one having to
do with rubber. One story said that
gasoline was rationed in the East
because the submarines were sink
ing our tankers, while another con-
tention was that even if there were
no actual shortage of gasoline, or
inadequate transportation facilities
for hauling it from the oil fields and
refineries to the Atlantic seaboard,
gas rationing would be necessary in
order to check the use of privately
owned autos so as to conserve tires
and rubber.
For several weeks a vigorous de-
bate was carried on in the United
States Senate with view to using
grain from which alcohol could be
made to supply butadiene, used in
making synthetic rubber. Senators
from the farm states said that they
were not fighting the petroleum
interests, but that they wanted
farm products used for Industrial
as we'll as food purposes, that the
country needs rubber and that all
methods, whether petroleum, alco-
hol or natural rubber, should be
used to obtain this vitality needed
product in the shortest time pos
sible. The oil company heads re-
piled in similar vein. Nevertheless,
charges were made, by the alcohol
and farm interests, that the oil
group had their representatives, or
individuals friendly to them, in all
key positions in the Government so
that the alcohol and the farm in
terests could not get chance to
build pilot test plants even at their
own expense.
Later, the big rubber companies
laid a program before the Govern
ment that would allow for $4,000
900 tires, new and recapped, which.
it was thought, would supply civil
ian needs until July, 1914, in keep
ing cars rolling at so per cent of
their normal mileage rate.
Senate Bill $500 was designed to
aid the war effort by obtaining
rubber manufactured from alcohol
produced from agricultural or forest
products" President Roosevelt We
toed this bill about which there had
been considerable confusion in the
public mind because SO many con-
trary statements had been made.
Pointing to the complicated and
technical nature of the synthetic
rubber problem, the President APP
pointed three outstanding Americans
to obtain the facts and report their
recommendations to him as soon as
possible He named the Hon. Bern
ard M. Baruch, chairman, who head
ed the War Industries Board in
World War 1; DR.. James B. Conant,
president of Harvard University, and
DR.. Karl T. Compton, president of
Massachusetts Institute of Technol-
Ogy. These three are men of the very
highest standing and the unstinted
approval given their appointment
leaves no doubt that they ought to
be able to satisfy the public on this
difficult question.

British Taxes on Estate
Cut Deep Into Legacies

LONDON. - Taxation in Britain
has reached such high level that
the f2,000,000 estate of Sir Philip
Sasson was not enough to provide
an annuity of ELL 900 free of all tax,
which he left after other requests
to cousin, Mrs. Hannah Gubbay.
At current tax rates a gross an
nual income of f312, ESQ would be
necessary to provide such an an
nuity, and the capital amount re-
quired to provide such an income
would be ETC, 425,000. 1t was held
in the law courts that Mrs. Gubbay
was entitled to have annuity based
on the available funds.

One reason why
the churches have been slow to
re-marshal their forces against
LIQUOR was indicated recently by the
Bishops of The Methodist Church,
who said:
when prohibition was repealed,
the American people were promised
that the saloon would not be allowed
to return. That it has returned can
not truthfully be denied
''The Christian people have been
patient Because of the prom
ises which had been made and be-
cause of the prominent men and
women who had assumed respon-
sibility, they stood aside for q
time :"
Declaring themselves "particu-
larly alarmed at the mounting
drunkenness which is evident on ev-
cry hand'' and saying that "The ma
ton is bartering the souls and bod
les of its youth for revenue which Is
demoralizing in its results and utter
ly uneconomic," the Bishops added:
%. increasing quantities of beer
sold to our young men in the train
ing camps or given to them free OF
charge is certain to debauch our
youth and to ieopardize the moral
standards of future generations.
"Ve call upon the President of the
United States and all others in au-
thority to take such action as will
correct these evils in the camps"
You couldn't call the Methodist
Bishops professional drys," the
W.C.T.U. points out, but the signs
indicate they are becoming militant
and aroused opponents of liquor. AS
liquor and vice both know, the
churches move slowly, but when
aroused they aren't easily stopped.

Trailers Helping Uncle Sam

More and more trailer camps Of
nav type are springing up daily
near defense industrial plants.
Camps, not of vacationing families
but camps filed with families whose
men are keeping Uncle Sans pro-
duction wheels going and whose
women are busy making homes even
though they be in miniature. They
are discovering that their homes,
though small, can be very attrac-
tive.
The up-to-date trailer contains ev-
erything the modern housekeeper
desires or requires. Every square
foot is utilized to the best advantage
and put to some practical use.

 Mines May Be Favored

Washington Aug.-San- ator Walter F. George lD- Ga.), chairman of the Sen ate Finance Committee said today it might be able to exempt from excess pro fits taxes those companies that are mining such strat- egic materials as tin and chrome for the war effort.
 T h e Georgia Senator made his statement after Senator Pat McCarran (D- NeV.) had testified before the committee. McCarran suggested the tax group permit establishment of non taxable funds by pri- Vate mining interests so that they can develop ur- gently needed new ore bodies.
 McCarran added that the qaulity of ore now be- ing mined has dropped off and that new fields are not being opened up, largely because of the stiff federal taxes which mining operat ors must carry.
