Buchman's Sect
Runs AfOul
Of Draft
By TALBOT LAKE

THERE was hurry In the Qralt
i boards recently when members
of the oxford Movement - hale.
healthy and in their twentieS-
asked not to be classified as IA be-
cause they were going round to the
war plants and cheering on the
workers. Now. one by one they are
being reclaSsified as la.
Leader of the oxford Movement,
now called Moral Rearmament. Is
the ailing DR.. Frank N. D. Buch-
man. His movement is a sort Of
streamlined evangelism. appealing
mainly to the rich. Meetings are
held at large estates. The souls to
be saved are given lovely time all
day long for days. and then the
Buchmanites get to work on them.
Confession in front of the group is
the high spot of the process. and
telling about your sex life plays an
important and lurid part in the
process -------------
It was not ever thus with Buch-
man. who started out on his career
humbly enough. Born in PennS-
burg. Pa. in 1878. he comes from
family that settled in that state in
1740. The ancestry is Swiss. There
have been pioneers in his family
and one fought in the Revolution.
His family moved to Allentown.
and Buchanan. interested In social
problems, settled in Philadelphia.
There he took garnet in a stable.
and did a personal charity lifting
up drunkardS and taking care OF
needy families.
Later he founded hospital for
orphans and destitute boys and
was warden Of 1t for four years. All
the time his evangelical ideas were
cooking and when the war broke
out he did work with the prisoners
in the Allied concentration camps
of that time. He then Travelled
widely and went back to England
to start his movement at Oxford.
from which 1t got its name. His
soul-saving then switched to the
well-to-do.
The movement got good deal Of
criticism. some of it that Buchanan
was fascist in his tendencies. His
emphasis on the sex life confess
sions of his converts Is strongly
condemned by some. Buchanan Is
bland. bald. bespectacled, well-fed
man. with almost hypnotic powers
of persuasiveness of his subjects. A
bachelor. he said God never had
called" him to marry.
He said this about Buchmanism:
cit is a new social order under the
dictatorship of God. making for
better relationships, for unselflsh
cooperation. for cleaner business.
cleaner politics and for the elimi-
nation of potential industrial and
racial antagonisms."

correct the miSdeed as to look for
causes.
When Betty came into the house
screaming for her snow shovel re-
Gently. her clever mother recog-
nized that she was resorting to the
practice of her little playmate next
door. Instead Of scolding the child
she decided to identify the unde-
sirable trait for her. She thought
that If she could show her little
girl that she had picked the idea
up unwittingly, 1t would make a
deeper impression for the better,
than II she were to criticize or scold
her for being naughty. Stopping
what she was doing. she calmly
said. That's not my little girl:
that's Eunice. When my little girl
wants anything. she asks for it
nicely" The amazed youngster i'm
mediately lowered her voice In re-
peating the request.
In children. as in adults. the in
cident which may be responsible
for ill-humor is often forgotten.
although the mood continues. II we
can recall the incident now. We are
more likely to see 1t in its true per-
spective, enabling us to return
quickly to q more pleasant frame
of mind. II a child comes in from
school or play out Of sorts. the pa
rent should help him find the rea-
son for his mood. Instead Of teas
ing or scolding him for being a
Crouch" she will ask questions
concerning the days activities In
an effort to help him trace his
present feelings to the source. Thus
an unhappy mood may be cut short
and possible friction because of it
averted.

they are not pleasant ones, with q
cheerful manner. You must be pre-
pared to meet inconvenience, sac
rif1ces and longer hours with q
smile or you will not measure UP
so we'll in a charm test.
You can't be charming II you
make martyr Of yourself because
you must take it." Think Of the
real sacrifices and privations that
women in other countries are fac
ing.
Temper Hardens the Face
Watch out for your temper.
Everyone who is not weak and
spineless has one. but the woman
who is charming knows how to
control it. She knows how much
real energy a burst Of temper takes
out of her. and how destructive it
is to good looks. Nothing so quickly
draws the mouth into tight hard
lines. FUCKERS the forehead. makes
lines about the eyes.
Don't nag. You may not be able
to do all the things that are con-
Sidered charming. but at least you
can keep nagging from being one
of your faults. Keep your sense OF
direction. Know what you want, be
clear and concise in your directions
if you are working with others.
Nagging suggests indeciSion and
weakness on your part. Realize
that everyone is under a strain
these days, that you cannot expect
services or even manners to be per-
feet as you would wish.
Consider the problems and feel
ingS of others. and you will not
have time to become over-con-
cerned with your own. BY simple
courtesy you are becoming wiser.
friendlier. more tolerant and SYM
pathetic person.
Learning to laugh helps you to
be charming. You may not have
been born with sense of humor,
but you can develop it or good
substitute for 1t. Begin by trying to
rid yourself Of old prejudices.
Learn to laugh at yourself. at your
own mistakes and shortcomings
and you will not take those Of 9TH
ers SO seriously.
Be healthy. Enthusiasm and the
inner brightness that comes from
proper diet and adequate rest are
captivating. If you work under
great tension. learn the shortcuts
to a quick comeback-thev value OF
restful tub-before, you greet fam
lily or friends at dinner, the knack
of relaxation through brief pauses
during the day. II your health is
good you can do that. If it isn't the
least little thing is apt to leave you
grumpy and nervous.
Hobby Is Relaxing
Develop your mind as you do
your body. Just as your body needs
a new supply of building materials
daily. your mind needs new ideas
to work on.
Take time now to develop any
hobby or latent abilities you have.
Do not put it off until after the
war" If photography has always
fascinated you, make a study OF 1t
and begin in small way. even
though materials are hard to get.
Your first aid class. your young
sters. your sweetheart or hubby
home on leave will furnish plenty
of subject matter. Paint or write
poetry. It doesn't matter what you
do as long as you get fun and ex-
element out of the effort. A hobby
helps relax you. helps to make you
charming!

up and saw her sleeping there :.
and I guess I shot her then.
Anyway. nothing can separate
us now. Soon in another two
weeks nobody will ever be able
to separate us again."
No wonder the police and all
connected with this strange case
were baffled. No wonder they were
unable to follow the murderer's
reasoning or to concede that man
capable Of such q crime would have
such serene faith in a hereafter.
Murder In Sincerity
This man evidently was sincere
IN his admission Of faith In the ac-
copied Christian doctrine of life
after death-a conscious life where
one Is reunited with those one
loved. It was because of his com.
plete acceptance of this faith that
he acted. undoubtedly on impulse.
as he did. To him 1t was perfectly
reasonable that life. not death.
could separate them. for 1t was to
prevent this that he killed what he
loved.
This is not the first case where
murderers have insisted that they
killed for love. but recall no other
when the reason given was that
death would reunite them and
make separation impossible. That's
faith. which has nothing whatever
to do with reason. Otherwise. would
1t be faith?
One might wonder why the muir
derer did not follow through by
destroying himself in order to has
ten the desired reunion. Circum-
stances interviewed. Yet during the
time when this man was awaiting
execution he chung to his faith In a
hereafter and in his belief that he
would be reunited with the woman
he killed. Again that is an acid test
Of faith. which presents convincing
evidence that the man was sincere
which. however, certainly does
not Justify anyone in committing
murder.
Don't Practice It!
Murder Is always q most un-
pleasant and definitely selfish busi-
ness, in which the point Of view or
desire of the victim Is entirely lost
sight Of. Strangely enough. such q
CHASTITY affair in life Is such an abb
sorbing theme in fiction. The mild
est and gentlest Of creatures revel
In crime stories and are the most
avid readers Of fiction Of the Who
dunit school.
Even in the most lurid fictional
crime stories. such motive as the
one attributed In the case In point
would not be accepted without
some feeling that 1t was far
fetched ~ which seems to prove
once more that life Is stranger than
fiction. After all, the reason or mo-
tive for q crime. or any serious
action eithcr in fiction or In life. Is
far more Interesting than the act
It calls forth.
Until we can understand what
make humans act as they DO. what
the impelling motive behind their
strange and unpredictable be-
havior really Is. we cannot. certain
ly should not. set ourselves UP as
Judge or juror.

Pastel Woolens
Hint Of Spring
BY ELEANOR GUM

NEW YORK-From our most re-
~ liable sources we hear that pas
tells are of to an early start because
of the general acceptance Of wool.
Now a pastel wool is just as warm
as a darker color and gives prom
Use of spring. Some of the most ap-
proved colors are gold. lilac, aqua,
light blue and seafoam green. In
town there is a marked preference
for beige and gray. both citif1ed
colors good to wear under q black
coat and with a black or colored
hat.
School-girlish fashions for the
grown-ups are amusing for the
moment. Even II it isn't the best Of
taste to dress too much during war
times. one can, with q clear con-
science. dress to appear as piquant
or debonair as possible. First Of all.
one selects one Of the pastel shades
or navy. then q looking
collar. We are all in the white COL
lar class Just now. Above all, re-
member to keep 1t simple-the en-
tire costume, that is-if you hope
to give that school girl effect.
Young women continue to rave
over the Chesterfield. so II you are
looking for q coat, the style Of
which will carry over well into the
spring, have q look at the velvet
collared Chesterflelds. and for
other flyfront models.
Now then about the date dress.
If you want to be among the first
to hint Of spring. fun 1t up q bit
with crisp white ruffles or lacy
black ones. Neckwear designers are
doing the frothiest sort Of things
to animate the bolero or the classic
tailored suit, so why not start this
flattery right now?

So let's salute the good old po-
tato, that never-failing menu MAIN
stay, and continue to serve 1t at
least once daily in various delicious
ways. Tried and true potato favor

mashed potatoes. enveloped in rich
gravy; mealy baked ones blending

hashed brown ones with breakfast
eggs. Try serving the latter on any
chilly winter morning to help make
one egg seem like tWo-0r to help
the family overlook the absence of
hard-to-get bacon and ham. Incl
dentally, hashed brown potatoes
are equally good with meat or fish
for other meals.
A question frequently asked is
how big is a serving Of potatoes?
Cook books and nutrition charts do
not agree, so why not make a new
wartime rule to eat all the potatoes
you want? INTENTIONALLY speaking,
potatoes will make up for some OF
the shortages in other foods. Good
quality potatoes make an outStand-
ing contribution to the diet in vita
min c and available iron. contain a
small amount of protein Of excep-
tional quality, furnish substantial
amounts of two other vitaminS Obi
