Johns Grasshopper Pods

The kind Of locusts eaten by John
the Baptist while dressed in camel's
hair at the River Jordan were not
grasshoppers or even the gentle
nomadic species, but were simply
pods of the carob tree. One odd
thing about them is that the bios

CEREALS ARE NOT FATTEN1NG

When American women first rea-

feared its effects on the feminine
figure.
A bit OF sound thinking will dis
pei such ''fat fear" You wouldn't
hesitate to eat a big raw apple even
on the strictest reducing diet, for 1t
contains only about 100 calories.
Neither need you hesitate to eat a
three-quarter cup serving Of cooked
whole grain oatmeal, for that con-
talns approximately 100 calories, too.

Manure Good Fertilizer

Manure has no substitutes as a
general garden fertilizer. It not only
furnishes plant nutrients but also
supplies organic matter to help
keep the soil in good physical con-
dition. On soils of average fertility,
well rctted manure should be broad
cast at the rate of about 10 two
horse wagon loads per acre. When
applied at this rate, one load will
cover a space approximately SO by
100 feet.

Tragic stories of death from

plight of Europe's millions. Eur
ope has no organized distribution
system. What few necessities ex-
list are transported at the conven-
fence of military authorities.
Poins of final distribution to con-
sumers are places rife with disease
and dirt. What a contrast to the

Citizen Soldiers
Rights Denied

There are the soundest reasons
why the members of profession
al army should be denied the
right to engage in political cam
paigns or seek election to public
office, either in peace or wal
time. But it is quite a different
matter to apply the same rule to
a great national army made up of
citizens drafted from private life
to serve during an emergency.
In the first case the individual
has the option of remaining a civ
ilian and retaining all the prerog-
atives of citizenship, or of giving
up a part of those rights and
privileges to follow military
career.
In the second case he has no
freedom of choice. He takes up
arms. not as a profession, but as
a citizen called by his government
to the defense of his country. 1t
then appears an arbitrary exercise
of authority to put gun in his
hands and strip him of constitu-
tional right he will be required to
defend in battle.
1t would appear just as reason
able, or no more unreasonable, if
men and women enrolled in war
industries, in Civilian Defense or
otherwise direct participants in
the nations war effort, were de-
MED the right to seek election to
public office or take active part
in political campaigns.
This war department order
issued February % and just now
made public, if permitted t6
stand, will restrict the politica
rights of more than 100000 A
mericans who will be in the arm
ed forces before the next genera
, election in 1914. How profound
ly that could affect the OUTCOME

CHINESE
VENGENCE
BY RUTH TAYLOR

We have all read of the grea
speech made by Nine. Chang IA
Shek in Madison Square Garder
in New York. Thousands of PEG
pie gathered there to pay homage
to her and through her to the
Chinese people, whose brave ano
steady fight against what seemed
like hopeless odds, has stirred ouI
imaginations and quickened our
spirit in our own dark hours.
When Nine. Chang Kai-Shek
rose to speak, her words fell like
an echo down the centuries. she
preached not hatred but love. She
talked not of cruelty but of JUS
tice.. She condemned the sin and
not the sinner. She taught good
and not evil.
"All nations, great and small,
must have equal opportunity of
development. Those who are
stronger and more advanced
should consider their strength as
a trust to be used to help the
weaker nations to fit themselves
for full self-government and not
to exploit them. Exploitation Is
spiritually degrading 10 the ex-
ploiter as to the EXPEDITED"
The crowd was startled. Was
this the way of the Oriental: Was
this Cinese vengeance It had
reminiscent ring Love your
enemses, bless them that curse
you, do good to them that hate
you and pray for them which des-
pitefully use you or prosecute
you"
Then too, there must be no |
bitterness in the reconstructed !
world. No matter what we have
undergone and suffered, we must
try to forgive those who injured |
us and remember only the lesson
gained thereby"
If we hate our enemies we are
no better than they are We must i
fight the evil always - but we
must not hate the evil-doer nor
because of him - all men of his
class, creed or color.
If this be Chinese vengeance,
its lesson is the greatest gift come
ont of China, Printing and gun
powder were explosives - but
this is revolutionary - as revo-
as Christianity tself, as
revolutionary as the Law of Love
triumphing over the law Of haze
Victory which is the WI ole
of The Lenten Season wei
now celebrate.

Everybody wants freedom.

But, as Eric Johnson recently

popular as freedom is popular -
and therein lies the danger to

strategy to talk about freedom
and damn capital in the same
breath. Under such inconsistent

'YOUTHA And
FREEDOM

Students of psychology are re-
lieved in one way at the mental
freedom of the youth of today,
because they show that they have
been extrieate1 from the inhibl-
tions and repressions that made
life miserable for their parents;
however. these thinkers believe
that our youth are having a hard
time breaking the cocoon of re-
serve that. has been built around
each one of them Tor generations,
by over-stepping or misusing the
word freedom for license.
Self-expression is one of tne
bounties given TO man, and be
should use this gift for the good
of his fellowmen. that is, as all
phenomena In this world has its
rise and fall. everything should
have It's chance or equal oppor-
tunity to reach its apex without
too much opposition before it be-
gins its Pereeptible decline to-
wards deterioration.
Most of QUE young people, how
ever, or people who are not ma
ture mentally cannot different.ate
between freedom and license
Freedom means liberty the
ability to move freely without
encumbrance, but license means
excess liberty too much free
dom. Repression. then according
to this premise is just as bad as
license, because each extreme has
the same evil effect, or both have
evil effects.
Civilization demands certain
suppressions, a tightening or re-
hand, as it were, as
as community life links us
closer together. To be tanned,
or civilized, then |
means adapting ourselves to liy-
ing with others in such a way
that each one is able to contrib
ute something towards the uplift
Of all the others.
When an individual refuses to
check his untamed or savage
characteristics he becomes an out
law, a menace to society, and has
to be segregated from the group
until he learns to cage his wild
mind and keep 1t in subsection
Sometimes he is unable 20 do this
because of physical or mental
handicap and should be treated as
one with a physical disease.
However, our young people
have no such hindrance to their
development. They are buoyant,
vigorous youths, but nevertheless
show a self-asurance and inner
that displays lack
Of poise and dignity, the requis-
ties of a well ordered mind. When
they learn to control these in
stincts which mean a certain sup
preston. they will know what
freedom really is. and not only
make greater strides in individual
but will be able to
help the whole human race to a
higher standard of thought and
action.
