years, according to a forecast re-
leased by the Tile Council of Ameri-
ca.
"As a result of high incomes dur
ing the last few years, farmers in
every part of the nation are prepar-
ed to invest record amounts in new
home construction and in general
farm improvements" said T. B. Ort-
man, chairman of the Councils resi-
Dental construction committee.
Pointing out that the comfort and
conveniences of urban living are
now available to farm families, Ort-
nan said that many new rural homes
will incorporate such features as
water pressure systems, tiled bath
looms and modern kitchen facilities.
Rapid identification or rural areas
of Mississippi is making possible the
incorporation of new homes of many
labor-saving and comfort-providing
devices undreamed of a generation
ago, according to Ortman. Rural
Identification Administration esti-
mates disclose that more than 20
per cent of all farms in the state now
receive central station electric SER
vice. Refrigerators, electric washing
machines and deep freezing plants,
as well as plumbing systems, will
go into many new homes as a con-
sequence.

MOT only does Christ reveal him

they are one. Reading now into the
second chapter of Hebrews, we find
these words: "God also bearing
them (angels) witness, both with
signs and wonders, and with divers
miracles, and gifts of the Holy
Ghost, according to his own will"
1t Is Gods own will that he be
revealed, and he must do the re-
vealing. Turn to John 14:5-11,
where we read again that reveal

treasured Thomas and Philip, de-

A New Covenant

THE better revelation means "a

cause Jesus Christ has now become
''the mediator of a better covenant,
which was established upon better
promises" Hebrews 8:6.
The first covenant was imperfect,
because it was manifest through hui

perfect God could manifest the bet

better covenant. See jeremiah 81:

TN THIS better revelation Of Jesus
1 Christ, we find that love Is the
key that opens the door into the
brightly lighted room. "The father
loved the son, and hath given all
things into his hand" John 1885.
Love is the key. It is ever so
with all the revelations which God
makes of himself to his trusting chill
dren.
And this revelation of God in
Jesus Christ carries the further
truth that 'all things have been
placed in the hands of our blessed
Saviour. We read elsewhere that
"aIl things consist in him." which
means that all things hold togeth-
err in him-the world itself. Jesus
said, "AIi power hath been given

We, The Women
BY RUTH MILLETT

Experts are working overtime
today trying to sell women on
the idea that they are lost souls
because smaller families and la
~bor-saving devices have given
them too much leisure time for
their own good.
But before they fall too hard for
the "you poor frustrated little
thing line, wome1 might well asl
themselves: whats so terrible
about having some leisure hours,
even a period of leisure years?
Actually, is there any reason
why a woman should become e
n%eurotic pain-in-the-neck to he.
husband and children just be
cause she doesn't spend Is hours
a day at household chores?
She has the whole out-ofdoors
TO enjoy. She doesn't have to sci
cut her interest in sports for
seat at a bridge table or mem
bership in half a dozen women's
clubs.
She can always get a job or q
worthwhile hobby.
Why then should modern wom-
en- be made to feel sorry for them
selves simply because life has
given them the gift of leisure?
Why aren't today's women being
told how lucky they are, instead
of how unfortunate?
Why are the so-called experts"
trying to convince women that
day by day in every way they are
becoming more and more miser'
able?

Attorney Takes Care OF
Worthless Checks Given
In Washington

NEW YORK, July is. -U.G-
Lady Iris Mountbatten, glamorous
a7-year-old cousin Of Great Brit
aims king, sent her attorney to
Washington today to pay off $l85.O5
in bad checks which have caused
her embarrassment since her ar
rest here last night.
The extent of her embarrass-
ment about what she described as
a mistaken idea that checks writ
ten against insufficient funds were
taken care of in the banks was
indicated by her unavailability to-
day.
The film company office where
she started work learning" pub

show up at her desk this morning.
A man who answered the tele.
phone at the apartment where she
was arrested last night said she
was at the British embassy In
Washington.
When told that reporters hac
been unable to locate her there, ne
replied:
I'm very glad to hear that"
Thomas c. Carney, attorney for
the photogenic blonde whose pic
ture appears in various advertise
ments, said in Washington that he
believed his client remained in
New York.
Carney at 2 p. m. paid $4,000 fol
three worthless checks which the
relative of King George vi gave tc
an exclusive Washington shop for
feminine finery. The payment in

IT hope this payment will have
a bearing on Lady Iris case wher
she appears in New York court
next Tuesday," Carney said.
The attorney for the dress shop
owner said, however, that the case
was ''in the hands of authorities
and not under his control.
But Mrs. Wilhelmina Adams, the
owner, said she no longer had any
desire to prosecute.
Lady Mountbatten said at a po-
lice station last night that in Brit
ain it was customary for banks to
take care of checks against an
overdrawn account. British banks
customarily advise customers when
overdrafts reach a certain amount.
