One of the great tragedies of our
age is parental delinquency Sad
to say, millions of lost souls will
stand before God on Judgment Day
and, hearing their condemnation,
will scream Historically: Il accuse
my parents.
How many parents give their
children everything but God. They
provide them with nourishing food
warm clothing and liberal educa-
tions but no knowledge of Jesus
Christ, their Savior. They have
time to read them Dick Tracy and
Superman, but no time to tell them
stories of the Bible. They take them
to the movies, but not to Sunday
School and church. They curse be-
fore their children, but never pray.
And for this reason many children
will live to curse their parents for
raising them without Christ.
God Almighty will hold parents
accountable, if they through bad
example or neglect send their
children to hell. A prominent judge
in Detroit, addressing Young
Peoples Rally, said: Eighty per-
cent of the youngsters arraigned
in my court come from homes in
which there has been no religious
training"
To be responsible for the demon
aliZation of a youngster IS a crime |
of colossal proportions. If a child |
goes to hell, it is usually to great |
extent the fault of its parents, be-
cause God wants parents to bring
up their children in the nurture
and admonition of the Lord" He
assures the parents
who are diligent. in this responsible
ity: Train up a child in the way
he should go, and when he is old,
he will not depart from it."
The Church ever stands ready to II
assist parents in discharging this
responsibility of theirs.
But the best efforts of the Church
are negligible unless it has the par
snts cooperation.-ST. JOHN LUTH- y
GRAN CHURCH. adv

Hiqher oxes Should
Surprise No One
By CharIes D. ROwe

The newspapers have recently
been busy reporting the doings of
the IS per centers." AS you know,
they are the men who claim to have
influence with the heads of depart
ments and high government officials.
Using that influence they say they
can often swing large advantageous
contracts to their clients" Their
fee in such instances is the little old
S per cent commission.
Some of those goings-on may be
legitimate. Some of it doesn't
smell so pure and sweet. On the
other hand, it is one of the results
of a government that is huge and
growing larger every day. The u.
S. News calls attention to this phase
of big government. The spending Of
as billion dollars annually is big
business, the largest in the nation
That means that to those who can
make the right contacts there will
be profitable contracts, sometimes
running into the millions. This
condition provides a fertile field for
the men who know their way
around Washington, SO it is said.
Thus it is that the influence bust
ness is growing, not declining It

values in any noticeable degree. And
government naturally costs more
to-day. This is inevitable under
present policies.
The help-everybody idea is hand
ing out more and more money. The
funds therefor can be secured only
through taxation. The taxes are
handed on to the public in the price
of goods-in higher prices for food,
clothing, furniture, entertainment,
luxuries, and in everything that en-
ters into the cost of our daily liv-
ing. The laboring man then asks
for higher wages to meet higher
living costs. He must have them
This again is reflected in higher
prices, and round and round the
merry wheel goes.
On every hand the people com
plain about the high cost of living,
on how high their taxes are be-
coming. That's sheer nonsense. Be
cause the kind of government the
people have been asking for and
voting for during the past Is years
could end only in one way. That
is in higher living costs-just what
we are getting today. You have
asked for it. Why complain about
it now? Better take it and like it

It is possible that Libby and
other Lincoln county taxpayers are
going to be somewhat shocked when
they get their next tax statements.
Because taxes are going to be con-
siderably higher. This should be
no surprise. A growing community
requires more money to perform the
needed services-providing schools,
streets, roads, etc. Often these have
to be provided before developments

the poor, the sick, the underpriv-

More and more the tendency is to

With government SO huge and
spending so many billions, with all
the multitudinous bureaus and COM

TREATING LEAVES.

(From Miss M. A. T., WASHINGTON
In response to Mrs. r. w. LIS
inquiry as to gliding leaves, I send
along the following notes which
were made from reading an article
in florists trade periodical:
Oak, magnolia, photinia or nam
dina leaves in decorations can be
preserved. To tougher and make
easy to handle. soak leaves or
S days in concentrated solution of
calcium chloride. After they are
dried, coat them with lacquer or
enamel or dye them. They retain
glossy surface.
An effective commercial treat
ment is methorel, a fibrous, dry
material soluble in water, which,
in per cent solution, coats leaves,
flowers and fruits with thin, clear
covering. 1t is odorless, tasteless
and nontoxic and no fire hazard.
Materials treated remain turgid 10
to Is days longer than untreated
materials. Two teaspoons of gly-
cerin added serves to heighten
the effect. The Is per cent viscosity
grade has been found satisfactory
Thinner leaves species like grasses
and ferns soaked in an 1S per cent
solution of glycerin will hold up
long. They can be dyed any suit
able color in the solution afterward.

SPEEDWRIT1NG.
From Mrs. E. F., Washington
For Mrs. r. O.: SpeedWriting is
type of shorthand which uses only
letters of our own alphabet. Thus
the notes never grow cold. notes
may be Transcribed by some one
other than the person who wrote
them, and the notes may also be
taken by typist, on the typewriter,
rather than with pencil.
Stenotypy may be self-taught if
one possesses a large quantity of
will power. A correspondence course
in this machine shorthand is Of
fered by school in Chicago. How
ever, the cost may be substantially
the same as class instruction offered
here in Washington.
Used machines and or courses
may be bought from agencies spe-
cializing in secondhand corre-
spondence courses.

BAD WEATHER HINT.

From E. M. B., Washington)
For bad weather I offer a sug-
gestion which may often be very
helpful. When entertaining at your
home and guests are obliged to wear
rubbers or galoshes it is very con-
venient to use the pinch" type
clothespin for each pair of rubbers
or galoshes. On departure guests
can find their rubbers or galoshes
with no trouble, not having to hunt
around for the mate.
1t is also convenient to carry a
pinch" clothespin in your purse
with your name stamped or printed
thereon for individual use when
necessary.

MATE.

From M. S. H., Washington
For the lady with the South
American tea-mate-by all means
use it. 1t is rich in chlorophyll, and
Argentine gauchos who live on a
diet of mate and meat are extremely
healthy. 1t has flavor all its own
which you learn to like. Some of
my friends import their own. Steep
it like tea with boiling water. 1t
is not alcoholic and contains no
caffeine.

For Mrs. w. NJ, Washington: I

while before took a course in dress
designing at local school. Prob
ably you are qualified now to sew
commercially but you will find that

minute of the time and money
spent. 1t will give you a complete
picture of the reasons and methods
for doing that work, and you viii
be most interested, l am sure, in
knowing how to make patterns
whether or not you care to use the
knowledge or a ready made pat
tern. My criticism of the course
took is that it wasn't concentrated
enough and will be glad to discuss
it in more detail if you wish to con-

BIOCKING NEEDLEPOINT

FFrOm NJ. l.. H., WdShtngton.)
To Mrs. L. H. H. Chevy Chase:
To block needlepoint you will need
a board larger than your piece and
q box of thumbtacks (Or the floor
Of an unused room or cupboard. Be
sure 1t is perfectly clean, and you
can put newspaper on this floor
under the needlepoint if you wishD
Take straightest edge of your
needlepoint, place wrong side up
and fasten securely to board with
the thumbtacks Have a bowl with
warm water and a sponge or cloth,
dampen the whole piece and stretch
taut as you work. 1t will take some
manipulating and stretching to get
it as straight as possible. The can
vas will pull into peaks here and
there but that doesn't matter as
long as you get the worked part
straight.
Set aside to dry. then dampen
again and press thoroughly with an
iron. Set aside again until per-
fectly dry, then remove tacks. 1t
will dry stiff, consequently it is
necessary to have the piece perfect
ly dry before removing, or it may
60 back out of shape.
Always have the piece of furni-
ture you are making the needle
point for, rather than work the
needlepoint with the expectation of
finding a chair or stool that will
fit it.
Pin canvas on seat of chair and
with a coarse pencil mark the size
necessary to work, allowing enough
at corners and enough to turn
under all around. then run a black
thread where you have marked.
I have seen many people start to
work their piece from edge to edge
of canvas, which means time and
yarn wasted, as the upholsterer
usually has to cut it down to size.

and it Is already going fast. In
short. the service will be entirely
soulless.
This disaster can only be rem
edled by far-reaching amendment
of the act. Matters of pay can
be settled by regulation. One sug-
gestion is that the capitation fee
should be much higher for, say,
the first 1900 patients, thus dis
couraging large lists. Another
suggestion is that each patient
shall contribute a small sum for
each item of doctors service in
addition to his weekly contribu-
ton. In this way frivolous mis-
use of the service would be
stopped.
But, urgent though the finan-
cial aspect may be, there are mat
ters of even greater Importance.
The dictatorial powers of the
minister must be limited; private
practice, the only safeguard
against state monopoly, must be
encouraged and the doctor must
once again be given the chance
of serving his patients according
to their needs and his conscience,
and not according to the edicts
of the ministry.

Acclaim Given Foreign Artists
Is Unfair to Talent in U.S..
By Alice Eyersmon

Others. younger or older, need as
sistance and ENCOURAGEMENT to
wipe out the horror of the war
years during which Gieseking and
FurtWsenoler had liberty and
enough to eat.
Quite case could be made also
of the American artists and COM
posers who find such difficulty in
being accepted by their own peo-
pie. Whatever Shostakovich has
done either in the way of COM
position or because of his clashes
with governing bodies, has been
widely publicized. New works by
American composers get a line Or
two in the newspapers but seldom
make the front page. Conductors
have sandwiched their works into
programs occasionally but without
any fanfare There is no one to-
tell the public that here is a great
composer and that all must be-
come acquainted with his works.
Young Talent Awaits Chance.
No doubt the music world is
pleased that such young men as
21-year-old Seymour Lipkin. who
appears as soloist with the Ma
tional Symphony this afternoon,
win awards and are given appear
anceS with major orchestras. Lip
kin won the coveted Rachmanin-
off Award. Gary Graffman, %
and Byron Janis, 20, the latter
scheduled to appear here on
March % with the Philadelphia
Orchestra, are others. They have
their musical lives before them
and could fill most capably the
concert engagements allocated to
Gieseking, They, too. would well
come the income so derived.
At least none of the American
musicians have had to bow to
governmental edictS. Shostako-
vicll has admitted his faults
without standing up for his rights
as creator supposedly possessed
OF vision and knowledge superior
to that of his dictators. If art can
flourish under restrictions, it has
changed greatly since some of the
old masters refused to change a
note in their scores to win popu-
larity or earn a living. Musicians
Of this country may learn how
that is done from ShoStakovich'
visit or he may have his eyes
opened as to what he might ac-
complish had he the liberty to ex-
pand his style after the Western
fashion. AS yet no announce
ments are forthcoming as to
musical activities scheduled for
him during his stay but it is
possible that conductors all over
the country will honor him by
playing one or more of his SYM
phonieS
