Jesus has already Indicated those
who fail those who are brethren
to him by divine, unselfish saeri-
fee, and it is to fail them, to make
them feel outsiders. He looks after
his own, and If you are a true fol
lower of his you will look after
your own.
The nation which allows untam-
ed trespassers to run wild Is en-
eouraging them not to recognize
any boundaries they can step ov-
er. Unless each nation guards
against lust of power on the part
of her leaders, that nation which
so fails her honored dead by max
ing scapegoats of their sons, will
involve all nations in a war. with
its death and terrible affliction.
But whosoever shall become n mis-
cradle outsider within any land, be
cause his relatives and friends for
sake him because he makes q stand
in the Church for this new revela-
ton of the truth as taught by Je-
sus Christ, becomes his brother,
and is blessed of His Father.

or the clot may be carried TO
some vital center such as the brain
causing the death of the patient.
The first surgery of this nature
was performed by New York sur
geon last summer Prior to this,
the only method of treating the
situation was to remove the clot
at the site where it lodged. This
often would have to be repeated as
more clots were forced out into
the blood vessels. Hence, removal
Of the auricular appendage Of the
heart, removes the source Of the
clots and protects the patient
from future clots.

Previously such trucks had to

I cam With Bure-Hunded Catch

shared the fly bare-handed, he

said. is moved back and forth and
sometimes lifted when producer
members of the association find 1t
difficult to supply all the milk
their customers demand.
Roger Whiteford, attorney for
Chestnut Farms Dairy, told Judge
Holtzof he resented the prosecu-
tors reflection on the Health De-
partment, whose standards have
given Washington the Nation S
purest milk supply.
j IF all the milk supplied to the
city of Baltimore was offered in
this market, not more than 5 per
cent could come in because our
Health Department regulations
are so stringent, Mr.. Whiteford
said.
Judge HoltZof said he doubted
if he would allow the Government
to introduce evidence to support
its contention that the association
put pressure on the Health De-
partment.
Every citizen has a right to
apply to Government agency for
such relief as he feels he is en-
titled to-" Judge Holtzoh said.
The Government filed charges
against the association and the
dairieS more than two years ago.
The defendants won a motion to
have the suit set aside when it
first came to trial before Judge
Richmond B. Keech. The United

However. Representative Orrer
Harris. the Democratic manager
is not disturbed. He is not given
to worry. In fact, with two
straight victories to the credit OF
the Democrats, he feels that even
the maximum in improvement by
the Republican team could only
serve to make the Democratic
margin Of victory shorter.
Who is this Jensen. anyway
he asked. Maybe he did catch
one bare-handed. Maybe he can
hang on to anything that comes
