The room in which we u t had every window and doer elMMutd and the home was wea- tfear-trippad. There was no aer­ ial or outride connection with the radio cahinet front which the atraina of the pipe organ were coming, A brick house, weather- stripped and closed tight as a drum, and yet the pipe organ, played six hundred miles away, was heard distinctly,- Talk about your fairy stories, your Aladdin’s' won­ derful lamp and the goose that iiad the golden eggs! The other night we *aw a picture that moved on a screen. For a mo­ ment it was still—something had happened to the machine. I t was still,, like the old magic lantern piei tures of twenty years ago, then the people began to walk, the birds be­ gan to fly and the whole scene was in action, A few days ago a big- bag filled with gas and driven by motors, brought thirty-two people from Germany to America iij 81 hours. It took Christopher Columbus months to make the trip. And so it goes. Science prevents pestilences, surgeons make new faces, physicians prolong life, in ­ ventors send ships into the air and nndor. the seas, the human voice speaks across vast distances, miles are obliterated until a man crosses the continent between daylight and dark. This is a wonderful age. in which, we"’live. We have witnessed the expansion of steam from Watt’s , tea kettle^’ through the monster turbine, en­ gines into the marvelous work of the dynamo. Today scientists tell us there is power enough locked up in a tumbler of water to propel an ocean liner from New York to Liverpool— that a few quarts of water, some day, will rtin factories and furnish' the necessary power of transportation. - And yet some folks are Worrying over the possible exhaustion of wood, coal and oil. Better worry for fear some inquisitive scientist touches the wrong atom and blows ns all into space.- Some ‘seeker a fte r knowledge is apt to do just that very thing, and when he does we won’t oven have time to say "good-bye.” ^uiv.mpy ti? help humanity'.' Thin OUR BIGGEST JOB We rarely take up a newspaper without seeing accounts of thefts, robberies and murderous outrages. But these crimes are still so rare that they are looked upon as matter of news. I t is not that eviL Is . not mighty prevalent, but calmer thought must a t once convince Us that good' is vastly more mighty and vastly more prevalent. So great* is the. differeftece that in,, spite of ,the sensational crime news, so blazonly played up by scare heads in the newspapers, ,we have practically no fears fo r ourselves or for our children. -So little, as a' rule, do we actually suffer of wrong from, our fellow-mert, so little do we suf­ fe r from the combined efforts of all the intellect and power of the wicked, that, in order to complain a t all, we pour out our bitter be- wailings upon some petty two-mill tax or other that we feel to be un­ just! Think what might be the condition of the world today if evjl were actually more sttong and clev­ er than good! What would, become of our asylums, hospitals, lifesavipg stations, schools, churches and li­ braries? What would happen of respect for the aged, of reverence and homage to woman, and of the almost universal value placed upon sacred human life? In short, what would become of the law and order, national and international, which protects no t only the humblest sub­ ject or citizen in his rights, but the feeblest state in its independence? The records of criminals establish the fac t that the bad men of today were the bad boys of ten years ago. Our biggest job, then, is to look a fter the .children of today.

In 1007, through the influence of an sriiclg by Jacob Riis in the Outlook Magazine telling of the success of these Christmas seals sold in Deen- mnrk, Jlisa Emily V. Bissell of Wil­ mington, Delaware, brought the idea tp this country. That year, through her efforts, $1000 was raised to isy oil the sire of the first sanator­ ium in Delaware (called IJope Farm), rhert^were 300,000 seals sold. Last year over 400 million seals wore sold in this country—22 million were sold in Ohio. • From 1008 until 1919 the Christma? Seal sale was sponsoiMil by the American Red Cross, The 1910 seal, however, carried the familiar double-barred crois, thy rymbol of the crusade against tuber- -miosis and the official emblem, anil trademark of the National Tuber miosis Association and its 1400 state and local association, , Since 1919 the Red Cress has had 4o connection with the seal sale. Tlv.- movement is organizad and sponsoret entirely by the national, state an-: local tuberculosis associations, t-c whom the proceeds from the sale gc WILL OPPOSE GAS TAX I t is almost certain that the Qhic Automobile Association will oppose the gasoline tax proposed for roa-' revenues. The number of automobile owners in Ohio are well over one mil­ lion and this represents probably on an average of four million voters. V is from this-angle that the gas tax will be settled. We have always favored the gaso­ line tax for the reason tha t the very people that use the roads the .most would pay their just share of the up keep. Interstate travel would also pay for the use of Ohio roads as we dc' now when we buy gasoline in Indiana ■The position the auto .clubs take is not altogether unfair when their side is investigated. It is contended am we have no doubt it is true, that the automobile now is bearing a greater percent of tax in one form and aooth-, jr than any other piece ‘ of persona) property owned in Ohio, valuation of ■ourse considered. The autp clubs will support a gaso­ line tax On condition that some of the other tax now levied be lifted. In our opinion the present form of valuation of automobiles for personal property tax is unfair. Fifty percent of the automobiles wiil not sell a t public sale today for what valuation is on them for personal properly tax. We would suggest * that personal tax he eliminated entirely!, That the horse power tax be adopted and the gasoline .tax passed and t h a t ,all tax raised directly and indirectly from the automobile and truck owners ho used for road repair and upkeep and that these funds be divided on a fifty per cent basis with the taxing district in which that are collected and that the state and county divide the balance on equal basis. This will provide funds for upkeep and enable township trustees to keen side roads in better repair. Main mar­ ket roads^to be built as a t present by the state and county hut that the land owner's assessment be reduced fifty per cent over what it is at present.

There­ for* i give a few such instances from my own experience: I know a housewife who la famous for her lemon Jumbles, and another whose mince pies are a toothsome de­ light. These two women remember their friends each Christmas* with their specialties, anil, l assure you, no present is received more gratefully than is theirs, Still another, who makes orange marmalade by a won­ derful secret recipe, give# s glass of this confection to her favored circls- But—a word of warning: Be abso- • lutely sure that such an offering Is really and truly desired. For example, I remember one woman, on a strict diet, to whom all sweets are forbidden,, whose careless acquaintances are con­ stantly sending boxes of candy, and one whom strawberries sicken aitd who, last year, received a glass of wild strawberry Jam, delicious to all those who could eat It, but, it hap­ pened, she could not. However, such mistakes are the result of careless­ ness, and need not occur, A shut-in once expatiated to me Upon the solid help afforded her by * Christmas present of a “utility bas­ ket," It held all the odds and ends she was forever wanting, and could not readily procure for herself—pins, needles, tape, balls and sockets, thrends and silks and cottons. "Eve,ry -time I peep into It,” she cried, as happy as a child, ’“I find Something new that I need.” It was not an ex­ pensive offering,, and yet It was one of the most acceptable I ever heard of. Akin to It was a little silk sewing-bag, also rapturously received because the maker had informed herself of what the- recipient’s wardrobe would be that winter, and placed Inside, with Olmble and needle-case, spools of colored silks matching each garment t o , be worn’ that winter.. Here again the thought-- fulness—not the gift Itljelf—Is what counts. A case of threaded needles is most acceptable to all women beyond middle age whose eyes are beginning to fall, and Invaluable to a traveler. Other discriminating presents - are packets of choice seeds, saved during the summer, and sent to an amateur gardener at Christmas time. ’A manu­ script book (typewritten, if possible) of tested recipes, compiled by th& sender, is another always welcome offering. And what pleasure, sentimental, ret-, respective and anticipatory, was theirs, sojourners In a far western home, who, just helm'd the holidays, opened a box front mother and'sisters "back home" in the East, containing a pluni pudding and a fruit cake, made, by the well-remembered recipe and,; on Christmas day, to he enjoyed with* . most affectionate thoughts of those who, thousands of miles away, had helped to cook the gala-time dinner.— May Wilson.

Every human being has a radio—a ‘heart-radio. If we take the trouble to “tune In." we are In a fair way of becom­ ing good receiving stations. And a good receiver may hear har­ monies that will vibrate through his being' like chords on a harp. At Christinas time we should have heart-radios In perfect con­ dition that we tuny know the beauty of God’s love, which manifests Itself in kindliness,- friendliness, happiness and good -cheer. "Tune in," friends, and who, knows but we may hear the angels caroling on Christmas Eve!—Martha Banning Thomas. (©, ItU.

T8 TIIRHR any found*tlo« for our prejudice again* tb« m*rri*g* of closely related persons? , In mure than * third of the United States marriage of fiipt cousins Is for­ bidden, la Gfclahwtta net sysb second cousins are allowed to marry. Yet In England mam ago between cousins is qwRa common and bus been for genorations. Ah Englishman can marry hl« father's brother’s daughter, but until recently he was sot allowed to marry hi* degassed wife’s sister, who was no relafion to him whatever. Professor Paul Poponoe, the well- known authority as this subject, says tligt whether or pet cousins should marry depends wirirely on the cousins, Marriage between persona of the same ancestry and the same personal traits tends to produce children with these traits more strongly developed. if the inherited characteristics are good, the marriage results In better children. - If the Inherited traits are bed, then poorer children sue the result. Professor Popenoe concludes that If both Interested parties to the marriage are strong and healthy, mentally and physically, above.the average, with no had tendencies hs their common an­ cestors for several generations back, their children will probably he above the average. But If tbe oouHns are mentally or/ physically below'the average, If their ancestors had undesirable traits, or If any evidences of Insanity, feeble­ mindedness, liability to disease, ec­ centricities, or other undesirable pecu­ liarities were present*;then their mar­ riage would, be inadvisable. Professor Popehoe’a conclusions,are In line with what every live stock breeder knows from experience. The breeder known that when tbe parents are carefully Selected and all animals with bad traits and physical defects-are cut out, there Is no quicker, or surer way of building up. ,a fine grade of stack then by inbreeding, Qn the other hand, the breeder knows that if the parents, are defec­ tive, low grade ok "scrub" animals, the general average of the herd is lowered. So the answer to the. question whether cousins should marry is that It ail depends on the cousins. And the best advice to those In doubt Is that of Punch—“Don’t." . . (©, J#3t.
