In 1931 the federal government spent $29 fox every person in the country. In the present fiscal year that cost has gone up to $276 per-per­ son. That dosen't mean just some persons; it means every man wo­ man and child: in the land, and there are a great many more of them, incidentally, than there were in 1931. A great deal of the spending is unnecessary and a- mounts to profigacy. Some people still cling to the false idea that if the government pays for it, it doesn’t cost anybody anything! But when every individual in the entire USA spends 76 cents a day fo r g'ovenrment it amounts to a millstone around out financial necks. SHOO; FLY! The newest and best shoo-fly Is: cotton.

N THE LESSON today the read­ er’ s knowledge, o f the; chief facts of the life of Moses mint be taken for granted. The. lesson text be­ gins with the: giving, o f the Law on Sinai, three months after the Is­ raelites had. crossed the Red Sea. The Ten Commandments were des­ tined to be the basis of all the jurisprudence of the world in after ages. Following the giving of the Law, Moses built a tabernacle of wor­ ship, a movable sanctuary, adapted to the needs of a nomadic people. God gave the pattern of the sanc­ tuary to Moses and the people gladly gave the materials that were needed. It was designed that it could be quickly taken down and carried on the; march—to be set up again when a new camp was reached. The tabernacle was a great symbol as well as a practical provision for worship for a marching host. It was a symbol of God’ s pres­ ence and an assurance of his might as the people marched through the years toward Canaan. The free gift of things needed for the tabernacle brings us a fine example today. we would build a church unto God. As the Israel­ ites freely consecrated what they had to the tabernacle,, even to -their p*reciou3 possessions, in order to provide a place of worship, so they who would now build a church must be o f a “ spirit made willing’ ’ * in 6 ongress W ith a Buckeye , ' C L A R E N C E J . B R OW N W rite s While events in the far east are moving such rapidity as to make difficult the writing of a column days in advance or-pub- lication, it does seem apparent the question o f whether "World War III is a hand depends upon Russia. The president and most military leaders seemingly feel Russia is not ready to fight now and w iir back down. The United ^ States, along with other mem­ bers of the United Nations, has been committed to defend South Korea against aggression. How long or how effectively South Korea can be defended depends, however, upon the amount o f out­ side military stregth and supplies sent into that . beleaguered ai%.. American troops were withdrawn from Korea a year ago, four our military leaders insisted it would be extremely difficult to defend and hold the southern portion of the Korean Peninsula. By going to the aid of South Korea and ordering the defense of Formosa, President Truman turned, his back on Secretary of State Dean Acheson, and his far east advisor, Owen Lattimore, and reversed the state depart­ ment’s policy for Asia, which has been under such heavy criticism in recent mon ths. It now appears that our defense penimeter in the Far East will be Japan, Okinawa, Formosa, the Philippines, per­ haps Indo-China, the East Indies, Australia and New Zealand. American intervention in Korea moves this nation into the fore­ front o f world affairs as never doors?

Do they think it is a *moth, or a spider ’web— their enemies? Or do flies think at all? Scientists may spend their time milking their whiskers and worrying about why cotton keeps flies away. A BETTER WORLD So often you hear some one say somthing about “ making the would a little better place in which to live.” Commendable. Worthy ambition. Desireable. But what we rally need is to make the world a whole lot better place in which to live, not a little better. We think it can be done, hut only by the system Jesus of Nazareth prescribed. Wars won’t accom­ plish it. They defeat the purpose. Hate and revenge are destruc­ tive. "What, we have to have is love and tolerance and universal desire for peace. Give those pro­ posals the same degree of co­ ordination and co-operation, the same money and time and effort that are required to fight wars, and the end can be gained. It is not impractical. A WISE JUDGE A New York judge made Page 1 o f the newspaper by ordering a man at whom a boy had thrown atones to buy the boy an ice cream sundae. First, the story says, the judge took the boy through the jail and showed him the cells! then said to him, “ If you are a good hoy you won’t have to be put in these places!” He admitted that in his own boy­ hood he threw a lot o f stones when he shouldn’t. The man and the hoy went o ff to the soda fountain, arm in arm, and your guess is that the experience will teach them both lessons—the boy -not to throw stones and the man tact in getting along with a boy. hikes it, arising at 4 a. m.

"WILES, New York City, told me a story the other day about his sister, who unwittingly used the most valuable technique in accomplishing her aim. No doubt you, too, have un­ wittingly used just the right method in persuading someone to do;what you want dope. Often, intuition or instinct prompts the right method. Miss W iles is; on* the staff of the fine arts de­ partment of the University of Chicago. Among her duties is that o f Staging exhibits. But she doesn’t always find exact]}* what she wants for hdfcexhib­ its, nor can she always persuade, the owner to let her have the art; sh^,wants when she does find it. This the case this year. She wanted to build her exhibit around three unusual, pieces * f sculpture. The universi­ ty owned.copies of all t h r e e o f these Carnegie pieces, bat » copy isn’t the same thing as" an original and it would lend ever so much more im - portonce'to the exhibit to display originals. The sculptor is an elderly man, and no doubt over the course o f years had nojt found it wise to let his originals be on exhibit. Or so it would seem, for he didn’t take kindly to the request. But Miss^Wiles. has that all-important trait, perseverance. She d e r i d e d ? t o see the artist in person, so she went all th e ' way to Dettori,j&nd arriving there made an appointment with the artist. Befqgq .the interview,* she was shown through the artist’s studio and wsuiAthrilled by what she saw. Finally came the mo­ ment for her “five-m inute” interview. Fiv* minutes?

Certainly I do not believe that such an arbi­ trary limitation of man’s freedom should be imposed except by their elected representatives and when such representatives find it to be' absolutely essentiaL Under the United Nations legis­ lation and under the Atlantic Pact, we have, in my opinion, delegated too much power to the President to involve this Nation in war. If he has the additional power to put selective service into effect and add men by induction to the armed services, the people have even less to say about our going to war. I believe the people are very strongly in favor of peace, and at least I believe that Congress should again act before the prin-r ciple of a compulsory draft is actually put into effect. fT’HE Senate Military- Affairs Committee •recommended an amendment under which any draftee or any person enlisting in the Armed Forces shall b e afforded an opportunity to say that he would serve only in a unit Where the enlisted personnel are o f his own race. The Army, has been gradually eliminating segregation between races, and this amendment at­ tempted to check- this effort. I was never willing to vote to require the Army to eliminate all segre­ gation, because I felt that in war the commanding officers might find it necessary for military pur­ poses to continue it, but I cer­ tainly would hot vote to prevent the steady efforts toward its elimi­ nation which I hope can ultimately bring that about.

But prior to acquiring this skill, baby has to learn to chew. JFor sucking m ay be .an instinct, but what to.do with his teeth is a mystery baby spends a lot of time happily solving. Actually, some children seem to object to chew­ ing and will hold solid pieces of food in the mouth for hours, or spit them out at first contact. Your best ally in this chewing game are baby’ s Angers—not only will he chew on them, but if he is allowed to pick up small bits of ' food with his Angers and'put them in his mouth he will chew experi­ mentally. (If you put the pieces into bis mouth he is more apt to spit them out.) Dr, Dorothy Whipple, author of “ Our American Babies” suggests that you let baby be- gin his meal with little dabs of •; cold cereal on ids plate which J he can pick up and put into kis ^ mouth himself. He is hungry | then, and while you finish pre- | paring the rest of his dinner I he can be giving himself a, | chewing lesson. f * Later on let him have some o f his vegetables cooked in strips so that he can hold them in his fingers and bite off a piece. This practice should be kept up throughout early childhood for young children, as well as babies, need a chance at, each meal to eat some food with their fingers. What does this do to table man­ ners? Let’s quote our same au­ thority, Dr. Whipple, who says: ‘ ‘Because a baby eats with his fingers and is somewhat messy at the table need give no-fear that his ultimate table manners will be sloppy. In babyhood we want jo y in eating that paves the way for a good appetite in years to come. Table manners, in time, will be a satisfactory copy of his parents’.” One w a r n i n g about that earliest stage of chewing when baby puts everything in Ms * month, from blanket cover to | mother’s parse, if left In bis | carriage. Be very sure that he l gets hold of nothing that can ' be bitten into pieces on which : he might choke. That is why ’ t raw carrot sticks should not be . ( given an infant. Even without : teeth he might chew off a bits * with Ms hardened gums that ‘ could later lodge in his throat, ' Celery is safe enough because the strings aren’t easily separated and baby just mashes the stalk. And the chicken drumstick is as fine a chewing delight as ever. Babies love bones almost as much as puppies do, and if the bone is smooth, with no sharp cod ers, any kind of meat bone is satisfactory. -Most of the meat should be cut off * •.so that only small pieces are left t o r the beginning chewer to prac­ tice on. , j Why not a diesel whistle for the theme song of the Railroad Hours ?
