Hester Editor and Publisher DAILY GREETING TO OUR READERS "A commonplace life," we say and we sigh, But why should we sigh as we say? The commonplace sun in the commonplace sky Make up the commonplace day. —Home and Country Magazine POLITICS IS DRAWING ABLE WOMEN Women of brilliant attainments are entering political life in this country. Of especial interest is information from New Orleans to the effect that Genevieve Clark Thompson, wife of a prominent Southern publisher, and daughter of the late Champ Clark, of Missouri may be sent to Congress. Genevieve Clark was a belle in Washington and followed politics with an intensity and intelligence rarely witnessed in either man or woman. It would be in keeping with her talents and her tastes, no doubt to go back to Washington as a member of the House in which her father was distinguished for so long. Women are becoming big factors in political life. Their keenness of perception, their enthusiasm, their direct, methodical way of doing things and their high sense of responsibility in public positions fit them to serve the public usefully and acceptably. As women advance in knowledge of and familiarity with political affairs, their activities will widen and greater numbers of them will be serving in Congress and in other high official positions. The tongue of slander has stabbed more men and women to death or to ruined health and fortune than the sword of war. AMERICA IS ECONOMIC ARBITER OF WORLD Preponderating influence upon the economic life of the world will continue to emanate from America, as it does now. This is the conclusion expressed in the annual report of the Federated Reserve Board. There are several factors contributing AMERICA IS ECONOMIC ARBITER OF WORLD Preponderating influence upon the economic life of the world will continue to emanate from America, as it does now. This is the conclusion expressed in the annual report of the Federated Reserve Board. There are several factors contributing toward this leadership of America in things economic. For one thing, gold is coming to the United States in such huge volume that this country already has four-tenths of the world's entire stock of money. Another thing, the American dollar, with gold-standard basis, is being used more widely in foreign parts. Furthermore, America's foreign trade gradually, but steadily is growing. And many interests abroad are adopting American trade and commercial policies. These things denote the widening influence of America in the commercial and financial affairs of the world. This gives to the United States power and influence which can be and should be used with discretion and for the weal, not only of America, but of the world. The United States is establishing itself as the commercial and financial center of the world. This gives many normous advantages. And yet it imposes many heavy obligations and outstanding responsibilities upon America. -ELECTHerbert H.

Stop and think. You could be living in your own home right now if you had got started a year or two ago. The longer you wait the more you lose—because the money you are sinking for rent and other expenses could just as well be going into a home. Talk it over with your wife. You will find that she has been thinking along these lines. She has friends who live in their own homes, and who built them and own them without any hardships. You know that a home means everything to a family. It is not a speculation; it is a real profitable investment. Talk it over with your dealer. He is a practitioner in building. He knows about building and building materials. He is right here; this is his home, and he wants to give you the kind of service that will make you a friend of his.

TUESDAY The Eternal Spirit Read Mt. 13:31-44. Text 13:33. The kingdom of heaven is like unto leaven, which a woman took, and hid in three measures of meal, till it was all leavened. "The significant thing is that the religious experience of Jesus was being continued within the precincts of his human relationship. This was being accomplished not simply through the remembrance of his career in Galilee, a little later perpetuated in historical Gospel records, but through his continued personal contact with human life." MEDITATION: As Jesus was able to communicate to his disciples the nature of his divine life so that they too became partakers of God's grace and point heirs with Him of God's promises of immortality, so has His Spirit during the years led countless thousands into life eternal. This spirit ever allures the souls of men to enter the daily practice of immortality. PERSONAL QUESTION: Does the restlessness and dissatisfaction of the present help me to a better TIME TABLE A.

For Cardinal Glovanni Bonzano, former apostolic delegate to the United States, took out the necessary papers and became a U. S. citizen while at his post in Washington. He was elevated to carinal after his return to Rome. Cardinal Bonzano was born in Castellotto, Piedmont, in 1867. He studied in the Seminary-College of Peter and St. Paul at Rome, immediately after his ordination in 1890 he was sent to China. Here he did missionary work for six years, returning to his alma mater in broken health. Cardinal Bonzano resumed his studies and had the degree of Doctor of Theology and Canon Law conferred upon him. He was appointed Vicar-General of the Diocee of Vigevano, but soon thereafter was recalled to Rome to succeed Mgr. Camessel as rector of the Urban College. As Papal delegate to the United States he succeeded Cardinal Falconio. In addition to his routine as apostolic Delegate, Archbishop Bonzano was Apostolic Visitor extraordinary to the 14 ecclesiastical provinces and their dependencies in the United States. This extra work involved personal interviews with every Archbishop and Bishop in the country. One of the characteristics of Cardinal Bonzano is his versatility. He is essentially an intellectual, but continuous physical work. Comments of the Press What Editors Are Saying FASHIONS ARE CHANGING AND DIVERSE—San Diego Union It's a big mistake to assume that the word, "fashion," applies only—or most importantly—to styles of clothing or the changing rules of behavior in what is called polite society. Nothing of the sort. The rules of fashion are most important through their powerful effect upon the things men think and the things that men in the mass delight to do. Fashion it is which dictates crime waves, trust-busting, internationalism, war, peace, democracy—any number of things which we are accustomed to think of as the products of circumstance or pure reason. The truth is that we are all born with the instinct to be "fashionable"—all of us except the genuine genius; that is—an immeasurable amount of our energy is devoted to this effort. This fact, rightly understood, can be used for great purposes of good or evil. We can all recall the ravages of "fashions" that had nothing to do with clothes or etiquette. For instance, there was the trust-busting fashion, so tremendously dominated by the late "Teddy" Roosevelt. It had a permanent effect upon our laws and our habits of thought; but it raged for a time with the violence of the ordinary fad. While the government was breaking up the big trusts, the rising young district attorney of Bingville, Okla., was busily discovering bean trusts, mule trusts and peanut stand trusts right in his own territory—and the process was being imitated vigorously all over the country. A young man named Hornung started a smaller, but very definite, fashion. He wrote a book on the adventures of "Raffles," a gentleman burglar who wore full dress on all "jobs" undertaken after 6 o'clock in the evening. The idea "took." Amateur gentleman burglars—most of them amateur gentlemen, too—sprang up all over the country. A crime wave of peculiar aspect got under way—and it was finally at the request of the authorities that Mr. Hornung wrote the last sequel to "Raffles," trying to show that he came to just as bad an end as any other burglar! So fashion rages, in almost epidemic style. More recently we've had the questionnaire fashion, the "injection" fashion—featuring glands and serums designed to do pretty nearly everything from giving everlasting life to enforcing obedience to the truth—and the archeology fashion. The latter ranged in extent from King Tut's tomb, Ur of the Chaldees and the Maya ruins in Yucatan, to the bleak wastes of Siberia. It encouraged the furor over the Santa Barbara man, and it had its local "angle" when folks got excited by a boy's discovery of a fossil shell in a San Diego canyon. Nationally (we're just now in the grip of the investigation.) In addition to his routine as postolic Delegate, Archbishop Gonzano was Apostolic Visitor extraordinary to the 14 ecclesiastical provinces and their dependencies in the United States. This extra work involved personal interviews with every Archbishop and Bishop in the country. One of the characteristics of Cardinal Bonzano is his versatility. He is essentially an intellectual, but continuous physical work as no terrors for him. A lady meaning to drop a nickel to the cup of a blind man, let the coin fall to the sidewalk. The blind man very promptly and spryly picked it up. "How could you do that?" asked the lady. "I thought you were ind." "I am not the blind man, lady," she polite response. "I'm just asking his place while he is at a moving-picture show." William Allen White, the Kansas editor, at a banquet of notables in Washington, told how he found a dress suit unnecessary for those in high positions. He said he was invited to a banquet in honor of Barney Baruch and wired a friend asking if he must wear a dress suit, and the friend replied, "The 12 apostles extended a banquet to a bigger man than Baruch and wore their business suits." "Look here what I bought for that dog of Junior's," Mr. Burton announced, throwing a package on the table. Mrs. Burton unwrapped it. Why, George!" she exclaimed. A dog collar—of all things! "Yes, and I gave $3.50 for it," Mr. Burton related. "Three dollars and a half!" shoed Mrs. Burton. "What on earth? I don't understand! you've always said you had no one on earth for Junior's dog, and you wished somebody would steal it." "Yes, that's just it," Mr. Burton greed. "With that collar on it someone will be sure to steal it now." Correct this sentence: "'And when we are married,' she cooed, we'll just be real partners and either one will be boss." TIME TABLE A.
