WONDERS OF HEAVENS REVEALED BY MAN Man, in the presence of and compared to God, is puny indeed. There is no comparison between finite man, with his many limitations, and the Infinite Being. And yet man, in his own sphere, under God and creature of the All-wise, is a wonderful being. It is not a just estimate to be too humble as to man's powers and achievements. It should be remembered reverently, however, that man is endowed with power from the Divine. He has none of his amazing skill and ingenuity in and of himself. In astronomy, the wonders of the human intellect are shown. Here are the astronomers on Mount Wilson, for example, utilizing the wonderful 100-inch telescope in determining the temperature and atmospheric conditions of the planet Mars. Recent observations, while the red planet was near the earth, indicate that the temperature of Mars is low and that its atmosphere is rare. This is determined with exactitude by processes which skilled scientists have devised. Astronomical science has pulled back the curtains of the heaven and revealed the glories and marvels of the firmament. Astronomical science has shown that the stars are not specks of light, flecking the sky, for the adornment of space, but mighty planets and huge systems, compared with which the earth and solar system of which the earth is a part, are pigny in size. Science has shown that instead of the few thousands of stars visible to the naked eye, there are hundreds of millions of heavenly bodies swinging in space. Truly, "the heavens declare the glory of God and the firmament showeth His handiwork."

MAKE ARMISTICE DAY PROMOTE PEACE Turn Armistice Day into an occasion for intensive thought and effort for peace, is the good suggestion of President Coolidge. "We shall make our greatest contribution to human welfare," says Mr. Coolidge, "if we shall on this international anniversary of peace restored, turn our thoughts and endeavors to the ideal of peace perpetrated, assured and established as a universal benison." Mr. Coolidge, however, would not fail in acknowledging "our obligation to those whose noble service won the victory and established our complete independence." But along with this, says Mr. Coolidge, "we shall have in mind the thought of peace gained for all the world and all time through co-operation of the same liberal forces that brought the victory." About the most powerful force in this country for just and enduring peace are the gallant survivors of the Civil War, the war with Spain and the World war. These brave men have experienced the horrors of warfare. They know its terrors. They realize the anguish and the ruin that it entails. They do not want any more war, if it honorably can be avoided. They are for just peace. It is fitting, therefore, that, in cherishing the glorious memory of those who fought for the fruits of Armistice Day, to foster acceptable movements for the promotion of peace throughout the world. This Nation has manifold reason for thankfulness on Thanksgiving. It has been a year of multiplied blessings from Providence. C. M.

LOOK! TO DAY ONLY EVERY BAZAR DAZAR WHO'S WHO IN THE DAYS NEWS SIR CHARLES PARSONS While astronomers anticipate the day when we may hold converse with Mars and inferior planets, Sir Charles Parsons, noted British scientist, thinks the time has arrived for us to delve into some of the mysteries that lie untold far beneath the surface of our own little sphere. The scientist claims that a 12-mile shaft should be sunk into the earth and effort made by us to know more about subterranean conditions. The project is arousing so much interest and curiosity that preliminary plans for the shaft are already under way, according to Sir Charles, who is best known as the perfecter of the famous turbine engine. Sir Charles Algernon Parsons who was born June 13, 1854, the fourth son of the 3rd Earl of Rosse, was educated at St John's College and Cambridge University. He holds the degrees of Fellow of the Royal Society, M. A., LL.D., and Doctor of Sciences. He was at one time president of the North-East Coast Institution of Engineers and Shipbuilders and he has been active in electrical and engineering interests throughout England, serving at one time as chairman of the Parsons Marine Steam Turbine Co., director of the Cambridge Electric Supply Co. and the Scarborough Electric Supply Co. and as chairman of The Parsons Electrical and Engineering works of the C. A. Parsons & Co. at Heaton, Newcastle-on-Tyne. Sir Charles enjoys the distinction of being a Knight Commander-of the Bath. He makes his POEMS THAT LIVE A GULL Grey wings, O grey wings against a cloud Over the rough waves flashing, Whose was the scream, startling and loud, Keen through the skies—was it thine. Piercing above the wind and the moaning whine Of the wide seas dashing? Whose was the scream that I heard In the midst of the hurrying air—Was it thine, lost bird? Or the voice of an old despair Shrieking from years long dead, Inexorable spirit flying On tempest wings, that passed and fled Through the storm crying? —Robert Hillyer. Health and Diet Advice By Dr. Frank McCoy Author of "THE FAST WAY TO HEALTH" FASTING FOR HEALTH Voluntary abstinence from food is a method for the cure of disease, is as old as animal life itself. We find unmistakable evidence that the lower forms of animal and bird life have instinctively chosen this means of restoring themselves to the normal whenever it is necessary. The pristine struggle for the "Survival of the Fittest" made it imperative when the opportunity came for satisfying the cravings of hunger, the fortunate winner in the contest should satiate himself to the utmost with food at his immediate disposal, and gorging upon the fruits of conquest seems to have been a reasonable procedure for primitive man whose sustenance was hard to obtain and difficult to preserve, both against putrefaction and the attacks of his neighbor who was no less eagerly desirous of satisfying his hunger for food. As man's intelligence increased, he became more and more a ruler over nature, and we see him in the agricultural age learning how to store away, cunningly, grain and tubers, and even finally to preserve by drying the flesh of animals so as to be able to put away provisions for use as deed. When nutritious food became plentiful the craving of hunger became less, and the cultivation of epicurean appetites for tasty dishes became more and more a vice, from which man has actually suffered in a greater degree than from the forced hunger of his primordial struggle against nature. (To be continued) TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 11, 1924 COMMENTS of the PRESS What Editors Are Saying UNCLE SAM RUNS HUGE STORE—Riverside (Cal.) Press Uncle Samuel is running a big store and is selling to all the world. He enjoys 17 per cent of all the trade of the whole earth, if we count what he buys as well as what he sells. It takes considerable expert bookkeeping to keep his accounts and balance the books, but it is done every year. There was a time not so many years ago when we looked with pride upon an export trade of a billion dollars and imports of something less than that. We watched the balance very closely, and if we bought at any time a hundred millions more goods than we sold we began to fear national bankruptcy. Those were the days when our national expenditures began to approach a billion dollars a year, and we began to fear that some international sheriff must have his hand on our national door knocker. Those, of course, were "the good old days," but now we are too busy to think much about them. What keeps us busy is a foreign trade of $4,600,000,000, more than double that before the great war. This looks big, and it is big, and because it is in large measure a sale of surplus production it is still bigger than it looks in its effect upon our prosperity. Yet it is small when we compare it with our domestic trade. The products of the United States are valued at about $60,000,000,000 a year, which is about thirteen times as much as the total exports and imports and about twenty-five times as much as the exports. This shows that the store Uncle Sam runs at home is vastly larger than the one he operates for the benefit of the world at large. There has been a great change in the past score of years in the character of our exports. Formerly the bulk of them was agricultural products. Now more than half are manufactures. The remainder is composed of agricultural products, minerals, chiefly coal oil and coal, and various raw materials. We have learned the important lesson, that if we do not buy abroad we can not sell abroad. We do not have to buy from the same countries to whom we sell, but there must be an approximate adjustment of the total. "Even exchange is no robbery," is a truth that governs international trade, even when that trade has become as complex as it now is. We can not expect to sell unless we buy. Other nations cannot buy unless they sell. This is what makes tariff adjustment a difficult problem, and gives opportunity for the "fine Italian hand" of some industries to do its expert work. GLEANINGS FROM THE BOOK OF LIFE THE ASSOCIATION OF IDEAS Did you ever, after a thoughtful period, attempt to refrence your chain of thought to its sources? It is a fascinating occupation, productive of the conclusion that there is a principle of connection between the different thoughts or ideas of the mind, and that in their appearance to the memory or imagination, they introduce each other with a certain degree of method and regularity. In our more serious thinking or discourse, it was observed by David Rume, English philosopher, any particular thought, which breaks in on the regular tract or chain of ideas is immediately remarked and rejected. And even in our wildest and most wandering reveries, nay in our very dreams, we shall find, if we reflect, that the imagination ran not altogether at adventures, but that there was still a connection unheld among the different ideas which succeeded each THE ASSOCIATION OF IDEAS Did you ever, after a thoughtful period, attempt to retrace your chain of thought to its sources?

"Were the loosest and freest conversation to be transcribed, there would immediately be observed something which connected it in all its transitions. Or where this is wanting, the person who broke the thread of discourse might still inform you, that there had secretly revolved in his mind a succession of thought, which had gradually led him from the subject of conversation. "Among different languages, even where we cannot suspect the least connection or communication, it is found, that the words, expressive of ideas, the most compounded, do yet nearly correspond to each other; a certain proof that the simple ideas, comprehend in the compound ones, were bound together by some universal principle, which had an equal influence on all mankind."
