Look not every man on his own ground, but every man also on the things of others. Philippe and 2.3, 4. Perhaps the city which has "no need of the sun, neither of the moon to shine in it, for the glory of God shall lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof," is too far above the ordinary soaring of our imagination to be readily conceived. But I think, in most cases, it is from want of use that the wings of thought droop so soon, and will carry us so little way upwards. Theophilus Parsons. OUTLAW WARFARE, PLEA OF MANY Outlaw warfare! This should be the paramount proposal by the United States in the next international arms conference. This is urged, in a memorial to President Coolidge, by prominent churchmen, educators, governors of states, and other notables. This action should be concurrent with additional reduction of armaments, the memorial urges. The time is ripe now for action of this kind, is the contention of these friends of peace. It is more and more apparent that the outlawing of warfare must be undertaken, in good faith, and in profound earnest, by the great powers of the world. There must be crystallization of sentiment everywhere around this major proposal—to put aggressive warfare on the defensive all over the earth—to outlaw the grim god Mars. The United States well may join this movement, heart and soul, and take leadership in it.

One tax reduction in the hand of the taxpayer is worth a hundred in florid promises. Battles among nations in the golden future—which should not be far ahead—will be fought on the field of reason. HEALTH AND DIET ADVICE By Dr. Frank McCoy Author of "THE FAST WAY TO HEALTH" GOOD—STARCHES (Continued) POTATOES: These constitute one of the finest forms of starchy food, although they only contain from 14% to 18% starch. I place the potato at the top of the list because I consider it one of the most valuable of the starchy foods, and not simply because of the quantity of starch it contains. White bread contains four times as much starch as potatoes, but if used in excess is about four times as injurious as the latter. If potatoes are used in proper combination with other foods, a larger amount can be eaten without injury than of any other starch. I believe the best way to prepare them is to wash them well with a vegetable brush, which should always be kept in the kitchen for this purpose. The potatoes should then be boiled in plain water for a long enough time to enable them to become soft. All starchy food requires long cooking in order to break up the starch cells and render them more easily digestible. Potatoes cooked in this way with their skins on will have a better natural flavor than if they are cooked in any other way. They should be eaten without removing the skin, which contains valuable vitamins and organic salts. The only part of the potato that is anything more than starch and water is the skin, and if this is removed the valuable bone and nerve building elements are lost. (To be continued.)

He has more in dirt than most cians make. Men are weak creatures they can hear a jazz on when the static drowses sermon. The green things are at spring, and even the The emancipation of women, excessive statutory prohibitions, the growing tendency toward uniformity between groups and classes of the present generation, and our "Assatic" method of criminal procedure—these, according to R. H. Towner, philosopher and author, are the factors dominating the decline of the civilization of the English-speaking people today. It will undoubtedly come as a surprise to many to learn that our civilization is on the down grade, and even more of a surprise to learn the reasons why, but Mr. Towner's evidence, set forth in abundance within the two volumes of his latest book, the "Philosophy of Civilization," has sparked many commentators into serious discussion of his premise. Mr. Towner has spent a lifetime in compiling the evidence upon which he bases his assertions. A series of old woodcuts, published in Century Magazine in 1887, which contrasted the heads of the ancient Pharaohs with those of lower cannons, led him to study of the theory which he later developed in his philosophy. Commenting on the difference between the Pharaohs and the Egyptian fellahheens, as he first viewed them in the magazine, Mr. Towner says: "It was evident that the differences between these were as old as civilization; that it was a difference of nervous organization; that the higher nervous organizations were always fewer than the lower; and that the positions of the Pharaohs and the fellahheens were never reversed—i.e., the higher nervous organizations although fewer in numbers always dominate the lower, and this relation tends to repeat itself throughout all history." This was practically the beginning of my thinking on the Philosophy of Civilization. In all my reading since, I was seeking for the factor in human life that tends always toward the same differentiation, creating a minority of higher nervous organizations, with few geniuses, and a great multitude of lower nervous organizations." Mr. Towner began dictating the Philosophy in 1915 and did not finish the first draft of it until 1922 working away from What the World Is Doing As Seen by Popular Mechanics Magazine Double-Duty Cash Register In a country hardware store a small radio department was opened and a partition erected to separate this section from the rest of the store. As the owner did not feel justified in purchasing a separate cash register for the new department, he devised the plan illustrated, which made it possible to use one cash register on both sides of the partition. A square section, a little higher and wider than the cash register, was cut out of the partition and the opening finished with casing. The bottom of the opening was desk-high, and a wooden panel was fitted loosely in this opening. A semi-circular shelf was fitted to the panel at the bottom and was supported by two iron-rod braces, as indicated, and a peephole, about 3 in. in diameter, was cut through the panel just above the top of the register. This allowed a clerk on one side to see whether or not a clerk on the other side was using the register. A hole was drilled in the center of the bottom casing to hold a socket for a strong pivot bolt, which was welded to a metal bracket, screwed to the panel and shelf as indicated in the detail. This permitted the panel to be swung around freely. It is a good idea to fit a bolt also in the correct Grid Leak in Your Radio Set Is Important One of the smallest parts that enters into the construction of a radio receiver is the grid leak, and in connection with it the grid condenser. As usual with small details they are given little attention. It will surprise many to know that the volume and clarity of reception depend on the correct value of the grid leak and the grid condenser. The grid current is determined by the number of negative electrons that are attracted to the grid from the filament. The negative charge on the grid sometimes piles up to a point where it practically stops the flow of plate current; the grid leak relieves this situation and frees the imprisoned electrons, preventing the tube from choking. This requires a grid leak of correct value for the tube used. The grid leaks now on the market vary in efficiency; some are correct in value according to their rating, others nearly so, and many are found to be inefficient. When selecting the materials for building your set, always demand the best; this applies especially to grid leaks and grid condensers. Substituting different grid leaks of various resistances in your receiver will often be the means of improving volume and clarity of reception. Each type of tube requires a different type of grid leak and grid condenser. The values of these parts are usually supplied by the manufacturer of the tube, and will be found in the literature accompanying the tube when purchased. A good variable grid leak is recommended by some authorities; another plan is to have several fixed grid leaks varying in value from one to five megohms and you will be able to select the best one on trial. The variable grid leak is a valuable instrument—if the average user would be content to let it alone once it is adjusted to the best value for the particular tube he is using. Once the leak is properly adjusted it should not be touched unless Washing the Car Chassis More mud and dirt collects under the body on the chassis than anywhere else on the car. A simple and efficient method of removing this is to use a stationary sprinkler of the kind shown in the drawing, provided water under pressure is available. It can be installed in any garage having a concrete floor and good drainage, and consists of two lengths of ½-in. water pipe, perforated with a number of small holes. The pipes are arranged along the side of the garage and connected to the water supply. The distance between the pipes should be a little greater than the tread of the car so that the spray will strike the underside of the chassis. Thus the water will reach parts that are nearly inaccessible when using a hose. Cathedral Saved by Diver Working Years in Dark One of the most heroic accomplishments in the annals of engineering has come to light in the account of a diver who, working single-handed and in almost complete darkness, saved Winchester cathedral in England by renewing its foundations. The task consumed most of five and one-half years and was performed several feet below the surface, in slimy soil and water. The building was METAL BRACKET AND PIVOT BOLT upper casing to give the arrangement greater stability and permit it to be turned more easily.

PHOTO TAKEN IN KING EDWARD HOTEL, TORONTO. FEARS among certain theatrical and motion picture magnates that the radio is luring thousands upon thousands of people away from the box offices is not shared by many screen favorites. Radio men declare they neither desire nor anticipate that interest will last in the drama and the movies, but that radio will encourage great support for the best plays and films. Among the actresses who believe radio will be helpful is Miss Priscilla Dean, who holds that reports of antagonism are greatly exaggerated, to say the least. Miss Dean is a radio enthusiast and finds much pleasure in listening to the music and story that the other brings, wherever she goes. COMMENTS of the PRESS What Editors Are Saying INFLUENCE FOR GOOD ON THE YOUNG— Christian Science Monitor Youth is plastic material. In the proper hands it may be molded into forms of beauty and usefulness; if left alone, to grow as it will, it may become distorted or develop unseeingly to no worthy purpose. In the impressionable years ranging from 16 to 21, particularly, the young man is in need of wise guidance that will direct him safely past the many pitfalls in his experience and aid him to gain a firm footing whence he will be able to see and to grasp securely tha which is good, true, tried and worthy of permanent regard. It is at this critical age that the Order of De Molay takes hold of the young man and seeks to lead him safely inside the portals of right thought and useful action. The citizenship forums, which De Molay chapters are conducting are just one example of the work of this organization. These forums have been arranged especially for young men who are soon to become of age and to enter into all th privileges and responsibilities of citizenship. Many of these young men are employed and are out of school, many of them who are still in school do not receive the type of training which the forums afford. Hence the arrangement of these citizenship courses to direct attention to such subjects as the problem of illiteracy, is consequence, and the means to remove it; the question of effective political action, how it may be obtained and encouraged; the question of home life its relation and value to society; the needs of the immigrant in our midst; the spiritual needs of man; international good will and the means of world peace, and the American form of government, how it may be improved and perpetuated. About these and similar subjects the entire work of the Order of De Molay revolves. The order is essentially a builder of manhood. It encourages loyalty to nome and parents, to the school and the church, and to the fundamentals of national life. It encourages the youth in education, self-expression, in the study of current questions, in the cultivation of life interests, in self-mastery, reaching young men in every state of the Union, and in many foreign countries. Organized in Kansas City, Mo., less than six years ago, the order now has a total world membership approaching 150,000. The Order of De Molay fits in admirably with such organizations as the Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts and Camp Fire Girls, all of which are seeking to shape wisely the lives of young men and women, to hold in their pathway a light that will guide them securely forward.
