MAJESTIC NARRATIVE IN SIMPLE WORDS Where shall one look for greater majesty in simplicity of recital of superlative facts than in the Bible? Consider the story of the creation. Suppose a modern sensational newspaper were telling such a story. There would be banner headlines across the page; the story would run into several pages. There would be adjectives, ranging from "stupendous, colossal, mammoth, unparalleled, immense, transcendent, vast, huge, garmentman"—and all the major and minor descriptives, even to begin to tell the story. Thousands of words would be used. The mind would be befogged and confused trying to follow verbose ramifications—the mazes of words. But how does the Bible tell this most amazing and awesome story? It is told completely and fully in ten words. Six of these words are of one syllable and from two to five letters each. There is not a comparative or superlative adjective in the sublime narrative. There is but one word of three units and their producing activities here. In discussing the semi-unannual meeting at which he was so sigally honored, Mr Lesser pointed out that the First National Pictures, Inc., whose features are pro- paper were telling such a story across the page; the story would run into several pages. There would be adjectives, ranging from "stupendous, colossal, mammoth, unparalleled, immense, transcendent, vast, huge, gargantuan"—and all the major and minor descriptives, even to begin to tell the story. Thousands of words would be used. The mind would be befogged and confused trying to follow verbose ramifications—the mazes of words. But how does the Bible tell this most amazing and awesome story? It is told completely and fully in ten words. Six of these words are of one syllable and from two to five letters each. There is not a comparative or superlative adjective in the sublime narrative. There is but one word of three syllables and two words of two syllables each. Thirteen syllables surfaced. Mapping the whole of the United States on an acre of Here is mode for majesty, clarity, comprehensiveness, beauty and simplicity of narration. No story in or of the world more transcendently important than this. And yet the Book of Books tells it all in ten little, simple words that a child may grasp. Time, circumstance, Author, the thing done—all these are told. No need of amplification to make the narrative complete. Let those who write or speak the English tongue model after the story of creation in Genesis; or after the sermon on the Mount; of Paul's defense before King Agrippa—for here is description, exhortation, oxation—all in the supreme and superlative for dramatic, graphic simplicity. Broken homes and divorces, here and there, do not signify that the institution of marriage is inherently unsound and is running to wreck on the reefs. The institution is sound and is successful in far more instances than in the number of its failures. PEACE REIGNING YET IN EUROPE Predicting another war in Europe is popular pastime among correspondents and among the pessimistic type of public men in this country and abroad. Admitting that there are situations and controversies which easily might be made cause for war, yet war does not come—and there have been just such situations as now exist, in virtually the entire period from the signing of the armistice to the present. There may be seeming indifference to the horrors of war in certain quarters of Europe. And yet, when the regions seemingly indifferent come to the brink of conflict, there is no conflict. It is fervently to be hoped that this situation may persist—that the countries and peoples in controversy may stop short of actual conflict. It is to be hoped that the greater powers, more stable in their devotion to peace, may discountenance war-like gestures among smaller nations. No region on the face of the earth is immune to earthquakes. Some regions have more seismic disturbances than others. But every land under the sun has its earthquakes sooner or later. With the signing of these contracts, the West Coast Theatre Inc. once again demonstrates pre-eminence as a theatrical organization by giving its vanguardlethe very best picture obtainable anywhere." stated M.

Secretary Davis and Housing Expert Bespeak Better Homes in America; Demonstration Week--May 11 to 14 The Better Homes in America movement seeks to help every American family to raise its standard of housing and of home and home life and to develop the highest spiritual values of the home. While the movement is entirely non-commercial and not directly a house building organization, one of its aims is to encourage home ownership. James J. Davis, Secretary of Labor and a member of the Advisory Council of Better Homes in America, states his views in this way: "Nothing that we can do to provide more and better homes in America will be ill-done. For the home is the basis of our whole civilization, of our whole American social and political system. Better conditions in the home make for better citizenship, and through surrounding our rising generations the family spirit we will provide better citizens for the future. Better homes mean a better people. Better people means a better government, and a more rapid advance in our civilization." Dr. John M. Gries, chief of the Division of Building and Housing of the Department of Commerce, and a member of both the Board of Directors and the Advisory Council of Better Homes in America, speaking of the physical housing standards which should be observed, says: "Fortunately the majority of American houses meet reasonable standards of shelter from the elements, privacy, space, light, ventilation and heating. There are still millions of them, however, which do not have plumbing or good artificial or natural light, which are overcrowded, and which expose their occupants cruelly to extremes included for one or more reasons the deficient group stands as a longer not only to the families in them, but to the communities in which they are situated, to the entire nation. "In a still larger group of health and character sufferers extent, and home life of its finest fruition because families in them do not make best of what they have." Plaiting and high thinking is an elent motto, but its author does forget that maintaining a standard of plain living is a that calls for a goodly share of best brains and energy." The national headquarters Better Homes in America, at Wington, D. C., report that overcommunities are organized to serve Better Homes Week. PARAGRAPHS by Robt.

Follow the ball R TUESDAY, MAY 5, 19 COMMENTS of the PRESS What Editors Are Saying NEGROES DYING AT FAST RATE—Berkeley Gazette The negro death rate in American cities is appalling. This especially true in the North, where there has been a large migrat She of Southern negroes, living mostly in poor, crowded, unsanitary quarters, and not yet acclimated. In one large northern city, whence the mortality rate among native whites last year was 7.9 per thousand, among negroes it was 29.1 per thousand, nearly four times as great. At this rate the negroes in America would die off in a few generations. It is more than twice the death rate of our white population. The negro race as a whole still shows more births than deaths in this country, but the margin is slight. In the decade from 1910 to 1920, while the whites increased from 81,700,000 to 94,800,000, the blacks increased only from 9,800,000 to 10,400,000. Far from gaining on the whites, as some alarmists have feared, they are becoming an ever-smaller fraction of the population. HEALTH AND DIET ADVICE By Dr. Frank McCoy Author of "THE FAST WAY TO HEALTR" STARCHES—NOT SO GOOD BUCKWHEAT FLOUR, OATMEAL FLOUR, are used in many different ways in the preparation of foodstuffs, but are quite irritating to the alimentary tract, and are the direct irritating cause of many skin diseases. I do not recommend them as a wholesome kind of starchy food, but they may be used waaem no better starches available. RYE FLOUR is very hard to secure in a pure form, but usually mixed with wheat flour the same as the ordinary whole wheat flour. If you can secure the raw flour which is not mixed with wheat flour, very delicious muffins can be made from it, using the same caution in cooking as with the whole wheat muffin that is cooking them slowly and quite thin, so that they may be cooked thoroughly through. FRESH LIMA BEANS are relished by many, and when they are small-have a small amount of starch, but as they grow larger the starch develops in them, and hey will hen eakily cause inflammation in the same way as other dried beans. GREEN PEAS when matured have a similar composition; navy beans, and are gas-forming with some people whose digestion power is not normal. If they the very young and small, they may be used in the non-starchy class. (To be continued.)

Superstitions don't last long, especially when it costs money to believe in them. For example, the majority of western motorists have long since stopped paying tribute to the superstition that there is something mysteriously "better" about "eastern" motor oils merely because they cost more and are made in the East.
