DESIGN FOR PROSPERITY It is just five years-since Australia, one of the first countries to be caught in the htu-ricaihe of depression, called in Sir Otto Niemeyer, of the I$ank of England, to advise her as to the way to escape from the financial chaos which threatened to engulf her. Sir Otto propsed a series of dra stic economies in expenditure, both Federal ahfl State, which were only •accepted after a violent political con flict involving the secession of Mr. Lyons, the then Labour Treasurer, to head a coalition of the Opposition parties. The sacrifices were heavy, but they were borne cheerfully by the Australian people and have been abundantly justified by their re sults. —London Mornjng Post I THE CAMPAIGN FOR TEA The occasional announcement the tea. propaganda authorities/out lining a publicity campaign to 'con vert to tea drinking the 120" millions "in the U.S.A, or, as, in the case of tween them was; Judge: “On coming into this court what are you supposed to do, tell the truth or tell lies?” Youth: “Th'e truth,* sir.” Judge: “Why the truth?” Youth: “This is-a court and I have to tell the truth.” „ Judge? “Dp you know what this is,” passing the Bible. . , .

A cough during a sermon may be <lu.ei.to a cold, but it may also imply boredom, disagreement with the speaker, or even a bad conscience. Most -preach- ersers can readily distinguish be tween a throatal and a’ temperamen tal affectiop. As for changing one’s position in’ church, this can be .done quite naturally, without'’ stopping the . sermon. If can be done in such a way as to -indicate iffipatfence, but it may also indicate a growing interest in the discourse. In the old days, when preachers would illustrate their, secondlys and t.hirdlys with pointed ptoties, the entire-congrggation would, change over their legs and show signs of relaxation and sudden interest. A -few coughs during a > sermon should not disturb, the average preacher, but an explosive’ sneeze mjght..No preacher likes to feel that •his efforts can be ,“sneezed at.” As foi; restlessness this does not. annoy ’t.hn man in- the'pulpit so much as-the si|ght. of members of his congregation nodding or* soundly asleep-, under his' homiletieal admonitions. The ''IflWT-" duction of an interval In t»he middle of the sermon might, serve the. pur pose of waking these sleepers, but -we"are -afraid “the y-woti-bb-merdly-use^ it:' as an 'opportunity to turn over, •so to speak. No one in his right senses would pour Water on burning oil. Yet at the recent annual meeting of the Na tional Fire Protection Association A. K. Brown advocated just that procedure. This does: not mean that an oil fire can be. put out just by throwing pailfuls of water on it, but it does mean that automatic sprinkl ers with properly designed "nozzles can spray water on burning oil’ and ..extinguish flames. ; T.he nevF''~]Trethod:‘~-of^ fires of liquids comes from England. There it was developed with such great success by a Manchester firm that American sprinkler ' manufac turers and fire underwriters could no longer ignore it; When it is more widely, introduced carbon dioxide, carbon tetrachloride, foam and chemicals may’be relegated to -posi tions .of minor importance. Putting out an oil .fire with water becomes a safe and sane proceeding when the naturSW the blaze is con sidered. Oil and other, inflammable and combustible liquids do not burn as such. . It is the vapor given off that burns. Moreover this vapor- must be mixed with oxygen arid the’ liquid must give off vapor steadily.. Once started,, the fire heats up the oil, but the lyaporiatzion thus brought about soon .reaches a ’ max imum. Cutting off' the oxygen to smother-flames is. one -way of ex tinguishing an oil fire. Cooling the oil bhlow the point- at which vapors are.given off and ignite is another. The System Employed . English system t'h’e spray j is strong enough to reach' the .sur face of the oil. . Either a foam or an emulsion of oil and 'watei’ 'is thus formed. If the drops of water are too ^ipal.1/ a mist 'is produced which is*.easily, dissipated without ■ doing rniich- good. , But if the drops, are just 'big a,nd heavy and power ful enough tbTstrijce the oil .and < mix with it; at the surface, fires dre sure to be put out.
