Nations to Aid
the Jobless
A writer in the N.Y, Herald Tribune
Makes the assertion, that 1931 will be
the greatest'year on record for road
building. He further declares .that
' "not only will' the, Malted ,States ax•
tend the highway construction - pro-
gram to the uttermost, but other na-
tions throughout the world are plan=.
wing to make vast extensions to roads.
It is estimated by the United' States
Department of Commerce teat more
than ,$3,000,000 will be expended..
Among the natious that will take
part in the construction works are
Argentina, Canada, Japan, Medco,
Jugoslavia," Algeria, Greece, Hungary,
Bulgaria, Italy, Belgium, the United
Kingdom, Porto Rico and Austria.
According to the official report, Ar-
gentfna will pay out $200,000,000, Can-•
ada and Japan a least $10,000,000 each,
while Jugoslavia is prepared 'to ex-
pend $7.3,000,000. To relieve unem-
ployment in the Philippines there is
$0,000,000 ready for road work.
"Ono hundred and ten nations and
Political subdivisions bf the world will
Spend at least $2,00,000,000 on roads
and road construction during 1931, ac-
cording to an estimate made by auto-
motive division of the Bureatemf For-
elgn and Domestic Commerce," says
the statement by the Department of

as a consequence world highway bud-

and are expected in 1931 to be larger
than ever before.
"That history repeats itself in this
respect at least Is attested to by re-

Dr. Robb Advocates
Tonto Juice Tint
Contains Vitamin C, '-Which
Protects Scurvy, Minister'
of Health Points Out
Ontario's Minister of health, Hon.
Dr. Joitn Robb, is a firm believer in
thehealthfulness of tomatoes—parti-
cularly in the efficacy of, the juice oe
canned tomatoes in the Winter sea-
son when the average diet is delioi-.
ant in Vitamin C as a protection
against sourvy and kindred condi-
tions..
"The tomato," pointed out Dr.
Robb, "is composed of an outer cov-
ering called the skin. It contains
pulp, seeds and a large quantity of
juice, The valuable properties of
the tomato, from a dietary and medi-
cinal point of view, are contained in
the juice, and the most important
element in these dietary properties
is a large 'proportion of the vitamin
which protects against scurvy as
Vitamin C.
"During the Winter months Vit-
amin C in the ordinary human diet,
especially that part represented by
milk, is considerably reduced, and
therefore it is particularly essential
that our dietary deficiency be taken
care of by supplementing• our regular
diet with some food or food accessory
rich in Vitamin C. Nothing in this
connection is superior to tomato
Juice." declared the minister of
health. "A fortunate fact in this
connection is that vitamin C in
tomato juice is adequately protected
lay the presence of fruit acids, so
that the heat required in the process
of canning is not sufficient to mate-
rially reduce the vitamin C content
of the juice.
"Orange juice has Ioug been reeog-
nized as an excellent protective
against scurvy, and its use during the
Winter months forinfants artiiloil'ilty
fed, has biceme common, .Vire know
now that tomato juice is equally as
good as orange juice for this pure
Pose and it has the advantage that
the required amount of juice may be
taken for the !ufant and the balance
of the can, when we serve canned
tomatoes, may be used as au excel-
lent food for the family:
"The important point to be noted
is that our regular diet requires a
supplement to provide In the Winter
for the deficiency fu vitamin C. To-
mato juice adequately supplies this
deficiency."

A Rack for Covers
It is very annoying to have to waste
time Bunting for the cover you want
for a saucepan, but many housewives
have just this trouble, There is, no-
thing to hang covers by, Sometimes
they are arranged against the wall on
the back of a shelf, but a large as-
sortment of covers will take up con-
siderable space and this is not al-
ways available.
There are cover racks to be had
which can be hung ou the closet door
or on the side wall of the closet and
these will hold all, the covers, mak-
ing it possible to get the cover you
desire without the loss of a minute.
Otte woman never used the rack in
the range oven intended to be placed
under the roasting pan, so she put this
in one corner of the shell and felts

L. THE FORGIVENESS Or'. SINS, Luke 7:
It is o ten supposed that Elie peni-
tent woman in this story is' Mary
Magdalene; but, chat 'is. not stated,
nor implied. 1Vlary of Magdala is re-
ferred to,a few verses later (8: 2) as
the woman. out of whom Jose's had
cast seven devils; this probably refers
to an acute condition of hysteria or
demon -possession, whereas the woman
in this story was apparently a woman
"off the streets."
Much in the story is' left to our
imagination, and doubtless it had been
told ninny, times in different contexts
before ever it was written down; hence
at first eight it is not quite clear whe-
ther the woman is forgiven because
she loves much, or loves 'meth because
'she has been forgiven. The parable
of the debtor' implies that she loves
.much, because she has been forgiven
much, and this seems to be the mean-
ing of 'the story as k whole. If this
is so, we should `erhaps regard the
words, "because' ;he loved touch,".in v,
47, as somebody's mistaken marginal
comment which was no part• of the
original story, or perhaps the meanin
is, "she is forgiven, and you can see
that she is forgiven nee'
e has repented
because she loves timeli`or Oessibly
sayings of Jesus at another time have
been tacked on to the story 'of the wo-
n,an. The matter is • perplexing, but
nut of any great Importance. Jesus
clearly indicates, in the parable of the
Debtor. thnt these who have been for-
giver much will love much, bet he may
wait 1 "ve taught, on some other t'eea-
eeon, thet love covers a multitude- of

seems to have been ,1'tferent.
II. THE PHARISEES AND SINNERS, Luke,
chap. 7.
The i'cident will probably have oc-
curred early in the ministr$',.for after
Jesus' breach with the Phartsees it is
not eery likely that one of theta would
have invited him 1,1 a friendly way to
dine at his house. His host, itis true,
treats 'him with .erre courtesy; per-
haps he thinks that the peasant -
prophet will not -xpect the sort cf
treatment Simon. would offer an equal.
vs. 44-46. The party was reclining tot
the meal: cacti w raid be on a couch,
with his feet stretched away from the
table, and his left elbow resting on ie.
The seuuel, as has been said, is a his-
tory rather to be wept over than com-
mented •non. The woman must have
entered the courtyard, ante up the
verandah step, and perhaps passed
through en ante -room before entering
the dining ehmnbcr. How she !mined
admittance we do not know, We can
imagine the hush and awlcwnrdness
that would fall upun the party as she
entered. In silence, as we may ver-
ities suppose, she knelt and het tears
foil on Jesus' feet. Then, :hough no
,ewish women would wiilinaly do this
in public, she let down her "hair, and
wiped hie feet. Then Simon protests.
What mast have preceded this seen
we can only imagine. We do not knocv
what Jesus may' have said to her, if
indeed he had sail anything, but what
he had done for her is obvious.
III, JESUS AND VIE Stemma, Luke,
chap. 7.
Much of the teaching of Jesus was
Atkin to the nobler teaching of the
rabbis of his day; perhaps the most
striking difference between him and
them is to b:, found in his attitude to
sinners. They would gather up their
skirts to avoid the contaminating
touch of such a woman as this; he
came to seek out and to save sinners.
Jesus never condonedsin or suggested
for a moment that it did not matter;
he showed at once an attar abhorrence
of sin, and an Invincible love for tate
sinner. Therefc,re, this woman, who
might be brazen -faced before the
world, was brokenhearted, repentant,
transfigured and renewed when she
met with Jesus. Today, do such wo-
men regard church meitiber's as, she
regarded Christ, or ,1s site regarded
the Pharisees?
V. 48. Jesus said, "thy sins are for-
given," more probable than "thy sins
be forgiven," but neither tranulation
is legitimate. This may well be a repe-
tition of what he had said to her be-
fore, fat the parable of the debtor
suggests that she already knew she
was forgiven. In any case Jeeus does
not seom directly to forgive sins him-
self, but to declare that God has for-
„iven. Simitari; God "hath given
power and commandment to his min-
isters to declare and pronounce to his
people being penitent the absolution
and remission of their sins, The di-
vinity of Jesus is .,hown, not in a mys-
terious divine prerogative to forgive
sins on his own responsibility. but let
his attitude to the sinner; for his atti-
tude is'God's.

with the cause of shrinking grain
prices and referred to the return of

a Cold
Nino: rules for avoiding °olds have

cause, Mr, King asserts, a lossof more
than a billion dollars a year; some-
thing which would arouse instant
alarm if it happened in the stock mar-
ket but -which the country allows to go
on year after year virtually unchecked.
The first rule for avoiding this enor-

all the organs working normally," and

eight rules are devised, "Get plenty

"eliminate' the body poisons through
bowels, kidneys and lungs." The.
seventh, probably least known 08 all
to the average layman, is to get rid of
any chronic germ infections of mouth,
teeth, gums o: throat. These fre-
quently result, Mr. King states, in
starting new colds. The eighth prin-
ciple is that the special vacciues-re-

is to consult a physician promptly and
frequently in the early stages of a
cold so that the infection may be kept
as mild as possible.
"The Gorgeous East"
Truth Magazine (London): Speak-

said: "My Lords, the key of India is
Loudon. The majesty and sovereignty;
the spirit and vigor of your Parlia-
ment, the inexhaustible resources, the
ingenuity and determination ne your
people—these are the keys of India,"
They were the laat public words of a
statesman who was conscious that
England was the trustee of an inherit•
ance bequeathed to her by Clive and
Warren Hastings, by Wellesley, by
Dalhousie, by Canning, by Lawrence,
by Havelock, by Metcalfe. Having
poured into India for over two cen-
turies the wealth of London to float
the loans and build the railways; hav-
ing sent out to the Peninsula our
greatest soldiers and most sagacious
statesmen, England is now told to
stand aside, and leave questions of
vital. importance to the safety and
prosperity of the whole Empire to be
settled by a handful of Indian dele-
gates, whose authority to speak for
