INTRODUCTION—It was in the period
of the Judges, after lea, time .of
Joshua, that the Canaanites of north-
ern Palestine mightily oppressed the
children of Israel, The conquestof
the land by Joshua had been by no
meanb complete. The historian cf the
book of Judges makes that clear in
chaps. 1-3. In the north, the centre,
and the southwest there remained po-
tential enemies, nations whic,, he says,
the L or:i left to peeve Israel Sy them.
The 'Eleblew invaders under Joshua
and after made itch settlement as
they could with their. Canaanite neigh-
bors, sometimes on friendly terms,
sometimes unfriendly, and only. where
they) were strong_ did they put the
Canaanites to tribute. In Joshua's
campaigns he'faand a formidable ad-
versary in the north in Jabin, king of
Hazer, who gathered a creat host
from the northern states and gave
battle to Joshua at the waters ' of
Merom. Joshua was victorious and
followee up the rout of the enemy by
burning their city, oshJ 11: 1-14. It
is ;i,o wonder, thereicre, tl-at the
Canaanites of the north cherished a
hatred of Israel, and a desire to be
o venged. Their opportunity came
some time later when they got the
better of the Israelites in war and
subjected them to cruel oppression,

The song of Deborah (chap. 5) is
a fine example of. ancient Hebrew
poetry. It is a woillc of real genius
breathing a fine spirit of patriotic

tion."—R. E. Hutton.
Alnerica's Attitude
Toward League Changed.
Washington—The United States is
co-operating in practically every held
of activity of the Leagpe of Nations,
including important international con-
ferences and non-political enterprises,
according to a summary of the l ireign
Polley Association, published here.
America s attitude has changed in 10
years from haughty aloofness
which the State Department refused
to answer official communications
from the League, to one of close as-
sociation save in the meetings of the
Council and the Assembly.
"To -day the United States is par -
in one capacity of another
in practically all of the important
international conferences held under
the auspices of the League;'-- Ray-
mond Leglie Buell, research director
of the association, states In a fore-
word.
"Likewise, the United States has
developed a`system for the peaceful
settlement oe international disputes
which parallels, in certain respects,

the League. Thus, as will be seen,

II. THE CALL ro A11•-0, 4: 4-12.
Not many wo..-en of Olcl Testament
times had the gift of prophecy. The
gift of Deborah is foe that reason all
the more remarkable. The people be-
lieved her to be inspired to declare to.
them the will of God, and gave her,
therefore, the rank and authority of a
judge. Her home was not far north
of Jerusalem between Mullah and
Bethel in Mount Ephraim. Evidently
the anaanite'oppression was felt even
there, though so far to the south.
Barak was a man of time tribe of
Naphtali, whose home was a few miles
northwest of the Lake of Huleh. His
name in Hebrew means "Lightning,"
and may represene his character, bold
and swift to strike.- Deborah ha
heard of his fame and had chosen him
as commander of the forces she de-
termined to raise against the oppres-
sor. he bids him draw toward Mount
Tabor ten thousand men of his own
tribe and the closely -related tribe of
Zebulun. Of these men he would be
the recognized and accepted leader.
It is the Lord's command and. Barak
obeys, but he makes one condition. If
thou, wilt pro with me, he said to De-
borah, then I will go. Deborah re-
plied, Ilwill surely ;;o with thee. Then
with - a touch of humor, chiding the
dhieftain's dependence open her, she
added that the honor of the enterprise
would go to a woman (see 5: $4-27).
Barak knew very well that the pres-
ence of such a woman as Deborah in
the army would inspire courage. With
such a faith they.would be invincible.
Men of the other tribes were called
and some came willingly, others hesi-
tated, or refused Deborah's rallying
cry was, To the help of the Lord, to
the 'help of the Lord, against the
mighty, 5: 23. Heber the Kenite is
mentioned here apparently in order to
explain why be bad pitched his tent
so far north, altbough the home of his
people was in the south. It was his
wife whose conragec.ns but inhospit-
able act won her such high praise in
Deborah's, song of victory, 5: 24-27.

Dish -:s for Warm
Weather
During the hot weather the prob-
lem of Trow to use up left -overs be-
comes important. If these ai'e allowed
to remain beside fresh foods they will
soon contaminate them. For this rea-.
son housekeepers should examine the'
larder every morning and plan how
1 these food remains are to he incorpor
ated in the menu.
Scraps of porridge, bread, and so on
may be used for thickening brown
soups. Boil the scraps in the soup,
then pass through a coarse strainer.
Any kind of cold meat may be trans-
formed into delicious timbales, patties,
or 'cutlets; and scraps from a joint
may be passed through a mincer (or
cut into very small pieces with a
knife) and stirred into breadcrumbs
which Have been moistened with stock.
Shape into flat cakes and fry a golden
brown in fat from which a faint blue
smoke is rising.
The remains ' of mashed potatoes
may be incorporated with other left-
oves'•yegetables, seasoned, and fried a
nice brown.
There are many ways of utilizing
stale bread. If tbere is a large ac-
cumulation, spread thinly with butter
or good margarine, arrange in a pie -
dish containing milk and a well -beaten
egg, and bake in a moderate oven for
an hour or so.
It despite all precautions better
should become rancid, it may be re-
stored to its original freshness in the
following manner: Break into small
pieces and place en a bowl containing
fresh milk. Leave for an hour or so,
then drain off the milk, wash in cold
salted water, and form into its former
balk.
Three Ways With Peas
Shell and boil the peas with a sprig
of mint until tender; hard -boil as

Canada Can Teach
France a Lesson?
Paris—There is at least one thing
according to a writer in Paris -Midi,
which France can learn from Canada.
One of these is how to house a par-
liament. If only the Chamber of
Deputies could be transported from
the Palais Bourbon to the Grand
Petals, thinks this Parisian, and thus
conduct its deliberations is spacious,
0119 anti cheerful surroundings, as
does the House of Commons at Ot-
tawa, many discourteous speeches
and nsany ill-considered votes would
be avoiclel. But these is at least
one thing which Canada can learn,
and apparently is learning, from
Franco, incl that is the importance of
holding world expositions, The
great exhibition which is being plan-
ned for Vancouver in 1936 to promote
friendly relations between America
and the Far East, seems to the writer
in Paris-llidi to have been at least
in part inspired by the extensive pre-
parations which are being made for
the international Overseas Exposition
to be held in Paris in 1931.

Prisoners Govern
Selves in Cuba
Isle of Pines, Cuba—The "presidio
modelo" or model prison here is well
named. Many wardens and prison
boards in the United States could
well afford to see how Cuba maintains
this prison for 2,800 Dien,
The five buildings housing these
men are of unique construction, cir-
cular in design. Eacb cell opens
into a. court and the air is always
fresh and pine as a large window al-
lows the sunlight' in each cell some-
time diming the day. : Modern sani-
tary facilities, a cot and chair are the
furnishings in each Dell, which con-
tains only
on-tains.:only :one man; •
No guards are found Melee the
buildings. The prisoners go.vei'n
themselves. Whenever a prieener
breaks a rule, an investigator is seise'
ed by the prisoners from among Om -
selves to investigate and report to
a jury of five prisoners, who try the
case aria report to the warden, Cap-
tain Costello.
A wail about three feet high sur
rounds the prison. If any prisoner
attempts to escapehe is shot without
warning.
There is no pampering nor Ari-
soners' aid societies.' A school is.
maintained, but attendance is not
compulsory. .Theprisoners make all
of their own clotbes and shoes, raise
all foodstuffs and build additional sec-
tions as needed.
It costs the government 29 cents a
day to feed each prisoner, Break-
fast at 5 a,m. consists of bread and
coffee. The mid-day meal at 11
usually contains one fresh vegetable,
a thick porridge, bread and coffee.
Supper is about the same with meat
substituted for the porridge. The
whole atmosphere of this 'prison is
more like a training school than a
prison.
The chic femininity and girlish
prettiness of this yellow and green
printed rayon crepe will instantly
appeal to the sophisticated miss of 1,
10, 12 and 14 years.
The flaring skirt shows soft gather-
ing at front. and slight dipping at
either side. A crushed girdle marks
the normal waistline and ties in
youthful bow at side.
The simple bodice is sleeveless. The
eapelet collar of plain yellow crepe is
most unusual, opened at front display-
ing round neckline An applied band
of the printed crepe provides smart
trim.
Style No. 3360 is very effective for
parties made of pale blue georgette,
crepe with collar finished with picot
edge.
Printed batiste, dimity, voile, tub
silks and printed lawn make lip
smartly.

Bad Smells Will
e Exterminat .d
se
Ons of the most offensive things on
earth is a bad smell. It pollutes the
air. makes everybody feel unhealthy,
and spreads its miasmic influence
uv r everything. Through the art-
ful aid of science, however, we are
now promised relief from evil odours.
The head of the Department of
Psychology in Colgate University
forecasts an era of meet smells. It
seems that a discovery has been
made whereby two bad melts are
combined and make one good small.
This is achieved by employing what
is called an industrial aromatic,
which is in itself an unpleasant odour
but which, when combined with, say,
the aroma of rotten eggs, produces
an atmosphere comparable to that of
white lilac drenched with Drain.
There ought to be a very large and
immediate market for such industrial
aromatics. They could be put to use
effectively in theatres, in automobiles,
In school rooms, in almost every place
where people are herded together In
numbers. On trains they would be
a most welcome adjunct to enjoyable
travel. Those who live in the neigh-
borhood of incinerators or slaughter•
houses would have a permanent 'lee
for them, and the garbage eollectoi's'
job'couldbe made almost paradisiacal.
Best of all, mankind need no longer
go in fear of the beautiful but loath-
some•odored skunk. It is truly a
white lilac drenched with rain.
Paris Will Have
Bee Hives on b$alctrni^: 7
An enterprising apiculturist is dc•
ing all in his power to make beekeep-
ing a City man's pastime or even an
urban occupation. In the BOulevaa1
Barbee, Paris, France, he has install-
ed a kiosk where not only honey,.
but the bees which make it, can be
purchased. At present, most of his
customers are from the suburb%
where apiculture appears to be in
vogue. But be looks forward to the
clay when city dwe.lers will begin
installing beehives on their balconies.
A journalist has given blur some en-
couragement by pointing out that the
bee is one of the few animals which
landlords have not banned from Paris
flats, Soon every man may own his
own honey factory: As if It antici-
pation of this deveicpment, the Mar-
quis d'Hautepoule in 1860 established
a course in apiculture which is still
given each year in the Luxembourg
gardens.
WORRY
Ob, worry, worry! You are respon,
sible for more grey hairs and wrinkles
than age. You have penciled more
brows with tell-tale lines than years
have ever thought of doing. Do your
duty. Grasp your end of the line and
pull. Accomplish all you can, and •
never fret. When Providence sees
such a fellow on the road, Providence
Is sure to harness up and meet him

riage. Sure as fire is fire and frost
is frost Heaven helps the brave and
pile stumbling biotite in the way of
the cowardly -hearted who complain
over nothing.
