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, ,Tudges 5: 6-8.. I. THE OPPRESSION, 4: 1-8.

It is a woillc of real genius breathing a fine spirit of patriotic fervor and confident faith. A well- known English essayist calls it "the greatest war song of any age or na- 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 policy pursues by members of the League.

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. IlJ. THE VICTORY, 4: 13.15. Barak assembled his men upon Mount.

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.

The eyes should be clear (not dull and glazed), and the gills a bright red. The fish should be stiff, plump and firm.

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.

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.
