Home life is the same the world • over, It means the living together of members of tamitles, each home a small world in itself. A mother, after bringing up a large family; said after visiting them in their respective homes, ' "Although they ,are all my children, each home Is as different as can be. I don't see where they alt came Prom and why their hothes are not more alike, when they were all brought up under the same roof," Yet there is a similarity. The, stamp of the teachings and lives of the parents is indelibly marked on. the future lives of their children in a more or less degree. In the home are taught the first ways to work, how to do things eitiici• ently and well. 11 one can also secure, inspiration it is surely a haven from which much good will come, It is the place where the best as well as the worst is seen, where toler- ance and unselfishness make for the happy home and where thoughtless- ness and unkindness make for the uu- happy home. Naturally because of the closeness and iutimacies of home life, controversies wilt arise. "Tell me what you quarrel about and I wilt tell you what you are," was the -pointed title of an excellent magazine article. Then we mothers must make the home beautiful and comfortable for our own. We should study color. -to have the rooms restful and harmoni- ous, study foods and their values to keep the body healthy and study home economics in all its phases to make it truly successful. One enters one house where all may be beautiful but it lacks the atmosphere of home. In another is immediately imparted to one the friendly warm atmosphere of the perfect home where joy and love reign. supreme. It is here the young must be taught. the first great lessons of Iife under the first hand of the ones who love then the hest, and it surely d.epends on the kind of homes we give our children as to the klud of citizens our boys and girls will become. Great characters conte from great homes, and It is what takes pace be- hind the closed door in the secrecy of family life that builds the nation to greatness 'more surely than alt other things put together, governments, busineaa life, or industries, for it is from telemeter that good citizenship grows. Religion is the first necessity in the making, of that character since religion is tae great father of all that le good. Ventilation and Warmth Very anon these bright, warm aut. umn days will make way for the more sombre shades and chill of late fall.' Furs and heavy coats are brought out after, their long rest in their moth; bags;' they are examined and brushed and their cosy warmth feele good, The' furnace, long since blackand cold, is sought to cheer the rooms with heat. It is well to remember the import- ance of having sufficient moisture in the closed up rooms; artificial' beating needs artificial moisture to keep the rooms right. This can be done• by having water pans attached to the,ra- diators or on, or near the hot air regis- ters, as well as keeping the furnace water pans filled, The singing of the. tea kettle as i1 sends forth its steam might well keep up its song, at the same time giving off steady curling streams of moisture. Dry air is hard on the nose, throat. and lungs, and it is a fact that one feels comfortable in a much lower temperature if there is proper humidity in a heated room. A quick change of air every few hours by opening the windows for a few minutes is also a good practice and it is surprising how quickly the fresh air will warm up again and one feels a new sense of comfort, because of, the oxygen admit- ted.

Chlidren's Earnings Children like to be given an oppor- tunity to stake a ilttle money. If there le no chalice for them to sell flowers, magazines, papers or any other article pay them for helping in the garden, around the house, with the dishes or cooking. A flat rate of so much per -tour agreed upon by the children is a good idea. Summer Squeaks Many doors and hinges develop squeaks In summer. It is a good plan to thoroughly oil mechanical devices about the house regularly. Too hot weather dries out oil very fast and lack of alt ruins the best machine. Steam-Coo/ed Engine Tested in British Diane Condenser Smaller Than Ra- diator and Requires Less Water Than Older Type London.—Cooling airplane engines by the use of steam has been success- fully trial he e in secret flying tests artied out un:r:• the direction of the British Air Ministry. In addition to the usaai'rpeed rnd climbing tests, the trials included an elaborate demon- stration of aerial acrobatics, indieat- ing that the system is being studied with an eye to incorporating it in military planes. Water-cooled airplanes usually en- counter criticism because of the weight of the water which must he carried and the vulnerability of the plumbing and the large radiator in air fighting. After two year., of research the system has been developed to its final design by the Fairey Aviation ompany. A steam -cooled engine, it is reported, needs much less water than the old type water-cooled engine. The con- densers employed are smaller than the water radiator, and little damage would be done if the system should be pierced by a bullet, Tho puncture would result only in the escape of a thin wisp of steam. Similar damage to a water-cooled system would be fol- lowed by a rapid loss of water and the plane would soon be deprived of its motive power through heat seizure of the engine. The interest which the British Air Ministry has shown in this develop- ment and other recent aircraft innova- tions indicates a new trend period. In a surprise raid the dreadnaughts were struck eight out of ;seventeen times by bombs launched from air- planes.

"Indeed, I forgot all about the telephone, Maggie," said Mrs. Martin; "Instead of worry- Mg, orrytag, I will bo listening for your call. it really Ie takes the- heartbreak out of saying good-bye, now that we can talk to one another so easily by tele- phone?' The telephone' calls were made as promised, and Mrs. Martin's sister was so impressed with the courtesy of the Bell Telephone operator at the big city terminus that she wrote the station master, saying in part; "I was passing through — with my two children, and had occasion to use the telephone. The Young lady on duty, was so courteous and nice to me. Nothing seemed to be a trouble, and she not only took my message but directed me to the stores during my wait. Altogether, 1 had a most de, iightful journey, due largely to the kindly assistance of the telephone operator." Sunday School Lesson November 2.

ANALYSIS I. A GREAT CONFESSION, Mark 8: 27-21. II. A GREAT DENIAL, Luke 22: 31-34; John 18: 25-27. III. A GREAT LOVE, John 21: 15-17. INTRODUCTION ,Sino Peter ap- pears in the Gospel according to Mark first of all as a fisherman with his brother Andrew, at the sea of Galilee, casting a net in the sea. Jesus called them to follow him and they left the nets and followed. It is quite evident from this story that they had known Jesus before and had listened to his teaching. They were, therefore in souse measure prepared for the call to full discipleship. This harmonizes with the story told in the Gospel oI John, according to which Andrew was a disciple of John the Baptist to whom John pointed out Jesus, calling him "the Son of God." : Andrew then fol- lowed Jesus and brought to him also his brother Peter, John 1: 85-42. They had apparently been disciples of Jesus for a time during his early ministry, had then returned to their home in Capernauin, and were now called to be permanently with him. In Mark's list of disciples Peter is given first place (3: 13-19), as also on Matthew (10: 2-5) and Luke, 0: 12-10, He was one of the 'hose, Peter, James and John, who seem to have formed an inner circle about the Master, and whom he brought into a closer intim- acy with himself. I. A GREAT CONFESSION, Mark 8: 27-29. It was well on in the second year of Jesus' ministry in Galilee that he came with his disciples "into the vil- lage of Caesarea Phillipa," on the southern slopes of Mount Hermon. MUTT AND JEFF— By BUD FISHER 4. This is where the modern town of Blies now stands and is a place of great natural beauty situated more than a thousand feet above the level of the sea. Here Jesus 'appears m have sought retirement' and opportun- ity for closer conversation with his disciples. A crisis in his 'ministry was approaching. Believing that he was the Messirh, the Kin,;, the Sa- viour, predicted by the prophets and long looked for by the people, he knew that the public announcemen, of this fact coLld not be much longer delayed. He had been preaching the coming of the kingdom of God. Now he must declare himself as King. Would the people accept him? Would the multi- tudes who had been thronging about him acknowledge him as King and Lord? Could he rely upon his little band of disciples to stand by him? Knowing now full welethat the malice of his enemies would not stop short of his death, he must have desired to know how such an announcement would affect their minds. The an- nouncement, he felt, must be made in order that the ?.finds of his disciples might be prepared for such a tragedy and that they might be assured that this was not the end. The answer of the disciples -to Jesus' first question (i. 27) reveals to us something of what was being said in the towns and villages of Galilee about him by those who had listened' to his teaching. One of the great prophets of a former age had come to life again, they said, or it was John the Baptist escaped from Herod's prison, and not really dead as had been reported. But the answer of Peter to his second question. (v. 29) must have greatly pleased him. Peter, believing his be- loved Master to be indeed the prom- ised King and Saviour, the Messiah, the Christ, speaking for all the dis- ciples, made his great confession-- "Thou are the Christ" First of that great company of confessors, who would through the coining centuries believe and declare their faith in hint, Jesus saw in Peter the living rode upon which his church, would be built (compare Enh. 2: 20.22) So it has ever been, The strength of the church has always lain 10 the steadfast faith of believing souls instructed by the Spirit of. God and confessing Christ before the world. II. A GREAT DENIAL, Luke 22:31-34; John 18: 25-27. All four Gospels tell of Peter's de - nial, Like the other disciples he had fr.rl from the scene of the arrest of Jesus in Gethsemane. But his flight was only for the moment. John tells us that Peter and another disciple fol- lowed Jesus, 18: 15-18. One an im- agine the state of mind into which they had fallen. Peter was no coward. In the garden he had drawn his sword 'had struck a blow in defence of his "taster, in spite of the fearful odds - hich were against lin. But Jesus had bidden him put up his sword, His whole being must have been aroused in flaming protest against what he saw—his Lord whom he had confessed now helpless in the power of his en- emies. If Peter could have led the band of disciples in battle for Jesus to attempt his rescue there would have been no denial. But unable to do any- thing, for the women+, only his faith failed. He denied his Lord. III. A GREAT LOVE, John 21: 15-17. The true disciple appear• again in Peter's reconciliation and forgiveness. His deep and abiding love for Jesus prevails. Itis final commission from the Lord is to be a shepl'erd of the flock of Christ. Echoes Echoes of Summer reach my heart to- day, Like mystic music, borne from the far- away; Elusive strafes like wind o'er waving wheat, Bird voices vibrant in the summer beat, Sweet' spectral music from days Mead and dear. Thin, phantom strains that but the heart can hear. Faintly the echoes come, then die away, For Summer is a dream of yesterday; No more she strays o'er field and hill and plain Where Autumn flaunts her robes of crimson stain; In vain we seek for Summer's robes of She's passed passed beyond the range of bit - man sight; And only echoes reach the heart to- day— Echoes of footsteps that have passed for aye. —Helen'.

"A new competitor is challenging the railroads, said Sir Henry to his international audience of traffic lead- ers, in reference to the airpine. "We will have to meet 'that by increased speed and with the safety facilities at our disposal. The time of land travel between London and Paris already compares measurably with that by air. At' the same time we are con- fronted with the necessity of snak- ing travel by rail more agreeable and comfortable by attention to proper heating and cooling, and progress along this 'line is rapidly being made, -'rain Requirements "Train travellers should have facili- ties reasonably equivalent to those provided by ocean liners when under- taking 'a journey across the contin- ent," declared Sir Henry. Shower baths, moving pictures, gymnasiums; are among the require- ments of this sort now being supplied by some transcontinental trains. Dealing with the function of the great railroad organization as a force for law, order and social well-being. Sir Henry pointed out that "by good will, sympathy, recognition of eco- nomic principles, by a desire to serve,. We, in the transportation industry, are making notable contributions to our respective countries, By com- pliance with the rules of our own groups, we encourage obedience to the laws of our countries."

Man's habits need cleaning up, says "Good Health" (Battle Creek, Mich.). We read: "Personal cleanliness, is for human beings a very recent acquisition. Moat lower animals keep themselves clean. Note- how meticulously tidy:, is the house cat: • "The cave man reveled ill dirt,and so did every European in the Middle Ages. The leather breeches and un- shorn sheepskin shirty worn alike by peasants, proprietors, and high -church officials, were never washed.

In some parts of Spain, two baths suffice for a lifetime, ono by the mid -wife, the other by tate undertaker. "The Finnish mother sews her chile dren up in the fall, and.provides for a change of clothes in the spring. The writer once found such a sewed -in child suffering front smallpox in a New York tenement. The mother re- fused to have the clothing removed be- cause she knew, the health officer would destroy it. "But we are beginning to cultivate more cleanly habits.:' "The wearime of underclothing which may be frequently changed, pro- tects our outer garments from soiling with body wastes; but our outer gar- ments, especially those of men, store up accumulations of germs and dirt from a great variety of sources. The dark colors conceal the uirt, whicli brushing and even the dry cleaners do not remove. "Women wear lighter colors and v'ashable fabrics and change often, and so their garments are cleaner. Women wear much less clothing than men, and so suffer much less from overheating, especially in warm wea- ther, a common cause of summer colds and sinusitis. Of course, the cold .' does not conte directly from: the over- heating. A cold, a sinusitis, is an acute infection, The germs are al- ready on the spot, but asleep, so to speak. Overheating and after -chilling lower the resistance arid awaken the germs to activity. "The heavy dark clothing worn by men is most uncleanly and unhygienic. Tlie universal excuse for darlr colors 's that light colors show dirt. That is d grod reason for choosing light colors. The dirt is there lie en it does not show. Dark shades are a camouflage for not only dirt but germ;, and dis- ease. "Dark. and heavy clothing not only accumulates dirt and germs but ex- cludes from the skin the beneficent solar rays, the greatest of all disinfec- tant ar.d vitalizing agents. Thin, or loosely woven, white fabrics permit the sun's rays to reach the surface of the body. "A Wren's dress reform movement is needed. White garments for both win- ter and summer, Porous fabrics that will permit contact of light and air with the body surfac and allow ema- nations from.the skin to escape and perspiration to dry quickly, ,and less clothing to burden the body and cause overheating and after -chilling. "The modern woman shocked the world by casting off nearly all her nether garments, but appears to have gained something of the same hardi- ness enjoyed by the barelegged High- landers of Scotland and the mountain- eers. of Greece. "Will the women allow their hus- bands 'and usbands'and brothers to dress as scant- ily as they do themselves? From a health standpoint it seems that the less clothes we wear the better."
