The, Early Riser These darkmornings who likes to get up at midnight? That is what, it feels like at 6 o'clock or .6.30 a.m„ and the old alarm clock dings, dings until ydu are justwide enough awake to realize how 'delightful the warm covers feel. They say the early bird catches the worm, but one likes to think while in semicoma state that the worm is also tuoked away under thehardground and won't venture out either in the cold and dark., Then there le that cold gray open window Where the wind is whistling around in gusts, What About. it? But all these thoughts, make it worse the longer you debate, so per- haps—and it really is the best way— you better spring out of bed without stopping to think about how cold it is and close down the window, for it must be done, After prodigious exercising one might even feel like smiling and come to the conclusion that it Sena so bad after all. Allowing your thoughts to turn to someone else peacefully snor- ing you remember how nice it was in bed and perhaps a little vindictive Mirth is mixed with the loud' call, even, get up! Why do you Ile in bed so long? Don't you know It is seven o'clock?" But atter the early breakfast is over there is a most satisfied feeling of having a full day ahead of you when the work planned canbe accomplished with time and thought. And isn't it a Most provoking feeling to come down an hour late, after which it takes all day just "catching up."

Twilight Hour Story—The Little Ghickles' New Mamma Chap. 8 'When these four Little, chickies found their mamma had left them and they were all alone in the world, as they weer frightened and they didn't they rooked around I can tell you they were frightened and they didn't something like you would feel if your mamma left you all alone down town or In a big city before you know the way home. Isn't it a good thiug that you know she never would Ieave you? Good mammas do everything—yes, juet everything, to. keep their little eerie aid boys safe and wars., don't they? Good mamma hens don't run away from their chickies either, but tarn tale one was a bad one, wasa't she? Well, when they grew frighten. ed they started to run. They didn't know where, but they ran on and on until they came to what they thought were a lot of trees. But they weren't really trees. We wouldn't think they were trees. But they were higher than the chicks, mucti higher, so high the little bails of thistle -down could easily bide in there. What the °tickles thought were trees was grass that hadn't been cut and grew so long that it would come up to about your tittle knees. They all got close together in there and began tofeel a little better. But soon the old wind blew them and whoof—he blew at them and they just had to run out again. Then the bigest tittle chick (let's give him a name. How would Jimmy be? Their mamma ran away before she named them, so we'll have to give them names, shall wt?) Well, Jimmy saw a big stone. It looked as big as a house to him, but he made a big jump and used his lit- tle wings too, and found himself on top of it. He looked all around and then called out very loudly: "Mamma, Mamma," only it sounded like this, "Peep -peep -peep," and do you know Mamma did hear him. But it wasn't Mamma Hen. It was the nice farmer lady lit the big house who heard him. It just happened she came out doors to get the eggs out of the big chickens' house where all the older chickens were. The farmer lady could •hardly be - 1 Neve her ears when site heard little Jimmy calling. She stopped and lis- tened, then said, "Do I hear a little chicken?" Then listened again, Sure .enough, it was Jimmy calling again louder and louder than before. Then she saw him on the big stone. She weat over to him ever so carefully and then she saw the others too, but as soon as they saw her Uiey ran away in the grass, but Jimmy couldn't get down quite so fast as he was afraid of this big Iady, for she was even big- ger than Billy when he saw them in the barn. But she came on making a nice soft noise. Really it was a little bit like his own Mamma. "Come •chieir, chick, chick," she said. ley this time he managed to get oil the stone and ran a little, then waited till she nearly caught up to him, but when she got near he was afraid again and ran 01.11L little farther. But over near the corner of the house she caught him. Ooh--oolt—he fluttered and even lumped a little, but her hands were so nice and warm. Even then he looked at her sharply out of his little blank eyes to see what she would do, but she held him in her cupped hands so warm and gently he could hardly be- lieve he was so comfortable and very soon snuggled down as easy as could be. Then she heard the others crying in tee grass, for the cold wind would not leave them alone, and she went over and caught each little baby until S17.0 had them all close together in her two hands, Next Week—"The Little Chickens' New Home!'

Golden Text—In that he himself hath suf fered being "tempted,' he is to suc- cour them that are tempted. -11e - brews 2; 8. The Temptation narrative is really part of the Baptism story, though Luke has inserted the genealogy of Jesus between the two events. Pictures of the Baptism -which ere familiar to us suggest some sudden light in the. sky and a mysterious thundering voice from heaven, but that seems to be far. from the Evangelist's meaning. The Baptizin of Jesus, he tells us in his pictorial Jewish- way, was for him the occasion of a new t:id profound religious experiences the voice from Leaven spoke to Jesus and to Jesus aloe. We are not able s,o enter into the soul of Jesus as to under- stand exactly the nature of this ex- perience. Tho early Chrietlans thought of it as being, like their own baptismal experience, a receiving . d the holy Spirit; in Jesus' case it seems to have been au experience which sent him forth upon his public ministry. Some thirty years he had lived quietly in Nazareth, attracting no public atten- tion to himself, but now the word of God came to him, bidding him conte out before the people. It has often been supposed that Jesus, at his Bale. tism, first realized that he was the unique Son of God, or that he was Messiah; but this is quite. uncertain, The Temptation is intimately connect- ed with the Baptisan, because we are told that the same Spirit, which des- cended upon him at his baptism, also. drove him into the wilderness. In order to understood the Tempta- tion story we must recognize what kind of a story it is. -Children often ask us whether the tale, we are telling them is true; :their question is some- times difficult to answer. For in- stance, is the "Pilgrim's Progress" a true story? Surely it is one of the truest of true stories, but, of course, it is not literally true; there is no lit- eraI castle of Giant Despair, no literal Apollyon to straddle across our way. In what sense exactly are ete to say that the Temptation narrative is a true story? We involve ourselves in very grave perplexities if we try lo maintain that it is literally true. Can we, for instance, say that the Spirit of God literally drives any one to be tempted by the devil?' Or how are we to picture the devil? Or is there any place on a mountain, or in the air, front which literally all the kingdoms of the earth can be seen at once? Ob- viously the story was told when men believed the world to be flat. But we misunderstand the story if we get ourselves into these difficulties. If a friend should tell us that he was at one time greatly tempted to be dis- honest, and that for a week he had to fight the devil, we should perfectly understand him: we should never take his words literally, and ask him whe- ther he fought with a sward ora gun. So here we shall miss the real' mean- ing eaning of the story, and got involved in useless discussions if we do not tate it spiritually and interpret it, as best we can, of Jesus' inward experience of temptation. Many interpretations of the Temp- tations have been offered, and we can. never be sure that we have caught the whole meaning of them. It seems clear, however, that Jesus went away itte solitude in order to think out the implications of his baptismal exper- ience; hence, the repeated phrase, If thou be the Son of God," The temptation to make stones into bread might be either of two things; it might be the temptation to do pri- vate miracles for his own comfort and advantage, or it might be to attain his Messiaship, his kingship, by dealing first with economic problems. The Romans ]mew well that any ruler could win popularity if he would give the people `breach and circuses" see r nothing. The temptation to win world -empire by worshipping the devil suggests that Ire was tempted to use worldly means to achieve spiritual results. Propa- ganda, war, party -spirit, bribes, have too often been used by Christians to serve the cause of the church, but Jesus would not bribe nor cajole, nor force men into the kingdom; they roust enter with their eyes open, be- cause they understand and love. The Jews demanded of him some "sign from heaven," some miraculous proof of his claims, but if they would not believe Moses and the prophets (Luke 16; 31), if they were not able to judge of the authority of John (Mark 11: 27-33), he would not cast himself down from the Temple, nor do any such miracle to prove his claims.

It is surprising how quick- ly the lining of a coat gets soiled just through contact with even one soiled dress, and once the lining of a coat is soiled, even clean dresses will become dingy from it. One woman who takes very good care of her clothes keeps a 'little cieaning fluid in the house for extra cleaning of collars and cuffs, guimps, vests, and sleeveless blouses. These entailer pieces she cleans herself, Then when;a new coat or freshly lined coat is to be brought into service, all the dresses to be worn under it are. rounded up and given their annual, semi-annual, or perhaps quarterly trip to the cleaners. It is cheaper, she considers, to have the cleaning of all dresses done at this particular time than to payfor clean- ing a whole coat' just because one or two soiled dresses were worn with it, As in a race, the coat and dresses all start off together, n 3 Italian Cities Near Million Ronne.—Three Italian cities—Naples, Milan and •Rome—are racing for the million popuiation Meek.

Policy. Is Urged Ayiator of this Gl Canadian Listeners -in Dele- Formeral TtOr gates Wait on Federal ' Minister Ottawa—A national radio broad- casting company, sponsored by the Federal Government, which would own, operate and control a number of powerful broadcasting stations, thro- ughout the Dominion, was the desire of the vast majority of the radidetwn-' ers in this country, a delegation from tine Canadian Radio League inform- eel Hon. Alfred Dutanloau, Minister of Marine, here on Jan, 9th. 'Such a company should be adminis- tared by a. directorate of 12 persons, voluntarily employed, who `would be drawn from. industrial, educational, amusement and other circles, itwas elated: Distributed throughout Can- ada, according to the representations of. the Radio League, would be six 50 -kilowatt broadcasting stations that would reach into every section of the Dominion, thus' neutralizing to some extent the virtual monopoly 'enjoyed by the :higher -powered and. more numerous stations at present operate ing' in the United States. ,, For revenue purposes, the com- pany should, in the opinion of the delegation, handle indirect advertis- ing; but direct advertising was dis- approved by the Radio League. The delegates urged upon Mr. Duranlaau that the 'Government, take- affirmative action upon the report of the Aird Commission. Mr,. Deranleau assured .them that the Government had ,been -studying 'this matter, appreciating the imporf- ance of the problem and being resolv- ed to protect Canada from the effects of foreign advertising and foreign propaganda. Stock Betterment Urged • n Farmers Most Vital Problems Faced by Dairy industry Today, Says Commissioner Cornwall.— Periodical testing of herds and direct .efforts at improve- ment of stock are the most important questions before Canadian dairy farmers' today, sair Dr. J. A. Ruddick, Dominion Dairy Commissioner, in a .address before the annual convention of the Dairymen's Association of Easton' Ontario. Farmers were feeling the Pinch of low prices, but,be said, the average farmer "is losing very nearly, if not quite, as . much every year by his failure to give attention to this mat- ter as he .is through the drop in. values at the present time.' After explaining that in New Zea- land tate group testing system had so improved the quality of cattle that the average annual yield of butter fat has increased from 175 to 220 pounds for each cow, Dr. Ruddick said. "The average annual yield of milk per cow in Canada is now .thought to be about 4,500 pounds, or the equiva- lent of just about 400 pounds of cheese.- If this geld were increased by 30 per cent., which is easily pos- sible, it would be equal to an in- crease ncrease ,of 21,e, cents a pound on the original 400 pounds of cheese at 15 cents a pound,: after allowing for the cost of manufacture." From reports already received, the Commissioner estimated butter pro- duction in 1930 was probably 10,000,- 000 pounds higher than in 1929, which in turn had been 6,000,000 pounds greater than in 1918. If the estimate were justified by complete returns, 1930 would show the greatest in- crease ncrease in` butter production since 1914.

"The pilot of the tranport line to- day," Mr. Frye explains, "is not the dashing, .carefree young fellow paint- ed by the poster artists. He is a serious minded chap who realize:. his • responsibilities and accepts the -dis- cipline as..a' necessity. He looks upon flying as a necessity and not as a career in commercialized romance- .

"He is paid a rather handsome salary to transport passengers and the malls and there are very strict rules' as to how he shalt fly these loads- He is under much the same type - of discipline that controls the locomotive engineer. 'He receive his order's, acts only on proper authority, observes—definite right-of-way signals. Very little is left to his individual judgment." The pilot's handbook of Mr.-Frye's line throws additional • light' on the manner in which the former "free- dom of the air" enjoyed by pilots has been curbed since they took over transport planes. The first item which strikes the reader is the ob- solute prohibition against . "side slips, "fish tailings," "skids," "spirals" and other. types of manoeu- vet's which, although perfectly safe,. have no place in the itinerary of the air traveler. "No bank exceeding 30 degrees will be permitted," the rule reads, "and every turn must he perfect.' Execu- tion of uhuecessary maneuvers will be sufficient cause for dismissal. Ruler Poli'owed to Letter Even when the pilot is in Hight he is under the control of officials of the operating department, who are in constant contact with the pilot by means of two-way radio. Pilots are not permitted to take off without proper signals front airport officials and, having taken off, they are not permitted to land without similar signals, except in extreme emer- gencies. Hand and flag signals con- trol the movement of all planes in daylight hours and in night opera- tions light and flare signals are tine means of transmitting orders tt, pilots at the airports. Pilots are not permitted to fly "blind" through cloud or fog banks unless it is known in advance tCat the airport at their destination is free of fog, and when flying "blind" pilots must maintain a constant corn municatiou with the controlling radio ground station. The use of. the radio communication system is Mt- ited to business commnnicatiun and pilots are not permitted to carry on private conversations with gronad stations or with ether pilots, Exercise Suits The exercise suit bas changed Prem rite fnriiter middy blouse and bloomer outfit' to a variety of youthful and loose gymnasium suits. The black vel- vet shouts interlined with white mus- lin worn with the boyish sills artist blouse divides honors with a costume that looks like a child's dress. This suit is of broadcloth with a youthful round neck, fitted waist and Baring skirt, and is accompanied by separate bloomers of broadcloth. The sults can be made in vivacious shades at rose, delft-bine:and canary or in dark blues and blacks. Tweed Continues to be A Sporting Favorite Tweed remains a sporting favorite. And it is apparent that the majority of well-dressed women realize that ono takes no chance when placing sartorial bets on tweed for it is fashionably authorized for both town a,nd country. And so we are safe in advising the consideration of such frocks as those of knitted tweed that are being shown today: One such is of an interesting shade of blue with suede in a darker shadeof blue used astrimming for the neck, the hovel 'sleeves and for covering the buttons.
