INTectimor et -Hosea, like Amos,
lived in the eighth century B.C., and
his messages also were addressed to
the people of the northern kingdom
of Israel, Re was somewhat later
than Antos, and the period of trouble;
which that prophet foresaw was al -1
ready beginning when his prophetic
messages were delivered, Evidences
uf this can he seen in several passages
(as fr example, 4:1-2; 5:2, 13;7;1,
7-9; 12:1). His style is not simple
and clear like 'that of Amos, but is
broken, fragmentary, disjointed, yet
it .presents here and there passages
of greet power and beauty, which lend
themselves to quotation (see 2:19-20;'
4:9, 17 6:1-3, 4-6; 3:7; 13:14).
While the appeal' of Amos is based
upon the fundamental laws of justice
and righteousness, Hosea dwells more
upon the love of God which it (iiletaded
and grieved by the sins of his people.
In chaps. 1-3, Israel is compared to
an unfaithful wife whe abandons her
husband and goes after e her lovers.
But Jehovah follows his people with
changeless love and ..colt's to win theist
bade from their idols to himself. In
chap. 11, he is the indulgent Father
whose son, tenderly cared for in
-eWldhood, has forsaken him when
grown to be a man.
I. APPEAL AND WARNING, chap. 6.
Verses 1-0 are the prophet's appeal;
to his fellow countrymen to join him
in penitent confession and return to
the Lord. It is a great mistake to
treat them, as some recent writers do,
as the insinc:rc' and shallow repent-
anee'uf Chase who have not taken
seriously the p u h'ts admonition,
and have net reoognieeci either the
gravity of their offenses a" the n ieht
of the wrath of God, The words are

rere. Ile annus tie lust judgments of

Ann.- te1-15; I r 1:18; 55:6-7;
Psalm el 1 . Tho Christian Fathers
and sena. ccwlern is ritrrs understood
vete '' to predict the resurrection of
Jets Christ (c.f. 1 Cor. 15:4), but
the teettext disproven this.
In strong contrast the following'
vet 1111) present the fickleness
and waywardness of Israel there call-
ed by ties name of its largest tribe,
Ephraim). The Lord had rebuked
their sins by the stent teaching of his
pre:due , and had ticarly r vcalsd to
them hie will (read "My judgments,"
v. 51.:hewing them that mercy (that
is, "kinret, es' iu its widest sense), and
the knowledge (or recognition), of
God in all the relationships of life,
were what God required of theist (c.f.
1 Sant. 15:2'e), but they had not pro-
fited by that teaching. Judah, too, is;
to suffer for sins of the sante char-
acter, but for her there will be res-
torntion, Verse 11 is, apparently,
added by a later hand.
II. T 11 Iovg AND TIRE PATIENCE OF
Got), chap. 11.
Ver;ee 1-4 may he paraphrased as
follows. basing a slight correction of
the text en the ancient Greek trans-
lations (the Lit.):
version, the Lord compares himself to
n humane driver of oxen who eases
the yoke and lays food before the
laboring beasts. The word "not" in
v. 5, must be omitted (as in the Sep-
tuagint). The people of Israel shall
again be exiles he Egypt, and those
n ho t emain in their own land shall
When l.rael was young then I loved
him,
And out of Egypt called my son.
But even as I called them they went
their way,
Turning frim me they offered sacrifice
to the Beals,
And burnt incense to idols,
Yet it was I taught Ephraim to walk
Taking there upon mine arms,
But they knew not that it was I who
careen for them.
With cord., of human :kindness I drew
them,
'With bonds of love.
The prophet thus dwells upon the
early years of Israel's life, when the
Lord led the people out of Egyptian
bondage and established them in the
land promised to their fathers, and
yet they had turned from him to
Canaanite idols. The latter part of
, verse 4 is hard to understand, Accord -
lug to the rendering in the English
be subject to Assyria. The word ren-
dered "bars" (v. 6), should, perhaps,
be.."boasters" (as in .Jer. 50:36).
Verses 8, 9 reveal the constancy
and depth of the divine love.' How
can the Loa5 give over his beloved
and chosen people to destruction, as
the cities of the plain (Gen, chap. 19;
Deut. 2923)? There is now •a sud-
den change of these, and vs. 10, 11
predict the return of the exiles' from
Egypt and Assyria in some brighter
day of the future when the Lard shall
go before and prepare the way. Verse
12 properly belongs to the following
chapter.
M. EXHORTATXON. AND PROMISE, chap.
14.
After the terrible doom pronounced
upon, Israel in chap. 18, it is not easy
to understand the words of hope and
promise in this chapter.'The'proph-
ets seem to have regarded their pre-
dictions, whether of good or evil, as
conditional upon the <behavior of the
people. There was always hopefor
the penitent 'man 0,. nation (see Jer.
18:1-12). The words of confession
will be as an acceptable sacrifice upon
God's altar, v. 2. No more will Israel
rely upon Asshur (that is, Assyria),
or upon Egypt (whence came the
horses). No more will her people seek
false gods, but rather him in whom
the fatherless findeth mercy. There
follow the gracious promises of God
to the repentant people, of healing,
and refreshment, and growth, and
fruitage.

Gay Ensembles of Accessor es
Set Of Hat, Collar` and Han
Boutonniere
An engaging example. of the en-
ealnble idea is the little set of hat,
cellar and handbag ,introduced by a
Paris nlfllin•er. The first of these en-
sennbles consisted of a hat in one of
the toque er snail walking shapes,
made of felt or cloth. The collar,
which was intended to take the place
of a fur piece, was made in the ,shape
of a high choker to fasten at one side
with . buttons or with one end drawn
through a slit. to I:eep it a very close
fit. his oras and in the present var-
iant is a chic outfit that makes for
comfort and may suitably be worn
with any tailored frock or suit, The
sat, as it is known in Paris, is made
of the same material with frame of
antique slyer tortoiseshell or any of
the new metals, •
The latest accessory ensemble is a
much more, stylish affair, being made
of lame, silver or gold. For this one
of the new turban shapes is used,
making a, hat that may be worn for
formal afternoon or dinner ata res-
taurant. The ,design .is not especially

aro rather small, rather snug in fit,
and it is considered smart to add one
of the new boutonnieres or flowers
to the faetening, always at one side
toward the,•. back of the necks The.
bags, envelope purses and vanity
cases designed to complete the en -
gamble are made of gold or silver
cloth with a delicate ornamental
frame. The clasp and 'sometimes the
tire top of these bags Etre finely chas-
ed, studded with synthetic. stones,
jade, agate, quartz, coral and all the
other pretty semi-precious stones.
The real Parisian boutonniere is a
wee cluster of budts in different har-
moniously assembled calors, These are
composed of all the Dresden Rowers'—
in blue, pink, yellow, mauve, with
touches of silver and gilt and little
green loaves to form a border, These
all havo a fantastic, frosty surface
that is very decorative. Glass flowers
made to imitate the natural blossoms
and precious atones as well, are as
finely =waived ; and put together as
if they were the sapphires, emeralds,
topaz and opals they so closely re-
semble. They have a decided charm,
aro very chlc and in the best places
very expensive. Nothing more poetic
in flower ornaments has been designed
than the single dogwood blossoms,
both pink and white,made of some
irridescent material - that resembles
mother-of-pearl.
Work For the
Middle -Aged
Why discrimination should be prao-.
toed by American employers against
men well on in years is a -thing which
(many find it hard to understand.
There may be force in the argument
that young men not only demand less
pay but work harder and are more
amenable to discipline. But if that is
the case, says The Manchester
Guardian, "there must surely be an
exceptional earnestness about Amer1-
can youth." Probably there is. Still,
lit is doubtful whether the superior
aggressiveness of youth ahvays com-
pensates for the steadiness and con-
tentment
ontentment of middle age, class for
class.
The dimensions of the problem are
not often discussed in precise termor
There would seem to be no statistical
justification for the popular belief
that the problem is growing more
serious with the growing stress and
strains of modern economic life. If
anything, the trend appears to be the
other way. According to the 1910
census, the men over 45 engaged in
gainful occupations constituted 85.9
per cent. of all mon in that age class.
In the 1920 census the proportion was
87 per cent. Employment opportuni-
ties for the middle-aged are apparent-
ly increasing. Incidentally, the 1920
census showed an employment ratio
of 97.2 per cent. for men between 25
' and 44 years of age and a ratio of
93.8 per cent. for men betweea 45 and
64 years. The difference of something
like 3,5 per Dent. is not big enough
to support the theory of modern
economists who would send the work -
or to the scrap ;reap after his first
youth is gone.
The increase, even if slight in-
crease, in the number of gainfully em-
ployed middle-aged, as shown in the
two censuses, may bo due primarily
to the increasing role of machinery in
industry. It is a commonplace that
to the machine Is due the extraordin-
ary increase in per capita produc-
tivity noted 1n recent years. It is a.
reasonable presumption that as labor-
saving devices replace muscle and
brawn fewer men aro compelled to
drop out of Lho working ranks for
physical causes. New York has be-
fore it the constant demonstration of.
how much the machine has done to
supplant bodily toil in building and
subway construction -
Where the middle-aged worker most
feels the handicap of his years is in
those occupations where machinery,
because of the uaturo of things,
counts least—the white-collar occupa-
tions. Particularly is this true in the
field of salesmanship, where initia-
tive, alertness and hard legwork
count for oro much. But this only
means that the wise employer will
know how to mobilize hie young mon

which is now being made at the ac-

worked is likely to provoke many con-
troversies regarding the events lead-
ing up to: her trial azul execution by

Interest has been added by the pro-
tests of the German press against
making the film as tending to cause
further friction between the Allies
and the former'onemy countries.

the eyes of the Belgians, perhaps
have allowed a large number of Bel-

plices to escape also.
Tho "I -would -not -tell -a -lie" attitude
assumed by the English nurse was a
noble stand for principle, but, accord-
ing to the view expressed by many
here, was less appreciated by the
children who were victims o.f.hor re-

With AWheels, and Wash-
ers Acting as Springs
Paris—Toe annual automobile eel -
on at the grand Patttis on the
Champs Blyetes lute produced more
than ever before a number of ex-
tromely Interesting new teatime fn'
automobile manufacture. For those'
who follow the progress made oaclt
year ip automobile conetruotion,
some of these outstanding points are '
recorded,
Ono car was especially unique. It
was fitted with an automatic, in-
finitely variable geareahange. It had,
besides, no front springs, each: wheel
being sprung independently by a
double series of rubber washers In al
cylindrical easing. The front axle,
of elliptical section, was pivoted on
the frame .at the center. This car's
headlights and front ,wings turned
with the wheel, 9hus much increas-
ing the - driver's visibility around cor-
nets,
' Car Without Axles.
bAnother car was unusual by reason
of its chassis elmpllfleation. The
chattels was made of .two quite
straight, main members of tubular sec-
tion. A, third tube contained the car-
dan shaft and acted as torque tube.
The car bad neither back nor front
axles, the wheels being independently
sprung by means of levers operating
oil sprlugs in the tubular members,
supplemented by oil checks. Two
live shafts carry the drive to the rear
wheels, and the result of. all this is
to leave an extremely clean-cut
chassis.,
One Moro French car offered a -
valuable contribution to the making
of cbassIs by putting up the engine,
block and other parts in aluminum.
On this car, as on several others
shown at. the salon, there was a steer-
ing gear on both of the front wheels,
giving a steadier drive to the ma-
chine.
This tendency toward a new *sus-
pension relieving the body fee the car
of road shocks was deemed br ex-
perts part and parcel of the t l-eee
automobile, although it would appose'
that it may be some years before it,
becomes general, With an Inde-
pendently sprung wheel, the effect
of a burst tire would' scarcely be no-
ticed, except for the noise.
Front -Wheel Drive, Low Body.
In three cases, automobile manu-
facturers incorporated this suspen-
sion with the fronto rlteell driver
Where the drive was continued
through the front wheels, independ-
ent steering for each wheel was the
rule. The cars with front -wheel drive
were low to the ground. With the
differentiai in front of the car, to
builder was allowed more latitude,
and the lower -built car adds another
factor for safer motoring.
The features described above are
regarded as being still in the experi-
mental stage, but marking the course
of automobile construction for the
immediate future. One observed,
however, a very obvious movement
toward the lower -hung car, the closed
car in preference to the open, and
the six -cylinder taking the plata of
Ilse Your, slowly, but gradually.
The exhibition is primarily for
French makers, but the American sec-
tions were more full than they have
previously .been, and one sensed

turers wore inereaaing their bid for

erican manufacturer to havo some-
thing ratfcer fine in order to compete
against French cars, for example.
The Americans appear to bo gaining
a foothold, but it is expensive work.
Showrooms and advertising cost
money when there seems little ceas-
ing back ie these initial years to cov-
er adequately the copt.
Italians Lead hi Luxury
The Itullan cars made a very good
showing in the expensive grades. For
sheer luxuriousness, there was !hardly
anything to touch therm, except? per-
haps, ens of the two English makes
shown. The German cars evidenced
careful engineering, but the average
opinion disputed the grace of their
body designs.
The chief British make revealed a
rather unique engine suspension fit -
tad with a patent clamping device
which did away with vibration at low
speedo. The drive was also taken
to a fully floating type rear axle ar-
ranged in suck a way that the driving
shafts carried no loan other than the !
drive, The car had six brakeee
