Norman Robertson has been ap-

tawa. He is temporary successor
to the late Dr. 0. D, Skelton.
Bible Language
There are scores of everyday
Biblical phrases, such "the pa-
tience of Job," and "a whited
sepulchre." We are always using
Biblical phrases, such as "Dust
and ashes," "the Good Shepherd,"
"A still, small voice," "prodigal
son," "Lot's wife," and "A cloud
no bigger than a man's hand."
When we refer to a "proverb," a
"psalm," or an "exodus," we still
lean on the Bible. It is again so
when we call a man a "Jere-
miah," or a "Job," or write an
"epistle" in which is made a
startling "revelation." •
Parked. Body
In Denver, Colo., though police
twice chalked a car for overpark-
ing, they paid no attention to it
"becausewe had a bigger job on
hand — the solving of (Dewitt)
Chandler's murder." Four days
later, after repeated calls from
neighboring businessmen,, they in-
vestigated, found it was Chand-
ler's car. Inside, undisturbed for
four days, was Chandler's body.

The causes of inability to take

It is the duty of all women to
study in order to understand ques-
tions pertaining to the national
life, Miss idola Saint Jean. told
members of the Frances Willard
W.C.T.U., Montreal, in an address
in that city last week. Among such
questions the causes of war should
be analyzed, she said, stressing
the need for a country to base its
code on respect for human life and
personality.
MAKE SOCIETY "MORE HUMAN"
ignorance and selfishness, she
held, is the cause of much of the
suffering in economic life, which -
needed to be reconstructed so that
solidarity and collaboration would
take the place of exploitation and
rivalry. Men are not alone respon-
sible for the condition of the world
today, the women were reminded..
Had not mothers been remiss in
the training of their children by
not instilling into their minds al-
truism and the real spirit of bro-
therhood?
Miss Saint Jean, whose topic was
"Women in Society," summed up
the task of women "to render soc-
iety more human,"

Bad Posture Often
Due to Malnutrition
It doesn't do one bit of good to
tell a child to stand up straight.
He will do it for a minute or so
perhaps, but the instant his mind
is on something else, down he
slumps again.
He will only hold his chin up
and his shoulders back aa long as
he remembers. True, if he can
be made conscious of them alto-
gether without letting anything
else interfere, the miraculous
might happen. Habit is made up
of oft -repeated actions.
But I have never known a child
who grew straight merely because
he was talked into it, writes Olive
Roberts Barton. Children, fortu-
nately, often do adopt better po-
sures as they grow older, but
other •things are to be thanked
for the change usually.
CORRECT DIET FROM
BABYHOOD
A malnourished child is usu-
ally round shouldered, dull -eyed
and anything but soldier -like in
his bearing. Such children are not
invariably poor. The malnour-
ished child can be found any-
where, at the well -covered tables •
of the rich as well as in the un-
employed home. A child on three
nonostoo plentiful meals a day
may be getting all the proteins,

Italy claims to have evolved
a method of boosting wheat yields
by giving seed a preplanting elec-

Treatment, by a high-tension
electric current was used to stim-

Science can produce in the

produced by nature in the Are -

California has announced.
It is done by filling quartz
tubes with oxygen and nitrogen
gas (the chief components of the
upper atmosphere) and then run-
ning an electrical discharge •

constitutes a miniature Aurora
Borealis and is measured by a

Thinking himself the sole sur-

might be ,the abode of cannibals,
he went exploring. Presently he
saw smoke ascending from a
clump of shrubs. Just as he was
preparing to bolt, he heard a
voice say:
"Why 'the, did you play
that ... card?"
"Thank Heaven — they're

"Can write abut can't read,"

The prisoner scrawled several

Hatpins Smaller
Hatpins have gone into the
diminutive class in so far as
length is concerned, but they are
really important as a prac-
tical and decorative detail. The
latter angle is played down, for
hatpins are made of the hat medi-
um

into the background. Usually they
are ball shape, but spike or loz-
enge shapes are liked too;
they are thrust into deep backs
to hold them on, or through
crowns both as a "steadier" and
