The story of .Samuel's meeting with' Saul .(chap. 9) is well known. Saul and a servant are seeking Iris father's lost asses. When they were returning without success the servant pror-oced a visit to the seer of Ramah. At Ra- mah Samuel met them. Saul's goodly appearance attracted him and moved by the inner voice, "Behold the man," Samuel invited them to a banquet in "the high place, made them sit in the chiefest place," and gave Saul the choicest portion of the meat, reserved for the most distinguished gueat, Saul's' surprise must have been very great, especially wLan the prophet said to him, "On Whom is all the de- sire of Israel? Is it not on thee?" (9: 20, R.V. margin), and when, on the following morning, Samuel talked long with hie, and poured upon : his head the holy anointing oil. Samuel's choice was ratified by the people in another popular assembly (10: 17-24), and yet again, after his heroic relief of the besieged city of Jabesh-gilead, by an outburst of approval on the part of the people, whomt Samuel then summoned to the ancient sanctuary of Gilgal that they might "renew the kingdom there" with sacrifices and re- joking, 11: 12-15. Saul's reign began well. He receiv- ed his honors with becoming modesty. Evidently Samuel expected great things of him. But at,first he had neither -crown nor paace, neither court nor army. He returned to his father's house at Giebah. There were certain worthless fellows, ."sone of Belial," who said, "How con this man save us?" His opportunity came when "following the oxen out of the field" he heard the pitiful appeal of the messengers from Jabesh-gilead and rallied the men of Israel to their rescue, chap. 11. Here and in other events of the earlier years he showed courage, energy and resourcefulness. He gathered about him Israel's fight- ing men and made them into an army able to meet the Philistines on some 'sort of equality and to ahold that What New York Is Wearing BY AI4NABELLE "WORTHING'T'ON ?illustrated 7)ressencdk:ny Lesson .-F.um'- oris7aed '6Vitb Every Pattern Thin ]People -Told To Stop Worrying, Why Should i Gain? By Marie Ann Best Article 3 It is always a mystery to overweight people bow or why the thin person can bo dissatisfied and wish to add to her. weight, • They sea her complacently eating all.she wants of the good eats. which they consider so delicious, with many a pang :Of envy. However, there are underweight People who wish to gain, .and try as they will, they have as much difficulty putting on pounds as the overweight has in taking them off, Some thin people eat astonishing amounts, exercise little and still re- main thin. Of course, these people are not normal, and we sometimes hear them say: "It makes me thin to earry the food around." This is 'because the surplus goes to disease instead of to fat. So, if you are eating far 'too much you will also need to cut down, perhaps go to your,dootm•. Most thin people, though, eat too little of the nourishing foods, and are more inclined to form a habit of worry- iag which uses up , a tremendous amount of energy and burns up a great deal of fuel. Sleep more, and if .you haven't learn- ed bow ,to sleep, dont' worry about it. Relax ,every muscle and rest; knowing that if you do not sleep it doesn't mat- ter. -Bush, dont' say ;anything, just lie still. If you do not care, that's when sleep creeps in all ainknowimtgly. Next comes exercises. One needs exercise :to. be ,able to rest properly afterwards and also to stimulate the ,ap.petite. But don't go at it so strenu- ously., that's one of your failings.

Jack Sprat could eat 110 fat His wife could eat no lean, And so, between the two, you see They made the platter clean. Jack Sprat should have given his wife some of that lean, then she might give bim some fat to even things up a bit, How is this for -a good boiled dinner on a cool day? Scar a chunky piece of beef on both sides. Cover closely and cook very slowly for a long time, adding water occasionally. If you are fond of on - 'ions cut one up and add to the broth. When dinner time comes put the meat in an iron frying pan with some of the fat, leaving the bone in the pot. Cover it closely and continue slow cooking,' turning once in awhile. Season with salt and pepper. Pour off some of the broth for soup, then prepare carrots cut in rings, tur- nips out in chunks, and whole onions. Put them in the pot with the bone an hourbefore serving, add hot water to cover. In half an hour put in *hole peeled potatoes with large chunks of cabbage. (cabbage not over -cooked is easy digested). Donotput meat back into vegetables. It seems to toughen it. When all vegetables are tender, put the meat in the centre of a hot platter and pile the vegetables around it. It .doesn't need gravy. A little lemon juice on tbe cabbbago is very good. Jack Sprat may have a big serving of the meat and potatoes and a small helping of the other vegetables. Mrs. Sprott will now want all the rest of the cabbage, carrots, turnips and onions and a tiny potato with a small piece of meat. The platter is empty and both are satisfied. Jack gained an ounce. His wife lost an ounce.

Doing Nothing Is there anything more boring than doing nothing? To be condemned to an existence of worklessness must be the height of misery, Yet there are many people who positively pray for a life of doing nothing. Such a life is surely no 'life at all. If these lovers of doing nothing had any gumption, they would realize it is but the beginning. of the end. They little realize that such an aimless existence speeds death. It may not be obvious to their lack of vision, but surely enough the end of things is gradually stealing over them.: It must be so, because a workless life is a dead life. In these days, more work than ever Is needed. 1f people will not worn, there is no justification—hard as it may sound—for their existence. Those Of u$ who spend our days building up the world by hard and unremitting work view with some impatience those who delight in doing nothing. Unfortunately, there is too much tendency to pursue that delight. Peo- ple who are lazy are, to say the least, a mtisance.

Film Record Made Of Sign Language Indians Cozrverse in Sign Language at Big Gatho erings Princeton, N.J.—The white man who is said to possess the most aOm- prelaensive knowledge of - tlae sign language of the American Indian will begin soon the preparation of a per- manent record for the United States i Government which .will beproduced in part by means of talking pictures. The man is IVIajor-Gear. .Hugh L. Scott, one-time ,chief of staff of the United States Army, now retiree from military service and at present chairman of the Highway Com,nis- sion of the state of New Jersey, who for many' years has made his home in Princeton, White mach of the worlt will be done in the East, General Scott la - tends' to make a trip to the Blackfoot reservation in Montana, where he will invite Indian representatives from a dozen tribes to meet In order that the common sign language which I they all speak may be recorded by motion Pictures. General Scott, who many times has been sent by presidents on difficult and delicate diplomatic missions among the Indians, told how he first became interested in Indian philology more than 10 years ago: "It was in 1876," he said, "that I first began to study the American h,dian. As a young officer, I liked to be with the Indian scouts of friendly tribes who on expeditions would travel 10 or 15 miles ahead of our detachment, because by living with thein I learned to understand the In- dian and what he wants. '1 found that the language of the plains was not a -vocal language at all, but a sign language which was common to all tribea east of the Roelty Mountains and south of the Saskat- chewan River to old Mexico. I "This I found was a rich, expressive language which was mt,ch older than white man's civilization in America- a simple language devoid of all gram- ' mar and parts of speech. Ml expres- �slons of thought in the intertribal language are expressed by gestures of the two hands. The language le based fundamentally upon limitation of arts and qualities at which the Indian is particularly gifted at dis- tinguishing. "There are some 56 Indian lan- guages in America North of Mexico and more than 300 dialects, so when Indians met Indians with whom ahoy could not converse by speech they learned to master a language of signs which was thoroughly understandable to all. "The Indian today has sign -worsts for every modern thing.
