The oppression of Israel described in the first chapter of Exodus is commoti- ly believed to have taken place in the thirteenth century B.C., but tha period of time is uneertain and may :save been two centuries miler. The people of Israel had been 'meg in Egypt and had greatly inereased in numbers (12: 37, 40. 41). Their home was in the grazing lands in the northeastern part of the country not far from the Asiatic bour.dary. 11. THE VISION ANI) CALL, 3: 1-14. - Pow often in history the cal) is a- companied, or preceded, by the vision! So it was in the experience. of Moses. Standing upon holy ground be hrc! a vi.eon o; God. The. bush burned with r (1 the bush was nor emsumv-i. Whether this might have been 0 na- tural phenomenon, a peculiar effect of light upon the mountain side, or a miracle, the effect upon the mind of Moses was the same In that great sight he saw the presence of God. We may well believe that Moses in his Midianite exile thought much upon the sorrowful plight of his own people in the Egyptian oepression. He may have, indeed must have, desired great- ly to help 'them. Hitherto the way had not been clear. Now these collies the unmistakable - call of duty. One thing is made clear to him. The God who calls is the God of his fathers, though now revealed by a new name, the name which the Hebrews pro- nounced as Yahweh, which s.e wrong- ly pronounce Jehovah, and which seems to mean "The Living One," the living God. Fortified by the promise of God who said, certainly1 I will be with thee, and with his doubts and fears removed, Moses returns to Egypt to take up his great task. His brother 'Aaron becomes his Chosen and willing helper, THE TASK, 11: 1-10. The task to which Moses was called is merely sugges•xcl. here. Its magni- tude and extreme difficulty appear in the chapter preceding and following. There was, first of all, the mind of the enslaved people to be prepared for the adventure, and the Egyptian kind to be persuaded to let them go Then there was the leading of a great un - 'disciplined company from the plenty ef Egyptian servitude to the hardships and privations of the wilderness, be- yond which lay the fair and goadly land of promise. Moses had to be their leadev and judge, their ruler and law- giver. Ile had to endure their mur- murings and complaining. their rebel- lious moods and disloyalties, their lapses into idolatry, their disobediense and faithlessness. But out of this horde of emancipated slaves he made a nation, he gave thein a constitution and laws, a sanctuary and a priest- hood, and brought them into a coven- ant bond with their father's God l(chap. 24). IV. THE MAN, 32: 30-25; 'Deist. 34: 'I- 8; Hebrews 11: 23-20. Greater than all his achievements was the man himself, great in his fidel- ityhis mune his unselfish devotion to his task, and'his faith in God, The story is told in chap. 32 of the turning, during Moses' absence front the en- campment, of many of the people to a gross form of idol worship, and of the strife which followed. Moses' enters .... prise lieemed'here to be doomed to fail- ure. He would have himself made atonement for the people's sin. For- give them, he rayed to God, or if not blot me out of thy book, He is worthy indeed of the high praise be- stowed upon him in the Epistle to the Hebrews, where he is the greatest of all that bright succession of the elders who obtained a good report through faith. Ocean Colors A landlubber's first impression of the ocean is One of striking beauty, and those who were reared near the sea love it and, are seldom content far front it. Few scenes surpass the beauty of a sunset at sea. Although. the greatbody of the open ocean has a defieite, clear blue color, its ap- parent color is always changing; and, because it is so changeable, we never grow tired. or it. Its diversity in ap- Pearance is caused partly by the re- flection Of the constantly changing sky and partly by varying light con- dition. Some parts of the oceaes are vari- ously tinted. because of impurities the water or minute organisms pre- sent in great quantity. The Red Sea is so named because or the reddish color given it by certain plankton. Different intensities of green and yel- low tints occur near land. The olive- green tint of the Antarctic Ocean is caused hy enormous quantities of dia- toms suspended in the water. Streaks of unusual colors are also noted occa- sionally in the opeu ocean; many tra- velers have observed stretches of water of a brilliant red tint. Oeean- graphers who have towed their plank- ton nets through such waters have foundlarge numbers of minute red organisms, Usually dinoflagellates .— Donald K. Tressier, in "The Wealth of the Sea."

My purpose is to give you that knowledge so it • can be used in the every day meuti.I Then each person will know just what she is eating in an average helping of food. When the time comes I will clearly set forth the values so they can be easily followed. It is necessary first to understand why we honld do cer- tain things, then naturally, we wish to know how to do them. IC one, keeps healthier through being normal, neither too thin nor too fat, and if one certainly looks and feels better, then we know it is something which Is beneficial. 11 18 often hard to begin .because we fear we might not have the courage to diet, We eertainly do not want to miss all the fun of being invited - out to various forms of entertainment. But cheer up; this way of reducing is not so drastic. You may go to your parties, but remember, moderation must be your watchword. The next. clay you should be willing to eat less food to Make up for the extra good time. It is a proven fact that nearly all over -fat people eat unwisely and do not exercise enough. That is why anti -fat advertisements claim diet and exercise are unnecessary if you will only take their medicine. When you' read these claims rntember what Ar - tennis Ward'said. "There are so many people in this world who tell us so many things that ain't so." The other day I was dressing a chicken, and a fat chicken. TWO thick layers of fat padded. the sides, but the most alarming thing about it was that the fat which,: clogged itt.. around the stomach, liver and heart, big lobs of fat, also crowded the vital organs. The poor chicken had .,egg, - yolks inside waiting to, be made into eggs, but there was no room roe ab-- volopment. Fat is no respecter of peopleor ani- mate, so the thing to do is to get rid of it. The chicken was overfed and so are people. tire. insurance companies would rather have thin middle-aged policy- holders than stout ones. Think about it. Soon we will begin to understand calories. Try starting on something like this, so as to acquire the art of reducing by degrees. Eat your three meals a day, but tut down an everything, gradually lessen. ing the quantities. Eat sparingly of pastries, pie, ice cream and candy. Start out with an ordinary helping of lean meat, fish or fowl, no fat, n big helping of vegetables such as stein- ach cabbage carrots etc., but only take half as much potato or rice, peas or beans. Use fresh fruits a great deal and especially oranges for des- serts. Salads or lettuce and toma- toes with a little dressing, are very necessary. Then drink water any time, lots of it but be sure there is 110 food in the month when fluids are taken. Tea and coffee have no calorie value but 'the cream and sugar you add have, so be sparing of the trim- mings, Eat nothing between meals, 11 you feel hungry before it is time for your next meal, drink some warm water. It giVes the stomach some- thing to do. It is very important! to eat your three meals each day, for you ned fuel to carry on. A low fire needs con- stant attention. If you decide to eat a very light breakfast to get a good start for the day in trying to reduce, be iture you do not start out without any breakfast at all.

The motor is now on blocks, being tested at the Curtiss Flying Service School, Detroit, Mich, More breakfast but cut down on the tentintity of all your meals instead of having One lean meal. One of the nice things about this way of reduc- ing is that you can pick and choose as to when yott will do with less food. There will be more said. about ex- ercise as we proceed for, of course, O certain amount of it is very import- ant but for the overweight person, too strenuous exercise, especially at first, Is not good. It is not difficult in these days to find suitable ex• ereises In the various papers or maga- zines. Very likely you know of many. From these choose a moderate exer- cise for the arms, the neck, the waist, the legs and do them regularly for 10 minutes every morning. Get used to taking a daily walk but do not walk and exercise so much that you become famished for food. Here is a good principle to remember. To reduce we must cut. down On the amount or food we are accustomed to eating until it supplies less than the amount of energy fuel needed. This is what makes the body draw on ite surplus fat 'for fuel to run the body and tits causes one to reduce.

This time it was the North Atlantio over which she fought her way through head -winds and fog in the long jump from Ireland to Norat America. Cheated of complete victory in one leap, for her -objective was New York City, the Southern Cross has, never- theless, added a brilliant chapter to aviation history. She is the second plane to fly the Atlantic. from east to west, we read, ten pe. A having al. ready perished -.ranting the crossing. The first 1(1 hop the Atlas tic from Europe, the German plane trpmen, was forced down on an is. land off -the coast of Labrador. Contrasting with that flight, the Southern Cross landed sa.fely at Har- bor Grace, Newfoundland, with her crew of four happy after their long fight. The men were Capt. Charles Kingeford-Smith, Evert van Dyk, as- sistant pilot; John W. Stannage, radio operator, and Capt. J, P. Saul, navi- gator. Details of the flight, obtained from the news diepatches, show that the Southern Cross took off at Port Mar - nock, Irish Free State, at 10.27 Lem., Eastern Daylight Saving Time, on Monday, June 23, and touched ground again at Harbor Grace at 6.57 a.m., Eastern Daylight Saving Time, on Wedneeday. It was the fog that spoiled the flyers' hopes of "h•itting New York on the nose," a dense curtain through which, they floundered for three hours, while their compass played tricks, and they strove to get their bearings by radio, as the precious fuel supply went lower. But, as C. C. Nicelot writes in the New York Telegram: "The fog that cloaks the northern 01)081 from Nova Scotia to Labrador, and makes the Grand Banks a g,rave- yard for fishing -boats and transatlan- tic airplanes, could not entirely over- come the invincible combination of an airplane that had flown three-quar- ters of the way around the world, a pilot whose experience in trans- oceanic flying outdid and other's, and a crew whose ability was proved in the long night battle to reach land. "Kingsford -Smith and his threecompanions, companions, by landing safely after circling the Harbor Brace flying -field for nearly an hour, pleading' for an airplane familiar with the region to guide them down. through the heavy mist, managed to establish themselves as the first to fly from Europe to the Western Hemiephere and land. in elvthiza 11011." Newspaper Notions Old newspapers are more effective than camphor for discouraging moths from! clothing. Moths detest the smell of printers' ink. 'When there is anything. to handle,' or dishes. that are extra greasy t&wash, wipe off the soot or grease with pieces of old newspaper. Dustbins will keep dry and free) from grease if old newspapers are burned in them after they have been emptied. Place several layers of old news- papers between the wool or hair mat- tress and the wire mattress ot the bed. This prevents rust marks form- ing nn the mattress or its cover.
