The Blyth Standard, 1938-08-17, Page 1THE BLYTH STANDARD VOLUME 48—NO, 56, Worst Storm In Years Visits Vicinity Described by older inhabitants as the worst electrical storm to strike this vicinity in years, broke about eight o'clock last Wednesday evening. 'Rahn fell in torrents and lightening flashes followed by a continuous roar of thunder interrupted hydro service and had hydro men busy throughout the night trying to get power through to various town's by morning. .The thunder and lightning was bad enough put it was also accompanied by a heavy wind, which in some sections must have reached cyclonic propor- tions, Barns in the surrounding dis- tricts were unroofed, and other prop- erty damage reported. Probably the worst to suffer wore apple orchards, many of the older tree( were blown over and many orchards present a rather forlorn appearance to passers- by, No doubt the apple crop will suf- fer as a result. Tho storm was gen- oral throughout most of Western Ont- ario. • Women's Association Tho Woman's Association of the United Church held their regular mon- thly meeting on Tuesday.

"Educate the People" Always interested in people and events, Mr. Dewan was inevitably drawn to politics. In 1931 he won a seat on the Woodstock City Coun- cil; in 193I entered the Ontario Legislature as Liberal member for Oxford; following last autumn's el- ection he was chosen by the Pre- mier as MInister of Agriculture. Mr, Dewan would like to see the 13353 of our rural people live pros• perOt1S and happy lives. Co-opera- tion, in his fervent belief, would help to brie; about that end. IIis mission is to educate the people to Ps value; he would like to have a staff of instructors go out into the Province on an educational crusade for the co-operative movement, but In this he is sadly handicapped be- cause the government isn't prepar- ed to spend money on such a pro- ject. (Not only fanners but people generally would benefit by partici- pation in co-operatives, Al r. Dewan sa y). Wants Wheat Pegged Again, the lliinistet' of Agricul- ture: ''If our young people are to continue to live o11 the farts, rural life must he made attra ;tive to them." At present, Mr. Dewan is urging the federal government to set a minimum price for payments to On- tario wheat producers, as well as to western growers. Ilse points out that the price for Ontario wheat now ranges from 35c to 65c, instead of 80c, per bushel. More gold is being mined in Australia than a year ago. t�' • • ry' ftf'frI "" ,(capr-,ht, ?net Reber) „ ., 5-4 t"W. cell him Mr. X. until • . • rho ivO-.4i 'R 1 a name."

In a hospital at Brasov, Rumania, a man was operated on for the re- moval of his appendix. As soon as the operation was completed he got up from elle table and acted as as- sistant to thessurgeon at the same Kind of an operation on the follow- ing patient. This is not an unusual situation at Brasov, here the great majority of the patients get up from the operating fable, dress, walk to their room or out into the garden and remain ambulant instead of go- ing to bed. Dr, Livius Campeanu, surgeon at the hospital, has. been working for years under the theory that it is not only unnecessary for patients to retrain in bed for Jong periods of time after an operation, but that it is beneficial for theta to walk around. A Psychic Stimulant Since 193E Dr. Catnpeanu has performed 3,150 abdominal opera - (ions in which the patients left their beds on the day following the operation, Since the beginning of 1937, encouraged by his earlier re- ; sults, he has had patients, operated on under local anesthetics, get on their feet from the operating table. When operations are performed under spinal or general anesthesia the patients are on their feet the second day. They return on the Bev - Oath or eighth day for removal of stitches, Dr. Catnpeanu states, according to a report on his work in "The Journal of the Aruerican Medical Association," that getting up im- mediately after an operation is a psychic as well as a physical stim- ulant and curtails the duration of disability, Among the 1,300 pati- ents operated on since January, 1937, titet'e have been three deaths, Desert Yields 1848 Skeletons Believed to Be Of Eight Men Who Went on Expedition Into Interior of Australia The skeletons of eight men, be- lieved to be members of an ex- pedition led by a German explor- er, Friedrich Leichareit, which left Moreton Bay, on the Queensland coast, in 1818, to cross the contin- ent and disappeared in the inter- ior, have been found in the Simp- son Desert in the northern part of South Australia by a ranch -owner while rounding up cattle. Grouped In a Circle r`ieven of the skeletons were grouped in a circle, suggesting that the men were around a camp- fire when they were surprised by blacks and speared. The eighth skeleton lay two miles away and the presumption is the wounded man fled and later fell exhausted and expired. The expedition was last report- ed at Innaminaka, just over the South Australian border, thirty miles east of where the skeletons were found. The South Australian Govern- ment is organizing an expedition to examine the skeletons, compris- ing an anthropologist, ethnologist, surveyor and a cinematographer.

For Seagram Cold Cup Last year, as the cut shows, Ralph Guldahl got his hands on the Seagram Gold Cup but that was all. Lighthorse Harry Cooper, one-time Hamilton i,oy, got the pup, the $5,000 cash and the Canadian Open Golf championship, Now Guldahl is burning up Ur S. golf courses, retaining the U. S.

He's one of the biggest threats for this year's Canadian title, to be played at Mississauga -Toronto on Aug- ust 18 to 20.

POLL TAX FOR WOMEN Barrie town council has en- dorsed the proposal to make wom- en who earn over 5100 a year, subject to the same municipal poll lax as men. There is really no t alid reason why there should be any more discrimination between the sexes in taxation than there is in giving employment.

Casa Loma Tunnel Relieves Hay Fever Fifty thousand people, from every province of Canada, every state in the United States and from a score of foreign countries, have visited Casa Loma, Canada's outstanding showplace, so far this summer, W. C. Davidson, K.C., chairman of the Casa Lorna Committee of the ICi- wanis Club of \Vest Toronto, an- nounced last week. At least another 100,000 people are expected to visit the Castle be- fore November, swelling the Ki- wanis Club's ' nderprh'ileged Chil- dren's Fund.,, Guides at the Castle reported that the uarter-mile tunnel between the Castle and the quarter -million dollar stables is the most fascinat• Ing spot to tourists. The tunnel is said to be the only one of its kind on the North American continent, Iiay fever victims are expected to swarm the tunnel starting August 15. Last year scores of them spent hours in the Castle tunnel and claimed to be relieved of their ail- ment so long as they remained in the cool pollen -free passageway.

Storing Human Eyes Proposed Doctor Says Transplantation Supply Too Low ~ Theestablishment of an "eye bunk," in which the eyes either of donors or of dead people could be stored for use in eye operations, is proposed by Dr, Louis Lehrfeld of the eye department of the Philadel- phia County Medical Society, Such an establishment, he said, was the only hope for restoration of sight to many people doomed to permanent blindness, because there were not enough eyes for use in transplantations, From The Dead "The number of victims of eye dtkeases who require extraction of it whole eye -with an unaffected cornea -is too small to provide for ,1111 of the transplantations requir- ed," Dr. Lehrfeld added. "Surge- ons must depend on occasional don- ors of eyes stricken by a blindness which does not affect the cornea. Surgeons will not remove a perfect eye from a living person, despite the willingness of mothers in many cases, to sacrifice an eye to give their children sight." Solution to the problem, he said, was extraction of perfect eyes from the (lead, immediately after death. Th perfect eyes of still -born babies had the greatest value. What Science * Is Doing Carbon Dioxide Is Necessary Carbon dioxide, which has been identified for decades by laymen and physicians as being the main ingredient in foul or used air, is now regarded by medical research workers as being a necessary con- stituent of the breathing process. McGill medical research work- ers point out that the despised carbon dioxide is really what causes us to breathe. It acts as a stimulant on the respiratory cen- ters. This is the reason that in modern resuscitation work oxygen is mixed with a small quantity of carbon dioxide which, when it en- ters the lungs, stimulates them in- to action. Cures Apple Ills Injection of a chemical known as boron into the trunks of apple trees afflicted with "corky bore" is said to give almost 100 per cent. control over this bane of apple growers. The discovery is reported by L. C. Young, horticulturist, and asso- ciates at the Dominion Experi- mental station at Fredericton, N.B. After several years' work they are experimenting to see if boron can be applied as a soil treatment, New Cancer Method Invention of radium threads, a now method of treatment for can- cer, was announced last week at the New York City Cancer Insti- tute. The threads are made by taking ordinary "sutures" used by surg- eons for sewing up wounds, and inserting in them, spaced like beads, tiny gold or silver "seeds". The seeds, long used in cancer treatment, contain radon, the gas from radium, which gives off ex- actly the same rays as radium. ...Gardening N4otes.,. PLANT THEM NOW August embraces Maus' garden operations which usually are assoc- iated with the fall. This is particu- larly true of the planting of certain bulbs. Madonna lilies usually do the best if planted in August. The res. son for this is easily explained by the fact that it is the nature of the bulbs to develop some broad foliage before the arrival of winter. Oriental Poppies August does not seem to be a fa- vorable month for planting peren- nials, yet it is at this time that the Oriental poppy (Papaver orientate) is most successfully planted. Unlike most perennials, the plants die down gradually after their flower- ing in Jlay and June, until by Aug- ust they have become entirely dor- mant. During this dormant period transplanting of the long tap -root- ed plants is accomplished with the greatest success. In the early fall the plants resume both top and root growth, and recently moved plants establish themselves for the. winter. '1'o grow really fine Oriental pop- pies the soil should be prepared 1S inches (seep. A good loam, enriched with well -rotted manure or compost is ideal. fresh manure should never be used, as there Is danger of its Issue No. 34-'38 Potting the fleshy roots. if well rot- ted Manure, or compost, cannot be obtained, dried sheep manure and some commercial foram of humus may be substituted. 'These should be thoroughly mixed with the soil before planting. DISCOURAGE EARLY BLOOM Some chrysanthemums, and Cali• Has of the large flowered exhibition type, may be showing buds now, but it is best to discourage early blooming. 110111 of these fine flow- ers are late summer and aut1111111 subjects and require cooler weather and particularly longer and cooler nights, to develop to their hest. Early blooming not only exhausts the plants prematurely, but the flowers that ;are produced are us- ually poorly formed, and not so good in color as those that develop later ou. insects which attack and deform the blossoms are also more prevalent now than later. Therefore another pinching back of the plants - even if this has already been done once or twice - is In order. 11/Scratching AEUFVE Itching otInsect Bites Evros the Wont stnhb'-e itching r,(nth- lete's loot, hives, scales, cams, and otter est,xnnlly caused skin afflictions yrt' 7 -seas to cp:ing, uttli- teplic, liquid 0. 0. 0.

The advantage for the "thread radium," according to its originators, Dr, Fred Hanes and associates, is the certainly of plac- ing the burning substance in pre- cisely the best locations. The 93rd Element The noted physicist, Jean Per- rin, informed the French Acad- emy of Science his collaborators have discovered what is believed to be the 93rd chemical element -a substance heavier than uran- ium. The scientist, president of the academy, said the element had been found in stable form 111 min- erals containing uranium, notably pitchblende, By using a powerful spectro- scope, he said, his colleagues had distinguished four new spectral lines which were believed to have been caused by the presence of transuranium, a nucleus whose atom would contain 93 positive charges. Starch -Making Animal The discovery that one small, barely -visible water animal can make, in 25 days, more starch and fat than the whole United States could eat, was described last week at the Marine Biologi- cal Laboratory, Woods Hole, Mass. The animal is Chilmonas, a flagellate, so termed from'the fact that he swims by lashing with fine, hair-like arms called flagel- la. Scientists got interested in him becaase, unlike virtually all other living things, he is able to slake starch and fat without light. Starch and fat are two of the three essential foods. Protein is the other, Hens Require Some Privacy Before going into the privacy of the henhouse it's a good idea to rap on the door, says II. W. Titus, a poultry expert at the na- tional agricultural research sta- tion, Beltsville, Maryland. "Then the chickens know what to expect, conte to attention and face the door'," he explains. There is no fluttering - no alarm." Otherwise, the birds are apt to get excited, flutter, and injure themselves.

Priestley It is is a light-hearted mood that Mr, ("Good Companion") Priestley, having swapped English mists for desert spaces, has come on what he calls "a fairy-tale in Western rig." "Fairy-tale" indeed suggests only part of the story of "The Doomsday Alen." Buried i11 it lies most of the makings of a murder mystery. It has more than a ''tin'e of a Western" and a generous slice of romance. -There is a beautiful damsel in distress, who has a brace of wicked uncles and a father who is a niodel'n magician, a scientist. There is an impecunious but un- daunted suitor; an innocent s;icn- tist, a domestically inclined sol- dier of fortune, a dare -devil, a de- lightful widow with gray curls. Over all of 1110111 and many other millions hangs a fate that it would be unfair to disclose. You enter the book by way of the murder mystery. Theta both love and sus- pense thicken, and the tale win(is its fabulous way up a canyon near the edge of Death Valley.

Toronto, August 6,—J, P. McEvoy, not- ed satirist, novelist and feature writ- er, recently wrote a book called "Fath- er Meets Son", published 'by J, B. Lippincott Co., in which a modern father, patterned after the famed Lord Chesterfield, wrote a series of letters t0 his son Who had jest entered the business world after a rather heft - tic college career. The letters dis- cussed every aspect of the young man's future life •• questions of em- ployment., marriage, social responsib- ilities, and so on. On one occasion the lad, who was working at the time as a private chauffeur, took Ills employer's car out one night without permission and "wrapped it around a lamp -post" Father McEvoy, \viten he heard about the accident, sat clown end wrote lila son a letter containing a great deal of food for thought which should be thoroughly digested b;; everyone or steeped in ,water to serve as a who dl•It•es a car.

P. McTague will preside at the murder trial, Thurs- day's preliminary hearing of Mrs, Magee was slated to have been held in Goderich but was switched to Wing - ham at the last minute. The change was made in view of the fact that all witnesses in the case live in Wingham or in that immediate district. Mrs. Magee was driven to Wingham by Provincial Constable Percy McCoy and was returned to the county jail at Goderieh immediately following her committal. No new evidence was brought out at Thursday's hearing. The testimony of witnesses was virtually the same as that given at the coroner's inquest In Wingham last week. Evidence then revealed the strained relations that ex- isted between Mrs. Magee and her 73 - year -old mother-in-law, Mrs. Sarah Magee. The younger Mrs. Magee, formerly Ruby Baird, went to live at the Magee home in Morris following' her marriage to William Magee lin September, 1936. A few months later the home was divided into two parts, Mr. and Mrs. William Magee living in one section and Mrs. Sarah Magee and another son in the other. For several months prior to the day the 10 -months -old baby was drowned in the water trough on the Magee farm, allegedly by her mother, the door between the two sections of the house had been kept locked. This s because of the unfriendly feeling which existed between the two women Evidence given by Mrs. Sarah Magee revealed she and her daughter-in-law did not speak to each other if they could avoid 1n a signed statement, now in the hands of the Crown, the younger Mrs Magee is quoted as saying that she has been to the police in Wingham or at least. two occasions within a month prior to the drowning of her young daughter. She was laboring under the impression, the statement is said to reveal, that her mother-in-law was planning to take legal steps to take ethers which prefer to dwell in the her baby away from her. swamps.

Her wit flash- ed at the tip of iter tongue; her laughter rang like the thin chim- ing of bells. "You're very bright tonight," Macduff told her. "Yes, I've had news from home today." "Oh, that's it!" His Manner was dashed. "It must have been cheerful." She laughed behind her cham- pagne glass. "It was something 1 didn't expect," she said, They strolled out of the dining room and took two 'rickshaws to Jade Street. At last they went into the tiniest and blackest of all the shops, and a wrinkled old Chinese came forward to ask in a squeaky voice what they wanted. She explained that she wanted a jade bracelet, very rare, very choice. The man studied her with attention; then he closed his shut- ters and bolted his door. "I show you something very rare, missie," he said, moving ma- jestically through the small square of the shop. He pried at the draw- er of a lacquer chest, which then sprang open and revealed an in- ner compartment. Angela fancied she caught a gleans in the whites of his eyes. His fingers moved mysteriously at the back of the Chest, pressing on secret springs till he reached a long black case. From its hidden folds, which had eemed to hold the dust and dead odor of centuries, he drew out a bracelet and suspended it with a clash before her eyes. "Ah!" she exclaimed in admir- ation, "That's it!" A Superb Choice Macduff was impressed. He took the bracelet in his hand and pas- ted it through his fingers, blunt- ly, without the caressing fond- ness of the Chinese. Five carved Buddhas of dark jade were strung together on an intricate silver chain. An eloquent bracelet, a bracelet one would remember. She could not have dreamed of a better choice. The merchant then named his price. It was absurdly high and twice the value of the trinket. She did not care.

"What happened, Angela? I know that something bit you very hard." "How clever of you," "1 thought you would be glad to get back to your husband and honk." "I'm not going back to lily hus- band." She spoke as calmly as if she were flicking a speck of dust from her clothes. Macduff looked at her suddenly and dropped his pipe from his mouth. "You're not going back t0 your husband?" he repeated, stu- pidly. "No, He doesn't want me back. Ile wants a divorce." "And you're going to give it to him?" His voice rose from its deep rumble to a peak of surprise. "Why not? You see, he's fallen in love with a girl of seventeen, and youth must be served." "Well, 1'111 damned!" Gently he touched the back of her idle hand. "1'm double -damned! The swine!" "Hush, Macduff." Her fingers covered his lips. "The bracelet, then? I'ni sure it had something to do with your news." "Yes," said .Angela, simply. "Lovat wanted the bracelet for the girl he loves." "Angela, you're a fool!" said Macduff suddenly. "Yes, I ani afraid 1 a111 a mis- erable fool. But let's move on." It was one of the red-letter days in Miss Mudge's life. When they were hack on the Marenia, she looked up Mr, Charlton, feel- ing that her pleasure was some- thing that she must share \kith him. Red Letter Day "I wonder if I shall be able to settle down when I get home," she was saying. "I've always leen of the opinion that it's better to feel planted in one spot." "I should not have supe ted that from knowing you, Miss Mudge." }lis voice was teasing, but it eased over her like a cares--ing wind. "Why not?" "I can't believe you would just bang the door shut on adventure. If you were that sort, you would not have conic on th;s trip around the world." "I think t'ou't e discovering a lot of things about ale that 1 did not know myself. But, you see, there hasn't been much chance for me to do anything but stay put." She leaned against his ►Sleeve, her quaint, small face thrust up Into his. Dick feared that she wanted to be kissed, that she had wanted very badly to be kissed by him, yet did not know it, He held her hand and felt it burning in his cool clasp. Miss Mudge caught fire under his touch until all of a sudden he was holding her shaking in his arms, 0 God! he thought. Though he hated tears, he was moved by the desperate note of hysteria in her voice, She shuddered and clung to him. He was shocked by the fervor of her embrace. "l'm so ashamed!" she murmur- ed into his ear. Hysteria "Ah, don't say that. It's stupid O1' a woman to be ashamed of her feelings. They are really the most charming thing about her," "But I would not do this in 011 - onto," Miss Mudge went on, "I would not be so abandoned." Dick laughed. "You must forget about Ohon- to. You're very far from there now, and you trust know by this time that there's a broader, freer world than that." Miss Mudge listened, entranced. Perhaps it was true. His words sank sweetly into her conscious- ness. Suddenly she buried her face in his collar, "My dear!" said Dick, catching "Mr. Charlton!" she mumbled, her in a firm and sustaining' grip and laughing at himself for a fool. Ile turned her face up, drip- ping with tears. He saw her big drenched eyes, and the eager, tremulous curve of her lips. Bend- ing over, he kised her so slowly and thoroughly that she fainted against his chest. With a quick surge of concern he put her back in her chair and bent over her, wondering what he could do to revive her, but he saw that her hysteria had been wiped out in a deadly wave of inertia. After a while she got up and scuttled along deck without a word — a ridiculous figure with ridiculous skirts, flying towards the companionway. She had called hills Mr. Charlton, even when he had kissed her, Dick wiped the sweat from his brow. Never again! He regretted everything that had happened, everything from the very beginning. This had been different from all his other ex- periences, it left him with a self - disgust. He was strangely touch- ed thinking of Miss Mudge's very lonely pillow.

Corn Women's Genius Rescued Fiction It Would Have Wilted But For Their Efforts—Survey of 20 - Century Literature Contains High Praise for Feminine Writers "Certainly the time is past when men could writo disparagingly of.

They lock theta up in a room and leave them alone for hours." Captain 1I. le R.

"They were locked up in a room without -any furniture from S.30 in the morning until 2.30 in th^ after- noon. 'The inspector found that the wallpaper had been stripped from the walls as far as the boys could reach.

THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING Time — The events of this lesson cannot be definitely dated, but felt possibly between 1170 I1.C, and 1140 Place — Itantatltalm•zophim was situated in Benjamin; see the les- son for further oxl?lanation. Shiloh was a city in F phriail on the north side of Bethel. It Is quite remarkable how many women of pious hollies, in both the Old and New 'Testaments have been for tinny long years childless, Sas- ah (Gen, 16:1), Rachel (Gen. 30:1), Manoah's wife (Judg, 13:2), Elisa- beth (Luke 1:7). And get God, in preparing Samuel to do a great svork in Israel, was also preparing Hannah to be tite another that a great man such as Samuel would need. Clod had to get a woman be- fore he could get a man. Hannah had in her the leaking of the wo- man he needed. God honored her by choosing her, but she roust be changed hcl'ore she could be used, anti so there came those year?t of pruning and sifting and discipline, 9. So Hannah rose up after they had erten in Shiloh, and after they had drunk. Now Eli the priest was sitting upotl his seat by the door- post 01 :he temple of Jehovah. 10. And tete was in bitterness of soul, and Keyed unto Jehovah, and wept sore. Trouble will do one of two things to a believer; it will either harden his or her heart, or it will bring that one to Clod. Iitutnth is led to the throne of grace by the agony that is in iter heart. The word "Shiloh" means "rest." It continued to be the religious center of the entire station until after\the loss of tite ark In the disastrous battle of Ebenezer (see Jet, 7:12), When Hannah had come up to Shi- loin to worship, she founts Eli the priest there lazily idling away his tint0 before this sacred object that had le (el committed to his care. The fervor, beauty, and efficacy of Hannah's nah's prayer did not depend on `,he pull's' of any priesthood. oierteed By A Vow 11..;:..i site vowed a t0tu, and Said, 0 Jehovah, 11 thou wilt indeed look ea the affliction of thy hand- maid, and remember rue, and not forget thy handmaid, but wilt give unto thy hatl(iuhtlid a man -child, then 1 will give'hinn unto Jehovah.._ all the days of his life, and there shall no razor conte upon Itis head. 'T'lte pt' yet which Ilattuah offered tvus Ii ill° form of it vow in which sho promised God that, should he grant unto her tine privilege of be - conning the mother of a son, she would dedicate that son to the life of a Nuzirite as long as he lived. "The Naziriteship included three things — the refraining from intox- icating drinks, the letting the hair grow, and the avoiding all ceremon- ial defilement by corpses even of the nearest .kin. These strange res- trictions and customs had an inner signification, The untouched hair, which here is especially mentioned, was a public protest, that the con- secrated ono had determined to re- frain Itann intercourse with the world, and to devote the whole of his strength and fullness of life to tltn10t1'swort:. 12, lend it Cattle to pass, as site continued praying before Jehovah, that Eli marked her mouth. 13. Now hIannah, she spats() in her heart; only her lips moved, but her voice was not heard: therefore Ell had thought she had been drunken. 14. And Eli said unto her, flow long wilt Zhou be drunken? pert away thy wine from thee. 15, And IIan- nah answered and said, No, my long, I am a woman of a sorrow- ed fill spirit; I have drunk neither wire nor strung drink, but 1 poured out my soul before Jehovah. 16. Count not thy handmaid for a wick- ed tvotliati; for out of the abund- ance 01 my complaint and toy pro- vocation have I spoken hitherto. Eli here supremely shows himself' to 1r0 utterly 1111111 for the priest- hood. When 1eilath who Is supposed to be devoting his life to spiritual thing e, in the dare of souls, to lead- ing "(bets in spiritual growth, is unable 'o tell the difference be- tween a woman pleading with God In pro>'er end a woman dr'llllk ruing wine, he should let 'some one else coque in and do what he is thereby proving himself ine.lpatrtc 1,f :Intl unfit fer guilt'. A Most Earnc..t Y:torse,,peer 17, 'Then El answered and said, Go in peace; and the God of Israel grant Thy petition that thou hast asked of him. 18. And she said, Let thy handmaid find favour in thy sight. So the woman went her way, and did rat; and her countenance was n0 more sad. Yet when E11 001)0', finally to recognize that the woman whom he had so falsely ac- cused of intemperance was probab- ly the most earnest, devout Ivor - shipper who had come up to the house of the Lord for many a day, he had the grace to bestow a bles- sing upon her, and to add his own hope to hers, that her petition soon would be granted, Shortly after Santel's birth his father went up to Shiloh to offer an early sacrifice and to perforin a vow which -he had made, which also shows that not only his wife but he also had made a vow concerning the birth of a son (cf. Deut, 12:11), Song of Thanksgiving li'or the mercy and loving -kindness which the Lord had showed unto her, Ilannah utters her thanksgiv- ing hanksgiving in a song which reaches far beyond the occasion which gives it birth, and rises into the region of prophecy, 1. And IIannah prayed, and said: My heart exultoth in Jehovah; My horn Is exalted in Jehovah; My mouth is enlarged over aline enemies; Because I rejoice in thy salva- tion. The word "horn" refers first, of course, to oxen, whose strength lies in their horns. The word was a fav- orite avorite Hebrew symbol, which had 00100 to mean simply "strength" or "power." The phrase "to exalt the horn" 111081ls "to raise to a position ler power or dignity." (Ps. 89:17; 143:14), 2. There is none holy as Jehovah; For there is nolle besides thee, neither is there any rock like our (1mi. God is frequently compared to a rock, which is, of course, a meta- phorical way of ascribing to God strength, faithfulness and me changeableness. 3. `Palk no more so .exceeding proudly; Let not arrogance come out of your mouth; For Jehovah is a Cod or know- ledge, And by him actions are weighed, Undoubtedly Ilannah Is here re- ferring; to the sneers cast at her by her husband's second wife dar- ing the barren years before Samuel was born, his birth bringing to an end cutting remarks about her own childlessness. Tice song rises now from a con- sideration of God's goodness to Hannah and her immediate family to a consideration of Clod's good- ness to all of Israel, and closes with a marvelous paean of praise to God regarding "his King" and ''his Anointed," tvhiclt, we blew°, can refer to none other than the Lord Jesus Cltt'Ist. 1lannah was a woman of faith, i.e., faith in Cod, manifested by her constant prayer to Jehovah. She was a woman or infinite patience and tenderness, for we do not read of a single bitter, hasty word that escaped her lips during the days of iter great trial and insulting perse- cution on the part of Peuhtuah. .Ilatltlah was a woman who consid- ered it the very greatest honor that a son should be given to the service of the Lord for a perpetual minis- try in the temple of Jehovah. Shave Often and Save Your Shirts Other things being ,equal, the matt whose shirts last longest is the man who shaves 'most fre- quently', J. Fred Oestcrling, re- search assistant in textile chemis- try at Pennsylvania State College, said last week. "Neck whiskers, if they are not shaved off every (lay, abrade the fabric of the shirt at the collar. Of course, this lessens the life.of the collar and of the shirt as a whole," he said. Research at Penn State has shown an ordinary shirt can be washed and ironed 25 to 30 times before it shotes pronounced signs of wear, Some have beotl washed and ironed 50 times, but they were not worn between washings. Home Should Be Run Like Business Something Wrong When The Current Expenses Exceed Income The woman who °eters upon the enterprise of homemaking assumes definite economic obligations, The home is an investment—in part, a financial investment, It the home is maintained on a paying basis, then it is a sound financial invest- ment; if on a losing basis, there is something which needs correcting, Should the question arise; "How does one know when her home ceases to he on a paying basis?" The answer Is: "When the current expenses are not compatible with income, and the balance sheet at end of mouth shows financial loss instead of gain." No business un- dertaking could hope to succeed if those in authority did not under- stand the technique and fundamen- tals involved, The same laws which snake a business organization successful are essential to the pros- perity of a home. Find Where The Leak Comes In order to place a home on a Are You businesslike basis one must deter- mine what portion of the assets alien be set aside for current house- hold expenses, such as; rent, food, clothing, fuel, gas, and electricity, It at the end of the month the re- sources are in excess of the ex- penditures lbe home investment is sound. This can only be consist• ontly and successfully accomplished through a budget plan which en• ables one to look at facts squarely, and helps to prevent the leakage that frequently occurs in household expenses. Refrigerator Tips Keep food in covered contain- ers. Remove paper bags or paper wrappings from food before stor- ing in refrigerator, Clean veget- ables and wrap in waxed paper or some of the new transparent hags; wash the inside of the refrigera- tor thoroughly with a mild wash- ing soda solution at least once a week; defrost automatic refriger- ators regularly, or when the unit is frosted 110 i)101'e than a quarter in.
