CHICAGO NEW YORK BOSTON Prayer Day for Russia ‘This is the day set aside by the pope for prayers for | Russia, as a result of the communist oppression of all religions—Christian, Judaic and Mohammedan. Sectar- jan lines have been effaced by the appeal. Other churches than the Catholic will join in giving utterance to this spiritual influence in the hope that a world soli- citude may yet overcome the orgy of ungodliness bear- ing so heavily on the soul and conscience of the mil- lions of believers in the obsessed land. Already the oppression visited on the pious and rev- erent who cling to their faith in a supreme deity has borne good fruit in thus uniting such varied creeds in a common brotherhood for a common purpose. It is good thus to have created a united front against the boasted communist goal, which is to conquer the world and im- pose unbelief everywhere. Communism requires a com- plete liquidation of the God-idea, whether expressed in Christianity, Judaism or Mohammedanism. The soviet regime repeatedly has expressed the intention to extend this integral communism to the entire world. Christian civilization thus is threatened by the fanatical political creed of the bolsheviki wherever it leaves a crevice in its ethical structure for penetration of the Russian desecra- tion. Publicists who have been making a study of the Rus- sian phenomenon are inclined to ascribe it to dethrone- ment of the spiritual reason of Lenin, the creater of com- munist Russia. The execution of his elder brother, Alex- ander, in 1887, by the czarist government for attempted regicide and 31 subsequent years of exile, imprisonment * and clandestine agitation and brooding suffered by Wladimir are believed to have developed in Lenin the mania now manifested by the followers he inspired, in- the combination of communism and religious annihila- tion. The slaughter of the Czarist Romanoff family in the cellar at Ekaterinburg is regarded as the first evi- dence of his long-deferred maniacal revenge and the launching of his premeditated attack on the soul of the Russian people as the climax of this frenzy for venge- ance. “Religion,” he writes in his work “Socialism and Re- ligion,” “is an opiate for the people, a sort of spiritual vodka meant to make the slaves of capitalism tread in the dust their human form and their aspirations to a semi-decent existence.” In his petulant letter to Maxim Gorki, whom he suspected of an “underhand religious- ness,” he warned his friend: “Is it not horrible to think what you will come to in this way? God-seeking differs from God-creating or God-making and other things of that kind much as a yellow devil differs from a blue devil.” Comrade Zinoviev, when president of the Third Inter- mational, more than once voiced the official attitude of the soviet state. Thus, on June 17, 1923, he declared to @ group of visiting English and Swedish Protestants: “Our program is based on scientific materialism, which 4ncludes unconditionally the necessity of propagating etheism.” Again at Christmas, 1924, he fulminated against the deity: “We shall pursue our attacks on Almighty God in due time and in an appropriate manner. We are confident we shall subdue him in his empyrean. We shall fight him wherever he hides himself, but we must. go about such a question as into religious propaganda more carefully in the future. Our campaign against God and religion must be carried out only in a pedagogic way, mot by violence or force.” Madame Krupskaya, Lenin's widow, who is reverenced highly as continuing the tradition of her husband, speaks as clearly: “The need is imperative that the state resume systematic anti-religious work among chil- ‘ dren, We must make our school boys and girls not mere- Jy non-religious, but actively and passionately anti-rell- gious.....The home influence of religious parents must be vigorously combated.” Lunacharsky, soviet minister of public instruction, is franker still, and speaks with an authority that pre- cludes further argumentation. In setting the powerful ‘and subsidized “Association of the Godless” on its way in 1925, he declared: “With all my heart I wish the ‘God- less’ every success in its fight against the repugnant Specter of God which has caused such diabolic harm to all humanity throughout history.” On another occasion the minister of public instruction $went on record as follows: “We hate Christianity and tthe Christians; even the best of them must be regarded @s our worst enemies. They preach love of one’s neigh- ‘bor and mercy, which is contrary to our principle. Chris- ‘tian love is an obstacle to the development Of the revolu- tion. Down with love of one’s neighbor. What we need 4s hatred. We must know how to, hate; only thus shall ‘we conquer the universe.” Of all this a noted cleric has summed up the con- clusion: “One may safely rest his contention on these official pronouncements of responsible members of the soviet government. Wherever the spearhead of communism penetrates, its shaft is clutched by an iron fist swormp to smash all the altars of Christendom.” Prepare for Clean-up Time ‘The clean-up sponsors are around in Bis- Bis- ™marck, N.

That period is near. Now is the time to lay plans for it, to arrange to have winter's accumu- j lation of dirt and debris washed off or carted away and to bring back the panorama of flowers, green grass, trees in leaf and other outdoor phases of spring and summer. Every property owner, householder and business man shouid sense an overpowering duty in the spring of the year to make his buildings and grounds fit into nature's picture of cleanliness and freshness. And the perform- ance of this civic duty costs little in time, expense and effort. It is the little thing that counts. A rusty can can mar a yard; a new coat of paint can “make” a house. Un- desirable neighborhoods are known by the cans they keep, desirable ones by the wel] kept lawns they keep. Nothing better tells the character of a community and its people than the size of its public dumps. So the town one wants to live in is busily engaged these days in clearing away the wreckage left by winter, covering up the scars and helping nature mend her wounds. $10,000,000 More for Farmers If some of the energy being expended on seeking farm relief by solving the problem of the wheat surplus could be devoted to the commercial adaptation of utilizing farm wastes, a great stride would be made in sidetrack- ing the ailments of agriculture and a considerable mea- sure of prosperity would be insured the farmers. The wheat problem would very considerably fade into the background. Agricultural laboratory research is showing some great possibility in utilization almost every day. Sometimes the discovery comes from the federal department of ; agriculture, at other times it is a revelation from a state | laboratory, and at all times the extension service stands | ready to aid in applying the process. but deals with the cutting of sugar beet tops. It is a simple matter, but it is credited with the possibility of adding $10,000,000 to the income of the beet growers. In view of the drift to lower prices for beets being paid of late years in some communities, this is an important discovery for the beet men. An Italian chemist recently advanced the theory that sugar is concentrated principally in the heart of the beet. Dr. Ernest Reed, professor of botany at Syracuse uni- versity, began to study this question, and has found that the supposedly barren “tops” of the beets, heretofore thrown away as valueless, are rich in sugar content. At least one-tenth of the potential crop has been left to rot on the ground in the form of discarded tops, which by a simple method of handling can be saved for the mill, while the leaves, which are worthless, are thrown away. The question now is whether the beet farmers will take advantage of this finding and adopt new ways of treatment. If they do, says Dr. Reed, they will increase their sugar output by 10 per cent. Heretofore farmers have been rather slow in following scientific advice. They are naturally conservative as a class, preferring old methods to new, reluctant to change their processes. But if they are once shown by authoritative example they will follow the lead. A single crop will convert them to the new mode. About five million pairs of glasses are sold every year, just to help our looks. If you knew the fact you could convict most anyone of being crazy.

[__Réitorial Comment ‘| William Howard Taft (Washington Post) William Howard Taft’s place in the hearts of Ameri- cans was established long ago, when he began his service for the country. His qualities as a man and his ability as an official, judicial and executive, won for him the highest esteem of the people. His genuineness, his sin- cerity, his capacity for friendship, his greatness of spirit, all were recognized in his earlier assignments to duty. It may perhaps be the judgment of posterity that Wil- liam Howard Taft was not one of the “great” presidents, in terms of achievements, and that he was possibly not one of the “great” chief justices in terms of profundity of judicial reasoning. But there will never be dissent from the present judgment that he was one of the most valuable public servants America has ever known and one of the most beloved of Americar: throughout his career. Prize Ring Management (New York Post) A year or two ago one of the national worries was the “billion-dollar prize fight.” The purses were so huge and the tickets so costly that those of us whom Wells would call “the Godsakers” were shouting that “something ought to be done about it.” The Florida fight recently between Sharkey of Boston and Scott of England shows that something has been done about it. Nature has re- established its balance. The men were mismated; the ballyhoo was weak; the management was bad, the re- fereeing worse and the fight itself one of the worst . Also the promoters are said to have taken a loss of $50,000. This is the second big fight “bloomer” that Florida has known. Giving the fight to the Ameri- can, when the Englishman claimed a foul, will not help international good feelings in circles which, if we may say 80, are more interested in navel than in naval affairs. Also the bout will not “help the fight game” in its im- mediate standing in New York. But it is quite possible that it may tend to reestablish the same proportions that governed the man, Tex Rickard; learn that the success great business man, was. founded upon management, management and again management. : Ideas in Chains { The Silver Lining of the Spring Rain Clouds | UP The latest announcement of a means for adding to the farmers’ income is not a new use for corn stalks Today Is the ‘Anniversary of On March 19, 1813, David Living- stone, famous missionary and explor- er, and said to be the first to “lift the veil from the ‘Dark Continent,” was born at Blantyre, Scotland.

A minute or two later, after his chief’s sleepy growl had come over the wire, Dundee recounted the dis- covery of Doris Matthews’ murder in as few words as possible. “Murler at Hillcrest!” Strawn interrupted early in the reeital. “You didn’t get bored with nothing to do, and kill the girl yourself, did you, Bonnie?” > But when the brief story was fin- ished Captain Strawn was not in a jocular mood. He issued orders grimly: “Get back on the scene of the crime immediately, and don't let Crosby out of your sight till I arrive. You say the butler’s with him now? Good!

Undoubted- ly Wickett had come to Hillcrest and the Berkeleys since the middle of July; otherwise, 1£ Wickett took any interest in crime news at all, he must have seen Strawn's name daily in connection with the mur- ders at the Rhodes House, But Wickett was speaking, tremu- lously: “Mr. Crosby and I have been talking about the poor girl in there, sir. You saw her for a moment last night yourself, sir. I’m sure you will agree with us eat she was a—a little darling, sir.” “Yes, she was a very beautiful girl,” Dundee answered huskily. “You knew her, too, Mr. Crosby? I believe I heard you talking about her with Mrs, Lambert last night.” Seymour Crosby pocketed his handkerchief, but his somber brown eyes glistened with fresh tears as he answered unsteadily: “Yes, I knew her very well indeed. She was my—wife’s maid for several years. Phyllis—Mrs. Crosby—was extremely fond of little Doris, and so was L But—if you'll forgive me, Mr. Dundee—I don’t believe I can talk about her—yet.” “Pardon me, sir,” Wickett spoke. “I see a special delivery boy com-' ing up the driveway.

Good old Strawn!” N° time to read them now, al- though he was keen to refresh his memory of the briefly sensa- tional “Crosby case.” Strawn and his men might arrive any minute, and his chief must not catch him disobeying orders. It was dreary waiting, with that still, wet body on the bench, and the odor of the perfume pouring over them, with every gust of the now brisk south wind, But at last the ordeal was ended. Three cars, with the initials “P. D.” on their doors, swept up the driveway and curved round the house to the east. Climbing out of the first car, Cap- tain Strawn apparently gave orders to his police retinue to sit tight and await further orders, for he was alone as he strode across the clipped green lawn. “Well, boy, what's the lay?” Strawn asked. “Any facts you didn’t tell me over the phone?” Briefly, but omitting no essential detail, Dundee told of seeing Clo- rinda Berkeley steal out of the house the night before; of Dick Berkeley's proposed rendezvous with the murdered girl, and of Dick's absence from his room throughout the night. “Hmm!” = Strawn _ considered, frowning. “Wonder if those two facts are connected?

The conformation of the various muscles, bones, and tissues, and the habitual postures we assume, are all the re- Le of our physical and mental hab- The one who is shapelessly thin is 80, possibly, because of a tendency in that direction, but many errors of life on the physical and mental plane have only served to exaggerate the natural tendency. The thin person is generally nervous and irritable, and the proper practice of thought control will tend to overcome these nervous habits and assist in c6rrecting met- abolism. This type is so active phy- sicaly that they burn up too much muscular and nerve tissue. Regulat- ed periods of rest will bring about a gain in veight, and relaxed feeling of repressed strength. The one inclined to obesity is liable to be lazy mentally and physically. Too much relaxation with this type will encourage the gaining of more weight, with a sluggishness of mind and @ more misshapen body with per- haps a protruding abdomen and an ill-proportioned figure. Less food and more exercise will easily restore the body to a symmetrical form. One who sits at a desk all day often finds after a few years that weight is accumulating around his mid-sec- tion, If his work requires so much of this sitting posture, the only cure will be found in taking a long walk each day, increasing the distance until the excess baggage is removed. Time for this will be found in the early morn- ing or just before dinner in the eve- ning. If hours of work seem to in- terfere, give up an hour or more from your work for this profitable and pleasant exercise, and you will be richly repaid in more “pep” both men- tally and physically.

Also, why should she take it with her on @ rendezvous with her mis- tress’ son?” “By me!” Strawn shrugged. “But you yourself say she was killed with the perfume flask, or at least stunned with a blow which broke the flask before she was dumped into the lake. It'll be up to the coroner to determine the cause of death, and I suppose he'd better get busy as soon as he arrives.” “Right!” Strawn agreed. “But now at the risk of Crosby’s think- ing you are too thick with the po- lice, I want you to go and have an- other look in his room. Take care not to spread the alarm, however, and if young Berkeley's there, have him come to-the summerhouse im- mediately.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Nerve Degeneration Question: C. T. S. writes: “My brother is afflicted with what the doctor diagnoses as ‘Chronic Degen- eration of the Nerves.’ He also says there is no cure, and that all he can do is to stave off the progress of the disease for a little while. Would you be kind enough to tell me if there is anything that can be done to cure this disease?” Answer: Any chronic degeneration of nerves must come from a definite toxic condition present in the patient. Whether or not the cause of such poisoning can be ascertained, it is still Possible to get rid of the poisons which have accumulated and thus temporarily stop the nerve degener- ation. A good diagnostician should be able to discover the real causes back of the toxic condition which produced the degeneration and thus the patient should be able to prevent further trouble. Fibrous Foeds Question: J. S. writes: “Kindly let me know the foods that are fibrous.” Answer: The foods that are usually spoken of as being fibrous are prin- cipally the non-starchy vegetables, also including such tubers as potatoes, turnips, parsnips and beets. Endocarditis Question: Mrs. A. writes: “My sor. passed away quite suddenly. The at- tending physician said he had bac- terial endocarditis embolism. Will you kindly explain what this means?” Answer: The doctor simply meant that your son died because of some bacterial infection which produced an inflammation of certain parts of the heart. Your doctor should be able to tell you his theory about the source -|of infection. 4 (Copyright, 1929, by The Bell Syndicate, Inc.) | BARBS The Chicago man who was evicted from a theater for making love too fervently to his wife was merely tak- ing her for a bride. _ 28 e “Chaplin to Make Silent Movies.” Headline.
