(Official City, State and County Newspaper) Foreign Representatives SMALL, SPENCER, LEVINGS & BREWER (Incorporated) CHICAGO NEW YORK BOSTON The Rainy Day In these times when everyone takes thought for the future es well as for the immediate present, the te- port of Bishop William Lawrence, who has charge of the clergymen’s pension fund of the Protestant Epis- copal Church excites comment. It shows that more than $7,500,000 has been paid out to beneficiaries of the fund since it was organized in 1917 and that, as a result of the fund's steady growth, the minimum ‘ge allotment has been increased from $600 to $1,000 a year. The Present assets of the fund arc §28,- 000,000 and payments are on the basis of $1,000,000 a year. The pension idea was adopted by the church in 1916 and a fund of $5,- 000,000 was sought to start with. The ‘mount actualy raised, however, ap- Proached $9,000,000 and the proposal. practically all of the feathers being used for adornment are chicken feathers. As a result, the savory roast which centers the dining room table on Sunday may also provide the adornment for the new hat which graces milady’s closet tomorrow. The reason for this situation is found in the ingenuity of the cloth- ing manufacturers and the birds for their plumage or of using the feathers of most wild birds. Ants Are Clever Too When man ponders on his effic- iency and the manner in which he 00| has made the beasth of the earth, the sun, winds and waves work for him, 00! he might ponder a little about the ants before deciding that he is 80 superior after all: King Solomon, with a view to mak- i ing his people industrious, advised them to go to the ant, to ponder its 9] Ways and be wise. He could have had no way of knowing that the ant already had copied after man in Point of making others work for him. It all comes out in @ recent report by Dr. F. Okland, a Germar scien- tist, who followed the ants to their hills and observed their ways close- ly over a long period of time. The first thing he found was that the ant is a prodigious eater, increasing its weight by half at one meal. The next thing he discovered was that the ant’s diet consists almost wholly of sugar. The third and most! surprising thing was that it obtains this sugar from the domesticated animal of the ant family or the plant louse. These are free to graze on vegetation even to the topmost leaf of the topmost tree, but always there, is an ant standing guard and they are constantly drained by the ants of the sugar they obtain from their feeding. By counting the ants that visited certain trees and by weighing hun- gry ants going up them and gorged ants coming down, Dr. Okland esti- mated that, through aphid slaves, ants in a year sap from the averag tree 13 pounds of sugar. ie Editorial Comment Editorials printed below show the trend of thought by other editors. They are published without re to whether they agree or disi with The Tribune's policie: The Oracle of Delhi (Minneapolis Tribune) Out of the ancient land of India) has risen a man who speaks to this got away to a flying start. Since then it has been maintained and in- creased by each parish and ecclesi- astical organization contributing 7.5 per cent of its pastor's salary. Reviewing the 14 years of the fund's history, Bishop Lawrence says in vart: “The gift of $8,500,000 was a great event, a token of the sup- Port of the Church. A far great- er token, however, is that during the fourteen years over ninety- nine and a half per cent of all | the pension assessments which could have been received from the parishes and official organi- zations, have been received. “Looking back through these fourteen years and supported by two fresh and complete re-stud- jes of vital statistics and actuar- fal calculations, the fund has included the entire class, of cler- gy which was at first excluded and every widow that can be dis- covered. To accomplish this the fund has paid out $2,312,000 to these clergymen and widows and set up in reserve, to carry them through to the end of their lives, $1,267,000. “It has by the use of the in- come of one million dollars been able to send as an immediate gift a check for $1,000 to the widow of every clergymen dying in active service. Who knows the relief to her given by this check coming usually before the funeral, and followed by a letter stating the amount of pension that she and her several young children will receive each month? “By use of surplus income from various sources, the fund has been able to set up reserves ac- cording to the date of each cler- gymen’s ordination and advance all of the pensions so that by duly of this year the promised age pension of $600 has been raised to an average of $993; and for the widows, exclusive of grants for minor children, to $387. There are now 5,314 active clergy and the number of pen- sioners, aged, disabled, and wid- ows, is 1,233. The Pension Fund has paid out, in these fourteen years, seven and one half mil- lion dollars. On March 9th the financial conditions were such as to justify the trustees in pro- mising that for the next few years at least the minimum amount of the age retirement pension be $1,000. Meanwhile the average salary of the clergy has from $1,200 to $2,800.” This is something of a revelation of us and shows what can some institutions to pro- their workers against the “rainy day.” ‘There are factors which apply to clergymen more than to men in oth- er lines of work and most of them contribute to the success of the pen- sion plan on a comparative basis. Churchmen aren’t supposed to be very astute financially, but if a way could be found to adopt something of the same nature to the general Populace, the demand for old-age Pensions to be paid by the states or federal government would die B-borning. Double Duty For Chanticleer Now that feathers are coming back en's apparel, the little speckled hen and her more lusty mate may be- western world about Jove and peace,| appeals to men’s reasons to abandon barbaric wars, and asks that the western world join him in obtaining independence for the people of India. That man is Mahatma Gandhi and on Sunday America heard his voice as he spoke over an international hookup of radio stations. That love of mankind, which forms the basis of the Gandhian doctrine, of nonre- sistance, is not new to this western world. Has it. not also been the core of the Christian code, according to which the actions of our western civ- ilization are presumably guided, and that has been preached to that world for centuries? Yet the Mahatma finds himself the subject for the in- dulgent smiles of the practical men of politics everywhere. First in the heart of Gandhi is, no doubt, the cause of his people. He wants for them independence; yet for him that freedom must come not as a result of war, because he does not want the laws that govern brute creation also to guide the human’ race.’ “That law is inconsistent with human dignity,” says the Mahatma. India, the land that has been involved in wars and internal struggles from the time of Alexander, sends its spokesman to London to tell the world that fighting for what one wants is “inconsistent with human dignity.” It is a revolutionary doc- trine to preach to a world that be- Meves that it is nat only consistent, but necessary, in establishing that, human dignity, to kill in the name of love. Speaking from the “innocent re- cesses” of his heart, Gandhi told his radio audience that he felt “the world is sick unto death of blood- spilling. The world is seeking a way out and I flatter myself with the be- Nef that perhaps it will be the priv- ilege of the ancient land of India to show that way out to the hungering world.” The little man of India spoke to a world that was suffering from| the backwash of the most terrible conflict in history. A world that; spends its mental force in devising’ instruments for the amicable settle- ment of disputes and at the same time is spending untold millions of its wealth to keep itself armed to the teeth. Did not Mahatma Gandhi see here an inconsistency even greater than that which he encountered in the laws of the brute that rule the human race and which he said was an affront to “human dignity?” Is that dignity much more then a pose, the Mahatma might ask himself. What was the message that the Man of India had to offer that would give to mankind a right to this dig- nity? It was the doctrine of broth- erly love, of peace, and of nonresist- ance. Is mankind any more ready to receive it today than it was when it crucified the Prince of Peace, 2,000 years ago? The motives that ani- mated the politicians who murdered that greatest of the advocates of peace are little different from those that rule the world today. That this is true may be evidenced from the Temarks of Major General James G. Harbord, addressed to a convention of the New York American Legion, who has placed in words the phil- osophy by which “human dignity” dustifies its wars: “There is in war itself,” said the major general, “something beyond mere logic and above cold reason. There is something in war-made val- ues above social comfort, above ease, and even above religion. It is the power war gives to life rising above mere life.” ‘ While there are men to preach and thousands to believe, that by killing men we may rise “above mere life,” Just what chance does the thin voice of the little Man of India have of the farmer.

The young man came forward in swinging strides. “Hilo, Travers!” he exclaimed. “Didn't know you were in town. ‘Well, how's the merry bridegroom?

Norma, this is Huntley Porter, otherwise known as Red—for rea- sons you will scarcely be able to guess. Red warbles the most ob- noxious tenor and is the best ama- teur boxer in Marlboro.” “Dee-lighted, Mrs. Travers!” There was boyish sincerity in Red Porter’s admiring eyes. Norma warmed to this rather eccentric looking youth. “Well—!” It was Natalie who cut in impatiently. “Well, what are we standing here for? Red and T are on our way to Monty's. Why don’t you join us? Jane and Thorney will be there. Monty's picked up a Cuban who does the tamba divinely. She talks about goihg into vaudeville with him. ‘Yes, really! Why don’t you and— and Mrs, Travers come along?” “Sball we, Norma?” HE wanted to go. Norma caught the eagerness in Mark's voice, the quick way he turned to hi “You -go if you want to,” she told him. “I think I'd. better go back.to the hotel. My head’s aching and I’m afraid I wouldn’t be much wood at a party.” “Why, sweet! I didn’t. know you weren't feeling well. Of course I won't leave you, Sorry,” he ad- dressed the others now. “We'll have to postpone participation in the festivities. Give Monty my lore, will you, Nat? Tell her another time we'll drop around—” The farewells were over quickly. Natalie murmured icy, ‘polite phrases, caught Porter's arm and whirled away. As she turned Norma was positive she noted an iaterchante of glances between Natalie and Mark, heard Nat Price murmur something about “take your little headache home.” “I hate to have you miss seeing your friends because of me.” Norma was looking up into Mark’s eyes. She spoke the words sincerely. * “Ob, that—! Say, I can see that gang any time. Why didn’t you tell me your head ached, Baby? Look, there's a ‘drug store on the corner. Maybe if you'd take some- thing you'd feel better.” She let him take her into the drug store. The boy at the soda fountain mixed and presented the dose in a tall glass. Norma swal- lowed the unpleasant mixture bravely, : “You'll feel better now,” Mark assured her. “We'll go back to the hotel and you can le down a while.” ‘They went out on the street.

She was not thinking of the law office as she stopped suddenly, “It was right here, Mark!” she ex: claimed. “Right here in front of the flower store. Do you remem- ber?” “Sure I do.

The rent was five dollars bigher. Mark stormed a bit at transfer- ting to such an unfashionable heighborhood, but he discovered how rents mounted elsewhere, Norma knew that Mark was wor- ried and disturbed. No need to ask when he arrived home at night whether the day had brought “luck.” She cheered him bravely. She was so sure all he needed was his chance in the world. Mark Travers’ method of hunt ing a job was far from the pro- cedure of most young men seeking work, He never looked at “help- wented” columns in newspapers. He ignored employment agencies. Mark @id not consider himself.above such thinge, He was merely self-con- scious, entirely without an idea of the business-like way to attack his problem. Each day he went to the club. He @ropped into offices where he had acquaintances, sauntered about the old haunts, always in the expecta- tion he would hear of “a good thing.” Making these rounds re- quired that a large amount of time should be spent in careless chatter. Mark was known as a good fellow. Ho tried to maintain the reputation. He stood waiting for a car oné evening during the hateful rush hour. A fat woman, arms loaded with bundles, wedged her way be- tween Mark and the street car. As he stepped back to avoid the sharp- cornered package so near his right eye ho heard a familiar whistle, Mark turned, Nat Price’s tan roadster was halted less than 10 yards away. Nat, clad in bright green, was waving. He made his ‘way to the roadster, The girl called out, “Hop in! Tl give you a lift.” Mark hesitated. “Afraid it would ‘de out of your way, Nat. We're east now.

At once the tan roadster shot forward. Ab! this was better than elinging to a swaying street car strap! Nat Grove with perfect assurance. She kept up a running fire of talk about the League's new revue, about Sid- ney’s divorce and Lottie’s wedding. As they stopped before the unim- posing apartment the girl turned impulsively. “There's something I've been wanting to say to you, Mark,” she began, “I want to tell you I think it's perfectly splendid of you to show your independence the way You have. No matter what anyone else says I’m for you!” Travers flushed. “Thanks, Nat. And thanks for the lift home.

BY DR. MORRIS FISHBEIN Editor, Journal of the American Medical Association Whether you are a bricklayer or “the big, boss” you find that it is economical to be healthy. For loss of time on account of disease or. loss of efficiency due to fatigue can be measured in terms of dollars and cents. Therefore men should have an actual knowledge of their state of health, and this can be had by a pro- per physical examination. Granted that such an examination reveals no serious conditions demanding im- mediate correction, everyone ought to know enough about personal hygiene to conduct his life to the best advan- tage. The human body is a combination of cells bound together in various) systems, including for example the muscles, the bones, the circulation of the blood, the nervous system and the digestive tract. These interlock- ing cogs of the human machine will usually get along satisfactorily if left’ largely alone, particularly since there is within the cells the power of re- pair—an ability that does not exist, for instance, in such machinery as can be found in an automobile or an oill-heating furnace. Then, too, man has the intelligence which makes it possible for him to realize when things go wrong and to take steps toward correction. Regular physical examinations are important primarily for the detec- tion of remediable defects or of dis- eases in their early stages, but sec- such examinations may af- ford a feeling of confidence in one’s state of health which means freedom from worry.
