PREACHERS AS SOLDIERS. Commenting upon the circumstance that Rev.| William G. Everson, recently installed as pastor of | Portland’s big First Bapist Church to which he came from an equally prominent pulpit in Denver, is a Major-General, the Seattle Times asks if one can serve the Christian religion and the military branch of his country at the same time with equal fidelity when much stress is being laid on the Divine in- junction commanling “Peace on earth.” The Times concludes: It can be done. General Everson’s is not the only case of the kind. Seattle well remembers the Rev. Arthur M. Hyde, as rector of St. Clement's Episcopal Church and also as Colonel of artillery in the United States Army. The World War claimed his undivided attention to military service; and with that duty well done, he resumed his pastoral work in another city. Such men as these and many others find no conflict between religion and patriotism. ‘The noble work they carry on, the fine ex- amples they set, show in impressive contrast with the wobblings of a sickly pacifism. The Times could have cited other examples to establish its contention that people have seen no inconsistency in service of country and religion at the same time. In fact, so far as principle is concerned, there is no difference between praying God to bring success to the arms of one’s country and fighting in the army for that success. A conspicuous instance of joint service in the army and the church is that of Lieut.-Gen. Leonidas Polk, a very distinguished soldier in the Confederate Army during the Civil War. Until he was killed by a Union cannon shot at Pine Mountain in 1864 Lieut.-Gen. Polk was the Protestant Episcopal Bishop of Louisiana, Bishop and Gen. Polk was a cousin of President James K. Polk of the TUnited States. His son William M. Polk was a famous New York physician. His grandson Frank Lyon Polk is now a very famous American lawyer and diplomat. In Wilson’s time Frank Polk was Solicitor of the State Department, Under-Secretary of State, Acting Secretary of State and member of the American Peace Commission at Paris when the Versailles Peace Treaty was negotiated. NEW YORK BANKS REDUCE INVEST- MENT INTEREST. {the rise of machinery? |them themselves? many's, 23 per cent. larger than Great Britain's and nearly double that of France. These figures also indicate the extent of the shrinkage of international shipping. Senator Bratton of New Mexico, has moved to abolish the Department of Commerce which was made so important by Mr. Hoover. He may not be able to make a go of it. American Presidential Cabinets are smaller than those in most countries already. Twenty-two States have ratified the “Lame Duck” Constitutional Amendment. Fourteen more States are needed and more than twice that num- ber of State Legislatures are now in session. There seems to be no doubt but that Democratic Senators and Representatives in Congress are in need of the leadership of Mr. Roosevelt. They may not do a great deal until that leadership is in the White House. A Health Record. (New York Times.) If public health is to be measured by the death rate, it is the best ever known in this city. It is much better than in the prosperous period ending in 1929; better even than in the previous record of 1927. This is confirmed by “that most sensitive indicator of a community’s healfulness,” the infant death rate. It has fallen every year since 1927, and there was a marked decrease in 1932 compared with 1931, and a “new low record.” When the chief causes of death are analyzed it is discovered that, while there has been a larger number of deaths from diseases of the heart, arteries and kidneys, and from cancer, the increase is “only ! apparent.” More people live to the age in which these diseases afflict mankind. On the whole, the statistics are “good news for adults,” for there is a distinct reduction for them as well as for children over a considerable period of years. More persons live longer, though the maximum span of life is not increased. SYNOPSIS: Leila Cane ex- pects Farrell Armitage to pro- pose; instead he tells her he lieve Barbara Quentin, whom he had snatched up from the path of a truck a few hours before. Leila becomes ally rather than enemy; she tells Farrell that she suspects the means by which her father, Sir James| Cane, became wealthy, after his two partners, Barbara’s and Mark Lodely’s fathers, died bankrupt. It was to make good- Farrell's fortune that Quentin and Lodely bankrupted them- selves, years before. Now ' the wealthy Farrell faces the fact Barbara is engaged to marry the cripple Mark Lodely, in five days. And Mark just has has a bad fall. CHAPTER &. . LEILA MAKES A BARGAIN There came faintly through the house the sound of a door being opened and shut. Leila snatched up an ermine wrap. “Let’s become unavoidably ab- sent,” she suggested, hurriedly un- latching a French window. “And you think? Father hasn't quite the stamnia to relinquish the son- in-law of his prayers without mak- ing a grievance of it.” Armitage followed her into the garden. It lay dark and arcinat- ic against the fringe of fire and the autumn chill—that last bitter- sweet breath of yellowing leaf and dead flowers—stirred Leila’s black A New Frontier. (Olympia Olympian.) Nobody knows how much land has been taken back by the States for taxes from its former owners. But some indication may be had from the fact that South Dakota recently sold more than 5,000,000 acres under the auctioneer’s hammer. If is estimated that 20 per cent. of the State's total agricultural acreage will be removed from the tax lists when the counties take title. There’s a problem for you! We have grown accustomed to the thought that public lands were exhausted. Are we to have great areas of public lands again? If so, what are we going to do with them? A way must be found to dovetail this new factor into the unemployment situation. Can the States re-sell this land on long-time payments and easy terms to workers forced out of city jobs by Can they perhaps farm Can they be State-forested? Here is a chance for some pioneering in State Legislatures this winter. Railroads Looking Upward. (Boston News Bureau.) Measured optimism is expresed by railroad presi- |dents discussing prospects for their industry. Daniel |Willard of. Baltimore and Ohio asserts he cannot believe the country will remain permanently on a “50 per cent. basis,” implying railroads will share in any recovery. He expressed himself as “‘optim- istic” for the railroads. J. M. Davis, head of Lackawanna, says “business has shown an upturn” and the depression “has begun to fold up.” E. E. Loomis, President of Lehigh Valley, and R. B. White of Central of New Jersey, urge reform in com- petitive conditions. J. J. Pelley, President of New Haven, notes improvement and believes it should continue gradually. L. A. Downs, President of Illinois Central, says when the depression begins to wear away and unfair competitive conditions are removed, railroads will be fortified as never before to make great and immediate progress. New York banks and security houses have an- nounced that interest on mortgages of New York real estate have been reduced to 5 per cent. from the 5% per cent. prevailing last year. The reduction in the rate is due to the demand for mortgage invest- ments by the banks. A canvass of the various New York commercial banks revealed that they had $50,- 000,000 awaiting investment in mortgages based on current appraisals by recognized experts. Construction projects in the Far West are ex- pected to make a market for a considerable amount of money that is seeking employment. It is esti- mated that Far Western construction in 1933 will amount to $800,000,000. This, it is believed, will help to stay further reduction of steel consumption which was lower in 1932 than in any year since 1901, BALFOUR WOULD BORROW AMERICAN MONEY TO PAY U. 8. Sir Arthur Balfour, leatler of the British steel industry, wants Great Britain to float a long term Joan in the United States from the proceeds of which to pay the United States a lump sum in lieu of her war debts. He says he believes that the maximum that Great Britain will be able to pay is $1,000,000,000. He thinks she could pay that with 3% per cent. interest if the loan would be for sixty years with an option to retire it at an earlier date. The interest on this loan would be $35,000,~ 000 a year. Balfour said: This form of settlement would not upset exchanges and would have to be final. It is somewhat in proportion to the settlement Nothing New Under the Sun. (Seattle Times.) Someone has discovered that some forty centuries ago a doleful scribe in ancient Egypt took pen in hand to chronicle a sad era in his country’s history. He wrote: “Scanty is gold; craftsmen are without work; the reaper of the harvest gets nothing. I show thee a land turned upside down.” Evidently thuman experience has not changed one particle in four thousand years. Economic fluftuations are new to every generation, but they are old in history. Fighting Influenza. (Cincinnati Enquirer.) The influenza is here in Cincinnati as it is present everywhere throughout the Nation. The Board of Health and local physicians have issued their warnings and advice. The menace can be met and fairly conquered by intelligent cooperation on the part of citizens. Men and women and chil- dren should be properly clad and fed, should avoid the hazards of the inclement season, should dress warmly and eat sparingly. They should avoid con- tact with those already afflicted. They should call and consult with a physician upon the appearance of even slight symptoms of cold. They should keep the feet dry, refrain from worry and danger. In the South American jungles, barking snakes, roaring fish and screaming ants have been discov- ered. But they say that pink elephants which sing soprano have been found right here at home.— (Olympia Olympian.) Not all is lost. If President Hoover and Presi- dent-Elect Roosevelt had not tried to get together they might never have known how far apart they made with Germany regarding reparations, and that settlement, of course, was forced by economic conditions as the debt settle- ment will finally have to be. AMERICAN EXPORTS SHRINK. While the United States was still last year leader among nations in the value of its exports there was a shrinkage from the year before of 35 per cent. and from the five-year average of 62 per cent. The quantity of exports was about 20 per cent. less than 1931, The average prices of exports showed a de- crease of about 18 per cent. from those prevailing in 1931. Ranking next to the United States in ex- ports was Germany, then United Kingdom and then France. The American total of exports, amounting to ,“WM, was 17 per ‘cent. greater than Ger- were.—(Toledo Blade.) Russia announces the Soviet Five-Year Plan is a success.

I want her to marry me.” “Wanting her won't mean get- ting her.” “I've generally got what I want provided I've worked for it.” “Youre mad, my dear. Mil- lionairing has turned your head. You've bought so much—so many emeralds for so many women- that you think you can buy Bar- bara.” “Going to help me?” She regarded him through the heavy shadows. “Do you feel sure you'll get your emerald’s worth?” “That’s. cheap and nasty of ‘you, Leila. You know well enough wi I'd like to give you something y care about.” She walked on. He had to keep close to her shoulder to hear her words. “All right! T1 help you fail Don't hate me afterwards, though. And don't forget the emerald.” “We've a good deal to be thank- ful for,” pronounced Mrs. Lodely. “Apart for the shakin,’ Mark’s none the worse. Exceptin’ in his temper,” she added, with the laugh so familiar to Barbara that it was the first thing she expected from Mark’s mother. Neither Barbara, in her chair by the fire, nor Mrs, Lodely, coming forward to bestride the hearth in her mannish way, were big women; but they gave the appearance of filling the sitting room of Kings Barn. The reason lay in the room. ‘There were a great many small tables and large chairs in every corner and on everyledge stood bric-a-bac, and the over-flowered well-paper was plastered with wa- ter colors of no merit or interest whatsoever. When Mrs. Lodely moved an arm to take her cig- arette case out of her pocket, she did it gingerly. Even so, a china ornament on the mantel shelf rat- tled and slipped dangerously near the edge. Barbara smiled, but it was a dutiful smile. She had never—in all the years of her love and pity made up her mind about Mark's mother. Sometimes she liked her immensely. Sometimes—no, it was ridiculous. Mrs. Lodely couldn't after all, help her loud, frequent laugh and her everlasting tweeds and the drawl that had been “the thing,” when she rode to hounds in her girlhood, She couldn't help these things—and on the other side you'd better leave tomorrow, don’t| “{will be with you two, for Mark—she ha{ never quiie| @ Author of “YOU CAN'T MARRY~ of the medal there was her un- faltering courage in facing poverty' and loneliness and Mark. . . |can?” she asked. “You bet! My only change of gemn away from this hole! What about Christmas?” “Oh, before then, Judy, please!” “If I come at Christmas I shall only be givin’ you a couple of months to yourselves. Short {enough?” “Why, pretend that we shall be the average, conventional honey: mooners?” demanded Barbara, her irritation returning. “Our mar- riage—everything—is different from (most marriages and our lives will have to be different now.” She paused. “I wonder if you both thoroughly realize that my job keeps me out all day, every day?” ““Course we do,” returned Mrs. Lodely heartily. “But Mark won't mope for his shabby old mother even if he is left alone at home. He'll make friends. Fill the h~se |with 'em. You'll come bac¥ to find ‘em all smokin' and drinkin’ and talking—" “We n't be able to afford {very much hospitality of that kind | Judy . Not at first, anyway.” | “My dear gel, Mark naturally won't sponge on you for things like smokes and drinks—he'll pay for ‘em out of his own pocket.” “Oh, I know,” agreed Barbara jhurriedly. “And in case of emergency, there is his legacy, the three hundred |pounds from his Aunt Alice.” She puffed out smoke again and laughed. “Funny to remember I once paid that for a fur coat!” “Poor Judy!” At once Barbara was filled with the passion of pity that Mark and his mother could always arouse in her. “Dear Judy, life hasn't been very fair to you.” sh “Look here, Babs, if you don't mind my sayin’ so—I believe Mark feels it a bit when you talk about ‘tiny’ rooms and ‘my’ income and all that. Of course, in theory, there’s no earthly reason why a woman shouldn't. make more mon- ey than a man and spend it on ‘both of 'em, but the way things in an old cathedral city like Texeter—well, any man would feel it. Especially if he's as sensitive as Mark, Mark will feel it very bady.” Barbara looked down into the fire. No sense of arguing with Judy on such a subject as this. Instead— “I must be more careful,” she agreed lightly, and added — “I think I'll go up to him. It's only just nine and he never sleeps be- fore midnight, does he?” “Not often. But I don't know whether—he's in a wicked mood.” concluded Mrs. Lodely, and this time her laugh covered a distinct ill-ease. ‘“Poor Mark!” said Barbara soft- ly and left the room. Mrs. Lodely listened to her foot- steps on the stairs for a moment and then, pitching away her cigar- ette, sat down in the empty chair by the fire and took her closely cropped grey head into her hands. It was the attitude of despair, the pose of defeat. But when she moved slightly and showed her eyes to the fire and the crowded room and the au- tumn evening outside, they were not the eyes of the conquered. They were absorbed, calculating, patient and, withal, fundamentally stupid. “Once they're married—" she said faloud, checked herself with a cau- tious glance around her, and fell jagain into her reverie. Barbara, on her way to Mark, turned aside into Judy's room to borTOw some powder and Tun g [f e ——— comb through her hair. Also, to brace herself against the moment when Mark’s mood should turn its cruelty upon her and exhaust it- self upon her steadfastness.....
