THE EVENING STAR., WASHINGTON, D. €., MORDAY, JX NUARY 11, 1932 A Sermon for Today BY REV. JOHN R. GUNN, Rendering Nation Its Due. 5 esar the things that are cacender_§3iR O ilal i ‘ This is & command to render to the state the things that are the state's. Christ would have us recognize that there are some things which we as citi- zens owe to the land where our lot hap- pens to be cast. In America there are many who seem to think that the state owes them everything, and that they owe the state nothing. While enjoying the blessings of citizenship in this great Jand, they do not seem to feel any ob- ligation to contribute anything to- |wl.rd the upbuilding and maintain- ing of its civilization and benefits. They do not realize their favored lot in being American citizens. Is (hi! true of me? Is it true of you? Certainly there are very many of us who should take this to our- selves personally. We have come too easily into the heritage which is ours. We have had many benefits, both ma- terial and spiritual. which have been dropped into our hands as by some fairy. Our liberties have come to us far too easily. We did not have to fight for them and suffer for them and die for them as did our fathers. It is again one of The, of poisonous _stings things too sweet. There is need today for a great awakening of patriotism. In times of war when the Nation is threatened most of us are ready to lay aside everything and fight for its defense. We are facing a condition today as perilous as war, The Government wrestles with problems that are baf- fling to the wisest of our statesmen. If there was ever a time when our country needed us, it is now. The need today is for real statesmen— Men whom e lust of office cannot kill; Men whom the spoils of office cannot buy; Men who possess opinions and a will: Men' who have honor; men who will not ie. It we love our country, if we would fight for it in time of war, let us fight for it now. As true patriots, grateful for the blessings and privi- leges which are ours as citizens, let us render unto the nation its due. In this hour of national crisis, let us be loyal to the last degree. “BONERS” Humorous Tid-Bits School Papers. From The brain is a hollow muscle.

It is “the intelligence quotient.” It is designated by the sym- bol, I. Q. Whatever that I Q. is, it seems to be passed on from generation to gen- eration in very much the same way as the color of the hair, eyes, shape of head or general bodily build. There is, of course, in all these things some slight varistion from generation to generation. The founder of the eugenics move- ment, Galton, discovered that a group of 977 eminent men had 332 eminent close relatives, such as fathers, broth- ers or sons, and 203 eminent but more remote relatives, such as grandfathers, grandsons, uncles or nephews. From this Galton estimated that any 977 men DOROTHY DIX’S LETTER BOX D EAR DOROTHY DIX—I am a business girl and lunch every day with one of my fellow workers, & young woman who is highly intelligent, whose private life is comfortable and happy and yet who is the most disgruntled person I have ever met. She does not like music, books, animals, flowers or anything beautiful. She possesses no_enthusiasm for anything. She never pays a compliment or Bdmmires anything. She criticizes everything in which she can find a flaw. How can you understand a girl like that? MISS A. C. W. Answer—I don't think any normal person can understand her, bacause she is of a neurotic type or else she and women who adopted that kind is & poser. I have known both men of attitude toward life because they thought that it showed that they were superior to the general run of human nitwits, who were easily pleased by such a simple thing as a gorgeous sunset or & towering mountain range and who could find pleasure in such childish amusement as reading a good book or seeing a good play or taking a nice ride. Mention a play to such & person and he will say it is rotten. Show him a picture and he will find fault beautiful woman and he will call her that others admire with its technique. Present him to a a dumb-bell. He sneers at everything He disbelieves everything that others accept, and he does this because he thinks it is smart. I think you will find that this is the secret of your friend's conduct. She wants to be thought clever, cynical, sophisticated. She wants to startle people and be different from the great run of women who love beautiful things and are interested in every phase of life and who have a thousand enthusiasms. For any one not to have enthusiasms, not to be interested in things, never to find any good in anything, because it shows that one is not capable of appreciation and has stupidity, is not a sign of intelligence, but of not the brains to understand. The highest intelligence is that of Kipling, who “thanked God because in all His world he had found nothing common nor unclean.” When a woman is never willing to pay a compliment it is because she is eaten up with envy and because her soul is little and sordid and narrow and incapable of a generous emotion. a woman such as you describe is worth bothering about. Personally, I don't think Let her go her own cold, hard, loveless way and you find some more human companion. DOROTHY DIX. (Copyright, 1932.) The Woman Who Makes Good BY HELEN WOODWARD.

I want to tell you about what hap- pened to a friend of mine, because it's as happy as a fairy story. It seems too good to be true. She has _three children and has been tragically poor. One year she lived all alone with her three children on a mountain top surrounded by snow, with her nearest neighbor_ quarter of a mile away. Several years ago she came to stay with me for a little visit. It was the middle of the Winter and the wore a shabby straw hat. Her blue serge suit was far too thin for the weather and shone with wear. But nothing mattered—she was perfectly willing to wear the strew het and the thin suit as long as the children were growing up well and happy. ‘Then her tiny source of income gave out altogether. Things looked pretty black. She is thoroughly trained in the restaurant business and had, be- Helen Woodward, ADVERTISEMENT fore the birth of her children, run & tea room successfully.

BEDTIME STORIE Angry Hunters. | The more unjust the cause you'll find The quicker anser grips the mind —Old Mother Nature Reddy Fox was in Farmer Brown's The door had been open just enough for him to slip in, and no sooner was he inside than the door was closed. Outside two dogs were making a great racket as they scratched | at the door and barked in tremendous excitement. Over in the house Bowser the hound and Flip the terrier were making almost as much noise as they scratched at the back door, for they‘ wantéd to get out and see what these | strange dogs were about. | Reddy never had been in there be- | fore. He had peeked in, but never hac he ventured in. He wouldn't have done it this time had there been any- | where else to go. There hadn't been. Those two dogs were too close on his heels and he weas in no condition for the long run up to his home in the Old Pasture, and he knew it. Those dogs would have caught him long be- fore he could have reached it, for they were fresh, while Reddy had already had one long run for his life. So he had taken the one chance that offered and had darted through that opening into the barn. Now, as he crouched behind some | barrels in a corner and listened to the | din outside, his heart went pit- t, pit-a-pat with fright and he was al most in despair. He had escaped .for the moment, but in a way he was He was little better than a | prisoner in that barn. He could hear | a voice shouting at those dogs and he knew that voice; it was the voice of | Farmer Brown's Boy. He had heard | it many times. Now that voice sounded angry. In & few minutes he heard other The three hunt- ers had come up. At first those voices sounded merely excited and trium- | phant. Yes, sir, that is the way they | sounded. | “Well, I guess we hsve got him this time!” cried one. “One of you hold th* dogs while I | go in and drive him out ” said another. Then the third man poke and his | voice sounded angry. ‘‘What are you | locking that door for, Senny!” he de- | manded. | “To keep you out,” relurted Farmer | Brown's Boy, and his voice also sounded | a ngry. “What do you mean? That is our Fox!” sald another. “Not until you get him, and you won't get him while he is in this barn,” | retorted Farmer Brown's Boy. ‘Now, what are you going to do about it?" “We are going to break that lock and get that Fox. That is what we are going to do about it!" retorted one of the hunters, and there was an ugly sound to his voice. ! “Oh, no, you are not,” replied Farmer | Brown's Boy. | “Who will stop us?” hunter. “The law will” retorted Farmer Brown's Boy. “You are trespassing. | No hunting is allowed on this farm and | there are plenty of signs to warn you | of that fact. Besides, if that Fox be- growled the ADVERTISEMENT By- ‘Thornton W. Burgess. longs to anybody it belorzs to us herg | on this farm, for his home is up in ot Old Pasture. So the sooner you geb out the better." “The boy is right about the trosh passing.” spoke up one of the coo of the hunters. ‘He has got us thers’ all right”” Then he began to reason with Farmer Brown's Boy. “Look here, boy.” said he, “don't you know that Foxes are nothing but vermin and nught to be killed?” “No, I don't!” retorted Farmer Brown's Boy hotly. “That Fox has lived on this farm for several years and NOW AS HE CROUCHED BEHIND SOME BARRELS IN A CORNER AND LISTENED TO THE DIN OUTSIDE HIS HEART WENT PIT- A-PAT. I hope he will live here for several years more.” “I suppose you raise chickens to feed him,” sneered another hunter. “He has caught a chicken now and then, but he has paid ten times over for all he has caught,” retorted Farmer Brown's Boy. “If I don't keep my chickens shut up when he can't get them, then it is up to me.” All this Reddy Fox heard, but of course he didn’t understand a word of it. Perhaps he would have felt better if he had.
