SIDELIGHTS By MARCY B. DARNALL, Former Editor of The Key West Citizen The late Tom Watson, of Georgia, onee declared that “the whole secret of success in politics is to remember that it is impossible to exaggerate the stupidity of the public.” The bunk which certain poli- ticlans succeed in making the voters be- lieve convinces us that old Tom was more than half right. A South Dakota newspaper asks: “Would you send news of a death in a cir- cular letter? Would you put news of your wife’s party on a moving picture screen? Would you use a hotel register to tell that you had enlarged your store? Would you tack the news of your daughter’s wedding on a telephone pole? Then, why in heck don’t you put your advertising in the news- paper, too? One cogent reason for giving up smoking is advanced by Emma Goldman, the famed anarchist. She says that the first time she went to jail she found it most painful to be deprived of tobacco and that inasmuch as she never was sure when she would go to jail again, she decided it best to give up the habit altogether. Real mothers-in-law are permitted a certain amount of leeway in messing up family affairs, but a Glasgow judge has ruled that a mere prospective mother-in- law must deny herself such liberties. Hence, Mrs. G. H. Stewart, who interfered FUTURE GAS WARFARE It is evident that chemistry will play an important part in any future war. Any program of national preparedness which | does not provide adequate means for meet- | ing gas attacks and other forms of chemi- j cal warfare is sadly deficient in a branch | of military activity which may prove of vital importance. And inasmuch as the best defense is a vigorous offensive, our forces should be prepared to carry the fight into. the enemy’s camp. While the use of poisonous gases is banned by the nations who were parties to the arms reduction conference held in 1922, similar agreements were in effect be- fore the World War, yet they did not pre- vent the employment of these destructive agencies when the urge of necessity came. As a matter of fact all the leading nations are today busy with the development of chemical war equipment, regardless of their pledges not to use it. Dr. James F. Norris, former president of the American Chemical Society, sounded a note of warning on this subject when he said: “‘When the final pressure comes a nation will use any means available to save its life.” He urged that our army continue to study and develop the means’ of chemical warfare, with adequate : propriations for the as. other armies are doing. A We do not want to seé another war. We did not want to see the last one. But another war may come—is almost certain to come sooner or later. We should make reasonable preparations to meet any emer- gency by developing every branch of mod- ern warfare. To fail in this would he to in- vite disaster, should war unhappily -be foreed upon us. purpose, A WISCONSIN STAR One of the scholastic stars of the young generation is Miss Mary Willis of Wisconsin, whose attainments were de- seribed in a recent news item, which noted that she had received her master of arts degree at the age of 18 and was soon to become a full-fledged Ph. D. Her precocity was manifested early, and when only 18 months old she knew most of the better-known nursery rhymes and several poems. She began her formal education at 4; and read much standard literature, including “Pilgrim's Progress,” some Shakespeare, the Bible, a book of ancient history and other works before she was 6; finished grammar school at 9 and was graduated from high school at 13 as valedictorian of her class. Her college training was received at the University of Wisconsin. : Miss Willis is the daughter of Preston Willis, high school principal of her home town, to whose guidance in her early years her rapid advancement is no doubt largely due. While her scholarship is not unpre- cedented for one of her age, it is most un- usual, and with continued application in some congenial field of effort she should go far.

CHAPTER THE SIXTH. 3X days. after the last Miracle of the loaves and fish, desus Christ went up into a high mountain, .with only three of the Disciples—Peter, James and John. And while he was speaking to ‘hem there, suddenly His face began to shine as if it were the Sun, and the robes he wore, which were white, glistened and shone like sparkiing sil- ver. and he stood before them like an angel. A bright cloud overshadowed them at the same time; and a voice. spealting from the cloud, was heard to say “This is my beloved Son, in whom | am well pleased. Hear ye him!” At which the three disciples fell on their knees and cov- ered their faces: being afraid. Poe This is called the Transfiguration of Our Saviour. QVHEN they were come down trom this mountain and were among the people again, a man knelt at the feet ot Jesus Christ, and said. “Lord have mercy on my. sun, for he is mad and cannot help himself, and sometimes falls mto the fire. and sometimes into the water, and covers himself with scars and sores. Some of Thy Disciples have tried to cure him; but could not.” ‘Our Saviour cured the child immediately: and turning to his disciples told them they had not been able to cure him themselves, because they did not believe in Him so truly as He had hoped. The Disciples asked him, “Master, who is greatest-in the Kingdom of Heaven?” Jesus called a little child to him. and took him in His arms, and stood him among them, and answered. “A child like this. 1! say unto you thut none but those who are as humble as little children shall enter into Heaven. Whosoever shall receive one such tittle child in my name, receiveth me. But whosoever hurts one of them, it were better for him that he had a mill- stone tied about his neck, and were drowned in the depths of the sea. The angels are all children.” Our Saviour loved the child, and loved all children. Yes, and ali the world. No one ever loved all people, so well and so truly as He did. PETER asked Him, “Lord, how often shall 1 forgive any one who offends me? Seven times?” Our Saviour answered, “Seventy times seven times, and more than that. For how can you hope that God will forgive you, when you do wrong, unless you forgive all other people!” And he told his disciples this story. He said, there was once a Servant who owed his Master a great deal of money, and could not pay it. At which the Master, being very angry was going to have this Servant sold for a s'zve. But the servant kneeling down and begging his Master’s pardon with great sorrow, the Master forgave him. Now this same servant had a fellow-servant who owed him a hundred pence, and instead of being kind and forgiving to this poor man, as his master had been to him. he put him in prison for fhe debt, His master, hearing of it, went to him, and said “Oh wicked Servant, | forgave you, why did you not forgive your fellow servant!” And because he had not done so, his master turned him away with great misery. “So,”'said Our Saviour; “how can you expect God to forgive you, if you do not forgive others!” This is the meaning of that*part of the Lord’s prayer, where we say “forgive us our trespasses”—that word means faults—“as we forgive them that trespass against us.” And he told them another story, and said ‘There was a eertain Farmer once, who had a Vineyard, and he went out early in the morning, and agreed some rers to work there all day, for a Penny. And bye and bye when it was later, he went out again and e1 some more labourers on the same terms; and bye and bye went out again; and so on, several times, until the afternoon. When the day was over, and they all came to be paid, those who had worked since morning complained that those who had not begun to work until late in the day had the same money as themselves, and they said it was not fair. But the mas- ter, said, “Friend, I agreed with you for a Penny; and is it less money to you, because I give the same money to another man?” Our Saviour meant to teach them by this, that pole who have done good all their lives long, will go to Heaven after they are dead. But that, le who have been wieked, because of their being, mis or not Sate parents and friends to take care of them when Breage - who are truly sorry for it, however late in and God to forgive them, will be forgiven and. will go to jas too.

The people listened to all that our Saviour said, but were not agreed among themselves about Him. The Phari- sees and Jews had spoken to some of them against Him, and some of them were inclined to do Him harm and even to murder Him. But they were afraid, as yet, to do Him any harm, because of His goodness, and His looking so divine and grand—although he was very oid eat bee almost like the poor people—that they could : to meet his eyes. QNE morning, He was sitting in a place called the Mount of Olives, teaching the people who were all clustered round Him, listening and learning attentively, when @ great noise was heard, and a crowd of Pharisees, and other people like them, called Scribes, came running in with great cries and shouts, dragging among them woman who had done wrong, and they all cried out gether, “Master! Look at this woman. The law shall be pelted with stones until she is dead. But what say you? what say you?” Jesus looked upon the noisy crowd atten’ . knew that they had come to make Him say the law wrong and cruel; and that if He said so, they it a charge against Him and would kill Him. ashamed and afraid as He looked into their f: they an cried out, “Come! what say you say you?” esus stooped down, and wrote with his finger in sand on the ground, “He that is without sin let him throw the first stone >t her.” As looking over one another’s shoulders, and as the words to them, py poms away, one by one, until not a man of all the noisy crowd was left there Jesus Christ, and the woman, hiding her face in her Then said Jesus Christ, “Woman, where are cusers?
