SATTLE churches have set aside Sun- ~ day, October 11, as “Church Rally Day.” They invite everyone to attend thureh on that day. It’s a good idea for our churches to thus take stock of the population occasion- nily, and to count noses of their flocks. For it's truly an easy matter, especially us.colder weather draws near, to lie abed ‘on Sunday mornings while the church bells tare ringing. And it is only by such a vwheckup that the indolent ones are put dack in the pews. Too many of us are inclined to view the churches with a patronizing air of “Well, it may be good for the other fellow, but I don’t need it.” Nevertheless, a churchless country would te a sorry one, both for the man who is a church-goer and the man who is not, For the uplifting qualities of religious belief are a necessity in making life what it is. Last Sunday morning more than a mil- lion and a half American men and women ‘got up and walked anywhere from a few blocks to several miles to.a church in order to teach Sunday school classes. They didn’t do it for financial gain or for per- sonal glory. They did it-because they had the desire in their hearts to help improve their fellow men. During the war we thought we had done a big job wren we raised $100,000,- 000 for the Red Cross. We did. But last year the churches of America raised $500,- 000,000 for spreading the Gospel. + A million and a half teachers. : Five hundred millions for expenses. * The church is a big institution as well as a humane one. : Who are YOU to speak patronizingly of it? } Come to church on Rally Day, October ‘11, and see for yourself! : WE'RE LAGGING ALIFORNIA plans to make an annual XX af‘air out of the air regatta held Sun- flay at Clover field, near Santa Monica, in commemoration of the “completion of the world flight at C.over field.” * Looks to us as if Seattle, official jump- ing off place of the world flyers, and the place where the flight officially ended, is not looking to its laurels. | If there is to be any annual observance of the completion of the history-making event, it might better be held at Sand Point field. : A MATTER OF SPACE (VOUNTY COMMISSIONER FRANK PAUL introduces a resolution to abol- ish the county morgue, turning the work pver to accredited undertakers. He points out that in cases where victims who come to the morgue have money, they are turned over to undertakers anyhow for burial. + “Why not, then,” inquires Paul, “turn the whole affair over to the undertakers, permitting them to bring bodies of paupers pr unknowns to the county farm for cre- mation, as now, and saving the $25,000 or more it costs us to run the morgue, ! as well as the space the office occupies?” Anybody have any good reasons why it shouldn't be done? From a standpoint of space in the city- county building such a saving would be important. Justices are crying for more room, Everybody in the building is pinched for space, The space now occupied by the morgue would be sufficient to make room for at least two justice courtrooms. WHY THEY CUT LOOSE T is said that the French are mercuria’ temperamental, sentimental, often giv- ing ‘way to mere emotion, regardless of serious consequences, but there are also Americans. Commander Rodgers and the rescued crew of the PN-9 No, 1 reach San Fran- cisco, Uncountable thousands pack the streets to yell, throw hats and bonnets into the air and make mere noise on every instrument known to man and on some never heretofore known. Women grab the first stranger woman within reach and hug and weep and laugh hys- terically. Hundreds of business men kiss and ery upon each other’s necks. The mayor publicly hugs the whole crew, in the city hall. Rodgers and crew, being all alive and in splendid condition and looking upon their experiences and doings as natural in performance of ordinary duty, grow much paler, with astonishment and em- barrassment, than they were when the sharks swam ‘round and ‘round them with greedy eyes. Had Floyd Collins been rescued from that Kentucky cave, he would have re- ceived a quite similar reception in every city that he visited. The fellow who accepts the odds and wins a close fight with death is a hero in the hearts of the masses. Mighty, awful is the crowd, when moved by strong feel- ings. In hatred, it will calmly see a hu- man being burned alive. In sympathy, it will kiss thru tears of joy and throw its clothes upon the street as carpet for the feet of those whom it worships. FRYING IN HOT GREASE PEAKING of being on a hot griddle, there’s the California lawyer who is performing as head of our navy, Secre- tary Wilbur. Mr. Wilbur felt real good with himself as a large part of the skilled navy man- agement, because of the popular acclaim upon his prompt promotion of Command- er Rodgers as assistant chief of aero- nautics, Just as promptly, and without asking the consent of the Washington bureau- crats, Commander Rodgers takes his stand by Colonel Mitchell in demanding an air board. To demote Rodgers would be too ridicu- lous and, probably, bring on a general riot. But, what is a poor secretary to do, when one of his most popular appointees goes to delivering honest opinion on naval policies, without asking anybody's per- mission? ? 2?

CUMMING Surgeon General, United States Public Health Service HOSE of you who have had experience with sickness probably know that chicken forms one of the early items in the menu of the convalescent. Thero is a reason for this. A great portion of tho chicken is actually digested and taken up as food by the cells of the body. Further- mbre, chicken is easily di gested Squab is, of course, expen sive, but it is certainly easy to eat and is an easily assimi- lated " You should know that adult pigeons which have been well fattened, and have not been al lowed to fly, are almost as pala- table as squab and usually can be purchased for much less than squab, Eggs are probably the most generally used food ‘of animal origin, It is estimated that exes furnish nearly 6 per cent of man's protein, and at least 3 per cent of his daily ration. Eggs are less linble to convey disease or contain harmful prop: erties than any other animal food. Furthermore, there is no infection known at the present timo that can be transmitted from the hen to man thru the cee. Of course this does not mean that bacteria may not be trans: ferred to an egg, and stale eggs may cause serious trouble, from polsonous products like pto- maine, You should know that eggs are concentrated food; that the average egg contains about 32 calories of protein and 68 oa. lories of fuel and other values, Whether eggs are eaten raw, poached, boiled for a long time, soft boiled or scrambled, they are, it would appear, complotely digested, Whipped raw eggs, mith oa ave ured in milkshakes and Uquid diets, are digested by Dr. Cumming the stomach tn less than haif the time required to digest a fried or hard-boiled egg. Because they are a heavy ni trogenous food, eggs should be eaten sparingly Large amounts of egg tax the liver with too much nitrogen, Fresh eggs direct from the hennery are dull, not shiny. When an egg is stale, evapora- tion has taken place, Some of the water in its com- position has passed thru tho porous shell and alr has taken itn place. Stale eggn are, therefore, light- or than fresh eggs. Test your eggs first by putting them in a deep pan of water. This water test will tell you three things. First, if the eggs are fresh their weight will cause them to sink, Second, if the eggs are stale they will slant away from the bottom of the pan, or will even stand on end. Third, if the eggs are bad they will float WEDNESDAY, SEPT, 30 If wo, you are idealistic, And you are vory intellectual, But you are also impracticable in business affairs, You are fond of study Your judgment is rapid and ac- ourate.

In 1 over Rumanian pro- tests, Bismarck, the great Ger man “iron chancellor,” insisted on giving the country back to Russia, thus hoping to sow di cord between Russia and Ru- mania, according to some his torians: Then came the World war and the Russian revolution. Bessarabia proclaimed itself in- dependent under the name .of the Moldavian republic. But Rumania, anxious to ex- tend its domains; took advan- tage of this situation to send troops into Bessarabia on the grounds that most of the people there wanted annexation. Rumania‘s claim to the coun try was upheld at Versailles. Soviet Russia has steadfastly refused to recognize the award to Rumania Rumania cnarges that bolshe- vist agents have repeatedly tried to stir up revolution in Bess. arabia. The recent revolt against the Rumanians in Kishinev, the capital of Bessarabia, has brought the question to a crisis.

He not attain the same efficiency and resultant low production costs. Consequently his market is slipping away, Fifteen years ago there were nearly 200 paas- enger car manufacturers. Now there are 73. Of this year’s pro- duction of 4,000,000 ‘cars almost 3,500,000 will be turned out by 10 companies. The other 63 will produce only 600,000. Outsdde the factory the big manufacturers enjoy still other advantages, They can maintain agencies everywhere and thru large sales volume keep the selling cost of each car very low. The small manufacturer cannot support dealers except in large cities, and elsewhere must depend on agents who handle his product as a side- line. It is an axiom in the motor world that the manufacturer who can make money for bis dealers will survive; that others will fail. Tho dealers who are making the most notable success are those who sell the cars made by the large companies. There is no indication that the present era of price-cutting rep- resents a deliberate attempt on the part of big manufacturers to crowd out the littl com- petitors.
