The ?r~. ' THE ^JATE CRASHERS ! & ! By R. H. WILKINSON < ?t. Bell Syndicate.?WNU Service. ' MAJORCO Is a gay and roman- | tic city at any time of the , year. Rut gayest and most , romantic of all days Is Dia Coninemo- | rativo de Somjestn, a day of feasting and merry-making; a day of celebration and of paying homage to the memory of the nation's most revered i hero?El Miguelo de la Soinjesta. It is a day of solemnity, also. For it Is on this day, at the hour when daylight merges into dusk and , dusk into darkness that the coffin of j the honored and celebrated El Miguel l de la So m jest a is removed from Its tomb and paraded slowly about the walls of the Inner temple. If is a rite that has become a tradition. the most sacred of nil functions to be sponsored throughout the year, attended and participated in by the nation's nobility. I II is a moment at which the most distinguished personages in nil the nation how to the admitted superiority of the great Somjesta. The procession itself takes place within the walls of the temple. i It is as secret as it Is sacred. Only a chosen few have ever wit- | nessed the spectacle, nnd those having first pledged their solemn oaths to maintain the trust down through the ages. Thirty minutes before the proces- < slon Is scheduled to get underway, a hush falls over the city. And until a half hour following Its v.mn/1 ipiiiii uic hush rviuums. | No word Is spoken, no band blares fr->ni the carnival stands, no dancers I bold gayly forth In the street. It Is as. hour of silence and of worship. The hour for si fence had come. Young Jerry Murdock and equally young Slim Darrell stood across the street from the temple gates and I watched the chosen few file past the 1 guards, with bowed heads and solemn looks. t Occasionally a guard reached out and tapped a spectator on the shoul- i dor. There followed a moment of delay < while credentials were displayed and 1 scrutinized. 1 Fifteen minutes passed, and Jerry < Murdock nudged his companion. We'd better make a try now. If over. The crowd's getting thicker.** ' Slim Darrell nodded. 1 "Righto. (Jot your pass ready?" < "Yes. Listen, Slim. It's pretty risky business. If we're caught they'll treat us badly." "Should have thought of that a month ago. Too late to turn back now. Resides, if we get the pictures, the ' Post will jack our salaries to the limit. i Come on." lie started across the street. 1 Jerry followed. Both young men were dressed In j "'if; uowing rones, tneir races aimosi ? obscured in peaked hoods of the same material. They looked for all the world like visiting monks. * They mingled with the crowds surging through the gates. Slim was breathing a silent prayer of thanksgiving when suddenly he stopped. A guard had seized his arm. Jerry, following directly behind, stopped_also. "Senor, your pass?' Slim did not lift his head, feigning a meditative state of mind, ho reached carefully beneath his robe and produced the square of cardboard that he and Jerry had o rare.ully prepared on the nleht nrevIonR Breathlessly he waited what seemed * like nil eternity, while the guard, his J face a mask of bewilderment; studied the card, turning It one way and then 1 another. Behind, the crowd was pressing forward. "Oradas, Senor." * Slim felt the card pressed back into 1 his hand. 1 He moved forward, - nlntemiptett c "Boy, what a cioae one!

"Slim, concealed from those behind t>y hle own bulk, removed a compact motion picture camera from beneath his robe, adjusted it between the railing bars and waited. It was a tense moment. They could hear the deep, measured roll of drums, they saw fantastically clressed figures leaping and cavorting In the street below. Solemn high priests, wearing weird, hideous head dresses and masks and carrying beautifully carved wands, marched far in the lead of a litter, carried by eight handsomely costumed footmen. The tiny movie camera was purring. Jerry leaned over and spoke tersely. "Save your film. Slim. This Is only the beginning." Slim grinned. "No need to whisper. "These jiggers can't speak English no more than that guard could read It. Here, get another film ready. I'm fcoing to catch the whole of this if 1 have to hold them up with* a gun." Hastily he snapped open the camera lid. removing the used film. .Terry thrust forward another, which was deftly Inserted. "Eet would be best that the Engleesh take t^ire. To he detected would mean death." Roth youths whirled. It was the girl. She was looking at them without turning her head. Her expression revealed nothing, though they knew she had both heard and understood, was aware of their purpose. "Queeck. zee priest!" Some one was coming up the stairs. The girl's hand was extended. Without hesitation Slim relinquished camera and film ami turnel away. Behind them the priest had stopi?ed. And In that moment an Icy fear clutched at the hearts of the two re porters. They saw vividly, mental pictures of the horrors of a Majorco dungeon prison. Footsteps sounded on the stairs. m "lie ees gone. Zee camera." Slim stared dumbly at the girl. He wanted to say something, wanted to tell her how much they appreciated wrhat she had done. Hut already her eyes were back on the procession. "Sny, that girl was a little bit of ill right, eh?" "Saved us from a nasty mess. Wonier if we could find her again? Like to express our thanks. If it wasn't Tor her, we'd probably be rotting in >ne of those dungeon prisons." * They were back in their hotel room. The procession was over, and they bad successfully got past the 0uard :oniing outSlim was opening the camera. Suddenly his eyes bulged. He opened his mouth and started. "What's eating you, feller?" "The film! It's gone. It couldn't inve been there when we shot those jcenes!" Jerry leaped off the bed and came icross the room. "Well, I'm a ... " An idea came to llm. "Slim! I>o you suppose . . Say, where's that first film?" "I gave It to you!" "You did not! You gave It to the jlrl, and she still has It! Moreover, the removed the second roll when you landed her the camera. She didn't vant us to get any more shots!" Slim was staring like one In a ;tupor. "Jerry! That girl was from ;lie Express!" "Of course. Idiot! The cub reporter! \nd did she play us for a couple of tuckers! Oh, sure, she helped us out >f a nice mess and got us in a worse >ne. I can see the old man's face low!" "So can I. And there's not another )arade until next year!" In another room In the same hotel, i young girl removed a roll of film 'mm her hcndhne looked at her own -eflection la a mirror and eaid, Queek!

YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC?What Think Ye of ChristT In order to obviate a break In the studies to Matthew and still have an Easter lesson, the review should be omitted and the lesson for April 1 taken Instead. 1. Jeaus Christ the King, Taking ; Account of Hie Ministry (vv. 13-17). L The place (v. 13). It was at i Cesarea 1'hilippl, the northern limit i of Jewish territory. It was slgnifl! cant that the announcement concerning the Church should take place In ; this region. 2. The time In Christ's ministry. It marked a turning point. His ministry was largely restricted to his disciples after this. The cross was a I short time ahead. The Messiah had already been rejected. They had already charged hiin with being Id i league with the devil and sought to kill him. It was highly Important that the disciples should have clear views as to Christ's person In order to stand | the test of the trial and crucifixion of j Jesus. 3. Peter's confession of Jesus (vv. , 13-16). a. The occasion (vv. 13-15). Two questions asked by Jesus provoked i this confession. (1) As to the opinion of the people concerning hlra (vv. 13. 14). They recognized him as a teacher and prophet of more than human authority. Today, as then, there is a diversity of opinion concerning Jesus. Some think that he Is only a man; others that he Is a great teacher but nothing more. It was his persistent claim to be the Godman. the very Son ! of God. that sent him to the cross. | (2) As to the persona) opinion of I the disciples (v. 15). It was not enough for them to be able to tell what opinion the people held concerning Jesus. It was necessary that they have clear personal knowledge. b. The content (v. 10). It consisted of two parts. (1) "Thou art the Christ" This | means that Jesus of Nazareth was the 1 Messiah, the fulflller of the Jewish hopes and expectations. (2) "The Son of the living God." | This acknowledged him to be divine, j It was the recognition of his glorious | person In keeping with the Jewish hope (Isa. 9:0. 7). 4. Christ's confession of Peter (vv. 17-19). Peter had made a noble confession. Now Jesus confesses him. | Those who confess Christ shall be con| fessed by him (Matt 10:32. 33). a. unrists cnarge to toe dlsclplea ( . 20). He asked theio not to tell any man that he was the Messiah. The time was not ripe for such testimony. II. The New Body, the Church, Announced (vv. IS, 19). Following the confession of Peter, Jesus declared his Intention of bringing into existence a new body. To the members of this body he promised to give the keys of the kingdom. Peter was to have a distinguished place In this body. The keys entrusted to him were used at Pentecost and again In the case of Cornelius. Christ" has the keys of Hades and death. III. The King Predicts His Death ( v. 21-28). This prediction was no doubt startling to the disciples. They did not yet realize that redemption was to be accomplished through the passion of the cross. So unwelcome was this announcement that Peter cried. "This hall not be onto Thee." Later Peter gaw through the darkness the sunlight on the hill tops beyond the cross. Redemptive victory through Christ's death Is yet the stumbling block to many. IV. The Cost of Dlaclpleehlp (vr. 24-28). To fellow Christ tneens suffering. To follow him Is to turn one's back upon the world. L There must be denial of self. There Is a wide difference between self-denial and denial of self. 2. Take op his cross" (r. 24). This cross Is the shame and suffering which lie to the path of loyalty to Christ. To do our whole duty will bring suffering <11 Tim. 3:12)... >. Follow Christ <?. 24). This means to have the mind of Christ, to ha like Christ all surh shall be rewarded when Christ comes In glory. 3,1934 Cleaning Cistern, Ready for Spring Suction Attachment to Pump Will Remove Sediment, Save Water. By E. W Lehmann. Agricultural Engineering Department. ITnlvemlty of Illinois. WNU Service. Soft water is both a labor saver and a money saver for the home and It need not be lost or wasted in order to clean out the cistern and get it ready for the spring rains. To be sure It may be desirable to clean the cistern thoroughly before the soft water supply for the home Is collected during the early spring rains. However, if the cistern is reasonably full of water, the problem of cleaning becomes a difficult one, especially If the water is needed and must be saved. Under such circumstances. It is necessary to use a special pump so that the accumulation at the bottom may be removed without disturbing the contents of the cistern, except Just at the bottom. This is accomplished by having a pump with a special funnel shaped suction attachment at the bot- j torn of the pipe. As ihe pump Is oper- j ated, the suction unit Is moved around 1 over the floor so the material which , has settled at the bottom may be ! pumped out. In this manner, much of the waste and foul material may be re- ! moved and the water made more satisfactory for use without losing or ! wasting the present supply. If It Is not necessary to save the [ nri'SOlit Biinnlv It* ?lw. - ??? thorough job may be done by pumping out all the water. In this case the walls may be brushed down, the cistern floor scrubbed and all refuse rej moved completely. Little attention need be given the 1 cistern, if proper precaution is taken In collecting and filtering the supply. Heated Water Treatment Kills Disease in Seed Putting cabbage seed in heated water for 25 minutes kills black leg, j black rot, leaf spots, and other cab- > bage-destroylng fungi, according to Dr. Charles Chupp, specialist In vegetable diseases at the New York state college of agriculture. An 18-minutcs bath lu water at 122 degrees will also kill diseases common to cauliflower, brussels sprouts, and turnips, he says. The one objection to this treatment Is that old seed will not sprout well later. Seedsmen und growers, according to Professor Chupp, may lose by this process for a short time, but the less, he says, is more than offset by development of disease-free j plants. He states that most seedsmen In New York state are having their seed ' treated and tested, and adds that canneries and creameries are permitting seedsmen to use the cannery water heating equipment to make the treatment. Work on cabbage diseases began in this state four years ago, when farmers In Ontario county asked for help in saying one-tenth of their cabbage crop which they were losing by plant diseases. Dehydrating Hay There is gradually coming into use ' a method of dehydrating hay which promises to provide very satisfactory | iee<i. i nose using mis metnoa report ! splendid results. Legumes and grasses ; may be cut earlier, thereby Increasing their digestibility and palatability as j well as increasing the percentage of protein. While this method of handling the hay crop is very promising and provides an excellent feed, it has not gone far enough to be a factor in I dairy farm operations. The silo is still in extensive use. New methods may cause something else to take its place but this will be some time in the future.?Hoard's Dairyman. Weed Seeds Have Long Life ; In pointing out the longevity and vl- ! tallty of weed seeds, the University of | California agricultural extension serv- | ice warns that planting clean seeds ] will aid in getting crops free from weeds, bat If ever there were weeds on the ground, the practice cannot prevent them from sprouting and growing. Morning glory, smartweed. broadleaved dock, red clover, Jlmson weed, black nightingale, plalntain, ragweed and curled lambsquarter seeds will lire for thirty years, and then grow. Reed canary grass, purslane, black mustard, sugar beet, burdock and Osn\da thistle will live for twenty years. Grading Laws Ohio notr has a new grading law re quiring grade gamed on' the container, the weight or numerlcul count, and the growers' nqme and address.

Page Three MANCHU BIBLES USELESS One hundred years ago the English Bible society, at great expense, put an edition of the Bible in the Manchu language, then the official language of the Chinese court aud government. When sent to China the books were found useless, as the Manchus were able to read Chinese, preferring Chinese to their own language, which had become almost confined to official use only.

Why Children Need a Liquid Laxative The temporary relief children get from unwise dosing with harsh cathartics may cause bowel strain, and even set up irritation in the kidneys. A properly prepared liquid laxative brings a perfect movementThere is no discomfort at the time and no weakness after. You don't have to give the child "a double dose" a day or two later. Can constipation be safely relieved in children? * Yes!" say medical men. 44 Yes I" say many mothers who have followed this sensible medical advice: 1. Select a good liquid laxative. 2. Give the dose you mid suited to the system. 3. Gradually reduce the dose until the bowels are moving regularly without aid. An approved liquid laxative (one that is widely used for children) is Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. The mild laxative action of this excellent preparation is the best form of help for children?and grown-ups, too. The dose can be regulated for any age or need.
