'Jingoism'
Jingoism is a tertn applied to
anyone who favors an aggressive
or bcllicose policy in foreign af
fairs, says Pathfinder. In this
sense, it was first used in England,
where "jingo" became a nick
name for any advocate of Lord
Beaconsficld's action in sending a
fleet to Turkish waters to stay
Russia's advance in 1878.
The word was lifted from the
chorus of a music-hall favorite of
that bygone day, which ran as
follows :
"ITc don't want to fight, but by jingo if
we do.
We've got the sAip.i. vr'tft got the men ,
we've got the money too,"

Help Defend Y our Country
By Buying Defense Bonds
D ECORD breaking has many odd
angles that often remain hidden
behind the scenes. Gene Fowler.
| author, poet and sage of Hollywood,
j insists that Barney Oldfield, the vet
eran auto racing driver, is the all
I time leader when it comes to a mat
ter of uniqueness.
"Barney learned to drive a car
one morning." Gene says, "and he
broke a world's record that same
afternoon."
This happens to be 100 per cent
true. Henry Ford, looking for a
chance to test one of his new cars,
turned the job over to Barney and his
mastodonie cigar. Barney spent an
hour or so the differ
ent gadgets worked and a few hours
later gave his machine the gas, prov
ing a car could be driven at a faster
pare than a mile a minute.
If asked to take the chance, O'.i
field also would have been the first
to try driving a car from the top of
a skyscraper.
While playing golf with Johnny
Wcissmuller, we discovered Uie T?i
zan swimmer also had been a fea
ture in the unique division.
Johnny, after turning in a 71 at
Lakeside, said, "The first time I ever
swam In competition I set a new
world's record at 100 yards. The
second time I started I happened l?
break this first record."
The diffeience between Weissmul
ler and Oldfield is that Johnny had
been in hard training under a com
BARNEY OLDFIELD
petent coach for some time. But
even this doesn't detract from the
performance of the most remark
able natural swimmer who ever
lived ? and one of the great com
petitors.
Weissmuller now is busy showing
chimps how to climb trees and throw
coconuts.
Two Others
Two other unique record breakers
? are Cornelius Warmerdam at the
pole vault and Les Steers at the high
jump ? two high-flying Californians.
Warmerdam discovered that the
only way he could pass 15 feet was
to get his right arm out of the way
in time. Steers discovered that the
only way he could beat 6 feet 10
inches over the lofty cross bar was
to get his left foot out of the way
before it carried away the bar.
"I could get my left hand and left
arm awa; in time at 15 feet or bet
ter," Warmerdam, tbe high school
instructor, said. "It was the right
arm that gave me all tbe trouble,
i worked at this kmc'.: and ! also
worked hard at the job of increasing
my speed. In the beginning I ran
the hundred in 11H seconds. Later
an I got this speed down to 10%
seconds."
With these two things accom
plished Warmerdam soared above
15 feet at least seven times in one
year, Anally reaching the incredible
height of 15 feet 5% inches. His goal
is now 18 feet, given the time to
practice.
About Steers
There were vague rumors and re
ports years ago that certain Zulu
African jumpers could equal 3 feet
10 inches. These rumors never were
verified.
But back in June, 1941, at a Pacific
Coast conference meet, Lester
Steers, the Oregon University rub
ber-man, proved a human being
rould Hear thp bar at 6 feet 11
jiches.
In an effort to control a balky left
Toot, he would train wearing only
>ne shoe, on his right foot, with his
left foot bare. Steers goes over with
l legal body roll. After hard work
he was able to get this left foot out
>f the way at the top of the jump.
His goal, if given the chance, is
J feet, once thought to be impossible.

JESUS APPOINTS AND TEACHES
THE TWELVE
LESSON TEXT? Luke 6:12m
GOLDEN TEXT? Let your light to rhln?
freror# men. that they may see your good
works, and glorify your Father which la In
aeaven.? Matthew 5:1?.
God is sovereign and has all pow
er. He might, therefore, perform
His works without the help of man,
and on many an occasion He doe3
jual uiat.
That fact makes it all the more
glorious that He ordinarily works
through men, giving to them the
privilege of companionship with
Kim in service. Sinful and weak
tuGugii they may have been, they
become strong and holy in Him,
able to do valiant service in His
name.
I. Appointed to Serve Christ (w.
12-19).
It is the constant teaching of
Scripture that those called to serve
God are not self-appointed. They
are
1. Chosen by Him (w. 12, 13). He
chooses whom He will, gives them
the gifts and the grace for ministry
(and both are important!), and pro
vides them a place of service. It is
vitai to the servant of Christ that
he know that he has been chosen
and called of the Lord.
Observe that it was after a night
of prayer that Jesus appointed the
twelve. How many churches give
that much prayer to the choosing
of its leaders? Do we not need it
far more than did our Lord?
2. Called from Many Walks of
Life (w. 14-16). The apostles were
men of widely differing gifts, tem
peraments, and personal character
istics. Some had unusual ability,
others apparently were of ordinary
qualifications. They were of many
occupations, fishermen, a tax gath
erer, etc.; but not one was by pro
fession a preacher or priest.
Were men to choose iui sucii of
fices they would look within the nar
row limits of a few learned profes
sions, with certain nationalities pre
ferred, and with position in life an
important factor. God cuts across
every rnan-made limitation and
calls His workers as He sees fit.
3. Companions in Service (vv. 17
19). At once the twelve received
their introduction to service to the
great multitude diseased, demon
possessed, in spiritual need. It was
Jesus who healed them (and notice
that "he healed them all," v. 19),
but verse 17 tells us that the newly
appointed apostles came and stood
with Him. They had fellowship with
the healing and serving Christ, just
as we may have it in service for
Him today.
II. Prepared to Live for Christ
(W. 20-26).
1. How to Meet Difficulties (vv.
20-23). Poverty, hunger, weeping,
being hated for Christ's sake, these
! were the things that Jesus knew
i His servants might expect, so He
! prepared them. They were told that
these things need not disturb them,
for there is a kingdom coming;
there will be a time when every
hunger will be satisfied, when weep
ing shall turn to laughter.
Hatred for Christ's sake is de
clared to be the occasion for an
outburst of joy because of the re
ward which awaits in heaven.
Scripture speaks much of rewards,
and we do well to encourage our
selves and other Christians by the
blessed prospect.
! Meeting difficulties is a matter
' of having mental and spiritual eyes
rightly focused. If we do, we can
see right through them and see that
on the other side there is blessing.
But there are temptations in an
other direction, so He tells them
2. How to Avoid Dangers (vv. 24
26). Jesus is here speaking of those
I who, lacking true spiritual vision,
revel in the satisfaction of worldly
things without a thought of God. The
passage, however, may well be ap
plied to the worker for Christ. Often
he will be tempted to covet the
wealth, the prosperity, the pleas
ures, and popularity of those round
about him.
The question which comes to him
is. Why should I and my family not
share these pleasant things? There
in lies a temptation to become
worldly-minded, centered in the tem
poralities of life. Let him learn that
money in itself cannot bring last
ing joy; that the fullness of this
world is soon exchanged for an eter
nal emptiness; that the shallow
laughter of this world's fun rapidly
gives way to weeping.

expensively dressed woman ap
proached the broad-shouldered
and faultlessly attired man.
"If I am not mistaken," she
gushed, "I have the honor of
speaking to the renowned tenor,
have I not?"
The celebrated singer felt flat
tered and beamed upon her, and
with a nod of his head, he asked,
"Is there something I can do for
you, madam?"
"I can't find my car," she an
swered pleasantly. "Would you be
so kind as to call out 'Charlie' at
the top of your voice? I am sure
he will hear you I"
Safe Tankers
Unlike other ships, u tanker,
while loaded with gasoline or light
oil, will not sink if it is punctured
or springs a leak except when the
accident occurs in the engine
room or living quarters, says Col
lier's. As the cargo is carried in
numerous large tanks, several
may be damaged at one time, the
result being that the oil leaks
down to the level of the sea and
lightens the load of the vessel.

HIGH PRICES
Do Not Go WITH ADVERTISING
Advertising and high prices do not go together at all.
They are extremely incompatible to each other. It is
only the product which is unadvertised, which
has no established market, that costs more than vou
can afford to pay.
Whenever you go into a store and buy an item of ad
vertised merchandise, it doesn't make any difference
what, you are getting more for your money ? more in
quality and service? than you would get if you spent the
same amount for something which was not advertised.
