I'srfui Bamboo
The bamboo tree is wif ol the
most useful tie?s in the tropics.
It grows as much as 16 inches in
24 hours, and attains a height of
more than 100 feet.
The tree is hollow but at each
of the many joints the cavity is
close*. Saw oil one complete sec
tion of the thick stem and you
have a perfect pail, or cooking
vessel. Smaller sections form
ready-made bottles.
Bamboo makes house-building
simple. The stems are used as
scaffolding, walls md roofs can be
made from it, and split sections
form the floors. Masts for ships
and rods for fishermen are other
uses. People of the East eat it, too.

JAPAN GETS AVIATION FVEL
The new iron and steel scrap em
bargo finally shut off one of Japan's
key military supplies.
But through a loophole as big as
a bam door. Japan had been able,
despite this supposedly stringent
embargo, ?o obtain all the U. S. gas
it needs for the bombers that are
raining death and destruction on
helpless Chinese cities and villages.
This loophole is the little-noticed pro
vision that limits the embargo only
to a certain super-grade of gas?87
octane and over.
This type of fuel is essential for
modern aerial warfare. Without it
planes are not able to attain the
great speeds necessary in dog fights
and raids such as take place night
and day over Britain.
But Japan is not up against that
kind of battling. Its bombers and
fighter planes face no aerial opposi
tion. They have the skies to them
selves. They don't need super-gas.
They can do just us well on lower
octane fuel. Their job is no differ
ent than an ordinary transport
plane's. They haul out a load of
bombs, dump it and fly back.
The story is told in the following
unpublished government figures. In
the month after the imposition of the
so-called embargo. Japan imported
from the United States 187.028 bar
rels of lower grade gasoline, or more
than 20 per cent of all such exports
during that period.

The large Japanese fishing colony
1 on Verminal island in Los Angeles
harbor is soon due for a clean-up
by Uncle Sam.
This colony has long been under
suspicion as a nerve center of for
eign espionage on the West coast.
More than one of the "fishing" ves
sels is radio-equipped, and intelli
gence officials have eviaenoe that
I some of the colony's sea-going deni
zens double in brass as spies.
No action has been taken up to
now chiefly becruse of state depart
ment qualms about kicking up an
international ruckus. The suspects
were kept under scrutiny but noth
| ing was done to get rid of them.
But with Japan taking the bit in
its teeth in Indo-China and showing
signs of further adventures, the
state department has withdrawn its
red light. Under a plan worked out
with California and Los Angeles of
ficials, the fishing village will be
dispersed.

U. S. FLYING FORTRESSES
"Flying Fortresses" of the U. S.
army and powerful twin-engined
PBY patrol bombers of the U. S.
navy?for Britain?
The negotiations have been going
on for several weeks simultaneously
with conversations regarding the se- I
curing of air and naval bases on
strategic British islands in the Pa
cific.
The British are urgently in need
of long-range, great weight-carrying
planes of the "Flying Fortress" and
PBY type. Lack of ships of this
kind is a vital weakness in British
air power. They have no planes
capable of operating east of Berlin,
which makes it impossible to strike
at some of the Nazis' key war pro
| duction centers located in what were
formerly Austria and Czechoslo
vakia.
A fleet of 25 "Flying Fortresses,"
which have a cruising radius of over
5,000 miles, would bring the war
home to the Germans where it
would hurt most. Also, the British
could strike smashing blows at
Italian industries?and Italy is the
Achilles heel of the Axis.
The naval PBYs are needed in the
crucial Mediterranean struggle.
With a range of 4,000 miles, these
mighty flying boats could destroy
Italian submarines, transports and
supply ships. Italy has to transport
everything she needs in her African
offensive across the Mediterranean,
and the PBYs could cripple this
jugular vein.
These planes also are needed to
meet assault on Gibraltar, key to
British control of the Mediterranean.
They also would put Britain in a
much stronger position to meet
Spanish intervention.
The army has a total of 59 "Fly
ing Fortresses" plus a number of
others in production, which are com
ing from the factory at the rate of
about seven a month.
The British would like to make
an arrangement to obtain every oth
er new ship. Army officials say
this would not delay U. S. rearming,
but would enable the manufacturer
to expand his facilities and achieve
a greater output.

THE BOYHOOD OF JESUS
LESSON TEXT- Luke 2 40-52.
GOLDEN TEXT?And Jesus Increased In
?rtsdom and stature, and In favor with Cod
and man.?Luke 2:52.
One brief but revealing glimpse
into the earthly life of our Lord is
all we have from His birth to the
time when he entered upon His
public ministry at His baptism in
the Jordan. How appropriate it is
that he was permitted to live those
years of His life behind the curtain
of divine silence.
The incident in our lesson shows
Jesus at the age of responsibility,
and in His Father's house. This is
preceded by one verse which reveals
Him as the growing child, and is
followed by another verse which
tells of his advancement from boy
hood into manhood. Luke, who is
the only one who presents this sto
ry, thus fills out the picture of the
divine-human personality of the One
whom he purposes to reveal as the
perfect and universal Saviour.
I. The Child Grows (v. 40).
Like every other child in the world
(apart, of course, from any sin or
blemish), Jesus grew during the first
12 years of His life on earth. One
rightly regards that growth as the
normal, happy development of ev
ery child, a time of physical devel
opment, of carefree play, of learn
ing obedience.
Jesus came into the world to die
as the Saviour of sinful men, but
for these childhood years we aro
glad that He just grew, waxed
strong in body as well as in spirit,
developing mentally, and that in it
all "the grace of God was upon
him " May our children have a sim
ilar opportunity and privilege I
II. The Boy Meets Life's Re
sponsibilities (w. 41-51).
Soon enough came the day when
as a "son of the law" Jesus reached
the age of accountability and went
with His parents to keep the feast
of the Passover. He entered the
temple, and there took over the re
sponsibility for his own religious life,
which until then had been borne by
His parents. Such a day is of vital
importance in the life of every boy
and girl, and in the case of Jesus
was of special significance.
Acting for Himself, He tarried in
the temple. As a good learner. He
asked and answered questions, at
the same time amazing those who
heard by His understanding.
To Him it was the natural and
expected thing that He would be in
His Father's house, going about the
business of God. He recognized the
spccial relationship between Him
self and the Father?His very own
Father?and He began to assume the
responsibility of His divine mission
on earth.
He was about to turn the corner
from boyhood and start toward man
hood, but there were yet'18 years
that He was to show His perfect sub
mission to the will of God by His
obedience to His parents.
III. The Youth Goes On to Man
hood (v. 52).
The curtain is drawn again, and
the boy Jesus develops into the
man; yes, the man who was to
bear on Calvary's tree your sins and
mine. What do we know about these
years when a boy with the con
sciousness that He must be about
His Father's business went forward
to manhood under the loving and
watchful eye of the mother who
"kept all these sayings in her heart."
Jesus "advanced," the word be
ing entirely different in meaning
from the "grew" of verse 40. The
child grows without any thought or
purpose of doing so, but the boy
pressing on to manhood has to beat
his way forward, cutting a path
through life to his goal.
The fact that Jesus did that should
encourage every young man and
wcman who is doing the same in a
difficult and hostile world, and cause
them to seek the daily companion
ship and help of the Son of God and
Son of Man who has passed that
way before them.
The development here puts the
mental first, then the physical. The
latter is important, but must be un
der control of the former. Crown
ing them both is His growth in
grace, fellowship with God and fel
lowship with men, the latter glori
fied and made useful by the former.
Here again we may learn of Him
who. though the Sen of God with
power, was obedient to the limita
tions of the humanity He had taken
*nd yet advanced "in wisdom and
?tature, and in favor with God and
man" (v. 52).
U OW good a swinger is Sammy
A * Snead compared to the best of
all time? Snead has yet to win a
national crown and yet many, in
eluding Bobby
Jones, pick the West
Virginian as one of
the top stylists since
the first Scotchman
socked a rock with
a shepherd's crook
and complained of
the greens.
Snead may be the
"dream swinjrer" to
many, bat he isn't
to Jimmie Donald
son, an able stylist
Gr?ntl?nd Rice
of the top instructors of the came.
In rating Sne ad as highly as we
have, Jimmie thinks your corre
spondent is a trifle curious in the
cupola?as follows?
An Expert Disagrees
Dear Grant:
I happened to see your article
about Sammy Snead. How a man
like you who has seen as much golf
as you have can compare Sammy
Snead's swing, which has a decided
loop (which is preventing him from
winning big tournaments), with a
great swing like Harry Vardon's
baffles me.
What do you mean about Hagen,
Sarazen and J. H. Taylor being
swingers? They certainly were not
swingers, bat decided hitters. And
if you are writing on the subject of
swingers, how can you possibly
overlook Byron Nelson who, I per
sonally think, is a much better
swinger, and better grooved, than
Snead has been last two years.
To the layman your article might
appeal, but to someone like myself
who knows a little about it, it is
really funny.
Sincerely yours,
Jimmie Donaldson
And in Rebuttal?
Dear Jimmie?
X know of few golfers who swing
a golf club better than you do?or
few who know as much about the
old game. But I can't agree with
you about Sammy Snead. You say
he has a loop in his swing? So did
Bobby Jones. Do you know a better
swinger? Yet only a few days ago
Bobby Jones told me that in his
opinion Snead had the best all
around swing with every club that
he h$d ever seen?and Bob played
with Vardon as far back as 1920.
Bobby Jones was referring to the
physical makeup of Snead's swing,
not to his mental attitude in a cham
pionship.
Snead gets amazing results with
little show of effort, of extra effort.
Snead's downfall has never been due
to any fault in his swing?only to
his inability to concentrate?only to
his mental attitude, which as you
know is 70 per cent of golf.
I played with Bobby Jones four
days ago and he had a 65. I still
got a thrill from the slow, smooth
beauty of his swing. Bob still in
sists that Snead is the top. The dif
ference is that Bobby could always
concentrate and keep full control of
his mental and nerve resources.
Snead can't. Yet remember this?
in his last four big tournaments,
Snead has wen three and reached
the final hole against Nelson in the
last P. G. A.
I have seen Snead hit many a
golf ball, but I hav? yet to see
any "decided loop."
Hagen and Nelson
Continuing our correspondence, I [
hate to disagree with an expert of
your rank. But to my mind Walter
Hagen is a better swinger than
most. Hagen in his prime was one
of the ideal swingers.
Sarazen, with his stocky build, is
more of a hitter than a swinger.
We agree here. Sarazen doesn't
think Snead has any loop, but he is
afraid Snead is getting a trifle flat
in his back swing.
"The greatest fault in golf today,"
Sarazen says.
As for swingers?how about Henry
Picard? Winning temperament?no.
But a great gclfer and a great
swinger. Snead has had a better
three or four-year record than Mac
Donald Smith. Did you ever see a
finer swinger than Mac Smith? Yet
Mac Smith through 25 years never
won a national title.
Here was the great crime of all
golf. Mac Smith with the goI9ng
temperament of Walter Hagen or
Byron Nelson would have won at
least six champibnships. Imagine
Sammy Snead with the mental atti
tude of a Hagen or a Nelson?or
| the tremendoas concentration *1 a
Bobby Jones?
Even as it is, I believe Sammy
Snead will still astonish the world
of golf. Watch himl
