An appropriation of S'i.000 has been
made for tbe laboratory on the roof of

which will form a part of It. The
pressure room duplicates conditions
flyers face at high altitudes.
The proposed unit will consist of
two sublaboratorles, one biochemical
and the other for physiological re

room to house the small animals
which will be used In experiments.

Armstrong has made plans to obtain
a number of rare instruments for the
laboratory. The laboratories at Har
vard university have agreed to supply
two of these, a spirometer and a
kymograph.
Gases in Lungs Measured.
A spirometer Is a small Instrument
which when breathed Into collects
gases from the lungs. It is delicately
balanced so as not to alter the analyza
tlon of the breath and affect Its com
position by pressure. The instrument
will be used to determine the exact
composition of lung gases at high alti
tudes, since they change after inhala
tion. '
The kymograph is a recording de
vice used in the pressure chamber to
determine breathing rate and depth at
high altitudes, blood pressure and
other physical reactions
Armstrong has developed a "re
breather" which will purify the waste
air thrown off by the lungs so that it
may be used again. The officer said
only one-twentieth of the nir inhaled
is absorbed and used and the remain
der Is wasted. The "rebreather" will
purify this for use.

THE MEANING OF
THE CROSS
By
LEONARD A. BARRETT
Reference to tbe Cross ss an Indis
pensable factor In the theology of
Christendom Is not
the purpose of this
article. We speak of
the Cross In its vital
relation to oar or
ganized social or
<1 e r. Regardless
whether its histor
icity be Greek, or
Koman, or Maltese,
the Cross has al
ways been the sym
bol of suffering and
sacrifice. The Cross
loses Its original
meaning as a sym
bol of suffering If It
Is borne for a self-centered purpose. One
may have to bear a cross because of
his own stupidity or because of the
poison of ancestral blood. He may
be compelled to bear a crushing dis
appointment because of unrealized per
sonal ambitions. Fatigue due to over
strained nerves may play havoc with
the psychic centers of a person who
struggles hopelessly for fame and
glory. But scarcely can these circum
stances rightly interpret the spirit of
the Cross. The meaning of the Cross
so far as service and suffering are con
cerned, is that It is vicarious. Every

great nnd Important ereot In history
attests tliis fact. Our American liberty
Is t he direct heritage of vicarious
service. Those who fought In the
war which won our Independence were
Impelled to sacrifice their lives for a
dominant. Inspirational Ideal.
The period of martyrdom In every
nation's history Is vocal with the same
truth. Lincoln bore the strain of disap
pointment and suffering not for per
sonal aggrandisement but for tbe sake
of the solidarity of the nation. In
many of our laboratories of scientific
research men are literally offering
their lives In sacrificial service to hn
manlty. This sacrifice Is exemplified
In present discoveries which cure dis
ease regarded as Incurable. Pain has
been controlled also and life pro
longed. The test of tbe spirit of sin
cerity Is a frank refusal to prostitute
tbe result of one's labor for personal
wealth and power. For tbe cause of
others, many labor and sacrifice. Tbe
leader of a great social movement
which Is not personally self-centered,
knows In his own experience, the mean
ing of tbe Crosa. Witness Gandhi In
India; Kagawa In Japan; and General
Booth of the Salvation Army. A few
years aga the representative of tbe
Salvation Army In London cabled a
New Year's message to the (Jolted
States. Tbe message was one word:
??Others."
It is impossible to blend force and
love. The spirit of the Cross must pre
vail if society is to advance. The in
terpretation of tile values revealed
through this meaning of the Cross has
given us our noblest heritage. Tbe law
of force has covered the world with
blood and tears. When the meaning of
tbe Cross shall have become centered
in our economic systems, in our edu
cation*] processes, and in all our social
Hfe, our inherited civilisation will be
secure. Under tbe law of force we fight
I a losing battle.

Q&; (yL/ousefiofd
By Lydia Le Baron Walker
EVERT mother has to te a first aid
nurse even though she be a de
cided amateur In the work. If she
has a natural ability for nursing, she
will become quite expert before her
youngsters are fully grown, and even
though she has no latent abilities for
this work, she cannot fail to become
something of jn adept through experi
ence. Children may be healthy yet
they are sure, when
they are little tots
to get minor cots
and bruises which
will yield quickly to
first aid treatment
when a kiss Is not
sufficient to make a
cure. It Is amaz
ing what a mar
velous first aid a
mother's kiss
proves. It Is a psy
chological remedy, a
kind pleasant to
take.
Most children are
heedless when tt
comes to precau
tions. They are apt
to do things im
pulsively. and fear ,
of accidents does
not enter Into their
minds. Inexperi
ence makes them Ir
responsible. They
learn caution slow
ly. Of course, there
;;re some youngsters who are timid.
I tilt this does not keep them from get
ling bumps, bruises, cuts. etc. They
are not immune from accidents nor
from the effects of their own careless
ness or that of others.
Mother's Aid.
It Is expected, of course, when there
Is anything which simple remedies do
not relieve, that a physician will be
summoned. However, little trouble?
and little accidents may need no
treatment other than that a mother
can give. She shoufcl not be appre
hensive, but she can be careful and
watchful. She cannot do better than
follow directions as given in a Red
Cross First Aid pamphlet. With this
and the use of such family methods as
she remembers being successful, both
In relieving pain and In remedying sick
nesses. her home treatments will be
simplified.
Every child has the proverbial sweet
tooth. To say that children like
candy Is putting It altogether too
mildly. Since nature supplied the
youngsters with this desire, which may
be said to be universal. It stands to
reason that ft should not be totally dis
regarded. Their little systems must
require a certain amount of sugar. The
trouble Is to find out what amount Is
b?st suited to each child in the family
and then comes the question of how
best to satisfy this need.
Sugar on cereal, or honey on It In
stead of sugar, together with fruits
that are sweet, are a general method
of providing for sweets at breakfast
The main sweet for dinner comes In
the dessert. For supper, cookies, or
very simple cake, and stewed fruits or
a little jam or Jelly, will take core of
th*t meal In the matter of sweets.
Every mother has found certain sweets
that suit mealtime requirements of her
little folk.
Candy.
Apart from these regular mealtime
apportionments of sugary foods, chil
dren crave candy. If this la taken
just after a meal. It is the best time
for It This Is partly because a little
will satisfy, or perhaps I should say,
comparatively little. It Is also Id part
because tbe system assimilates the
sweet excellently then. In speaking
as I do about this time for dispensing
candy, let me say In passing, that tbe
advice Is one from a physician of ex
perience.
The kind of candy to give children
Is not fancy chocolates nor rich bon
bons, but simple sorts such as old
fashioned molasses candy, barley sticks,
gum drops, hard sugar candies, that
dwindle by sucking rather than gob
bling down quickly with scarcely any
chewing ? for so It Is that many chil
dren eat confections. Home made
candy Is especially recijmmended, when
It Is of the varieties given.

Lesson for March IS
JESUS TEACHES HIS DISCIPLES
TO PRAY
LESSON TEXT? Luke 11;1-1?.
GOLDEN TEXT? If we a?k anything
according to his will, be heareth u?. ?
I John J:U.
PRIMARY TOPIC? When We Pray.
JUNIOR TOPIC? Teach Ue to Pray.
INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR
TOPIC? VI hat Jetui 8?ys About Prayer.
YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT
TOPIC? Why Should We Pray?
Prayer is a matter which ought t?
be of great concern to every believer,
for, "The Lord is nigh unto all them
that call upon him, to all that call upon
him In truth. He Hill fulfill the desire
of them that fear him ; he also will
hear their cry, and will save them"
(Ps. 145 :18, 19). There was something
about the praying of Jesus that so im
pressed the disciples that they request
ed him to teach them to pray (Luke
11:1). May everyone of us enroll at
once In the school of prayer with
Christ as oar Teacher. In response
to the disciples' request. Jesus set for
the following principles of prayer.
I. The Right Relationship of the
One Praying (v. 2).
1. Filial? "Father." The suppliant
In prayer must be a child of God.
God's gifts and blessings are for his
children. This relationship can only
be entered Into through regeneration.
Not all men have a right to say. "Our
Father," whe* addressing God. Only
those who are children of God by faith
In Jesus Christ can so address him.
2. Fraternal ? "Our Father." God
has many children. His children are
bound up together in nature and In
terests. Even in our secret prayer we
should address him as "Our Father,"
which Is a recognition of the Interest
of others alongside of ours.
II. The Right Attitude in Prayer
fY. 2).
1. Reverent adoration ? "Hallowed
be thy name." As children we have
certain rights and privileges, yet holy
reverence becomes us.
2. Loyalty ? "Thy kingdom come."
When praying to God we should come
with a spirit of loyalty which cries
oat, "Thy kingdom come." We should
not only receive him as the Lord of our
lives, but should loyally labor wilh
him in inducing others to submit to him.
3. Submission? "Thy will be done.?
We should have no will of our own
regarding the rule of God. We should^
let him direct us in all things.
III. The Right Spirit in Prayer (yy.
S-8).
1. Dependent faith? "Give us this
day our daily bread" (v. 3). We should
realize that not only bread, but life
itself is ours to enjoy because of him
and he is able to do for us "exceeding
abundantly above all that we ask or
think."
2. Penitence and love ? "Forgive us
our debts" (v. 4). We should come to
bin) realizing that we have sinned, and
cry out to him for forgiveness. Our
heart should be so filled with love for
others that we will forgive those who
sin against us, as God has so willingly
forgiven us.
3. Holiness and caution ? "Lead us
not into temptation" (v. 4). Because
we are God's children, and realizing
the depravity of our natures and the
consequent tendency to practice that
which displeases him, we should shrink
from that which. If indulged in, would
dishonor him. and earnestly cry unto
liim to lead us not into Jhe place where
we would likely fall.
4. Intercessory (vv. 5, 6). The man
who asked for bread did -not ask for
bimself, but for a friend. Prayer
which pleases God is unselfish in its re
quests.
5. Perseverance (vy. 7, 8). Though
the friend refnsed at first and offered
excuses, because the one making the
request would not take "No" for an
answer, he arose from his bed and
gave him as many as be needed. Pray
er pleases God and gets results.
IV. Encouragement to Pray (yy.
9-12).
L God's promise (vv. S, 10). True
prayer cannot fall of an answer, be
cause God definitely promises that.
"Every one that asketli receive th ; and
he that seeketh findeth : and to him
that knocketh It shall be opened.''
2. Example of an earthly father
(YY. 11-13). No father wlllt give a
stone to his son who at ked for bread,
nor a serpent Instead of a fish, nor a
scorpion Instead of an egg. God is in
finitely more willing to answer the
prayers of his children thaB earthly
parents are to give good gift* to their
children.
V. The True Goal of All Prayer (?.
13).
God's best gift Is himself In the per
son of his Holy Spirit. Ail these who
practice the principles ?fclch Jesos
taught In this model prayer shall ex
perience the blessing of the Holy
Spirit

Black-Draught Relief
Prompt and Refreshing
It's a good idea that so many peo
ple have ? to keep Black-Draught
handy so they can take a dose for
prompt relief at the first sign of
constipation.
Mr. Sherman Sneed, of Evensville,
Tenn, writes: "I take Black-Draught
for constipation which causes head
ache, a bad, tired feeling and for
biliousness, bad taste in the mouth
and sluggish feeling. Black-Draught,
taken about two nights, clears up
this trouble and I get all right."
Men and women like Black- Draught so
well because of the refreshing relief it
brings in constipation troubles.
