Magazine Editor Head of Wisconsin U
Election of Glenn Frank, editor of
the Century Magazine, for president M
the University of Wisconsin by the
board of regents came after a nation
wide search for a man young in years
but mature in experience and with
a definite poiicy. Frank's belief that
Church and schools and state should
work together to bring about greater
beneCts for the commonwealth and ;
the fact that his age, thirty-eight, j
gives him many years in which to de
velop Wisconsin, convinced the re
gents that he was the man for the
post. Wisconsin for many years has
lacked coordination between its agri
cultural schools, its commerce courses
and the letters and science college.
Mr. Frank has accepted the posi
tion. He was bom in Queen City, Mo.,
October 1, 1887, and received his bach
eior of arts degree from morinwesteru
university in 1912 and a doctor's degree
. from Lincoln Memorial university in
1922. He was assistant to the president of Northwestern university in 1912-16
ttnd was engaged in research work from 1916 to 1919. He succeeds Dr. Edward
A. Blrge.

Unde Sam !s to Print Lots of Money
The treasury has made plans for
printing more paper money in the next
fiscal year than ever has been turned
out by the American government in
any other twelve months in history.
C&ders have been prepared for the
purchase of 200,000,000 sheets of dis
tinctive silk fiber paper, from each
sheet of which eight pieces Of cur
rency are made. Beginning July 1, the
bureau of engraving and printing will
be run at maximum capacity to meet
the nation's paper money require
ments..
Coincident with announcement of
the printing program, Assistant Sec-*
retary C. S. Dewey, whose job it is to
see that there is plenty of money
available in the country, announced
that the treasury would take Its first
step on July 1 toward building up a
Bn \ ^
reserve of currency. By this method,
it is hoped, the iife of the paper money
may be prolonged. An opportunity wili
be had for "curing" the money before it goes into active service, and this
process is expected to keep it from fraying, cracking, and otherwise going to
pieces so easiiy. ' ^
The iife of the one-dollar biil now is oniy about eight months, whereas
treasury experts figure it should be about a year. In pre-war days the average
dollar bill would wear about fourteen or fifteen months. Mr. Dewey is con
vinced that higher prices, use of automobiles, the necessities of commerce and
industry, and modern ideas and habits compel the carrying of more money
Thus the silver dollar has fallen into disuse.
Woman Sees New European War at Hand
Gently, almost deferentially, Mme.
Slavko y Grouitch introduced reality
Into the American Academy of Po
litical Science the other day In Phil
adelphia. Sandwiched between aca
demic papers on American co-opera
tion abroad she warned that a new
European war is at hand. Never since
1914, in May of which year she visited
this country to alarm leading Ameri
cans to warlike omens, has Europe
been so tense and the nations so fear
ful of an early outbreak, Mme. Grou
itch assured the conference.
The American-born wife of the
Yugo-Slav minister at Washington
pressed her conviction that Europe
has no substitute for war in sight.
"There Is no use pretending," said
Mme. Grouitch quietly, "that war has
been done away with while it stll! Is so
soothing to politicians and so stimu
lating to national pride and courage.
War is the narcotic of the nations,
quieting domestic dissension and inflaming the ardors and passions of the
people."
Nor did Mme. Grouitch's appeal to realism stop there. Speaking from the
experience of twenty-hve years as a diplomats wife, she asserted it is people,
not ambassadors, who make wars. She likewise declared that feminine demand
for luxuries, driving men to excesses to obtain them, is a potent influence
toward war. Men will and do Hght to give their women what they desire, and
women today desire more than the world will supply peaceably.
Judge Starts War on Obscene Prints
Acting on a request from Federal
Judge James H. Wlikerson, James A.
O'Callaghan, assistant United States
district attorney, has started d drive
to rid the mails and news stands of all
indecent and obscene publications. In
a communication to Postmaster Gen
eral Harry S. New at Washington, Mr.
O'Callaghan named about twenty pub
lications, some with a circulation of
nearly a million, which he contends
are indecent.
The action followed a hearing in
which the publisher of a Chicago mag
azine, now excluded from the United
States mails, sbught to mandamus
Postmaster Arthur C. Lueder to com
pel him to give the magazine mail
privileges.
Xfter listening to several passages
from the magazfn? as read to him by
Prosecutor O'Call, jhan, Judge Wilker
son said : "Wpy, this is just kindergar
ten work ap compared to some of the
magazines found on the news stands." He then added that the government
seemed to be practicing discrimination in favor of the more'Influential maga
zines, which made it hard for him to decide upon the case.
"In the meantime, Mr. O'Callaghan/' Judge Wilkerson added, "visit gome
newspaper stand and get the names of ali these filthy and lewd publications.
Send their names to the postmaster general with the request that he immo
diatety talt* steps to deny the use of thq maiis to these pubilcations whic^
has# an evil inRuence on the youth of ohr country."

21,854 Veterhna Die !n Year,
in the fast Baca! year 21,854 veterans
of the Civi! war and 21,296 widows of
veterans were claimed by death. These
figures give rise to many serious
thoughts, the commissioner of pen
sions points out. What shall be done
o presene to future generations the
history, traditions, iessons and inspi
ration of the wars, the intimate per
sona! history of which is found in the
4,600.000 pension claims in the flies
jf the pension bureau? In years to
come, this bureau wiii be the mecca
for thousands upon thousands seeking
information concerning the men who
fought in the Civii war.
By act of August 7, 1882, the con
gress made provision for the Pension
huiiding as a memorial to the men who
bore the brunt of battle in war. and
especiaiiy. in the Civii war. Thecor
ner stone was iaid on March 19, 1883.
and in May. 1885, the operations of
the pension system wehe transferred
to the new buiiding. The exterior
frieze of the buiiding, showing a pro^
cession of soldiers and saiiors of ali
branches of the service, was designed
by Casper Buber!, and is indestructible
evidence for aii ages of the purposes
for which the structure was author
ized. designed, buiided and dedicated.
Pian War Materia! Exhibit
in Washington and elsewhere
throughout the country there is a
wealth of materia! that can be brought
together for display within the pen
sion buiiding, showing the distinctive
accouterments and implements of each
of our wars; aiso models, paintings,
heiriooms and relics. The pension bu
reau wouid thus become one of the
attractions of the national capital.
Now that the ranks of our Civil war
veterans are fast thinning, it is
thought atting that steps be taken to
make tl^jePensipn odlce bulldinga last
ing museum of our nation's wars, from
whose honored dead, as the martyred
Lincoln voiced his thought in his Get
tysburg address, "we take increased
devotion to that cause foc^ which they
gave the last full measure of devotion;
that we here highly resolfe that these
dead shall not have died in vain; that
this nation, under God, shall have a
new birth of freedom, and that gov
ernment of the people, by the people
and for the people, shall not perish
from the earth."

out their eciipses for the next three
years. Under the (direction of Capt
W. S. Eicheiberger they now are start

Alaska. Another totai of the moon in
1927 wii take place December 8, vis
ible generally in the PaciHc ocean and
in the northern part of North Amer

occur on December 24.
Mercury Dot on Run.
Another heavenly phenomenon wili
be seen in 1927 in the transit of Mer
cury, which will appear as a dot on
the sun. On November 10 the transit
will take place, visible generally in
the PaciHc ocean, Australia and Asia,
except in the northern and western
portions. It will be visible at . Hono
lulu, Manila and Samoa.
In 1928 three of the sun and two of
the moon will be the order of eclipses.
Captain Eicheiberger considers that
the total solar eclipse of May 19 that
year will be a curious one, oniy part
of the resulting shadow falling on the
earth, appearing as a piece on the
south of Africa, and as a partiai in
South Africa and the southern part
of South America.
A total of the moon, June 8, will
be visible in the western parts of
North and South America, the PaciHc
ocean. Australia and the eastern bor
der of Asia. Partial solar eclipses
wii! occur June 17 and November 12,
a total of the moon transpiring No

Saul, the new missionary, who was
to lead in the evangelization of the
heathen, having been miraculously
called to his work, it was necessary
that a new religious center be estab
lished. Antioch became that center.
!. Preaching the Word of God at
Antioch (vv. 19-21).
Persecution at Jerusalem scattered
the disciples abroad. Some went
amohg the Jews only with the gospel
message, while those from Africa and
Cyprus courageously crossed the line
and preached to the Greeks also. The
Lord blessed their work in granting
many conversions. So great was the
stir that the news reached Jerusalem,
the mother church. Persecution
worked for good in this case as well
as in many since. These humble peo
ple with hearts touched with the
Spirit went out with the glad mes
sage of life to others.
H. Barnabas Sent to Inspect the
Work (vv. 22-26).
I. The Character of Barnabas (v.
24).
He was a good man. It is important
in sending a Man to follow up the
work of the Spirit that his character
be good. He must not only have an
unblemished character, but his sym
pathy must be broad. He must be
capable of entering In full apprecia
tion of the things about him. Barna
bas was full of the Hply Spirit. This
is an essential qualification for pas
toral work. Only a Spirit-filed man
can discern the workings of the Spirit
of God. He Was likewise a man of
great faiths Only a man of faith
should Instruct young Christians.
2. Work Done by Bamabas (vv. 28,
25, 26).
(a) He heartily endorsed the work
and earnestly exhorted them to con
tinue steadfastly in the faith, and to
cleave unto the Lord. There are
many allurements to tempt young
Christians.
(b) He rejoiced over the work
which had been done. This shows
that Bamabas could rejoice over the
successful work done by others.
(c) He brought Saul from Tarsus
(v. 25).
He did more than merely Inspect
the work. Doubtless he preached also
for many people were added unto the
Lord. The work grew to such an ex
tent that he brought Saul to help him.
They labored together for a year with
great success, and carefully taught
the people. Believers, after they have
confessed Christ, need careful teach
ing. Bamabas had the good judg
ment to seek Saul for this important
work. It is the duty of church ofH
cials to seek out men and women who
are qualified for the Lord's work,
bringing them from their places of
obscurity and setting them to work in
the Lord's vineyard. Saul was a more
important man than Barpabas. There
are many men in obscurity who re
quire a Bamabas to bring them forth.
HI. The Disciples First Called Chris
tlane (v. 26).
They were not called by this name
in derision as often asserted. Stiller
well says, "What Luke intends to con
vey is that Saul and Bamabas taught
in the church for a year and the dis
ciples were first called Christians.
The name was a consequence of the
teaching." Green renders the passage
thus: "And it came to pass with them
that they were combined even for a
whole year in the church, and taught
much people, and that the disctp es
were first called Christians at An
tioch." This distinctive title came
through Divine guidance. It was ow
ing to the teaching of Sau! and
Bamabas that this body called the
church was given its unique stand ng
and place. Let it be remembered that
it was not given as a term of re
proach but because of the close re
semblapce of the body to its hea .
Christy ^ ,,
IV. Benevolence of the Church
Antioch (vv. 27-30).
They made up money for the po
saints at Jerusalem and sent it by
hands of Bamabas and Saui
genuineness of the work at Annoc
is proven by their good deeds. It
further emphasized in that there w
no division between Jew and Genu
Christians. The Gentiles ministers
to the Jews.
