It completely reverses dictum to the effect that,J?ald- irises from too pei^istent wear- }t hat or cap. The new theory is it is the violet ray in the sun- it which kills tlie hair and causes to fall out. For our part we be- ieve neither theory, says the Michigan State Journal. Baldness is a distinc tion the Creator has served up from jthe beginning against tliis day wlien women have taken everything that ap- pertaineth to man—his trousers, his ballot, his tobacco—reverything but his bald head. The distinction of the bald head is vouchsafed to men as a grand hailing sign amongst brothers. We have not yet come to the view that sci ence is everj'thlng. We still like to believe in special dispensations. In 1920 two-thirds of our newsprint ■was from wood grown on foreign soil. We paid $191,000,000 for imported pulp wood, wood pulp and paper, and have become to this extent dependent upon markets beyond our control. As the forest service pointedly states, we have mills without forests in the East, and forests witiiout mills in the West. Alaska, with its generous growth of spruce and hemlock, has but one mill. Ail this means increased cost and high prices. Nor can Canada be looked to i indefinitely as a source of supply. The logical remedy is to build more mills on the Pacific slope while reforesting, the East, says the Scientific American. Skill, money, energy and time are de manded by this program, but vastly higher penalties will follow our pres ent indifference. , P^NOER iiulUlAN CHUftCHK^ Oat of sloii^r of the churchn o( Rqisia, th«t organl«atloD of r^bberyi the lioTlet ^govemmeDt, seeks to proldng Its life for - anotl^r period.

"Is It right,’\ they - ask, *‘that the priests should retain. In uselessness, these jewels, this gold and silver plate, these vessels of untold vafue, while the people are starving?" This dust they throw in the eyes of the people, though they have waited to throw it until mil lions have starved, and until the Red army is* running short of equipment They are now raiding the churches right an^ left, and their spoil already amounts to many millions of dollars. It is well known that the wealth of the Russian churches Is enormous. Every church has Its Ikons or sacred pictures, which serve the purpose of Images, barred in the orthodox Worship, and the .frames of these ikons are fre quently studded with jewels. The al tars ' are decorated with carvings In gold. Rich vessels abound, and vest ments are ornamented with jewels as well as with gold. ■MOVD iNlMiV MIUWIl^ Lesson (By RBV. P. B. FITZWATER, D.

All of which is one more example of jpurely relative value. Of itself of ipractically no intrinsic worth what ever, such is the human sense of things 'that for the gratification of a whim of the lightest type men are willing to pay a king’s ransom, when thousands, perchance but a few hours’ journey away, may be in greatest need of daily Loecessities. i Keep your mind filled with creative ; thoughts and we will all be squeezing |your hand and congratulating you for ;one thing or another—possibly for ’making good with the manhood that is yours. And that, as you know, is a- devil of a big accomplishment—better jthan leading the sales force, writing a isuccessful play or a best seller, or per- 'forming any other stunt that wins the (plaudits of the mob. 4. Boston pastor has been ousted be cause in saying gmce he prayed: “Thank Thee, O Lord, for the French fried potatoes.” That form of grace ils not only unconventional, "but it iniij.' lead to ins . .vrity. Suppi se, I tor instance, suggests the ’ Houston Post there had been carrots on the i table? Censorship, as practiced in modem societies, serves neither morals nor art. Censors are never—even when they are not appointed for obscure political rea sons—fit for the Job. No one who is fit for the job is ever willing to be a cen sor, writes Katherine Fullerton Ger- ould in the Saturday Evening Post The things that get by are as absurd as the things that are held up, and vice versa. Censorship, properly maiiUged, demands an immense store of knowl edge, long experience of literature and art, extremely wise judgment, entire lack of prejudice and a profound ac quaintance with human psychology. In ail these gifts professional reformers are rather notoriously lacldng. This is not the place to enter into a discus sion of the reforming instinct, but it might be said in passing* that more than most contemporary types the re formers cry out to be psycho-analyzed. lib who 'follows the dictates of an artistic conscience in the quest of beauty will discover that if he expects to reach its finest manifestations he must obey a code of conduct highly similar to that which another has come to by seeking spiritual beauty. To rest the case on physical beauty alone, anyone knows that physical beauty cannot survive in a career of debauchery, and that hate, selfishness, | greed and frivolity cover the face with 1 ugly handwriting. It was a sorry day for the world when it fell into sup posing that there is any fundamental hostility between beauty and religion. Properly considered, they are two words for the same thing. At Newport, Ky., jury Is so be wildered by the oratory of lawyers that it,returns a criminal verdict in a civil case. Judge Caldwell gas^s and orders the “12 good men and true” back to the jury room to rectify their mistake. When the average trial is over, few participants have a crystal-clear Jdea of what it was all about. The goal of mol? lawyers is to hypnotize the jury by the mesmeric music of oratory and by the dramatic staging of trials. This Is the weaki*^ point of our system of so-called justice—swaying the jurors by emotional instead of intellectual ap peal. Germany’s floating debt at present is 277,320,000,000 marks. The reason ! this debt floats is that it is made of paper.

YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC —Jesus Helps the Sinful and dbrrowfiU. I. A Penitent Woman's Act of Love (w. 37. 48). 1. Place of (v. 37). It was In the home of Simon the Pharisee while Jesus was sitting at meat. The feast must have been public, else she could not have so readily gained ac cess. 2. The Act of (v. 38). She washed Jesus’ feet with her tears and wiped them with her hair. Through some means she had heard of Jesus’ pardon ing grace, and God had opened her heart to receive Him as her Saviour. Out of a heart of gratitude she kissed His feet and anointed them with pre cious ointment 3. Who She Was (v. 37). Her name is not mentioned. She was of a notoriously bad character. Though known to the public as a bad woman, something had happened which trans formed her. She was now a saved sinner, because she believed on Jesus Christ. II. The Pharisee's Displeasure (v. 39). Simon felt scandalized by such a happening at his table. He was a re spectable man. For Jesus to tolerate such familiarity on the part of a woman of such evil repute greatly perplexed him. He reasoned that If Jesus were a prophet He would have known the character of this woman and would have either withdrawn His feet from her or thrust her back with Uiem, or if He knew, her charac ter His tolerance of such familiarity proved that He was not a good man. Simon’s righteousness was of that sort which gathers up its skirts and gives the sinner a backward push into his filth. III. Jesus Teaches the Pharisee (w. 40-48). He taught him by means of a par able of a creditor and two debtors. Observe that Jesus made it very clear that He not only knew the woman, but knew Simon also. 1. The Common Debt (v. 41). ^e woman was a sinner, so was Simon, though he was not the same kind of a sinner that she was. There were two debtors, though the one owed ten times as nmch as the other. This Is representative of all sinners still. Hie Rjji)ie declares all to be sinners, yet recognizes degrees of guilt. Full cred it ought to be given to the man who is honest virtuous, generous and kind. Yet such a life will not secure entrance into heaven. The Savior's words are a severe rebuke to the re spectable Pharisees who are sitting In judgment against the sinners of a coarser type. • 2. The Common Insolvency (v. “And when they had nothing to piay” Jesus freely granted the difference In the degree of the woman’s sins ai)d these of the Pharisee, but drove Tiome ^o him the fact that they were both debtors and had nothing with which to pay (Rom. 3:23). Therefore ;all have need of a Saviour. As sinners we may quit our isfnning and hate our deeds, but that does not niake satis faction for th«sins of the past. What w^e have done is irrevocable—^It has passed from our reaxjh; ” Every trans gression sfaail receive a Just recom pense of regard . (Heb. 2:6)., We must come to our Creditor, God Almighty, and acknowledge our insolvency and accept the kindness of Jesus Christ who b<x‘e our sins in His own body on the tree (I Pet 2:24). We are all paupers, and instead of judging each other fa^io relative guilt, we should come to God and sue* for pardon- 3. The Relation of For^veness iWid Love (vv. 44r48.. Simon’s reluctant., answer to Jesus’ question shows that he got the poiq};, oj! Jesus’ teaching.. ^ In order, to make His teaching con- '<irete He turned to the woman, call- ' ihg Simon’s attention to what she had i done in contrast to what h# had done. {Simm had neglected to, extend to I Jesus the common courtesies of a re- _ spectabie guest, but this, forgiven woman had lavished upon Him her ! affection and gifts.

HAMLIN ARTICLE (Continued from page one) or a shameful failure ha^gs on the uncertain “tick.” But the outside world and past misgivings became oblivious as he lowers his gun, springs the triger, knits his brow, pricks his ear to the sound of breaking twigs, and centers his eye on every flutter ing leaf, awaiting the stealthy leap of fleeing game. There! bang! All is ov^r and a five prong antler is wel tering at his feet. The tramp of rushing hunters, the lull in the chase, the wagging tails in the air and the horn on the mountain top calling off the chase— all seem to conspire in one acclaiAi: “The man of Gloucester the great mogul of the chase." Chestnut gap from common tacit consent *is now and forever, Gloucester gap. As the wax candle flickered a dim light over a table of smoking vians, the man of Gloucester with fatigue forgotten, mind elated and spirits bouyant, finds himself seated with his coligues at the supper table for it seems to be an unwritten law that a successful day should be commemor ated by a festival evening. Now the long and wide hearth stone with a crackling fire made lum inous by a huge pine-knot is encircle^ by the ahtoipiens of the day, each with hi/’lndian made pipe of peace and good will, well filled and ^pped in hot embers sends forth cnrling smo|ce and stimulating orders as the episodes of the day are rehashed, ‘re- pictured and delineated in coldi^al verbasty — the attempted <'illv|sions of the game and the individualities of the pack as displayed in each chase were dwelt upon in detail: how Leau with almost human intellect forestai- lled the voice of the bucks or the yelp of Trail at the pscychological time and'vt the stragetic place put every thing into harmonious oneness; the opening of Drive spelt accuiracy of persuit and the stimulating cry of Spitog gi^yji'inspiration to the whole drive, men and dogs — all passed in review. When all was said that could be said on the subject in hand some of the old hunters were reminded of more exciting encounters with the var mints’ that infested the land. They told of bearding the bear in his lair and how by the skin of the teeth they escaped the squeeze of unfriendly arms; how wolves in their dog-defin- ance put hunters on the defensive, their dogs turning the hair the vinrong way would flee leaving the a^iled to the cuts and parries of his butcher .knife as he backward ni0|ved to the nearest tree. They told ^of hair .breadth escapes from panthers whose; method of warfare were of the taip- bush kind^ how they would poipe'Vn the opposite side of trunk of triees, spring upon unsuspecting pasers-by, man or beast and i® ^ moment of time with teeth and claws lacerated their prey info a mangled corpse. All this was beyond the ken of a eity tinker and lead to a mental decis ion of resting on laurals already at tained in the initiatory degree. At a wee hour of the night with hair on end but a clear conscience within, and a mind frought with suc cess in a new field, the Englishman foUnd himself curled up in Eider down comfort and was soon wafted into dreamland. With no law to evict, no inclination to suppress, the scenes of the day passed before his dreamy vision with dramatic precis ion, only, the mountains of Buncombe were transformed into the heather a- round the.suburbs of Gloucester and the actors the comrades of boyhood days. ' ’ Next morning at the breakfast tab le he related lus dream with gusto as a condiment that went well with the vinison; adding, that Buncombe and Gloucester to him had become one. With due difference the people began to call the country the Englishman’s Gloucester: very soon the appendage was dropped and Gloucester designat ed, not an isolated gap, but the entire hunting ground of Western Bun combe. The Englishman, like Alice’s Cat in Wonderland "vanished but left its smile, faded from history but left a name for the country he loved and is still perpetuated and kept familiar as one of the townships of Transylvania County.
