For at least two-thirds of the people, if they were to get a good look at themselves as they appear to others, would hie away to the nearest opti cian or optometrist and order glasses,—thinking surely their eyesight was badly impaired! ** * * There is only One who sees all of us just as we are. His Allseeing Eye is not biased with malice or envy or un-kind judgement in making its ap praisal of earth-bound mortals. For if is written of Him: “ The Lord seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the Lord looketh on the heart.” So, the prayer all people need to pray is that they might see themselves as they appear to God. If that prayer should be literally answered most people, including preachers, instead of hieing away to the nearest eye specialist, would make a break for the “Mourner’s Bench.” ** * * ' “As the automobile industry continues to promise and de sign more powerful and speedy cars for the future, we hear an increasing number of people insisting that “Governors” should be placed in all automo biles.

Inset: microscope photograph of nematode, eel-like worm which dees great damage in gardens and fields, Home gardeners are learning to recognize damage to plants caused by microscopic soil worms, called nematodes. Root crops such as car rots, beets, turnips, produce poorly and may be short, brushy, crooked, or forked. Cucumber and melon vines show injury by wilting in summer . weather but reviving overnight, and yielding poorly. Tomato vines fail to develop well and bear few tomatoes. Roots pf injured plants often show galls or knots; mav be thickened or decayed at rootlet tips. Scientists of- The Dow Chemical Company, after studying hundreds of fields, say that nematodes are the cause of most so-called “sick’' or ‘‘wornrout’f pultivated laftd. Where nematodes are controlled, crops and vegetable* grow better. A clear, free-running liquid chemical which vaporizes when placed in the soil, a half cupful in seventy-five feet of row, gives home garclen , ers excellent control of these destructive microscopic pests. * Natives cl the African Ugabda iwgard milk as a truly royal bev erage.
