DIVORCES BLAMED ON BROKEN DREAMS Dr. Robbins Os Baptist Semi nary Continues Lectures v At Ridgecrest Ridgecrest, July 23. —Dr. G. S. Robbins of the Southern Baptist Theological seminary, Louisville, Ky., said today in a lecture that the chief cause for present day divorce was disillusionment. Dr. Robbins, head of the depart ment of rteligious education and church efficiency at the seminary, who has delivered a series of lec tures this week at the southwide Baptist training union conference here, said “too many young persons fall in love with an unreal ideal - and marry in illusion.’’ “True loves does not rise from a desire for possession, the thrill of a monopolized companionship, phy sical gratification, or the emotional urge to fall in love,” Dr. Robbins said. “True love is inherently un selfish, arising out of self and di rected toward another. The best de finition I know of love is intense concern for the welfare of another." He said the proper basis for love was “an intelligent choice,” and he enumerated standards for checking the reality of one’s love. These in cluded studies of “admiral quali ties”; physical, social, mental and spiritual characteristics; common in terests, and similarity of ideals of the persons who love each other. Dr. Robbins said he did not be lieve the marriages were sealed in heaven but added, “there is, of course, the element of providence in our lives, but between the in dividual and fatalism or predesti nation there stands personal free dom.” He said the chief causes for di vorce were seen in part before and after marriage. “The two chief causes before marriage are unwholesome, sickly sentimentality and undue familiar ities,” he asserted. “There is a widespread breaking down of ideals. Do not put too cheap a price on yourself—your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit.” Dr. Robbins declared that “per haps it is just as well that Romeo and Juliet did not live. Their love, based on an accidental infatuation, might not have lasted.” COTTON PICKER SAVES $10.72 TO THE BALE Memphis, Tenn., -Lily 23.—John and Mack Rust said today a test of the mechanical cotton picker they invented had revealed a saving of $10.72 a bale under hand-picking costs. The test was conducted last sea son on the plantation of John Far gason, near Clarksville, Miss. The average bale price per bale of hand-picked cotton v sis $65.90 while the average for machine pick ed was $65.50, they said, a differ ence of only 40 cents a bale. The fvterage cost per bale of picking by hand was $16.12 while the av erage for machine picking was $5. BROKE 13 BONES BUT DIDN’T HURT AT ALL Des Moines, lowa, July 23.—Leon D. Cates, Des Moines insvfra'nce salesman, suffered 13 broken bones and a Concussion in an automobile accident but never felt pain. “You see,” he explained as he recovered in a hospital here, “I was unconscious for three days after the crash. For three weeks more I didn”t feel anything. The doctors said it was because of the brain concussion.” Before he included lespedeza in his crop rotation, John Lyon of Yanceyville, Route 1, produced only 7 and 8 bushels of wheat per acre on a nine-acre field. This past spring, he averaged 15.3 bushels an acre. FIRE! HAIL! Both are dangerous, both can wipe out property worth thousands of dollars in a few minutes.

GUIUk j SELF-TIMERS You can take a picture of the family picnic and be In it yourself by using ; a self timer. 'T'HE question is often asked, “Is -*■ there any way that I can take a snapshot of my friends and Include myself in the picture?” There certainly is away and a simple one. Use a self timer. A self timer Is a most fascinating little gadget and almost human in Its operation. It is an inexpensive accessory that fits over the metal button, or plunger, at the end of the j cable release, which you press to take a snapshot with a folding cam -1 era. It cannot, however, he used un ! less the camera Is fitted with a cable : release. Here Is how It works. First you i locate your subject in the finder and I at the same time plan the space you ; will occupy when you step into the ' picture. Suppose you want to take a pic ture of a group on a picnic or at the ;beach. You will have to have the camera on a tripod, table or some i thing solid. Locate the group in the . finder—and be sure you can see the Deadliest Gas Known Claimed By Chemist Ames, lowa, July 24—J. Leon Prenn, 23, curly haired chemist stu dent at lowa State College, believes he has prefected a “poison gas” which destroys gas masks as effi ciently as it kills human beings. Frenn, whose home is in New York city, holds a commission as second lieutenant in the United States army ordiance department. He believes his discovery will be of great bene fit to the army in time of war. The gas can be manufactured cheaply from the waste products of copper and zinc smelters, oil refin eries and common salt, he said. He has filed an account of his experi ments with the college library as a requirement for a bachelor’s degree in chemical engineering. Prenn said the gas was a combin ation of mustard gas and phosgene, two lethal weapons of the World war, plus an unnamed ingredient which removes the soda-lime ele ment used in all present day gas masks. The soda lime, he said, neutralizes the acidity of gases drawn into gas masks before they are filtered through a carbon layer to remove the poison. Without the soda lime in the mask, Prenn said, the poison gas would reach the lungs more quick ly, causing death.

You can purchase a self timer at tachment from almost any store that sells photographic supplies., They are not expensive and last a lifetime. Some cameras have self timers incorporated in the shutter con struction, so if you have this type of camera and have never used the self timer you have missed a lot of fun and picture taking opportunities. J-hd van Guilder started to find a use for the millions of tons of waste sulphor dioxide gas cast into the air by copper and zinc smelters. He averred that since the United States has the only large deposits of sulphur and sulphur dioxide in the world sufficiently isolated to permit the manufacture of such a gas, there seemed little chance for any other nation to make use of the process. He said poison gases of this type kept only a few months and must be manufactured shortly before use. Reservoirs of sulphur dioxide gas from the smelters and of ethlene gas from the oil refineries—the two principal ingredients—qould easily be constructed in isolated areas, Prenn suggested in his report. He suggested also thfit the gas could be stored for short intervals in caverns left when gas and oil wells are exhausted, and withdrawn when needed. The young chemist made his ex periments at great personal risk, and wore a gas mask during the ac tual manufacture of the product.

Consider these two records: Record No. 1 —Within a recent ten-year period, the Norfolk and Western has expended $3,400,000 for the elimination of highway grade crossings on its lines. B To Safeguard the thousands who cross its tracks at grade, the railway has spent fejJJS ■te3| more thon $780,000 for the installation of protective devices ot crossings. For the maintenance of these devices ond the pay of gatemen and watchmen, it spends ap proximately $240,000 annually. For years, the N. &W. has carried on a vigorous and jj— unremitting campaign to educate the automobile driver to "Stop, Look and Listen." Record No. 2 Incredible as it may seem, about 20 per cent of all the grade I crossing Occidents on the N. &W. last year were due to automobiles being driven f i into the sides of trains, either standing on, or passing over, grade crossings; and 132 automobile drivers drove through and broke down crossing gates which had been lowered for their protection. A recent check at a number of protected cross- K’ \ ' ings on the N. &W. revealed first, that of the total number of automobile drivers who arrived at crossings after the warning signals had begun to operate ond before the trains had reached the crossings, 61 per cent continued to cross the tracks in IfiL*. “ utter disregard of the warnings; second, that in practically every cose the attitude WSSt ■f* - % and conduct of the driver indicated a full consciousness of the signal warning ond 3 its purpose WSm 3 Largely through its huge expenditures and constant vigilance in the interest kJS9 of public safety, grade crossing accidents on the N. &W. have been reduced 40 per fcjjjjjl ESS cent during the past ten years. But the tropic ond utterly useless destruction of BjjSß life continues. IB3BS This is the seoson when automobile traffic is heoviest. It is the "open season" EjgS MCBBa for highway grade crossing accidents. The exercise of caution on your part may WSSSSi E£*9' save your life. What you soy to a friend may save his life. The N. & W. and the fcjjjjj® other railroads of the country ccnnot alone solve this serious problem. They are '1555M doing more thon their port.
