EW YORK.—Among his com-
panions in barnstorming, Glenn
L. Martin was known as “The
Dude,” although his carefully tai
u . u . lored flying suits
martin Had were always
Get-Up of black, including
Mortician their elaborate
braid trimmings.
His somewhat mortuary get-up and
behavior gave an impression of
great conservatism, and it is not
surprising that he got backing from
the bankers when other aviators
failed.
A few months ago, he said his
Glenn L. Martin company, of Balti
more, making planes, had a back
log of $15,500,000.
He told the house naval af
‘ fairs committee there should be
a 100 per cent increase in air
armaments, that foreign nations
, are spending ten times as much
, as the United States. He would
| build a 250,000-pound bomber,
j carrying 30 men and a 4,000-
; pound bomb load 11,000 miles.
' In 1912, this writer saw him put
an inflated inner tube around his
neck, strap a compass on his leg
and take off to sea, at Avalon bay,
Los Angeles, in a flying laundry
wagon on which he had rigged a
single wooden pontoon. He was
bound for Catalina island, 20 miles
away. It looked like suicide.
He not only made it, but picked
up again at Catalina and finished
n , . the rbund trip.
Round Trip blanking Bleriot,
Sea Flight whose flight over
Is Success the British chan
nel was a one-way
excursion. He had made the plane
in an abandoned church.
The flight got him world atten
tion. Then he staged a plane coyote
hunt, dropped a ball into a catcher’s
mitt and a bouquet into the arms
of a beauty contest queen.
This air extravaganza did not
last long. In 1913, he built and
sold two model TT war planes
to the army, and has been build
ing fighting craft ever since,
with the exception of trans-Pa- .
■ eifie Clippers.
He grew up in Mackburg, lowa,
built a pusher plane in his back
yard and flew it in 1908. He is
fifty-two.

VyiLLIAM JENNINGS BRYAN,
v * in his seersucker suit and his
rumpled hat, frequently looked as
if he had been sleeping under a
bridge, especially
Bryan,. Jr., in the midst of a
Fastidious hard campaign.
About Dress His son, William
Jennings Bryan,
Jr., is fussy about his dress, severe
ly and fastidiously groomed, with
a jaunty little moustache and a nice
collection of malacca sticks, sports
clothes, and varied haberdashery.
He is in the news now as he be
comes collector of customs at the
port of Los Angeles, his first recog
nition by the California Democracy,
in whose vineyard he has labored
for years.
When his father laid down his
staff and scrip at Dayton, Tenn.,
he picked from the legacy only
two things—free silver and anti
evolution. He is quite unmoved
by oratory, speaking with calm,
legalistic precision, with no gift
for the resounding or oracular.
He has made spirited foraja
against this or that, notably Upton
c . Sinclair’s “Epic”
Will Speak heresy of 1934, but
Good Word with no such im
for Silver passioned fervor
as that which in
spired his father. But, when oc
casion offers, he puts in a word for
silver, or against evolution.
After the Dayton trial and his fa
ther’s death, he made a knightly
vow that his lance always should
be leveled against this ignoble the
ory of man’s origin. But nobody
seems to be bringing that up now.
The argument is shifting to where
man is going.
He attended the University of Ne
braska three years, studied law at
Georgetown university, went to Ari
zona on account of his wife’s health,
and practiced law, first in Arizona
and then in Los Angeles. He is
fifty years old.

Origin of Word Assassin
The word assassin originated in
Persia in the Eleventh century. It
derives from hashish, the intoxicat
ing Indian drug which at that time
was used by notorious murderers
under one Hasan-i-Sabbah to work
themselves into the high state of
ruthlessness required for their
crimes. As a tactic in attacking
vested authority assassination is as
old as man. It is notably the most
übiquitous ahd immediate of dan
gers to autocratic governments as
has been proved by the violent
deaths at a high percentage of dic
tators from Julius Caesar to those
of modern times.

Lesson for March 27
CORRECTING WRONG IDEAS
OF RELIGION
LESSON TEXT—Mark 7:113.
GOLDEN TEXT—This people honoreth me
with their lips, but their heart Is lar from
me. Mark 7:8.
PRIMARY TOPIC—At Dinner-Time.
JUNIOR TOPIC—What Is Real Religion?
INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC—
What Counts with God?
YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC-
Sidestepping Responsibilities.
The never-ending struggle of
Christianity is to keep the simple
gospel of the grace of God in Christ
Jesus free to operate in all its glory
and power, unencumbered by the
traditions and formulas of men. It
has been my privilege to read a
recent book by a brilliant young
man who, while serving as a profes
sor of philosophy in a large univer
sity, is also versed in the related
fields of theology, psychology, psy
chiatry, and psychotherapy. He has
had first-hand experience in dealing
with the problems of men and
women. With this background of
both study and experience he gives
it as his absolute conviction that
we must get “back to the original
simplicity of the Christian gospel.”
He suggests that we need to “dust
off the additions and superstruc
tures” that have been added since
Christ came to seek and to save the
lost.
Our lesson for today finds Jesus
meeting that very issue with the
traditionalists of His day.
I. Washed Hands and Unwashed
Hearts (w. 1-6).
In the process of interpreting the
law of Moses and applying it to the
affairs of daily life the religious
authorities of Israel had developed
a mass of intricate and onerous
rules which had literally .buried
the law itself and had substituted
ritualistic formalism for spiritual
life. So fond had the scribes and
the Pharisees become of these tradi
tions that they became bold enough
to declare that they were far su
perior to the law itself.
Their attack on Jesus because His
disciples ate with unwashed hands
did not refer to the proper cleans
ing of one’s hands before eating,
but to the ceremonial washings
which were said to be necessary if
me had accidentally touched a
Gentile, or something that a Gen
tile had touched in the market place.
Jesus skillfully and finally dis
poses of that question by reminding
the objectors that thpy were serving
God with their lips only, but their
hearts were far from Him. Washed
hands are not a thing to be con
demned, and Jesus says nothing
about that point. When the wash
ing of hands becomes of more im
portance than the cleansing of the
heart, however, the soul is in real
danger.
H. Traditions of Man Versus the
Commandment of God (w. 7-13).
Here is the heart of the entire mat
ter, for while we may not always
be aware of it the fact is that
our anxiety to maintain human
tradition which is contrary to the
law and Spirit of God is fundament
ally for the purpose of evading our
full and true responsibility.
The Jew who was so avaricious
that he did not wish to support his
aged and needy parents could en
tirely evade that God-given respon
sibility by declaring that his prop
erty was “Corban,” dedicated to
God. Thereafter no matter how
great was the need of his parents
they could receive nothing. The
execution of this oath was carried
out to such a fine point that a son
who had declared his property
to be “Corban” could visit a sick
father or mother for only a brief
period lest he might stay long
enough to perform some duties of a
nurse and so contribute to his par
ents by saving them some expense.
Thus do men even in our day
make “the word of God of none ef
fect” (v. 13), through their tradi
tions. No right minded person ob
jects to the worthy traditions of
worship and service which are such
a precious heritage of the Christian
church. Rightfully apprehended and
properly used they are both desir
able and helpful. But we must never
permit the grace and power of
God in Jesus Christ "to be brought
under the trammels of human teach
ers or the arrangements of human
Office-bearers. The first movement
toward the mastery of the soul by
tradition is the movement of that
soul away from immediate, direct,
first-hand fellowship with God”
(Morgan).
The crying need of our day, as it
was of the time when Jesus was on
earth, is that we should clear away
hindering encumbrances.

BUTTON
SAID to be the largest button In
the world, this button is flower
shaped, as shown In the picture,
four feet In diameter and hand
carved of 'Tyralln" cellulose ni
trate plastic. It was shown at the
recent National Notion and Novelty
Exhibit in New York City.
Twelve days and an expenditure
of $172.00 were required in the
making of this huge dress acces
sory intended to symbolize the
growing vogue for buttons of plas
tic materials.
Note the big, colored plastic but
tons which trim the smart navy
blue sheer dress worn by the model.
Leading designers will use buttons
lavishly to accent Spring and Sum
mer gowns this year.
In 1937, the Post Office Depart
ment handled over 8 billion dollars
in financial transactions. (More
money than there is in circulation.)
