If you are a keen observer and sen-
modern life, you are already cogniz-
.rt"of the fact 4hat ther is some
h!iui,life. Contemporary American
seems to contribute to the break
ing up of "v the old-fashioned home.
Parents have, for the most part,
turned over to the public school the
J responsibility for the mental training
of their children and relinquished to
. the Sunday School and Church the
obligation o mould the character of
1 their children.
- ,This is ' unfortunate because the
: home and its influence cannot be re
placed by any social agency lacking
the same intimate association and
close affection which should exist
within the family circle. Our na
tional life would probably improve if
WO, , could increase the stability and
, unselfishness of our homes, which
, Bhould be the controlling influence
and impelling . inspiration for right
f living and service in every life.
"The familjMinit has for its supreme
purpose the proper training and de
velopment of new lives. This invol
ves a series of processes with each
individual child, requiring approxi
mately twenty years, and even longer,
before the child is adequately prepar
er ed to attempt to assume the problems
and difficulties of actual life.
The most important element which
, enters, into such training is the em
TrtBbrWntl tn rpiiirinna ami nmral
principles. Religion furnishes to the,
home, as it does to every part of so-
ciety, the complete answer to the
needs of every moment, furnishing
the basis', if accepted, for a contented,!
happy and successful life to everyone.
The basis for a happy, contented.
home depends upon the relationship '
which exists between parents and
children. The right relationship will
only be possible if there is mutual
respect one for the other. In the
Fifth Commandment, the basis of our
study for this week, children are com-'
manded to "honor" their father and

WORLD EVENTS FORCING U. S
TO PREPARE AGAINST UN
CERTAIN FUTURE
National defense has become the
first problem of the American Gov
ernment following the astonishing
surrender of Great Britain and
; France at Munich.
Face to face with the demands of
the dictators, Great Britain with her
great fleet, and France, with her
' great army, bowed . to the superior
, ait force of Germany. The govern
( m'ents of the democracies were unable
to face the prospect of war because
Germany, with a small navy and an
Inferior army, had an air fleet that
was believed to be big enough to over-
jghejm the combined French and Brit
- ig aerial forces'.
Geraany Dominant.
Thei revelation that Germany, for
the present at least, is the dominat
' ing power in Europe and the realiza
; " tion that the expanding armaments
p. - of Germany and Italy, together with
r the aggressive spirit of these peoples,
threatens, if it has not already upset, J
the existing balance oi power on tne
continent. This makes it necessary
'or-the- United States ' to reconsider
it defensive necessities. " V - '
Faced with the fact that Germany,
Italy and Japan are dissatisfied with
their lots today and the determina
tion tf these governments to - use
force to seek the realization of ex
panding ambitions, officials - of the
: UidteJmt.tteUiiriAelid; see
that the safety of this country will de
pend upon its ability to protect itself
from any possible combination of ag
gressors.. No longer can we depend
upon th0 British fleet for the safety
of the Atlantic .Ocean and, in the
Pacific Ocean, 'our interests cannot be
maintained except by a force that
. will compel, respect for Jhem. ;
South America. iJ ;-!.-- ' ,
While the ..foreign policy of the
umteu owwa ib Bumewnat nary, HI
may be assumed :; that ' the United
States is determined to police this
r emisphere, Including both North and
uth America. Germany, Italy and
an have economic .. footholds in
:'i America. , If : one . of - them

'M sides of the
their mother.' As reward for such
I obedience,Uod promises . tnat raeir
"days may be long in the land which
Jehovah thy God giveth thee."
"The word 'honor' involves rever
ence (Lev. 19:32)f; obedience (Col.
8:20): srratitude (I Tim. 5:4); the
following of advice (Prov. 1:8); and,
of course, the exclusion of an tne
feelings and actions opposite to these
(Ex. 21:16-7; Deut. 27:16)" F. W.
Farrar. This "honor" will find ex
pression in an acceptance of parental
authority and in a becoming defer
ence to one's parents' desires and
wishes. The children who are rude,
insolent and disrespectful to their
parents are not only guilty of break
ing" this - v commandment, - but they
show themselves utterly lacking in
moral end spiritual discernment.
Although this Commandment seems
to be concerned solely with the duty
of the child toward his parents, it by
inference clearly teaches that parents
have responsibilities toward their chil
dren. In order to receive the honor
of one's children, parents should be
worthy of their children's respect. A
parent lacking in character and self
respect has no right to expect that an
intelligent child shall honor him.
Parents, to merit the respect of their
children should give them the best
care physical, mental and spiritual
that is possible. They should, have,
in the home, the benefit of proper ex
amples of Christian living in order
that they may have the chance to
evaluate the advantages of propeT
The picture given us, in Luke 2:46
choice. 52, of the childhood of Jesus, shows
how perfectly Jesus observed this
Commandment. Found in the temple
talking with the learned men of his
day, by his parents, who failed sorely
to understand him. Jesus returned
with them to his home in Nazareth
and was "subject unto them," while
he advanced in wisdom and stature
and in favor with God and man. Par-
ents make a sad mistake when they
under-estimate the possibilities of a
child- Much more w11 be Kained hV
increased confidence and trust, if the
parents themselves are giving their
children the proper example of what
a sooa me s,nouiu, ue.
The promise that goes along with
obedience to this Commandment is not
so much a promise for the individual
as it is a promise for the nation as a
whole. . When the homeufe of a na
tion is stable and secure, .then the na'
tional life is secure. When the home
disintegrates and crumbles, the nation
is doomed.
South American Continent at the
same time.
President Roosevelt, it appears, is
determined that proper steps shall be
taken now to insure that the United
States will not have to follow the ex
ample of Great Britain and France
and surrender in the face of threats
from other nations.
Navy, First Line.
Naturally, the first line of defense
is the navy. Its strategy is that the
fleet should not be weakened by divi
sion between the Atlantic and Pacific
and that in defending our territory,
in the words of Admiral Leahy, "We
cannot assume an attitude of passive
defense and simply beat off attacks
at one place and later at another. In
such a case we would see our coasts
blockaded, our outlying possessions
seized, our commerce, both coastwise
and foreign, driven off the seas and
we would undergo the costly exper
ience of finding the war lasting as
long as the enemy willed it.
Therefore, this policy calls for a
navy large- enough to keep any pro
bable combination of foreign navies
far from American shores. Naval
bases far out in the Pacific, with
Hawaii as ft center and bases' in the
Atlantic, including the Carribean, will
give the navy M far-flung . frontier
and will also serve to prevent the ap
proach of hostile aircraft to bomb the
continental areas of -1 h e United
States.

to build a cruiser and a year or more

Army's Function. , "
. The Army's function in the national
defense system, includes, of course-,
the protection of naval bases,' and, in
the event;: that an enemy . eludes the

SUMMER PICTURE STORIES
In picturing summer romances, keep the romance! Don't let your subjects
pose stiffly or smile at the camera!
IT'S a camera axiom that every pic
ture should tell a story. Will you
remember that this summer when
you are snapping pictures ot friends
and their summer activities?
Nothing Is easier than to get a
member of your crowd to "stand
over by that bush while I snap your
picture." But that sort of picture
taking doesn't produce the best kind
of pictures because such pictures
don't "say" anything.
1 it's easy to go on a picnic with
Bill and Janet Smith and get snap
shots of them standing by a bush or
a tree, smiling for the camera. But
It's more fun, and makes better pic
tures, to catch Janet feeding Bill a
huge slice of chocolate cake, or get
Bill helping Janet over a barbed-
medjcal supplies, which could not be
obtained quickly in an emergency.
Air Force.
In the air, the approved program
for the Niavy calls for 3,000 air
planes, and the Army wants not less
than 2,300. When these ships are
built our aerial force will not com
pare with that of some European na
tions, but plans are under considera
tion to insure mass production of ad
ditional airplanes in the event of an
emergency.
Realizing that modern wars are
won largely on the strength of in
dustrial organizations that support
the fighting arms, the government
plans action to insure the develop
ment of sufficient power, the rehabili
tation of the transportation system,
and the organization of industry to
provide adequate material.
Prepare In Advance.
Space merely permits the mention
ing of the various factors involved
in our defense program, which must
develop in advance of the need if the
safety of the republic is to be as
sured. In the dictator-led nations
plans are secretly made and executed
to strengthen the fighting arms, with
certain definite designs for action.
When the preparation is complete the
dictatorship moves, confident that the
military arm is ready.
In democratic countries there is a
tendency to doubt if the nation really
needs the armament, and the debate j
continues while aggressors prepare
Inasmuch as armaments lag behind i
the decision to prepare, the democra-'
cies tend to be hopelessly outdis
tanced by nations that secretly plan
policies of aggression and then pre
pare for the contingency. There is no
way for us to tell what plans Itlay,
Germany or Japan have in mind for
this hemisphere, but we cannot wait
until their plahs are disclosed. If we i
do, we will be helpless and compelled
to acquiesce.
While it may be very foolish for
nations to spend huge sums for
armaments, it is more foolish for a
great nation to shrink from prepar
ing itself on the basis of those less
able to stand the expense. If the na-1
tlons of the world will not limit their
armaments, they must expect to fight
and if they are going to fight, the
United States might as well look to

111 PATENTS TO ONE MAN
Washington. Gustave F. Erbard,
of Scranton, Pa., is thought to have
set a record in the number of patents
requested and granted at one time,
when 111 design patents were granted
him by the Patent Office. All of the
patents relate to new ornamental de
signs for curtains. Filing fees
amounted to $1,100.
BOY AND DAD AT COLLEGE
Lebannon, 111. Cecil Lowe and his
son, Carroll, are enrolled as students
at McKendree College. The father, a
student for the ministry, is a junior,
the son, who hopes to become an ath
letic coach, is a freshman.
BOYS' TEETH BETTER
Washington. For some reason, ac
cording to Dr. Henry Klein and Dr.
Carroll E. Palmer, of the Public
Health Service, who examined the
teeth of thousands of school children
at Hagerstown, Md., girls had more
missing, decayed or filled teeth than
boys of the same age. They decided
it must be because girls usually get
their teeth sooner than boys do.
EMPLOYEES GET FIRM
New York. Under terms of the
will of the late Henry G. Barbey, the
thirty employees of his firm, the Su
burban Engineering Company, inherit
the concern, a $1,000,000 business.

Home Asrent Tells Hot
To Keep Nut Ker
-a
To preserve nut kernels and ! ?- v'
them from becoming rancid, can t!
as you would fruits, says Miss Kl.i
Current, State home demonstration
agent at State College. They can be
kept fresh and tasty by being placed
in an airtight container in a cool, dry
place, away from light, she explained.
The container will also protect the
nuts from insects. The flavor of nuts
is largely dependent on the oils they
contain, although in some kinds of
nuts there are also specific flavoring
substances. In most nut kernels the)
oils readily become rancid and give
the disagreeable flavor found in so
called stale nuts. The vacuum-packed
containers in which nuts are cftei
put up commercially help to p.overit
rancidity, Miss Current said.
Kernels of nuts gathered at !io:":ic
can be packed in jars from whic'i the
air is exhausted in a boiling b;r.' as
in canning fruits. Select well ive!
oped, fresh nut kernels, free from
bits of shell. Sterilize half-))' t or
pint jars and allow them to dry. Fill
with the nuts and partially .eal.
Place in a hot water bath that ncs
up about two inches on the side the
jars and let them remain in it ..'hile
the water boils for 30 minuter.
Complete the sealing and stor? in a
cool, dark place.
