Rut she was writhing under the
burning misery of knowledge far
too old for her 1!) years. Knowledge
that the boy hadn't taken tlse affair
seriously at all. Knowledge that
what she had thought a generous
surrender had only been a cheap
yielding to his casual importunity.
Knowledge that tnany of her eol-

occurred, and the nicest of them
couldn't help showing that they
didn't like it—or her.
When a telegram came from a
sick mother this girl returned glad-

long since shown his complete in-

Answer: No, however hard she

latiier may be by the thought of
dt,:;ioi,)^ his responsibilities onto
her shoulders, says Dr. Edward A.
Strecker author of "Their Mothers'
Sons. For tlte fact remains that
niother is a femaie, and a child
must learn to grow up in a world
that s male AND female. "Your
son needs a mat) around whom he
can imitate. You want him to
glory in physical strength, learn
to be aggressively fearless, re-
sourceful, protective—in short, mas-
cuiine. He will not learn that from
his mother."

their birth certificates, and I can.
not see it has made any difference
to them. But to give a child a
nickname that seems "cute" while
he's a baby but will sound ridicu-
lous as he grows oider may make
his developing a normal seif-
esteem needlessly hard.

^ ) n i
Are nicknames had for
children?
Answer: There is no essentia!
difference between a nickname
and a "real" one if it is the name
which the child comes to recog-
nize as nreaning himself. I know
two or three men who would
scarcely know whom you were
speaking to if you addressed them
by the names that are recorded on
Ho tonger hours mean getting
more work done?
Answer: No, say statisticians oi
the U.S. Bureau of Labor, report-
ing a survey of 2445 male and 1060
female workers in 34 different in-
dustrial plants in this country.
"Gotieraliy speaking, the study in-
dicates that, everything else being
equal, the 8-hour day and 40-hour
j week are best in terms of effi-
ciency and absenteeism, and that
higher ievels of hours are less
satisfactory." Longer hours not
only mean more time lost through
absence from the job, but bring
; about a marked rise in both the
) number and frequency of accidental
I injuries.

W tt.e first tlmught naturally ts
to relieve the itching and burnint:
but there arc so a,any substantf -
t!;nt can catise hives tliut we must
try to find the cause as sot,n as
possible.
Thtf. as certain foods are often
to blame, the iirst method of treat-,
meat is to give an emetic to induce
vomiting, such as ateaspeon "?
mustard in half a glass o water.
!f the food has been tn the body to'
some time, then a dose of castor
oi! or Hpsont salts should be taken.
The drug most commonly used to
relieve symptoms is the <n]fcti'-n
of !() to 15 minims (drops) ofaa-
rena!in under the skin.
While cleansing out the stomach
nr.d intestine and the injection of
adrenalin (epinephrine) give a)
,iif.it immediate relief from tw-
itching and burning, 't shot ^

body, baking ^oda. which is always
soothing to t!te inflamed skin, is
effective—a cupfttl in the regular
bath or half a cup in the wash tub.
Aiter drying, touching the hives
with baking soda talcum or flour
prolongs the relief.
White the above treatment gives
considerabie relief in all cases, the
cause of the hives should be sought
so that chronic hives or frequent
attacks of hives can be prevented
by avoiding the foods, drugs and
other substances found to he the
cause or causes.
In addition to these causes, it is
now known that just as emotional
disturbances can increase the heart
rate, raise the Mood pressure,
cause stomach upsets and diar-
rhoea, so they can cause hives and
other eruptions of the skin.
One of the substances manufac-
tured by the body tissues is histam-
ine. a factor associated with al-
lergic symptoms including hives.
For th's reason what are known as
antihistamine drugs, such as bena-
drvl. are used to treat hives.

Why Jescs Died
Lessor for June 12, 1949
*plIE FACTS of Jesus' death were
^ simple. They are totd in the
four Gospels without dramatics and
without tears. Yet the drama is
there, stark and terrible; and only
the hard of heart can read it with-
out tears.
There is a deeper question than
what happened. Why did it happen?
The first Christians were forced to
think about the crucifixion. They
all knew it was no legend. It was
so. But they were
hunted, as we are,
with the question,
Why? Here was a
person whose teach-
ing was truth,
whose touch was
health, whose life
was love. You
would have thought
the world would
welcome such a p,. Foreman
man, and give him
the highest honors in its power. But
instead, alt it had for him were
nails and thorns and a cross. Why?
If Cod, who sees a!! things, knew
that even his Son would come to
no better end than a death of
shame, why did God allow Jesus
to be born, much less send him into
the world, the world where the
cross was waiting?

Two men worked side hy side
in a government office in Wash-
[ington. They never spoke, but
each watched the other. One man
quit work daily at four o'clock.
{The other toiled on til] sixer later.
Months passed. Then the harder
working of the two met the other.
Hard Worker: Heg your pardon.
Do you mind telling me how you
clean up your work every day at
four o'clock?
Other Worker: Not at all. When
! come to a tough piece ot detail,
! mark it, "Kefer to Commander
Smith") figure that, in an outfit
as large as this, there is sure to
be a Commander Smith. And!
must he right; none of these
papers come back to me.
Hard Worker (starting to re-
move his eoat): Brother, prepare
for action, t'm Commander Smith!

No Other End
rpHKHE WAS, of course, "histori-
^ cal reasons" why Jesus was
killed. If we used the words "mur-
dered" or "lynched" it would be
nearer the truth. Jesus' death,
from one point of view, was both
a tragedy and a crime, and the Gos-
pel stories show this. Jesus died be-
cause Pilate was a spineless man.
Jesus died because the priests
of Jerusaiem saw that tf this
n,anwon, they would lose, and
they would commit murder
rather than be defeated. Jesus
ti.ed because the Pharisees had
ctused minds and would not
hsten to truth if they did not
Unnkofitfirst.
He died because Judas was a
tra^or, because his trtends were
cowards and even the best of them
Uated to show their faces only after
he was dead. He died because the
Jewish peopie had their nunds set
on one sort of Messiah, and when
Jesus turned out to be quite another
tort, they would have none of Inm.
Lc,ng altogether the sort of person
ho was, in that kind of world, at
t<.at particular time and ptace, you
couid say, as Jesus nimseif ctid,
tuai. the Son of Man "had to ' uic.
(L.une 24:46.) No other end was
possible. There was no he<p for it
...except to turn coward and
iii<..o; and if he had Leon cupaule

tSiebeiieve that this wasn.ut
s.mply Jesus' own iaea, some-
thing Cod had nut thou^nt ot ml
Jesus suggested it.
We believe that this was the in-
tcn.;on of God "from before the
i^unuation of tiie world." The Cod
wt.o is over ail, works throu^n ait
things, even very evii tilings, to
make his love known.
"That The World . . .
Might Be Saved"
lwyKN had long thought of God as
^ ^ living in far-off heaven, seated
on a throne, high and lifted up. A
just and mighty God, one who can-
not be touched with any human
weakness, a holy and infinite Lord
of the universe,—such a Cod men
knew. But on earth there walks and
suffers a race of men who are
slaves of sin, slaves to evil. How
can such a God help such men? Not
by staying on his throne and hurl-
ing down more curses. Only by do-
ing what men would never have
guessed God would dare to do-
come into this world, himself as a
man, translating himse!f into the
life of man; putting his shuuhlor
under the human load, even bear-
ing "our sins in his own body on
tile tree ' (I I'oter 2:24).
