CARROLLTON CHRONICLE
Comprehensive
"By nnd large” has about the same
Meaning ns comprehensively, on the
whole, or everything considered. For
Instance, Mark Twain says in -Old
Times”: “Taking you hy nnd large,
you do seem to be more different
kinds of an ass than any creature I
ever saw before.”
Town* With Short Names
Two towns in the United States
are easy to remember. They are M,
In Georgia, and Uz, in Kentucky.
Legal Precedent
One legal authority says: *'In the
Anglo-American legal system a de-
cision by a court, made on a question
of law arising In a case nnd neces-
sary Jo its determination, is an au-
thority, or binding precedent, In the
same court or in oilier courts of low-
er rnnk, In subsequent cases where
the same question Is agnln In contro-
versy. ' This Is called the doctrine
of precedent, or “stare decisis et non
quleta movere,” which means “to
stand hy the decision and not disturb
what is settled.”
Hobbies Benefit Children
Encourage your child to develop a
hobby. No matter that the hobby
does not Interest you. if It will de-
velop Initiative, artistic or construc-
tion ability, something that the child
will grow along with, encourage him
In it. Wholesome hobbies like car-
pentry, photography, billiards, chess,
radio and modeling keep the young-
sters off the streets and at home
where they belong.
Early Cooking
The old-fashioned outside oven had
a domed chninber built of brick and
heated b.v means of light wood and
sticks were burned Inside. When the
bricks were well heated, the ashes
nnd embers were raked out and the
floor swept and the food to he cooked
Introduced hy a flat, wooden shovel
with a long handle nnd the door was
then closed.
Myrtle in History
Medicinal virtues are attributed
to the myrtle, and its oil had a place
among the drugs of the apothecary
In the days of chivalry and incessant
warfare. Now, however. It Is es-
teemed chiefly for the beauty and
sweet fragrance of Its foliage, and ns
such Is planted freely about the pal-
aces of eastern potentates, as has
been the rule from remote antiquity.
Above All, Be True!
He that is habituated to decep-
tions and artificialities in trifles will
try in vain to he true In matters of
Importance, for truth Is a thing of
habit rather than of will. Yon can-
not in any given case hy any sudden
nnd single effort will to he true. If
the h°blt of your life has been In-
sincerity.—F. W. Robertson.
Fratricide
A fraternity lad who had been sus-
picious of a brother’s maneuvers
was calling on his regular date. The
small lad of the household, v. ho was
entertaining him widie his sister put
on the finishing touches to her toilet,
said: “I see you have a pin Just
like the guy who comes when you're
not here.”
Horehound Candy
Horehound candy is flavored with
an extract from the leaves of the
plant known as horehound. This
plant belongs to the mint family and
was called horehound or honrhound
because of the white, downy appear-
ance of the stem and leaves, sug-
gesting hoar frost.—The Pathfinder.
Ringing It Up
A Westinghouse scientists says one
noise can be used to silence another.
The little bell on the cash register
for instance, stops the sound of
moaning.—Los Angeles Times.
Age of Soldier*
According to statistics compiled by
the Veterans’ bureau, out of 500.000
United States ofticers and enlisted
men serving in the World war, the
average age was 24.9"» years.
Indian Castes
Tt is not known definitely just
when castes originated in India.
Records are not available until the
Vedic Ary a period, about 1200 B.
C. Castes were then In existence.
Synthetic Widely Used
Ninety per cent of all the pipe
stems, imitation woods, bends and
gnyly-eolored automatic pencils are
made of a synthesis of formaldehyde
and carbolic add.
PAINS
No matter how severe,
you can always have
immediate reliefs
Bayer Aspirin stops pain quickly. It
does it without any ill effects. Harmless
to the heart; harmless to anybody. But
It always brings relief. Why suffer?

MOUSSELINES PARTNER WITH
VELVET FOR FORMAL DRESS
J N THE new fashions, the contrast
A theme Is ns much a matter t*f ma-
terials as It is a matter of color.
Designers, iu their endenvnr to fea-
ture contrast show no hesitancy in
combining weaves which are entirely
foreign to each other. In fact, the
more out of the ordinary the alliance,
the smarter the results, according to
the modern way of thinking.
Even the most conservative cannot
but acquire a taste for these new ef-
fects ns fHshlnnists nre presenting
them tills season. It Is Interesting, per
example to see filmy white mousseline
sheer Incy bodies nre likewise given
promotion and as for the bakus and
tlie tojo panamas, the panamulnques
nnd such, they are as exotic and us
plentiful as ever.
Straws of ginring high luster con-
trast those witli no luster at all. As
for color, straws have gone riotous.
Black nnd navy comes first generally
relieved with white or light blue. Then
theres brown which is the dernier crl
for spring. Emphasis Is also plnced
on striking contrnst, such as white
straw Interwoven with black cello-
phane, or in tri color effect as black.
Charming Evening Dresses.
made up with black velvet, the
flounces on the skirt alternating the
two materials as shown to the right In
the accompanying illustration. This
charming evening dress is none other
than a Worth creation.
For tlie “formal dress” ensemble
also shown in the picture, Vionnet tops
a white mousseline frock with a little
tuxedo Jacket made of sheer velvet iu
a deep red tone.
This feeling that two materials are
better than one is in no wise coufined
to the formal evening mode, but the
sentiment prevails throughout all fash-
iondom. Gingham partners witli fine
organdie, chiffon in the form of deep
yokes tops the nfternoon crepe frocks,
and the unusual ways In which design-
ers are trimming dark gowns with lace
Is a revelation. Vision, for Instance,
a black crepe two-piece dress, with
little pleatings of white lace not only
about the sleeves and the neckline, but
white nnd red, orange, brown and pale
beige, navy, white and gray, tlie lat-
ter an especinl favorite with smart
I’arlsiennes at the present moment.
Just ns thrilling are the shapes of
tlie new chapeaux. Crowns are differ-
ent, being that shallow they set tlie
hat way back on the head. And brims!
Well, what’s coming in the way of flat-
tering and versatile brims words fail
to describe. There is this much we
know, the hat with a bandeau which
tilts the brim a la Watteau leads in
the race at the present moment
The little hat at the top to the right
is a Watteau. It lifts its brim enough
to reveal a flower-trimmed bandeau.
The cloche to the left is a baku in
natural color. A cluster of green, red
and blue soft quills on the bandeau
take the place of flowers.
In order to place the accent on its
facing of blue grosgrain ribbon, rhe
brim of the hat centered to the right
edging the hemline of the overblouse
as well, emphasizing the effect hy in-
troducing a few frills of the lace from
underneath the hemline of the skirt,
quite suggestive of a petticoat If the
truth must lie told.
And there’s this matter of tweed
and novelty woolen coats, they nre
stressing the idea of contrast via pip-
ings nnd linings and scarfs nnd trim-
mings iu generul of gay plaid or stripe
taffeta.
Most outstanding in this campaign
for contrast which fashion is waging
is the jacket costume which makes tlie
skirt of one material and the little
bolero or double-breasted packet of
something entirely different—a velvet
jacket with a plaid skirt for instance,
and It is very new Indeed to wear a
light Jacket with a dark skirt.
The New Millinefy.
In discussing millinery ns Is and
will be for this spring and summer,
one must speak, for the most part, in
terms of straw, for tlie straw hat in
Its multiple interpretations Is far out-
selling any other type. No matter
what sort of straw. Just so It’s straw
is apparently Hie theory being put into
practice.
Fine milans are as Important as
rough novelty straws. Formal hats of
Showing the New Millinery.
IrKthe picture rolls back, revealing als«
its ribbon-trimmed bandeau.
Quaint as a Dutch maiden’s bonnet
is the black lace straw dress tint which
concludes this group of ultra modish
headwear.

IC—Jesus the World’s Savior: Prepa-

Since the lessons of the quarter cen-
ter in one person and have one theme;
namely, the world’s Savior, the best
method of review for senior and adult
clnsses will be to refresh the mind
with the principal facts and leading
teachings of each lesson. Assignments
should be made a week ahead. The
following suggestions are offered:
Lesson for January 4.
John the Baptist was a great
preacher. He had a great heritage in
his godly parents. Much can be ex-
pected from a son of such parents.
Lesson for January 11.
Jesus, as to personality, was divine
and yet his human nature developed
in tlie normal way. He waxed strong
in body, was filled with wisdom, and
God’s grace was upon him. Though
conscious of his deity, he lived a life
of filial obedience.
Lesson for January 18.
John the Baptist came In fulfillment
of prophecy, calling upon men to pre-
pare for the coming of the Messiah
by repenting of their sins. Baptism
was the appointed sign of their re-
pentance. With fine humility, John
turned the attention of the people
from himself to Christ.
Lesson for January 25.
Jesus was led into the wilderness
by the Holy Spirit to be tempted of
the Devil. His temptation was Mes-
sianic. The purpose was to demon-
strate the reality of the Incarnation.
Jesus went from the place of anoint-
ing and heavenly recognition as the
Son of God to meet and to spoil the
enemy of God and man (Heb. 2:14).
Lesson for February 1.
Jesus demonstrated his power over
various diseases and over demons,
thus displaying his Lordship. Even
while demonstrating his mighty power,
he operated through benevolent chan-
nels.
Lesson for February 8.
Jesus made clear to the disciples
that they would be hated and opposed
ns they went out into the world with
his message. Those who follow
Christ must expect opposition and
suffering.
Lesson for February 15.
Jesus is the friend of sinners. There
is no one so steeped in sin as to be
shut out from him. Christ came Into
the world “to seek and to save that
which was lost.”
Lesson for February 22.
Jesus’ supreme mission was to make
known the good news of salvation to
a lost world. In spite of the good
seed sown by him, only a small por-
tion brought forth full fruitage owing
to the unfavorable condition of the
soil.
Lesson for March 1.
The greatness of the harvest—man’s
lost condition moved Jesus to ask the
disciples to pray the Lord to thrust
out laborers. The real force back of
missionary endeavor Is prayer. When
the church begins to pray about mis-
sions, there will be missionaries and
money to sustain them.
Lesson for March 8.
The parable of the Good Samari-
tan shows who is my neighbor and
what being a neighbor means. My
neighbor is the man needing my help,
whether next door or across the
world. Being a neighbor is the most
important thing for me. To be a
neighbor means to be on the lookout
for those in need and to give sym-
pathetically the needed help.
Lesson for March 15.
The Bethany home was always open
to the Lord. Jesus will come into
such homes as will give him welcome.
The inspiration of the Bethany home
must have greatly helped Jesus as he
went out to meet his foes. It Is the
inspiration of the home which gives
men courage to go out and fight the
battles of life.
Lesson for March 22.
Tlie parable of the rich fool shows
the peril of allowing the heart to be
set upon even the fruits of legitimate
toil. To seek gold and thus forget
God is to play the fool.
The next quarter continues the les-
sons from the gospel by Luke.
Our Lots to God
Our love to God brings us a gleam
in earth’s darkness to show us whither
we are going. It keeps us in sym-
pathy with God’s work everywhere.
It is our enlistment In the army of
good will toward men.—Isaac Edward-
son.
Men of Genius
Men of genius are often dull and
inert in society, as a blazing meteor
when it descends to earth, is only a
stons.—Longfellow.
“Intention” in Bequest
Held Sacred by Courts
A copy of Samuel Hoffenstein’s
“Poems in Praise of Practically
Nothing” lias been filed with Sur-
rogate Hetlierington of Queens. It
contains the last will nnd testament,
written in ink on a flyleaf, of Mrs.
Elizabeth Nussbnum of Bayside. The
will contains 30 words, is properly
signed and witnessed by two fellow
patients in tlie hospital where It was
written and leaves all Mrs. Nuss-
baum’s property to her husband. In
accordance with the law rule that
the intention of the testator must
be observed, tlie will is presumably
valid for probate. The law is more
solicitous for tlie substance than for
the form of wills. Tlie scrawl of n
soldier fatally hurt in battle, of a
patient dying In hospital, with the
mind clear, is sacred to tlie court.
Odd wills have ever been much in
use with the writers of fiction—none
more odd, surely, than that which
Rider Haggard described 43 years
ago in “Mr. Meeson’s Will.” This
Meeson. cast away on a desert is-
land without writing paper, tattooed
his will on the back of n girl com-
panion in shipwreck: ami later it
was good in an English court. Just
what an actum court might do with
an actual Meeson will we do not
profess to know; this is one case
where fiction is stranger than fact.
But thousands of wills as informal
as Mrs. Nussbaum’s have been pro-
bated without question.—New York
World.
THE LAXATIVE
WITH HIGHEST
ENDORSEMENT
When you get up headachy, slug-
gish, weak, half-sick, here’s how to
feel yourself again in a jiffy.
Take a little Phillips’ Milk of Mag-
nesia in a glass of water—or lem-
onade. Taken in lemonade, Phillips’
Milk of Magnesia acts like citrate of
magnesia. As a mild, safe, pleasant
laxative, Phillips’ Milk of Magnesia
has the highest medical endorsement
As an anti-acid to correct sour
stomach, gas, indigestion, biliousness,
it has been standard with doctors for
50 years. Quick relief in digestive and
eliminative troubles of men, women,
children—and babies.
SORENESS ALL OVER
"I was in a run-
down condition and
suffering with my
back and sides,” says
Mrs. M. M. Cook, of
Fort Payne, Ala. “The
pain in my side was
so great it caused a
soreness all through
my body. I was read-
ing the newspaper
and saw Cardui ad-
tised. 1 thought it
icught
night help me. After
my first bottle, 1 felt
better. 1 took an-
other, after which 1
was greatly improved,
so much so that 1
have recommended
Cardui since.” __—

World Threatend With
Shortage of Monkeys
It is some time since Dr. Serge
Vorono startled tlie world b.v his an-
nouncement that he could make the
old young again by his process of
grafting monkey glands.
It Is in the regions of Africa lying
near the equator that monkeys of
the right sort nre chiefly found. But
duriug the last few years hunters
have killed nnd captured such quan-
tities of them that they are now be-
coming more and more difficult to
obtain. Many adventurers who go
out in the hope of making a fortune
hy supplying monkeys make use of
wrong methods, with the result that
thousands are destroyed senselessly
and uselessly.
It is hoped that in the near future
regulations will be made which will
save the monkeys from extinction.
Meantime, large tracts of forest are
being fenced off as monkey pre-
serves, nnd all hunting is forbidden
within their boundaries.—London
Tit-Bits.

Saving
One smoggy morning an Indianap-
olis young couple was discussing the
budget.
"Since the price on foodstuff is
down, you might save on your house-
hold allowance.” said the husband.
“I see smoke is down and you can
save on your personal allowance,” re-
plied the clever better half.

Philosophy
When William May Garland re-
turned to Los Angeles after his re-
markable accomplishments in com-
pleting arrangements for the 1932
Olympic games in Los Angeles, he
was, of course, the guest of honor at
many public and private gatherings.
At one of these a friend asked him
how he had enjoyed the trip. “I re-
member,” he said, “that you were
highly pleased with the prospect of
going.”
“True,” replied Mr. Garland with a
quizzical smile, "but there is one
thing I have learned about traveling
and that is, that most of the time it
is quite a relief to get back to where
you were so glad to get away from.”

troubles
KuSSY, fretful .... of course
babies are uncomfortable at teeth-
ing time! And mothers are worried
because of the little upsets which
come so suddenly then. But there’s
one sure way to comfort a restless,
teething child. Castoria — made
especially for babies and children!
It’s perfectly harmless, as the
formula oil the wrapper tells you.
It’s mild in taste and action. Yet
it rights little upsets with a never-
failing effectiveness.
That’s the beauty of this special
Children's remedy! It may be given
to tiny infants—as often as there
is need. In cases of colic and similar
disturbances, it is invaluable. But
it has every-day uses all mothers
should understand. A coated tongue
calls for a few drops to ward off
constipation; so docs any suggestion
of bad breath. Whenever older
children don’t eat well, don’t rest
well, or have any little upset, a
more liberal dose of this pure
vegetable preparation is usually all
that's needed. Genuine Castoria‘has
Chas. H. Fletcher's signature on the
wrapper. Doctors prescribe it.
