IMMORTALITY . . step a way
I am glad that a national
movement has been started for
a memorial to Will Rogers.
Vice President Garner is the
chairman, with ex-Preaident
Hoover, Henry Ford and - a
long list of other prominent
men on the committee. Jesse
Jones, chairman of the Recon-
struction Finance Corporation,
will receive subscriptions.
I cannot think of any man in
my time, not in public office,
who endeared himself to so
many millions of people. I
saw Will Rogers’ last picture
the other night, ‘^Steamboat
’Round the Bend.” I could not
believe that he is not still liv-
ing. One of the miracles of
our times is the power of the
motion picture to preserve the
illusion of life. It is the next
thing to immortality.
I am sending my dollar to-
day to Jesse Jones for the Will
Rogers memorial. I hope ev-
erybody who has ever enjoyed
one of his pictures will do the
same.

MOTORS . . . and depeeaaems
We had a depression in
1907. That was the year in
which Henry Ford put oat the
first low-priced automobile,
bringing motoring within the
reach of everybody. The auto-
mobile industry broke the back
of the hard times.
We had another depression
in 1921. That was the year in
which instalment sales of cars
became general. Once more
the automobile industry lifted
the nation out of the hate.
This year, 1935, we are
coming out of the worst de-
pression in nearly a hundred
years. The automobile busi-
ness is the biggest since 1929.
More than 3H million cars
will have been made and sold
before the end of the year. For
the third time the motor car is
' the main instrument in restor-
ing prosperity. Other things
have helped, of course, but I
give automobiles first place.

RELIEF.......a liability
A short time ago one of my
wealthy friends, who owns a
large country estate, asked me
to recommend a good house
painter. He was going to re-
paint all of his buildings, a job
which would run to sevesl
thousand dollars.
I told him Ed Pixley was
the best painter I knew in oar
part of the county.
“Has he been on relief?"
asked ray friend. "If he has,
I don’t want him. I am all
through hiring men who have
been on relief. They have all
become too lazy to ibe interest-
ed in doing real work.”
1 met Ed Pixley in front of
the bank that afternoon. He
told me that all the family
were working at whatever
they could find to do. and
were managing to scrape
along. "We haven’t gone on
relief yet, and we are not go-
ing- to.” said Ed. I told him
about my friend. Ed cranked
up his odd car and started
right after,the job. He got it.
I have heard other employ-
ers say the same thing about
workers who have been on re-
lief.

INDEPENDENCE .... spirit
I stopped on Forty-second
Street, New York, the other
day, to have my shoes shined.
Out of the long row of boot-
blacks one boy attracted my
attention.
I got the boy talking. He
had come from California, he
told me, with his invalid fa-
ther, who had been offered a
job in New York but couldn’t
hold it. So the boy—he was
fourteen or so—had got him-
self a shoe-shine kit and was
supporting his father and him-
self.
“Is your father on relief?”
I asked. "Not for a minute,”
he replied. *T wouldn’t let
him, even if he wanted to.
We're getting along... . Hey 1
Here’s your change, Mister.”
I had slipped him a quarter
instead of the regulation
aickel. "I don’t want any
money I haven’t earned,” he
said.
There is more of that Amer-
ican spirit of independence
left than most folks think.

GRIT..........still pays
- I heard the other day, from
a friend in Moultrie, Georgia,
of an example of pure grit in
the face of adversity. An
elderly minister, too old and
feeble to fill a pulpit any
longer, was facing starvation.
The mortgage on hit little
country home was about to be
foreclosed. But neither he nor
his aging wife was willing to
apply for relief.
The wife took charge of the
aitaation. She persuaded the
local banker to lend her $150.
Forty dollars went for a mule,
the rest for seed, equipment
and fertilizer for a five-acre
tobacco patch. Last month
she finished selling her tobac-
co. It brought $1600. The
mortgage and the back taxes
are paid and something over
to live on. She found the road
to independence in old sge.

The complexion marred by
constant blemishes is not one
for the beauty shop alone. No
creams will do the trick all by
themselves. A healthy diet
excluding excess of sweets,
starches, fatty foods, rich des-
serts and highly spiced foods
is of first importance. Fanlty
elimination should he correct-
ed. A soft complexion brush,
a bland soap and much rinsing
daily are necessary. Drink wa-
ter. Drink more water. And
even more. But if the case is
really serious, see your doc-
tor immediately.
Hats in felts with self de-
signs are something new this
autumn. In herringbones and
other patterns, they are espe-
cially effective.
One of the most successful
methods of cooking vegetables
with the usual kitchen utensils,
is to use the heaviest pots you
have ivith the heaviest 3ids you
can get, use only a small
amount of water, turn the
flame as low as you can and
attll keep the water boiling,
and in the event steam escapes
about the edge of the cover,
turn the flame even lower. This
keeps all the flavor of the
vegetables possible, and keeps
them tender.

Mrs. - Estelle Stemberger,

{plebescite to give the people
I of the United States a chance
to express their opinion on
war. She is confident that a

for war, and scoffs at the idea
that the masses can be drawn
into another war through the
appeal to patriotism. "The
masses have learned that
patriotism may mean staying
at home," she says.
STORES BUSINESS CHIN
MOO PM CENT
Chicr.go, Oct 5. (UP)—Re-
tail buriness is running from
30 to 7C per cent ahead of
1934, ar.d the outlook for fall
business is the brightest since
1929, according to J. R.
Ozanne. marketing consultant
to the Merchandise Mart, who
has returned from a 35-day
trip during which he inter-
viewed more than 7,000 de-
partment store buyers.
“There has been an unpre-
cedented upswing,” declared
Ozanne. "Every merchant to
whom I talked reported his
business far ahead of last
year; not one out of 7,000 said
his business was behind 1934.
"In Little Eock, Ark, one
merchant’s business for June,
1935, was 32 per cent ahead of
June, 1934, and in July the in-
crease for the same month last
year jumped to 81 per cent. In
New Orleans merchants de-
clare business running from 29
to 69 per cent ahead of last
year. In Waterloo, Iowa, the
Deere Plow Works is operat-
ing 24 hours a day.”
Ozanne said he noticed par-
ticularly that people are buy-
ing "home” things, such as
refrigerators, stoves, linoleum
and radios, in greatly increas-
ed volume. However, the de-
mand for so-called luxury
items such as jewelry, furs,
gifts and novelties, is likewise
increasing monthly.

By a “Young Modern” Texas
StateCollege forWomen (CIA)
Denton, Oct. 5.—The winter
social season is here I Once
again gay and brilliant balls
are being held mid all the
glamour of the detutante set,
and women everywhere are
looking to fashion designers
for new ideas in frocks for
these functions.
The formal season ushers in
an altogether different and
pleasing trend in gowns—the
gown with a bustle. Now
don’t look so surprised. You’ve
seen timid attempts in the last
few years to revive the bustle
of grandmother’s day, bat this
season there is no doubt about
it—the bustle has arrived.
Sometimes the bustle takes
the form of a looped back
drapery with a trailing panel.
Maybe it is a peplum-like bit
of shirring or even a flange
stitched from the center seam.
The new trend of back full-
ness is giving designers new
ideas in the evening silhouet.
Usually the front of the gown
is slim, straight and fitted,
with the fullness concentrated
at the back where the gown
flares forth in a surprising
fashion.
In the formal mode, some
sort of covering for the shoul-
ders is almost essential. Bil-
lowing folds and quantities of
shirring are excellent to gain
shoulder width and at the
same time give a certain soft-
ening influence. Shirred
panels, set in near the waist
of a gown, introduce fullness
in the skirt.
With all the fullneas pre-
dominating in ebening frocks,
materials have become an im-
portant factor. One of the
most striking fabrics being
used is metal shot velvet, a
soft glistening material that
drapes beautifully. Drapery
satin is pastel shades and
heaven lace over satin are
popular materials.
The great are great because
they can not help being great
and because absolutely nobody
has it in his power to dissuade
them or seduce them from
their greatness.—Charles M.

Lesson for October 13.
Jeremiah 36-88.
Golden Text; Jeremiah 1:7.
Jeremiah is the greatest of
the Old Testament prophets.
Born about 650 B.C., he lived
to see Jerusalem destroyed
and her people driven into
exile. For nearly 46 yean he
pursued his prophetic career
in response to a divine inspira-
tion. Those years were the
most significant and tragic in
the whole history of God’s
people. One student calls tins
period “The Decline and FaH
of the Hebrew Nation,” and
compares Jeremiah with
Washington and Lincoln, both
of whom faced similar catas-
trophes.
Now fortunately we know
more about Jeremiah’s person-
ality and career than we do
about those of any other Bible
prophet. He had a devoted
biographer, his nephew Ba-
ruch, who became his private
secretary. As Boswell later
worshipped Dr. Johnson, so
Baruch idolized his unde. The
result is that we have spread
before us in the 52 chapters of
•he prophecy of Jeremiah a
complete record of the pro-
phet's acts and message.
And what a prophet! Some
one has beautifully called him
"The Shadow Christ.” Barely
Jeremiah anticipated the
gospel of Jesus more folly
than any other representative
of the old dispensation. To be
sure, he was a rebel, and often
wailed and screamed.
It is to be regretted that so
great a figure should be little
known, and his book so seldom
read. One reason for this neg-
lect is that the book is so badly
arranged. It consists of a
“conglomeration of prophe-
cies,” as George Adam Smith
well says, all thrown together
in a helter-skelter fashion.
One of the first duties of the
diligent stndent b to attempt
to straighten out his inchoate
mass Into some semblance of
chronological sequence. When
this task has been accomplish-
ed, the prophecy of Jeremiah
at once takes rank as one of
the most rewarding bools in
the Bible.

50 WE COOK OUR FOOD
An ox or a horse can seize
and masticate thoroughly a
dry, hard ear of corn. Most
any of the farm animals may
attack a cured bale of hay and
with powerful teeth and capa-
ble salivary glands reduce the
tough, dried grass to fit the
stomach and be readily digest-
ed.
The hen picks up ripened
grains, hard as wood—swal-
lows them whole and doubtless
enjoys the flavor. She has a
battery of small pebbles in he?
interior, to grind her cereal
with pleasing deliberation. It
is all very interesting when we
have lime to think of it.
But, man cannot do things
as the cattle, horses and fowl
do them. We may eat a few
things raw, with benefit. Our
pioneers ate raw turnips free-
ly in the days before the j <>ung
orchards had arrived at the
fruit-bearing stage. Wt find
raw fruits exceedingly px sta-
ble and beneficial and even
necessary to our well-b mg.
We may eat dried or wholly-
air-cured meats such as “chip-
ped beef’ if it be shaved tlrin
and yet masticated WeiL It b
tonic for the digestive tract
and a blood-builder as wdU.
There are faddists today
who think man should abolish
cooking 1
The common sense of it is
that vegetables and meats of
all kinds need treatment be-
fore being eaten. Tough fibers
must be made tender. Hard
growths must be softened. Hid-
den food-principles must be
set free that we may appropri-
ate them to our use without
over-taxing the digestive ma-
chinery within us. The process
of cooking becomes one of
greatest importance to tke hu-
man family.
Let me mention a possible
error which is over-coo king.
Too ardent frying, boiling,
roasting is also wrong. The
artist in cookery knows when
to quit! Much of eur diet is
spoiled by "cooking it to
death.” Don’t do it!
