Keeping Busy
Foreign trade la • tricky topic. {
Open a discussion on the subject
and you are aura to let out a sur-
prising number of positive opinions,
widely. Some people look
trade as the mother of
international disputes and think the
United States could get along as
well or better wityiout any. I never
saw a survey dealing with the sub-
ject but I believe relatively few
people, even tat America, know how
foreign trade affects them.
Foreign trade helps this country a
great deal. If busy factories and
plenty of good jobs are helpful, so
*18 foreign trade because it keeps
i factories busy. If ready markets
for farm products at good prices
•help the.country, so does foreign
{trade because foreign buyers make
prices good. Capturing and hold-
jing foreign markets is a matter of
{efficiency tat manufacturing. Who-
ever gets foreign trade competes
>with the world on a price basis.
Lowering Prices
j Keeping down prices on Ameri-
can-made goods so they can com-
pete with merchandise made by
half-starved European and Asiatic
labor calls for minimum costs. A
large part of the cost of any manu-
factured article is wages of the
workers who make it, and wages in
America are high—twice to ten
times as high as elsewhere. The
United States would be hardly bet-
ter than any other land if wage
'scales had to be the same, so how
can we compete in foreign markets?
: There is only one way: through ef-
ficiency.
Factories of the United States are
' -faced with a challenge to outpro-
duce all foreign countries after the
war—to turn out more manufac-
tured goods per man-hour than the
plants of any other nation. Unless
they manage to begin this promptly
after the fighting stops, some other
• Industrial nation wiH take the lead.
And when sales volume justifies the
Investment, any country can cut
: costs with maas production and hold
*<m tight to world commerce.
Da We Want It?
'j If Americans wish to dominate
Iworld trade after this war, they can
jeapture the prise with ease. No
i question of ability is involved.
'American manufacturers found a
way, on very abort notice, to pro-
jduce more arms and munitions than
nil the rest of the world combined.
They can do the same with prod-
tucts of peacetime demand. It’s all
jn matter of whether the American
j people, farmer and worker and you
land I, wiH cooperate wholeheartedly
to secure maximum production at
'minimum cost—in other words, top
•fficienct-
! Several years ago when jobs were
{scarce, a philosophy of extrava-
* spread through American
Twilhi a»>d shops under the charitable
slogan of “Share the work." Pres-
ently three men were doing no more
than two had done before and manu-
facturing efficiency declined. Costs
increased in such cases, and prices
advanced accordingly. Many items
of American goods disappeared
from foreign markets. Sales fell
off, and each new-day brought fewer
Jobs to share. Extravagance never
benefltted anybody.
| What does foreign trade mean to
.somebody who is not in the export-
ing 1 usiness? It means keeping
tansy. To tMe manufacturer it is
•xtra volume to cut the unit-cost of
whatever he makes: to the worker,
more re ,ular employment; to the
Ifarmer, better prices. To the small
business man it means improved
general prosperity.
Current Problem
“But,” somebody says, “that's a
post-war problem. Let’s win the
{war now and cross that bridge when
jwe get to it.” e
We are crossing that bridge now
{whether we think vr- are ready or
j not. Incentive plans to boost fac-
tory production without hiring more
s j, ....
people have been tried and proved
I
Reflective, but some people don’t like
them. Instead, out of Washington
{come rumblirgs of labor conscrip-
, tion, something nobody even imag-
lines can improve production per
|man-hour. We will win or lose our
foreign trade by the spirit developed
{during the wtr. If it is lost, our
I standards of living must be lowered.

Tell Tree’s Age
The age of trees grown in the
temperate zones can be .determined
by counting the number of annual
rings from the bark to the pith and
adding the number of yean re-
quired by the tree to attain the
height where the ring count starts.
The top of a stump is ideal for
counting rings but, in standing tim-
ber of moderate, size, foresters use
UB increment borer. This is an in-
whieh removes a cylindri-
oroen section of wood about the
of n lead pencil. The rings
■action may be counted.

GOLDEN TEXT: B* traa wounded tar
mu tranagreaalona. ha was bruised lor oilr
ImqultMa: the chastisement of our peace
was upon him: and with his stripe* ws are
healed —laalah il l
The crucifixion of Christ brings us
to that darkest of all days in the his-
tory of the world, when wicked men
with cruel hearts and hands cruci-
fied the loving Son of God. But,
thanks be to God, it was also the
day when bright hope shone forth
for sinful humanity, for in His death
Christ bore our sins upon the tree,
the veil was rent, the old sacrifices
were set aside, and the “new and
living way’’ was opened into the
“holiest by the blood of Jesus’*
(Heb. 10:20).
The cross is not just an ornament
to decorate the steeple of a church,
or to adorn man. It speaks of the
black horror of the cry, “My God,
my God, why hast thou forsaken
me?” But it also tells of our God,
who “so loved the world that he
gave his only begotten Son’’ as its
Redeemer.
What does Calvary mean to us?
It means that—
I. The Saviour Died So We Could
Live (vv. 22-27).
The details of and circumstances
surrounding the crucifixion are of
deep interest to every Christian. We
stand with Luther and .weep as we
see Christ's unspeakable agony, not
only of body but of spirit, and we
cry, “For me, for me!’’ How can
any believer contemplate the cross
and withhold self, substance, or
service from Christ?
There would be less careless, self-
ish living if we would go often to the
story of the death of Christ and rec-
.ognize the loving, sacrificial devo-
tion of Christ.
Equally heart-searching is the
message of the cross to the unbeliev-
er. He knows he is a sinner (Rom.
3:23); he knows that “the wages of
sin is death” (Rom. 6:23), and he
knows that “neither is there salva-
tion in any other, for there is none
other name under heaven given
among men whereby we must be
aaved” (Acts 4:12). Here at the
cross he meets that one “who his
own self bare our sins in his own
body on the tree, that we, being
dead to sins, should live unto right-
eousness: by whose stripes ye were
healed” (I Pet. 2:24).
Note the difference between the
two thieves who were hanged with
Jesus, for it is the difference be-
tween those who face Christ in our
day. One railed on Him (Luke 23:
39), while the other, repentant, had
a faith that looked all the way into
Paradise (Luke 23:43).
II. The Son Was Forsaken So Wo
Could Be Accepted (w. 29-36).
Awful was the railing and mock-
ing which our Lord endured on the
cross. It must have made His de-
voted, loving heart well-nigh break
as He saw the scorn of the very
ones He died to save.
Yet it was as nothing compared
to that moment when He who knew
no sin “was made sin for us” (II
Cor. 5:21). Bearing the awful load
of the sin of the world He knew the
bitter agony of being forsaken by
the Father. He turned His head
away and we hear that saddest of
all cries, “My God, my God, why
hast thou forsaken me?”
We cannot fathom the full mean-
ing of that hour, we dare not attempt
to explain it, we can only accept it
and thank God that because He did
become sin for us we may be “made
the righteousness of God in him”
(II Cor. 5:21). He died that we
might live. He was fors.uken that
we might bo “accepted in” Him
“the beloved'’ (Eph. 1:6).
After the darkness, however,
comes the light. He died not as a
martyr, a vanquished gladiator de-
feated in battle; no, there was vic-
tory.
III. The Veil Was Rent So We
Could Enter (vv. 37-39).
The death of Jesus was not the
pitiful weakening of a human mar-
tyr Her£ was the Son of God, cry-
ing with a loud voice (v. 37), giving
up H13 spirit to the Father (Luke
27:46), declaring that the work of
redemption was “finished.”
As a visible indication uf that
fact, and as a declaration that the
old dispensation of law had given
place to the new dispensation of
grace, God tore the temple veil in
twain. Only He could have done it
No man could have torn this sixty-
foot long, twenty-foot wide, and inch-
thick curtain, and note that it was
torn from top to bottom. This was
the act of God. This veil had hung
in the temple to keep all but the
high priest out of the Holy of Ho-
lies, and he entered with fear and
trembling but once a year as the
representative of the people.
Now till tl is is changed. We have
now, ”bre’ iren, boldness to enter
into the oliest by the blood of
Jesus, by a new and living way,
which he nath consecrated for us,
through the veil.”
Therefore, "let us draw near with
' a true heart and full assurance of
faith” (Heb. 10:19-22).
Rom Granite Buildings
Make Helsinki ‘White City*
Helsinki is the most northerly cap- !
itaJ city in the world and a picture
in miniature of the entire Finnish ;
nation.
Helsinki s 1939 population was 303,-
000. The city was then in the midst
of a building boom, largely due to |
the prospect of playing host to the
world in the war-cancelled 1940 ,
Olympic games. The many new and
old public buildings and cultural
shrines of gleaming rose granite
long ago gave Helsinki the title
“White City of the North."
Situated on a short, bay-indent-
ed peninsula, hidden by forest-cov-
ered islands, Helsinki claimed that
in 15 minutes its citizens could be
either in deep woods or on deep
water. The city is located on the 1
north shore of the Gulf of Finland
less than 200 miles from Leningrad.
It was founded in 1550 as a Finnish I
rival to Tallinn, Estonian port and
capital directly across the Gulf. By j
1710 only 1,800 persons lived there, j
About a century later the Russians
took Helsinki for the third time in 1
its history and made it the capital
of the quasi-mdependent Grand
Duchy of Finland. The city’s growth
dates from then, the population in- j
creasing at an average of 1,000 a
year m the next 90 years. Finn pa- ]
tnots drove the Russians out in 1918.
Moors Helped Develop
Agriculture in Spain
Mediterranean Spain is a coastal
belt of artificial fertility. Irrigation
takes the place of rain, is the life
stream of agriculture. It all be-
gan more than a thousand years ago
when the Moors cast covetous eyes
across, the Mediterranean moat.
From their homeland in Africa
they brought the orange, the mul-
berry, and the “know how” to make
the desert blaom.
Moorish agriculture centered in the
areas between Cordoba and Sevilla.
On that early culture rests the fafne
of many of Spain’s subtropical fruits
and vegetables. The provinces of
Valencia and Murcia are especially
konwn for their oranges; Malaga tor
its grapes. Cotton, rice and sugar
beets are also grown in the south.
Along the Valencia coast the coun-
tryside is patterned with groves of
oranges and lemons. Almonds are
a staple.
Between the coasts is the high, dry,
windy upland known as the Meseta,
comprising three-fourths of Spain’s
area. Its grudging soil ari rigor-
us climate, with harsh extremes of
heat and cold, have kept most of the
population centers to the milder and
more fertile coastal regions.
Production of Penicillin
It Cumbersome Process
Discovered and named in 1929 by
Prof. Alexander Fleming of London,
the true value of penicillin as an
antiseptic In the treatment of human
infections was demonstrated in 1940
by a group of scientists at Oxford
university. This is one of the ad-
vances in medicine occasioned by
the efforts to save life on the battle-
field.
The first step in producing the
product is the stock culture of peni-
cillium notatum, a mold similar to
the familiar green molds found
growing on fruits or cheese. The
spores or seeds from this stock cul-
ture are transferred to the second
phase. In the second phase, the be-
ginning of the white, wooly mold
growth is visible.
Then the' mold Is shown gray-
green after three days’ growth, and
ready for harvesting because at that
point it contains the maximum
amount of penicillin. The solution
containing the penicillin and the
now-useless mold from which it has
been filtered, are shown. The visitor
can compare the small amount of
concentrated solution with the vol-
ume from which it was obtained.
Then when he realizes that the tiny
amount of yellow-brown powder rep-
resents a much larger quantity than
could be obtained from that amount
of concentrated solution shown, he
can readily understand the scarcity
of the drug.
Eagle’s Eye View
Egg Shells
A large percentage of the egg
losses due to cracking and breaking i
can be eliminated by proper feeding, !
suggests C. F. Parrish, extension ;
poultryman.
About 5 per cent of all eggs pro- 1
duced are lost between the nest and 1
the table, and most of this loss can
be eliminated by feeding the flock
a sufficient amount of vitamin D to
enable them to utilize to full ad-
vantage the calcium in the oyster
shell or ground limestone.
Oyster shell or ground limestone,
which should be before the flock at
all times, is not enough in itself to
eliminate thin-shelled eggs. There
are several carriers of vitamin D
such as feeding oil and, if the flock
is producing many soft- or thin-
shelled eggs, it is advisable to mix
this feeding oil or other sources cf
vitamin D with the grain every day.
Sources having a potency of 400 units
of vitamin D per gram ghould be
used at the rate of one-half pound
to each 100 pounds of grain. This
can be easily mixed when using 2
ounces of oil to each 23 pounds of
grain.
Estonia Smallest of Baltic
States, Long a Buffer
Estonia is the northern!lost of the
three small states—including Latvia
and Lithuania—that front the Baltic
sea. Its northeast “panhandle,”
formed by big Peipus lake to the
south, is about 75 air miles south-
west of Leningrad.
Estonia is the smallest of the Bal-
tic trio. Including the two big
islands, Saare and Hiiu, off the west
coast, it is, roughly, twice the size of
Vermont. The two islands guard the
Baltic’s traffic lanes leading to the
Gulf of Finland. In 1939, under a
mutual assistance pact between the
Soviet Union and Estonia, the is-
lands, together with a key port on
the mainland,^were leased as bases
for the Red army.
Estonia was. a Russian province
for more than two centuries before
the postwar struggles and rearrange-
ments of national boundaries in 1913-
1920, brought three-way independ-
ence to the Baltic'states.
From medieval times, the Estoni-
an headland thrust between the Gulf
of Finland and the Baltic sea was
a buffer region, held and fought over
by powerful neighbors, German,
Swedish, and Russian.

SENIORS KIN TOURNAMENT
The DHS daises finished their
basketball tournaments last Fri-
d iy with the Seniors winners.
) The Seniors lost only one game
in the tournament and that was to
the Sophomore dass Thursday at
noon. The captain of the Senior
dass, Robert Cox. was absent and
this was the cause of the defeat,
which was by only one point. The
scores were 13 to 14 and Walker
made a field goal after the whistle.
The Seniors came back Friday
to defeat the Sophomores for the
second time. The scores this time
were 12 to 26 in favor cr the Sen
;iors.
The Freshman team was very
small, but they surprised everyone,
especially the Juniors. This game
was played Wednesday and the
Juniors had to work hard to beat
them by three points. *
SPORTS
Good Disb
Mr. Groundhog may not come out
to see his shadow on February 2,
but when he does come out and fat-
tens on clover and grass and vege-
tables from the Victory garden, he
may make a good dish for the fam-
ily dinner table.
If the animals are hunted or
trapped to prevent damage to crops,
the meat should not be wasted, says
William S. Heit of the Fish and Wild-
life service. Woodchuck meat is dark
in color and. mild in flavor. It re-
quires no soaking before cooking.
The meat may be fried, roasted, or
stewed. Young animals make ten-
der meat, meat from older wood-
chucks should be parboiled before it
is fried or roasted.
Woodchuck meat is not as dry as
some game, as the animal often de-
velops a good layer of fat. After the
animal is skinned, the “kernels"
or* glands on the underside of the
front legs should be cut out before
the meat is cooked.
Egg Whipping
A cold egg just out of the refrig-
erator separates most easily because
the white is firm and the yolk less
likely to break, but the white whips
best after the egg has warmed to
“room temperature.”
How long to whip is another se-
cret the cook needs to know. Whites j
should be whipped st ff but not dry. |
If they are to hold their air bubbles
while they are folded into a cake
mixture and then cooked, they must [
not be stretched too thin by over- j
beating. Whip until the white will
hold up in a soft peak and looks {
glossy but not so long that it looks j
dry. A pinch of salt helps egg •
whites hold their stiffness. On the ;
other hand even a small particle of
fat in the white will prevent it from
beating stiff. I v or moderate heat
is the rule tv ooking egg white
dishes. I
Indian Customs
Here are a few hints on child-
rearing collected from aboriginal
practices of the Cahita Ind’ans of
Mexico:
If the child is backward in teeth-
ing, place a string of rattlesnake
teeth around his neck.
If the youngster doesn’t talk as
soon as he should, rub some intoxi-
cating beverage into his gums.
Litile girls should have their ears
pierced in order to avoid misfor-
tunes in future life.
Children should not be punished
by their parents.
Young men and women must not
be allowed to smoke.
Marriages are to be arranged by
the parents, though the children may
be consulted if desired.
These customs are revealed in a
study, The Aboriginal Culture of the
Cahita Indians, by Dr. Ralph L.
Beals, associate professor of anthro-
pology on the Los Angeles campus
of the University of California.
! As the basketball season is olTi

Fish Reduction ,
Fish reduct m consists of extract- |
ing from fish *d fish offal the es-
sential oils and also .using the resi-
due after such oil extraction to make
various meals which ate useful as
fertilizers and stock food. The raw
product to be reduced is taken first
to large cookors, during which proc-
ess the oil is separated from the
offal. This oil is precipitated to large
settling tanks and allowed to cool.
After the oil has been extracted, the
residue travels to a long tubular
drying kiln. This kiln is usually
some 80 feet long, with the meal
entering at' the far end ,from the
burner. The Circular rotation of the
kiln draws the meal toward the
burner, and the intense heat which ia
produced by this burner extracts
every bit of moisture from the mi
lbs meal is then drawn fiff, toJHb !
New Locomotives
Class 1 railroads put 28,708 freight
cars and 773 locomotives in service
in 1943, the Association of American
Railroads reveals. This was the
smallest number of cars installed
since 1940, but the greatest number
of locomotives since 1930.
In 1942 the railroads put 63,009
new freight cars and 712 new loco-
motives in service. Of the new
freight ears installed in the past
calendar year, there were 1,923 plain
box. 356 automobile, 8,792 gondola,
15,137 hopper, 2,446 flat, four refrig-
erator, three stock, and 47 miscel-
laneous cars.
The new locomotives installed in
1943 included 429 steam, 15 electric,
and 329 Diesel compared with 308
steam and 404 electric and DjgttJ in

Enact Laws to Govern
Increasing Bicycle Traffic
Appearance of a growing number
of bicycles on the ration's streets
and highways since 1940, eoinciuent
with restricted motor vehicle trans-
portation, has led many cities to
enact ordinances and *ake other
steps during th'S period to regulate
use ot these vehicles.
At present, three of every five
cities in the country report an ordi-
nance in effect for the regulation of
bicycles according to information
to the- American Municipal associa-
tion.
The information n based on nn
analysis by the American A.iU mo-
bile association ot answers fmm
326 cities in a survey to determine
the seriou: ness of flic bicycle prob-
lem and steps taken to meet it. The
survey indicated that about 54 per
cent of the regulatory ordinances
have been enacted since 1939.
Musi of the cities require registra-
tion of bicycles, 118 requiring anhuai
registration and 66 requiring regis-
tration whenever bicycle ownership
changes hands. The registration fee
charged most commonly is 25 cents,
with 50 cents next i« line. Three of
the cities reported a $] registration
fee.
