SE SKIRJIISH after another between canital and
lahcr c a u m the common people, who have to foot
all the bills, to n-cnder where this thing will end. Every
%trike to improve the condition of some of us makes it
just that mnch harder for all of us. And the strikes are
eilch strange etrl!res. Thq are not what the? used to be.
This striking of policemen is sn entirely new thing, and

To know the genegia of "H C. L." throws Light upon the
subject. This ia h o r n in certain circles. The insiders
even b o w the individual transaction with which 'CH.C.
L." was born.
Tradition of the street has it this way: It waa in
the early days of the big war, in 1914 or t h e m h u h
The event took place in the explosives industry. Many
of the smaller nations were caught short of gun powder.
The American powder companies were filled with o r d m
for way ahead. They did not care whether any mom
orders came ar not.
One of the srnaIler countries had erhansted ita
patience waiting for the big powder companies to accept
their order far a few million pounda They approached
a lesser concern supplicating permission to w d their
money. Even the d oompaniea were full of b d n e s s
from large customers, with orders booked far ahead.
The ruling price wam say thirty cents a pound. So the
d concern, in order to dircourage the d country,
said that they would accept the ordm at a dollar r
pound or thereabouts.
The general situation was in control of His Excellencp, Uars, the world's her-Lord of the last few yeam,
and porrder at a dollar was chap beside the possible
rain of War. The order waa placed, and the little povder
concern had the best order yet on ita books.
Within a month or thereabouts, the current price of
powder was a dollar a pound. Other business grasped
the golden opportunitp. Other commodities, bought by
countries at mar, were jumped up to a figure intended
to approaai the rkmorrs standard 'XU &e M c a;&'

If the people were clever enough to insist upon havin5

that would not nuy in actual value, they would not be
troubled abont the high cost of Living. If a dollar ronld

scarcity or plenty, the people w d d have one less important factor to contend with. Their wages-would

OLL R BEARINGS will bear the heariest loads,
ball bearings rank next and babbit metal ir next.
If the bearings are loose, thick lubricants like graphite

Such lubricants form ridges around the shaft at the

The best oils for high speed shaft3 with light pressure

307~olive oil (of which the better grades are dark and
poorer , d e s light in color) and 50% light mineral oil.
For low speed hai its with light pressure on the beari i g s the best lubricant is 50% olive oil and 50% light
m i n e d oil.
For high speed shafts w i f i heavy pressure on the
bearings the best lubricant id 35% lard oil (the liquid
obtained from crystallized lnrd by straining under presNR), 25% sperm oil and 40% henw lcinerd oil.
For low speed shafts with heavy pressure on karings
the bed lubricant is 60% colza oil ( a pale yellow oil
obtained from rape seed) 25% lard oil and 25% M o w

For moderately high speed shafts with very heavy

the concern with whirl1 he is coanected is not doing
work that is hportsrit eno11g11to merit publicity there
is no reason wh? it e1,ould expect the public to be interested in what i t has to say. The advertiabg man is a
pusher for business, a pioneer, ao expert in-the art of
creating new wants or new w a s ti, snppip old ones.
E w v person who announces a policr is an advertiser,
8 publisher, a proclaimer of what he purposes to do.
When Satan said, "I w i l l e d t my throne abore the stars
af God; I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north ;I will ascend above tha
heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High"
(Isainli 14:13,14) lle as advertising or aru~ouncinghis
policy, namely that of self-aggrandizeueut. \\'hen our
Lord said, "I came down from heaven, not to do mine
own will, but the w i l l of him that sent me" (John 6:38)
he was advertising or announcing his policy, that of
complete submission to the Father's Kill. I n the Golden
Age it wdl be apparent to all that La was the wi*
course. The Lord's present I a h exaltation "above
every name that is namcd" is justly merited I n hja

POLITICAL, DOMESTIC and FOREIGN
OUR BOYS AND THE FRENCH
GREAT many A.mericau soldiers did not came nway
from France with very good opinions of either the
country or the people. The? dc-terbcl its mud, which is
everywhere, its unpaved street, its lack of bathtubs, its
omnipresent manure piles, its sj-,stem of charging Amcricans se~eraltimes as much for supplies as it did Frenchmen for the same articles, ontl its women most of all.
The true .Snerican laves and ailmires true -romanhood
and finds little to admire in a community u,l~ere,according to a prominent D. D., a man can enter almost any
home and treat the woman of that home as his o m wife.
And he stated that this k largely h e throughout
France.
The French people did not jind all of our soldiers all
that they chould wish, either. They fomd them too
much addicted to bard liquor, and n i t infreqnently too
rnde in speech and a d . The effect of French liquors
upon our soldiers mar be judged from the fact thnt at
one t i e i3. the summer of 1918 there were 30,000
officersand men of the h e r i c a n troops absent without
leare from their organizations.
According to the mother of an American soldier now
buried in France, the French are reported to be greatly
shocked owr the American neglect of some cemeteries in
which are buried the -4merican dead. Some of these
cemeteries, a pear a f t ~ they
r
were drst used, were said
to be fall of rows of closely packed white cmsea and
long trenches instead of, as n-ith the French, individual
grmes, carefully cared for. I n Borne of the cemeteries
there was said to be no flag flying, no person on c a r d ,
nothing to indicate that anybody had snp interest in the
~eed-mvered grounds. In the French grounds the
officers and mcn are buried together; in the Bmericnn
grounds they are kept separate Dl& is the t h e n for
this ?
Geoerd Persliing is of the opinion thnt the Americans
r h o fell in hsttle in France &odd be allowed to lie
where the? arc now buried, but &is does not seem to
agree nith the general sentimen-t of those wllo have lo&
their lored ores on ti:: field of battle. General Pershing

It vill be a great day for thc fathers and mother3
and brothers and sisters and sacethearts of the b o p that
fell in France when '-all thnt are in their graves shall
h a r his voice and shall come forth" (John 6:28,29)
and it will be a great (lay for the boys themwlrcs. \Ve
believe that this a\\-akenicg of those no\%- asleep in
death is near at hand am1 that it a-ill not be so long
before some of those boys now buried in France will
come and look a t the very places where all that nes left
of their mortal remains was laid in the summer of 1913.
In a future issue we hope to give the reasons for our
belief that the resurrection nill begin within the next
decade.
SIZE OF PEACE ARdm
T IS GENERALLY believed that Senator Chamberlain effectually killed the so-called March bill, recently
presented for Mr. Baker, Secretary of War, and the
General S t d of the United States a m 7 . Senator
Chamkrlain denounced the bill not only because it
aimed at a vast military establishment, 509,000 men in
time of peace, but because the General S U wanM for
the purpose a lump sum to be erpended entirely at iti
discretion, Congress merely serving in the capaci* of
milker of the public caw to provide the funds. Senator
Chamberlain said that the bill as proposed spelled
"Xilitarism to a degree never surpaseed in the palmiet
days of the great general st& of the German m y . ' '
The General St& n-as what ruined Oermany. Tkere is
no General Staff in the MTJ, probably the most &dent,
best managed department of the Government. Perhaps
that is th* reason for its dciency.
It map be true that there are good reasons wby the
IJnited States peace m y should in a few years be fonr
times as great as it was in 1917, but it would seem ss
though the wreckege in Europe- &odd be canhcing
that it is not a good thing to have millions of armed men
standing around riFith nothing to do. It stands ta reason
that some of those men, those who have the most to @in
br it. or who think they have the most to gain b~ it, will
u-;e what infuenc? they have to bring on war, in the hope
of profiting thereby.
Tillat is the proper size of 8 standing army for the
ITnited States in time of peace? Should i t be 500,000
as propowd bp Mr. Baker, or 300,000 as propowd bp
General AleSndrew, former C h i d of Staff of the American Expeditionq Force, or 120,000 ae it a s in 19171

HE AREA of Alaska is a little more than the combined a r m of Maine. Sew- Hampshire. Vermont,
Jiassachusettc, Rhode Island, Connecticut, 4cw Tor!;,
S e w Jerscp, Pennsylvania. Delarc-am, 3Iarylar.d, Virginia, \Vest Virginia, Sorth Carolina, Soutlr Carolina,
Georgia, Florida, Ohio, Indiana and Illinois. The tillable arm is h u t q u d to tbat of Connecticut.
Much of the land, ewn on rather steep hillside*. is
boggy, the drainage k i n g poor. The formation of the
roil and the blanket of moss, dm& nnivcraallr present,
greatly extends the marshp area. I n some places the
layer of dead and living moss covers t ! g~ o u n d to a
depth of sevcral fect. The poncr possessed by the moss
of absorbing nnd retaining l u g e amounts of wcter and
its character as n nonconductor of ~ C P ?will. to some
ertent, account for the cold, n e t condition of thc underlying soil. The pregnce of this dense mossy laycr ma1;ci
travelling very difficult, since crcviccs, rocks, fallen
limbs, and trees are so co~ercdthat numerous pitfalls
are hidden from sight. I3enefcid results follow the
remoral of the moss so that the soil mar be sarmed
u i d thawed earlier in thc season.
In general, the coo-it of Alska is characterized I)!g e n t rainfall and a rather constant temperature. due to
the Japan current, ahich sweeps thc nholc c a d . I n
many placer zero temperature is seldom expericrced.
The average daily range of the thermoxmter dming the
summer months is very small. The temperature a t
Wmgell, Juneau and Sitka are almost the same ao
those for the same period at Trondhjem and Bergen, in
h'om-ay, Helsiagtors, Finland, the whole of Scotland
m d thc OrLney Islands. The total amount of summer
rainfall, while large, is not clcesive. I n general, along
the coast rcgion, the wintert snow has disappeared a t
sea l e r d hy the middle of April, a!thocgh mow flurries
are comnlon for some time after that date. Killing frosts
u e seldom experienced between May and October.
The organic content of man:; of tlie Ala.4ian soi!s is
rcry much higher thnn .in any of the agric.uliura1 lands
of the States. Frequently the soil is arirlulous and
require considerable lime to sweeten it. I n placrs the
roil is p e q in appearance and when dry it bulna
redily. There is considerable of this mil in the southeastern portion. I n southwestern Alaska n gnvclly submil is morc J u n d n n t and thc presentx of volcanic

OR-ingto a low grade of moral ethics on the part of
the p e a t Inen of thc xorid, hummity is still in a darkage stage where the fittest to survive are imaginrd to be
the most ferocious, unscrupulous and destructive. Tho.5~
to ~ r h o mhomage is paid are still as in the dark past of

of thi3 world ia their wisdom. h-one other would be
permitted to be taught. Time and again in the dark
ages the world's great ones hare d r s m e d various
h~unanetheories in the blood of their advocates and
adherents.
The best wisdom for the common people is to follow
what is termed c l i a e wisdom As James says, "The
wisdom that is from above is first pure [sincere, not
double dealmg]. then peaceable [not rrarlike], gentle
[not rough and boisterous], and easy to be entreated
[not hard hearted], full of mercy [not cruel. ferocious
and destn~ctire], and good fruits [not evil fruitage of
wicked acts], without partialitg [treating all alike with
liindness], and without hnocrisy." How dserent from
present methods of persistent deception of the people in
the public press, in the pulpit and everywhere else that
it pays to withold or distort the truth!-Tames 3:17.
The time is coming when the antiquated type of great
man w i l l be as extinct as the monsters of the geologic
pad, and in their plcce the great ones of the Golden 9 g e
will be the gentle, Christlike lovers of mankind, who
rill be the beloved leaders of a world full of those of
whom it is said, 'The meek shall inherit the earth", and
r i t h the earth " e h d inherit everlasting life." (Matthew
5 :5,19:29) The a-orld d l be a good ]>lace for the
common people to li\.e in when the oppressors are gone

Mr. Smith says, 'This inrention d l furnish power

buildings and streets. The electric railway companies
can rern0c.e their trolley wires, and dismantle their
costly poacr plants. .4U unsightly smoke stacks can be

be no more coal famines in the winter months, as coal
will not be needed, and the coal mines can be sealed, and
the coal barons will be checked. Yotorists d

their automobiles without using gasoline"
Some day nen- sources of power are ddined to be
discorered, and if inrentor Smith hss an invention of the
claimed efficiency, he will be a renowned world benefactor. But the financial interests will won know ity

prevent a catastrophic annihilation of wlaei in oil, coal

The Good Book says that mch blessings are to be

heard, neither hare entered inta the heart of man, the
things which God hath prepared for them that love
him". (1 Corinthians 2 :9) In the Qolden Age dl men
sill love God for his gaodneas and far his matchless
charscter, and i t may be that some such imention as
inventor Smith's msy eoon appear to inaugurate some
of the blessings that are to come

SEA WEED UTJZlTIES
AIIIE MAX has been busy reaping and consuming the products of the surface of the earth, ha
has neglected an entire realm of the vegetable world.
I t is e s t i i t e d that there are some 15,000 varieties of
what in ignorance of its life-giving qualities is termed
wa "weed". Only a little attention has been paid to the
vegetable growth of the waters, but that has yielded
valuable results.
T h e idea has taken root in some astute minds that
reamed ma7 hare commercial or money-making possibilities, m d with selfishness as a motive, something is
being done to mrrh-e them raluable to humanity.
In Japrn the matter has been gom into for same time,

turning the water grou-ths inta boots, picture frames,
muble &ring, electric switchboards and r subtitate

IN INDUSTRY
YIXG Alcohol was dethroned aa a beverage
list July the annual u r of the drug UI the Cnited
States dropped from 269,000,000 to 100,000.000 gallons,
the latter q ~ ~ a n t ibeing
t y connuned largely in the various
arts, ant1 the differcnec having been drunk heretofore
wlely as a beverage.
I t is prcdicted. however, that the time is not far
distant when 2,500,000,000 gallom of alcohol rill be
annually employed in the arts and indlistriea and for
niotor fuel in automobiles. As the petroleum supply
drindlrs and the price of gasoline advances to that of
alcohol, alcohol will rapidly replace gasoliine as a fuel.
Even now denatured ethyl alcohol in carload lots is the
cherpcr. Furthermore. alcohol yields more power to the
gallon than gasolim, it does not clog carbureter:, it is
clean to handle, and does not have a disngreeable odor.
There are scores of untouched sources of commercial
dcohol. Anv plant, fruit or grain which can be fermented is a possible spring for the greater stream of the
drug which is yet to flow to do the work of man. Palms,
corn stalks, sawdust and the cactus are among the
articles which can be fermented into some kind of sugar,
and the sugar into alcohol. Alcohol may be enthroned
again as King-not as a beraage but as a'power, in the
realm where gasoline now reigns.
I n olden days dcohol was not known m a separate
dintillate, and the liquidn containing it were noteaorthp,
or notorious, as intoxicants. NOW-that
the fcmntrg is
legally dry as Bahara, the Biblical warnings against
intempemnce may be out of date, but they rill long
wire as reminders of former d a ~ s :for -ample, of an
England or an Smerica, made "merrie" by its liquors.

coamand Man did violate God's law and was aenb e d to die, the farmd ps -- of the judgment reading :
'Tor dust thou art and unto dust thou mhdt &urn."
To cairn this judgment of death God eeparated Adun

foad which grew there. cawed him to feed upon the
poimiour dements of tire earth, and thus the death
mtencc was esccutcd.

their pumts by reason of the death qnteuce. "As by tin
