Evolution

“INVOLUTION DISPROVED,” presenting 'fifty proofs that it can not be true’, by Dr. W. A. Williams, Camden, N. J., expresident of Franklin College, Ohio, is a valuable work of 128 pages in the important field which it covers.

Dr. Williams claims to be a thoroughly-consecrated child of God; and that he has a zeal for God nobody who reads his book can question. Certainly no one can dispute the masterly way in which he handles his subject Probably no other man is so.well qualified to discuss it.

Under the heading “The Unity of the Human Race” Dr. Williams says:

The present population of the globe proves that mankind must have descended from one pair who lived not earlier than the time of Noah. The unity of languages also proves one common head about the same time. Certain beliefs and customs, common to various religions, point to one original God-given religion in, historic time, in contrast to the evolution idea of many religions invented by ape-men in millions of years. The history of the world and the migration of nations point to one locality where the human race began in times not more remote, and show that man was created in a civilized state, and, therefore, never was a brute. If evolution were true, there would have been many billion times as many human beings as now exist, a great multitude of invented languages with little or no similarity, a vast number of invented religions with little, if anything, in common. Even the sciences invented and exploited by evolutionists, the Mendelian Inheritance Law and Biometry, also prove evolution impossible. The unity of mankind is also conclusively shown by the fact that all races interbreed, the most certain test of every species. All these facts pointing to the unity of the race in the days of Noah and Adam are irreconcilable with the theory of evolution which denies that unity within the last two million years.

Under the heading “The Population of the World” the Doctor enters upon a surprisingly simple, forceful method of proof, based upon the known number of Jacob’s descendants and

Disproved

the known length of time since his marriage, that man could not have been on the earth longer than the Scriptures declare has been the case.

Incidentally, these figures establish that not over 16,384 persons perished in the Flood, During the World War the soldier boys, the cream of civilization, were slaughtered at the rate of 7,000 a day, and the total daily deaths due to that war were far in excess of the grand total that perished in the Flood.

Under “The Unity of Languages” we get the information that the words for “father” and “mother” are similar in form and are found in many languages in all the five great groups, 'Aryan, Semitic, Hamitic, Turanian and Chinese, showing a common original tongue and proving the early existence of the home and civilization!.

The point is made that the maps of ancient nations all show that mankind radiated from a center approximately in Mesopotamia on the Tigris and Euphrates rivers and that the great nations of antiquity were clustered about this center.

Under the head “Civilizations” the declaration is made that from the Sumerian voeabu-* lary, the oldest known language in the world, it is evident that the people who spoke the language had a comparatively high civilization and that the skill of artisans who worked four thousand years ago is beyond praise, as illustrated in their carvings and paintings.

Under “The Mendelian Inheritance Law”, well known to every evolutionist, there must always be recessions, and therefore there must necessarily be many ape-men now living; yet no such ape-like tribe of human beings exists: a decisive proof that man never descended from the brute.

Under the heading “'No New Species Now” the charge is made that even Darwin himself admitted that “in spite of all the efforts of

trained observers., not one change of species into another is on record-’. A. colleague of Dr. .Williams’ put this question up to the heads of all the leading colleges and universities in the land, and every one of them was obliged to admit that no such instance is known, even though many of them are still teaching their students that it may,be true. Their fear of one another and their insincerity in their belief in evolution are manifest in their answers.

Dr. Williams demands to know, if evolution be true, why it is that fishes are not now changing into amphibians, amphibians into reptiles, reptiles into birds, and mammals and monkeys into men, and adds significantly: “If growth, development, evolution, were the rule, there w’ould be no lower order of animals, for all have had sufficient time to develop into the highest orders. Many have remained the same: some have deteriorated.”

Attention is called also to the very important fact that water has a dozen unique properties that condition life, that carbon dioxid is absolutely necessary to life, and that the properties of the ocean are so beautifully adjusted to life that scientists can but marvel at its exact fitness for the work the Creator has made it to do. Furthermore, few things are more repellent to man than a dead sea, a lifeless body of water.

Under “The Age of the Earth” Dr. Williams says of the evolutionists that “they help themselves to eternity without stint”, but whereas one of their number blandly stated that the lowest estimate of time required for the existing delta of the Mississippi is 100,000 years, officers of the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey, experts in that line of work, have stated that the delta is only 4,400 years old.

Under the head “Geology and History” and in “Paleontology” Dr. Williams goes at length into the subjects of the Pithecanthropus Erectus, the Heidelberg man, the Piltdown fake (sic) and the Neanderthal man and says convincingly : “All the bones purporting to belong to these four creatures would not together make one complete skeleton, or even one complete skull A child could carry all this 'evidence’ in a basket. These skulls can be duplicated with abnormal skulls in many graveyards today. Scientists are not certain they belong to the same individual. Part ape, part human. A 'desperate effort to get convincing evidence where there is none.” Yet, on the other side of the ledger: “Remains of the unchanged ape are abundant. But the alleged human remains are scanty and uncertain. Now if there were millions and billions of human beings developing from the brutes, should we not expect as many remains as of horses and mammoths and apes? We do not have millions of them, simply because they did not exist.”

Under the head “Geographical Distribution” Dr. Williams points out the high improbability of the two hundred species of oysters, some unisexual and some double-sexed, and found in all warm climates, having originated from one source; because oysters live attached to solid rocks, or other supports, and do not move at all. How could they cross thousands of miles of ocean barren of all food?

Dr. Williams sees the hand of the Creator in our coal, oil and all the valuable minerals, and in the fact that when within four degrees of the freezing point water expands and ice becomes lighter than water, thus saving all life, as otherwise bodies of water would freeze solid. He sees design too in the ten thousand square feet of sweat glands of the human body and the 700,000,000 cells of the human lungs.

As to the evolutionist guess that the first eye was caused by a freckle, the Doctor calculates from the total surface of the human body that the eye, even if it came that way, had but one chance in three thousand to land where it did and that the two eyes and the two ears have but one mathematical chance out of a million million to be located where they are. Even Darwin himself says: “The belief that an organ so perfect as the eye could have been formed by natural selection, is more than enough to stagger any one.”

The ridiculousness of the claims of evolutionists is shown up when they want sensible men to believe that cold-blooded reptiles with a temperature of 40° to 60°, and with a threechambered heart, changed into birds with temperatures as high as 107°, and with a fourchambered heart, developing in the meanwhile wings and feathers without knowing in the least why they were doing .it.

Dr. Williams wants to know on what the first germ lived if there was no vegetation, how the first animals lived before mothers were 'developed, why man has no hair on his back and

what has become of his tail, and why it is, if evolution be true, that nature loathes hybrids and decrees their death. 1

He also wants to know why it is that Moses, if he was not inspired, managed to state in their correct order the eleven elemental facts of the creation of the earth and its preparation to be the home of man, when, mathematically, there was only one chance in 39,916,800 that he could be correct. ■>

Dr. Williams is impressed with the fact that across the entire stretch of the universe there are the same perfect and complete laws respecting light, heat, electricity and gravitation.

He marshalls the opinions of Dr. Etheridge, of the British Museum; Prof. Beale, of King’s College, London; Prof. Virchow, of Berlin; Prof. Fleishman, of Erlangen; Prof. Agassiz; Dr. W. H. Thompson, president of New York Academy of Medicine; Sir William Dawson, geologist; Dr. St. George Mivert, University College, Kensington; Dr. James Orr, Edinburgh University; Dr. Trass, paleontologist; Dr. Shaler, Harvard University, and many others, including evolutionists themselves, as agreeing that evolution is unproved, improvable, and a theory which has not for its support a shadow of scientific evidence.

Despite all the foregoing good things in Dr. Williams’ book (and we have only barely touched a few of them), the book has certain objections to which we feel obliged to call attention.

Dr. Williams hurts himself with Bible Students by applying to himself a title which is used but once in the Bible and then is applied in the most solemn manner only to Jehovah God, the Creator and Sustainer of the Universe. “Holy and reverend is his name.” (Psalm 111: 9) “Be not ye called Rabbi: for one is your Master, even Christ : and all ye are brethren.” -—Matthew 23:8.

Dr. Williams hurts himself again with Bible Students when he accepts without question the doctrine of the inherent immortality of the soul, which has not a single text in the Bible to support it, and 'which has done more to cause blasphemy of God’s holy name than all other things' in the world put together. Inherent immortality and eternal torture go together. When the one is disproved the other falls with it.

The Bible shows plainly that when a man dies everything concerning him dies, body, breath, speech, memory, thought, love, hatred, envy, activity, plans, knowledge, wisdom, soul, all. The texts are plain enough. It is the theologians, not God, who have distorted the plainly evident meanings of such texts as Genesis 3:19; Job 14:21; Psalms 6:5; 115:17; 146: 4; Ecclesiastes 3:19; 9: 5, 6,10; Isaiah 38:18; Ezekiel 18: 4, 20; James 2: 26, margin. When man dies he is dead for ever unless God sees fit to resurrect him. This was true even of Jesus.—Revelation 1:18.

Finally, Dr. Williams hurts himself with Bible Students because he wishes the proceeds of the sale of his book to be used in part “to be loaned perpetually to help build churches”, not seeing, as do the Bible Students, that he would thus be trying to build up what God has disowned and is now engaged in removing from the scene. Building churches will not help matters now. The churches have had their day. They have become centers of belief in evolution and unbelief in the Bible, and accomplices in every act of murder arranged for by Big Business and the politicians.

If the churches had stood on Christ’s side there would have been no World War, nor any other war of consequence for 1500 years; and if they had stood on Christ’s side the doctrine of evolution would today be the laughing-stock it deservesrto be. -

Dr. Williams’ book is a remarkable contribution to the cause of truth, and we are only sorry that the defects named make it impossible for us to give it an unconditional endorsement.

Standard Oil of Indiana

STANDARD OIL of Indiana has been forced to reduce its dividend rate from 6% to 3%, but the same company paid out 850% in stock dividends in 1903, 450% in 1906, 2,900% in 1912,150% in 1920, and 100% in 1922; so at the present dividend rate of 3% the poor stockholders of the company are getting in actual returns only about 500% a year on their investment. The chairman of this company, It W. Stewart, was under indictment for refusing to testify before the senate in the matter of the Sinclair Teapot Dome robberies, and was recently unanimously reelected chairman of his company. He is now to be tried for perjury.

An Opinion Upon Aluminum Kitchen Utensils Dr. Chas. T. Betts

IT IS interesting to note the statements made by Dr. Goernandt, of the Imperial Association of the' German Industry of Aluminum .Wares, in the March, issue of the German edition of The Golden 'Age. The Doctor’s four positive statements reduced to simple language mean: (1) Aluminum kitchen wares do not affect digestion or bowel action; (2) they do not cause cancer; (3) they are absolutely sanitary; (4) they are not poisonous.

The purpose of this article is to answer the foregoing statements. The writer, before 1913, had a most splendid aluminum culinary outfit in his home kitchen. Gastric disease developed to such a degree, after several years of their use, that a journey to Colorado was made by him, seeking air, sunshine or something that might be of benefit to his health.

It was while at Manitou, Colorado, that he made the discovery that “soda” water was effervescent in his aluminum drinking cup. This was positive evidence that the metal dissolves and generates a gas when in combination with an alkali (soda) and liquid (water).

Aluminum mixed with an alkali and filler is used with a liquid (water or milk) for the purpose of leavening. This compound is known as baking powder and is employed for “making gas” in the dough. (War Department, U. S. A., The Anny Cook, April 2, 1928, page 2) Aluminum compounds of various kinds are made by the aluminum which dissolves from the cooking utensils, and they are taken into the body with foods which are prepared therein.

The saliva is an alkaline substance and is swallowed along with the aluminum compounds formed by aluminum cooking utensils. These combine and produce what is known as “gas” in the stomach. The chemical reaction takes place in that organ instead of in a dish on the table, as when the same ingredients are used for leavening bread. This “gas in the stomach” produces what is knowm as “acid eructation”. Aluminum compounds have great “activity”.

When food passes from the stomach, it enters the duodenum. This organ supplies another quantity of alkaline juice and it combines with the aluminum content in the foods, which were not neutralized by the saliva. This process continues until all the acid metal aluminum is neutralized by the alkaline substances. So the “'gas making”, or leavening process, is continued through the bowel tract during the period of time the foods pass through them. “Gas” in the bowels produces what is known to the medical profession as “flatulence”. Acid eructation and flatulence are common terms applied to what are known as gastric diseases.

Not only is aluminum a direct corrosive agent upon living tissue of the alimentary canal; but it destroys vitamines in the food, which makes them valueless or nearly so, when consumed. The following statement is from the official record at Washington, D. 0., Docket No. 540, Federal Trade Commission. Dr. Albert P. Matthews, of the College of Medicine, University of Cincinnati, Ohio, testifies:

Action on vitamines:

Probably a more serious result will be that it (aluminum) will unite with various essential constituents of the food present in small quantities, substances called food accessory substances or vitamines, and these substances will be thereby so changed as no longer to exert their usual action on the body.

If animals, and those persons on a restricted diet, have barely sufficient of these substances to support the life of its tissues, a very serious condition will be produced in the alimentary canal, owing to the lack of these essential substances.

Action on intestines:

This condition will be very similar to the conditions described by Chittenden and Underhill as a pellagrous condition. There will be hemorrhagic condition of the intestines with ulceration of the duodenum and at times of the stomach also.

Action after absorption:

The aluminum from such residues after absorption into the blood and lymph will exert the usual action of aluminum salts on the tissues and organs of the body, this action being more or less severe depending on the quantity of aluminum absorbed.

Regardless of absorption, aluminum can exert an irritating action on the mucosa of the gastro-intestinal tract without absorption; and in the manner already stated it may exert the deleterious action on the food, so changing its quality as no longer to exert the nourishing effect it would have exerted in the absence of aluminum.

The Doctor’s second statement is that aluminum utensils do not cause cancer. This is indeed unusual. The only conclusion any one can glean from that statement is that Dr. Goernandt is familiar with the various causes which produce cancer. 'Aluminum cooking utensils are not included in his list of cancer-producing agents. This would indicate that the Doctor is more learned upon the subject than any other man in the world.

This writer does not know of any particular agent or cause of cancer, neither does he know of any one in the world who has scientifically proven a specific cause of the disease. All the research work done and the millions upon millions of dollars spent by orthodox medicine, has not yielded one iota of information concerning the cause or cure of cancer; therefore, until that fact is determined, the writer believes that the alum which dissolves from aluminum cooking utensils, when ingested in foods cooked therein, is just as specific a cause of cancer as any other protoplasmic (the life cell) poison.

We have a great number of scientists today whose opinions are that cancer is produced by the use of aluminum kitchen utensils. The following quotation is from no less an authority than Dr. Wm. A. Dew’ey, of Los Angeles, California, secretary of the Koch Cancer Foundation of America. This article appeared in the October, 1926, Koch Cancer Foundation Bulletin.

The interfering features most commonly met with that obstruct the development of immunity have been discussed previously as X-ray, radium, metals such as colloidal gold, mercury, arsenic, etc. An important interfering metallic agency not heretofore discussed and associated with the diet, is aluminum.

Aluminum is dissolved very readily by distilled water or ordinary water from aluminum cooking utensils, and in such quantities as cause interference with recovery. Foods likewise, when cooked in aluminum ware, dissolve out large quantities of aluminum; and for this reason it is necessary to avoid aluminum dishes and utensils in the preparation of the food for a cancer patient. 1

Another article which is similar to many being published today, upon the relation of aluminum cooking utensils to cancer, is as follows, appearing in the Los Angeles Times of Mav 22, 1927. ’

Another possible source of chronic poisoning is aluminum. Cooking utensils made of this metal are in almost universal use and quantities of baking powder containing salts of aluminum are exposed A sale in our shops. A few months ago we thought that quite a discovery had been made when it was found that all foods cooked in aluminum receptacles greatly increased the cancer reactions and even water boiled in an aluminum dish behaved similarly. All baking powder containing

alum compounds had^he sahfe effect; they Were inimical to the cancer patient. ■

Perhaps this particular action with respect to cancer has not before been published, but recently I have found a small work, “An Opinion Upon Aluminum,” by Dr. Charles T. Betts, of Toledo, Ohio, that conclusively shows aluminum to be one of the great sources of chronic poisoning. Dr. Betts computes that the average person whose food is cooked in aluminum ware, and whose bread is baked with an alum baking powder, consumes four to five grains of aluminum salts at each meal, or twelve to fifteen grains a day, and this every day in the year. If this is one of the sources of chronic poisoning which is cancer-producing, can we wonder that this disease is increasing by leaps and bounds? Can we expect our treatment to be highly effective while these causes are active? I think not. The conclusion is obvious. '

Upon investigating the subject of cancer-producing substances, all that is necessary is to examine the official records of our government, for statements, opinions or other documents that can be found in abundance, pertaining to aluminum’s being a poison, and the metal as a death-dealing agent to the human body.

The following is only one opinion of more than forty which were given by many internationally-known scientists in a single case at Washington, D. C., Federal Trade Commission, Docket No. 540. Dr. Victor Vaughan, thirty years dean of the Medical College of the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, Michigan, and president of the Medical Association for six years, relates the following:

In 1900, even before Dr. Mallett’s work, I said that aluminum must be absorbed, and testifying before a senate committee I testified that it would be difficult for all of the alum to escape absorption. My conclusion is that the salts of aluminum are harmful in the human body.

I say, Most of these poisons by absorption are carried by the blood and the lymphs to every part of the, body or to various parts of the body. They do not have to go to every part of the body, and they have opportunity to be brought in contact with all the features of the body: and as I have stated here in this definition, they have their selective action; they will combine with certain tissues, other tissues they will not combine with. They may add something foreign; and they may take something away; they may merely rearrange the structure of the living tissue. By either one of these means, they may harm the tissue. Then the body strives to get rid of these things by eliminating them and pouring them back into the intestines, and they may then be reabsorbed again, and may go around.

Q. Now, Doctor, in the testimony to which you have referred as having been given by you in the year 1900, before the senate committee of manufacturers, at a hearing in Washington, did you come to the conclusion as a result of your studies and experiments up to that time that the salts of aluminum are harmful in human food ?

A. That was my conclusion, Yes.

Q. And did you come to the further conclusion that alum baking powders were not healthful, and not wholesome when used in the preparation of human food?

A. I did.

The opinion above quoted is a description of a cancer-forming substance. The Doctor perfectly describes it as such but does not so define it. The reader can judge for himself.

The reader can, if desired, secure from scientists many statements similar to the above. Space forbids quoting more here.

The next statement of the Doctor's is to the effect that aluminum cooking utensils do not contaminate foods. A simple test can be made by any one, with any aluminum dish, which will prove that we ingest part of our aluminum cooking utensils in our foods every time the utensils are used for the purpose designated. The following test should be of sufficient interest to cause the reader to make it. If this is done, he will begin to think about his health and then to investigate for himself.

Aluminum dissolves readily from cooking dishes. To prove this, boil ordinary drinking water in an aluminum dish for half an hour and immediately pour this boiled water into a clear glass container. The aluminum compounds will be clearly visible to the naked eye. Examination of the aluminum dish after the experiment will not disclose any perceptible loss of metal therefrom; but it should be understood that the activity of the metal is such that you will see in the glass container about 1000 times as great volume of aluminum hydroxid as of the metal lost from the dish in which the water was boiled. It is in this form that the metal enters the body with food and is digested and taken by absorption directly into the blood circulation. In this form the metal could also be taken into the circulation by injection, if such form of medication were resorted to before major operations. In this form the metal is a catalyst. It acts upon all living tissue with which it comes in contact, itself remaining unchanged. The body strives to rid itself of such an element and to throw it into the intestines for elimination. A normally healthy body can thus dispose of much of such poison; but when one is subnormal and resorts to medication for bowel action, the aluminum poisons are apt to be reabsorbed into the blood and follow the circulation again. This may become a persistent or habitual operation, causing continual poisoning.

The metal which dissolves, as above stated, is either filth or ordinary “dirt”, if it is not a food substance, nor can it become a constituent part of the human economy. If cooking utensils ingest themselves in foods, or if they contaminate foods with poisonous effects, or if food values are damaged or destroyed by them, or if the color of foods shows adverse chemical changes during their use, or if various chemical poisons are formed by their use when employing seasoning agents, like salt, soda, etc., or if a poisonous gas (hydrogen) is formed by them which permeates the room in which they are used, then such utensils, in the writer’s opinion, are not fit to use for cooking purposes. All aluminum cooking utensils can be tested for the above Ways of food contamination, by any one, in his own home. The writer has made a great number of such tests, but space forbids relating them here.

The next statement is, that aluminum, when ingested, is non-poisonous to the human anatomy. The writer found that when he quit eating aluminum compounds from aluminum cooking utensils, he was no longer being poisoned. This led to extensive investigation, covering a period of about twelve years. In 1926 <£An Opinion Upon Aluminum” was published. This led to the discovery that practically all scientists the world over were familiar with the subject and with the poisonous effects of ingested aluminum upon the higher animals. The writer herewith presents the names of a few of America’s leading chemists and medical authorities who have also found by experimentation that aluminum compounds, when taken internally by man, are poisonous.

The above-named persons are a unit upon the question; and their statements, or most of them, are a matter of public record, and are available to every one. It is unusual that Dr. Goernandt is totally ignorant of this as well as of the statements made upon this question by scientists in Germany. Either the doctor is ignorant of all the preponderance of evidence against, aluminum compounds or he has grossly misstated the truth.

No Mere Opinion on Aluminum By Emmett Baxter

I HAVE no “mere opinion” on this aluminum proposition when it comes to high-pressure cookery. It injured my kidneys severely. When I cut it out there was quite an improvement in my condition in two or three days; and in about ten days the trouble completely disappeared, although I made no change whatever in my 'diet.

I have been very careful about what I have eaten for the past several years, and I have some close friends who are very careful, too. I was telling them about my experience with aluminum-ware cookery. One of them spoke up and said, “Listen here, boy; since you mention that, my wife and I and two children are having a whole lot of trouble with our kidneys and teeth. We did not have that trouble before we got to using aluminum ware, and I just have a sneaking idea that that is the cause of it, so I am going to stop my wife from using it; and I will let you know how we come out.” Sure enough, this gentleman came to me and told me that the trouble had ended, as they had cut out using aluminum ware, and that they would not have any more of this aluminum stuff in their house.

I would like to add that the people with whom I room sold aluminum ware for several years. I asked the gentleman of the house (he is a graduate of the University of Pennsylvania, and is no back number on the chemistry of metals either) what he thought, about this type of cooking utensil from a health standpoint. The first thing he said was: “No good! Bad on the teeth and kidneys. That is why I stopped selling it. We have over a hundred, dollars worth 'down in the basement right now, and if I had. to buy it again I would not give you a quarter for it, so far as my use is concerned.”

Straws in the Wind

'Gambling Abolished in Russia

THE Soviet government has published a de

cree forbidding gambling. This ought to put an end to the story that the Russian dictators are planning to buy a seat on the New York Stock Exchange, if any such story exists.

This Explains It

THE Right Reverend Ernest William Barnes,

Bishop of Birmingham, who has created such a stir in England by his advocacy of the theories of Darwin and his denunciation of the account of the creation of man as given in the Bible, was born on April 1. This explains it.

End of Suffrage in Italy

ITALIAN suffrage is at an end. Hereafter the deputies to parliament will be elected by the corporations and trades unions. The Italian people are still permitted to retain their own teeth and hair. The Fascisti seem to have taken about everything else that is takable.

THE Literary Digest tells us that there are ten thousand automobiles in Tunis, five hundred of which are autobusses which penetrate far into the Sahara desert. Civilization, in the form of automobiles, is penetrating to the remotest oases of the most inhospitable part of the globe.

Criminals are Sick

EXA.MI.NING- twenty-five persons in New York prisons who are there for life Dr.

Walter Timme found that twenty-four of them were ill, abnormal from a glandular standpoint. Does not this of itself show how much the world needs the Lord’s kingdom, the healing, of The Great Physician?

Miners Helped by Ultra-Violet Rays

A CAREFUL experiment made for three months with a squad of one hundred boys, fifty of whom were treated with rays from mercury vapor quartz lamps and the other fifty not so treated, disclosed that the boys treated with the rays put on twice as much weight and increased fifty percent more in height than those not so treated. As a result, all the miners at Sherwood Collieries, England, are being treated regularly with the rays.

'Charity by Compulsion

THE City of Toledo, Ohio, maintains forty charity organizations, having a budget for 1928 of $840,000. A worker writes us that in the factory where he is employed a day’s pay is exacted from every employe. Refusal to comply means loss of position. Strange charity!

Air Service to Persia

GERMAN and Russian air companies maintain a service between Berlin and Teheran, Persia, twice a week, via Riga, Moscow and Baku. The journey which takes fully two weeks by terra firma is covered in three days in the air.

Trans-Siberian Railway News

FOR the first time since 1914, passengers may now buy through tickets from Berlin to To-kio, Peking and Shanghai. The time required is eleven days from Berlin to Peking and twelve days to Shanghai. It is necessary to change cars at Moscow.

Poison Gas in Hamburg

SOMEBODY in Hamburg, Germany, let loose on May 21 a cloud of phosgen poison gas which killed eleven persons before it "was washed out of the atmosphere by showers. There is considerable excitement everywhere to know why this amount of poison gas was present in Hamburg. It was enroute to the United States.

Illegal Diversion of 108 Carloads of Alcohol

ILLEGAL diversion of 1.08 carloads of alcohol

is charged against thirty-eight Buffalo men. Five of the group were dry agents, one of them the former administrator of the prohibition work of the Buffalo area. These men are alleged to have paid out or received in bribes about $500,000.

In the State of Connecticut

IN THE state of Connecticut high schools and grade schools are using as a textbook a catechism on public utilities that was prepared by the publicity bureau of the Connecticut utilities. The catechism carefully avoids the fact that it costs less than one cent a kilowatt to manufacture electricity, though the housewives are paying ten cents a kilowatt for it. Talk about bandits!

Subway Fares in New York

THE Interborough is moving all creation to increase the subway fares in New York city from five cents to seven cents. Careful calculations show that at the five-cent fare the investors are obtaining at least 33% per annum on the cash they put in. It is the poor that will suffer if subway fares go up.

Bailiffs Must Be Human Beings

TWO bailiffs of Montreal are under trial for manslaughter. In midwinter they threw into the street a mother whose seven children were all sick with measles. One of the children died from the exposure. When the family was thrown out the bailiffs even threw away medicine which had just been purchased.

Jews in Mexico

FpiIE Reflex contains a series of interesting J- articles showing that most of the men who have been backing President Calles in his fight ' to free Mexico are of Jewish ancestry, children of the Maranos, the Spanish Jews who were forced to become Christians during the days of the Inquisition.

Lawful Assembly in New Jersey

THE Supreme Court of New Jersey has made the common-sense decision that the police of that state do not have the power to arbitrarily decide that a meeting of law-abiding people called to protest against their own illegal acts in closing the halls of strikers is an unlawful assembly. This is a great victory for the American people, and for the American Civil Liberties Union, which bore the brant of the fight for free speech and free assembly.

The Jadwin Flood Plan

Major General Jadwin, Chief of Engineers of the United States Army, has designed what seems like a wonderfully efficient plan for control of future floods in the Mississippi valley. In effect the plan provides for widening the present channel, and building new floodways through Arkansas and Louisana, so that there would be channel space to handle a flood 25 percent greater than the colossal one of last year. It is estimated that the job will cost $500,000,000 before it is finished. It carries an initial appropriation from congress of $325,000,000. '

Holland Tunnel a Great Success .

THE Holland tunnel under the Hudson is a great success. It cut off about thirty percent from the ferry traffic, thus reducing marine accidents and delays. It is building up 'Jersey City and the Meadows. The management and operation of the tunnel is as nearly perfect as anything of human construction could hope to be.

Nobile’s Airship in Trouble

Nobile made a fine start for polar exploration in his airship, the Italia, but was handicapped by the Pope’s blessing, which seems always to work the opposite way from that intended. After dropping the Pope’s wooden cross on the North Pole the airship straightway .got into trouble and at this writing only Nobile himself has been rescued. No doubt most of his brave comrades have been lost.

Insult a Master Organizer

NO ONE can deny that Samuel Insull, discount’ of Chicago and ‘first lord’ of the state of Illinois, is a master organizer. His committee on education has made a survey of all the colleges and universities and textbooks and is correcting the latter to suit the ideas of Big Business. “Pin the bolshevik idea upon any senator who favors public ownership” is one of the maxims of this crowd that is rapidly getting Uncle Sam by his neck and choking off his wind. And 3,400 speakers and editors are ready at a moment to do anything Insull suggests.

Chile Dumps the Priests

THE government of Chile has dumped all the priests overboard. No longer can they feed at the public trough in any capacity. Not only has all obligatory religious instruction been discontinued throughout the public schools of the country, but the priests have been dismissed from all government positions, including that of chaplains of the army.

These efforts of the Chilean people to reach out for honesty and liberty have of course been accompanied by the usual yawping of "Persecution ! persecution 1” by those who have hitherto been their oppressors, and who even now, like the “Old Man of the Sea”, have their legs firmly entwined about the necks of those who are trying to find out what is wrong.

A 350-Ton Shovel

THE largest shovels in the Mesaba iron country of Minnesota weigh 350 tons and handle from eight to nine cubic yards of earth and ore at a time. This shovel does the work of five hundred men. Just now, in America, we are all wondering what is going to become of the 499 men who can not get jobs operating the shovel.

Twelve Million Radio Sets in Use

A SURVEY made on January 1 shows that at that time there were in use in the United States seven and one-half million standard radio receiving sets and enough more crystal sets to bring the total up to twelve million sets. Allowing five persons to the family, this makes a radio audience of one-half the people of the United States.

Car with Back Seat Reversed

A BRITISH inventor has designed a new car, with the back seat facing the rear. This seems like a good idea. Passengers can not do any back-seat driving, they are spared worries about the road ahead, they can get a better view of the scenery, and they are not blinded by the lights of other cars rushing toward them at night. Hurrah for the reversed seat!

Panama Canal Improvements

THE supply of water for the operation of the Panama canal will be increased and regulated by the construction of a dam two hundred feet high in the valley of the Chagres River, some fourteen miles from the canal. The erection of this dam will make it possible to pass sixty to seventy ships a day through the canal. The daily average for the past ten months was eighteen.

Massacre of Masons at Verona

John Bond, Roman correspondent of the Fellowship Forum, declares that in the city of

Verona, when the Fascist destruction of the Masonic order was at its height a score of Masons were lured to the fifth floor of an office building’ and one by one thrown out of the windows. When they clung to a brass rail near the bottom of the window their hands were chopped until they were forced to let go. Not a man of the group escaped alive.

New Rock Drills Destroy Life

THE new form of rock drills, now used in place of the old type in which the dust was kept down by the use of water, are found to be destructive of human life. Thomas J. Curtis, president of the Tunnel and Subway Constructor’s Union, and general manager of the Building and Allied Trades Compensation Bureau, declares that there are seventy-five men now working on excavations in New York who have not more than five years to live as a result of using the new form of rock drills.

Seeking Jesuit Gold in Bolivia

A GROUP of British explorers, equipped with two hundred tons of paraphernalia, is now in Bolivia seeking to regain sixty million dollars of gold buried by the Jesuits one hundred fifty years ago. The mining of this gold was ’done by the forced labor of natives, w'ho were poisoned when it was finished. Maps and descriptions of the location of the cache have been found, which have been proved reliable. The entrance to the poison chamber in which the gold is concealed was found as illustrated on the charts. Gas masks will be used while bringing the treasures to the light.

Sherwood Eddy’s Opinion of Russia

Shebwood Eddy, world-famous traveler, publicist, and lecturer to religious associations of all sorts, has made the following bold statement about Russia; and it must give Big Business the chills and fever to read it, as it is just what they do not wish to believe.

The present Soviet government has come to stay. With all its faults it seems on the whole much better than the former hideous Czarist regime. Although its downfall has been eagerly predicted for the last nine years, it was never so strong as it is today. Whatever its faults there is no other party or government in sight that could govern Russia and maintain law and order. Few of the people want to go back to the slavery of the Czars or the nerveless rule of Kerensky. We found no government in Europe more stable or strongly entrenched. No other has made so many changes and adaptations in the last nine years; none has been more willing to confess its many mistakes and learn from them. Its army has been reduced to one-tenth the size of six years ago, from 5,300,000 in 1920 to 550,000 today. Judging both by the expenditure and the size of the army in proportion to population, which is lower than the surrounding nations, the actual policy of the government at home seems to make for peace.

Pennsylvania Public Utilities

More Perjury in Washington

electric power. A fraction of a cent a kilowatt is all it costs, yet the householders must pay as high as ten cents. It is no wonder, then, that the Pennsylvania public utilities maintain a close surveillance over the textbooks, schools and colleges of that state. Textbooks are rewritten so as to be unobjectionable to these great corporations, lobbies are maintained, and largess, where needed, is distributed freely.

What the Jurors Did Not Know

THE Sinclair jurors did not know that Albert

B. Fall had denied that he ever received one cent from Sinclair, did not know that he actually did receive $198,000 in Liberty bonds in a private car in a railroad yard, $10,000 in cash on one occasion and $25,000 cash on another. They did not know that the Supreme Court had condemned Fall as a faithless public officer. They did not know of the famous smoke-filled room in a Chicago hotel at 2 a.m. where the whole thing was fixed up years ago, and they seemed incapable of understanding the things that were explained to them. The only thing reasonably clear in the public mind is that none of them ’will ever have to work any more, though some people may even be too stupid to know that.

Flaggs Versus Pullmans

ANEW YORK architect named Flagg has invented a new type of sleeping-car to take the place of Pullmans. Its distinguishing features are side-passages, and permanent beds in two stories, so arranged that the upper compartments have outside light and air, and are reached by permanent stairways located between the lower compartments. The lower compartments have all conveniences and are complete in themselves. Tenants of the upper compartments have a sitting-room at the end of the car but can retire to their own berths for rest at any time they desire. In a standard-sized Pullman sixteen berths are possible under the new plan of utilizing all the head-room hitherto-largely wasted. It may be possible that Flagg sleepers will ■ displace Pullmans, because they seem to provide greater privacy, comfort and convenience. Canadian roads will give the new car a tryout.

of Indiana, testified on April 24 that he received. $750,000 of those Liberty bonds similar to the ones that Sinclair gave to Fall, yet only six months ago he testified to the same committee that he knew nothing about these bonds and had nothing to do with them. If you stub your toe in Washington today and fall into any prosperous-looking pious business man or politician it is a nearly safe bet that ho is a perjurer and makes millions by it.

A Most Terrible Headline

UNDER one of the most -terrible headlines we have ever seen, namely, that “Christ Was the Founder of Big Business”, we quote from the New York Times a paragraph covering an address by the Rev. John Bernard Kelley that sets forth one of the most blasphemous statements we have ever seen in print:

Disputing the idea that the modern world was materialistic and the product of the mind of man, Father Kelley said the achievements of civilization were expressions of the divinity of God. He said God was the wealthiest big business man of all time, since His possession of the universe is acknowledged by millions of Christians. Christ predicted the ultimate goal of Christianity when He said that “'all would be one", Father Kelly declared, adding that the development of industry was accomplishing the universality that the Catholic church had always sponsored.

Astor’s Millions May Vanish

DOCUMENTS recently discovered seem to show conclusively that two-thirds of the

Astor millions belong of right to the heirs of John Nicholas Emerick. He it was who took Astor in when- he was a poor boy, taught him the fur business, and made him a partner, with the understanding and agreement that two-thirds should go to the Emerick heirs and one-third to the Astor heirs. Suits have been filed which indicate that Astor not only was careful to take the third which belonged to him but helped himself to the two-thirds that belonged to the other man and that that is the true explanation of the present vast wealth of the Astor* estate. Existence of the Emerick trust fund was admitted by one of the Astor lawyers some forty years ago. Nine hundred heirs are suing for their just rights. Anybody who thinks they will get them, please raise the hand.

Three Thousand Acres of Rubber

THREE thousand, acres of bitumen has been discovered in Utah, most of it underlying the Great Salt Lake, which gives promise of being of great value. It is said that when this bitumen is mixed with old rubber it makes better automobile tires than any reclaimed tire on the market. The bitumen can be obtained only . in warm weather, but live steam will be used to make it workable the year around.

Daggers Between Teeth and Bombs in Hands

IN AN address to a Fascist assemblage in

February, the Lantern tells us that Mussolini said to the assembly: “Let us have a dagger between our teeth, bombs in our hands and infinite scorn of danger in our hearts.” Jugoslav papers think that the bomb which recently killed sixteen innocent 'people in Milan and was evidently intended to kill the King of Italy was set at Mussolini’s direction. Mussolini would be a bad man to have for an enemy, and if he and the Pope are really at loggerheads it does not look so w,ell for the Pope.

Why the People Do Not Vote

EDITORIALLY Commerce and Finance says:

“The two dominant parties have little beyond their names to distinguish them, a condition conducive to general apathy. Politicians are awake to the necessity of spending large sums to awaken public interest in campaigns and get out the vote, but no one is ready to contribute these large sums except those with a pecuniary interest in the election and who regard these contributions as investments. It is a mournful fact that the public seems not even aware of its economic illiteracy, and no one, unless made of martyr stuff, has any motive in trying to correct this condition.”

League of Nations a Failure

THE New Republic says of the League of

Nations: “Looking back over the history of the past eight years, we see that never for a moment have the leading diplomats of Europe exhibited any real confidence in the machinery of the League, or relied upon it in a major crisis. It is true that some highly important settlements have taken place at Geneva; but they have been consummated by two or three of the ministers of the chief powers, behind the closed door of a hotel bedroom. The diplomacy of Europe is still in the hands of the statesmen of the old school. Since 1914, most of them have learned and forgotten nothing.”

Scranton Gas and Water Company

rpiIE Scranton Gas and Water Company first -L fastened a 75c monthly service charge on their gas patrons. Then they sold out to a bunch of New York millionaires whose first introduction to the 125,000 customers on their books was an $8 a year service charge for the water. Total sendee charges per customer, $17 a year; annual increase $2,155,000, or the interest at 6% on $35,091,667.

Hugging Bees in Georgia

HDUE Dahlonega (Ga.) Nugget is authority for the statement that a church near Springfield paid off its debt with a hugging social. Eight hundred persons of all sorts attended. The men paid for two-minute hugs, 15c for girls under fifteen years of age, 25c for girls between fifteen and twenty years of age, and 50c for girls between twenty and twenty-five years of age.

It seems hardly credible that such a thing could have been done, even in Georgia, in the name of Christ, and supposedly to raise money for Him. How anybody could imagine that God Almighty or Jesus Christ His Son could be otherwise than dishonored by such a scandalous performance would be a puzzle to anybody except the preacher who wanted money in the till.

A One-Sided Bargain in Taxes

By C. O. Shoemaker

TTERE in The Dalles, in a man’s yard, is a sign which he put up on account of increased taxes:

TAXES! on this little home are $166.37 per year, $13.86 per month. Tenants and renters do not buy real estate in The Dalles. It does not pay to own a home in this city. Wm. H. McNeal, Owner.

As I interviewed him this morning he said that the State Tax Commissioner agreed to boost the taxes on the railroads if the assessor here would boost local taxes. The local boost was $2,000,000; the railroad boost was $1,000,000. But when it came time to collect, the railroads said No; so the people paid, but the railroads did not.

A Story of Creation By a wee miss of uncertain age

DEAR Dad: I read a story last night and it was about the Creation. At first it was all 'dark in the world and God was all alone, so lie ’decided to create man. Then the days were 7,000 years long. He took six days to get ready for the creation. ■

At first there were great rings around the earth, then one of them fell and there was water in it, and it filled the earth with water; and there was another one that fell and it was full of minerals and they went deep in the ground. Then God created man and his name was Adam, and Adam named all the animals and birds and insects. And God blew in Adam’s nostrils the breath of life and Adam became a living soul.

Then the animals were growing more arid he would talk to the animals, but of course the animals couldn’t talk to him, but Adam was lonesome, so God gave Adam a wife named Eve, and they lived in the garden of Eden, and they had everything to eat, but they couldn’t eat of this one tree. And Adam loved the Lord but he disobeyed God, so God told them they disobeyed Him and they must die, and that’s why his children are dying, too, and if Adam hadn’t disobeyed he would be living yet.

And God so loved them (the world), that His Son died in the place of them; and have you ever heard: Rover when he died, he died all over? Some people think they go in the lake of fire, but they don’t; they go to the grave.

Disasters Follow Pope’s and Priests’ Blessings By.P. G. Gloystein

IT IS quite certain that there will not be a rush of aviators to Rome to receive the Pope’s blessing. De Pinedo, after being blessed by Mr. Ratti, fell with his plane into the sea off the Azores; previously his plane was destroyed by fire in Arizona, on the American leg of his ’round the world flight. That Chas. Levine sensed a similar or worse fate seems to be evidenced by the fact that after Mr. Ratti blessed him he returned to the United States by vessel rather than attempt a return transatlantic hop.

Also it seems that aviators who allow Roman Catholic dignitaries to sprinkle their planes with holy water are virtually signing their own or some one else’s death warrant. Five minutes after a priest had mumbled over the giant Sikorsky and had sprinkled holy water upon it, the plane crashed and burst into flames, burning to death two of its crew.

The next plane to be sprinkled with holy water, if we remember rightly, was The Golden Eagle, the plane of William Randolph Hearst’s son. It and its crew perished in the Oakland-Hawaii Dole race.

The next plane to take the holy-w’ater route to destruction was William Randolph Hearst’s plane, Old Glory. It was given a double dose of holy water. The first one, given it a number of ’days before its takeoff at Mitchell Field, L. I., was considered too stale; so a second dose was given it just a few moments before its attempted transatlantic flight at Old Orchard, Maine. The second sprinkling took.

Old Glory carried letters intended for Mussolini and the Pope. These in addition to the holy water were enough to overload any plane. Included with Bishop Cantwell’s letter to the Pope was a check for $1000 from the people of the bishop’s diocese (Los Angeles). Perhaps the reason why it was for so little is because one of the big pay members, one Mr. E. L. Doheny, met with a considerable reverse at the-.hands of the United States government: not only was his fraudulent Elk Hills (Nevada) oil lease terminated, but millions of dollars* worth of improvements were confiscated.

Only one thing on Old Glory reached its destination, a wreath which was to have been dropped into the Atlantic in memoriam to two daring Frenchmen who lost their lives in a transatlantic attempt. On it were inscribed the words: “To Nungesser and Coli: ¥ou showed the way. We follow.”

These words contain truth and irony not hoped for. Bertaud, Hill and Payne did not follow Nungesser and Coli into glory. Al! five arc asleep in the deep awaiting the resurrection. But Roman Catholics believe they went to purgatory, where their stay would be of long dura-, tion except for interventions secured by means of costly masses.

The sprinkling of holy water on St. Raphael

doomed its passenger and crew to soon land in purgatory. Owing to the standing and wealth of the passenger and owner of the plane, the Princess Lowenstein-Wertheim, a quite dramatic scene took place at the airdrome before the start was made. The Boman Catholic archbishop of Cardiff held services beneath the yellow wings of the plane, while scores of officers of the Royal Air Forces stood about with bared heads.

As the engine started to roar, the archbishop, accompanied by two Catholic priests, sprinkled holy water over the machine. “God bless you,” he is reported to have said. “May you have a safe journey. We shall not forget to pray for you.” Before entering the machine, the princess kneeled before the archbishop and received a final blessing.

The princess was born Lady Anne Savile, and is a member of a British family dating back to' the time of Richard II. She married H. S. H. Prince Ludwig Karl Zu Lowenstein-Wertheim-Frandenburg, a member of the German nobility. It is quite certain that a good sum of money will have passed into the coffers of the church as a result of sending her to purgatory.
