Lady, where did you observe all this? Where did you get your facts? Have you seen Henry Ford walking in Detroit's streets, clad in one of the new velvet ensembles, with flesh colored 4iose? Have you been down in Wall Street, or drop ped into the Chicago Board of Trade to watch the mentally lazy fellows there sitting around waiting to be fooled by some smart girl?

This sounds IS GENIUS America is full of starving geniuses who are inarticu late because they are afraid of hardness and loneliness, we have it on the word of a well known New York" pastor, ReV. Dr. Robert Norwood. Among the geniuses with whoso his tory we are familiar, there are few, if any, to whom Dr. Nor wood's description seems to properly apply. Certainly we have seen Genius starve, but never silently. As a rule . Genius starves because he is Genius and because he speaks a strange tongue and bears a banner with a strange device that none can understand. The prospect of hardness and loneliness does not daunt Genius, as we have found him. In fact, he loves it like a fern loves water. Genius can look upon the rest of us earth-bugs and understand. That's why ' there is no loneliness or hardness for your 100 per cent able bodied Genius, first class. If ho starves, he likes it all the better. Men have painted great pictures though starvation . and insanity were their only rewards. They have written great poetry, and their compensation has been disease which sapped their lives. Great statesmen have spoken against all precedent and have been and it proved the truth. . Genius docsn t need to be hunted up and feted. It fetes itself, By nature. o A THOUGHT ABOUT FRATERNITIES Fraternities at Yalo are "a destructive influence," ac cording to the Yale News official student publication. "If one questions the truth of that sociological theory which makes pride one of man's fundamental motives, he need only analyze the Yale fraternity system," the article says; "for, although the by-products of fraternity life are of consider able value, it must be admitted that elections are very largely determined by the reputation of the fraternity and the indi vidual. Each house seeks to gather into the fold those mon whose names will increase or maintain the fame already won. And each candidate for election desires to associate with those men whoso positions in college will bring the maximum reflection of glory upon him. One cannot fail to admit the destructive influences resulting from this worship of the great good 'prominence." Wo don't have to go to Yale to learn a lesson like that. Life holds it, too. Towns don't "just grow" any more; they must be care fully planned. They must rise in orderly fashion, not sprawled over as many miles as they can be spread, but ii a concise, compact way. Dallas, Texas, is an example of the modern growing city. After two years of investigation, a special committee rejwrtcd on a gonmil improvement plan. Additional school buildings, street openings and widening-', extensive paving, more parks and boulevards, sower exten sions, better fire protection and garbage disposal, a fine ar.U institute building, n municipal auditorium, n municipal air port, hospital additions, water plant extensions all these were recommended for bond issues totalling $2:1,900,000. Dallas is one of the many cities adjusting themselves to growth under the twin problem of growing traffic.and tho need for more beauty and order in American architecture. Cities simply must do it now to get along. . . o The story of the o'2-year-old Hollywood man who was killed in an accident caused by his attempt (() kiss the hfdy . driver is just one more proof that driving should be done in the back seat. o . rerluips President Coolidge actually derived a thrill from having all the transoceanic fliers in to lunch, but it's a 'good bet that the idea was Mrs. Coolidge's. . j o .- ' If a presidential boom could only sweep the country like . a new jazz dance the problem of some politicians would bej considerably simplified.

STARTING MONDAY SEPARATE STATE New Department Would Shift Much of Burden From Three High est Officials. (AHtoclatrd Pre Lroaetl Wire) SALEM, Ore., Nov. 26. Forma tion of a state board of control, to be a separate state department, which would shoulder much of the official burden that now falls upon the governor, the secretary of state and the stale treasurer, may be proposed as legislation at the 1929 legislative session. For many years the three high est stale officials, above nameu. have composed (lie state,board of control. And as such their duties are legion in addition to the du ties that fall within the province or meir respective orrtces. No member of the board Is yet willing to say. publicly that he favors a separate state board, which womd mean the creation or a new department composed prob ably of three members. The idea, however, has been advanced by at least one member of the present triumvirate who cites the fact that many other states, including some on the Pacific coast, have boards of control - as separate depart ments, - Under tho present governmental organization in Oregon the gover nor, the secretary of state and the stato treasurer are members of nearly a score of boards and com missions. Under their jurisdiction are the dozen, state Institutions. In addition they comprise the state reclamation commission, the banking board, tho printing board, the land board, the tax commis sion, and several other boards. They are the central purcnasing agency of the statu. The governor and the secretary of tato are members f the boards of regents of tho stale university, the state college and the normal schools, Because the business of the stale government is constantly in creasing tiie duties that fall IntZ vlduully upon Lho governor, tho, secretary and the treasurer are In creasing. -so that the officials are finding it harder each year to di vide their attention between their own officers and the numerous boards and commissions.

E. GILROY, D. D. " Editor of The Congregationailst That M Icah's- explicit and pra found definition of religion, as do ing justly, loving kindness, and walking humbly with God, was not an isolated instance of real and vital religious experience and out look, in un age and religious en vironment Uiat attached much 'im portance to ritual and sacrifice, is evident in this lesson, taken from the introduction to the prophecy of ; Isaiah. The book of Isaiah Is now com monly supposed by Biblical schol ais to be the work of at least two hands. The latter part of the book, from tho fortieth cha'pter on, is re garded as coming out uf the period following the F.xile to, Babylou. it deals manifestly with that phrase of Israels' life. The former part of the hook of Isaiah is regarded as dating from almost two hun dred years earlier. The writer of the earlier prophe sies associated with the namo of Isaiah, was practically . contem porary with Micah. So that when we set the teaching of this lesson side by side with that of the last lesson taken from Micah, we have strongly enforced the impression of that aK as ono of religious revival in Israel. Stressing Reality. The greatest revival and prog ress of religion have always come from a new emphasis upon reality. This means sometimes a going hack to un early experience or teaching that may havo become corrupted or neglected. Surely every miln who bus read the New Testament with intelligence and sincerity has often felt, as ho has read, the Impulse for a return to a keener and more practical follow ing of tho example and teaching of Jesus! ' Tho later religion of theology and form becomes quickened in such moods of exaltation in an Im pulse of deep allegiance to tho per sonal Christ. At other times this "revival comes through a going back, through form and ritual, to tho spiritual experiences uud meaniugn that form and ritual are Intended to express. It is so easy for ex periences that were vital to become merely formal, and most of us fol low religious custom without think ing out and following the realities for ourselves. . So It was that Micah challenged a religion ot formal offerings and sacrifices in which the heart itself was not concerned. Worship in good living, the surrender of the soul to Mod, Is depicted as the only sacrifice in which God has pleas ure. . The Drama of Isaiah, It is this leaching of Micah that were not the lowest bidder. Forbes contended he was a vic tim of circumstances and of Morti mer's personal animosity. Forbes was a drummer boy In the marine corps at the age of Yi. Mo served two years and then at the age of 22 enlisted in the signal corps. Me deserted, returned and was reinstated, was promoted to a sergeant in tho Philippines nnd re ceived an honorable discharge After his in my experience he engaged in the construction busi ness in thu Pacific northwest, go ing later to Hawaii where he rose to be commissioner of public works. There he first met Hardin-?, who as senator from Ohio was making a tour or the Islands. When the United States entered the World War, Forbes was com missioned rt major. Me served overseas, won n distinguished ser vice medal nnd was made a lieutenant-colonel. After tho war he went back to the construction buslners. After Harding's election ho appointed Forbes to the veter ans' bureau" post. mm WITNESSES TO BE CULLED IN MWT CASE! WASHINGTON.

"What unto me is the multitude of your sacri fices?" Considering the fact that animal sacrifices were still an ira- jportaut ritual fact of the religion i of Israel, it is almost impossible for us to grasp the full slgnifl : cau.ee of the revolutionary charac- ter of the words ot MJcah and i Isaiah.

May they not often represent, however, In pur own ago very much what Micah and Isaiah represented In th.eirs? : The words that Isaiah attributes to the Lord are tremendous aud sweeping in their quality. "Bring no more Vain oblations; incense is an abomination unto me; the new moons and sabbaths, the calling of assemblies, I cannot away with; It Is I llqulty, even the solemn meet ing. Your new moons and your ap pointed feasts my soul hateth; they are a trouble unto me; I am weary to hear them." j There Is only one way of life, aud Isaiah in the words that ho attributes to" God finds it with equal Insistance, "Wash you, make you clean; put away the evil of your doi ngs f rom before m ine eyes ; cease to do evil; learn to do well; seek justico, relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow." . i But this Is not all.
