Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to
any people. Proverbs 14 : 34.
OVERALLS IN CHURCH
When a little Methodist church at Trion, Georgia, voted to
adopt an official garb of overalls and printed cotton dresses
for its Sunday services hereafter, it took b. ,very gracious
and exceedingly' literal interpretation o'f the Golden Rule.
There are many poor people in , the church. Probably most
of them would like to attend the services in fine clothes it's
a perfectly huriian desire, but a lot of the people in this
.Georgia church had to wear overalls or cotton dresses
because .they possessed no other clothes.
' Arid the congregation, .in voting to make these garments
the regular thing for Sunday morning wear, m,ust have had
Jn mind that passage from tho Bible in which going into the
presence of God in shining raiment is mentioned; for that
passage, of coursej refers to things of the spirit, not of the
flesh, and overalls and cotton dresses can qualify very easily.
The step makes one feel'.tliiijt .these people in this small
town church must be both friendly and evel-headed. yhoy
are going to have, in their not overly prosperous church, 'a
sense of fellowship and good understanding that many a
cathedral, with stained-glass windows, rhythmic cadences of
organ, and choral music and nymy candles has sought and
never found. ' !
The story of the widow ind her mite has always been one
of the best-loved stories in the New Testament Something
of that spirit seems to have prompted this action about the
overalls and print dresses. And it may be that the li,tUe
southern church, where the men wear blue denim 'and the
women wear their third-best gowns, just because they don't
want the poorer members to feel badly, will live longer in
the moratory than some churches that are wonders of ma
sonry and architecture.
: For the world, calloused though it sometimes seems, has
a habit of appreciating sincerity 'and humility. -
are the pneumonia germs discovered
in 1888 by Fraenkel and. Wclcnscl
baum; '
" Tbcso germs, though belonging
to one large class and having cer
tain common, characteristics, differ
In variety.
Pneumonia germs aro classified In
to four different groups; the first
three groups each have fairly definite
characteristics while . . the " fourth
group contains a large, and as yet
Incompletely classified, collection of
pneumonia germs.
LIVING MORE INTENSELY
The tempo of American life rises and the nervous tension
of the American people tightens with the increasing velocity
of production, business and living. Modern' devices to hurry
up the body, intensify the emotions and accelerate the mind
have come, into general use. Business works a network of
telephone and telegraph wires. Automatic bookkeeping ma
chines, typewriters and card indexes enable individuals to
control .vast areas of industrial operation, involving billions
of dollars. Even in the homo and on the farm, electrifica
tion and the gasoline motor have quickened the pace.
. Emotionally the nation is ever under high pressure. The
motion picture compresses into two hours the whole range
pf human adventure and excitement for thousands. The
radio is concentrating millions on one thought and at one
time. Huge stadiums throughout the country gather witli
ease and safety crowds numbered in hundreds of thousands,
permitting them to enjoy the magnetic thrill of concentrated
mass emotion.
AU this speed and size is an accepted part of the atmos
phere of the American city. It causes people unconsciously
to quicken their pace and to feel themselves part of a huge
confederation of success. Is itany wonder that "high-voltage"
temperaments are becoming so common?
TIME TO SPEND
: If people who are in a reasonably secure situation eco
nomically would quit being scared and would use their money
sensibly, and in accordance with their needs and resources
as they have in other years, they would be a biff help to the
country in its effort to "snap out" of the doldrums. If you
have the money, go out and "spend a dollar" for some thing
you need and help industry to get off the dead center and
start steaming along again on the road to prosperity. Then
go out and repeat the process as your pocketbook' permits.

MM'EMOXf A
'sir William Oslor. who died of
pneumonia In 1D20, wrote of this
disease In his famous text uoolc on
medicine to the effect that It may
be called "the friend of the aged."
For "taken off by It In an acute,
sharp, not often painful Illness the
old escape those cold gradations of
decay that mako the last stage of alt
no distressing."
- In a less cheerful vein he goes on
to describe Uie condition as "one of
the most widespread and fatal of all
acute diseases."

captain of the men of death, dls-
plachiK tuberculosis.

Meacham, Ore.
' The Blue Mountain Skt club was
organized at Meacham at a meeting
held Wednesday evening, and hence
forth tho club will have charge of
tho ski trail and toboggan slides at
tho top of the Blue mountains. This
waa the word brought to La Grande

Mr. Synhorst.
Henry Cos tell was elected head of
the club and It was also announced
that free parking space would bo
available for visiting cars at the
state highway patrol 'station, also
along tho highway near the store.
The plan Is to operate tho ski
trail and toboggan slldo regularly
during the remainder of' the winter,
with tho sport open to the public
without charge, providing visitors
bring their own skis and sleds. Two
men will be on duty each Sunday
for the sole purposo of keeping the
trail cleor and there also will be a
man to supervise tho children. Trails
will bo shoveled from tho highway to
tho ski trail, which Is located across
tho railroad track from tho Oregon
Trail store, Mrs. John Cleaver has
been assigned tho duty of caring
for tho wants of tho women.
Tho ski trail was built lost sum
mer by donation work and the land
was contributed by Alfred Smith. It
hoc been very popular this winter,
but because of lack of organized
workers to keep it in condition, had
not reached as popular a peak as
had been expected.

that a crisis might bo reached there,
this country began to sound out the
attitude of Great Britain.
While the. English were considering
their answer, the clash In Shanghai
occurred and this probably played a
great part In hastening their decision.
Tho British government, reports
from London Btate, has asked the
Japanese government to take no ac
tion Inside the international settle

sultation with the other governments
concerned.
The American government prepared
to follow Great Britain in a formal
Insistence that Japan take no action
