The reformations will be very largely increased, too; because there will be a chance to pay at least a small wage to every worker, and a larger wage to tiose having more dependents on the outside. This is the Minnesota system, in the Stillwater prison, where the refocmations run the highest in the world for prisons of its class. ' It will be the Oregon system; the course is all charted, under a law passed last winter. The point of absolute self support will be reached, or in plain sight, when the first spinning machine for flax fiber and tow and hemp fiber is in operation. This should be accomplished some time next year; probably early in 1925. 1 ; From news and political standpoints, there are a; lot pf interesting things happening at the penitentiary but the most interesting thing that is happening there, to the tax payers, is the working out of the constructive campaign that will make the institution self supporting.! The revolving fund is piling up every day. It will be at least $250,000 at this time next year. Even with provision for a spinning ma chine, there may be that much surplus cash available a year hence. In that event, the; next legislature will find thje institution absolutely self supporting taken from the backs f ih hiirrlened taxrAvers for all time. With reasonable luck, the legislature at its next so far along that only a very for maintenance will be necessary.

SAVING THE- SABBATH For a year the t people of Lon don have been playing all manner of public games in their parks on Sunday. Criket, tennis, football and dozens of other outdoor sports have had a Sabbath indul gence in full freedom. Regular Sunday schedules of many games have been played. This liberty was enjoyed largely tbrough the campaigning of the Fellowship of Freedom and Reform and ; the London county council provided for a year's trial. Now the year is up and there is a. pronounced counter-movement on' the part of those who want a peaceful Sab bath and a day of genuine rest. The United Council for Sunday Protection has gone into action and the London officials are be ing urged from many quarters to once more close the gates of the parks against Sunday sport's. There, is a controversy.' however, and the concession will not be re voked without a few bitter words. THE DRIFT OF MODERN ' JAPAN . Long-distance observers , have sometimes dubbed Japan the Ger many of the I Orient, f The com parison at best was superficial. In mportant particulars it was er roneous. ' Modern Japanese senti ment' is far removed from the mil itarism of imperial Prussia. . How far removed an impartial critic may judge from what hap pened in Toklo last May. The Japanese association for the Stu dy of Military Science attempted to hold its inaugural session In the auditorium of the ' Waseda university, but the hostility of the students entirely disrupted the proceedings. i On the platform were the dean of the university, the vice minis ter of war, the commanding gen eral of the Tokio department and other military authorities. 1 The students yelled at the war minis ter that his decorations dripped blood. They drowned the voices of . the . speakers by shouting, "Down with the militarists !" and singing pacific choruses. ' i The meeting closed in the ut most' confusion. ; Thereupon the students called a convention of their own and passed resolutions favoring universal peace. 1 In any country student opinion is a good barometer j for ganging how popular winds are. blowing. In military Prussia the universi ties were , the forcing frames of Imperialism. - Were Japan today taking its pattern from prewar Germany the Waseda students would have cheered the militar ists and booted the pacifiers. Even in America, where our peace sentiments are generally conceded, no university would have staged so violent a demon stration against war as that wit nesstd in Tokio, Japan, so often heedlessly ' accused of being the firebrand of Asia. Commenting on the disturbance the Tokio papers emphasize the changed sentiment In i Japan and the "alarming new ideas of the rising generation." Young Japan seeks a peaceful way out :a no tion no doubt alarming to the old er Japanese Statesmen. All Che same, what young Japan thinks today the nation will be doing to day and tomorrow. Another! thing noted in Tokio, since the breaking up of the mil itarist meeting, is that soldiers are no longtr popnlar among the Japanese. These signs and por tents are never in evidence when a nation is expecting or prepar ing for. war. They emphasize the difference, not: the resemblance, between Germany of yesterday and modern Japan. - . REWRITING THE BIBLE Readers of the Scriptures will receive with mixed feeling the re port that a 'man trained In mod ern newspaper work is engaged on the ambitious task of rewriting the Bible. When .the work is complete we shall have a modern version of the old book, robbed of Its archaic form of expression and rendered more in keeping with modern Journalese. Forty-two yars ago the old King James edition of the Bible was revised by a coterie of schol ars and churchmen and the re sult of Iheir earnest, labors has been generally accepted by minis try and their congregations wher ever the English language Is spoken. There was no attempt to change the form, or expression that has made the Bible not only the' best-loved pf books, by both the erudite and the simple, but also the noblest example of per fect literature the world has ever V At .worst, 'word r tnat wtre ob- viously out of date or had lost heir original meaning tin: the courae of time were replaced with words or expressions that today more accurately translated the original Greek and Hebrew. The men who revised the Testament in 1881 never presumed to re write its divine message or tell the story in the style of the mod ern paragrapher. . Even with the slight changes thus effected, there are thousands of devout worshipers and schol ars and poets who will still pre fer the King James edition to some there is an indescribable es sence, an elusive spirit in the phrasing of the old Elizabethan version that can never be modern ized without being lost. How will the American people accept a new book, told in the vernacular, made as easy to read as a reporter's story of today's street happenings, in lieu of the old Bible of religion; poetry and tradition? Because, of course, there is no such thing as rewriting the Bible. Mr. Hendrik Van Loon may produce something different and many will be curious to dis cover how different it will be. It may be a text-book, if may be a travesty; to many people It won't be the Bible. Yet his work may be valuable in bringing home to the hearts of religious Americans what an un changeable treasure was handed down to them in the old Bible of their forefathers If there should be many who cared to compare the Van Loon interpretation with either the King James or the re- I (FUTURE DATES : m July 29, Sunday Union church service.

How to Make a Monogram ;i Stamp To make a monogram stamp ts as much fun as to; use it. The person who likes to whittle, whe ther ijboy or girl, will enjoy ex perimenting with ' his owta and other people's initials. Take a spool with a smooth top, mark around it on a piece cf paper, apd then draw the letter of your name in the circle, using double lines. Let the outside ed&e of the spool form the outer rim of your letter, which must, of course, be made in a rounded style, as in the stamps at the bot tom of the page. This you must not forget: The letter to put on the spool must be drawn backwards, for when it prints, the result faces the op posite "direction. Color the traced initial 'solidly with , your pencil, then with a sharp knife whittle out the white spaces around ' the initial deep enough so that the initial stands out n bold, even relief on the spool.! Spread thick water color paint green, blue, or brown, or the black Ink from your bottle in tte initial and rest tbe stamp for a moment in the corner; of your sheet' of letter-paper or on the envelope back and you will have printed an artistic ! monogram. THE SHORT STORY. JR. : THE 1VIIARP RAT The wharf rat was bunting a meal He looked to see what he could steal;. As his temper grew worse He captured a purse. And . thus foiled a bad hold-up deaL , V ' . - ; ' The wharf rat was a thief and a murderer, the worst old villain around the docks. He hadn't a friend in the world. All the oth er rats knew better than to be friends with him. He was J'tst as likely as not to plunder his best friend's home, steal all bis food, and push him into the gu'f to drown. , That was the kind of a villain the Wharf Rat was.. It wasa flneday. The Wharf Rat sauntered along the wharf wondering what villainy he could think up to do next'. Far out at sea he noticed a. little Bpcck against tht horizon. Immedi ately there was a great commo tion around the wharf. The old Vised version. And then there is always a comforting thought about all such ' radical Innova tions there Is no way of forcing them on old-fashioned folk who have no taste for ' them. . And when their religion Is touched the most progressive citizens are apt to prove adamantly conservative. . The Bible is In any case great er than the language it Is told in. Only the most carefully selected words and the' most majestic dic tion can Interpret to humanity thoughts inspired by influence beyond the reac'ii of the most zealous students and. devoted ar cbeologlsts. ' WEAKER SEX! HUH! , It has been a popular pastime In learned gatherings to severely criticize the modern system of education of women. -" According to recent remarks made by digni taries of the financial and legal worlds, the training given to girls today quite , robs them of their feminine heritage, without con ferring any genuine benefits In its place. One learns that, woman approached the Ideal along about the Victorian era, and she has been' steadily slipping ever since. Presumably, she has hit the bot tom now with a . crash. One vast improvement that edu cation has made In the female of the species, for which , we should mil offer up a prayer of thankful ness, has been quite overlooked by the self appointed critics. Ths Is the inculcating In them of a spirit of dislike ..for ' physical weakness and admiration of health and strength, so that they no longer revel in the enumeration of their fatal ills. - In the days of our grandmoth ers no one was a "real lady who bad not acquired a fine assortment of illness during the course of a lifetime, and a visit of the doctor was' a mark of distinction. Fem inine gatherings were enlivened by disquisitions on the part of the sufferers of every malady under the sun, and there was no incen tive to overcome them when they made the victim 'so popular as a raconteur.:"; -But modern education has pro mulgated the doctrine of a sound body in a sound mind, and those who are stricken exert themselves to overcome it.

He gnawed holes in all the sugar sacks, chewed up all the papers, he could find, and scared the Captain's parrot half to death by trying to get In her cage. The Wharf Rat was feeling unusually good today and whenever he felt unusually good he always did something, unusu ally bad. He racked bis brains but could think of nothinr bail enough to suit him. "If I could only chew a hole in the side of the ship and sink thr whole thing." he thought, "that would cause a little excitement. " But it was no use trying.
