THE CHRISTIAN Mi
Fortunate 1 In His Ancestry;
Great-Great Grandfather
Clergyman
The folowlng Interesting and
instructive sermon on "Washing
ton the Christian" was delivered
by Rev. N. K. Tully on Sunday
morning February 20 at the First
Presbyterian church:
"The history of George Wash
ington Is not always the account
of skillful maneuvers In the field
the conning strategy of the gen
eral; or lways-the story of start
ly movements in the cabinet the
secret diplomacy of the states
but is always the record of a man
true to himself, true to his coun
try, and true to his God. The
cherry tree incident is probably
apoeryphal but it accurately de
scribes the true George Washing
ton. .
"Washington was fortunate in
his ancestry. His great great
grandfather in England was a
clergyman. His great grandfath
er established the Parish, of Wash
ington In Virginia in 1657. and
was "a sincerely pious man." His
grandfather was a churchman and
also highly religious. His father
became, a church officer when
George was three years old, and
was always active In parish af
fairs. The Ball family from which
George's mother came was also
foremost in promoting all good
things. His great grandmother
in this line gave a communion set
to his church, an uncle devised
means for the better education of
ministers In the Colony, and his
mother was dignified, serene,
deeply reliigous. and beautiful.
"Washington's home was one in
which prayer, the Bible and the
church were honored. Washing
ton's father died when George was
eleven years old, but not before
he had taught his son to love
truth, practice unselfishness, and
appreciate the public worship of

one's amusement be manful and
not sinful, and to keep alive In
one's breast that sacred spark
called conscience.

Small Fan Exhausts Odors
From Stove and Aids to
Keep Home Clean
One of. the best ways to ventil
ate the home is through the
kitchen.
An. electrical science, after
years of study and experimenta
tion, has developed a simple little
device known as an electric ex
haust fan which is conquering all
the formerly formidable odors of
frying or cooking onions, cabbage,
cauliflower, fish and other smells
from the griddle as well as givting
the entire home real protection
from air greases and poor ventila
tion. The ventilation experts declare
that this little exhaust fan for the
kitchen will be as commonly used
and as popular among the rank
and file of intelligent housewives
as .an electric iron, the vacuum
cleaner, the automatic washer and
ringer and other electrical equip
ment which has largely eliminated
drudgery in the household. And
the use of ventilation of this sort
is an application in the home of
the most recent developments in
the electrical control of air used
extensively today by big industries
in efficiently operated schools,
theaters, and -public buildings, the
experts say.
Both physicians and engineers
seem to agree that few house
wives have learned to use their
windows with sufficient skill and
regularity to overcome the flood
of smells and gases that the kitch
en pours Into the dining room.
Window ventilation cannot be
controlled with any certainty or
regularity as air supply can be by
electricity, it is pointed out. Ven
tilation should be provided for
just like heating and lighting in
the home and the way now is
simple and the cost slight.
An exhaust fan Is just a special
type of electric fan which is per
manently installed high up in the
wall of the kitchen, in an opening
provided for II, so that in opera
tion, jthe fan blows, the, air of the
kitchen wlthWTTliesmoke and
steam, directly outdoors and
away. This sets np an immediate
circulation of air from the house
into the kitchen and no more
smells of cooking work their way
out into the other rooms. The re
sult is that boiling cabbage or
friend onions do not greet tne
guest at the front door while a
ham may be boiled, baked and
brought up to the full point of
perfection and still be a surprise
to the household, when it comes
to the table. The air from the
house flows to the kitchen but the
kitchen aid can never work Its
way Into the house.
While this little mechanical
product of electrical science is a
complete cure for odors, it pro
vides better working conditions
for the cook by assuring improved
yentilation and less heat in the
summer. The economic nousewire

Health of Marion County
1
How the health of infants
school children and adults is being
safeguarded in Marion county
through the organizing and ad
ministration work of the Marion
county child health demonstration,
is vividly described in the pamph
let which Is now being distributed
throughout the county and to
health centers, chambers of com
merce and business men in other
communities throughout the
northwest.
The accompanying drawing is
an interesting feature of this
pamphlet. While designed pri
marily to give an idea of the dis
tribution of health centers, it also
shows some of the county's scenic
and Industrial points of interest.
It shows the extent of the health
demonstration's work, and the re
mote points to which its repre
sentatives go in connection with
their duties.
Some of the demonstration's
most important work, the pamph
let relates, is its service in the in
terests of infants' health.
"Nine nurses, specialists in this
work, spend their entire time do
ing what they can for the health
of Marion county mothers and
children. This care begins weeks
before the child comes into the
world, and extends through the
first critical weeks of its life.
Many visits to these homes are
made toy the nurses. Where the
family can afford it, a small
charge based on the average cost
of this service, is made. If not,
the nurse will come anyway if the
doctor and the family wish it.
"After the critical period Is
passed, frequent child clinics are
held at the twelve health centers,
and to these the children may be
taken. There a child specialist

and a dentist make a thorough
examination of baby or youngster.
"They note the suggestion of
bow-legs that means rickets, or
the bad tonsils that they may lead
to all sorts of trouble, or the
drooping shoulders and flat feet,
or the teeth that are growing
askew. They tell the mother and
the father too, if he comes, as he
often does, about these things and
point out the troubles that should
be taken to the family physician
and dentist.
"They give no medicine, and no
treatment for those are the con
cerns of the family doctor and
dentist, but they help to keep the
well baby well and bring the sick
baby and the doctor together. At
clinics like this, during the first
year of the Marion county child
health demonstration, some .-000
children were examined, and 85
per cent of them were found to
have some health lack that could
be met by skilled treatment.
"The school is not the only
place where the child learns how
to use his mind and body; it is the
place where he spends a large
share of his time for eight or ten
of his growing years.
"So Marion county children are
taught health habits in school and
the schools themselves are studied
and safeguarded so that they may
contribute to the child's health
while he is in attendance.
"In places far from one of the
health centers, the examining
doctor and dentist will come to
the school itself and examine the
neighborhood children. In one of
them a boy with diphtheria was
found who hadn't even stayed
home from school.
"School buildings fine as they
are in many cases in Marion coun

TOLEDO (AP) Has the Holy

Blake-More Goodwin, director
of the museum, believes it is pos

Harris, curator of manuscripts at
the Rylands Libarary of Manches

belief.
A blue Syrian glass cup, .donat

of the museum, to the ancient
glassware collection. Is said by
Harris to be very possible one of
the cups used by the disciples at
the last supper, and perhaps the
Holy Grail itself. Although the
cup came to the museum almost
ten years ago, it was not displayed
until recently.
Greek inscriptions on the cup
say: "Be' of good cheer" and
"What are you here for?" .A
phrase similar to the latter was
used by Jesus in addressing Judas
at the time of. the berayal. The

PORTLAND, Oregon, (Spec

quarters of "40 and 8," fun-making
organisation of the American
Legion, during its convention in
Paris in September,- dates from
1896, announces Carl R. Moser, of
Portland. Department Convention
Officer for this state. The hotel
is located on the Quay d'Orsay, a
place that has seen many events
that have made history,
A river navigation company
used the space where the Gare
d'Orsay and Palais d'Orsay stand
now, in 1740. Fifty-five years
later in 1795, their building be
came barracks for the police. Five
years later the buildings were used
for the quartering of Consular
Guards and became known as the
Quartier Eugene. The -name was
changed again in 1805 to Bona
parte Barracks. In 1810 the Palais
d'Orsay became a municipal build
ing and In 1871 fire destroyed the
buildings The ruins remained
until 1898 when the space was
cleared of the debris and the pres
ent railroad station and hotel were
erected. .
Besides being large, the Palais
d'Orsay offers the best in the way
of lodging accomodations. It
boasts several large ballrooms in
the furniture of the period of
Louis XV. It is in these rooms
that the American Chamber of
Commerce of Paris holds its an

of another wing 1,000 dancers
may be comfortably entertained at
the same time.
Erection of the Quay d'Orsay
was begun by Boucher d'Orsay, a
Parisian magistrate, in 1708. It
was not completed until during
the Empire. From 1802 until
1815 it" was called the' Quay Bona

THE POT OF BOLD
A True .Story- of ; Hidden"
Treasure - and Reaction
When Not Discovered
. ' .rti
Rev. Ernest H. Snanka ' " ,
Wham! Did you ever see any
thing like that? ' ' i
It was a warm early summer
Sunday evening1 and we were do
ing the milking out in the cattle
yard ty the straw stack. I was
milking old Blossom at the "time
and my sisters were with me, each,
milking one ot the other : cows.
Some dark clouds came up in the
southwest and it looked like' rain, -one
of those sudden early summer
showers you know. ' " 1 '
We had been noticing the dark
clouds and talking about the need
for ns to hasten the milking be
fore the rain came. When sud
denly, and without the least bit pf
warning, a bolt of lightning came "
out of the clouds and struck the
ground over in the pasture field
a little way from the cattle yard.
It was a tremendous bolt: ' Old '
Bios' dropped as if she had been
shot. I fell over backward, taking
the pall of milk with me, but for
tunately I was neither stunned
nor did I spill any great quantity
of milk. r
Then just as if the lightning
had, broken open the clouds, the
rain began at once to pour dowa
on us In great dashing, 'drench
ing floods. We finished the
milking under the shelter of the
cattle sheds. ' ' .'' .,!
But there was something,
strange about that bolt' of light
ning. What made It strike In thei
ground out there in the pasture
field? There was . no trees.' or
rocks near by. Father " never al
lowed a rock or a stump in "any
field. Everything must W dean
and clear. There was Slight
rise of ground, but all waa'plaln
ly visible tfrom the yard, and tre
could see where the bolt stVuck.
For a moment there was a. bit of?
blue smoke curling from the spot. .
. The next morning we .went , out
to. look. The ground was bare for ,
a space of probably three feet
in diameter but there was no other
evidence of any damage, or dis
turbance. The neighbors-"Tiad
heard the stroke and several
came to look at the place. The
they began, as neighbors will ,t -offer
reasons for the lightning'!
curious prank.
"Why, did it strike there. Ilk
that, in an open field?"
"Well, heremust be something
