DECEMBER 19 I SHALL NOT WANT:— The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not w ant. . . Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever,— Psalm 2 3 :1 , 6. A WORTHY CREED Although it l i a s been widely published, “ The Amer­ ican’s Creed,” adopted by Congress in 1919, is not as well known to the citizens of the country as it should be. This creed was selected through a contest, open to all Americans, for the purpose of securing “ the best sum­ mary ot the political faith of America.” The author of the successful manuscript was Wm. Tyler Page, a descendent of President Tyler. The phrases composing it are taken from the Pre­ amble and the Constitution of the United States, the Dec­ laration of Independence, the Oath of Allegiance and from utterances of distinguished patriots, all woven to­ gether into a complete and lofty sentiment, as follows: “ I believe in the United States of America as a Gov­ ernment of the people, by the people, for the people; whose just powers’ are derived from the consent of thé governed; a democracy in a republic; a sovereign Nation of many sovereign states; a perfect union, one and insep­ arable; established upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice and humanity for which American pa­ triots sacrificed their lives and fortunes. “ I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to love it; to support its Constitution; to obey’its laws; to respect its Hag, and to defend it against all enemies.” WIDOWED, BUT A MOTHER A mother, in Chicago, comes into court to declare that her son did not kill his father; the killing was ac­ cidental. The son came home drunk from a “ party.” There was a sabre in the room. There was a scuffle over the sabre. The father is dead. The son is in jail, pre­ sumably sober by this time. The husband is dead. The son is living. The mother is still a mother. The wife is now a widow. She savs the son did not do it. It was an accident Who did it f How about the permission that was given, by each of us, m our several ways, for this son to get drunk! NATIONS AND WORLD RIGHTS One of the things that is frequently forgotten in talk-! nig of such controversies as the Egyptian questions, is that the theory of nationality utterly prevents the hand-1 nng of the dispute in a way that fits the facts. We have managed to reduce the most of our world! problems to terms of “ nationality.” All the territorv of' the world is divided among “ nations.” Nations, thus, have definite areas. They exercise sovereign jurisdiction. If a nation is encroached -upon, it is a violation of this jurisdiction. And if any nationality is to be diminished it can he legally diminished only by the aimexaton or the conquest or the voluntary mergng of one (nation into another. And yet these are not the facts at all. It is not a fact that the Suez canal is an integral part ot the Egyptian “ nation.” It is not a fact that Sudan is u part of “ Egypt.” It is not a fact that in handling the Suez canal, it is necessary for the British to encroach upon Egyptian nationality. And yet, the people of England have no way to think ot managing the upkeep and the safety of the canal ex­ cept by controlling Egypt. And the people of Egypt have no way of thinking about running their own affairs ex­ cept by running the canal, and by running the Sudan Each is a part of the Egyptian “ nationality.” We have no provision for the handling of world in­ terests, as such. The world does have interests, that are separate irom those of individual nations. We are finding that •nit, m hitter lessons, no matter what we may think of the league of nations, or of a world court. The British empire, as the custodian of the Suez can­ al, lias taken upon itself responsibilities, which it cannot avoid, by any recognition of Egypt. The United States, hv the building of the Panama canal, and by the encour­ agement of trade through it, lias taken upon itself res­ ponsibilities, which cannot he evaded by hiding behind any theory ot nationality. Theodore Roosevelt knew this when he helped in the foundation of the Panama republic And yet it is impossible for statesmen not to think and to act in terms of nationality. Any change from that method of flunking will have to he accomplished slowlv. It is in the international schools like conferences and congresses and conventions, world courts and tribunals that the methods of a world organization will he worked out. Until that time, we will have to go on bluffing about the rights of “ nations” when we actually consider other human rights ahead of them, YALE TELESCOPE WILL STUDY STARS IN SOUTH » there. “ Mòre im portant even than w eather,” says Dr. Schlesin­ ger, ” b the steady atm osphere for which th a t section of the world is fam ous.” NEW HAVEN, Conn., Dec 19 — Eleven tons of telescope ‘m | p arts) will leave here December 27 for Cape Town, South Africa, following two weeks after the departure of Dr. Frank Schles- ! inger, director qf Yale Univer- . sity s astronom ical observatory, who Is to weld the eleven tons Into one instrum ent on some South African height, where for the next ten years it will be used In observation of stars of the South­ ern Hemisphere, to seeure data long desired by astronom ers. The telescope, fourth largest on earth, but “ the most efficient one known,” is so arranged that it moves five-eights of an inch in four minutes and makes a com­ plete revolution each twenty- four hour«. Despite Its eleven tons of weight, the instrum ent can be directed at any point in. the heavens by hand. Yale undertook to build the telescope when her astronom ers indicated a desire to determ ine the distances of more than 1,000 stars visible only in the Southern Hemisphere, and to determ ine the proportionate motion of a very large num ber of faint stars. South Africa was determ ined upon for the site of the observa­ tory undertaking the work be­ cause of atm ospheric conditions Johannesburg and Blumfonteme stand as most likely to receice the telescope. Dr. Schlesinger will decide th a t when he reaches South Africa. W hen the propos- ed ten-year task is ended one of two present proposals will have been adopted for the future use of the telescope. One is to keep it there as an African observatory feature. Yale to m ake the ob- LONDON, Dec. 19. — Sir E. Sharpley H afer, physiologist of servatory perm anent.

Lenses of the great telescope cost $21,000. The fram e cost $18,000. Instead of having the construction of th e fram e done outside, Yale did h er own work in a special factory erected on the observatory grounds. That cut the cost from the more than $100,000 first estim ated. Then I the whole affair was moved down­ town to the Mason Mechanical Laboratory of the university, AííSBf__, • O n Li thia Bakery R i CHT GEESE t CHICKEN ALASKAN REINDEER A A t t PLAZA MARKET and the choicest cuts of meat at Christmas Goodies Eagle Market just received.
