CENTR AL POINT AM E R IC A N PAGE SIX CHRISTIAN CHURCH NOTES “ The Price of a Haircut” When international relations are affected by so small a thing as a "haircut” it behooves man, and woman too, to awake to the fact that life is both complex and serious. This message which will be pre sented by I. G. Shaw at the Church o f Chr^t next Sunday evening, il lustrates the fact that "price” in human affairs is by no means lim ited to the laws o f common barter. There is no questioning the fact that we may "g et what wc go after,” but it is also a fact that we "pay” fo r what we get. "Up to the Church” "U p " is a meaningful word, with a great moral and spiritual signifi cance. Men appreciate principles, things, institutions and folks when the yare "b ig ” enough to compel us to look "up” to them. Great souls, great causes, glorified institutions, these are the magnates that lift man kind above the animal— and o f these glorified institutions the church, that is the institutions o f which the bards and prophets o f God in all ages have' dreamed and written, is the greatest. Not the associations o f pigmies, not the smirk o f "policy Christians,” not the group o f folks who think o f the church as a great "fir e insurance company" that will take care o f them in the day o f final test, but the brotherhood o f man in the fellowship o f world service, inspiring, leading, encouraging, and, with moral power compelling us to think and hence to live “ right” — this is the mission of mankind— the reasonable service o f Christians who in the aggregate con stitute the exalted church. Morning sercon subject, at the Church o f Christ HOW= W ORK or R E JU VE N ATIO N OF ST A T U A It Y PROCEEDS.— Do you know that statuary suf fers from old age and has to be rejuvenated by beauty doctors Just the same as human faces and figuresT It d iet, and reports which have Just couie to hand concerning the accomplishments of Thomas H. Hleakney, techni cian to the Pennsylvania muse um In Philadelphia, indicate that he Is Ailing the role of beauty doctor to wood, marble and plas ter statues with results that rival some of the marvels wrought by beauty parlors. Under his deft touches, aged carvings shake off their senility and bloom again In the pristine beauty o f their bet ter days. Old age works its ravages on art objects through chemical changes and bacteria which mar the "complexion” and leave cracks and wounds to All with dirt. Under Bleakney's direc tion, these Inanimate fares are treated for their looks by means o f soap and water aseptic solu tions nnd healing salves. Often the statue doctor's work resem bles that o f a surgeon, for wounds are cut Into, cauteriza tions o f diseased parts are made and even amputations are some times performed. Thymol, fo r malin, peroxide o f hydrogen and ammonia are used sometimes.

How Fluke Made Fortune er white tu snaoes ni green, tne aeep ness o f the green determining the per centage o f carbon monoxide In the air Quinine or quinta, much used In medicine, was discovered In 1820 by Pelletier and Caventon, who obtained It from cinchona harks. The medici nal use o f the hark, found In South America, was known to the Jesuits as early as 1535. It was used to cure o f fever the w ife o f the Spanish viceroy of Peru whose name was Chlnchona. and his name was given to the bark Why Extremes of Color Melanin Is the name given to the pig ment which colors neeroes or the black cat, and tilts pigment will also be found when an apple or potato is cut L half and exposed to the air. It Is not clear, however, what relation ex ists between the coloring matter of dlf ferently hued animals. In studying white animals some Interesting points arise. There are two sorts o f white animals, as In the case o f white rab bits (pure white with pigmented eyes) and albinos (which are devoid of pig ment or coloring m atter.) I f one were to cross a pure white rabbit with a pure black, the family In the Arst gen eration would he all white, while If a black thoroughbred were crossed with sn albino the Aral generation would all be black. Why Animal Glue Is Best For repairing furniture, and all wood working, glue Is the appropriate mate rial. The United States forest service has made tests to ascertain the rela tive strength o f the different kinds of glue used In wood working. From the housekeeper's standpoint It Is Indicated that animal glue made from the Vldes nnd bones Is Just suited to give strong Joints— the strength o f the glue being greater than the strongest wood! For minor repair work, and for bind ing small articles, a liquid glue made either from the animal glue, or from Ash products, may be used. I f you are working with articles of wood which will he exposed to much moisture, you should get a specially prepared water-resisting glue. Why Plants Are Leafless Leaves are a temporary part o f the plant. Every plant has a period of rest dne to annually recurring and un- favorable conditions o f temperature and moisture, or both, when the ac tivity o f life In the plant la suspended and It ceases to feed or grow. Ir. such a state leaves have no function and are therefore needless. In a decidu ous plant the leavea suddenly and con- apicuously full o f f ; In others, called evergreen, most o f the leaves are re tained In the green condition until they are gradually replaced by new onea.
