DOING THINGS FOR
PEOPLE
I have a friend who occupied a
prominent official position in Wash
ington for a number of years. Af
ter his retirement he opened an of
fice and let it be known that he
would act as an adviser to indi
viduals and companies having busi
ness to transact with the govern
ment. Recently he told me that his first
year's income was about ten times
as large as he had dared to hope
for.
"The only way I can explain it is
that I am now cashing in on my
life-time habit of doing things for
people," he said. "When I was in
otlice I never could see why it was
n't worth while to go to a little
trouble for folks if you could do it
properly. So when a man came to
me I didn't try to side-step by say
ing, 'You will have to take that mat
ter up with such and such a de
partment,' I just tried to help him
out.
"I wasn't scheming about it. I
had no conscious notion that I was
laying up treasure in Heaven, or
anything of that sort.
"But apparently people remem
bered and appreciated, and now
they are taking pleasure in paying
me back."

viction do I belong to the United
HOUSES
Houses cost too much and are not
good enough when they are finished
and paid for. That is what Groser
nor Attebury, one of the most fa
mous architects, declares, and many
others agree with him. There has
been no Important Improvement In
the building of homes In a thousand
years; houses are still made to or
der, by expensive hand processes.
Working people ought to be able
to buy permanent homes for half
what they now cost, homes that will
not deteriorate in twenty years or
fifty, and which will keep out the
weather without constant .repairs.
The way to get them, Mr. Attebury
points out, is to build them in fac
tories, by machinery.
He has done that with a group of
houses on Long Island. Instead of
single bricks or boards put together
on the job, whole walls, floor slabs,
partitions, roofs, were cast in rein
forced concrete and fitted together
by a couple of workmen with a der
rick. The result is houses which
are more comfortable in hot weath
er or cold weather, which will last
hundreds of years, and which cost
about half what similar houses built

DRIFTED SNOW FLOUR
Brotherhood of Pollyaraias. I do
not hold that we live in the best of
all possible worlds, nor that selfish
ness is always punished and virtue
always rewarded.
On the contrary, I see many nota
ble examples of men who have ap
parently never done a gracious
thing in their whole lives who yet
have achieved fortunes and are
quite serene and contented in the
enjoyment of the good things of the
world.
But at several different times in
my own experience I have been sur
prised by having bread which I had
cast upon the waters and forgotten
come back to me spread with good
butter and even considerable jam.
One of the most valuable con
tacts of my business life grew out
of work which I did for a certain
charitable organization, with no
thought of personal gain. And a
large piece of business once walked
into my office, sent by the brother
of a man whom I had been able to
help many years before, and in an
entirely different part of the coun
try. Speaking generally, I should say
that the chance of being rewarded
for good works is sufficient so that
any man is justified, from a purely
selfish standpoint, in going out of
his way occasionally to be kind.
To say nothing of the fact that
doing things for other people brings
a personal satisfaction which is, in
itself, a reward.
in the old way cost.
Eventually some such system will
be in general use and everybody
will be able to own a durable home.
TAXES
Comparatively few motorists re
sent being taxed for highway up
keep, in the form of a sales tax on
gasoline. But politicians, always
trying to find new ways of paying
more salaries to their henchmen,
are trying in some states to divert
the gasoline tax to other than high
way puproses.
This ought to be resented and
fought by everybody who believes
that we have too many tax-eaters
in America. Every dollar paid in
taxes by car owners or drivers
should be used for highway con
struction and maintenance.
FINGERPRINTS
Sir. Edward R. Henry died the
other day. He was the chief of
Scotland Yard who Introduced into
modern police practice the ancient
Chinese method of identification by
finger-prints.
For more than 2.000 years the
people of Eastern Asia used thumb
prints instead of signatures. Any
signatures can be forged, but no
two persons have identical finger
prints. Today there are literally
millions of fingerprints on record
in the police headquarters of every
nation. Every known criminal is
fingerprinted and photographs of
these fingerprints are exchanged be
tween police departments.
Banks, insurance companies, ar
mies and navies, all sorts of busi
ness and enterprises in which the
identity of an individual must be
known with certainty now uses fin
gerprint records. Since the finger
prints never change from birth un-

til death, the time will come when
society will require every child to
be fingerprinted at birth, and the
prints made a public record. Under
such a system there can never be
any question as to whose baby Is
who when children get mixed In a
hospital ward, or whether the per
son claiming to be the missing heir
is the right one.
ENGINES
Experimenters with the Diesel
type of engines for airplanes are op
timistic in spite of many setbacks.
Diesel-engined planes have made
long flights economically but the
questions of manufacturing cost
and durability remain to be an
swered. The Diesel engine is like any
other engine which depends upon
the explosion of a mixture of gas
and air inside a cylinder, except
that It uses heavy oil instead of gas
oline and requires no electric igni
tion system, the pressure Inside the
cylinder being so great that the oil
it heated to the ignition point by
the rise in temperature caused by
the pressure.
The high pressure required makes
it difficult to reduce the Diesel en
gine to the light weight required
for aviation. For ships and where
ever crude or semi-refined oil is
available cheaply it is highly econ
omical in moderate-sized units,
though probably not as economical
in large units as the steam turbine.
In aviationi it is expected that the
same weight of fuel will produce
three times the mileage as gasoline,
at a lower price per gallon.
Sooner or later the Diesel engine
will come into its own In the air
and flying will be cheaper as well
as safer from the Are risk.
SPEED
Baron Shiba, a Japanese, has in
vented a method of making motion
pictures at the . rate of 40,000 ex
posures a second. How fast that is
one cam imagine when it is realized
that the "slow-motion" pictures
shown In theatres, of athletic per
formances and the like, are taken
at the rate of only 100 a second.
The faster the rate of exposure, the
slower the motion appears on the
screen.
Shiba's camera works 400 times
as fast as the standard slow-motion
machine. It reduces the invisible
vibration of a bee's wing to a gentle
fanning motion so slow that the
eye can hardly follow it! By means

JESUS AMONG FRIENDS AND FOBS
Luke 10:38-42; 11: 42-48, 52-54
REV. SAMUEL D. PRICE, D. D.
Far more than many may think,
Jesus was a very friendly man. He
accepted many invitations to be a
guest and delighted in the friend
ships that were increased as He
tarried in some familar home. This
time the Incident is in Bethany, not
far from Jerusalem. The writer
was at the traditonal site of this
place and also entered the supposed
tomb of Lazarus, brother of Mary
and Martha who figure in this les
son. Both of these sisters have proba
bly been overestimated by their
critcs. Martha "also" delighted to
sit at his feet and learn of Him.
Mary had probably attended to her
part of .the housework that morn
ing. Martha wanted to overdo in
the matter of the menu that day,
and this was merely in accord with
oriental custom. Today many a visit
is spoiled for both guest and host
by too much entertaining. Many
wanted spiritual uplift rather than
physical indigestion. It looks as if
Martha had been worrying herself
with self-pity and the fretting was
allowed to increase until she ex
ploded against her sister and be
fore the Company.
Foes are seen when the Pharisees
come around to find fault wtih this
new Teacher Who presents such
different rules for daily living. They
have added more rules to the Old
Testament scrolls than the people
can keep in mind, let alone prac
tice. They had fixed a certain day
