For the women, who are often tired of the dull routine of cook- ing food and washing dishes, the meal eaten by the side of the lake or in the woodland glade has an element of novelty, and it also saves labor. Woman's imaginative na- ture makes the ham sandwiches eaten amid the whisper- ing forest or by the rippling river seem like food for the gods. | The men groan about the picnic habit, particularly when asked to lug heavy baskets over some rough path to some nearly inaccessible spot. But the male animal takes a certain pleasure in collecting supplies for a fire and making it burn, which gives him the feeling that he is still a good pioneer, and an adept at woodcraft. The fire started, he then proceeds to organize a ball game. Though he may not have pitched a curve or run around the bases for 20 vears, the itch swat that ball stirs in his heart. He feels young again, when he has sent the little sphere bounding off into the bushes. Next day, he may need lotions and massage to correct his lame mus- cles. Still it was a satisfaction to be a boy again. The picnic habit helps us to come closer to Nature, In a world where the shams and shows of things often count more than reality, it does us so good to get out among the birds, the woodchucks, and the fish. The picnic habit has one unfortunate result, in the tendency of many picnickers to leave their rubbish scattered over the beauty spot which they tenanted for the moment. No family or group is fit to enjoy the picnic until it has formed the habit of clean- ing up every serap of refuse, and it is not fit to be trust. ed in Nature's temple of worship until it has extinguished every last spark of its camp fire. sometimes to UNDER PAR AT THE WHEEL Anybody not licensed in previous years who wants to drive an automobile in Pennsylvania must satisfy the State Motor Police that he is qualified to be at the wheel of the car. This by taking an examination which is comparative- ly simple. If an aspiring auto driver doesn’t know the things that the examination requires he isn't fit to drive a car, for if he can’t steer one, doesn’t know how to turn it around and is blithely unaware of red lights when they glare over or in front of him he isn't going to be a sat- isfactory driving mate on the highway. The rudimentary quality of the test is not sparing a large number of persons from failure to qualify. This year, nearly one-third of all the applicants are being re- jected. Since the examinations are not unduly severe the high percentage of rejections suggests tests conducted honestly and without favoritism. Also suggested is the thought that a considerable number of people are con- stitutionally not adaptable to the requirements of driving a ear, or perhaps many of them go ill prepared to take the examination. Applicants who have found the road to a driver's li- cense difficult to travel may find it even more difficult hereafter, for on the basis of experience and in the light of new needs drivers’ tests in Pennsylvania are to be re- vised soon, and probably upward. WARNS BUSINESS: “STOP CRYING” “Industry for the last 10 years has been over in the crying room—always complaining, always sending some one to Washington, always getting up and telling what's wrong with the Roosevelt Administration,” declared Frank W. Lovejoy, general sales manager of the Socony- Vacuum Oil Co.. of the Standard group, addressing 600 delegates to a convention of the National Federation of Sales Executives in Philadelphia, June 5. “You'll never cure a situation that way and I say that no situation exists,” he continued. ‘The political scene doesn’t interfere with markets for a company that has a product and goes out and sells it. You are always going to have taxes. They may some day be less or more but there will always be markets. Industries formerly accus- tomed to boom-time revenues should have been stirring themselves and adjusting themselves to reasonable, nor- mal profits and without curtailing advertising, as many have done.” E. S. Wilson, vice president of the Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co., predicted the unemployment problem will be solved “by making new things for people to buy.” MEXICANS SUSPECT US It is worth noting, as an instance of the behavior of unlearned people, that when the Mexican aviator, Fran- cisco Sarabia was killed in this country in a fatal crash, a erowd of Mexicans stoned a building in Mexico which housed an American school. Responsible Mexican officials and the educated class of Mexicans did not participate in the disorder, of course, but the popular suspicion that the Yankees had something to do with Sarabia’s catastrophe indicates a distrust of the people of this country that is only explainable by the ignorance of the unintelligent Mexicans. "Let's not laugh too heartily at the foolishness of the Mexicans. There are people in this country who can see a Red every time the bushes move and others who “know” that Great Britain is making the United States do her dirty work in the world. In fact, what the voting popula- tiomaf-the-linited-States can-be taught to swallow during abroad. While it is true that the proposed work to the neutrality measures will believe this other Americans, equally anxious for peace, who have an other idea. Besides, there are many citizens who believe that a general war will, sooner or later, engulf the United States and that the best way to avoid war is to help pre- The neutrality question is now before the Congress of the United States with every indication that a group talk to death any effort to In earlier years the Congress passed a law, making it mandatory upon the President to declare an embargo upon the sale of war material to nations at war.

They are delighted whenever any source of supply is closed to their victims. the Spanish Civil War. Germany and Italy, supplying Gen. Franco, were extremely interested in the nongintervention arrangement which prevented from securing necessary war munitions. The United States, in a war between nations, like Ger- many against Italy, or Brazil against Argentina, would no doubt, maintain a strict neutrality. There would be little desire to help either antagonist, Under international cus. tom, however, a belligerent is accustomed to buying war supplies wherever they may be and the war plans of many nations include the expectation of purchasing munitions are usually This was evident in the Spanish Government the Great changes in benefit of Britain and France it is also true that they work to the advantage of Japan. Certainly, the advocates of neutral- ity revision have no idea of the law should be changed because it has not worked aiding Japan. They think at- isfactory as applied to the Spanish and Far Eastern con- flicts. There is, we think, a more powerful argument for re vision. Frankly, this is based upon an identity of interest with the so-called democratic powers, There can be little doubt but that the world is today divided into two groups, with Germany, Italy and Japan representing a bloc, an- tagonistic to democracy, personal freedom and the order. lv development of civilization. To contend that the United States is uninterested in the outcome of a possible war be tween these nations and the so-called democratic nations is to admit that the United States has no interest whatever in world happenings and this, it is apparent, is absurd, rro—— r—— Sunday School Lesson PAUL REVIEWS HIS LIFE School Lesson 1939.

This was his first im prisonment, which lasted about two years, and was concluded by his ac- quittal, although he was ordered to depart from Rome He spent his remaining years traveling and preaching as had been his custom in the past. Some of his movements are a matter of doubt but it is prob- able that his activity was as follow: After his release, Paul, with Luke and Timothy, left Rome and went to Ephesus, where he stayed a while, and from which city he prob- ably made other shorter visits Then he went (o Macedonia, especi- ally Philippi, and probably visited other churches in that section, It is then thought that he visited Col- ossae, where he probably saw Phile- mon and Onesimus, the former slave We also know that Paul sent to Crete, because in a letter to Titus he refers to the fact that he left him there. The work of Titus at Crete, just as previously at Corinth wis to secure suitable men in the offices of leadership. to correct er- roneous teachings, and to encour- age a proper eanduct of the church members.

He worked energetica.ly and whole-heartedly making his life an example to all those who believe as he did.
