is Like a Race Horse

Lubricating Oil in a bottle or a can may lock fine so
may a race horse in a stall. But put the horse on a
track, make him run a half mile and he may prove all
looks and nothing else. The same is true of Motor Oil!

Seme Mountains of the Bible.
Camel VIII.
First King: 18-20 One of the
greatest battle of all times was
fought out on this mountain be
tween Gods. The armies are very
unequal, Elijah and Jehovah on one
side, Baal and 850 men on the other
side. The question to be decided is:
Who is the true God? A fair ques
tion. Who will win? Who will give
the decision? We shall see. Things
had not gone well in Israel. A wick
ed King and his Queen had led the
a C
RT&
people away from Jehovah and had
substituted Baal the sungod of anc
ient Semitic races. Jehovah bore
long with this people; he withheld
rain from them for three and one
half years, but that did not bring
the King and people to their senses.
Things were coming to a climax.
Jehovah gave the word to Eliijah "Go
show thyself to Ahab." After a few
preliminaries the battle is on. The
courageous prophet orders the King
to prepare his arm; word was sent
for all the servants of Baal, S50, to
report on Mount Carmel. The peo
ple were to be the umpries. Elijah
issues the orders for the battle.
Baals side is to have first choice,
because, Elijah says: "Ye are many"
the rules are to be which God shall
answer with fire, shall be declared
the true God, to which all agreed.
Two bullocks are brought, one is
killed and upon an altar, no fire put
under it.
Now the prophets of Eaal began
to call.upon their God to show what
he can do, but he teems not to be
at home, or has important business
".omewhere else, anyway he does not
answer. His devotees become desper
ate. Elijah mocking them, they be
came frenzied, they cut themselves
with llnives and lancets to arouse
Baal to sympathy, but to no avail.
Elijah calls time, it is afternoon,
time for the Jews evening sierifice;
they had had their chance; now
"o?nes Elijah time. The suspense is
great. Will Jehovah fail him He
calls all the people to him, rebuilds
a broken down altar, using twelve
stones; digs a trench around it, kills
the other bullock, places it upon the
altar; then orders twelve barrels of
water poured over the sacrifice, fill
ing the trench. Elijah steps out to
the altar and prays "Lord God of
Abraham, Isaak and cf Israel, let
it he known this day, that thou art
God in Israel, and that I am thy ser
vant and that I have done all thse
th;r,g.i at. thy word. Hear me, oh
Lord, hear me, that this people may
know that thou art the Lord God,
and that thou fast turned their
hearts b; ck again." Then the fire
of the Lord fell and consumed the
sacrifice, the wood, stones, the dust
and licked up the water. When the
people saw It. they fell on their faces
and said: "The Lord, he is God!"
The people remembered Mount
Carmel, it was a milestone for Israel.
The battle is over, Jehovah has tri
umphed. The prayer of one right
eous man availed much.

men of eiiies and villages are enti
tled to compensation under the work

The attorney general has also
ruled, in reply to the state fire mar

panies writing fire insurance on auto
mobiles are liable for the three
eights of 1 percent tax on fire insur
ance portion of their gross prem
iums, as provided by the state law,

the tax on fire portion of automobile
premiums received on Nebraska
business.

his deputy and allows the sheriff to
revoke the appointment.

Installation of Former Bishop
at Dubuque Yesterday
Dubuque, la.. May 7. The arch

Beckman as archbishop of the metro
polittn see with the Most Rev. Pietro
Fumasonl-P.iondi, personal represen
tative of Pope Pius XI, officiating at

men, including many of the leading
ecclesiastics of the nation, witnessed
the ceremony which elevated the
former bishop of Lincoln, Neb., to
the archbishopric, the highest office
of liis church in Iowa and Nebraska.
The public installation also was seen
by a throng of laity that filled the
picturesque old church and spilled
out along the street.
Escorted to Throne
The impressive investiture was
culminated when the papal delegate
arose from the gold and white cov
ered papal throne in the sanctuary
and er.eorted the newly honored prel
ate to his own throne opposite.
Then the attending clergy knelt
before their new leader, kissing his
ring as an open declaration of their
obedience.
The attendance of the apostolic
del?gate was looked upon as a spec
ial tribute to the new prelate, since
custom does not decree that the papal
delegate, the highest Catholic church
men in America, attend.
The sermon was preached by the
Most Rev. John Joseph Glennon,
archbishop of t. Uouis. The Right

crusade, which now has a half mil
lion members under his direction.

early education In Cincinnati, where
he was born, and later spent four
years in European universities. As a
doctor of divinity he returned to Cin
cinnati to become president of Mount
St. Mary seminary.

Committee Confronted by Major Cc:?
trcversfes; Action at This
SDssicr. Doubtful.
Washington, May S.- Confronted
by controversy over major provisions
of the house rivers and harbors b'lt,
the senate commerce committee vas
so divided today that Chairm.oi
John-son said he had "no idea" whn
the measure authorizing waterway
improvements throughout the coi:n
try might be reported to the senate.
Enactment of the measure at this
session now appears a "doubtful
proposition," Johnson said.
The committee decided to cl3
hearings next week after taking ad
ditional testimony on a provision for
acquisition and operation of the Erie
canal in New York state by the fed
eral government.
Opponents of this proposal, one of
the most stubbornly disputed, found
aonther champion today in Senator
Walsh (deni., Mont.) who declared
the roject "undoubtedly" would in
terfere with development of the Ht.
Lawrence waterway, that it was "a
dead horse" which the state of New
York was attempting to unload on
the federal government, and that it
involves a question which ought not
"to be submitted at the close of con
gress when business interests thruout
the country are demanding swift pas
sage of the rivers and harbors bills."
Insisting that New York would,
use "the ownership of the route by
the government" as an argument for
development of a deep sea waterway
there as against the proposed St.
Lawrence route, Walsh cited public
declarations by former Governor
Smith, Representative Dempsey of
New York and others sponsoring an
"all-New York" route to the sea.
The committee also heard Senator
Swanson (dem., Va.) propose an in
crease in the authorization for im
provement of the James- river. . To
morrow it will hear testimony on
proposals for changes in the hour.e
provision for smaller developments in
Florida and Texas. World-Herald.
