A warning that the economic status of women is threat ened by discrimination toward men was advanced by the national fed eration of business and professional women's clubs. The warning and a review of steps taken to combat the trend against women were expressed in a pamphlet written for the fed eration by Eudcra Ramsay Richard pen, national field representative. "In the countries of central Eu rope gains that resulted from post war upheavals are almost totally lost," she wrote. "In America the federal government thru section 213-A of the economy act has set a pattern that has contributed to and increased discrimination, in this case ogainst married women. Discrimin atory legislation has been introduced into general assemblies and into in numerable city councils. With 'put men back; to work' the battle cry, many private businesses have re placed women with men, claiming thereby to lessen unemployment." J. Howard Davis Attorney at Law Plattsmouth Bible School "uxday, April 28th 'The Holy Scriptures" j Ts. 19:7-14; II Tim. 3:14-17. '''" A I Among the "Great Teachings" ' of this quarter, the one assigned for this Sunday is surely a "Great" teaching,, IJ Vtl U-jC 1111 UUbIl - Hie Ov-l IjJ LUl wc learn to know Gcd, the creator; how the world came into being; the origin cf man; the fall of man; the plan of redemption; the tarrying out of this plan; the purpose cf man's crea tion; his final destiny; we learn to b.iow the value cf time; the proper conduct lor a happy life; our respon sibility to our fellow man; cur ac countability to God for the use of our talents and means entrusted to us. By the foregoing, we see the great imprrtr.nce of the Scripture. With out them we would be groping in the dark. Tho skeptic will say: "How do ycu know that the Scriptures are the words of God?" That is a fair ques tion and should receive an intelligent answer. The evidence is in the word itnclf: (a) the transforming power it has exerted oa the world; (b) the; ehsngo it has wrought in individual lives; (c) the fulfillment cf its proph ecies; (d) its teachings fit all people, under all conditions, in every clime, through all ages. The lesson material is too vast to be considered here in detail. May we just quote the passages and their teaching: Deut. 0:4-9 is an exhortion to teach the youth the value of obedience to the cne God. Jos. 1:1-9 teaches man to trust God and rely on him and success is ensured. (The only time the word ! ' fcucceso" is used in the Bible). II Kings 22:S-20 shows us the great revival that followed the find ing and reading of the bock of the law. (It is almost unbelievable that even the High priest could function without the book of the law). Neh. S:l-3 bring3 to our attention the fact that proper reading and in terpretation has a remarkable effect on the hearers. Luke 24:25-32 demonstrates the fact that the word of Gcd is a power that 13 convincing. Act3 17:10-12 teachc3 how the word of God can kindle a deep desire in the heart of men fcr the Scripture, that they become their daily bread. Heb. 1:1-4, in thi3 short paragraph we have a wonderful description of the Son of God- none like it any where else. The excellency of the word of God, or the Holy Scriptures is set forth in rs. 19:1-14. The perfection of the law is simply sublime. "Perfect," it lacks no truth necessary, for , man'3 j perfect life; it reveals God as' per-j fectly as God can be revealed; it will i SAND ALL COMPLETES WORK " Omaha. A five year tenure of of fice as United States district attor ney, enlivened by liquor conspiracy, murders, gang killings and other trials of front page interest, appar ently had a prosaic ending for Charles E. Sandall. . What was probably Mr. Sandall's last official act before turning over his office to Joseph T. Votava of Om aha, was the signing of an order to confiscate Jellies, jams and fruits not in conformity with the pure food act. Mr. Sandall executed the order be for leaving the latter part of the week for a weekend at his home in York. Mr. Votava, whose commission recently arrived from Washington, expected to take office either Mon day or Tuesday when he returns from an out of town business trip. During his incumbency, Mr. San dall had a part in the investigation of the Gene Livingston murder in 1930, the two shootings of Charles Hutter in January and August of 1931; the murder of George Kubik in 1931; slaying of Harry Lapidus in December, 1931, and the liquor conspiracy hearing in June and July of 1932 which was designated to clean out the "big shots" of the Omaha liquor "racket." "Seo it before you Buy It." Lesson Study! By L. Neitzel, Murdock. Neb. never be equaled and can never be surpassed. "Restoring the soul," it calls'it .'tack'": -from'' its wanderings, bringing it. to, its true shepherd. The greatest men of the ages have been dilligent students of the Bible. The deep things of God are revealed there in. The "simple" are made wise those whose minds are open to the truth. The ordinances cf God never change, even as God never changes. Man is also warned of any danger that may beset him. A prayer is here added for God to "keep back thy ser vant also from presumptuous sins." They are sin3 committed in the full knowledge of the sinfulness of the sin indulged in and with deliberate in tent. If a man sin3 in thi3 manner, he is as near to hopelessness as a man can ever be. Who in the Bible sinned prcsumptously? Judas? Peter? The Inspiration and the power of the word of "God II Tim. 3:14-17. This letter was the last Paul wrote; it was addressed to hi3 adopted son, Timcthy. This young man had been taught the Holy Scriptures. Reared in a religious home, were Grandmother Lois and his mother Eunice, who had made deep impressions on the plastic mind of the child. This was done in conformity with the established Jew ish law as laid down in Deut. 6:4-9. ("Train up a child in the way he shall go; and when he is old, he will not depart from it.") Prov. 22:6. The Jewish parent's duty was to teach his child the law when in his fifth year. The Scriptures are "sacred" because they proceed from the spirit of God; they are communicated through men of Gcd; they reveal God, and they are given to bring us to God. If Bible study does not lead one to a confes sion of Christ as Saviour, it has failed. The inspiration of the word. This is the only time this word is used in the Bible, and means, God-breathed, hence, inspired of God breath, wind, tr.irit are the same thing. For the Scriptures then to be inspired of God means that their contents have been breathed into them by God, that the spirit of God ha3 controlled the minds of those who were devinely commis sioned to write its books. If the Bible is cf God, it also must be true, be cause God knows the truth, all truth. When a Christian has once come to believe the declaration cf this verse, the word of God is always the final authority. If this word is lived up to, man will become like hi3 maker. "Blest Word of God, send forth thy light O'er every land and ev'ry sea, , : . Till all who wander in the night Are led to God and heav'n by thee!" Farm Improve ment Under Way Thruout Nation Farm Homes Are Benefiting From the Aid Given. Out by Fed eral Government. Washington, April 22. From all parts of the country reports of im provements to farm homes and to larms themselves under the Modern ization Credit Plan are being received by i be Federal Houising Adminis tration, it was announced today. Living standards are being raised, comforts and sanitary facilities com mon to city life but which have been all too rare on the farm, are being installed in houses. Barns are being repaired and modernized, adequate water supplies are being provided, and farm work is being made easier. Some idea of the extent to which farmers are turning to moderniz ation is shown by the response to a farm improvement reaflet distributed recently. The leaflets contained cou pons requesting further Information. These are being returned hore daily by the hundreds. Specific instances of farmers who have already modernized properties, and the results obtained from mod ernization, give a clearer picture of this modern farm movement. Elza Harroun, of Longmont, Colo., has an 80-acrefarm with a new barn erected with modernization credit, enabling him to comply with the Denver dairy sanitation laws and to get ?10 to $14 a month for the milk from seven cows. This is more than enough to pay off the credit within the prescribed time. Other Colorado farmers are improv ing their water supply, repairing and improving their dwellings and barns and generally making farm life more comfortable as well as making farm work more efficient.. Similar cases can be cited in most of the mountain states, and lumber companies particularly are feeling the benefit of this . farm moderniz ation movement. R. S. Grier, presi dent of the Grier Lumber company of Cheyenne, Wyo., says: "Our busi ness is at least 25 per cent better than it was three months ago and thereis na doubt JJiat, repairing and remodeling of homes fias b'een" stim ulated by the National Houising Act." and Mrs. Marshall Moore," of Mr, Fort Collins, Colo., claim the long- distance record for moving a house with the aid of modernization credit. They bought a five-room house from a local oil company, moved it two miles to their cherry-orchard ranch, added three rooms and made a real home of it. Albert Schneiter, dairy farmer and cheese maker of Belgrade, Mont.', was at a loss how to provide for the ar rival of 25 calves this spring from his herd of dairy cows until his bank er told him about the modernization credit plan. With the credit extend ed under this plan, Schneiter built a calf shed and then went ahead and j best milk market in hi s territory or built a garage and repainted his modernizing his dairy plant.

As a modernization credit, she added a result, he now gets top prices for bathroom and installed a power wa ter pump in her home. Byron Thraic kell, of the same town, converted a two-room house into an attractive; modern four-room dwelling with modernization credit. In Payson, Utah, Mr. and Mrs. E. G.

William Jones7 of Van Nuys, Calif., built 42 rabbit hutches with his mod ernization credit. William Cornu, of Chine, Calif., had to choose between losing the his dairy products. In Oregon, the case of John Dasch, of Salem, is typical. Ke had bought the farm ten years ago with more enthusiasm than money and had never been able to catch up with himself. So he took a Job as day laborer in the city and worked his orchard and tended his cows in even ings and on Sundays. Late last year farm product prices began to rise built a new cow barn and installed modern plumbing in his home; and H. H. Davidson, of Lincoln, who has thoroughly modernized his home. Farmers, poultrymen and dairy- men of the state of Washington are keeping up with the modernization procession. C.

McKinley, whose farm is near Seattle, put a new roof on his poultry house. R. S. Cutting, of Enumclaw, painted every building on his farm. Fred S. Elder, of Auburn, remodeled both his house and barn. Missouri farmers also are alive to Ourselves out of the the benefits they can obtain under the provisions of the National Hous ing Act. G. W.

' , . - Natural Gas Ample for the United States Officers State Supply Sufficient to Supply Every City, Town arid Hamlet in Country. Omaha, April 22. The supply of natural gas in the United States is ample to serve every city, town and hamlet in the country for scores of years to come. Captain A. E. HIggins of Dallas, Texas, declared in sound ing the dominant note at the annual convention here of the Mid-West Gas association. Captain Higgins is sec retary of the natural gas department of the American Gas association. States comprising the association are Nebraska, Iowa, South Dakota, North Dakota, and Minnesota. . Frank H. Brooks, vice president and general manager of the Northern Natural Gas company, was elected president or, the association. Captain Higgins, who still flies his own plane in the pursuit of business after 10 years in the army air service, told the hundreds of delegates that the natural gas industry is now on the threshold of its greatest growth. "Perhaps the greatest development has been that we have learned to transport natural gas long distances economically," he said. He predicted that the time is not far off when the country will be served natural gas for many purposes from an interconnected pipeline sys tem not unlike the present intercon nected electric system. "There is plenty of gas in the United States to serve every city, town and hamlet," Captain Higgins said. "Conservation programs insure ample reserves for all needs in this country for scores of years to come." He revealed that a new method of conserving gas, called "repressure," will result in the large surplus be ing carefully stored for future use. This method involves the storing of gas in wells whose supply has been exhausted and held until needed. Another important note was sound ed by Alexander Froward of New York, managing director of the Am erican Gas association. "There is not much political capital to be made any more by kicking the utilities around," he declared. "The public through recognition of the vital need for the services of utilities in everyday life at reasonable cost is not responsive to such measures as the Wheeler-Ray-burn bill, now pending in congress."
