WHEN THERE IS NO PEACE
How do ye say, We are wise, and
the law of the Lord is with us? The
wise men are ashamed: lo, they have
rejected the word of the Lord; and
what wisdom is in them. They have
healed the hurt of the daughter of
my people slightly, saying, Peace,
peace; when there is no peace.

HELIUM AND HYDROGEN
The mechanical construction of
dirigibles has reached a high state of
perfection, but there is still a dan
gerous shortcoming in the manufac
turing of lighterthln-air aircraft.
Thia shortcoming is the gas with
which great bags are inflated. Be
cause of its lightness and the ease
with which it can be provided, hy
drogen has until recently been the
only material used. But hydrogen
is exteremely inflammable and, when
mixed with air, is violently explos
ive! A leak of hydrogen from the
gas bag is likely to bring disastrous
results and there is always the dan
ger of an explosion as a result of
lightning. Until a few years ago it
was deemed impossible to use any
gas other than hydrogen, and for
this reason there was little hope of
making dirigibles safe.
Helium is a very rare gas, first
discovered epectroscopically in the
atmosphere of the sun. Later It was
found to exist in extremely minute
quantities in the earth's atmosphere.
It is very light and is absolutely
inert. Inasmuch as it is non-inflammable
there Is no danger of a
gas bag filled with helium being de
stroyed by an explosion.
A few years ago it was found that
helium In small quantities existed
In the flow or certain western gas
wells. Despite the small ness of Its
quantity the helium present was suf
ficient to render the gas useless for
heating or illuminating purposes
Government experts devised methods
for extracting the helium from the
complex product of these wells, but
the methods were expensive and the
results small.
The Shenandoah, which recently
completed its transcontinental flight
contains all the helium which i3 in
possession of the navy. The ZR-3
came to America inflated with hy
drogen. Now the navy department
is determined to replace the ZR-3's
hydrogen with helium, even though
it may be necessary to rob the Shen
andoah.
What is highly needful Is some
improved method of helium extrac
tion. A material so important which
is known to exist in considerable
quantities should not be permitted
to go to waste through lack of
American ingenuity. The future of
lighter-than-air navigation may de
pend largely on the ability of Amer
ican scientists to utilize the helium
which exists under the surface of
American soil.
:o:
THE CAUTIOUS HUNTER
Carelessness while handling a
gun is much like carelessness while
driving an automobile, except in the
rase of the former accidents usually
have more serious results. In both
instances. It Is usually the careless
person who escapes, the Incidental
bystander or helpless passenger who
receives the injuries.
With the hunting season opening.
it Is worth remembering the com
mon precautions known to every ex
perienced hunter. Time spent in ob
serving them is time well spent, fail
ure to be captious costly If only in
the risk Incurred.
Every year there is the old, old
tory of the gun which was acci
dentally discharged, the moving
shadow which appeared to be a duck
but proved, too late, to be a fellow
hunter. In each case, someone Is to
blame no matter how inadvertently
so. The remedy is caution, common
sense and vigilance.
:o:
THE COUNTRY CHURCH
In an aristocratic section of New
York stands a beautiful church that
rivals ancient cathedrals in archi
tectural magnificance. Each sun-
day millionaires, officials and digni
taries drive up in their limousines
and with their families enter the
edifice. They listen to a high sal
aried minister expound doctrines
that seem remote from the affairs of
daily life. They approve and then
depart to think no more of church
or matters of religion for another
week.
Contrast this with a little white
church similar to many that adorn
the cross roads of this county. Each
Sunday farmers from the surround
ing districts assemble here. They
listen to the minister's interpreta
tion of the scriptures. But he is not
high salaried orator. He is in his
work for the good he can do, not for
the money he can get. They hear
about the brotherhood of man and
the cardinal virtues upon which our
civilization is founded.
Then they go forth home to a
chicken dinner, perhaps at which
son or daughter now living in the
nearby town will be present. But
they do not forget about the church.
The following day mother may begin
to cooking in preparation for a big
church supper. Or father may go
over with other parishioners to help
with some painting, repairing or to
set up a stove in preparation for the
winter.
And the young people may have a
meeting during the week, or any
number of things may come up in
the community to bring the people
in direct contact with their church.
Thus is the country church an im
portant center of rural life.
Both the Fifth avenue 'cathedral
and the little white church exist to
carry on the teachings of the same
Master. But which Is most in ac
cord with the life and ideals of the
lowly Nazarene?
A SPENDTHRIFT NATION
One-third of the total income of
the United States is thrown to the
four winds, or worse, declared A. G
Gulbransen, piano manufacturer, at
a conference of ethical societies held
In Chicago.
The amount utterly wasted, or
squandered on things that have lit
tie or no social value. Is equal to the
entire taxable income of the nation.
according to Mr. Gulbransen. The
annual per capita cost of crime in
the United States is $60; prevent
able disease, $18; tuberculosis, $23;
cigarettes and tobacco, $29; bootleg
liquor, $10; movies, $15; cosmetics,
$7; and automobiles, $52. Mean
while taxes, kept up by hard fight
ing, obtain $19 a year for education,
and this, nation spends $1.20 a year
per capita for musical instruments.
The richest country in the world
has the mentality of a half-grown
child. It squanders billions on play
things and vices but spends hardly
anything on true culture, music and
fine arts. Musical instruments
played in its homes are the index of
the musical status of the nation. The
total amount spent in America for
all musical instruments is only one
sixth of the nation's bill for rouge
and lipsticks.
Allowing for all the automobiles
that serve useful purposes, and mak
ing full allowance also for such
movies as may have merit, this na
tion flings away virtually' $20,000,
000 a year, a large part of the sum
viciously. One-fourth the sum would
provide playgrounds and music for
every child in the United States.

PARALYZED BY FRIGHT
A woman in Garfield, N. J., is un
able to move hand or foot, as a re
sult of seeing her husband in their
blazing garage. The fear that his
death was certain actually paralyzed
her.
No doubt, it is temporary and she
will recover from the shock, possibly
already has.
The case is an exceptionally pow
erful Illustration of the power of
mind over body.
Can disease be cured by the pow
er of mind, by will power and faith?
Many think so. Many others do not.
But it Is an accepted scientific fact
that many diseases can be caused by
the mind.
The most extreme instance is hy
pochondria. This is a mental dis
order in which the patient has a
morbid anxiety about his health. In
turn, he imagines he has about ev
erything under the sun and actu
ally develops, by the influence of
mind, symptoms that are apt to baf
fle all except the most expert diag
nostician. It is believed that his mental con
dition upsets the normal function
ing of adrenal and other endocrine
glands, thereby causing what, to the
victim. Is very real and agonizing
illness.
Power of mind over matter? Let
10 people in a day tell you that you
look ill, and it's 50-50 that by night
you will be in bed or think you
should be.
To aid recovery, never tell a pa
tient he looks badly. Instead, im
press on him that he looks better.
Look at the thing backward the
power of matter over the mind. Some
years ago (1891) Prentice Mulford
wrote a series of books, "Your
Forces and How to Use Them. " Mul
ford and others of his school of
thought, advanced the theory that
people rise or fall to their surround
ings. In proof of this: So-called
culture" is about 90 per cent en
vironment, 10 per cent heredity.
David Gibson has pointed out that
a pig Isn't naturally a dirty animal.
He merely descends to the level of
his surroundings. Raise a pig in a
clean pen and he'll spurn filth. This
has been demonstrated on experi
mental farms.
Most important In our environ

OON'TEXPERIIVSENT
You Will Make No Mistake if You
Follow This Plattsmouth Citi
zen's Advice.
Never neglect your kidneys.
If you have pain in the back, uri
nary disorders, dizziness and nervous
ness, it's time to act and no time to
experiment. These are frequently
symptoms of kidney trouble, and a
remedy which is recommended for
the kidneys should be taken in time.
Doan's Pills is a good remedy to
use. Jo need to experiment. It has
acted effectively in many cases in
Plattsmouth. Follow the advice of
a Plattsmouth citizen.
Mrs. Charles Mason, 312 Third
street, Plattsmouth, says: "I used to
have attacks when my back was so
lame and weak it bothered me a
great deal to be around on my feet.
My kidneys were disordered at times,
and I felt miserable and had no am
bition. A member of my family who
had used Doan's Pills with good re
sults advised me to try them which
I did with the best of results. In a
short time I felt like a different
woman. I get Doan's at Fricke &
Co's. drug store and use them oc
casionally when I get tired in my
back and they always-quickly re
lieve me."
Price 60c at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy get
Doan's Pills- the same that Mrs.
Mason had. Foster-Milburn Co.,

I When inferior and superior come In
contact, superior descends part way
to the other's level and the inferior ,
correspondingly rises.
You can "get a man's number" by J
his choice of friends, the same as a '
business is reflected by its customers,

:o:
COMPENSATION INSURANCE
Veterans, you are losing money
until you apply for your adjusted
compensation insurance, created by
the last congress.
In case of your demise, your rela
tives will receive a mere pittance,
and that spread out into 10 pay
ments, rather than, a lump sum for
the policy value.
The dajusted compensation insur
ance is based upon the number of
days of service. When a veteran ap
plies, the government issues a service
certificate, and if there was over 110
days' service, an insurance policy of
the 20-year endowment type, worth
about two and one-half times the
face value of the service certificate
Should a veteran apply for insur
ance, and die the following day, the
full value of the compensation insur
ance policy will be paid his relatives
in one lump sum.
Should a veteran die without mak
ing application for sompensation in
surance his beneficiary is paid only
the value of the service certificate
$1 a day for dimestic and $1.25 day
for foreign service, less the $60 bo
nus paid in 1919. And this smaller
sum is not paid in one lump, but in
quarterly payments, stretching over
two and a half years.
For example, a veteran served 500
days in domestic serv'ce. If he ap
plies for a compensation insurance
policy, and should die before its ma
turity, his relatives receive approxi
mately $1,400.
Should he fail to apply for the In
surance his relative?, in case of his
demise, would receive only $440
paid at the rate of $44 every three
months.

WHEN TWILIGHT COMES
Walt Whitman said: "I am con
vinced there are hours of nature, es
pecially of the atmosphere, lorn
ings and evenings, addressed to the
soul. . . The spirit's hour, relig
ion's hour, the visible suggestion of
God in space and time."
Nor can it be doubted that Whit
man said well. The hour cf dawn is
one of these hours pre-eminently
meant for the refreshments of the
soul. The hour of sunset is another.
But most of all, it seems to me, is
the hour oft twilight that follows
sunset; a time for fruitful medita
tion on life's higher verities.
The empties of space pulsate
strangely with life in the twilight
All the roundabout become a place
of echoes that are more than echoes
almost inaudible though they may
be. The certitude grows that man
is encompassed and aided by some
thing mightier than himself.
If it be that twilight finds one in
the quiet of one's room, the self-same
sights and sounds hearten the hope
fully attentive soul. Following
them, incited by them, there comes
a peace of mind, a quiet confidence,
surpassing any known amid the
hurly-burly of the day's activities.
It is darkness now. Time to rise.
to strike a light, to busy oneself
with some duty of the world in
which one still has place. WThatever
the duty be sure it will be done only
the better for this brief contrat with
that other world in the twilight.
Make a trial for yourself of twi
lieht's invigorating possibilities, if
you have never done so.

LADY ASTOR REITERATES
CONFIDENCE IN HER SEX
Brighton. Nov. 6. Lady Astor's
confidence in her own sex was voiced
again in a speech to delegates at-
tpndinsr the annual conference of
the national council of women of
Great Britain and Ireland. -She de
scribed the vounser generation as
full of "hope, zeal, confidence and
blissful ignorance."
"The only way we can affect
youth," Lady Astor said, "is not in
what we can do for them, but in
what we are. I have unbounded
faith in my sex. I truly believe
that women coming into public life
is the greatest spiritual step for
ward that has happened for genera
tions. The most selfless service
comes from women."
She asked girls to think for them
selves and make up the kind of
minds they wanted. "It is said,"
she continued, "that our young peo
ple are going back on Christianity
I don't agree with that."
