Buds are swelling on tree and bush and vine; the season has been late, and the cold winds of an unusually frosty April have held back the processes of nature, hut now they are well und^r way. Tender leaves of delicate green are ready to unroll and spread their' screen between earth and sky, promising a shade jhat will be most grateful when summer's fervor has succeeded to spring’s gentle coyness. But the real marvel, the thing that surpasses all the rest, is the blossoming, the bringing forth of the seed that in its turn will renew the growth of the tree. Cottonwood and maple will first mature their fruit, and soon the seeds will flutter from the ex ploding pods of the one or come slipping gently down from the other, each provided with wing or down for traveling purposes. The cottonw'ood seed, borne by its bit of fluffy down, may travel far, the maple with its wing that is more of a rudder covers a less distance, but it travels, and the tendency of both these trees is to spread. Nature has her own way of taking care of these matters. Not all these germs of tree life come to activity ' Millions are scattered to where one takes root and fiecomes a tree. Christ told those who heard Him of the sow^r who went forth to scatter seeds. Some tell on «tony ground, some where thorns sprang up j and choked the good growth, but some fell on good ground. Where this was true, there came about , another great miracle. Out of that little hit of vegetable matter sprang up a shoot that in turn be came a forest giant. It is difficult to look at a . great spruce tree, eight-or ten feet -.n diameter at the stump, and towering 300 or more feet into the air, and realize that it started in a seed not much larger than the head of a pin, yet it did, and the actual germ of life in that seed is so small that a powerful microscope’is needed to see it at all. A little lesson is contained in this. We seatter about us words and acts, just as the cottonwood | aroadcasts its seed in the early summer. We do 1 not always consider the effect; yet out of the mul titude of words and deeds of daily life is made up the happiness or misery of mankind. The geruj is li them, and seme of them fall on good ground. None cafi tell what his part in the life of another j >, what influence Jic has in the world. •Each does ; in some measure affect the lives of all about him, and through his touch with others extends his per- ; sonality until all who live feel him in some way. Look at the things nature holds out to you this day, and realize that the symbolism of that growth is speaking to you in tones from the throne^ of the Most High. Not in the thunder that rolled down from Sinai, hut in the-eloquence of a sweet pleader — "Noiselessly ns the springtime Her crown of verdure weaves. And the trees upon the hill sides ripen their thousand leaves." Nature is telling you today of God’s eternal plan, and that you are part of it, and the things that you do make or mar the great design, as you do them well or ill. “The woods were God’s first temple,” and nowhere in the world are more impressive ser mons spoken than are taught by the tree.? today. LETTERS THAT REALLY FLY. When Ben Franklin was made postmaster gen- j eral, some years since, it was because he had had experience in Penr.^-1Vania's colonial service, and knew something of the problems it involved. 1 One of his big jobs was to keep the mails moving, on foot or horseback, by stage coach, sailing vessels or canal , boat. Hi» record shows that he did a prety good ( job of it, too. What, we would like to know is just what the , great philosopher, statesman anil philanthropist would say if he read that between May, 1918, when the service was established, and January 1, 1923, the flyers of the air mail service had covered 15.281,383 miles in flight, one-third of the trips being made through storms of rain. hail, sleet or snow? At this rate within 30 years th" flyers will have gone far enough to reach the sun. although it is hardly possible 3 letter ever will he delivered there. However, if it We will predict it will be by a l cited States ait mail flyer. Last year over 00,000,000 letters were delivered by air mail, and the number is increasing every day, so that (he total f■»r the current year will be much larger. Reliability may he judged from the fact that over the five-year period the service has operated more than 90 per rent perfect. When everything ilse was in a jant in and around Omaha on account of the big storm in March, the air ma.l went ahead on schedule. These are not “stunt” flyers; they do their stuff in the same methodical way that, the farmer adopts in hitching his team to the plow. Each is a picked man, devoted to the service, but together they arc making a record that will answer in time even the Kansas congressman (who moves each year to strike out the appropriation for the air mail. JONAS CHICKERINGS SERVICE TO MAN In Boston Inst night a distinguished group of American citizens, leaders in politics, business, art and literature, sat down to celebrate an event that may have escaped general attention. In fact, so many things have happened since then that the citi zen is to be excused if he does not recall that in 1823 Jonas Chickering sold his first piano, nth'ei pianos had been made and sold in America; Jona. learned the trade of piano building in Boston. Yet he brought to the trade a genius that lifted instrument to its high place among musical instru nients. He invented the iron frame, that enables the grand piano- to stand the enormous strain of its strings; he devised the method of overstringing, by which the bass strings arc brought closer to the sounding board, ami he mnde many other improve ments serving to crown witii glory the instrument he loved so well, and to put within reach of the present day performer* the means of accomplishing effects they never could have attained otherwise. Millions of- American homes are brighter be cause the pianos in them possess the inventions of Jonas (’tuckering. Celebrations aw planned f..r many gatherings in honor of the man during thi: centennial year of his work. I MERCY AND HEALING THEIR MISSION. Somewhere in Omaha this morning a woman is passing through the pain of travail, going into the very Valley of the Shadow, that she may realize .woman’s highest destiny, the glory of motherhood. Her home is not fitted with those comforts that lessen the suffering and terror of this trying hour. Its furnishings are meager, its equipment scanty, and there is a lack of many things that are desir able on such occasions. Yet that woman is fortunate, for beside the bed is another, plainly garbed in a uniform that desig nates her as one of that heroic band who follow the profession of nursing. Her strong, skilled hands supplement the professional attentions of the doc tor, an(I soon the mother revives, and welcomes the tiny morsel of humanity, gently laid in her waiting arms, neatly swaddled, clean and hearty. The room is tidied, all is set to rights, final instructions are given, particularly where to call if help is needed, and the nurse prepares to leave. Watch her when she pins on her hat. On the ribbon you will see “V N. A.” It may be a tuberculosis case, or a fever patient, or a child down with some dangerous ailment of childhood, a mao laid low by a terrible mishap—any one of the long list of dreadful things that overtake and in capacitate people. The same woman, or one of her sister workers, will be there, giving the tender care that has saved many a life since the Visiting Nurse Association took up its great (ask of looking after those who otherwise will not be looked after. In the course of the year 1922 Visiting Nurses made 49,958 calls on 0,770 cases. Rather a busy year, wasn’t it? Twenty cases and 137 calls a day show that the nurses who wear those hat bands or armlets were not loafing on the job during 1922. Also, the record shows that Omaha has need for the Visiting Nurse. The work of the nurse doesn't end when the baby is born, washed, dressed and given back to the mother. Oh, no; that is only the beginning. The Visiting Nurse teaches that mother and hundreds I ke her how to take care of the baby, distributes ice , and mi.k during the summer season (readers of The Omaha Bee know about this, for they have gen erously provided for the service), and sees that the ' little one has a fair chance to grow up. The Visiting Nurse also combats tuberculosis and similar diseases, instructs adults how to avoid contagion, and how to rear boys and girls in safety. A lot of space could be used up in following these active worfien on their daily rounds. Twenty-one of them are now engaged on the staff in addition to the office force, and all arc busy every day in the year. r This week the Visiting Nurse Association of ' Omaha will ask for subscriptions to a fund needed ta support the work during the remainder of the year, a total of $25,000 being sought. 1 his is the ' last drive of the organization, for after January 1, 1924, tt will be financed through the Community Chest. Until then it needs the money to carry on j its great work. Generous Omaha has hitherto pro- , v.ded the means.^and it is out of all reason to sug gest that anything less than 100 per rent of the amount asked will be given this time. __' . ONE GREAT SEASON OF CONCORD Omaha is drawing near the end of what in tjiany ways is the most remarkable season of music it pvrr has had. More concerts and recitals have been given than ever in a single season, the most notable of the world’s artists have appeared here, and the attendance has been such as gives to the visitors the correct impression of the city’s greatness. Each of the programs has been listened to hy a large audience, anti on several occasions the huge mu nicipal auditorium has been packed to its capacity. I Several reasons may be assigned as accounting for this fact, and in the end it will doubtless appear that all have contributed in some way to the result. Omaha's population is larger, and the music pre sented has been of a quality to draw people in from the surrounding country. Then the musical tastes ! of the local public have been maturing, and 'there 1 now exists a considerable group of genuinely musi cal people, tliOFO to whom the art appeals suf ficiently strong to bring them out to hear any of the great ones who present the truly worth while. Th's is a tribute to the cultural advancement of the Community, and deserves to he well noted Many who in former years found their pleasure at the theater, no longer given that source of entertain ment, have turned to music and have swelled the throngs who have packed whatever auditorium was selected for the presentation of the concert or re cital. All of these things and others have united to give Omaha a first rate place on the musical map, and greatly encourage those who have worked with vim to give the city what it so evidently needed Such organizations as the Tuesday Musical, the Business and Professional Women’s club, the Frignds of Music, and all who have been interested in the achievement are an asset that any city might feel proud of, for they have given a worthy standing to leal art, the effect of which will not he without in fluence on the life of the whole community. REAL ADVENTURES OF LIFE X — Every now and then somebody sets up a wail because there is no romance or adventure left in life. This is because they have had an overdose of ancient history. Every issue of the modern news paper is filled with romance, with high adventure, but these are not always discovered, because they are hidden under tfir prosaic wording of a brief news item. For example: Nine persons were marooned on an island in Lake Michigan. Ice gorged around so that ordinary methods of communication were rut o(T. Food and other supplies were needed, mid here comes the airplane. It doesn't sound like much of ;.n adventure to tly a Tew miles out over the lake, drop a few packages of food on the island, and then fly back to safety. Yet four nirplifnea were wrecked j making the attempt, hut the food vvus finally fur ' nishecl the stifTyrers. That simple little thing, just a part of the worka day world, holds all the elements of devotion as truly as any tale of rescue ever put over by Sir Launeelot or Robin Hood. In fact, those chaps were piker* when compared to what is being done by the knight* , of today, who wear overalls and coats lined with sheepskin instead of rosily suits of mail, chased and Inlaid with gold. Do not he overcome with gi icf because life seems so prosaic ami matter of fact. \ny well got ten up newspaper contains ample antidote for such a mood. If the Vgislature gets through th * week, it will have to work fast or leave a lot of things undone. The marathon dancer, like the map who thaws ' dynamite, usunlly anlwers hi« nwii question | Clara Phillips still furnishes front page stuff. r — Out of Today's Sermons_ "The Sahballi, the Bulwark of Our Moral and Religious Well Being,” is the topic of the morn ing sermon of Kev. Bussell Taylor, at tlie St. Paul Presbyterian church, who takes for Ills text Mark 2:27-28. "And he said unto them, 'the Sab bath was made for,man, and not man for the Sabbath: Therefore the Hon of man Is Lord also of the Habbuth." He said: Sabbath primarily means, rest. That mankind should devote one sev enth of its days to r st In order that it might be best fitted for the tasks of life is written in all human history Experiences, like the one in France during the reign of atheistic ten dencies when the week was lengthened to 10 days have always proven detri mental and have ultimately been abandoned. Some one who has studied well the tendances of the times, has recently said, "This age must either have Christ or chaos." These words only epitomize the prevailing thought of the serious minded In every important na tion today With this thought (n mind Is It not well to recall the words, "The Son of man Is Lord also of the Sabbath?" Since He is Lord of this day, has he not the right to demand that It be kept according to his will? And we need only to follow Him through the glimpses we get of him from the time he was 12'years of age to his death to know what his will was concsrnlng the keeping of this day. - There is no greater menace to out moral welfare than the encroachments that are being made upon our historic American Sunday. The exhaustive pleasure seeking Sunday of European nations is fast blotting out the tradi tional American Sunday which has been the means thus far of sustaining our moral standards. We Weep and wall about the crime wave that Is upon us And this aspect becomes all the more alarming when it Is stated on reliable authority, that since the war crime has Increased 30 per cent In one of our large cities, and that 85 per cent of that crime is by boys under 21 years of age. And what is still more significant Is that a prominent New York judge says: "Our crime is committed almost wholly by those whom the Sunday sohool does not reach. Of the thou sands of cases before me in the last 16 yeaM there has been only one of f*-ndci^Bctivc]y connected with the Sunda^^chool." "Remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy.” This is a divine law It is not based merely upon human expediency. Neither can it be ruth lessly set aside with impunity. In a perlnjJ of our national life when Sunday was more particularly observed than it Is psl.-iy, IV Tocque vllle. a celebrated publicist of France, after observing one of our Sundays said to the Hon. John c. Spencer. Mi Spencer, France must have your American Sahhath or she Is ruined " And when a gentleman asked the late Professor Agassiz. "What was the thing altove all whioh most struck you In coming to this country?” the gfeat naturalist said, "Your American observance of the l-ord's day.” Ood grant ’hat America may recover her self from her present tendency towards Sabbath desecration to the end thnt should men of like char acters he moved to express themselves ir. days to come their testimony may be as commendatory ns was that of the men just mentioned. "The Church at Work" Is the topic this morning of K. K. Rag. ley. pastor Caetelar Presbyterian rhurelt, who will say: The highest compliment ever paid the rare of men *a« not the lnearna t|nn which was "fjod la-coming man." but was the fact that Christ -com mltted to the hands of men the un finished task in which He engggpd The effectual a.-complishment of this task necessitated the organization of groups. mt%e or less closely associ ated. known in their entirety as the Christian church. The work of the church today far outstrips the greatest enterprises of its nearest competitors In the world of "Pig Business " The thing to which she is commute,| ]H nothing short of the control of human notion It is not hy might nor temporal power, but by the force of Ideas and examples of holy living that she ex poets to accomplish 'his thing The ehurch ha* been robbed of her Clorv In hri.f period* of her history bv her own failure tn keep alive either the idea of personal righteousness or serial nervine.

We have been "slow to be lieve” the church equld do these wonderful things, hut the command comes anew, "Eaunoh out Into the deep!" With firm faith the church obeys tl. command, confidently mov ing out to touch the life of all lands throughout all ages to come. Kcv. Albert Kuhn, pastor of Itethany Presbyterian church, touches in today's sermon upon the ever widening scope of the activities of the Christian church. lie wilt say in parti The church recognizes more and more how complex life is and how in tlmatHy the myriad different parts of It are connected and mutually In terdependent. Her special task is the I festering of the spiritual part in every ‘ phase of life. And that is a mighty | broad task. j It Involves appreciation on the part ! of the church of every field of human i activities, from A to Z. from agtlcul ture and anatomy and aviation to Zionism and zoology. Because all of life is either sinful or Saintly, ac cording to the spirit which pervades It. and because the church is the am bassador of God to all lift, It is the church's business to mind everybody’s business. It is as much her business that the butcher does not put spoiled meat Into the sausage and that the democrats put up a decent fellow for sheriff as that ttha preacher sticks to his text. The mistake of the churches is not , that they dabble in too many things, that they poke their nose Into mat ters that do not concern them and neglect to tend to their own knitting The mistake lies In sometimes giving the wrong Job to the wrong man and In taking too narrow a view of life. | What we need In the churches Is a more thorough division of labor Every consecrated man, woman and child Is a wheel In the machine of the church and every one ought to ; be piy to that work for which he or she # cut out. There ought to be as many departments In church ac- : tivitles as there are fields of human endeavor: every department should have its generals, its captains, Its privates. Here are, to name only a few. fields of labor for the church: The depart ment of public amusement, the de partment of elementary education, the deportment of university education the deportment of industrial employ - ment. the department n0 Industrial conciliation, the department of child delinquency, the deportment of pub lie health, the department of Chris tian missions, the department of theology, the department of interna tlonal peace, the department of dra matle art. the department of music— why, I could fill a newspaper with the names only of the fields that are legitimately and necessarily the con cern of the church. In a field of activities that large and diversified there Is work for every , taste and every caliber of man. and It Is your task *o find, and the church's task to help you to find.

(Seal) Notary Pubic — When the Flapper Goes to School Smite Motes for Morrnal Teachers as to If hat the Girls Are Uoiitf' -By EDITH HI KE. □RESENT day "flappers" are no*, held In disrepute by all thinkevs of today, ns is shown by the statement made by Dean H. H. Hnhn of jhe Wayne State Teachers’ college, tha,t "the modern flapper' is a pretty good prospect for a good woman” The co-cd and the 20th century boy furnish themes for many nooks, maga zine and nowspuper stoties and dis tuicsions In women's clubs among college faculties, at luncheons, teas and banquets. The girl of today, is • f former days, Is the center of most of the dlscoufse. Young men and women Interest the thinking public because they are the budding citizens The modern "flapper” is condemn'd and seldom praised by the elder gen erations for her habits her styles of dress, her jaunty Independence and the type of amusement she chooses Men and women of a few vears^ago often regard the present day girl as frivolous and Incompetent. She does differ from the miss ot earlier days, her superiority or Inferiority to her predecessor being a debatable ques tion. To make the statement given above Is taking a stand which is en couraglng because of Its favoring the "flapper” and because of Its being the opinion of one who thinks profoundly. When asked hts views of the "flap per," President V*. S Conn replied. "I am not sure 1 know just what a modern flapper Is, but I presume she In a,young woman who has no serious notions about life, who has a brain but does not u*e it very much, who lives mostly for excitement and a good time, who chews gum wears short hair and short skirts Part of them get over It and It doesn’t matter about the rest of them." Students are younger nowadays than a few years ago. Most Instruc tors agree In this statement. Children In the grades and high' schools are pusher] ahead and the more aggressive ones are graduated at an earlier age. They thus reach , college when younger, ah a genera! rule, people are better fixed financially and can afford to send their children through college, changing tb- former policy of earning one's wav through or not going at all Young folks expect more these days from their parent*. This attitude on the part of students is one criticism not In thej- favor Facts 1-ear out the statement that the per rentage of students being graduated now is higher than previously. Of course more young folks are in school because of increased school facilities and better financial conditions • • • The number of wdrnen In schorl ex reeds the number of men President Conn state* that he does noi, consider "this is any Indication of greater in terest, but is so because the girls have mor<> leisure time and. as s re sult. attend school. Had*the girls the - ime opportunity for employment as that offered to men fewer would at. tend school " In 1911 there were 539 students In the Wayne school and the class graduated that year included one girl and two boys The number of student* in th s school during the school year of 1921 22 was 1.394. and of those graduated gs were girls and 22 were boys As to which is the better student, the girl or the boy. another fjuestlon Is raia-d As a general rule, most people consider the scholarship aver age of the girl* above that of the fcovs. Statistic* usuallv hear out the •'aterhent that the girls surpass, but the average generally Is not as far • head of the boys as one is Inclined to think. For example, grades In a few of the classes at the Warns Nor • rnnl school are as follows: t olleg. English, the boys average being <7 . i per cent ami the girls' S3: chemistry, 74 for the boys and S2 for the girls: i college algebra. So for the boys and 82 for the girls: • psychology. 88 for .both boys aid girls, observation and | methods. SO for boys and 8.1 for girls, j i According to President Conn, ••gener ally young men study mathematics and science in preference to language lor literature.'' Miss Elsie Kord Piper, dean of wo | men in the school, would separate stu- | i dents Into two classes: Those who, seek facts for the knowledge and; (those who have nn indefinite purpose. ■ carelessly working only for credit There Is. she states, a tendency among the latter tvpe to take up the easy , subjects The more serious students of today spend their leisure time In rca-Hng the less serious ones spend theirs In dancing and attending then ters. is another of Miss Piper's views To her the ideals of present day stu dents seem to lag somewhat behind | those of former generation • • • Dean Hahn etate* that most of the student* in th*. normal *chool study the regular required course, as most are preparing to be teacher*. He thinks there la not a predominant tendency toward th# eaay subject*, but atu dent*, for their elective work, chooae ' ahat In which they are Interested To day "there Is less conventionality , (among young folks and moral stand arda are higher than they ever were." according to Dean Hahn. Student* ] spend their leisure, time, he aays. to 1 as great advantage as any students of the past "The sport world has a much larger place In the life of the young and thla of course detracts some from the studies. In years past voung folks were taught to study most of the time. Now, with Improved methods of study, not so much time Is required on the lessons and more Is spent In outsfce activities. Not sc much time is spent in the school work, hut mor» Is accomplished and stu dents are more Independent. Students are more healthy today than in any other generation. Of the average of lf’0 young women a year whom Miss Piper has chaperoned for the past 12 years, hut three have died, and these three passed away after they had left school. The advance ment In laws of health and the better homes are thought to be largely re > sponsible for the more healthy young folk's. Athletics and other recreation , also help. "Ninety-nine per cent of those who attend normal school teach or be com# horn# makers " according to Dean Hahn Miss Piper states that TO per cent of the young women who receive degree* from colleges never marry. This statement is based on statistics from universities, hut the firs* statement is l«sed on the history 1 of students from the smaller schools r<t course the nture of the college mak‘-s a difference in this conclusion. State normal schools are trailing teachers, a larger percentage of shorn are women.
