It is a common experience of men, when in middle life they turn from evil conduct to fol low religious principles that their professions meet with incredulity and their good works are regarded as hypocrisy. It is a penalty men fay for their sinful ways after they have abandoned -them. , Jacob was a truly religious man in hi3 later life. He had abundantly shown his love of righteousness, and had achieved a great place in the ranks of the pious men of his race, when God gave him His blessing. He "died happy" and peacefully at the age of 147. But in his early years he did many things 'that look bad in Old Testament history. The favorite son of a tricky mother, he flim-flammed . his brother Esau out of his birthright, taking a contemptibly mean advantage of him with a mess of fragrant pottage when Esau got home from a bunting trip faint with hunger, and thinking he was about to die. Later, led on by the deceitful Rebekah, his mother, he fraudulently got his father Isaac's blessing, which justly belonged to Esau, by lying chicanery. Upon learning of this second wicked strategem Esau set out to kill Jacob, who fled , to escape his w rath. He went to his uncle Laban, down in Padan-aram, who received him 'kindly, but later gave him a dose of his own medicine. After Jacob had served Laban seven years to get his daughter Rachel, the crafty Laban, anxious to marry his elder daughter first, palmed off the sore-eyed Leah on his nephew under cover of darkness. In the lan guage of Genesis the bitter truth of that tor menting wreck of fond hopes is thus expressed: "And it came toj pass, that in the morning, be hold, it was Leah!" But after another seven years Jacob got Rachel at last, and had two wives. He was get ting rich also, by the celebrated trick at his uncle's expense, that of: the ringstraked, speckled and spotted cattle an exploit which, like much of Jacob's domestic life at a time when marriage permitted many things now for bidden as grossly immoral and unfaithful, is not proper to set down in detail here. Finally, Jacob ran away from his uncle Laban as he did from his brother Esau, when Laban learned bow he was being looted of his cattle. We can imagine what the gossips said of him after he started going straight, and what their prophesies of his end must have been. But with all this bad record Jacob was able finally to set his house in order before he was gathered to his fathers, and to win the respect of his people and the approval of God. But he left a lot of sons who had given him all sorts of trouble all but Joseph and Benjamin. How ever, that's another story his fortune away once over nine-tenths of it to Christians, by the way, and only a tenth to those of his own faith. Wealth, after it accumulates to a greater amount than is necessary for the comfort of the man who owns it and those dependent upon him, becomes a liability. It is concentrated power and responsibility, two things most aged men cease to enjoy. It is not surprising that many of them desire to be rid of what has become a burden and a tax on their strength. Future Fuel for Autos. Spasmodic rises in the selling price of gaso line give the owners of cars shivers from time to time, but the more serious phase of the problem is not involved in the cost. It isl the supply that really deserves most attention. The Scientific American has made a careful survey and offers some facts that are rather startling. One of these is that for every car run by one barrel of gasoline in 1909 there are now three; for every car run from a given bulk of pe troleum in 1909, there are now nine. The im proved processes by which gasoline 1s ex tracted have brought the yield per unit of oil ' up to three and one-half times what it was eleven years ago, but the limit in this regard is practically reached. Therefore, the solution of the problem presented by the rapidly extending use of the motor-driven vehicle is the discovery of new supplies of oil or of a new fuel The Scientific American points put, as has The Bee on several former occasions, that alcohol is available as a source of power. It is readily used, even in existing engines, and in slightly modified machines is almost as serviceable and at present prices quite as economical as gaso line. Another recourse will be the adoption of ; the Diesel or a similar type engine, in which 'heavy lubricating oil, irotn which no gasoline is available, may be employed. Either of these, or perhaps both, offer-the release of the motor in- ' dustry from restriction to which the mounting cost and vanishing supply of the popular fuel threatens to put. on it. , Important Methodist Events. After agitation extending back through five general conferences, the representatives of the Methodist Episcopal church last week, by a practically unanimous vote, decided to elect two colored bishops. On the announcement of the vote the great body rose and fervently sang the "Battle Hymn of the Republic." New Orleans and some city in Georgia will become the episcopal centers of the colored "confer ences. This radical change, it is thought, postpones fat a generation or two, if not forever, all chance of union with the Methodist Church South. The south does not yet see the negro race as ever other than menial. , Another big change effected last week was the elimination of the missionary bishops and their election as full bishops. The result of this will likely be that the new bishops to be elected this week will be sent to areas in China, India, South America, Africa and Europe. Apparently the promising movement for a modification of the church rule on amusements has been checked under peculiar circumstances. A prominent Philadelphia Mtthodist who has been in the front of that agitation, let it slip out that he had persuaded the dancing masters' convention to memorialize the conference for a change in the rule. The information gave the delegates a chill. The suggestion that the Meth odist church should follow the advice of pro fessional dancing masters aroused visions of shimmying Methodists that would not down, and a wave of opposition to the modification of the anti-dancing rule has seemingly engulfed the conference. However, Bishop Berry is quoted as saying "no action of this conference should surprise anybody, as it reflects the widespread radicalism of these after-war days." . - v . Pounds, Shillings and Pence. Nothing more luminously indicates the sta bility of English character than the tenacity with which it clings to the system of money denominations represented by 'L. S. D." Its growth through centuries of development is in terwoven with the political advance of the peo ple, who have come up through a series of re markable experiences to .a peculiar condition under which old forms are made to square with modern ideas, and from which flow such bless ings of stability in government as meet the needs of an homogenous people It is not surprising, therefore, to learn that a majority of the royal commission appointed in August, 1918, to in quire into the advisability of adopting a decimal system of coinage for the United Kingdom re ports "against the advisability of making any change in the denomination of the currency and money of account of the United Kingdom with a view to placing them on a decimal system," for these reasons: . (1) In any scheme for reducing the exist ing system to a decimal basis the pound ster ling should be retained. (2) The pound and "mil" fone-thousandth part of 1 scheme is the only strongly sup ported scheme which complies with this con dition. m . . (3) The advantage to be gained by a change to the. pound and "mil" scheme as re gards keeping accounts is in no way1 com mensurate with the loss of the convenience of the existing system for other purposes. : (4) Grave difficulties will be created by any alteration of the penny. (5) The scheme can not be tried as an ex periment or on a voluntary basis. . Therefore foreigners will still be puzzled when dealing with values expressed in terms of English money,. doing mental arithmetic in the effort needed to reduce pounds, shillings and pence to terms of dollars and cents, francs, marks, or other money that rest on decimals. uTuppence" is a sacred thing to John Bull, just as is that little bit of aged and discolored parch ment that remains yet from the great sheet that was signed at Runnymede.

What is in the name "ouija?" Nothing but the French and German words for "yes." Oui, oiri, nods the Frenchman. "Ja, ja," says the German. Having had quite enough of the yes yes . board, will some genius invent a no no board that will put an end to the craze? Practical Help to Workers. Very recently. a disclosure was made that the records of real estate transactions in the Pittsburgh district indicated that the workers in the coal mines and steel mills were rapidly becoming home owners. This was hastily seized upon by some as proof of the fact that high wages were assisting workingmen to be come independent." Even that is a consumma tion devoutly to be wished. . Further inquiry, however, has developed that, back of 'the move ment is something more practical and definite than the high wages, most of which is con sumed by the demands of h. c. of 1. The big employers of the region have realized that one of their problems is the proper housing of the men who work in their plants. To meet this a plan- of helpfulness has been adopted, and the companies are financing the men in their home building operations. Wherever a man can make payment oi 10 per cent of the estimated cost of the house he wants, the company employing him provides the rest of the money needed, and makes arrangement for the future by enabling its employe to discharge his debt in easy in stallments. Here is the most sensible step yet taken in the direction of solving the housing problem as well as helping the worker to better his condition in life. Such a plan might well be adopted generally. It is a much better way of employing surplus' capital than is offered by stock dividends. J Even Riches Become Tiresome. The old Hebrew saying, "What you give in health is gold; what you give in sickness is silver; what you give after death is iron," is quoted by Nathan Straus, the New York phil anthropist, in an interview" in which he says it is his ambition to die a poor man, for then "I shall be rich in happiness and good works." Like Carnegie, he believes it a disgrace to die rich. Food and a home, work and play, are 'for' rich and poor alike, he thinks, after giving Repartee at Dinner. Adam was giving a dinner in honor of his ninth generation. Cain was over from N'odbury with his famous grandson, Tubal-cain, an in structor of every artificer in brass and iron; and also Lamcch with his pair of handsome wives, Adah and Zillaii. Adam spied the uxorious plurality. "How's this'?" said he. "Two wives! Isn't one enough?" With rare resourcefulness Lamech replied: "Why, grandpa, a mere bagatelle. Just think what a wonderful collection Solomon will have 1" Nonplussed by the aptness of the retort, Adam ordered Eve to lay another plate. This incident illustrates, how early men learned to pass the buck. A Line 0'Type or Two Mew t tae Lie. M U eels Ml af taw au. POETIZING. , This morning when I woke I lay a bed, Changing some verses written ere I slept, Till all my thoughts in that one channel swept; And such a hunt went forward in my head, Such careful hurry, while the sought words fled Ever before me, and like phantoms kept Almost within my reach, L could have wept To think I should put others in their stead. Than I grew calm, and rose and combed my hair.

"Mr. Rurchas in his Pilgrimage re lateth, while the Portugals were busie in build ing a fort in the Kingdom of Decan, belonging to Asia, there came a certain Bengalan to the Governour, which had lived, as he affirmed, three hundred thirtyflve years. His Teeth had sometimes fallen out, others growing in their places; and his Beard, after it had been very hoary, by degrees returned irto his former black ness." Or consider the case of one who was alive in 1605 (Fryar Joano dos Santos tells the story), of whom the Bishop of .Cochin had sent men to inquire, who by, diligent search found that he was then 380 yearn old, and had mar ried many times. They said his Teeth had thrice fallen out and were thrice renewed; his Hair thrice hoary, and as often black again. Then there was a Scottish minister in North umberland named Michael Vivan, a person who may give just matte. of Admiration both to the present and future Ages. Dr. Fuller mentions him and so does Wm.

He answered me distinctly, and told me he understood the News-book reported his Hair to become a dark brown again, but that !s false; he took his Cap off. and shewed me it: It is come again like a Child's, but rather flaxen, than either brown or gray" ALFRED BULL.

Just north of Chicago lies Evan ston, a beautiful residential suburb and home' of -Northwestern- univer sity. There is a city . there because in the long ago Dr. John Evans and Mr. Orrington Lunt thought a cer tain oak forest located on the bank of Lake Michigan, 12 miles from the turmoil and smoke of Chicago, would be an ideal home for the new university. It is well paved, clean, and inhabited by intellectual people. Did it need an infant welfare sta tion? perish the thought! But the group of young mothers thought they knew better, and were per sistent. They argued that Evanston, having been on the "underground railroad" in slavery davs. Had al ways had a large negro population, and the infant mortality rate among negroes was high. They pointed out a rather large colony of foreign-born located 'in one edge of town and working in nearby factories. Finally the more conservative lent their consent. A branch of the Chicago Infant Welfare society, formed in Evanston to -supply an infant welfare station in Chicago, was supported 'n open ing a station in Evanston. Soon both the need and good accomplish ed were apparent. It had its doctor, its clinic days, and its nurses for home visiting. It reached the homes of the foreign-born and the negroes, as was promised. But its influence did hot stop there. , There are plenty of universities, colleges, and seminaries teaching the sciences and arts, but the supply of institutions teaching mothercraft is small. The rule is that when a wo man marries and starts her family she knows no mothercraft, however many university degrees she holds. Her mother has given) her .some in struction, but nobody is' satisfied with the baby death rate of 30 years ago. Institutions in which the only euide is nreeedent are hidebound and nonprogressrVe. An infant welfare station is for the purpose of advising With the mothers of well babies on the art qf keeping the baby well. They are schools of mothercraft practical schools. It was soon apparent that there was a place for a school of mother craft in this high grade university town. . The ladies of the Infant Wel fare society counseled with the health commissioner, the mayor, and the city council. The city council, with the approval of the mayor and health commissioner, decided that infant welfare was a function of the city government. The city should maintain the infant welfare stations, The ladies were willing. The city assumed charge of the work and the ladies had to cast about for a new burden. That they will find one goes without saying. The city will make tne station a place to ward off baby .diseases and to help mothers who find baby care difficult. But. more important still, they will develop it into a mother craft institution reaching more or less indirectly into all kinds of homes. Evanston having led the way, other high class residential cities will doubtless follow suit. Some Possible Remedies. A.
