U. S. Birth Rate at High
Of 20.5 Per Thousand
WASHINGTON —The stork dodged
combat planes to bring to She United
States this year this country's all-
time record number of babies.
The U. S. census bureau reported
that the birth rate for the first 10
months of the year was 20.5 per
thousand of population, as compared
With 18.9 in 1941.
The birth rate has been rising
qfnee 1934. The year previous to
that—one of the worst in the de-
pression era—it had dropped to 16.6,
lowest point in a 100-year decline.

over them as He made Himself
known to them. They went
I. From Fear to Gladness (vv.
19, 20).
Their eyes had been upon their
enemies and they were afraid. Now
they “were glad, when they saw
the Lord.” We need to learn that
lesson. If we look within we are
ashamed and discouraged. If we
look around us we are confused and
fearful. If we look to Christ we
are glad and strong.
Notice that their joy was not based
only on an emotional impulse. "They
saw Christ in His resurrection
body—the very One who had died.
The evidence was there before them.
Now’ they could understand the
things He had said to them. The
whole realm of spiritual truth was
now in focus again, and they were
glad. So are we when we really see
Christ.
II. From Weakness to Strength
(vv. 21-23).
The disciples who were called to
be witnesses for Christ had lost their
testimony when He died on the cross.
Unbelief and discouragement had so
weakened them that they were in
hiding instead of being out proclaim-
ing His truth.
Now the risen and victorious One
sent them forth with the Father’s
blessing. They were empowered by
the Holy Spirit, and given great au-
thority (v. 23). Note that it was
given not to one man or to the lead-
ers, but to all the disciples. It was
“a declarative right, and it belongs ]
to every true disciple. Those who ,
have received the gift of the Holy I
Spirit are in a position to declare ;
to men that their sincere repentance j
brings forgiveness” (Douglass). The
opposite is also true.
IIL From Doubt to Faith (w. 24-
28).
Thomas, who had doubts and who
cultivated them by his stubborn at-
titude (v. 25), did himself and his
brethren a serious disservice by be-
ing absent from the meeting on the
evening of the first Easter Day.
When he did appear he had only
doubts to contribute. Let those who
make a custom of absenting them-
selves from the place and hour of
service beware lest they do like-
wise.
His doubts were honest ones—and
God always meets such questions,
honestly and intelligently. When the
evidence was before him, the heart
of Thomas leaped the chasm from
doubt to faith in one cry of com-
plete devotion (v. 28).
It is significant that down through
the ages many doubters have been
won to Christ by the proof of
the resurrection of Christ, which is
by the testimony of historical schol-
ars “the best authenticated fact in
all history.” The risen Christ stands
before men today and says, “Be not
faithless but believing.” May many
respond with Thomas, “My Lord
arid my God.”
IV. From Death to Life (vv. 29-
31).
Christ arose from the dead not
just to show that He had power to
do so, but, as Paul1 puts it, “for
our justification” (Rom. 4:25). The
reality and dependability of the en-
tire plan of salvation hinged oh the
return of Christ from the dead.
Had the grave held Him, His claims
of deity and of the ability to for-
give sin would have been entirely
discredited. Because He lives we
shall live.
The experience of regeneration is
therefore likened in Scripture to a
passing from death to life (John
5:24). Thomas saw the Lord, and
believing, passed from doubt to
faith. We cannot see Him now, but
we have the blessed privilege of be-
lieving and thus receiving life (vv.
29, 31).
This was the mssage'which the
now radiant and empowered disci-
ples went out to preach. The book
of Acts tells us how effectively they
did it, and shows how much of their
preaching centered on the fact cf
the resurrection.
The command and the commis-
sion was not to them alone, but
also to all of us who believe in
Christ. May God take out of us tht
fear of men, overcome our weak
ness, and Bend us eut with renewed
faith to make thia life-giving mea-
aage known to our fellow men.

U. S. Infantry Battalion
“I have never had more whole-
hearted, serious-minded co-opera-
tion from any troops than I receive
from my present command,” was
the statement received by the war
department from Lieut, ©oj. Far-
rant L. Turner.
This statement was considered
worthy of official release not be-
cause it differs from the feeling that
most commanding officers have
about their present outfits, but be- j
cause it doesn't. The outfit in ques- ;
tion is the 100th fnfa t y battalion
composed of men of Japanese an-
cestry.
Postwar Period May Bring
Chance to Trade in Homes
After the war you m;iy be able to
turn in your eht house for a later
model, just as you have been turn-
ing in your old car for a new one.
Harry G. Guthmann. professor of
finance at Northwestern university,
predicts. This interesting possibility
is the result of the wartime develop-
ment of demountable prefabricated
houses.
“It is possiblesaid Professor
Guthmann, "that World War II may

Six soldiers of the 100th caused
quite a furore in Washington one
week-end when they registered at
one of the hotels. A hotel clerk be-
came suspicious and called army in-
telligence, reporting "some Japs
dressed as American soldiers.”
Wars Stimulate Women’s
Activities in Chemistry
The scope of opportur ities for
women in chemistry is almost un-
limited. Dr. Helen I. Miner of Wayne
university declares. Surveying the
Detroit area, Dr. Miner finds that,
while three years ago the majority
of women chemists were engaged in
teaciung or medical research, today
a larger proportion is represented in
the fields of industry and medicine
and the number is limited by the
supply rather than the demand.
“Conclusion of tht? war will not
contract this extended horizon for
women chemists,” Dr. Miner as-
serts. “In the reconstruction period
which must follow there still will be
acute needs for trained Americans
of both sexes ebd of varied racial
backgrounds to go abroad to assist
in the multitude of problems—nutri-
tional, medical, agricultural, and in-
dustrial—which must be solved in
winning the peace.”
World War I provided the initial
stimulus for the first large-scale par-
ticipation in scientific endeavor by
women, Dr. Miner points out. “In
1918 the number of women chetn-
lsts in the American Chemical so-
ciety more than tripled the 1914 fig-
ure and enrollments in medical and
scientific courses in the universities
throughout this country were great-
ly increased.”
Flamingo Dirt
A special diet, devised to prevent
red flamingos at the New York Zo-
ological park in the Bronx from fad-
ing to a pale pink, is proving suc-
cessfi^l not only for the red flamin-
gos but also is starting to tinge the
normally white feather* of other
flamingos a light red. The diet was
introduced in August after the zoo
acquired four bright ted flamingos
from the Hialeah race track, in
Miami, Fla. Other red flamingos,
upon exposure to New York's en-
vironment, had always faded to a
light pink, barely distinguishable
from white. Addition of special vita-
mins and oils to the mashed “game
food” and rice customarily fed
to the birds supplied the new diet.

Marines Invent New Game:
Knocking Japs From Trees
U. S. mam. s are becoming ex-
perts at playing a new game inaug-
urated at Guadalcanal.
Operating amphibian tractors,
tanks, trucks and jeeps. Leather-
necks ram their vehicles against
coconut trees in which Japanese
snipers uie perched. The resulting
impact usually hurls the tree's oc-
cupant earthward in the manner of
an arrow springing from a bow.
Points acquired by contestants
vary in accordance to the distance
Japs are sprung from the trees, ac-
cording to Capt. Harry L. Torger-
sun of Lynbrook, N. Y., a para-
marine who recently returned to the
United States from Guadalcanal.
Captain Torgerson, a six-footer, is
a former New York university ath-
lete and is well-known as a semi-
pro football player. He spent his
first hours on Guadalcanal dynamit-
ing Japanese out of caves, staying
up all night to construct the bombs
be-fore making a tour of Japanese
hiding places.
One of Captain Togerson’s
bombs, exploding prematurely,
ripped his trousers to shreds- and
blasted his watch from his wrist.

Save Radio Batteries
Battery-run radios, including a
great many used on farms, should be
operated on the basis of obtaining
at the very most only a single
set of replacement batteries a year.
Pointing out that production of
farm radio batteries has been cut
due to. restrictions on zinc and to
other factors, radio owners are
urged to follow simple conservation
rules for assuring maximum service
from their present supply. The rules
include: 1. Don't waste your bat-
teries. 2. Avoid long, continuous ra-
dio operation. 3. Keep batteries
away from heat. 4. Have the tubes
checked regularly. 5. Disconnect
batteries from radio when not in op-
eration.
Beauty Problem
One of the women factory work-
er’s biggest beauty problem is the
hair. Even when there is a good
permanent, the hair needs more
than the usual amount of care. If
the atmosphere is dusty, shampoos
should be much more frequent than
usual. Once a week is not too often.
The head sweats profusely, and
seems to gather ar.d hold tenaciously
the dust and grit from the air.
Besides giving off an unpleasant
odor, t^e scalp often feels itchy.
Comfort is quickly restored by
washing the hair. Rub up a lavish
lather, massage the scalp with it,
anu rinse it otit. Then repeat. Rinse
with warm water until all the soap
is out, and then cool off witff an al-
most-cold rinse.
Plan Garden Carefully
Careful selection of the varieties
of vegetables for victory gardens
this year is necessary if gardeners
are to harvest good crops. Richness
of the soil, amount of water avail-
able, amount of space, the length ol
the frost-free season, agd the amount
of sun or shade should be considered
before seeds are bought or other
preparations made. Among the kinds
Make Good Coffee
Rationing has revived the old argu-
ments about the best way to make
good coffee. Boiling, the drip meth-
od. percolation, and the vacuum re-
turn process each has loyal support-
ers. On one point, however, there
is no disagreement. If coffee is to
have the satisfying flavor that
makes it one of America's favorite
beverages, the inside of the contain-
er must be spotless for each fresh
brew. Wash the coffee-maker thor-
oughly after every use. Stour the
inside until not a trace of brown stain
is left, then wash in warm suds,
rinse, and dry with a clean towel. A
coffee-maker that has been properly
washed will not leave a speck of
brown stain on a white cloth.
