(J.S. USES CORN
FOR CUN POWDER
Unde Sam's huge corn reserve,
built up over the past few years to
protect the farmer’s prices. Is com-
ing; to the fore today in the defense
of the Nation. For that corn baa
been called upon to provide ammu-
nition for the fighting forces of the
United 8tates and Us allies.
For the first time in history corn
In large quantities is being con-
verted into alcohol for the manu-
facture of cordite or smokeless
powder. Little If any of the alcohol
ever gets to the gun, one of the
paradoxes of a process that in-
volves another important agricul-
tural product—cotton. King of the
South.
Normally, industrial alcohol is
obtained entirely from by-products
of sugar cane molasses, but the
enormous demand for military pro-
tection threatened a Serious short-
age. In the emergency the govern-
ment called upon the liquor dlstil-
,lers to convert 20,000,000 bushels
iof the corn reserve into 50 million
gallons of grain alcohol. Joseph EL
Seagram A Sons, Inc., was the first
distiller to sign a contract with the
government and la converting corn
Into industrial alcohol for muni-
tions st a rate of .780,000 bushels a
peer. One pound of powder requires
about one-half pound of alcohol
'running seven pounds to the gal-
lon) In its manufacture.
J In the munitions plant the raw
ootton is shredded, boiled, washed
.and dried and then treated with
nitric and sulphuric acid, produc-
tng cellulose cotton or "pyrocotton."
This ‘‘pyrocotton” is mixed wittr
other-alcohol to form a paste and
then pressed through steel dies to
form either pellets or cylindrical
•ticks.
t What remains is cordite or
“amokeless powder”—neither pow-
der nor exactly smokeless, although
compared to old black powder. Us
blasting fumes are light and dis-
appear quickly. The cylinders of
cordite, about the size of your fist,
are Jumbled together and'sewn in-
» large canvas bags to be rammed
behind the shells of the big guns.
Cordite is a slow burning powder,
a separate stick of which can be
lighted by match in the open air
but which—packed in the breech of
a big rifle — will blow a 16-inch
■hell Sh miles over the horizon.

A BUSY SABBATH IN
CAPERNAUM
LESSON TEXT—Mark
GOLDEN TEXT—1 was in the Spirt* on
the Lord s day.—Revelation 1:10.
The Sabbath of the Jew and the
Lord’s Day (Sunday) of the Chris-
tian were both intended to be days
of rest. The ordinary activities of
life were to cease and one was to
be free to worship and to rest. The
manner in which a man uses this
God-given day of rest is a remark-
ably accurate indicator of his spiri-
tual condition.
We have before us the account of
a very busy Sabbath day which our
Lord spent in Capernaum, the city
in which most of His mighty works
were done, but which ignored Him
and His teaching to its own destruc-
tion (see Matt. 11:23, 24). As we look
at our Lord’s activity on that day
we learn what we may do with our
Sundays to make them bear fruit
for eternity. We find Him in three
places.
I. In the Church (w. 21-28).
The Sabbath day found our Lord
with His people in the synagogue,
their place of worship. The serv-
ice of worship was probably for-
mal and lacking in spiritual vital-
ity, b*t none-the-less He was there.
What hav^we to say if we miss the
opportunity for fellowship and serv-
ice which church attendance brings
us?
Observe that because He was
there He (as a distinguished relig-
ious teacher) was called upon to
teach the people. He taught them
in the serene consciousness of His
divine authority, and the people
were delighted and astonished at
His message. We may not serve
exactly as He did, but if we pre-
sent ourselves in God’s house on
His day we will find the way opening
for us to share in the worship.
Jesus not only spoke, but He per-
formed a miracle. Certain it is that
we could not do what He did, but
we can be ready to give ourselves
in service as well as in worship, or
in speaking. Thfire is much work
to be done in the church, and God’s
people should be ready and will-
ing to do it.
n. In the Home (w. 29-31).
From the synagogue Christ went
into the home. How appropriate!
We too should go from the church
to the home, always bringing with
us the strength and blessing of the
worship service.
The daughter of a great preacher
and Bible teacher said the thing she
most loved in her father was that
he did not give out the “cream" of
his Christianity la his meetings and
bring home the “skim milk.” Too
often we fail to bring into the home
the power and beauty of the service
in the church. We who have been
very sweet and spiritual in the
church should not come home to be
sour and crabbed.
Jesus brought a blessing into
Peter’s home, miraculously healing
his mother-in-law of a great fever,
setting her free to serve. Here
again we cannot do what He did,
but we can, in His name,' bring pow-
er and blessing into our homes.
III. In the City (w. 32-34).
From the home the ministry of
Jesus reached out to the entire city.
As the strict laws forbiddin6 travel
on the Jewish Sabbath were set
aside by the coming of sundown, not
only the city but the entire country-
side brought their sick and needy
to Him. »
The scene staggers the imagina-
tion as one attempts to conceive of
this coming together of troubled hu-
manity for the Master’s touch.
Mark tells us that He healed many ;
Matthew, that He healed all, and
Luke, the physician, is emphatic in
saying that He healed every one of
them.
We may learn from this incident
that our Christian faith, which has
been developed and strengthened by
our time of worship and service in
the church, should not only reflect
itself in the home, laut should reach
out into the life of the community
in which we live. The primary in-
terest of the Christian in his city
or the place of his residence should
be spiritual, a desire to bring to
bear upon the people of the commu-
nity the power of the gospel.
There is, however, a secondary
responsibility which is of much im-
portance and that is the extending
of Christian influence into every
phase of school,- social, political,
and business life. It is said that
vjhen D. L. Moody came into a bar-
b»r shop the entire course of the
conversation changed Thg Chris-
tian should have an influence on
problems of social welfare, the work
of the public schools, the proper con-
duct of business in the community,
and surely upon its political life. It
is said that if every Christian in
America would vote according to
his professed convictions we could
put the salooas out of business in a
tingle' election. Why not do it?

We are all students in one build-

living human lives. Each day in
some way we all have an opportu
mty to help some one. Let’s try
to jump at the chances, instead of
avoiding them.
Remember the time you just
couldn’t work that Geometry
problem and you had tried and
tried until you were so hot and
tired? Your brain wouldn’t work
and you were in a fair way to
loose your temper, when Jane
came up and said she had noticed
that you were having trouble with
the problem she had just finished.
She sat by you and began to ex-
plain how it was done, and presto,
you understood how to get it! You
always have felt grateful, since
that day. But, do you remember,
too, walking to school with Beth
this morning? She had a load of
unruly books, and you just had

There’s a verse that you’ve

that deals with this subject. It
will help us to recall it because it
holds a deep meaning for us.,
‘“If you’ve had a kindness shown
you, pass it on.
‘Twas not meant for you, alone,
pass it on,
Let it travel down the years, 'til in
heaven the deed appears, pass
it on.”

turn for what some one has done
for you. You’ll never regret it!

labor-management unity aids
DEFENSE OUTPUT, ENGINEER SAYS
“Intent on maximum production for defense, industry is tunrrg
with increased speed to scientific methods of products comiul
with the fullest cooperation on the part ul labor.
concludes Albert Kamond, internationally known consulting
engineer and president of the Bedaux ( .mpattv, who has just
completed a twelve-week, on-thc-ground study of industrial areas
>1111 not w a ......
in the United States and Canada.
•’To increase production, industry
needs new factories, enlarged
plants, more machines,” Mr. Ita-
mond said ’’but these tliinps take
considerable time, and since time
is now of the essence, industry
must do everything possible to get
the maximum production out of
existing plants and equipment.
Steel Mill Shows Increase
’’Increasingly, management is rea
lizing that, to get greater output
from the available man power and
machine power, the workers’ full
cooperation is essential. There is
evidence, as management is com
ing to recognize, that, under a kind
of production control that enlists
the workers' cooperative interest,
scientific management will yield
production increases running to 25
per cent and more.
“By these methods, without the
addition of either personnel or
equipment, a steel mill in the Mid-
dle West recently increased the
productivity of its repair shops by
80 per cenL
“With no change in manpower or
equipment, a nickel plant in West
Virginia Increased the output of a
‘bottle-neck’ department by 25 per
ceaL
“With an addition to It* labor
force of only 1" per cent, a brass
factory In Michigan increased the
output of its screw-machine depart
ment by 3" per cent "
Worker* Improve Earnings
In every one of these cases,
workers' earnings increased by
from 10 to 30 per cent. Mr. Itampinl
poitiled out.
“Time study ..nil production con
trot," Mr Kamond stated, “enable
management to get a fair day's
work tor a fair day's pay At the
same time, they guarantee the
worker that production require-
ments will be^ reasonable and that,
for extra effort, be will get extra
payment
“These methods enable manage-
ment to schedule work and td be
sure of scheduled delivery. At the
same time, they assure both man
agement and workers that scientif-
ic control will highlight fault* la
plant layout, in material delivery,
and other imperfections that delay
production and impair the workers’
earnings. Job evaluation—which la
a part of this ‘package' of nuxlern-
lzed managerial technique — en-
ables management to build an
equitable rate structure and ma-
tures every worker of pay that
recognizes the value of experience,
skill, and responsibility.'*
