NATIVE GOSSIP FOUND USEFUL IN RELIEF WORK Armenians and Greeks by Thousands Added to Distress Lists. CONSTANTINOPLE, Feb. TO—The native Indulgence in gossip is put to good advantage by American relief workers in Central As ! a Minor, according to Walter E. Curt, of 24 Overlook Road, Caldwell, N. J., former deputy collector of customs at New York, who recently arrived here from Harpoot, Anatolia, where he served as director of Near East Relief work in that area. “It was found difficult to communicate witn Greeks and Armenians to whom

friends and relatives in America had sent money through the Near East Relief because no newspapers were published in Harpoot,” Curt declared. "Finally we hit upon the plan of listing the name of the payee on a bulletin board outside of headquarters. It was not many days before people whose names had thus been posted began to come in from even the most remote villages of the district. Gossip had carried the word to them. This was fortunate for in many cases money was paid just in time to save those receiving it from actual suffering. About fifty thousand Turkish pounds (approximately $30,000) was transmitted in this manner in about six months. Curt reported that thousands of Armenian and Greek deportees from the Graeco-Turkish battlefront are adding to the burden of relief administration in the Harpoot district. Increased need has resulted in a curtailment of expenses along every possible line, he said, even causing a reduction in the size of mattresses and underwear issued to children in the orphanages. The latter economy

alone will result in the saving of two thousand Turkish pounds ($1,100) a year in the one district, according to Curt's estimates.

INDIANA DAILY TIMES, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 10, 1922.

of having Lady Astor as one of the star guests Is already lending greater eclat to the affair. A personal friend has received a letter within the day or two from the witty and charming first woman of Parliament, saying she hoped to accept the Invitation of the League of Women Voters, unless a general election in England should Interfere. Lady Astor has expressed the desire to visit her native land, particularly if she could come as the guest of women’s organizations working for things she stands for In England. As everyone knows, she signed the resolution passed at a meeting In London representing eighty-eight women’s organizations of England on the eve of the Washington conference—a resolution which joined hands with American women for the success of the conference. The resolution was sent to Mrs. Charles Sumner Bird. The arch-plotters now planning the ! success of the April convention and panI American conference of women are: j Mrs. Richard Edwards of Peru, Ind. and

World Mining Slump Hit s Alaskan Fields WASHINGTON, Feb. 10.—Alaska’s mineral output for 1921 had the lowest annual value since 1904, accord! to an announcement by the Geologic Survey of the Interior department. The mineral output of Alaska for 1921

was valued at about $16,109,000, as compared with $23,303,787 In 1920. The docrease was attributed to a decline in all forms of lode mining, especially that of copper. The stagnation of mining in Alaska, officials assert, is but a reflection of the world-wide depression of the Industry and is not caused primarily by local conditions Minerals to the value of $478,000,000 have been produced In Alaska during forty-two years of mining, the Interior department’s statistics show.
