MEMORIAL TO MISSIONARY IS CHURCH PLAN Celebrate Birth Date of David Livingstone With Gifts. /; a Timas Special NEW YORK, March 19.—The birth of David Livingstone, the noted African medical missionary and explorer, on March 19, 1813, is being commemorated today and the rest of the month by children of the Congregational churches in the United States with gifts toward the restoration of his birthplace in Scotland. The gifts are being collect' 1 by Miss Agnes S. Kelsey of Bostoi Mass., children’s secretary of tht American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions, the foreign missionary society of the Congregational churches. Livingstone was born in an old tenement house among the cotton mills of Blantyre village, on the River Clyde. The house is to be made into a memorial museum, with rooms shownig how the mill-work-ers lived at the time of Livingstone’s childhood and with other rooms containing exhibits illustrative of Livingstone’s travels in Africa. The exhibits will include a lifesize tableau which has been given by King Khama, the sovereign of a Christian tribe in central Africa. On the banks of the Clyde river will be built an out-of-doors amphi- ■ heater where missionary plays and pageants may be given. Died in Jungle The relief expedition headed by Henry M. Stanley and sent to Africa by tho New York Herald in 1869 performed a historic achievement in journalism. Stanley returned in 1872 with Livingstone’s precious diary for the preceding six years. The diary “contained a wealth of information about countries arid peoples hitherto unexplored and unknown." Livingstone remained in the interior of Africa and died May 1, 1873, at Chitambo. His heart was buried by his native attendants at Chitambo and his body embalmed as best they could was carried nearly a year’s journey to the coast at Zanzibar. It reached England, April 15, 1874. The London Missionary Society, an agency of the Congregational churches in Great Britain, first sent Livingstone to Africa in 1840. He originally set out solely to discover fields for mission work but later his explorations were directed to combat the atrocities of the slavetraffic through opening up the country to legitimate and productive commerce. Sought Nile Watershed In 1866 he acepted a commission from the Royal Geographical Society to ascertain the watershed of south central Africa and to locate the sources of discovery he wrote: “I would not consent to go simply as a geographer, but as a missionary’ and to do geography by the way.” Regarding the number and accuracy of his astronomical and geographical/ observations it was said: "You can go to any point across the entire continent along Livingstone’s track and feel certain of your position." A dauntless spirit made Livingstbne known as “the man who would go on.” Once when rounding a river’s course in an unknown region /he came suddenly upon a great force of armed, savages. Arrows sped over his canoe. “Go back,” shouted the chief. But Livingstone slipped into the water and with his arms above his head walked quietly and deliberately toward the threatening warriors. His audacity and courage held them pell-bound and he was permitted to go on. He went on and on across mountains, marsties. mountains, rivers. Shaken with fever, wounded, de-1 serted by his attendants, robbed of his medicines, threatened by wild . beasts, human head-hunters and slave-traders, he would not cease his explorations. Before he died he saw the slave-trade struck a death blow! On the site where the slave-market once stood in Zanzibar is now a great cathedral built by Negro hands.

SUPS REGISTRATION Leslie Says Bill Is Costly and Cumbersome. Statement of explanation regarding the veto of Governor Harry G. Leslie of the registration bill and two constitutional amendments was Issued late Monday at the same time a statement of regret over his action was made public by the Indiana League of Women Voters. The women backed the registration measure and saw it safely through both houses. Several visits of delegations to the Governor’s office failed to secure his approval. In the statement he reiterated the charges that the measure, as drawn, is cumtJfersome, costly and impractical. He agreed with the demand for registration in cities, but pointed out that the rural communities do not want it. The league statement closed as follows: “The Governor has assumed the responsibility for preventing the voters of the state from operating under a permanent registration law, such as the Meisner bill, for the next two years. The League of Women Voters invites all citizens interested in honest elections to continue with them the study of the problem of registration.”
