AMERICAN WORKERS OF ~ NEAR EAST RELIEF

Cables Reveal Appalling Armenian Need—Hundreds of f Thousands Starving.

By CHARLES V., VICKREY | General Secretary, Near East Rellef i : Approximately 500 ! e . American men and i women are stand- ; &' @ Ing loyally and he--4 e § rolcally at their } : R .41 posts In Armenla, : 'Y Turkey and the ! ."k Near East. Many ! ::fif ~ of them during the i e long winter of Iso- { S - lation are undergo- : N ing what we in ¢ i T America call “hardg ship.” But these, iCharies V. Vlckrcj our -fellow cltizens ! .in the Near East, iare volunteers serving with a high 'purpose, and they do not recognize §MMIp when they meet it . ' They have had thelr opportunity to iwithdraw with honor from the fleld of famine and desolation. They have refused to leave, becnuse they know that {thelr departure would mean death for itens of thousands of women and chil‘dnn‘ whom thelr efforts have kept iallive and whom they are determined ito save for a better future. . A dozen cables are on my desk from ,yarious centers In Armenia, Anatolla, iCilicia and Syria pleading pitecusly /for the lives of hundreds of thousands {who are homeless: “Sixty-five thou,sand refugees Constantinople alone;” '“Refugees flocking Into Aleppo;” f*Twenty thousand refugees at Ismid ;" "One hundred thousand people at {Alexandropol will starve unless rellef As provided ;” “Refugees arriving from 'Caucasus, escaping persecution, naked, idestitute! Urgent need to save must jof them from death;” “Two hundred ‘thousand starving between Kars narid Alexandropol! Severe winter adding to distress.” Above all towers the mute appeal of the more than 100,000 little children, orphaned, homeless, whom these AMerdcan rellef workers have saved and whom we here at home must sustaln mot only through the winter and #pring, but through the summer and autumn as well, If we do not provide, they perish! And with them dies the Popo of a New Near East. The Easter season is here—the seam‘mt commemorates the Great Sacfor mahkind. Awmerica Is known as a Christian um.» She is also the ‘wealthlest nation that history has ever' known., i Can we really enjoy our wealth and <laim the name of Christian If we turn . @ deaf ear to the appeal! which General Leonard Wood, In behalf of the Near East Rellef, has sent forth broadcast for a Lenten Sacrifice Offering to save these little children.ln Bible Lands?

FIGURED IN HISTORIC PAST

Representation of Monarch of the Time of Abraham Now In - Pennsylvania Museum,

. In the dim old days of the patriarch t Abraham people looked very much as they do vow, judging from the oldest representation of human figures üb[ésrtbed by the tolling brotherhood of archeologists,. Two striking figures, one standiog and oue seau‘ed, are included in the elaborate design of the clay seal, or “postage stamp,” which has excited the enthusiasm of Dr. Le igmln‘ curator of the Babyloulan secton of the University, of Peansylvanla museum. - » ; Dr. Legraln bas figured out the Inscriptions of the little tablet as lndii;«faflug that it dates from the period ' wheli “Ur of the Chaldees,” mentioned In Genesis in ¢onpection with the history of Abraham, was a '‘flourishing kingdom.

JOO HEALTHY FOR MEDICINE

People of Tristan da Cunha Throw Supply Left by British Crulser , Into the Sea.

The island-of Tristan da Cunha is described ag “an unspolied haven of rest for the weary soul, a mecca for those who long for rellef from worries of life,” by the chaplain of the British crulser Dartmouth, which has just returned from a visit to that isolated spot. : i : : “No need to worry over money there, for there Is none,” sald the chaplain, *“There are no taxes, no doctors, no lawyers, no clergymen, no pollcemen, not even a head man, Newspapers and mall arrive, with luck, about once every two years. “There is not even any medicine, for the latest supply of remedies was thrown into the sea by the inhabitants, who are remarkably healthy., Epidemics are unknown. . “Tristan is a British possession In the south . Atlantic, between South Africa and South America. Its snowcapped peak towers nearly 8,000 feet above sea level. It is only 21 mlles in circumference, The nearest inhabited placo"’lé: St. Helena, 1,200 miles away. only habitable portion of it is a tongue of fertile land at the foot of the precipitous cliffs.”

The Wrong Number.

‘Mrs. New Auto owner, all excited, called hdr husband over the telephone at his office, and announced: “The auto tags came by mall, but we will have to send them back. They sent the wrong number.” Business of considerable questioning from the business office end of the telephone. Then: “Well, they're not the same numbers we had last year, so I thought they had made a mistake.” " ‘Explanatory: The machine had come into possession of the family late in the year, a license number was obtained that had six figures and the husband got In early for a 1921 Nicense hoping to obtain a smaller number and he got It 5 Anyway, the wife had a good laugh at her own expense when the husband arrived home that evening. And she is learning something each day about autos. - :

Pellagra and Income,

After a three-year study of pellagra in the cotton-mill villages of South Carolina, the United States public health service shows that pellagra varies inversely with the family income in this locality. As the income fell -the disease was found to increase and to affect more members of the same family. As the income rose the, disease decreased, and was rarely found In families that enjoyed the highest incomes, even though this highest was still quite low. A recent statement given by one of the large life insurance companies indicates that the food standards of Southern wage earners must have improved remarkably of late, for the death rate from pellagra has fallen from 6.7 per 100,000 in 19015 to 2.3 In 1019,

Much Gasoline Wasted,

About one-third of the gasoline used in automobiles is wasted. This is the conclusion reached by A. C. Fieldner of the United®States bureau of m from experiments under traffic conditions to determine the air pollution of the vehicular tunnels under New York city. The waste is chiefiy due to too rich gasoling mixture. It is estimated that an improved and practically automatic carburetor might save American auotmobilists $84,000,000 a yeur,

dependence without further delay. Congressman King is one of an inereasing number of Republicans in the House who are urging quick action on Philippine independence. Mr. King isthe author of a bill which provides that within one year the Philippine government, under presidential proclamation, may assemble a convention and frame a constitution. - After the constitution is ratified by the Filipino people the President may recognize the Phillppine islands as “a separate and self-governing nation.™ The transfer of authority Is to be completed within one year. Provision Is made for safeguarding American investments in the Philippines and for the providing of coallng stations and submarine bases in the Islands by the. United States. . ; Word from the Philippines is that the_people expect early independence and will be sorely disappointed if they do not get It. , “No nation has the right,” sald Congressman King “to hold another people in peonage, even though it may be argued by the professoriate that the condition is simply one of ‘tutelage.’ “A little more observance of the golden rule in national and International affairs would soon dispel that ;,osire for exploitation, the flercest foe of freedom {n the world today. “When we went to the Philippines we declared before the whole world that we were not actuated by any selfish desire of conquest or territorial aggrandizement, but solely by humanitarian impulses.” | Congressman King called attention to the fact that Filiplnos are now raising funds to erect a monument to Admiral Dewey, which he said was indirectly a tribute to th w people as well as to & vey. He recalled the cable that Dewey had sent to President McKinley, which was as follows: - o “In my opinion these people (Fili-pinos)-are superior In intelligence and more capable of self government than the natives.of Cuba, and I am familiar with both.” Congressman King then recjted the preamble to the Jones law, passed August 29, 1916, and declared it was a definite pledge of independence. The preamble 'stated “it 1s as it has always been the purpose of the people of the United States to withdraw their soverelgnty over the Philippine Islands and to recognize their independence as seon as a stable government can be established therein.” Congressman King stated there was no question but that the Filipinos had established the specified stable government and, therefore, it is the selemn duty of the United States to grant the promised independence,

NATIVE TRIBE LITTLE KNOWN

Tehueiches of Patagonia Mave Many of the Characteristics of North American indians,

Many are the strange and interest ing native tribes that are found in the Americas. Amoug the most interesting are the people of the ostrich, who inhabit an aimost as yet unknown country, and in language, and character, and race, are altogether distinet from other Indians, says an article on “People of the Ostrich” in Boys' life. They live In the remote and almost legendary reglons of the “land of large feeted men"—a land, that like Chill,” Peru, Mexico, and porthwest South America, has s story of the existence of & hidden city among the unexplored wilds of their Cordilleras. : G : The Tehuelches of Patagonia, that vast peninsular end of South America, are scattered across It, from the Straits of Magelian and the Rio Ne gro—a territory of over 1000 miles in length and 300 at its narrowest. A brave, active, athletic people, wonderful horfemen, singularly expert with thelr weapons and implements, who lead a wandering life, and hunt the wild cattle/ the guanacos—and ostriches. For Patagonia is a home of that splendid bird, which was tiere ages before men crossed its path in the faraway wilds of the interior. To the Tehuelches, thisfine bird is as important In thelr existence. as the guanaco, for they are & race of hgnters, dand grow but little food for themselves, - :

PREACHES FROM AN AIRPLANE

Minister With Many Parishes to Cover Puts Modern Mode of Travel o - to Good Use. .

No tolling church bells announce to the little communities scattered through one section of America's great Northwest the periodiec Sunday morning arrival of the region's most enterprising itinerant evangelist. In. stead, they hear the coughing exhaust of*an engine, as his airplane spirals down upon the village. Drawn irresistibly by the novelty of the visit, they flock to the airplane, now at rest in a nearby field or meadow. They find the preacher on his feet in the pilot's cockpit of the plane “Sky Pllot,” ready to begin his discourse. B Explanation of this strangest of all the airplane’'s uses is found In the evangelist's decision, some months ‘fi that the time and energy required | constant travel among distant parishes was geriously curtailing his effectiveness.

Women Crave Excitement

The wife of a very wealthy man was arrested with a group of bandits after a pistol battle with the police, in which the woman was shot in the arm. She is a woman who has tra¢eled, Is educated and bears every evidence of refinement. The police say that there are many women of this kind who work with thieves- unbeknown to their families. The call of adventure is the prime motive. In a raid on an East side wine ‘cellar recently ten men and one woman were taken to headquarters in a patrol. All the men had crimiual records.

GROWTH INFLUENCED BY RAIN

Observations of Travelers Show Re markable Difference in Vegeta. tion of Tropical Forests,

Tropical forésts are divided by Hann into those having months of less than &ix rainy days and those having no dry season proper. Those with oo dry senson are constantly humid, although the varyiug seasonal moisture has ts influence even here. Undisturbed constantly humid reglons are pearly alwayw covered with evergreen rain for est; perfodically dry districts are oo cupled by deciduous woodiand and savannah. With every slight aocoual precipitation the vegetatlon beconies that of the desert. Seen on appregching, a tropical raln forest shows a much. more Irregular and jagged skyline than the tempérase forest, and its varied shades of. green are usually ‘dull; but often broken by white, red or other - brilllant-hued flowering -tree crowns The tree tops, moreover, are often overhung by climbing vines and parasitic plants. The interior of some raln forests Is a dense mass of tangled foliage from the ground up to the tree tops, but othe s are ke immense dark columned hall - which afford a free pas: sage and a clear outlook, with only a ‘few ferns on the ground and tree stems, As examples of light column forest Schimper mentions those of a species of Canarium on the mountalns of Dominica and of many tree ferns In Trinidad, In the closed forest, the trunk and even leaves Erow nosses, ‘algae and Howering herbs. - The strug‘gle for light, intensified by grent mols ture; is a feature of the virgin rain forest. - : o ' :
