And from the flagstones of the laboratory floor,: often is scraped fungi and mold for I use under the microscope, These are typical contrasts of Ginling College, revealed through the survey of the Chinese field now being made by the Interchurch World movement, which seeks to promote the closer co-operation of Protestant Churches of America in attaining their world aims. Ginling College, the srarvey shows, is at the heart of live Chinese provinces with a total population of 110,000,000 and is the only woman's college in that great area. Yet its capacity to receive young Chinese girls is limited bv the capacity of the old "gung-gwan," rented since the beginning of tho institution, four year? ago. Fund of $500,GCO. Ginling own.? 37 acres of land on the hills beside the Yangtze river. In the Interchurch World Movement survey of China, there is a budget Item of $500,000. It is there to show the Churches of America how they can place upon that land on the hill the library, administration building, recitation buildings, chapel all that are needed for a modern college. Unless the fund is available by 1021, many young women of China seeking college educations must be denied admission to Girding, because the old "gunggwan" is too small. MOVEMENTS CAME TOO FAST Small Girl's Ingenuous Reason for Inability to Join the Health Crusade This Year. Tin1 in health crusade had been startthe schools for the year.

"But y ii could use some other tub," hoped the teacher. The little girl shook her head. "No. and we used our health crusade tooth bru-hes to paint it given. So we have to stay out of your campaign this year." There's a Difference. "Men are the contrariest things I" exclaimed r.n Indianapolis housewife.

fOUiMD UJ DISEASE GERM Annoying "Deer-Fly Fever," It Is Announced, Is Caused by Bacterium Tular ense. Announcement has been made by tha United States public health service of the discovery by Its investigators of a new germ foe to man, which causes a disease which has resulted in fatal cases in Utah, the New York Times Si; vs. An investigation has been completed by Surgeon Edward Francis. The germ, which bears the name of bacterium tuhtrense, was first located by Doctors McCoy and Chapin of the liealth service, as the causative agent in a plaguelike disease of rodents. It w; s not (hen known that the same germ also infects man. Doctor Francis now Cnds that bacterium tulnren.se is the cause of "deerfly fever," a disease occurring among the rural population of Utah, and Initiated, according to popular belief, by v. iiy bite on some exposed surface of the body. The site of the bite and

tho neighboring lymph glands become b mh-r and Inflamed and commonly suppurate. A fever like that in ordinary blood poison develops and lasts ftotn three to six weeks. KNEW HOW TO MAKE IT FIT Backwoodsman Little Troubled by Fact That Cap He Purchased Was Too Small. Early in tho autumn a man from the backwoods wandered into a Syracuse gents' furnishing store. Here the shiny winter caps caught his eye. After gazing at these a long time he paid : "How much you want for one o' them caps?" "One dollar," rejoined the clerk. "Try this une on, sir." 15 ii t this proved to be a size or so too small, sitting upon tho woodcho?per's head like a peanut on a barrel. "Here's yr dollar, mister. I'U take this cap." .- "But the cap's too small," declarV f the amazed clerk, pushing back the proffered dollar. "Wait till you try" "Oh, I'll fix this so's it'll fit," was the backwoodsman's final exchange before starting off with his purchase. "When I git home all I'll have to do Is to sdit its back up with a knife, bice It with a shoestring, and everything'll tci all hunkydory !" Reh .both Sunday Herald. Chinese Beauties. An expert has turned his attention to what he calls "the exquisite complexion of the Chinese women." This, he claims, is not due to enameling, as is generally supposed, but to careful manipulation of the face by the most expert masseuses. They begin by a gentle pinching of the cheeks between the tips of their fingers, au operation that consumes a period of ten minutes. Lotions are applied by means of absoilat cotton, then comes an unguorirnd there follows a kneading of theieka with an extreme delicacy of touch, always proceeding from the, nose and commissures of the lips o;,vard the ears. Just Grievance.

Any guy that talks to a lady like she's scattered herself all over tho place ain't no gentleman. That's what 1 say!" Birmingham Age-Herald. Great System. "I understand Miss Grabcoln never ri-es Isef ore noon." "Ahem ! What does that signify?" "The possession of wealth, which the family would nVjt be now enjoying if years ago old Mr, Grabcoin hadn't acquired the habit of bouncing out of bed at live o'clock in the morning, sticking his head under a pump, gulping down a plate of flapjacks ami a cup of coffee and getting back on the job." Birmingham Age-Herald. A 3jsp:cious Nature. Gopher Jim savs be wants ns to 3 come around to his honso and have a nice little poker party. He's gohf to have sandwiches and everything."

"L mme tell you; if Gopher Jim r.itime to go over them packs o cards before the pame starts he kin well afford to make it a banquet." Alienism. T1 turn every one of these bolshevists over to an alienist," remarked the man who attributes everything to insanity. "So would I," answered Senator Sorghum. "I'd run them over to an expert enemy-alienist with the broadest kind at c.uthoritv."

iJ & kJti ! LJ w rm !, , i 1 ( i & A i U k 1(J k -f KJ World Survey Figures Reveal How Badly United States fs Paying its Pastors. MANY LIVILG m S00O A YEHO On cf the Alms of Present PrcUstxnt Co-operation Is to End Disgrace cf Underpaid Preacher Pensions Also to Be Provided. What are the chances of a young man who Intends to be a lawyer of making: $3,000 a year? What are the doctor's chances? What of the minister or the manufacturer? The lawyer has exactly one chance in five. The doctor's chances are one la seven. It Is ten to one against the manufacturer. The modern minister, however, who formerly ranked with the doctor and lawyer as a member of the "learned professions," has fallen hopelessly behind. He Is a 100 to 1 shot. These figures are part of a mass of astonishing facts, brought to light by the vrorld survey being made by the Interchurch World Movement and whose sources of Information are such that many economists end statisticians are availing themselvef- the results. This survey puts Am . M's minister at the bottom of the ladder of the nation's income receivers and with responsibilities which equal those of any captain of Industry. A worker in a silk mill, a laborer In a rubber plant, a paper maker, a worker la a shoe factory all are getting higher average wages, the surveyshows, than does America's minister, city or country. Nor docs the city man receive the luxurious salary that many persons, Including many country' parsons, believe he does. Not four ministers in a thousand, according to the survey, receive $5,000 a year. In no Instance, whatever the denomination, does a majority receive $1,000. Cotton Pickers Better Off. Are you a Cocgregationalist? In 2.7S3 churches the yearly pay to yout ministers has been less than 51.000. Are you a Presb-fterian? You are then on the less than $1,000 list with 0,41a ministers. In the event that you are a Methodist the charge is that 4,719 pastors are trying to exist on the $20 a week that you pay them. Episcopalians do CJittle better, yet half of their rectors receive less than the $1,500 a year which government economists regard was the minimum on which a family can be decently maintained. The inlti; ! eot ,f the cheapest "flivver" on the market Is less than $G00, hut a very good, conscientious pastor, It is shown, can be hired for a year for that sum. Ministers In the South are preaching to fifty or more cotton pickers who Individually are paid more for picking cotton than their entire neighborhood pays to the preacher in a year.
