AMERICAN WOMEN ' : TAKE FIRST MEDICAL ASSISTANCE TO INDIA
The first education for girls and the first medical education for women in all Asia was started by two American women," said Mrs. Hallie Linn Hill In her lecture on "The Christian In India," at the Federated Missionary societies' school of missions at the First Presbyterian church Thursday. "Against ' overwhelming opposition, Isabella Thoburn started a little school for girls in Lucknow. India, in 1870.
which has since grown into the great
Isabella Thoburn college affiliated with the University of Lucknow. "Dr. Clara Swain was the first wom
an doctor to open up medical work for women in Asia. She went to India in 1870 and started her work against
great opposition. Both of these wom
en were sent out by the Women's Foreign Missionary society of the MethodJ l i '

cannot Over-Emphasize Need
"The need of education and medical
care in India connot-be over-emphasized. There still are over 100 million women in India who are utterly
without means for medical attention.
The poverty of India is largly due
to their absolute ignorance of agricul tural methods, and so at present mis
sionary boards are stressing the call for . missionaries with agricultural
training.
"A movement in India that is seconly only to the great political move
ment is the movement of the masses
toward Christianity," continued tha speaker. "This movement is taking
place among the 60 million outcasts
and is revolutionizing the life in thou
sands of villages occupied by these
. hopeless people.
i "Hinduism teaches that these mllV lions of human beings are so polluted that their very shadows over a public well would defile it. Yet the cows and dogs are permitted to drink from it
Christianity comes with its word of
hope and love to these people, and
many thousands are eagerly embrac
ing tho faith. England Appoints Bishop
"The church of England has appoint
ed as its Bishop for India, Bishop Azar
lah, who was, himself, one of thess
outcastes. Mrs. Hill also made the first lecture of the Thursday session of the school. Her subject for thb Iectur3 was "The Negro in the World War.'; A portion of her speech follows: "The part that the American Negro played in the World war reflects glory on his race. A battallion of negro soldiers were chosen by the president tc guard the nation's capitol during the hectic days when our country entered the war. They were chosen because there were no hyphenates among them and It was felt that their loyalty was without any doubt." ' High Physical Standard "There was a higher percentage of the negroes that pased the army phy tiical examinations than the whites and a lower percentage that asked exemjj tion. After much discussion it was decided to establish a camp for the training of negro officers and the call was sent out to college men of the negro race. Twelve thousand responded and entered training camp "'at Ft. Des Moines. Six hundred thirty-nine of these became commissioned " officers with honorable records. The program for the closing day of the school of missions on Friday, is as follows:

Churches Of Christ Declare Aid Of V. 5. Would Restore Europe WASHINGTON. Oct. 19. Europe "can never meet the problems resulting 1-om the war without the sympathetic counsel, advice and economic help of the United States, arranged
in mutual conference," said a state
ment issued today by the Federal
Council of Churches of Christ in
America. The statement embodied conclusions
reported by a number of prominent
clergymen, educators, women and business men, commissioned by the or
ganization last summer to visit the
churches of the European nations with messages of good will. They expressed the belief that "the delay of our nation in entering into this great
need of the world is responsible in
some measure for the deepening con
fusion of the present moment," de
claring Europe's "political problems' were fundamftitally "economic"
"We believe," the report said, "that these nations will readily . assent to
any reasonable and just proposal
from the United States which has even
yet, though in danger of being lost by
indecision, an opportunity tor moral
leadership such as no nation ever had
before in history.
The report recommended that the Federal Council of Churches "do its
utmost to develop In our people and
in their political leaders the sense of the moraf responsibility which today.
In the providence of God, has fallen
to us as a people. .- , ; . , .' ' .'

Official Worm Speed
Mark 224.0$ Miles An Hoar
MT. CLEMENS, Mich., Oct. 19
Brig. Gen. William Mitchell, assistant chief of the United States army air
service late yesterday Set a new offic
ial world's speed record when he
flew over a one kilometer course at
Selfridge field, at an average speed of 224.05 miles an hour in four heats. The
test wa3 timed by representatives of the Federation Aeronautique Interna
tionale, thus making the record offic
ial. Gen. Mitchell drove the army Curtiss plane which last week won thj Pulitzer speed trophy and in which Lieut. R. J. Maughan later drove un officially at a speed of 248.5 miles an hour. While Lieut. Maughans speed at that time was faster than that
made today and was under United States army regulations, no representatives of the Federation Aeronautique Internationale were present, a "act that prevented his mark standing as an official world's speed record.
- MURRETTE Charles Gerrard, than whom there Is no more suave, subtle or polished "heavy in the realm of motion pictures, declares that during his entire
career or celluloid villainy he has
been subjected to the indignity of arrest on only two occasions, and both by
the same detective actor Louis J.
O'Connor. v j
Gerrard's first experience in hav- j
ing O'Connor snap the steel bracelets alongside of his wrist watch was when
he was contributing some of his deepest dyed vllliany to a production in New York City. The second occasion happened recently in Los Angeles dur
ing the filming of one of the scenes of Charles Logue's story, "Heroes and Husbands," a First National attraction
starring Katherine MacDonald, which
is showing at the Murrette theatre.
As O'Conner slipped the handcuffs
on Gerard, the latter happened to look up at his captor end exclaimed : "Great
Scott! . ... you were not satisfied to place me under arrest in New York! You had to pursue me across the con
tinent! Where are you going to turn up next?" . .
"Wherever my stern duty as indi
cated in th-e scenario compels me to," grimly replied O'Connor, who is such a good picture detective that he never takes off his hat in the presence of man, woman or child, and who is seldom filmed without his faithful cigar.
S Murray Allan Dwan lias turned to his first love comedy drama in producing "A Perfect Crime," his second Associated Producers" release, which is playing at the Murray theatre. He has taken a simple story, embelished it with sound philosophy pro
vided plenty of romance, humor and
pathos, and turned out the best comedy drama of his career. The story has for its hero the greatest liar on record. Baron Munchausen
himself was a rank amateur compared to Wally Griggs. And Wally is so proficient in the art he lies his way to
success. For in the beginning he Is a poo
bank mesenger, timid, groveling and despised, earning $60 a month. He is
disgusted because bank officials en
deavor to make him a thief by plac
ing money about -where he can steal
it
Wally revolts. If they suspect him
to be a theif, he'll be one. and he plans
a cunning robbery.. He lays his plan6
carefully and devotes his time to es
tablishing another idenity so that
when the time comes, Wally Griggs
will have disappeared and a new per
sonality in no way connected with the bank will reap the harvest of the stol
en money.
In establishing this new indenity It
is necessary. for him to lie. , He lies
magnificently and impressively. For
the first time in his life he finds that
people are listening to- him. ; Does he rob the bank?- '
It would be unfair to tell you. But
he does steala girl's heart. Monte Blue is the hero of the story and Jacquelin Logan a former Zeigfeld girl
plays opposite him. r ,. - ' Washington
For sheer downright rip-roaring action the sort of drama that gets
rignr. unaer tne sKin ana manes you
feel like standing up in your seat and
shouting "Atta Boy!" we commend you to "The Kick-Back," in whih Harry
Carey scores again at the Washington theatre. . - - - " i This production was built, like a racing auto, for speed.' It is action," tense and ewif t, from start to finish It starts with a bang and ends with a crashing wallop ' that will thrill the heart of the most exacting theatregoer. ; "The Kick-Back"- depicts the adventures of a cowbow, 'from whom a hand of rogues try to steal a water hole in the heart of the Arizona deadlands. The cowboy protects his-property as best he can but Ms foes' send him into a trap that almost results in his death. He manages to escape, however, and returns to claim his land and the girl of his dreams. Intermingled with these incidents are several strong climaxes. r In the production of The Kick-Back" nothing has been omitted to provide sure-fire entertainment- The cast, in eluding besides Mr. Carey, such prominent players as Ethel Grey Terry and Henry Walthall, i3 adequate. The production was directed by Val Paul and is being distributed through the Film
Booking offices of America.

problem. A tremendousamount of automobile traffic between the residential sections and the business district was compelled to -use a single boulevard. - 1

ing at Grant street and Second ave
nue, the boulevard stretches up a hill
