NEAR EAST RELIEF We have all participated in Near East Relief work, but few of us know much al>out what has been accomplished by th • organization during the 12 years of its existence. Twelve years ago the committee undertook to raise 100 thousand dollars ami secured a little over 87 thousand. The government of the United States provided food supplies which were handled by the representatives of the Near East Relief, chiefly in the Russian Caucasus and in Armenia valued at approximately $12,800,000. Buildings, lands and transportation provided by co-operating governments and employed for the million and more who have lieen served, of nearly $105,600,000. At present the committee is aiding some 30000 children and asks for 5 millions more to complete its work. OBSERVED BY MOST NITIONS Americans are somewhat prone to look upon Christmas as a holiday in the'same class with such distinctively American celebrations as Memorial Day. Fourth of July and Thanksgiving, without realizing that it is one of the oldest festivals in history and that we share its observance with many other peoples. In fact, so many nations have contributed to its traditions and the customs and symbols associated with it that it is truly the most “International Holiday" of all. There’s an interesting feature article on that theme in this issue of The Journal that you will enjoy reading. Look for “Christmas an International Holiday.” by Elmo Scott Watson, in this issue. T FOR OLD AGE PENSIONS A New York member of Congress has introduced a bill providing for a grant to states of a sum not to exceed one-third of the amount expended for pensions for aged persons not able to support themselves. Administration of the funds would be under an unsalaried commission in the Department of Labor. The bill follows the model of the act to provide for vocational and agricultural schools, the act to provide for agricultural extension work in state colleges, thr act to provide for aid to states in carrying on the work in industrial rehabilitation, the ShepardTowner bill to provide for maternity aid and th.* fedvrs.l aid for read const-uct on.

THE SHUMAKER CASE Issues in the state’s contempt proceedings against the Rev. E. S.

WATCH This Space for the Year of 1928

INDIANA COAL In the fare of a three million ton decrease in the volume of bituminous coal produced by Indiana shaft and strip mines during the 12 months ended September 30, 1927, there was an increase of nearly 4,000 in the number of men employed. This is one of the salient commentaries on the state of the Indiana coal mining industry contained in the annual report just completed by Albert C. Dally, chief inspector of the Indiana department of mines and mining. This report represents the fiscal year of the state and will be filed in the state archives. According to Daily’s figures, 16.202,826 tons of coal of all classes were mined during the period as compared with 19,506,140 tons during the corresponding period of 1926, but along with this decrease came an increase from 17,897 to 21,792 in the number of miners employed. The connection these two facts have with the average earnings of the men employed in the mines is borne out of the drop in "davs worked by mines” from 19 394 in 1926 to 19,186 in 192*7. Some men are paid on a tonnage basis while others are paid on an hourly or day wage basis. The fact that five months of the fiscal period represented the time of the suspension of operations in many parts of the central competitive yield due to failure of operators and the United Mine Workers of America to reach an agreement, loses some of its significance when it is pointed out that a large number of Indiana mines were continued in as nearly normal operation as the market would permit through negotiation of “work pending settlement” agreements. Wages of miners and mine employees totaled $24,948,252.34 in 1927; as set off against the corresponding 1926 figure o f $28,664,657.10. The ratio of accidents and deaths in mining to tonnage produced rose sharply during the fiscal year largely because of inclusion in this period of the Francisco No. 2 mine disaster a year ago. in which 37 men lost their lives. The fatality list in 1927 mounted to 74, as against 46 in 1926. One man was killed in 1926 for each 403.505 tons of coal mined as compared with one death this year for each 219.957 tons. —o A Kansas hog, weighing 200 pounds, after having been caught under a straw stack, burrowed itself out after several weeks weighing eighty pounds. Fat folks interested in getting thin might take notice.

STATE POSTER CONTEST Grade and high school pupils jof Kosciusko county and of all {other counties in Indiana have . been invited to compete in the {fifth annual state poster contest j which is sponsored by the Indiana State Parent-Teachers Association in cooperation with the Indiana University Extension Division. School heads, art supervisors and Parent-Teacher asso- > ciations in Indiana are being mailed a bulletin on this subject by the I. U. Extension Division. The contest will close April 16 ■ and the three best posters from I each schoof system competing must be in the office of the Bureau of Visual Instruction of the I. U. Extension Division by that time. The state awards will be announced at a special meeting of the Parent-Teacher Association which is held in Indianapolis each year during the latter part of April. The posters will be judged in three groups: those submitted by the grades from one to six inclusive, those submitted by the grades seven and eight, and those .from the high schools. "The object of this poster contest is not that all may become the makers of posters, but that all may develop the power of selecting the significant thing and visualizing it and expressing it jin an attractive and beautiful t way whether it be in language or pictorial form,” said the late T. C. Steele, Indiana artist, in commenting on the annual poster contest. . © RECORD CORN CROP All records in Indiana were broken again this year in the five acre corn growing contest, ! when Harry Ayler of Brooksburg. Jefferson county, grew 152.53 bushels an acre, it was announced by the Indiana Corn Growers’ association, which holds the contest in co-operation with Purdue university. Q . Notwithstanding all that has been done by the government, the states and the Red Cross more than 18,000 people in the Mississippi flood districts are still under necessity, of accepting daily food supplies from relief workers and these conditions will probably continue throughout the winter months. When the flood was at its height a total of 212,000 had to be supplied with food and shelter.

I do not want to embarrass you. but here’s a sample of whn’ • other people are doing.”

HOUSEHOLD HINTS I ! i HOUSEHOLD HINTS If the mica on your stove needs cleaning, try a solution of vinegar and water. In boiling fish, add lemon juice to the water; this helps to keep! it whole and thus';preserves flavor and nutriment. Is your carpet faded? Try wiping it off with a damp cloth thr.t *has been wrung from a i strong solution of salt and water. Then sprinkle salt over the carpet and give it a good cleaning. Incidentally a few drops of lemon juice in the water will keep old potatoes which are cooking from discoloring, or a few drops in the food chopper before grinding Sticky foods, such as figs,' raisins or dates, will make the grinder easier to clean and keep the food from sticking to the utensil. Banana “figs” are a form of food not generally familiar to American housewives, but are recommended as a desirable and nourishing food. These “figs” are really dried bananas. Firm ripe fruit is peeled and split lengthwise and dried either in the sun or by artificial heat. The drying process brings out some of the banana juice which covers the banana with a white sugary powder. In food value banana “figs”are said to compare favorably with other dried fruits. The agricultural experiment station in Hawaii has been experimenting with the drying of bananas because banana shipping facilities from Hawaii are not so fully developed as from the "banana coast” of Central America. “Underworld” the picture that critics and public alike have acclaimed as being in a class by itself.

STATE FUND RETURNED State departments and institutions have turned back into the general fund a total of $551,090 representing the amount of their appropriations that they did not spend during the fiscal year ended September 30, according to Gaylord Morton, deputy state auditor. The amount is equal to that which is produced by a 1-cent tax levy, Louis S. Bowman, state auditor, said in discussing the : return. The state tax levy i? 123 cents. Efficient and economic administration of the various departments and state institutions is responsible for the return ol $551,000 to the general fund. Auditor Bowman said. Approxi mately twenty departhients and institutions, such as thl insane hospitals. insurance departments and reformatory, found they had not nearly expended all their last appropriations when they balanced their books a few weeks ago. o— — Canaries dont’ require a fancy • menu. Canary seed, to which a little summer rape seed and hemp have been added, is a staple diet for the birds. Most housewives buy this feed in small quantities, ready-mixed for their pets. Canary seed alone 'isn’t enough for the birds, but if you’ll add that small quantity of summer rape and hemp seed, you’ll have a diet that fits to a T. In addition to the seed, supply a bit of lettuce or a small piece of apple frequently.

LINDBERGH IN MEXICO Col. Chas. A. Lindbergh flew from Washington to Mexico City in 27 hours in the "Spirit of St. Louis.” It is stated this will be the last trip for the famous "Spirit of St. Louis,” the plane which carried Lindy across the ocean and has covered nearly 35,000 miles since that time without the engine being overhauled. The plane will become the property of the Smithsonian Institute to be exhibited along with the many other things that mark the milestones in the progress of transportation. o 4* J The Diretcor of Aeronautics branch of the Commerce Department reports that during the first ten months of 1927 there were 167 aircraft accidents, with 109 fatalities, of whom 42 were pilots and 67 were passengers. Thirty-two were injured and 122, escaped injury. Only 19 of these planes were licensed.
