Americans should keep out of Eur> ope, unless they have Important bus! umhv there, until Europeans have had an opportunity to set on their feet agaiy. declares I)r. J. F. Ix>ve, seere lary of the Foreign Mission Hoard of the Southern Baptist Convention. Dr. L,ove, aa chairman of a commia sion named by the Baptist 75 Million Campaign to visit Europe and make a survey of the mission field* there, has just returned from a five montha' tour of the continent. He says Americana have distributed cash with such a lav? 1*b band toman jr places -on t ho cont^ nent that the people have become con vinced that every American has money to throw away and as soon aa they spot a cltiaen frc<n this country they ^proceed to -overcharge him for every thing be buys and every service ren dered.

Carry on Relief Work. While the program which Southern BaptiKts will carry on in the European countries which they have* not ocou pied before will not be determined un til after the commission has reported to the Foreign Mission Board, members of the commission found crying need for money with which to meet cases demanding immediate relief and cabled home for funds to be employed in this c6nnection in northern France and Belgium. This money was promptly forwarded and has been distributed through an agency set up in Paris in conjunction with the Foreign Mission ary Society of the Northern Baptist! Convention. Prior to the visit of this commission, missionary work by South ern Baptists in Europe lias been con fined to Italy and Bohemia. However.' the commission visited England. Scot-, lAnd. France, Belgium. Holland and Italy, but found it impossible to get jl into Czecho-Slovakla. the Balkans and Russia at this time. Palestine and Egypt Visited. I After the tour of Europe had been completed, the commission, which in. eluded r)r. Z. T. Cody, editor of the Baptist Courier, of (ireenville,NS. C.t and Dr. Everett C.ill, formerly mission, ary to Italy, hut now a pastor in Kan sas City, went to Palestine to look into I the missionary work there formerly clone by the Baptists of Southern 111!- J Hois, but recently taken over by the) Foreign Mission Hoard of the Southern j Baptist Convention. A trip into Egypt for the purpose of studying the Moham- ^ i medan situation was made by the party j 1 while awaiting a ship on which to re- i i turn to Ttaly. So far. Christianity has ( i made very little inroad on Mtrhamme- ? danism anywhere Dr. Love found, j though some of the missionary agen- ! ries in Palestine have been established for more than a half century. Tie an- , , ticlpates a better chance for the Chris- ! ! tlan religion there, following British ! occupation of thut country Establish Orphanage in Rome. ? Bv reason of the liberal response j from the native Christians in the mrf-1 j ous mission fields to the 75 Million j 1 Campaign, many improvements on I j those fields have been made possible.1 Among the enlargements already pro- j ; vided for aro an orphanage in Rome, i the addition of a girls' department at ' ' Rio College In. Brazil, and land for a ! ' girls' school at Sao Paulo, Brazil The Interior China Mission was asked for $5,500 for the campaign, and the missionaries there subscribed this I , alone, while the native converts added i j $4,500 The North China Mission has | j subscribed $50,000, while Brazil will J 1 respond with nearly $1,000,000. In . South Brazil the campaign as It was j j carried on in the South, was duplicated with all the special days and other ex- j traordinary efforts and the response is far beyond the anticipations of the 1 I Foreign Mission Board. In Argentina j the asked was $75,000, while the returns from that country hare already ' reached 1126.000.

Ten Minutes with this Elegant J^[ew Chalmers Tells You the Story Quality f it ? I YOU find it starts at once; that it is running with amaz ing sweetness in a few seconds. You note no vibration. You call for speed and you get results. You tone it down aifd sou detect a willing and perfect servant obeying every wish. Ten minutes gives you a recast opinion on motor cars. Your admiration for a Chalmers deepens. You search for die cause and you find it in Hot Spot and Ram's-horn. You may or may not know that "gas" is worse this year than last, that it is becoming heavier and heavier and harder and harder to "burn." Few engines have met this serious condition. . The great Chalmers engfhe has. It takes the low grade "gas," throws it against the Hot Spot, which vaporizes the "gas" into a "cloud," and makes it "fine for fuel." Ram's^horn, minus sharp corners and abrupt bends, rushes it to the cylinders at a velocity of 100 miles an hour. Thus the cylinders get a fuel that they can "burn," can "digest," instead of "lumpy" or "rainy" kind of "gas." Not only can you note results in a distinguished sirtooth ness of action, but in your repair bills. For Hot Spot and Ram's-horn provide against thinned out lubrication and consequent burned bearings, scored cylinders, frequent fouling of spark plugs, and wasted "gas" through the exhaust Ten minutes will tell; and then you, too, will say Chalmers is one of the few great cars of the world.
