BETWtfcM TWO INFIRMARI!
In one of the most extensive fights ;
that has ever been made by any re- j
liglou* body In America for the ersdi- '
eattou of disease, Southern Baptists,1
through their Home Mission Board,
have undertakon the task of combating
tuberculosis in tho 18 states comprising
the territory of the Southern
Baptist Convention. The first step in
this direction was the recent eatab-;
lishment on a tract of 143 acres at El
Paso, Texas, of the Southern Baptist
Sanatorium, where $500,000 from
the 76 Million Campaign has been invested
and where $500,000 more will
be placed by the end of the Campaign
period. The Institution is located at
an altitude r.i 4,500 feet on the side of
Mt. Franklin and commands an excellent
view of the mountains of New
Mexico, Western Texas and Old
Mexico, whose border Is only six miles
distant. Dr. H. F. Vermillion is superintendent.
Included in this plant at present are
the administration building, the newly
completed women's infirmary and
men's infirmary, a heating and refrigerating
plant nnd the superintendent's
quarters. Provided for in the
building plans for the future are a
medical and educational building,
nurses' home, children's building,
dormitories foj- convalescent patients,
an occupational and vocational therapy
building, <shapel, laundry and minor
e-r tructures.

Russian Bolshevik
Suffering From Hunger
Samara, on the Volga, Nov. 19.?
(By a Staff Corespondent of The Associated
Press).?The numerical and
geographical extent of the great
famine cannot be given. There is today
and has been as much food available
in Samara, for those who have
money, as in Baku, -on the Caspian
Sea, 2,000 miles distatn. The Russian
refugees from Bolshevism in
Constantinople are suffering from
hunger and lack of clothing almost
as much as those Russians in Poltava
and th6y in their turn as mhch as
those in Orenburg.
The Associated Press correspondent
completed a journey from Constantinople
to Moscow by way of Tiflis,
Baku, Astrakhan and Samara, and
everywhere found intense misery, the
most sordid of which was seen in
the dreary steppe region between
Tiflis (Georgia) and Baku (port of
Azerbaijan on the Caspian Sea).
There revolution after revolution
for five years, has left a trail of destruction
and ruined houses and
wrecked railway stations which cannot
be matched in Russia. Added to
the lack of food, is the constant battle
with malaria, cholera, and typhus,
and ndded to these is the cold
against which there is little shelter or
luei.
No more pathetic sigh was seen
than that of the Baku central railway
station where thousands of men, women
and children, going nobody could
say where, were camped on dirty sid.
ings, for the most part dressed in
rags and eating scraps of food like
hunted animals.
To the north, along the Volga in
Russia, the misery is often of the respectable,
cleanly kind. At Czaritzyn
thousands of families are living in
railway cars. Others have been housed
in villas and palaces.
Beggiflg in rather the exception
than the rule everywhere in the fam
ine regions. *
The German colonists villages and
towns along the Volga are so clean'y
and orderly, surrounded by such florid
luxuriance of fleld and forest, that it
it hard to believe their people are
sufferm* ^orn hunger. As everywhere
in Russia, the churches are
open, and services are held. At Volsk,

67,782. The death rate from tutyerculoRis
is 14.2% higher iu the South
than in the Nation a8 a whole. One
reason for the exceedingly high death
rate in the South is the great prevalence
of the plague among the negroes
who are especially susceptible to tubereulo.-is,
the death rate among them
being three and one-half times that
among the whites. But inasmuch as
the negroes will doubtless continue to
be intimately associated with the
whites in domestic and other work in
the future, the whites will never be
safe from infecfion until the negroes,
as well as the whites, have beep freed
from the plague. *
It has teen estimated that the total
economic loss from the ravages
of tuberculosis in the South is $175,000,000
a year, and in projecting their
warfare against the plague the Baptists
hope to greatly reduce thii loss,
as well as to save the life and promote

Would Educate the People.
In addition to providing treatment
tor persons who have already conwhen
the correspondent attended vespers,
he was followed out of the
church by one of the priests who begged
that food confie from America before
his people starved.
In the worst areas there is far
more hunger swelling than was seen
in Vienna in the winter of 1918. This
is the last stage of starvation and
when it comes neither foor nor medicine
will help.
The majority of such cases are to
be seen in the cities, about the railway
station, in the trains or about
the landing stages and on the steamers
of the Volga, where hundreds of
thousands of peasant wanderers are
seeking to reach friends in districts
where they imagine food conditions
are better. The government is trying
to discourage such wanderings but
they are continuing. 4
The distances made by peasant
families is incredible. At Saratov,
about the river front, may be met
families from Orenburg going toward
Ukraine, where the crops did not
fail, and then families from Astrak.
han going Up river to some one of
the German villages such as Volsk
or Baronov.
While there is perfect order in all
Russia, on every hand the individual
struggle for life, for daily fod, is
bitter and hard. No one thinks ol
anyone elpe. Robbery is limited, as
robbers are shot when caught, but
tricltery in small trading is the rule,
A warm place to sleep, something tc
eat, and clothing, are the beginning
and end of daily life. Children arc
brushed aside, ignored or treated like
little animals.
A person invited to a meal will eat
twice what good manners would permit.
He is laying1 in a stock of food
building up his body, he figures, foi
the winter cold. Those with monej
are hoarding food. In some place!
peasants refuse to sell bread at anj
price. They are afraid of the wintei
famine.

trastod tuberculosis, the sanatorium It
carrying on an educational work that
seeks to inform the public at large
through the printed page, as to the
danger of tuberculosis, how it can be
avoided and how, on.ee it is contracted,
its progress can he arrested
through proper sanitary measures at
home. Other phases of toe educational
program include the training
of worker* inside the sanatorium and
occupational and vocational work for
patients. The extension department
is widely disseminating literature on
how to combat tuberculosis. An endowment
fuud that is being croaffli
for the institution will make possible
a much larger circulation of literature
and will also enable the institution to
take care of indigent patients.
The sanatorium is at present seeking
to devise special plans whereby
it can serve the negroes of the South
in combating tuberculosis. It is felt
that the negroes' inability to help
themselves in the matter entities tne*n
to this consideartion and that this
assistance should be given, further
more, as a means of self-protectio?Q oa
the part of the whites.
The piercing of women's ears for
the wearing of ear-rings is a survival
of the old heathen customs of
mutilating the body to please some
god.

Abolition of the Senate
Melborne, Nov. 19.?The InterState
Labor Conference has terminated
its proceedings by adopting a proposal
of Premier Theodor of Queensland,
in favor of making the common1
wealth the supreme governing authority
of Australia with unlimited
powers, states to have only such
functions as the commonwealth con1
fers and the commonwealth to have
the right to create new states.
The scheme, which is a drastic form
of unification, provides for the abolition
of the Senate, the vesting of the
final jurisdiction in all cases in the
1 High Court, and disallowing the ac_
ceptance of Imperial honors in any
circumstances by any Australian citizen.

Asks That Circulars

" business men of New York to discon;
tinue, as far as possible, the mailing
of large quantities of circulars and

ntely preceding Christmas day. This
i is to enable the post-office to handle
the great quantity of Christmas mail
i which begins to run heavy about two
; weeks before the holiday.
The postmaster stated that busi>
ness men aided him last year in pre'
venting congestion of mail at that
! time by withholding mail which could
' be deferred until after Christmas.
In urging them to do the same this
: year, he stated that it had been ascer
taincd that many persons transport?

catalogues should arrange their ad^

Gift of LiUrarv to Yale
New Haven, Conn., Nov. 21.?Acceptance
by the Yale Corporation of
the gift of a library of Argentine literature,
places within the university
the largest and b^st selected collection
of South American literary works in
the United StateThe donor of the
library, which has just been installed,
was Carlos Alfredo Tornquist of
Buenos Aires. It numbers 500 volumes.
The presentation was made by
Enrique Gil, a member of the Argontine
Bar, who has offices ?n New York
City. It had been a aged that
Thomas LeBreton, the Argentine ambassador
to the United States, should
be present when the library was formally
turned ovt# to the Corporation
but at the last moment he was unable
to come and Senor Gil, a friend of
both Mr. Tornquist and Ambassado
LeBreton, attended the Corporation
meeting.
The library * contains specially
bound volumes on history, law, letters,
oratory and sociological subjects.
Mr. Tornquist is a professor in the
University of Buenos Aires, and long
had had admiration for Yale University.
The Yale collection of Latin-Americn
books now numbers several thousand
volumes. /
Leaders in India Removed
London, Nov. 20.?Three of the
most active of the followers of Ghandi,
the Independence leader in India,
have been removed from activity for

years' imprisonment imposed at Karachi,

sedition and causing disaffection
among the troops.
According to information received
here, the Ali brothers have been a
source of trouble to the British government
in India for some years. They
were interned in 1915 on charges of
having promoted sympathy for the
King's enemies in the war. Four
years later, in 1919, they were imprisoned
on charges of disloyalty in
the Afghan war, but were released after
about six months' imprisonment,
under a royal proclamation of clemency
toward political prisoners at the
tie of the passing of the India Reform
Act.
It is claimed that they at once renewed
their activity against the government.
Mahomed Ali was selected
leader of the Caliphate delegation
which came to London last year and
was granted interviews by the prime
minister.
' On returning to India, it is charged
that he prompted the migration of
pious Musselmans from India to Afghanistan,
which migration was part
of the Caliphate agitation. Some 18,000
persons left their homes in the
frontier provinces.of India but soon
returned after suffering severe hardships
in Afghanistan.
The government charged that the
Ali brothers were in cloee association
with Ghandi and moved up and down
the country conducting a campaign of
non-cooperation and made constant
appeal to the militant fervor of their
co-religiorists.
Asking for Dry Zone
Santiago, Chile, Nov. 18.?President
Alessandri has announced that
he intends to ask Congres to pass legislation
prohibiting the sale of all
intoxicants in the industrial centers
of Chile. These include the coal mining
districts in the south and the nitrate
fields in the northern province?*
The president's announcement was
in reply to requests from various so..
. cieties asking for a "dry zone" in
the coal mining districts where a
clash occurred recently between work'
ers, alleged to have been intoxicated,
and government troop*. Eight of the
worker* were killed and 20 wounded
before order was restored.

Moving Pictures in Tahiti
Papeete, Tahiti, Oct. 11.?(By
Mail).?During tho past month, Tahiti
has bean a vast moving picture
studio. A company of American
"movie" actors has been staging a
hectic drama of love and hate in th"
South Seas. The coconut groves and
fairy valleys have echoed to the cries
of frenzied directors and clicking of
cameras until the lotus eaters have
been awakened from their beatific
dreams; and the tinkle of much back
shesh has stirred even the Tahitian
native to got up and bustle.
It has not been one "grand sweet
song" for the director. There has
been no little difficulty in getting the
native "supers" to take their parts
seriously. When the big aeroplane
engine started the hurricane, which
was to sweep the native villago to the
four quarters of the compass, the inhabitants,
instead of rushing from
their tottering huts and registering
consternation, stood around in groups
laughing at the artificial destruction
and incidentally spoiling several hun
drcd feet of valuable film. Nor has it
been easy to induce pious church
members (whose ancestors repudiated
heathenism over a hundred years
fcgo) to bow down with convincing |
abandon to the big papier_mache idol
(made in the U. S. A.) set up before
the mystic grotto?especially with
their friends and relatives standing
about making ribald remarks.
It has nevertheless, been a joyous
month for the islanders. They haw
long been ardent devotees of the mov
ing pictu.e theatre; and this opportunity
of witnessing the teehniiuie of
the making: of pictures has afforded
them much delight.
