talion fire chiefs, to compel hous<
holders to remove from their premise
all combustible material and refusi

time jobs.
Dallas, Texas, took a church cer
sus'of its population and each house
holder was asked if some special od
job, painting, carpentry, gardeninp

of the replies and addresses, with th
result that large number of days o
work were secured for the most needj

Each ward in Rockford, 111., ha
a committee with the two aldermei

turn have organized precinct com
mittees with a member in charge o
each city block. Personal contact lik<
this has resulted in a very successfu
campaign to provide jobs and reliev*
distress, the report said.
Sohncctady, N. Y., has taken car

| Statistic* of Students
il In Schools
Chicago, Jan,, 14.?Oregon, Iowa,
19 and Utah have the largest number of
!3 students In college, according to their
'd respective populations and Tennessee
8? has the lowest proportion, with Ark1
ansas and New Mexico closely followr*
ing Tennessee, Dr. George F. Zook of
D the United States Bureau of Education
told the Association of American
colleges here today. Dr. Zook stated
w that he obtained this information from
statistics compiled for thelawfull cole
lege year of 1920-1921.
t- "The statistics also reveal that the
5- Western States of Californa, Oregon
's and Utah take rare of a larger proportion
of their students in their own
13 colleges and universities than any
't other states," continued Dr. Zook.
"New Jersey brings up the rear with
l" Connecticut follows with 35.G per
" cent.
d "On the other hand, the Eastern
f? States of New Hampshire, Connectie
cut, Maryland, New Jersey, and Mas>t
sachusetts contain the institutes that
e draw most powerfully from other
f states. Indeed the highest institutir
ons in the States are training a larger
3 number of non-residents than they
d are of citizens of their respective
it states."
Dr. Zook also announced that the
t attendance at universities, colleges,
d and profesional schools last year
reached 450,000, which is a gain of 30
t per cent over the attendance in the
b war year of 1917-18.
' Accurate figures of foregir. students
i- in American colleges and universities
I, were also supplied by Dr. Zook, the
a total being 6,900. China loads with

- U. S. Navy 99.7
Pure American
Washington, Jan. 16.?The United
States navy is 99.7 per cent purr
r American.
Secretary Denby is proud of his
* navy and said today that it was the
best navy in the world, backing his
statement by figures recently com3
piled by the Bureau of Navigation
II which show that on July 1 ,native
11 born sailors represenc 91.82 per cent;
" naturalized rrien 2.99 per cent; Coloni- ,
al natives, 4.89 per cent and the bal- ,
3 ance aliens. The last named number
only 352 men. At the end of the fis- ,
B cal year, the navy comprised 119,205
men of which number 109,457 were ,
e natives, 5,829 were born in Guam;
r Samoa, the Philippines or Virgin Is- ,
lands, and 3567 were naturalized citizens.
3 The figures also show it is a hand- i
* picked navy for out of 135,993 applicants,
only 72,386 were accepted. j
It is a healthy navy afloat and
J % -
asnore, according to the statement of
the surgeon general.
It is a well behaved navy, too, as
only 6.8 per cent of the total number (
3 of discharges were dishonorable, and
but 6.08 per cent of the total men in
the service during the year deserted.
Good conduct medals in" the service toy
tal over 6,000, some men having eight
j to their credit also testify to the char^
acter of the enlisted men.
The distribution of men by states
gives New York the lead in both nativity
and residence; 13,452 in the
' former and 14,170 in the latter. Pennsylvania
comes second in each list,
with 9951 and 9299 respectively. The
native sons' list gives third place to
Massachusetts, fourth to Illinois, and
n fifth to Texas.
y Out of the total, 119,205 sailors
there are 110,024 white; 5545 Philip'
pinos; 2385 negroes; 196 Chinese; 88
s Japanese; 139 Samoans; 249 Chamooros;
296 Hawaiians; 197 Porto
Ricans and 86 American Indians.
The American Navy also is a young
navy; 45,555 being under 21; twoj
thirds of them are 24 years and under:
" and only 904 are above 45, although 53
, are over GO and still active.
Eight per cent of the enlisted men
are married, a total of 983G men. Over
I half the men have had previous sea
service, and 449 of them have served
over 20 years.

Miners Interested in i
Question of New Wage
Indianapolis, Ind., Jan. 15.?Approximately
400,000 soft coal miners, j
scattered throughout more than 20 s
states, are vitally interested in the ^
question of whether a new wage
agreement with the soft coal operators
will be signed before the end of
March, said a statement issued today
from tho headquarters of the United
Mine Workers of America here. j
"The present agreement under ^
which the miners are working expires j
on March 31t" the statement adt\., j
"and unless a ne wagreement is negotiated
in time to take effect on April
1 these 400,000 miners will find themselves
without any kind of wage rates 1
and they will not know what they are v
to receive for their work in the next c
two years. Some of the members of 1
the United Mine Workers of America
are doubtful as to whether a new *
agreement will be reached, but there *
are many others who say they believe J
that the coal operators will not allow c
the first day of April to arrive without c
a wage scale having been agreed t
opon." *
The union officials are still hopeful t
that an agreement will be signed be- t
fore that date, the statement adds. *
"When John L. Lewis, president of t
the miners' union, called a meeting of \
miners and operators for January 6 in c
Pittsburg it was thought thnt negoti- t
ntions looking to the working out of V
a new wage agreement would soon be e
well on their way," the statement con- t
tinues. "This meeting was called for i
the purpose of selecting a date and a
place for a joint wage conference field, f
composed of Western Pennsylvania, ?
Ohio, Indiana and Illinois. But the j
entire plan was scrapped by the action (
of the operators of the Pittsburg district
and two large groups of Ohio e
operators in refusing to meet with the ^
representatives of the miners. The ^
operators of Indiana and Illinois had
tentatively agreed to the meeting, but n
when the Pittsburg and Ohio opera- ,,
tors refused President Iowis regarded c
it as useless to hold the Pittsburgh ^
meeting and he called it off. This
left the entire subject of wages and
working conditions 'in the mines for
the next two years up in the air.
"Surely the operators will yet meet
with the miners and negotiate a wage
agreement to take the place of the ^
one that expires on March 31. The t
public remembers only too well the ^
chaos in industry and business that Q
followed the stubborn refusal of the
operators to meet with the miners in
1919, and it will not permit the operators
to force another situation like j
that one that developed in that year.
And the miners do not want such a ^
thing to happen again." ^
Every Country Represented J
At Arms Conference J*
Washington, Jan. 15.?Journalists ^
sf more or less note, authors of greater
or less standing and plain, every- ^
day reporters, all to the total of 512 fi
have been or still are engaged in telling
the world what goes on in the ^
armament conference.
An official list of the "accredited ,
correspondents" as issued by the committee
having charge of press ar- ^
rangements shows that practically
every country of size noted on a mod- j
ern map has one or more press representative
on the ground. Japan tak- B
ing first place among foreign nations
with about 40 correspondents. 1
The list as published comprised only
thoso writers who had been accredited
to the state department. It was estimated
that at least half as many more r
probably were active on the "side *
lines" assisting those assigned directly
to the conference or its subsidiary activities.

Y. C. Tong Buried
in Shanghai
Shanghai, Dec. 15.?(By Mail).?
Y. C. Tong, who was one of the first 1
group of Chinese students to seek '
education in the United States and '
wno in laier uie Decaine Known as
"the father of American students,"
is buried in Shanghai in accordance
with wishes expressed before his
death early in November.
Forty-five years ago with a number
of other Chinese youths he crossed
the Pacific in a sailing ship to enter
an American school. While crossing
the United States the train which
carried the Chinese students was attacked
by the famous bandit Jesse
James and his gang and all of the
passengers including the Chinese
were stripped of their possessions.
With a number of other Chinese students,
Mr. Tong was recaled from
America by the Manchu government
which believed that these Chinese
youths were becoming 'foreignized.' ^
When he feturned to China he was .
imprisoned for a month because of j
his foreign ways and it was while in
prison that he resolved that he would ,
in future give al aid in his power to ,
Chinese boys who desired to seek edu- ^
cation in America.
This resolution was faithfully kept, (
for perhaps not one of the many Chinese
who have gone to America since ,
that time but has had assistance in j
some form from Y. C. Tong.
To thousands, Mr. Tong has long
been known as China's greatest baseball
fan and when next season comes
he will be missed by the Shanghai ,
baseball club to whose members he
was not only a familiar figure at the
games, but also at all the practice
sessions preceding the regular seasons.
He was 61 at the time of his
death which folowed a seizure that i
occurred while he was at his desk
in the Red Cross hospital, one of the
many institutions to which he gava
time and financial support.

Sabbath Leave For
College Professon
Chicago, Jan 13.?The question o
Sabbath Leave for College professor!
s of great importance to the collegi
world and one which should rank witl
the questions of salary, pensions am
other matters which have to do witl
the success end prosperity of thos<
to whom we entrust the education o
our youth. Propfessor Otis E. Randal
of Brown University, Providence, H
told the Association of Americai
Colleges here today
"Many institutions regard the prac
tice of granting to the officers of in
struction leave of absence under gen
erous conditions, not as a privilege
earned by faithful service on the par
of the instructor/' said Prof. Randall
"but as an obligation to the institu
Lions themselves for the sake of thei
own efficiency and usefulness. As j
result of a questionaire sent out b;
out committee the president of one o
the New England Colleges said tha
he regarded the granting of sabbati
leave as about as good an investimen
as the college could make.
"Others suggested that the college
would do well to set aside specia
funds for the purpose of financing i
plan of sabbatic leave under generou
conditions in the same way as fund
are set aside for financing a pensioi
system. One president had gone s
far as to suggest the wisdom of bring
ing the matter to the attention o
some of our public benefactors in th
hope of securing a foundation upo
whieh a generous plan of sabbati
lenve might he worked out for all th
colleges. (
"The majority of the colleges rc
port that they are already makin
some sort of provision for leave o
absence. ,
"It is a common opinion that th
college for the sake of her hrtellectud
health should adopt some policy b
which it shall be possible for eac
member of the faculty of professioni
rank to leave his post every sevent

Golf Links in Heart of Paris
i
^ Paris, Jan. 14.?Parisian golfers,
1 unable, because of business, to go to
1 their country clubs, have brought a
1 golf links right into the heart of
Paris. An indoor golf club, unique
in Europe, has just been opened on the
Champs-Elysees, with putting greens
* transplanted from Dieppe.
The greens are laid in the middle
' of a long hall and tables are set
e around them so that members can dino
while others play or have dinner after
'? a game. The lofty tunnel or hall
" where the game is played, is illuniir
nated at night and makes possible
8 practice shots of 40 years.
Y When the ball hits the side curtains,
* it is returned on the green on an in*
clined plane. There are many ingenic
ous bunkers of various shapes made
^ of real turf. Practice in approach
shots is afforded in many ways.
8 Membership in the new club is restricted
to the members of the leading
8 Paris clubs and 250 persons already
8 have applied for membership. Indoor
8 golf now is expected to become a popn
ular sport among wealthy Parisians,

WHAT'S wrong with the American family; Dad
looks worried?like a man that has received a dun
>n a past due bill. Mother very plainly wears the air of
laving heard a recent lecture about extravagance. Sister's
troubles are audible; she is downright vexed about
t party frock that was halfway promised but did not
naterialize. And son?well he just cannot see why he
muld not have at least a small supply of pocket money.
Have we correctly described the symptoms? Now we
diall diagnose the trouble: Maladjustment in money
natters. That's all. The American Family is perfectly
annul and perfectly secure in its broader relationships
if duty, devotion and happiness?except for a lack of the
ssential harmony between income and outgo.
Now comes the Budget Plan, which, in brief, is the
dea of fixing in advance an allowance for all necessities
ind pleasures. It is a good plan, if we will be consistent j
n its use. We should remember that it is no more thai
i plan; not a panacea. Let's remember, too, that the
iverage income is really sufficient for the average needs
?and must be sufficient. And very earnestly let's face
