When the Pope's attention was first
called to the barbarities rubber trad
ers were said to be perpet-ating on
the natives of the Putumayo district
in South America, his holiness at
once sent Father Genoochi to investi-
gate. His report was that the afro
cities We're as bad if not worse than
those committed in the Congo ten
years ago.
Fearing that diplomatic action
would be slow many English citizens
appealed to Plus to attempt to i'm
prove conditions and anxious as he
vas to comply. the pope declared him
self handicapped by the lack of funds.
The English committee, therefore
undertook to raise some $4,000.
Immediately after this, however,
the Peruvian ambassador to the vat
lean called on Plus and declared that
general belief had been expressed
in Peru that If religious missions
could be established in the Putumayo
district it would be possible to stop

Without waiting. therefore, for fur
Their money to be raised from the

the funds himself and extensive mis-

of course the league officials decision
will be the final one.
The presidents letter follows:

Most managers are thoroughly
versed with the details and would
ask that you kindly answer the fol-
lowing questions, on the attached
sheet and return to me as soon rs
possible. If you cannot give Yes

opinion.

Electricity Improves Streets
Try ii i'm Your House

People of Wilmington are pleased with the
dignity and refinement which marks Market
street since the new lighting system was in
stalled. Those who travel declare it is the most
pleasing which they have seen.
But here is point for you. Did you ever
stop to think that if electricity, with all the
handicaps of bad weather and exposure, pro-
duces such splendid effects outdoors that it
would produce even better ones in your home.
You can have the same kind of lights in your
house and at the same time enjoy all the pure
air for breathing purposes; avoid headaches
and that feeling of stiffness, as well protect
ing your eyes. That is one reason why all
institutions for the sick use electric lighting.
If you need electric light to get well by when
you are sick, why not have it to keep well by
when you are we'll?
OF course, you may not have thought of
this before, or you may have thought it was
all theory, but it is an absolute fact Come
in and talk it over with us. State your needs
and we will advise you. The advice costs you
nothing. Electric service will cost you very
little for the comfort and satisfaction which you
will get. It will cost you less than in many
other cities of this size.
