AS an aid in the Red Cross Christ
mas Seal sale and the Anti-Tubercu-
losis Campaign, a motion picture deal
ing with the problem of tuberculosis in
children has been prepared by Thomas
A. Edison, and beginning next week it
will be shown throughout the country.
The film was produced in cooperation
with the National Association for the
Study and Prevention of Tuberculo-
sis.
The plot of the picture which is enti-
tied 1.-THE Temple of Moloch," is laid
in small village, the chief industries
of which are some potteries, owned by
Harrison Pratt He also owns group
of dilapidated tenements, in which
most of his employees live. Dr. Jor-
dan, health officer of the village, is
struck with the prevalence of tubercu-
losis and on investigation finds that
unsanitary working conditions in the
Pratt potteries, together with the I'M
healthy state of the tenement homes
of the workmen have most to do with
the spread of the disease. He calls the
matter to the attention of Pratt, who
rebuffs him and tells him it is no use
to try to do anything in the matter.
Meanwhile DR.. Jordan has fallen IN
love with Eloise, the daughter of Har-
rison Pratt and she has become inter-
ested in his work, particularly that at
the preventorium for children from tu-
berculous families. Three times Jor-
dan appeals to Pratt, and each time he

Railroad Rebates Favored.

Germany takes different view of
railroad rebates from that of the Unit
ed States. A small shipper is always
required to pay higher rates than a big
shipper, and goods passing through
Germany get lower rates than goods
shipped from one German point to an
other. Railroad rates on export mer-
chandise are much lower than domes-
tic rates. When Nuremburg toy-mak-
ers want to asst the Hamburg Kriss-
Kringle the freight rate is 1888 per
ton; when they want to assist the New
York Santa Claus it is only $3.50 per
ton.
THE theory OF the German govern
ment is that every able-bodied man is
entitled to work and that the govern
ment must find something for him to
do If he cannot find it himself. Wher-
ever there is disagreement between a
/ laborer and his employer it must be
settled in a court created for that pur-
pose. Neither party is permitted by
law to offer or to accept a compro-
mise.
THE people of German cities live
amid surroundings of the law that are
different in theory and practice from
our own. In Berlin, for instance, it is
| forbidden in apartment houses to wa
ter flowers except between the hours
of 4 and in the morning; no one can
play piano before Z in the morning
or after at night; no bedding may be
aired from a front window; bathing
at night is forbidden; one may not en-
ploy a servant without complying with
police regulations or change his resi-
dence without police sanction. The
German justifes these things on the
ground that while they may sometimes
interfere with his convenience, by and
large they protect him from annoyance
much greater than those they entail.

is rebuffed. Finally, in despair, be-
tween love for Eloise and his duty, he
exposes the conditions he has discov-
cred through articles in the newspa-
pers, in which he calls the Pratt pot
teries and tenements a modern ITEM
pie Of Moloch," in that they feed young
children to the God of Greed. When
Eloise, who is ignorant of conditions
in the factory, sees the paper, she i'm
mediately resents what she considers
an insult to her father and returns her
engagement ring to DR.. Jordan
A week later Pratt's daughter and
son are found to have tuberculosis.
When Eric Swanson, a former en-
ploye of Pratt's, who had been dis
charged because he had contracted
''potter's rot" and was no longer able
to work. hears of it, he exults over
the calamity, which he views as sort
of personal vengeance. He musters all
of his strength and steals away to the
Pratt home, where Eloise and her
brother are taking the cure for tuber-
culosis on the porch and there de-
nounces Pratt, gloating over him and
telling him that his son and daughter
were originally infected as young chill
dren by Cora Swanson, when she serv-
ed as nurse-girl for the Pratts several
years ago. So struck is Pratt by, this
denunciation and the graphic story of
Swanson, which is affirmed by DR.. Jor-
dan, that he decides to clean up con-
ditions in his potteries and tenements

NORWAY ANSWERS CHARGES

CHRISTIANA, Nov. 21.-Aroused by
the published imputation that Norway
is engaged in smuggling petroleum in
to Germany, the government census
bureau has prepared figures showing
that the imports of this commodity
during August and September of this
year fell far below corresponding
months in other yaers.
According to this statement the i'm
ports of petroleum during August and
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1914-11-21

September were 6,172 tons against 25,-
900 tons for the same months in 1918,
1890 tons in 1912, 2O,5OO tons in 1911,
and 200 tons in 1910.
The marked falling off in imports
during August and September was ex-
planned by the fact that heavier i'm
ports during the first seven months had
left the country with good supply on
hand, with a slackening demand upon
the approach Of winter.

resulting from intensive farming and

France Sends First
Methodist Missionary
Into North Africa
Will Take Up Work in Algeria
Under Direction of DR..
Frease.

Methodists in France have sent
their first missionary into the field.
He is Pastor Lieure, and his work will
be in North Africa. under the super
intendency of DIR. Frease. Rev. Mr..
Lieure is one of the charter members
of France Mission, having been called
by Bishop Burt to the organizing con-
ference, which met in Geneva in May.
1907
From the first he has been secre-
tary of the conference. He has been
pastor first at Grenoble, then at
Chambery and for the past thirty
months at Lyons. His wife, an indie
fatigable worker, is the daughter of
the Italian pastor at Geneva.
At the Sunday morning service,
when Pastor Lieure was about to
make his farewell address, Superin-
tendent Bysshe explained the circum-
stances and felicitated the congrega-
ton in being the first congregation in
French Episcopal Methodism to wit
ness missionary farewell service.
Pastor Lieure, in his farewell SER
mon, explained that the invitation to
go to Africa seemed to him and his
wife a veritable call from God. They
had not taken much time to decide
that their place was in another col
ony, where he as loyal Frenchman
would give his life most effectively to
the service of his native land.
The afternoon service, which was
devoted to the meeting of the "Ac-
tivite' (the French form of the Ameri-
can Epworth League), was the occa-
sion of the farewell to the young peo-
pie. The service was marked by the
same note of sadness at the departure
of their pastor. The evening service
was held under the auspices of the
Blue Cross (temperance) Society.

Success Has Marked Outdoor
Religious Work of Y. M. c. A
Meetings in Military Park Bring converts-Auto Services At
tract Hundreds-Bbes Distributed

Young Mems Christian Association
These meetings are held on street
corners in different sections of the
city. Two nights are devoted to work
among English-speaking people and
two nights among Italians. The
message in English has been deliver
ed by Rev. Bergman II. Mccoy and
Rev. Warren p. Coon. e. A. Meyer,
a prominent layman of the city, has
also spoken from the automobile.
Rev. Peter Di Nardo has been the
preacher for his fellow countrymen
the Italians. Gospels in both English
and italians are distributed from the
automobile.
Extensive work is being done in the
Italian section. A multitude of for
eigners attend the meetings in the
Italian section, many of them women
carrying the children in their arms,
and the boys, often sitting on the
shoulders of their fathers, listen with
the greatest reverence to the Italian
preacher, Rev. Peter Di Nardo. They
are more demonstrative than Ameri-
can audiences, for after the sermon
is over the people cheer and applaud
to the echo.
On every corner that the meetings
are held the people wait expectantly
as the night comes around for the
auto and the speaker.
Meetings have been held in the Es-
sex county jail for men. During the
absence of the secretary, S. Leroy
Smith, Charles F. Buckley has been
conducting these services. Fred S.
Lynn, associate secretary for boys,
has been visiting the inmates of the
City Hospital. distributing reading
matter and interviewing over seventy
patients each week.
During the summer months people
have felt that it is too hot to sit
around the table and study the Bible,
but the association has felt this year
that it has owed something to the
men of Newark along this line. Each
Monday night group of men have
been meeting regularly and have been
discussing Bible study questions.
With an electric fan going and with
coats off, the men for one hour for
get about the heat and together
study the Word of God.

Thousands Spent
In Ceremonials of
Pope S Funeral
Burning of Candles and Lamps
Calls for Expenditure of
About $4,000.

Although a complete estimate Of the
cost of the pope's funeral is at this
time impossible, still proximate fig
ures can be given, based on the sums
spent on former occasions.
Vatican experts say that although
the ceremonies have been greatly re-
duced In number the emoluments and
perquisites attached TO the several
important offices of the Vatican and
Basilica and the extra pay OF can
ons and of minor priests who take
part in the ceremonies still remain
the chief item Of expense. The sala-
ries paid at the time of Leo's death
exceeded the sum Of $4,000.
To this sum the cost must be added
of the wax consumed. The quantity
OF wax required for the pope's fun
eral is enormous, as from the moment
he expires till he is laid at rest in
the temporary sarcophagus, thou
sands OF candles are kept burning day
and night for ten consecutive days.
The cost of wax must be added 20
that Of the oil for the lamps and
torches and the total Is figured at no
less than $4,000
The cost of the erection OF the cen
otaph is put now at $4,000. In former
times they cost a good sized fortune.
AS small cenotaphs are erected in
all the principal churches In which
ceremonies are also performed, the
total cost of the funeral is figured
at no less than 100000
This sum is nothing compared to
what a papal funeral used to cost in
former years. 1t was Plus ". u559-
1872 who first put a check TO the
enormous expenditure connected with
a popes funeral. Plus ~. fixed the
total amount of money to be spent At
ten thousand gold ducats, or $4,000.
and one hundred years later Pope
Alexander VIII. reduced 1t to $1,000,
strictly forbidding the Sacred Col
lege to spend more than $3.50 for
the cenotaph.
In those times the above mentioned
sums were considered extravagant.
Today, however, with the increased
cost of material and the higher stand
ard of living of even those who serve
God, these sums are easily exceeded.
The expenses of the funeral are
paid in equal share by the Chapter
of Canons of st. Peters and the
Vatican.
