TUBERCULOSIS SUNDAY.
Thousands of Churches to Observe the
Day Dec. or 10.

More than 100000 churches and other
religious organizations are expected to
observe tuberculosis Sunday on Dec.
3 or 10, this year making the seventh
annual participation of religious bod
les in an intensive campaign. to educate
the public on the subject of tubercu-
losis.
Two Sundays have been designated
by the National Association for the

the one which will best fit in with their
program of services. These dates come
at the beginning and end of tubercu-
losis week, which is conducted under
the direction of the National associa-
ton. For those worshiping on Satur-
day, Dec. or 9 have been set aside.
The fact that tuberculosis Sunday is
an undenOminationa and non sectarian
movement is being emphasized il order
that all possible religious groups may
be reached. In addition, many social,
fraternal and civic organizations are
planning to hold meetings on one of
these days or at other times during
tuberculosis week. Fifteen hundred

Citations in every state in the Union are
assisting in arousing enthusiasm and
organizing the campaign so that on
these days the subject of tuberculosis
will be presented to the greatest posi-
BILE number OF people.
1t is estimated that last year 2.000,-
| 900 pieces of literature were distrib-

obligations and receive the right hand of
fellowship from the pastor, who accom-
panics it with a few earnest and appropri-
ate words OF encouragement and admoni-
ton to each candidate. Each member OF
the church then welcomes the new mem
bcrs, and forming in IA line join hands
while the pastor repeats the fact that they
are all brothers and sisters joined together

How To Stop Strikes.

Compulsory investigation before

a necessary expedient which can be

1t is a regulation of one groups power

is to forestall conflict not by ad hoe in

 Another aftermath of the revolt came today with the resignation Of Augustine Birrell, chief secretary for Ireland.
 LONDON May 3-The announcement in the House of Commons by the prime minister that leaders in the rebellion in Ireland had been court martialed and summarily executed, created profound feeling, although this action by the government was ex- pected.
 Premier Asquith at the same time announced that Sir Roger Easement, who was one of the prime movers in the uprising and who now is a pri- soner in the Tower of London. would be tried with the utmost expedition.

WASHINGTON. May 3.-Advocates of the Shields Water Power Bill, pending in Congress, won their fight in the National Conservation Con gress today when the congress vot- ed 10 adopt a majority committee report endorsing the measure. Clifford PPinchot who at the last Congress three years ago defeated proposal somewhat similar opposed today's ac- tion Charges that the convention was backed by the power interests were made and denied.
 The vote, 116 to 39, came after the divided committee debated all after neon. The minority report opposed endorsement of any legislation and de manded a declaration of principles holding that power sites should be retained by the government and that all water power development should be under public control.
 The Pinchot delegates charged that the congress had been called to create
 sentiment favorable to the Shields and Meyers bills and that it did not represent the true sentiment of the country. Mir Pinchot declared spec ial interests were trying to mould congress into lobby for water power legislation.
