MISSIONARY TELLS OF CHINA

men to Aid Christian Work.
Miss Bess Combs, a missionary
from China, talked to the college wo-
men and girls of the different classes
at the Broadway Methodist Church
Sunday morning. Miss Combs lives
in st. Joseph, but has spent the last
five years in Sungkiang, China. She
is home for a year, serving as stud
ent secretary for the Woman's De-
partment of the Southern Methodist
Church.
Miss Combs talk was an appeal 10
college women to realize their great
opportunity in enlisting as helpers
in this field of Christian work. Miss
Combs mentioned the eagerness OF
American women to enlist in the Red
Cross service, but when the call for
missionaries comes, few respond.
Miss Combs presented a picture OF
the new Chinese civilization in an in
teresting way. She portrayed the
new type of China's young men and
women and the many things they can
do il they only have the chance.

of orders of this kind for delivery at

must be said that the banks and the
lO-cent stores are not suffering from
lack of trade. The banks are not be-
cause they are selling IS National
War Saving Certificates, which are
going to be popular as Christmas
gifts this year, and because, in the
nature of things, the bank is saw
ings institution and people prefer
saving to spending these days. The
public evidently feels as did the man
who said that there were only two
sure things in life, a Government
bond and heaven, for people are in
yesting heavily in Liberty Bonds and
War Certificates.
And because people must be eco
nomical with what money they do
spend, the 10-cent store business
thriyes daily. No wonder the man
ager of one of the 10-cent stores here
notices no difference in the attitude OF
the shoppers; they are spending their
money at the 1O-cent store, for here 1t
is that they may buy decorations and
toys, and many gifts for the soldiers,
at minimum of expense. Then, too,
these stores are making up special
boxes for the soldiers containing
such articles as trench mirrors, play
ing cards, handkerchiefs. pencils and
stationery. But the 10-cent store pro-
sperity is not typical of thhe volume

"The railroads are making every

movement OF unrest which has been
making Itself more and more felt in
Spain during the last two months. is
due to three factors: the agitation in
military circles. the discomfort of the
democratic party. (Which includes So
c~ialists, republicans and reformists).
and the unrest OF the working classes.
due to the privations Of the economic
crisis.
The dissatisfaction IN the army is
due to what IS held to be favoritism.
certain officers receiving advancement
through court influence. 1t is Claim
ed by the officers committees that the
king Is aiming to form a personal par
~ in the army on which he can rely
for events, A second reason for dis
content is the insufhciency OF officers
pay and the need for technical reor-
ganization in the army.
As important Is the agitation Of the
democratic group. which is daily
growing more dissatisfied with the
governments attitude towards the
b%elligerents and lack OF f~rrnness with
regard TO the Central Empires. This
group which comprises the various an
Unconstitutional parties and has been
supporting the government forms what
is called the Block of the Left" is
working with combined energies to
give Spanish neutrality a frankly en-
tentophile character. One OF the ends
in view is a diplomatic rupture with
the Central Empire. the pretext for
which would be the German submarine
exploits against Spanish shipping.
The third factor. the unrest in the

the fact that so far the army has

fore If the Block of the Left can
persuade the dissatisfied military eIe-

the democratic group, they will not
hesitate to make common cause with
them.
The democratic group is likewise
counting on turning the labor unrest
to its advantage. II a general strike

COAL AFFInAVITS
TO COST NOTHING

Appealing to the patriotism Of the
fuel merchants OF the state. Fuel Ad-
rntnistrator Byrd yesterday sent out
numerous letters asking that the no.
tary publics eliminate the customary
charges for the sworn afiidavits to be
used by the coal purchaser.
The plan of the sworn staten ents
now being used in Tennessee, and
lately adopted here, requires that each
customer must present a sworn state
nent about the amount of coal needed
and the number of tons on hand to
the recall merchant before fuel can be
sold. Blanks may be obtained at the
offices of any ef-th-- T-toti- coat and
fuel merchants and they must be
sworn 10 before "a notary public.
