A PAYING INVESTMENT
 @ FOR BIRMINGHAM PEOPLE
By REV. DIR. J. $. CHADWICK Former editor Alabama Christian Advocate


 their community find, too, there are many Nashville residents who located here because the city offered superior educat ational advantages for their sons and daughters. They are people who have added much to the material and moral welfare of their city. The schools of Nashville brought these people who have invested in homes and in various enterprises of the city.
 Birmingham and Howard colleges made stronger and given larger oppor- tunities for service will bring to your city no small number of families from other sections of Alabama And these additions to your population will be of a class of men and women who will do their part in making Birming ham a bigger and better city. These additions alone would well justify from a business standpoint the invest ment of s2O0,O00.
 It would be worth something to Bir- mingham to gain in a large degree the good will and gratitude of 100000 Bap- tipst and Methodist people who live ins every section of Alabama. Your con tributions to these colleges would be known to more people of the state than would any other enterprise that could be launched in your city. and would do more to gain for Birming- ham the good will of Alabamians be- yond your borders than would almost any other civic movement.
 Birmingham is great in it's resources and in it's achievements. As former resident of your city and one who is still personally interested in it's growth and prosperity, I am proud of Birmingham-not merely of it's ma terial prosperity, but of its high type of citizenship. You can make Bir-

From Birning- ham came to my work in Nashville, and my church relations as well as other ties bind me to Alabama and Birmingham. can write from the viewpoint of one who has seen here in Nashville how valuable an asset to a city is an educational institution of high grade
 Consider first what an investment of $200,000 in Birmingham college and Howard college would bring to the city of Birmingham. It is a moder- ate estimate that with this amount added to their present equipment these colleges can within a short time increase their student enrolment by at least 100. If we consider only the unanc1al returns on the investment IL will mean at least s20,0O0 annually for Birmingham. And incidentally it will bring far larger returns to the city.
 I have noted that among the citizens of Nashville today are many men who first came to the city as students men who received here their college and university training and who de- cided to remain. It needs not to be said that in the main they are citi- zens who are giving real service to

Who Lives in South America?

0TOM IHe WOTlQ OullOOk.
 Although there Is a larger habitable area in South America than in North America, there are only half as many people in the southern continent.
 And only third of South Americas population is of pure white blood
 In Peru and Ecuador, only one per- son in II is white: nearly fhree-quar- ters are Indian. the rest are Chinese and mixed-very mixed.
 A million immigrants a year were pouring into South America before the war. They came from Italy, Spain, Germany, England, Holland. Scandi- hc..s. Portugal China, Japan and In- dia: but there is no immigration move ment from North America.
 There are nearly half a million Ita,- lans near Buenos Aires in Argentina.
 The government of Brazil has re cently arranged with the Japanese government to encourage Japanese inn migration. Under this agreement at least 5000 Japanese year are to be landed in Brazil.
 ! There are over. 6000 900 Africans Among the 17.o00.000 of people in Bra sil and many of them the crudest type of negro on the American hemisphere.

Record Boy Scout Hike

Ray Burns, in the World Outlook.
 The lively Boy Scouts of the Ameri- can institute at La Paz, Bolivia, have made record hikes both into the tropics and to the tops of some of the snow capped mountains. One troop, starting from the American Institute, tramped 150 miles to the City of Oruro, Bolivia, in four and one-half days. Most or this journey was across the high Bo- livia plains at an altitude of nearly 13o0o feet. Asthe boys neared Ou- rora they were met by troop of bi- cycle scouts some IS miles from the city Later they were met by men on horseback, and cheering groups in car riages lined the road and made their entry triumphant
 Parents and friends of some of the boys had come to meet them with car riages, expecting to haul" them back. But of the 19 boys starting on this hike, every one was able to reach port in good condition and without outside assistance.
 One of the striking features of the banquet given them at Oruro was that in land where booze" Is drunk from the cradle to the grave by the entire population, not one drop of alcohol vas served at the table.

The Shoestring Renuhlic

Dan Ward in World Outlook
 Chile is as long as from New York to San Francisco and as narrow as Lake Erie! Truly a "shoestring re- public" She is squeezed, tightly be- tween the mountain range and the coast. Her cities look up to the hills and down to the sea, with. as Arthur Ruhl puts it. "the Andes hanging like beautiful drop curtain at the east ern end of every street" Chile con- tains 24 provinces, and the largest province Is big enough to hold all Pennsylvania, Vermont. Rhode Island and Massachusetts. The Chileans are the Yankees of South America, ag- gressive, keen, making fortunes from nitrate, erecting chain of wireless stations from the near-tropical north tip of the Chilean shoestring to the Antarctic south tip, and preparing for Panama trade by expending $12,000, 900 on port and dock improvements. Chile is elbowing her way in among the most forward-pushing nations of the twentieth century.

They are contributing considerable sums annually to help maintain these schools, and the larger part of what they contribute goes to Birmingham enterprises. With this substantial evidence of the interest of Birmingham people in these colleges. an interest evidenced by financial aid.
