PLANES IN MISSION WORK
Gospel Workers Believe They Can
Be of Considerable Value in
Spreading the Word.

A flying boat or ar airplane may
soon form a part Of the equipment Of
modern missions in Africa, according
to a letter received by a motor corpo-
ration from the Congo Mission of the
Disciples Of Christ, the headquarters
Of which are at COQuilhartville, Bel
gian Congo, says the New York Eve
ming Sun.
"We are interested in the matter Of
the purchase Of flying boats to replace
wholly or in part the fleet Of launches
which we have been planning for serv-
ice in communication between our va
rious stations" the letter stated. 1--WE
have a large river steamer for trans
portation between stations which sea
planes might supply. Our area is
about 500 miles east and west and 200
miles north and south in extent.
"The whole area is covered well by
an extensive system Of waterways. In
inland points landings might be made
in small machines in the straight,
smooth, central streets of the native
towns, which In this section are usual
ly clear Of grass and other Obstruc-
tons and are not less than 100 feet
wide"

COLD WINTER
 IN SIBERIA

Vladivostok, April 5. (CorreSpon- dence of the Associated Press )- Americans who spent the winter in Omsk, the headquarters of the kol- chak anti-Bolshevik government, say the winter was the coIdest in the his tory of Western Siberia and caused great suffering among hundreds of thousands of refugees from European Russia who have found temporary shelter in Moscow and other Siberian centers They say that 500 persons were frozen to death in Tomsk and that thousands suffered froen feet and hands. The temperature often reached 57 to 60 degrees below zero. Fortunately, little wind blew across the steppes but when the wind did blow the weather was intolerable.
 The stoutest fur coat could not stop it from penetrating to the marrow. AS if by magic, the streets became deserted. Americans often had their cheeks and noses frozen and their hands, despite woolen gloves and init tens, were always stiff and aching. Reckless exposure of the ears was always dangerous. sometimes result ing in the lobes freezing and falling off at the slightest touch.
 Despite the terrible cold, the visi- tor there feels buoyant and strong and usually feels like doing an extra ordinary amount of wark. The exceed ing dryness of the atmosphere, the Siberian said, is conductive to long life and a sure cure for tuberculosis. Despite the rigors of the. climate the people often live to be eighty or nine ty years old. Neverthless the average American who has to spend the winter there in the Omsk district as did .some of the assistants of John F. Stevens, the American engineer in charge of the great Siberian railway suffered severely.
