DEVELOPMENT BOARD AND
STATE CHAMBER UNITE

Consolidation of the South Caro-.
lima state chamber of commerce with
the South Carolina DE, elopnient
board will become effective within q
very short time. The new name of the
organization will be the South Caro-.
lima Development Board ami Chamb.
er of Commerce.
Determination to merge the or.
ganizations followed upon a feeling
that more can be thus accomplished
than by permitting the bodies TO op.
crate separately. The development
board has been particularly success
full in its appeal to the farmers to
unite while the state chamber was
representative of the business inter-
ests in the larger centers.
The new association, with the re-
moval of all fear of duplication and
overlapping in activities, will he
stronger than the two acting sep
arately could hope to lie. Eea,,quar-
ters will remain in Columbia and the
management of the board will be in
the hands of Arthur v. Smell, until
now executive of the Charleston
Chamber of Commerce.
The board is now conducting an
intensive effort to enlarge it's mem
bership. 1t has about 2, 800 indiyidu-
ais enrolled and seeks no. les than
10000.

RED CROSS WORK

There is no field of activity involv-
ing the relief and release of humanity
from abnormal ills, disease and dis
asters in which Red Cross does not
play its part and, as often as other
wise, as leader.
Your aid, your cooperation has
made this possible, and it therefore is
Jour Red Cross.
Stand by it, not nearly so much be-
cause it is yours, but rather because
through it you are able to help, aid
and assist all your worthy fellows all
over the world.
Very few people appreciate the
ramifcations of the American Red
Cross work in peace time. For ex-
ample, did you know that
Every hour since rehabilitation
your Red Cross has been in constant
touch with the families of 100000
men formerly in the service of Uncle
Sam-soldiers, marines, sailors.
During any average month of
the current year your Red Cross aid
cd 423,8SS adults and 101,T55 chill
dren in Europe, and but for this
service these people would have been
without the simple necessities of life.
In 1919 Red Cross gave immedi-
ate and practical aid to 10000 vic
Tins of flood, fire, tornado or other
unavoidable disaster.
Last year $4,000 women and
girls, under Red Cross instruction,
completed courses in home care of
the sick.
The service to the nations fight
ing force embraced everything from
first aid to seeing man through to
held.
And these five items of Red Cross
service actually are but fraction of
what your Red Cross is doing for
world betterment. Home service,
child welfare work and public health
nursing--three fields for construc-
tive work which demand intensive
cultivation because of their admitted
Importance and relation to the prog
ress of humanity toward richer goal,
are enough in themselves to command
the moral and physical support of all.
Your Red Cross has sounded its
fourth Roll Call. See to it today that
your name is on the new enrolment
also the name of your wife. your
child, your friend. Red Cross belongs
as much to them as to you. If they
do rot realize it, tell them and show
them why. -.
Five months ago war-ridden, dis
eased and poverty-stricken Poland
with its emaciated people staggering
under burden of ills and woes with
out parallel in world history, increas
ed its Red Cross membership from
thirty thousand to more than one mil
lion. They knew their Red Cross.

Back your Red Cross as you should
and when Thanksgiving Day roll
around you will be forty million
strong,-a powerful support to you

tect Of the universe for the privileg
of living.

Churches Show Gain, Sunday Schools
 Lose During Year

New York, Jan. Americas $ churches have gained nearly three million members since the last church census in 1916. But there has been marked decrease in the number of Sunday schools and Sun day school pupils, according to the "year book of the churches . which will be issued tomorrow by the federal council of the churches of Christ in America.
 Total church membership has in- creased 2,779,667 the announcement says, with an increase of 3,519 church organizations. The total number of churches is now 233,884. There are 195,513 ministers, priests and rabbis, with 44,709,521 members of their various organizations. The decrease in Sunday school membership is es- timated at more than 3,500,000.
 The total protestant church mem bership is given at 25,980,456 and the Roman Catholic figures as IT, 54s,324.
 Protestant figures include only adult communicant members of a family, while the Roman Catholic statistice represent the entire fam fly. Estimating four persons to a family the Protestant constituency would be more than 50,000,000, the book says.

HOUSTON EXPECTED D SUCCEED GLASS
 IN TREASURY JOB
Minister of Agriculture is Wilson's Probable
 Selection

Washington, Jan. 2G.-unless plans are suddenly changed, President Wilson is expected to transfer Sec retary Houston from the department of agriculture to the treasury depart ment to succeed Carter Glass, who is about to take his seat as senator from Virginia.
 While all official information still was being withheld today, it was un- derstood that the nomination of MT. Houston had been prepared, and un- less some development arises at the last moment, it is expected to be pre- sented to the senate within a day or two. The move would be the first transfer of cabinet officer from one department to another during Presi- dent Wilson's administration. Shifts were frequent in the administration of President Roosevelt but all the changes in President Wilson's cabi- net have been resignations.
 The successor to Mr. Houston as secretary of agriculture had not been announced but it is believed he will be one of the men who have been identified with the work of that de- partment. In official circles MT. Houston is credited with having been willing to accept the treasury port folio when William G.. McAdoo re- signed. Before entering the cabi- net Mr. Houston was college pro- lessor at St. Louis.
 Up until today the name of As sistant Secretary Leffingwell was foremost among those being men tioned to succeed Secretary Glass.

 Exchange Prices

New York, Jan. 26.-Another crash of international rates caused British French and other forms of foreign exchange to drop to new low levels here today.

Suicides Increase
 Since the Signing of the Armistice

New York, Jan. 26.-Since the signing of the armistice, there has been constantly increasing number of suicides everywhere, according to a report issued today by the Save-a- Life league. In Germany, Russia, Syria and other foreign countries where the number has been very large, the cause is attributed to de- spair because of miserable living conditions brought about by the var.
 The report tabulates 5,121 cases of suicide in the United States during 1919. Of these professional lawyers led the list with 43, fwhom 12 were judges; 36 victims were physicians, 2S teachers and II clergymen. The list included twenty presidents of large business concerns, and 50 club members, millionaires and wealthy society women. Unhappy martial relations were responsible for $50 tragedies.
 Men outnumbered women, 2,987 to 1,657, but of the child suicides 25o were girls and 225 boys. Newspaper editors appeared to be immune.

A patrol of IS armed automobiles and a half dozen huge moto rtrucks loaded with armed troops arrived early in the evening and immediately took up their positions in front of the gov ernment building and shut off all traffic from the thoroughfare.

DANIELS ANNOUNCES 156 NAVAL AWARDS
 10 ENLISTED MEN
l2 D. $. M. Men are Included in Secretary's New
 List

Washington, Jan. 26.-Secretary Daniels made public today letter to Chairman Hale of the senate committee Investigating naval war decoration awards transmitting q list of awards made to enlisted men of the service by the secretary, without reference to the Knight medal award board. It consists of 12 awards of distinguished service medals, the only instances, Mir. Dan iels explained, of such awards to enlisted men and IA navy cross awards. Chairman Hale was inform ed, also that a list of awards to of ficers made by direction of the secre- tary without the action of the board was being compiled and would he transmitted when completed. Secre- tary Daniels, in his letter, said that when the report of the board of awards reached him, he noticed "that out of half million men in the naval service during the WAT only about 1888 enlisted men had been recommended for the navy cross and none had been recommended for the distinguished service medal.
 "I know" MT. Daniels letter con tinues, that there were reports ot brave and heroic action by many en- listed men, as well as by many of- ficers. I directed q study of these reports be made and as result di- rected that distinguished service me- dals and navy crosses be awarded.
 MT. Daniels recalled his order calling upon the entire service per sonnel to report instances of cour- age or unusual service within their knowledge and added:
 Many men whose deeds are yet un- reported will be rewarded, No final action would be just without the information and recommendations requested from all officers and men in the service"
 Citations accompanying the list of awards transmitted show that the medals have been awarded not only to men on ships in the war zone, but also to several members of the na- val hospitals who served with the marine brigade in France.

 Brough's Message.
 Gov. c. H. Brough this afternoon m his message urged that an ade- quate maintenance fund be provid- ed for each improvement district or ganized extending over period of at least 20 years for the upkeep of the roads after they have been constructed.
 Arkansas road building program, the governor said, is an ambitious and far-reaching one, ranking mex, to that of Texas. Up to the pres- ent, he said, there are 3,9S1 miles of roadway let to contract involving bond issues of 51,5OO,OOO and of which 295 miles have been complet- ed; $50 miles are held up for cura- tive legislation and court decisions; and 3,651 miles are now under con- struction. There are approximate ly 4,200 miles planned as necessary to connect up county seats. If that mileage is authorized at the special session, he said, Arkansas will have approximately $1O8,OOO,000 invested in good roads.
 The federal government, he said, during the five year period beginning January 1916, and ending January 1921, has allotted $4,64O.OOO for road building in this state. The total of state and federal aid allotted is $5,667,933 of which $984,237 has been paid.

He said they were "purely American arising out of American conditions, |" and as Soviet agent here he had not helped or financed them or their fol lowers. He has instructions from his government, he said. to stay clear of interference with American in ternal affairs. All of his publicity efforts, very extensive as outlined in his testimony, were devoted to pX- planning the Soviet system to the end that Americans would allow it's rec. ognition of the established govern ment in Russia and were not to ex- tend 1t to the United States. Then the committee demanded copies of the actual governmental instructions to that effect. Former Senator Hard wick of Georgia, attorney for the So viet bureau. argued that to give them might disclose the "code" in which the Soviet foreign office correspond ed with Martens, which should be en- titled to immunity, but promised notwithstanding. to furnish them in the original or in sworn translation. Ar adjournment was taken until Mon day partly to let Martens examine his records for that purpose.
 Martens also told the committee that the Soviet government had $450,- 000,000 or $500,000,000 in gold to spend in foreign countries and that there was little or none in the pri vate banks or held by individuals, or that about 1000 American concerns were ready to sell it goods.
 Much of Martens testimony took the form of written statement, tho he was interrupted constantly in its reading by the sharply put questions of his senatorial auditors. Besides entering his denial of charges that he had participated in financing rev olutonary activities in the United States, the witness said he was spend $2, 800 on the maintainance of an or ganization of some 35 employees.
