master General Bur1eson and First
Assistant Postmaster General Rooms
for the dismissal Of IL members Of
the Chicago Postoffice Clerks union.
These men were dismissed because
they published advertisements in the
"CrippIed Mail Service Harms Pub
lie and Business Interests"
These advertisements set forth
that the denial Of living wage to
postoffice workers was the cause OF
the inadequate force, and that be-
cause the force was inadequate the
Chicago postof1ice authorities vio-
lated most of the law regulating the
hours and conditions of service. The
cost Of living was shown to have gone
up 1914 per cent while postoffice wages
had increased only 81 - per cent.
Citizens were asked to petition con-
greas to provide an adequate postof-
fee force, fairly compensated for its
work, az a measure Of protection Of
the interests of the citizens using
the mails.
Rooms, who was the official directly
involved in Diminishing the II men
who arranged the publication of
these advertisements, charged that
the advertisements were malicious,
false and Of a reprchensible type
and that as the union committee had
solicited funds with Which to pay for
the publication they were guilty of
soliciting money for fraudulent pur-
poses.
The National Federation of Post
Office Clerks now offers to let Rooms
pick jury of three persons-outside
Of the Burlcson official family and its
inspectors-to decide whether any
statement in these advertisements
was false. II any is found false, the
union will pay $1,000 to the Red
Cross.
Rooms has not answered.

SHANGHAI TRADE IS AFFECTED BY
 RISE IN SILVER

Sanghnai. Jan. 23.-whiIe Ameri- cans have been buying British pound sterling in New York for $3.7o or less, Americans here have been paying $100 in American gold for 76 Mexi- can dollars, which are in current use here.
 This unprecedented advance in the rate of exchange in Shanghai has been due to the acute rise in the price of silver. Probably no country in the world has been more sharply affected by this enhanced value of silver than has China.
 In consequence of the confused state of exchange, the foreign trade through this city. China's principa. comm ercial center, became more or less disorgantZed. Exporters ceased to look for new business and cC7fined their activities wholly to filling old contracts from the terms of which they would have been glad to escape
 Shanghai bankers held frequent conferences day and night in an ef- fort to determine what might be done to stabilize the exchange rates. For one day all but one of the leading banks in the city declined to issue drafts in connection with export shipments to America. These ex- porters who buy their goods in China for silver and sell them abroad for

 During the Calendar year 1919, 62 Shipping Board steamers loaded from United States ports to the West coast, carrying 179.O00 tons southbound and 196, 900 tons northbound. Such addi- tionaI cargo steamers as this business requires will be allocated as needed"
 Sale of ships which have been ad- vertised will not affect the South American service, MT. Payne said. He estimated that the United States fleet when present rearrangements are completed would total 1888 ships of g, ,298, ,6S9 deadweight tons.

gold suffered most severely. They were obliged to restrict operations or raise prices wherever the goods were sold.
 On the other hand importers who buy their goods in America and are paid for them in Mexican dollars have prospered.
 One of the difficulties arising from the exchange situation is that much of the business here is done under terms arranged several years aga when an American dollar was worth two Mexican dollars or more. Conse- quently foreign workers here have suffered.
 The bankers concluded that one so- lution of the problem would be to in- crease the price of China's products throughout the world.

forced to ask Krishna to leave the

he was paid the highest honor and
respect wherever he went in India.
Doctor Rao made n number OF
friends in Tulsa, and he was often
taken In n car to some home In the
city. where he played his flute and
sang and talked to people who gath
cred there. He impressed those who
met him as being n man OF great

Ifindus believe In evolution.
Doctor Rao says that tho religious
work done In India Is similar to the
Salvation Army WORK In America.
The workers go out with harps,
flutes. timbals and vinas and sing
and play for hours, The music can
be heard for miles. The workers

Hlndu's relation to God is as pearls
around string. Man In wrapped
around God. who In the thread of
love that holds tho universe, and
should the string be broken man
will go to pieces. When a person
dies In India II is believed that he
will be judged according TO the
deeds done In his life. IL his deeds
are good no will rise to a higher
plane and II bad TO lower. They
believe In the reincarnation OF the
soul.
Doctor Rao accepts Jesus as a
great prophet in whom God dwelled,
He believes that Jesus died for hu-
manity to save the world and that
when he comes again ho will have
the people who have followed his
teachings.
Doctor Rao attracted much atten-
tion In Tulsa by his manner OF dress.
True Co his native custom, he wore
few clothes. lIe usually wore white
trousers. n thin white shirt and a
cap, on the streets; In his cabin
home lie wore soft silken robe, no
shoes and n Silk turban. The turban
WAS 10 yards In length. lie says that
the people OF America wear too
many clothes. Whenever he sat down
he usually nat on the floor with his
feet crossed and his hands folded In
n prayerful attitude. He always wor-
shipped God when he was not talk
ing. He tasted frequently and while
Ia Tulsa tasted for n whole week.
Doctor Rao was deeply impressed
with the customs OF the Americans,
He said they were thrifty. clean
race. but loved money too much. He
says that he could not get n glass OF
water without paying for II, and that
the people OF America did not sing
praises 10 their God. He was shocked
to see such old faces on the young
girls of tho country. Doctor Rao said
that America had babies and young

by ANNABEL LhTIMER.

For several weeks In Tulsa the
wlerd notes OF flute have been
heard on moonlight nights coming
at intervals from the adjacent hills
Many persons have heard this
music, which had the wisrdness and
fascination OF oriental music. Those
who have heard II have said that
they had strong impulse to fol-
low up the sound and learn who the
MUSICIAN was. Very few people have
met the musician. who slipped quiet
ly into Tulsa six weeks ago and took
up his abode In n small house I'm tho
outskirts OF town---"away from the
noise and strife OF civilization"
q. V. Krishna Rao OF Bombay.
India, came TO America In April
TO learn OF American customs and
get some Inspiration TO take back TO
his people. He landed In New York
city. but came on to Tulsa after stay
ing there two weeks. Doctor Hao
snys that he was led OF God to come
10 Tulsa. with him he brought many
musical Instruments, among them
fhc flute, which he saws is God n
Instrument and when played by "A
man OF God will lead people to the
Lord.
Doctor Rao was born in n small
village near Bombay, where he lived
until he had finished his common
school education. At an early age
he went to Bombay to finish his
education, and there prepared him
self TO become n lawyer. His work
mt college broke his health and he
was forced to leave school before he
obtained his degree. lie had con-
tracted tuberculosis. lie struggled
along for months, consulting many
physicians. but his condition grew
worse. until all hope for his recov-
cry was given up. One day Doctor
Rao heard of physician IN Leipsic,
Z Germany, who had healed thousands
of persons by n new method Of wa
ter treatment. Doctor Rao was taken
there and after two years was healed
completely.
K In the meantime Doctor Rao had
learned of Christ and God and he
had become devout Christian.
After no returned TO India he fin
ished his education. then decided to
give his life to healing the sick OF
India. lie established hospitals In
, Bombay and literally thousands of
people came there to be treated. He
did not charge one cent for the
Treatments. Hundreds OF people were
healed and saved and Doctor Rao
soon came to be considered n great
tprophet--a great man OF God. He
10 loved by the people of India. and
he can go TO any part Of the country
xand into any home absolutely free
