long between Aleppo and upper Me sopotamia. As he could get no male labor he finally employed about 500 women. who did excellent work with hundreds more on the waitjn list
 That no typhus or cholera epidem- ic swept over Palestine in the year following the armistice is largely due to the effective work done by the Red Cross physicians and re lief workers. When an outbreak Of cholera was reported at Tiberius, on the seacoast of Galilee, two Red Cross doctors, two American nurses and two native nurses were sent at once and established hospital of 36 beds there. An expert labora- tory worker was added to the sta f and within three weeks 210 persons were treated in the hospital. San itary and preventative measures were taken and the epidemic was summarily checked.
 A tvnhus dsinfection plant was opened by the Red Cross at Jeru- salem, where nearly 5000 refugee were passed through the cleansing process, examined, given new cloth ing and bedding and segregated in to classes to prevent double infcc- tion. Thus a serious typhus epidem- ic was forestalled
 When it was found that 75 per. cent of the patients in the dispen- saries were suffering from malaria, vigorous campaign was started against it. Pumps and piping were ordered from America and were turned over to the local authorities All of the cisterns of Jerusalem, totallng about 5000, were closed screened or treated, pamphlets on malaria prevention were distribut ed and quinine was given out gener- ously, with the result that the sit uation was vastly improved
 A model farm of 1 LOGO acres was started near Jerusalem, to which the Red Cross loaned it's tractors. oxen and mules and gave large ouanti- ties of agricultural implements and seed. At Jaffa workshop wae opened. in which native Syrian wom- en made 5000 sets of mattresses. pillows and heavy cotton quilts.
 Besides new ideas on sanitation. one other phase of the Red Gross work in the Near East seems des tined to be permanent. Two hun dred hand looms. similar to those Used in Biblical times. were install. ed in Aleppo. Some were set up ir Red Cross workshops and other" loaned to women who had famiIiee of small children. to enable them to work at home From all indication" this introduction of the old art of hand weaving has caught the pop ular fancy and will endure.

Also there is a general idea that instead of leaving the organizing side, and especially the hnancial end of it, in the honds of scratch collection. we should call in the best brains of the nation. the pest business men, to assist in devis- ing a sound plan of campaign, one on which we can build, not merely for the 1920 games but for the future.
 It IS generally agreed that the very first thing needful to the or &anl7atlon of an efficient Olympic team for Antwerp is money, and plenty Of 1t. As to the directions in "hich the money should be applied, ana even how it should be raised, there are divergent opinions, but money must be found. l am very much of Mr. Cochran's opinion that money could be found by exploiting Vhe public taste for sport itself"
 The writer suggests publicity campaign which would have the ef- feet ot interesting the great business men o1 the country in the prepara- L'ohs; lie says that everyone should oo all that IS consonant with their prlnclples as sportsmen. In conclus- lon he says, T believe in advertise ment and if the games can do any thlng else they can give us that, as they nave America, and it is just as well to have good one"
 At recent meeting of the British Olympic Council, after consolation With the various governing bodies of sport Tn the United Kingdom, it was decided to ask the Belgian Olympic committee for the following modif- cation i'll their draft problem:
 10 limit the stadium events to a period of three weeks from August 70 to September 10.
 A considerable reduction in the number of entries allowed.
 The addition of a ,O0O metre stee- plechase, a 10-mile cross country run and twenty mile road walk to the contests and the elimination of bombthrowing.
 To add 5O0-metre swim and a fancy diving contest to the swim ming events.
 To add miniature rifle shooting. re- volver shooting and running deer shooting in that branch of sport
 To add ladies' doubles to the lawn tennis events.
 in cycling to fix the distance for the road race at 200 kilometres and the addition of 1000 metres, 2.ooo metres tandems and 1000 metres pur- suit race (teams) and 100 kilometres motor pacing.

In all quarters it is admitted that
this is the principal issue to come be-

specific question is whether the body

Miss Margaret Haley. of Chicago,

families went wading in the shallow
water on the south side of the island
one mile north of the bridge which
spans the Kaw. The swift current car
