GREAT STEP FORWARD
TOWARD CHRISTIAN UNITY
tBy Associated Press.)

Geneva, Ovt. 4--Great progress to-
ward Christian unity among the de-
nominations of the world as means
to a better world is said to have
teen made by the World Conference
on Faith and Order held here in Au-
gust. Robert H. Gardiner, Of Gardi-
rer, Maine, Secretary of the American
Episcopal church, spoke of tt as the
most important gathering of Chris
tians held since the schism between
the Eastern and Western churches Il
thousand years ago.
"Men from forty countries, said
Mr.. Gardiner, "have represented here
all the great churches throughout the
world that confess Jesus Christ as the
Son of God-made man, except tie
Church OF Rome.
There has been frank discussion
of the differences between them, but
in the earnest desire to understand
and appreciate each other and to
abandon the spirit of controversy. the
minds of all have been given to the
effort to reach that visible unity OF
Christions which is the only evidence
potent to convince and to convert the
world to Christ.
"The meeting has grown toward a
a closer brotherhood and our hope is
sure that a great step forward has
been taken toward Christian uniy.
The delegates to the conference in
cluded leaders of prominence from
many londs Some of them spoke
tongues strange to nearly all of the
delegates and at times there was DIFF
feulty in finding interpreters.

NO ROOM FOR TIN CAN
TOURIST AT PALM BEACH
The Palm Beach Post says:

He RAIN D6dCH IUSl says,
II There is a land that is fairer
than day it must be the land where
the "tin can tourist finds everything
just as he would have it. There need
no longer be doubt as to just what
the ''tin can tourist wants; he has
sufficiently organized himself as to
have an Official organ" like NUM-
cipality or county or IA political par
ty, and has a spokesman who makes
known his wants. For him there is no
housing problem; he is beyond that
Providing his own conveyance, every.
thing else is furnished him, and he
leaves all problems to the community
he honors with his transient pres
ence.
The fame of West Palm Beach has
extended to Plymouth, Ind, where
Geo. A. Whipple, whoever else he
may be, publishes the Tin Can Tour
ist,' "a magazine for auto camping
tourists Official organ of the tin
can tourists of the world published
weekly and Mr.. Whipple has sent
questionable to the West Palm
Beach Chamber of Commerce, seeking
il formation. He wants to know what
inducements this city makes for 'tin
can tourists.
The disclosure which the question
aire makes that there exists a num-
ber of auto camping tourists who
solicit and expect such provisions for
their entertainment as the questions
imply, probably settles the question
whether West Palm Beach shall have
free auto comping ground through
cooperation of the city, and settles
i. with negative. There has been a
sentiment to provide free auto camp
irg grounds. but the impossibility OF
satisfying the tastes Of the "tin can
tourists" is too clearly made mani
fest in the questionnare
These are the things the "Tin Can
Tourist magazine wants to know:
"Is there car service to the free
auto camp ground?'
City water? Electric lights? Toi-
let's? Community laundry? Commun-
ity kitchen?
Gas? Free or pay? Is wood fur
nished? Shower baths? Free or pay

CRIME GREATLY ON
INCREASE IN AUSTRIA

Vienna, Oct. 4.-Ten thousand
criminal cases were recorded, in Wien
ma during the year 1918 against 1,s74
in 1910. The prisons are so crowded
tbot it has become scandal and the
dockets so extended as to lead The
public prosecutor to recommend that
all cases in which conviction would
iuvoive not more than five years i'm
prisonment be quashed. 1t is said
that many of the cases cannot be

The judicial machinery of the stote

PARIS INFESTED BY
100000 RATS

Paris, oct. 4.-War to a finish has
been declared against the rat by the
Hygiene Commission of Paris. The
commission was aghast to learn from
q report read to it by Professor Bord-
as that there were 100000 rats in
the city.
The determination of the rats is to
be accomplished by all the weapons
known in rat warfare, and the com
paign will be both offensive and de-
fensive. The offensive weapons are
the following:
Use of bacterial products or deadly
microbes likely to cause epidemics
among the rats, poisons, asphyxiating
gases In the sewers for several hours
at time, repeated at intervals. and
traps.
In this connection Professor Bord-
as warns rat trappers not to smoke
before setting their traps as the rat
holds tobacco in abhorrence. A pre-
MUM of two sous is to be paid TO"
each rat killed by hunters.
The defensive campaign will be
conducted by rat proofing houses and
by setting the garbage cans on the
sidewalks only few minutes pre-
vious to the arrival of the garbage
automobiles, so that rates cannot feed
on their contents over night.
Many pessimistic voices were heard
in the hygiene commission as to the
chances of success in Kidding Paris o.

Proessor Bordas had explained that
