ENGLISH COAL MINES IDLE
Employees Guarding Mines only Men
Not on Strike.

MOI on ohiNSs
London.--The British coal industry
is at a standstill. A million miners
went on strike Saturday, cutting off
the nations fuel supply and threaten
ing the country with industrial
paralysis. After months of negotia-
tions between the miners and the
government. in which neither side was
willing to concede the crucial points,
the pits are closed and Great Britain
seemingly Is facing days OF industrial
chaos. unequalled even during the
world war.
Except for the pump men and other
employees who are to keep the mines
free from water and otherwise in good
condition for resumption Of work
when the strike is ended, all the mines
are idle.
A feeling OF pessimism prevails not
withstanding the fact that Premier
Lloyd George has stated that every
thing will be done to keep the great
industries OF the country going.

Through speaking at the meetings
of the Parent-Teacher's Association
the study of hygiene is emphasized In

the Parent Teachers Association has
accomplished wonders in interesting

Because of the tremendous infant

mothers and instruct them in the care
of babies. 1t is fact widely recog-
nized by medical authorities that
women nurses are much more effici

What public health nurses do to
better the public health when they
visit community was outlined in a
statement given out recently by ]. P.
Kranz, Executive Secretary of the
Tennessee Anti-Tuberculosis Asso-
citation. The Association according
to Mr.. Kranz has one of the best
staffs of public health workers in the
country and its nurses, through their
years Of public health work, expect
to accomplish much during the COM
ing year to lower Tennessee's tubeIs
culosis death rate, which is one of the
highest in this country, Kentucky's
being the only state exceeding it.
'Few people realize that public
health nurse is really saleswoman
who is selling better health to the
community" said Mr.. Kranz, COM
menting on their work. "Of course,
one of the most important phases of
their work is to aliviate suffering and
to cure the sick, but another equally
important thing which they must do
is to help the well keep well.
"The first thing our nurses do when
they enter county is to obtain map
and familiarize themselves with their
district. Then they obtain the CO.
operation of the Local Health De-
partment or Board. After talking to
the heads of the local government
and before women's clubs and schools
they secure the vital statistics and
obtain the names of the families who
have suffered a loss from tuber-
culosis.
"The reason that the health nurses
concentrate their efforts upon tuber-
culosis is that the health department
figures show that The Great White
Plague kills more Tennesseans than

Mel Trotter Will Begin
College Meetings Saturday

The annual series of evangelistic
meetings held by the College will
probably begin Saturday night of this
week, January 81. The meetings
will continue throughout the next
week and longer; further announce
ment will be made later as to the
date of closing. Meetings will be
held in the Chapel each night begin
ming at 80, and each school day, IN
the morning at the regular time for
the chapel assembly, $40. The pub
lie is cordially invited to all these
services.
A new name is to be added this
year to the honor roll of those who
have conducted the February Meet
ings on the Hill. Such men as DR..
Bachman, DR.. Elmore, and others
have endeared themselves to succeed
ing generations of students and have
made the February Meetings an in
dispensable part of college life at
Maryville. This year Mel Trotter is
coming to lead the services. Mr..
Trotter has national reputation as
mission worker and evangelist. His
simple, forceful preaching of the
gospel has been singularly blessed
throughout the country. His wide
and sympathetic understanding of
young people adapts him in a pecu-
liar way to the work of college evan
gelist. The College and town are
certainly fortunate in this oppor-
tunity to hear and know Mel Trotter.
And Homer Hammontree is coming
to lead the singing. Maryville knows
Mr.. Hammontree and is proud of him,
for he was and is one of us. His
ability as chorus leader and soloist
is of the highest order. With Mr..
Trotter and Mr.. Hammontree work
ing together the leadership of the
meetings would leave nothing to be
desired, but as a further asset, they
are bringing five other talented and
consecrated men with them. Four of
these men compose one of the best
quartets in the country; the fifth is
an accomplished pianist who will act
as accompanist for the chorus singing
and the special music. Mr.. Ham
montree has prepared special song
book for this series of meetings.
From beginning to end these meet
ings will be full of interest and in
spiration.

DR.. Hatfield Tells OF

The meeting at the Presbyterian
Church Sunday night addressed by
DR.. ]. H. Hatfield, of Akron, Ohio,

fight against tuberculosis, was large

campaign of education which was
actively carried on last week under

Hatfield and Miss Mooney, from the

Of interest. Maryville has her eyes
opened to the insidious attacks which

with very little attempt to check
it's inroads.
Addresses by DR.. Hatfield in the
college chapel, public schools of the
city, have awakened the interest of
the children and the youths. His
talks before the business men of the
city have thoroughly convinced them
If the bad business policy of letting
euch an unenviable record as Blount
county holds, to continue. And the
congregation which greeted the
speaker at this union service was
thoroughly aroused, and heartily in
accord with the work which he is
seeking to inaugurate.
Rev. w. E. Graham, pastor of the
Presbyterian Church, conducted the
opening services, Rev. ]. M. Emert,
of the M. E. Church reading a por-

DR.. J. H. Hatfield, field repre-

more, every one must contribute his

interested in the fight against this
disease which is sapping the life out
of hundreds, maybe thousands, in this
