WILL COME IN WEEK OF
APRIL 25- MAY 2.
INTERCHURCH WORLD IN
GREAT FORWARD MOVE

Five million workers, million more
people than the United States had un
der arms at the end of the war, will
be engaged during the week, April rs
To May 2, in putting across the great
united financial campaign in which
thirty united denominations are join
ing in the Interchurch World Move
ment to raise $3S6,777,572.
In Michigan, there will be raised ST.
$685. 0S, of this.
This budget represents the first at
tempt of the churches to get together
in a really great effort to solve the
problems which have been pressing
upon them for past generations, and it
Is only beginning.
The budget is based upon a world
wide survey which has been 6onducted
by the Interchurch World Movement
during the past year. The budget as
presented is a conservative statement
of what is now imperatively needed to
maintain and develop the work of the
church.
The total amount to be paid this
year is approximately one-half of the
total campaign budget, or about $175,-
100000
The thirty denominations which are
cooperating in the campaign repre-
sent approximately 60% of the Protest
ant Church membership of the United
States.
The vast national army of five mil
hon will be, in an overwhelming pro-
portion, voluntary army. At the
head comes the National Campaign
Cabinet, made up of representatives of
each denomination. Then come the
regional united campaign directors,
and then the state united campaign di-
rectors, the county united campaign d.
rectors, and so on to the local church,
where teams will canvass the individ-
nal.
All in all, this will be the greatest
aggregation Of loyal, voluntary work
ers since the Liberty loans, and the
Interchurch World financial campaign
Is often called 1.-THE Liberty Loan of
the Churches"

sHALE ACCEPTABLE As FUEL
Enthusiastically Used Now In EsthonIs,
II May BE Taken Up by Other
Countries.

Railroads In Esthonia seem In fair
way to discard coal In favor of btu
minOus shale, a substance common
enough In geological formations. to
make the EsthOnian experiment widely
interesting. Lacking coal, the Estho-
MAN provisional government has been
investigating the possibilities of shale,
and, as the report comes by way Of
HelsingfOrs, shale Is now being used
for good many purposes. The gas
factory at Reval, for example, is using
shale exclusively for making gas. But.
so far, shale has not been adopted
as fuel, and wood is being burned
In the fire-boxes. The factory prob
ably waits to see how completely shale
can he used to run railway trains,
and the railway factory in Reval is
now experimenting with fire-boxes
suitable TO using shale in Il locomotive.
That it can be successfully used, how
ever, seems to have been proved Cost
is strong argument for the use of
shale, and 3 marks for pood, or
some 30 or 40 pounds, of shale. as
against 80 marks for the same meas
ure of coal makes it very much cheap
err. 1t would be odd but not impos-
sible. If later events should show that
in using shale for fuel the little-known
country of EsthOnia is leadlngN the
world.

LIBERAL PROGRAM IS
CREED OF CHURCHES

The creed of the churches adopted
by the Federal Council of Churches Of
Christ in America spikes the report
that the church is losing its sympathy
for the worker. Among its demands
are:
Abolition of child labor; protection
Of workers from dangerous machinery;
protection of workers from enforced
unemployment; suitable provision for
workers in old age; for the right Of
employees and employers alike to or
ganize, and an adequate means of la
Dor Cancellation; at least one days
rest in seven; a gradual and reason
able reduction in the hours of labor
to the lowest practical point, and for
that degree of leisure which is the
difference of the highest human right.

Why China Wants Newspapers.

During the last few years the de.
mand for waste foreign magazines
pamphlets and newspapers has been
very great in China among hawkers,
who buy these periodicals and pay
nearly one-thlrd of what they cost
originally. Their use is probably to
make soles for sandals for the poorer
classes of Chinese to wear In place of
shoes.
II the waste magazines contain
some war pictures they will be put
to better use than the making of
soles. Chinese who are too poor to
get an education and who can't read
or write find the best way Of getting
some knowledge of world affairs
through the medium of the pictures in
foreign magazines.

Why Frost Injuries Food.

An egg expands when it is frozen
and breaks its shell. Apples contract
so much that full barrel will shrink
until the top layer is foot below the
chine. When the frost is drawn out
the apples assume their normal size
and fill the barrel again. Certain vari-
cites are not appreciably injured by
being frozen if the frost is drawn out
gradually. Apples will carry safely in
a refrigerating car while the mercury
is registering fully 20 degrees below
zero. Potatoes, being so largely COM
posed of water, are easily frozen. Once
touched by frost they are ruined.

Why Number Thirteen Is Feared.

The thirteen at table superstition
which has spread to thirteen of any.
thing, is wcll-known. The origin OF
the prejudice against this number Is
usually supposed to be the fact that
thirteen persons sat down at the Last
supper, after which occurred the most
tragic event Of the Christian era.
Hesiod says 1t is unlucky to sow corn
on the thirteenth of the first month,
and an old Morse legend says that the
twelve great divinities were dining at
valhalla when Loki, the god Of dis
cord. appeared, and quarrel with
1salder occurred In which Balder, the
god of peace, was killed.
