JAPAN CELEBRATES
RAILWAY ANNIVERSARY

TOKYO, Dec. S.--The fiftieth ami
versary OF the Inauguration of railway
service in Japan was celebrated re-
Gently with appropriate ceremonies in
a large pavilion in front of the Tokyo
central station. The crown prince read
a message OF congratulation on behalf
Of the emperor. About 5000 persons
participated.
The first rail of the present system
was laid in 1871. the line from Tokyo
to Yokohama, eighteen miles. having
been opened for traffic June u, 1872
As souvenir for those attending there
was distributed to each a thin cross
section of rail bound in brass for use
- a paperweight, cut from the first
rails laid
More than 100 tons OF such rails were
cut into 10000 slices for this purpose
The arst locomotive used in Japar
with types Of other early equipment
was placed on a nearbytrack as an
exhibit. The imperial coaches of the
early days were the center Of much
interest
Indicating the growth of railway

DISEASE DECREASES
NATIVE POPULATION
Inhabitants of Marquesas Island Suf-
fer Tremendous Losses From
Ravages and Customs.

HONOLULU, T. H., Dec. J.--Tre-
mendous decreases in the native pop
ulation of the 1Iarquesas Islands, two
thousand miles south by east of the
Hawaiian archipelago, have resulted
from the ravages of disease and the
adoption of modern customs recently
according to DIR. G. S. Handy, ethnol-
ogist Of the Bishop museum, here, who
spent nine months on the islands gath
ering data on the origin of the Polyne-
sian race habits and customs of the
natives and their esthnology and
Ianders probably numbered between
anthropology.
Fifty years ago the Aarquesas Is
$4,000 and 100, 900" DR.. Handy said.
To-day there are only about 1900 ma
tives with a scattering of Europeans.
Smallpox decimated the population in
the northern portion of the group, and
pokoko, a particularly swift and viru-
lent form of tuberculosis, played havoc
in the south"
He expressed the belief however,
that the Marquesans would never dis
appear, but that the f1ttest and
a small remainder, will be
able to resist disease. Sometimes whole
families had been taken off with po-
lzoko within a brief period, he said.

MEXICAN PRESIDENT
FRIEND OF. THEATRE

Los ANGELES, Calf, Dec. -
Gen. Aware obregon, president of
Mexico. is revealed as a friend of the
theatre in general and Of stranded
theatrical people in particular in tales
told here by troupe of Los Angeles
dancers.
The dancers, all Los Angeles girls
who We're chaperoned by a Los An
geles woman, went to Mexico City to
entertain in connection with the Mex
lean Centennial celebration. Their
contract, they said, called for round
trip tickets.
But, they said, when their engage
ment was concluded, they were re-
fused transportation home They ap-
pealed in turn to representatives of
the American state department, and
to the secretaries of the Mexican
treasury and interior, they declared,
but met only failure.
Then one of the girls managed to
obtain an interview with President
Obregon. who paid the dancers hotel
bill and provided them with tickets
back to Los Angeles.
In addition to this. the girls re-
lated, President Obregon provided
transportation back to New York for
forty two American chorus girls
when the show they were with be-
came stranded.

MANY HORSES AND
MULES in COUNTRY
Animals Are Better Than Motor For
Local Delivery Work.

CHICAGO, Dec. Data compiled
by the Horse Association of America
indicates that there are more than
19, 100000 horses and mules in the
United states, 100000 of which are
on farms and more than 100000 in
cities, according to the annual report
Of Wayne Dinsmore, secretary Of the
association, made here before the an
nual meeting Of the association re-
Gently.
In speaking Of the value Of horses
and mules as compared with automo-
bile trucks, Mr. Dinsmore said:
".As a result of the studies, other
surveys made, and definite state
ments with cost figures furnished to
us by firms who own and use 1927
head of horses, we are now in a po-
sition to say positively that on hauls
within a horses working radius, l. e.,
the distance a team can travel in a
day, horses furnish more economical
service than motorized equipment.
"On local delivery work, from
store to store or house to house. the
evidence is Overwhelmingly for horse
drawn equipment. Ice companies, coal
companies. groceries, bakeries. milk
companies, and all others whose bus
mess involves frequent stops and de-
livery work, agree emphatically with
the great packing companies whose
verdict Is, on all hauls under 20
miles per day the horse is the most
economical"
In speaking of horses in the cities,
Mr.. Dinsmore said:
"Our Investigations in cities dur
ing the past year show that compete
ton will force all cities to develop
abundant terminals and team tracks,
and this factor will inevitably lead
to increased horse use. Boston, with
many wharves and team tracks, has
very few hauls that are not under two
miles for the round trip, and Boston
moves her enormous shipments of
wool, leather fish, vegetables, fruits,
etc, at a very low cost Seventy five
per cent of her merchandise is horser
drawn, mad she enjoys the distinction
of having the best lot of horses, on
the average, of any city in America"
In showing how the development of
the horse helps every section of the
country, the report said:
THE Georgia farmer who buys a
team of mules pays over money which
finds its way into tlae pocket of a Ne
braska farmer. who, in turn, buys
clothes made from cotton raised by
the Georgia farmer. Both profit Ne
braska cannot produce cotton, and it
is more profitable for Georgia to raise
cotton than to rear mules.
Faulty road building in Pennsyl-
vania has reduced the prices of
horses in Colorado for hard sur
faced roadways, without side roads
for farm teams, have forced farmers
adjacent to such highways to keep
their teams off the public roads be-
caues Of danger of injury"

LAYMEN TO SUPPORT
CHRISTMAS PLANS
viii Help to Carry Out White Christ
mas Plan For Benefit of Or
phans in Church Home.

TROY, Ala, Dec THAT laymen
win rally to the support of the S. S.
organizations Of the Alabama Confer
.ence in arranging for the successfully
carrying out a White Christmas pro-
gram for the benefit of the scores of
orphans in the Methodist Orphans
Home at Selma, is the opinion and
recommendation of S. II. Blan, lay
leader for the Alabama Conference.
Mr.. Blan said today:
Many Sunday schools in the Ala
bama Conference have custom of a.
great White Christmas each year for
the orphans home, while other Sun
day schools contribute to the home
quarterly.
sunday schools of the Alabama
Conference will endeayor this year to
make this the greatest offering ever
made to the orphanage. realizing as
they do the urgent need for funds by
this great institution.
"A Sunday school of another de-
nomination has challenged all schools
of the state in that denomination for
its orphanage, and one class in that
school alone is giving $3.50, while
others are giving $500 It is expected
that the offering of that school will
be the greatest in the state.
Methodist Sunday schools should
roll up great purse for thds most
worthy cause. Already in many school
classes of girls have worked for and
made their offering to the orphans. A
class of small boys in one Sunday
school gave $1.0O per member. the
boys making the money themselves.
