spring character and fine crowds

from Baltimore in the afternoon and
was greeted very cordially at the
splendid meeting Of the B. Y. P. y.

spite of the downpour of rain. Mr.
Brannock spoke at the evening ser
vice from the incident of the Gade-
rene demoniac, when Jesus bade
him Ego home and tell how great,
things the Lord had done for him.
1t was service full of spiritual
power. The preacher is a young man
but is a most effective preacher. His
use of illustrations shows not only
skill but great heart power. A
large number of the leading men and
women of the church came to the
front, they expressing a determine,
ton to reconsecrate themselves and
give themselves whole heartily to
the work Already the feeling is
prevalent that the revival has begun

New Gym Equipment

The Pioneers of Alexandria are re-
ioicing over the arrival of some new
gymnasium apparatus that has just

equipment.
Two eight pound medicine balls, a
large mat, a set of jumping stand
ards, and four dozen wands were al.
ready in use, having been secured

haps the greatest delight of young

apparatus will all be. used for the
mems classes as we'll as for those for

WASHINGTON
DAY BY DAY
(From our Special Correspondent

Washington, Nov. 28.-The Chinese
delegation to the international Dis
armament conference have undoubt-
edly held the center of the stage IN
the majority of the deliberations Oh
the committees and subcommlttees
created by the conference Tor the
purpose of untangling the knotty
problems of the Far Eastern situa-
ton.
China, for many years has been
governed by foreign nations, and it is
asking to be permitted to manage its
own affairs. Their laws, as out
lined by their spokesman, are held
to be of the highest quality, and the
conferees have agreed to surrender
all extra-territoriality rights immed-
lately provided they are executed
according to the standard Of the code
submitted by them. They have also
demanded the withdrawal of all for.
eign postoffices and request that
they be allowed to handle the entire
postal system.
Secretary of State Hughes, head
ing the American delegation in the
conference, when asked by the Ga
zette Correspondent as he merged
from the White House conference,
said that there would probably not
be another open session OF the full
conference for at least week, or
until the technical experts, working
on the Hughes formula for naval
disarmament have something definite
to report, or the committees engaged
in the discussion of Far Eastern
problems, have decided on some ba-
sis for the solution of those perplex-
ing problems. 1t will therefore be
impossible, until such time as the
full conference does convene. to de-
termine the attitude of the various
foreign countries on disarmament.
Far Eastern questions, and methods
of warfare.
NJ. Viviani, spokesman for the
French delegation to the conference,
refused to make any comment today
on Lord Curzon's speech, when asked
by newspaper correspondents: I'm
officials, the authoritative French
views however, are that Great Brl-
tain is trying to dominate the con-
ference so that they may gain the
supremacy of all Europe" The Brit
ish reioinder is that "France is de-
termined to break up the conference
because of it's lack of coordination
with the Versailles treaty."
1t is thought in some quarters
that President Harding has initiated
this conference with view to even.
tually forming an Association OF
Nations, which he advocated in his
recent political campaign.
The American proposal that there
be an assemblage of all nations, IN
cluding German, every year. Tor the
discussion and solution of world
problems, has met with general ia.
vor, with the possible exception OF
France. 1t is thought that the
French objection is due to their re-
sentiment of the inclusion Of Ger
many in the project.

INDUSTRIAL EFFICIENCY.

A committee of the American Engi-
.neering council, appointed by Herbert
Hoover when he was head of that body,
has been studying the elimination of
waste in industrial processes, and has
made some surprising discoveries. Less
than % per cent of the waste, says the
committee. is due to ineffective labor.
and inefficient management is responsible
for more than 80 per cent of it, This
will jar a good many employers who have
been explaining for the last two or three
years what they could do if thCy could
only get labor to do it's share.
More astonishing are the figures given
for the average rate of waste and ineffi-
cheney in particular industries, regardless
of causes. The building and clothing in
dustries, says the committee, are only
60 per cent efficient, the shoe industry
60 per cent efficient and the metal trades
20 to - per cent efficient That is to say,
in these important industries there is
anywhere from % to 40 per cent of fail
ure to accomplish what they ought to &C
complish in the way of output.
If this is true what becomes of our
Wanted industrial superiority? Ameri-
can business men and American mechan-
les have been supposed to lead the world.
1t would be interesting to have this com
mittee study and report on some of the
other industrial nations. particularly
Germany and England
