BAPTlSTS IN BURMA
One Half Christian Population. Belong
To That Denomination

To That Denomination
Rangoon, Burma, November r. ICor.
respondence of The Associated Press I
The missionary conference, which
recently closed its thirty fifth annual
session here, presented statistics to
show that there are now about 500 900
Christians In Burma. half OF whom are
Baptists.
Dr. Joseph C. Robbins OF New York,
representing the American Baptist
Foreign society of which he is foreign
secretary for British India, in an ad-
dress to the missionaries, discussed
important problems and emphasized
the advisability of new missionaries
making a thorough study OF the Bur.
mese language, in order better to at
tain the viewpoint OF the people with
whom they work. The chief topic OF
debate was the question of grants in
aid, which the mission has been re-
ceiving from the British government
contended that the acceptance oi
these financial grants is q violation oi
the historical Baptist doctrine OF the
separation of church and state, the
conference voted that present condi,
tions in Burma justify the continuance
of this policy. The conscience clause
was another disputed question. Its
adOpClOn would mean that In all mis-
sion schools attendance at Bible study
classes would be optional rather thar
compulsory.
The conference recommended the
appointment OF an educational secre-
tary for Baptist schools In Burma. An
other important action was the decis-
ion to establish at Insein in a Burn
ese and Karen language school fol
new missionaries. At Taunggyi, Burma
school is being established for the
children of missionaries. An American
teacher has already arrived and the
Institution is to open early in 1922.

student strike, the total enrolment
had increased since December 1920
During this time there has been 2E

HEARING BANK CASE
Important Question Expected In Trial
at Dickenson, NJ. D.


Dickinson, N. D., December IL
Powers of the guaranty fund commits
sion, state banking board and courts
as regards insolvent banks are expect
ed to be clearly defined as the result
OF a case here today before Judge
Lembke in Start county circuit courl
C.-L Merrick of Minneapolis asked
the court to remove receivers appoint
ed by the Guaranty fund commission
for the Security State Bank of New
England, Slope county Bank of Ami
don, and farmers State Bank OF Have
lock and appoint other receivers.
The state, the banking board and
guaranty fund commission hold
through their attorney, c. l. Young
of Bismarck, that this is not within
the power of the court and that the
board and commission have complete
control of insolvent banks.
The commission will also ask Judge
Lembke to remove a receiver which
he appointed on request OF attorney
for creditors for Slope County bank
The answer filed by the commission
whose personnel was changed through
the recall election, reveals the inten-
tion of the commission to group sew
eral of the closed banks under one re-
ceiver thus reducing by about one halt
number of receivers in state banks in
North Dakota.

Don t Ape Men In
Politics Is Urged
Joplin Woman Gives Advice To
The Fair Sex As To Place In
Campaigns
[Assooiared Press Dispatch. j

Joblin, Mo-, December z1.-Women
can assist politics more by acting on
their own initiative than by initiating
men according to Mrs. Emil Newell
Blair Of this city, newly elected Dem
ocratic National Committeewoman
from Missouri. Il believe" Mrs Blair
asserted, women should consider
themselves builders rather than re
formers, and that women can accom-
plish most in upbuilding politics by
collaborating their efforts with those
Of the men.
Women have contribution to
make to politics, and can best in their
own way, believe, than by apeing the
men," Mrs. Blair, native Of Joplin,
is prominent as short story writer
and has been interested In politics for
nearly decade.
Her Work In Washington
During the war, she served in
Washington as member of the pub
icity committee OF the National
Council Of Defense. She also was
vice chairman Of the Missouri division
OF the council.
Always a proponent of woman suf-
frage, Missouri political leaders OF
both sexes agree that 1t was due to
efforts Of Mrs. Blair in 1914, when she
had charge of publicity work for the
suffrage movement in Missouri, that
the Missouri congressional delegation
was swung into the aye column on the
issue.
AS vice chairman Of the Missouri
League of Women Voters, Mrs. Blair
assisted in organizing state branches
OF the national organization in Florida
and Mississippi and while in the
former state was engaged by the uni
versfty Of Florida to lecture ON citi :
zenship. In 1920 she, with national
officers Of league, attended both the
Democratic and Republican national
conventions, and spoke before the
respective resolutions committees on
safeguarding interests of women
