TAKING UP INTER-
RACIAL PROBLEMS

Nashville, Tenn, Aug. "a. What
may be considered the most hopeful
development in the realm of race re-
lations in America Is the fact that all
the great Protestant denominations.
with a membership of nearly thirty
millions, are uniting in the study of
the problem with the view Of finding
a Christian solution.
The Federal Council of Churches
has appointed Commission on the
Church and Inter-Racial Relations.
which Is actively at work seeking to
promote the cooperation Of all church
groups in the effort to bring about
better conditions. In addition. the
question will be studied this year in
many thousands of missionary groups
and study classes. with an aggregate
membership running probably into mill
lions. To this end the Missionary
Education Movement. the Council OF
Women for Home Missions and the
Central Committee for Mission Study
have united in issuing a series OF
graded textbooks on race relations
with a number of others recommend
ed for supplementary work. Most OF
the missionary organizations have
provided also for the creation in each
local society of a committee to give
special attention to this matter.
1t Is significant that nearly all the
text books were prepared by Southerp-
ners and that the executive officers
of the Federal Council Commission
are all Southern men, indicating that
the South is leading in the effort to
find a thoroughly Christian basis for
the future relations of the race.

GOLD FISH USED ny CITIES no

(Bv A. N. FL


indianapolis. Ind, Aug. 24.--In this
city and other northern communities
people are putting goldfish In their
lily ponds to eat the eggs. and the
larvae Of mosquitoes. The resulting
benefit-in this climate, is relief from
q nuisance. On the western coast of
South America, the same plan. with
less expensive and ornamental fish,
was used to end an epidemic of yellow
fever.
That disease Is carried entirely by
the stegomyia mosquito. All efforts to
keer down these pests failed until
fish were called In as allies. Then the
problem was reduced to manageable
proportions; the epidemic was con-
duered. and no case OF yellow fever
has been reported in Peru for more
.hGn a year.
Similar measures have been zesorted
to In our own southern states to
check malaria. With the proper use
of the allies s5hich lrture has pror
videf in, such abundance, both these
plaques should be abolished in civili-
ed lands withir another generation:
