STATES SEND EXHIBITS
 T0BRAZILFA

SAN FRANCISCO, July 6.-Twen- ty-nine states and many large cities of the United States have agreed to send missions and exhibits to Brazils Centennial Exposition, according to Sebastiao Sampaio, special commer- cial commissioner of that country, who recently completed here tour of this country to extend an invita- tion to American business men to participate in the exposition.
 According to Sampao, the exposi- ton will open on September 7, Bra zirs Independence Day, and continue until March 31, 1923.
 The United States government is spending $1,000,000 in erecting two buildings at the exposition. One of these will cost $3O0,OOO, will be built of stone and will be occupied by eX- hibits of the federal government. After the exposition is over it will be used to house the American en- bassy and will be the finest en- bassy home of the United States in any country. The other will cost $7OO,O00 and will house exhibits of American citizens. Commissioners to represent the United States have al ready been appointed.
 BRAZIL IS FRIENDLY.
 Brazil, Sampaio declared, has much in common with the United States.
 "The constitution of Brazil, bar ring some of it's amendments" said Sampaio is almost exactly like that of the Unted States, save that the presidents term is limited to four years. He cannot be reelected. The first ambassador to foreign countries, sent out of Brazil in 1922, the year of it's independence went to Washing 4on. Don Pedro IT., emperor of Bra zil was the only foreign head of state who attended in person Phila- delphia's centennial exposition in 1876".
 Sampaio stated that the popula- ton of all South America is 62,CO0,- 900 and that of Brazil is 31 100000. Brazil contains 100000 square miles more territory than the United States and has 45 per cent of the area of South America The na- tiona1 language is Portuguese and not Spanish. In fact there are but 600,O00 Spanish-speaking people in Brazil.
 Sampaio gave some interesting figures on coffee. He stated that the worlds coffee consumption is 20,00O,- 900 sacks a year and of that amount 10,000,0O0 sacks are consumed in the United States.

the quantity of water at present

was spread over a much larger ter

There is a possibility that the

DRIFT FROM FAITH
rs CAUSING CRIME,
DETECTIVE HOLDS

Drink and drugs are not the un-
derlying causes Of crime, but the
chief reason is the natural inclina-
ton of people of the present day to
drift away from the faith of their
fathers, according to Harry ].
Loose, detective, and formerly an
active member of the Chicago po-
lice force, who spoke at Augustana
college last evening.
Mr.. Loose explained that the rea-
son for his success in his 81 years
of active service was not so much
that he was a super-man or tough
er than the rest, but because of the
fact that he had always led clean,
wholesome and Christian life.
He brought with him a member
of the Chicago police force, who
aided him in showing a fine collec-
ton of tools of crime which Mr..
Loose had captured while in ser
vice.
Mr.. Loose, now retired on pen
sion, served II years on the Chi
cago police force. Before that he
was a member of the state police
and also in the employ of the Pink
erton detective agency.
Mr.. Loose paid special tribute to
the work of the ministers of the
country in the prevention of crime.
They, above all others, are on the
inside and know more about what
is going on in their individual COM
munities than the average citizen
does, and they are continually &C
tive for the betterment of such
people and of their city, he said.
