Writing to The Star a prominent

some interesting subjects for treat
ment in these columns. He says, in
part:
Three things have been on my
mind for some time which may ap-
peal to you as worthy of a drive.
90 In connection with safety for
all-especially for those who may be
hurt or killed. as well as the automo-
tilist who has to stand the trial and
expense-could it not be feasible to
have policemen, fremen and. possibly,
letter carriers. ie., all public officers,
who are on the streets a great deal,
stop and caution children and. pos
sibly, pedestrianS who are constantly
exposing themselves to danger by
hanging on machines, throwing or
holding sticks for cars to run over
walking out from between parked
cars. where they cannot see an APP
preaching car nor can the driver see
them. These things are well known
and of daily occurrence. but l do not
know Of one case where the offender
has been cautioned by an officer.
"(2} Racing ambulances through
the streets. Ask any hospital head
how many they have saved or reliev-
ed by such haste, and If it is always
necessary.
"(3) An anti-noise crusade. Noisy
cars OF ancient vintage, intolerable
trucks and motor cycles with muller
cutout. All these are bad enough In
the daytime, but much worse at night
and in the early evening. Stopping
these practices L am sure would re-
move some of the criticism now
heaped upon automobilists.'

GROWTH OF YM.C.A.
ACTIVITIES IN CHINA
RELATED BY WORKER

Progress of Y. M. C. A. work in
China Is told in a letter received here
by Julian L. Smith, secretary of the
Y. M. C. A., from F. S. Brockman. as
sociate general secretary of the inter-
national committee of the Y. M. c. A.
with John r. Mott. The letter is Of
particular interest because many To-
cal citizens are contributing to "Y''
work in China while aiding Thomas
Elliott, former Earlham student and
native of Indiana, who has been at
work in China for IA years.
In part the letter says: Twelve
years ago Munson, the general secre-
tary, came to Foochow. Since then
the Y. M. c. A. has greatly changed.
Then there were three foreign secre-
taries and one Chinese secretary; now
there are four foreign secretaries, an
increase of only one, and % Chinese
secretaries, an increase of 81
These Chinese secretaries do not
include the 25 full time Chinese teach
ers in the educational department At
that time there were five Bible clas-
ses with an enrolment of 50: now
there are 127 Bible classes with an
enrolment of 1916. This increase is
seen in all departments.
Preach to Thousands.
within that time the association
has held under Sherwood Eddys
leadership the great evangelistic meet
ings at which tens of thousands heard
the gospel and number of leading
men of the city were converted; it has
conducted campaign of education
against cholera in which 100000 peo
pie were reached and over $500 volun
teer workers took part"
Mr.. Smith said Friday that Rich
mond people have contributed much
through the local association for the
support of the Chinese Y M c. A
work, and that this support is aiding
In spreading the association work
among the heather peoples of China
