RICE AND ROOF
 CRY IN NIPPON

NEWARK, N. J., April 14+-The ideals of "self determination and de- mocracy which were among the promises of the World War have stirred the peoples of Asia and Africa to their depths" said Rev. Dr. Titus Lowe, of the board of foreign missions of the Methodist Episcopal Church, in an address here. The re- cent conference on limitation of armament and Pacific problems was the greatest achievement in foreign missions in many centuries. he said.
 "In Japan there is cry for rice and a roof and for share in the government on the part of the peo- plea rising tide of democracy in ernment. In China quarter of the human race is endeavoring to or ganize a popular government. We never have appreciated the magni- ,Lde of that movement of 400 mil lions in China. In India the Brit Sh empire is transferring to the peoples many governmental respon- abilities.
 There is insistent need that spir- it,1oJ Iot of Education so that the ideals of ignorant anarchy shall dominate these movements.
 Think of the race question. Un- less we turn new page in history and work out some means of CO., operation between races we are go- ing into a struggle even worse than that through which we have just come.
 "Industrialism, though farther ad- yanced in Japan, is making rapid progress in China. We are export ing not only our machinery, but our industrial problems.
 l., "The Washington conference. was a foreign missionary affair because it took great steps toward the ac- complishment of the ultimate end of foreign missions, which is the es- tablishment of good will and brother hood among the nations. But it is not enough to make treaties without the spirit of confidence, mutual good will and normal integrity.
 "The time has gone by when for eign missions can be regarded as the speciality of few fanatics.
 To-day there are considerably more than a million Christians in China"

WILL TELL PEOPLE
Of u. S. ABOUT navy
Roosevelt lndorses NAVY
Day" as Urged by President
of Navy League.

A proposal by the Navy League to
set aside Navy day. to be observed
throughout the country the last Fri
day in October, tito inform the people
not only of what their Navy has done
for them in its glorious past achieve
ments, but also of what their Navy is
doing from day to day, and will do
for them in the future" has received
the hearty Support of Acting secre-
tary Roosevelt.
The idea was suggested several
weeks ago and submitted by President
X. j. Kelley Of the Navy League after
meeting of the leagues executive
committee.
Appeals for Support.
Mr.. Kelley's letter and Col. Roose-
velts reply, made public by the lat
ter; s.Mx Mfollow; low; in part:
League. as you know, is a civilian or
ganization, founded for the purpose of
promoting more general knowledge
, OF the Navy. The people should be in
formed in every detail as to what
| tneir Navy Is doing for them. for it
Is on them that the Navy depends for
its support.
Above these considerations, how
ever, the Navy is a great and potent
! tactor for the development and aid of
our people during peace time. / do not
oeileVe the farmers and manufac-
turers of this country realize how
closely the Navy is interviewer w.th
Their everyday affairs. The Navy is
interlocked with many great benevo-
lent associations. such as the Red
| Cross. Y. NJ. C. A., Knights of Column
nus. Jewish Welfare Board, Navy Re-
lief. Near East Relief and others.
Every year thousands of young men
return to civilian life after a term
OF service in our Navy. These young
way. for. in addition to the love of
country which is inculcated through
service to the flag. they have been
practically fitted by work in many
diverse occupations to earn their
livelihood.
The participation of the Navy in
the celebration of Navy day, in any
way you may suggest. will be cor
daily appreciated
Yours very truly.
(Signed) "R. ]. KELLEY"
Mr.. Roosevelt's Reply.
MY Dear Mr.. Kelley:
want to thank you for your
letter. Your idea is sound i'm every
way. l think it particularly good
we have in the country. The people
of the seaboard are reasonably
familiar with the Navy. They see
the great ships. They know the Navy
men. In the interior of our country,
1t is. however. a different story. The
people of Kansas and Oklahoma do
not get the opportunity for first-hand
information that their fellow -coun-
trymen of California and New York
do. They do not realize that the
Navy serves them equally with the
,, people of the seaboard
believe me. yours very truly,
(Signed)

HUMAN DIGESTIVE PROCESSES
SHOWN IN TEST WITH CLASS JAR


Imitation OF at least part Sf the
human digestive process by uaIng- a
glass jar In place Of a human stomach
is the latest achievement Of scientists
at the Department Of Agriculture. :
Recent tests have been SO successful
that the scientists issued an official
bulletin announcing that it is now pos
sible to determine the digestibility OF
the protein in foods and whether it. is
necessary to cook various foods with
out conducting feeding tests, thus saw
ing much time and expense
Here Is the plan, as described in the
bulletin:
"The poteins to be tested, those
from beans, for instance. are placed
In glass containers In a dilute solution
of hydrochloric acid, similar to that
found normally in the stomach. The
proper quantity OF pepsln is added.
and the mixture is placed in an incu-
bator. where the temperature Is kept
at the same point as that of the hu

contents of the container are sampled
and analyzed. The digestive effect is
measured by the ratio Of what is known
as amino-nitrogeH to total nitrogen. By
running through cooked and uncooked
protein from beans 1t )is possible to de-
termine which is the more easily acted
upon by the chemicals in this artificial
stomach, and consequently by the
stomach itself.
After the food has been acted upon
by the pepsin and hydrochioric acid, il
is treated with trypsin and a dilute al
