Former students and graduates of

much interest in the united movement
for Christian education Aow being
conducted by the members Of that
church nj Kentucky. Offers of as
sstance are being received daily from
former students. Graduates of these
two institutions which share in the
quota OF $1,0O0,000 to be subscribed
are scattered over the entire country
and it is planned by these volunteer
workers to get in touch with those
outside of the state and stress the
present movement which will mean so
much for the cause of Christian edu-
cation. A preliminary survey has been
made Of the larger cities of the state
and it is expected that the smaller
communities will be visited within the
next few weeks. AS soon as this is
completed dates will be announced

CLEANUP DRIVE OF
LEGION FOR DISABLED
SOLDIERS IN KENTUCKY
Efforts Being Made TO Get All Claims
Of Disabled Soldiers in This State
Adjusted rs Soon as is
Possible.

The Federal Government has heon
liberal in the provisions of its legis-
lation in favor of those among its
fighting personnel who were disabled
during the World War. The 1929 Jeg-
stature, realizing that many eligible
kentuckians had failed to prove their
claims through technicalities or ig-
ORANGE, created Kentucky Disabled
EN-Service Mems Board. which was
organized on March 1st, 1922.
Jackson Morris, Emmett O'Neal and
Henry j. Sites, who with Mrs. Mar
Saret l.. Duncan, are the members of
the Board, have personally visited
more than half of the counties in Ken
lucky where in every instance they
nave found many meritorious. cases
and so state that strenuous EFFORTS
are needed if the state will be success
ful in getting disabled Kentuckians to
lille claims before August 9th, 1922
when the statute of limitations takes
effect under section 306 of the Sweet
bill.
In last mighty effort, the Ameri.
can Legion is putting on a Clean Tn
drive, commencing June 3Oth and run
ming through July 18th and in its in
tensity rivaling the Liberty and Vic
tory Loan Drives of war days.
Plans were perfected in a series of
division conferences held in Bowling
Green, Winchester Ashland. Coving-
ton, Princeton. Shelbyville and Dan
vile. Each American Legion Post sent
its service officer and campaign chair
man to the nearest division confer
ence. which were also attended by Off
cials of the United States Veterans
Bureau who explained the procedure,
forms and evidence required by the
Government in establishing claims.
Persons disabled during the world
war must file claims for compensation
prior to the limitation period which
expires August 9th, 1922, as otherwise

Scotch, Welsh, and Manx, practically
all fwhom were English speaking)
decreased from 9,930,S6l in 1910 TO g.
729,365 in 1920, the rate decrease
being per cent, and the number of
white persons of German mother
tongue declined during the SAM
period from S,646,402 to S,164,109, a
decrease of Sc per cent; while for all
other important linguistic stocks in
creases are shown some o fthem 1T
very high rates. In particular, the

cording TO their own mother tongue,
while natives of foreign or mixed par
entage are classified according to the

tai foreign white stock; in 1920, only
26.7 per cent. In 1910 persons of Ger
man mother tongue constituted 26.s

the others opened a path for the

PERISH IN STORM

HONG KONG. Aug. S.-The ty-
phoon at Swatow is believed to have
been the biggest in China's history
and already has claimed victims va
riously estimated to number be-
tween 10000 and 10000.
1t is to early to obtain an exact
figure on the loss of life. The street
of the stricken city are a mass of
wreckage. Corpses are flowing
about everywhere, and even ships
ten miles out at sea have reported
drifting bodies. Police are endeav-
oring to keep a vigorous watch for
bandits and ghouls. Relief agencies
are rushing supplies to the devas-
tated area in order to ward of
famine.
