Cole. at takes one ton of seed to

have supply large enough to care
for 10000 lepers and we may be able
to find a larger supply. In that case
we will probably send some OF the
oil to India, China and other far east
countries which have leprosy.
At present there are 5000 lepers on
the island of Culior in the Philip
pine group, several hundred of whom
are now receiving the chaulmoogra
oil treatment. Governor General
Wood, who has expressed special in

lepers. has ordered large quantity
of the medicine and he plans to in
crease the number to whom it is
given as fast as possible. until all
have been given the benefit of it.

BERLIN STREET M!SHAPS
INCREASE 600 PER CENT

BERLIN, January 2.-The fact that
street accidents in Berlin have in
creased 500 per cent since 1918 has
/ led to the suggestion that one of the
causes may be the apparent effort to
! put American"pep" into the city's ev-
eryday life. One newspaper writer as
serts Berliners have become too busy
to greet friends in passing, that the
spirit of hustle is disturbing the gen.
eral routine and that the citizens on
the whole are growing nervous. He
deprecates 1.-The attempt to make Ber-
line street life look like 42d street
and Broadway"
Official reports say most of the ac-
cidents are due to speeding automo-
biles and careless pedestrians, who
step off the sidewalks and walk the
streets in every direction without once
looking to see if they are in the way
Of vehicular traffic"
There is no ordinance regulating
pedestrian traffic. Even at the more
cross the streets at will. taking their
chances with the automobiles. street
cars. omnibuses, trucks and horse
cabs.
There are no traffic policemen in the
Teuton metropolis, but it has been de-
cided to establish such a force. In the
meantime the security police" are
doing this duty.
The bicycle habit is very popular
with all classes, and particularly with
the police. who ride in squad forma-
ton. 1t Is not uncommon to see a
man rugged out in top hat and even
ing clothes riding his bike" to the
theater.

OF JOKE ON LORD BRYCE
Late Ambassador at Banquet Greet
ed by eliot Time," Substitute
for "God Save King"

TAMPA. Fla, February 1.-THE
sense of humor possessed by Hon.
Viscount Bryce, formerly British am
ba ssador to the United States, who
rasesd away recently in England
was strikingly illustrated at a
banquet rendered the statesman mere
some years ago by the Tampa

The orchestra, at the hotel where
the banquet was held was compose !

speak English. Willis b. Powell,
Formerly widely known m'dais

gram, and he undertook to instruct
the orchestra leader that when the
tcastmaster did the honors to Great
Britain and the ambassador ana tne
assembiage arose and lifted glasses.
for the toast, the orchestra should
play God Save the King" To be
certain that the leader understood
his instructions Powell whistled
few bars of the British national
anthem.
The suspicious moment arrived. The
POSTMASTER feelingly spoke OF the
cordial relations between Great Brit.
ain and the United States. proposed
toast to the mother country and her
ambassador. the company arose-and
the orchestra burst out with '"There'll
Be a Hot Time In the Old Town To-
night
The guests were struck dumb. and
all eyes turned toward Mr.. Bryce.
That gentleman began to laugh. He
laughed until the tears streamed
down hiS~face.
When the orchestra concluded its
rendition of the air 80 popular with
the Army and Navy during the Span

highly honored by the acclaim, played

Mr.. Bryce was so greatly amused at
the incident he took steps to see that

laXed).-An imposing meeting. con-
voked by the Bulgarian intellectual

opened by the rector of the universe
ty, who declared that Bulgaria, hav-
ing the strongest geographical, econ

and ask for a rational solution of

taken up by the supreme council

3c3, 1000 Thracian refugees to return
to their homes.
Other speakers at the meeting were
NJ Gueshov, minister, president and
promoter of the Balkan alliance ten
years ago; EX-minister Mollov and
NJ. Lukeev, a former chief OF staff.
All emphasized the fact that Bulga-
rians could not passively stand by
and watch thousands of their
form their homes destitute and dy-
ing. The entente powers. it was
claimed, were bound morally to find
a proper solution for the Thracian
question. This, the speaker said. lay
in having a plebiscite such as has
been accorded in other and less i'm
portant cases.
Resolutions were adopted and sent
: to- the supreme council urging
speedy solution of the question, as it
would bring peace to this most dam
gerous corner of the Balkan PENN
