an alternating current is run through
the primary wires of a transformer no
interrupter is required as the mag

general types of transformers in use.

an iron core covered with two wind

where such a transformer can be
used, an ordinary spark-coil with the

every purpose. The Other type is
known as the "closed-core trans

iron plates or Nominations in the form
of a hollow square and which are
wound on one side for the primary
and on the opposite side for the
secondary, Fig. Is B. Although either
one of these types may be made at
home, yet it is not advisable to at
tempt 1t. IN the first place, several
thousand turns of secondary wire are
required and it is tedious and diff
cult matter to wind these on evenly
and well. Moreover, the number of

Church Has its Best
Opportunity in the South

Newark, N. j., March 3O.-There
are 100000 negroes in the United
States, Rev. I. Garland Penn told the
members of the Newark conference
of the Methodist Episcopal church
here tonight. Thirty per cent of
the population of the South is negro"
he added, "yet over forty per cent
of all the persons engaged in agri-
culture in the South are negroes. 1t
is here that the church has it's best
opportunities for the uplift of the
masses of the negro people.
give hundred thousand negroes
have recently shifted from agricul-
tural life of the South to industrial
centers of the North. In Harlem
New York Cityy, there are 10000
negroes, the seating capacity of the
negro churches of Harlem is only 20,-
900. This unchurched situation has
it's counterpart in Chicago and is an
acute problem in every large city of
the North. The Methodist Episcopal
church has developed negro institu-
tional churches in New York, Phila-
delphia, Baltimore, Detroit, Chicago
and other Northern cities.
Approximately 100000 young peo-
pie have been enrolled in our insti-
tutions. Only about $4,000 can be
classed as graduates, but the fact
that they have been enrolled and have
had training in our institutions has
had marked influence in the uplift
of the negro people along all lines
Many of the under graduates have

Cabinet Responsible for Evil

Santiago, April 1.-Instability OF
Chilean cabinets is largely respon-
sible for the great evils now be-
setting the country" President Ales-
sandri said in communication to
members of his latest official family
in which he asked them to withdraw
their designations, given last month
after motion of lack of confidence
was rejected by the Chamber of
Deputies.
The president has taken the stand
that cabinets should only resign in
face of frank vote to that effect
in parliament.
Observers of politics here agree
that the ministerial crises usually
are provoked through personal pique
or, as one publication expressed it,
with the deliberate intention of
opening the way for scramble for
office" Three ministries have come
and gone in President Alessandris
first year in office while there were
1S different cabinets during his
predecessors term.

ly attacks the methods of plotting

Shipment of Brick and Stone

Manila, P. l., Feb. 90 By MaiD
After travelling more than halt
way around the world, a shipment OF
what was supposed to be cotton tex
tiles, turned out to be bricks, paving
stone and hay.
On February 18th the freighter
Ocean Monarch arrived here from
New York and way ports bringing q
cargo of general merchandise. The
ships manifest showed that a ship.
ment of cotton textiles was consign.
ed to Linn Tuico and Company, 9
Chinese firm. When the cargo was
unloaded, the cases were taken te
that concerns warehouse where they
were opened and found to contain
only bricks, granite blocks and hay
The manager of Linn Tuico and Com
pany told the surveyor of the porI
that the paving stones which were
carefully packed in cases, were about
one foot square and very similar tt
the stone used in pavement of streets
in New York.
The surveyor said the fact thai
the stone was carefully packed il
cases led him to believe that the sub
stitution was made at New York be
fore the cases were placed on boart
shin.

American History to
Be Studied in England

London, March 28.-An appeal fo
deeper and more syystematic stud,
in England Of American history an,
institutions has been made by DR.
George Peabody Gooch, a prominen
political author, before the Society o.
Experiment and Research in Educa
tion at the University College here.
One reason for the appalling ne
glect on this side of American histor,
was, he thought, "the deep and in.
eradicable conviction that American
history was dull"
people here have a sort of idea
he went on. 4that when America be-
came independent she didn't concern
us any more, and to this day we
know more about the American col
onial period than about the period of
Independence"
American literature, DR.. Gooch con-
tinued, has been carefully studied
here but there were extraordinarily
few books by English writers on Am
erican history and institutions. While
giving due praise to the works of
Lord Bryce, Sir George Trevelyan
and Lecky, he had come to the con-
clusion he said that English people
only read American historians when
theyy were not writing about their
own country.
Professor Harold Laski, of London
University, advocated reforms in the
teaching methods at Oxford and
Cambridge, contrasting the American
system with the English much in
favor of the former, because. he said,
it left something to the students

Nationwide Investigation
Of Unemployment

New York, March 3O.-A nation
wide investigation Of unemployment
in the United States, as affected by
the business cycle, is being made BY
the National Bureau of Economic
Research.
This inquiry is defined as an en-,
deavor to reduce economic waste, tc
increase production and to formulate
comprehensive policy and program
for the better control of the factors
in business and industry hitherto left
largely to chance.
1t is expected that, together with
the companion inquiry on seasonal
unemployment which will follow, ii
will disclose definitely the causes,
trends and distribution of unemploy-
ment.
Wesley Clair Mitchell, the bureaus
director of research, is conducting the
inquiry under the auspices of the
standing committee which was left in
being by the Presidents Conference
on Unemployment and of which
Secretary of Commerce Hoover is
chairman
On the basis of the information
obtained, the committee hopes to rec
ommend concrete policy and pro-
gram of control to displace tempo

Methodist Press
Centenary Movement

Nashville, Tenn, March 29.-Dr. j
J. Stowe, secretary of the stewardship
and tithing department of the Mission
ary Centenary movement of the Meth
odist Episcopal Church, South, has
just returned to Nashville headquar-
ters after a round of visits through
Mississippi, Georgia and other sec
tions of Southern Methodist territory
in the interest of "World Sunday
&c the church-wide collections cam
paign in behalf of overdue subscrip-
tions to the world program of Meth
odist missions.
DR.. Stowe announced that in the
IL or more places visited by him he
conferred with pastors, presiding ell
ders and laymen, held district group
meeting and congregational gather,
ings, and that everywhere he encoun-
tered spirit of optimism and was
assured of the hearty support of all
the agencies of the church in bringing
the collection of overdue centenary
money to successful conSummatlon
DR.. Stowe stated that the present
movement was not an effort to secure
new money but to meet the shortage
in collections, due to the fact that the
centenary amount is now due and
third annual payment on the entire
lacks 20 per cent of realization. DR.
Stowe expressed the belief that wher
the centenary forces retired from the
field the week following "World Sun.
day" a sufficient amount would have
been collected on unpaid subscriptions
to assure the final success of the
movement and the uninterrupted pro.
gress of the missionary program made
possible by the subscription of $35,
100000 for world missions.

Jugoslavia Looking
To u. S. For Aid

Belgrade, Jugoslavia, March 3d.
Jugoslavia is looking to the United
States in the hope of obtaining aid in
solving her grave financial and econ
omic problems. The little Slav state
believes it cannot overcome them
without foreign assistance
Its obligations amount to nearly
81 600, 100000 including an indebted
ness of more than $5O,OOO,OOO to the
United States and twice that sum to
England.
The dinar, the country's unit of
currency, (normally worth about 10
cents) has reached the pitiful ex-
change level of a cent and a quarter.
The amount of outstanding paper
money is nearly 5,OOO,OOO,OOO dinars.
Of this sum only 400 100000 dinars
is covered by ygold reserve or securi-
ties. The states Indebtedness to the
National Bank is 4,5O0, 100000 dinars.
The budget for the new year has
reached the staggering total of g.
00000O,00 dinars. This is 80 times
greater than pre-war budgets. Moro
than a third of this is for military
and defense purposes. The national
revenue is much below the total of
the budget.
The government is faced with tre-
mendous problems of reconstruction
which are believed to be impossible
to complete without loans from
abroad
Throughout the southern part of
the kingdom most of the instruments
of industry are either destroyed or
are seriously insufficient. Railroads
are out of order or function very
poorly.
That the government does not de-
spair of the outlook is shown by an
optimistic statement of the Minister
of Finance to Parliament, in which
he said: "Our state possesses with
in it's frontiers all the elements neces-
sarry for great prosperity and the
means of securing a more rapid res
toration than any other country
which may have suffered the same
losses. Our coal, our iron and other
mineral products, our varied agri-
cultural production, our great water
power, exhaustless forests, immense
river traffic, our contact with the
great industrial centers of Central
Europe and the apportionment of
property among the people---all OF
these conditions, I am sure, will con-
tribute to the rapid restoration OF
our kingdom. There is no economic
reason why we should despair of our
future"

Total Grain Yield of Russia

Moscow, March 2S.-Russia's total
grain yield for 1922 will be only
about one-half the average before the
war, the Commissar of Agriculture
estimates. He forecasts the total as
1000, 100000 pools (of about &c
pounds each). This would allow only
little more than one and one-third
pounds of bread day for each in
habitant To make such an equal
distribution, however, would be i'm
possible with Russia's disorganized
railways.
The 1922 crop will be small it is
estimated, principally because of the
failure of the seed campaign. Some
of the seed purchased in America for
the government may arrive in time
for use but, up to the present, out of
the 100000 pools of seed grain
which the government hoped to fur
nish, only 100000 pools have been
received. Much of this according to
the State Plan Commission, which
was charged with its gathering, is of
poor quality and some absolutely use
less.
The unexpected famine in the Uk-
raine also contributed to the lack of
seed and grain.
The government has decided. it is
said, to fix the natural tax levy this
year at 3S0,00O,OOO pools, or about
100000 pools requested but not all
secured last year.
The 1922 tax is to be based solely
upon rye yield, eliminating special
taxes on vegetables, hay, etc, but as
Sessing these products upon basis
of their equivalent value in rye. The
produce secured by the tax would be
used for government rations feeding
the Red army.
