HEAL HI CENTER |S.
 CLINIC FUR ADULT.
Annual Inventory Of Bones And Tissues And Auditing Of
 Organic Accounts Urged

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. s.-(By As- sociated Press .)--People should take an annual inventory of their bones and tissues, they should have their organic accounts audited by experts, in the opinion of the promoters ot sble-bodied just established in San Francisco by the medical school of the University of California.
 The Health Center is what it's name implies. It Is for healthy adults rather than for the ailing. It is only for persons who cannot meet the fees of family physicians for R simi- lar service.
 Thus prevention forms the corner stone of the Health Center. Those entitled to examination are asked to present themselves by appointment. If they think they are in the best of health, so much the better. Perhaps they are, perhaps not. At any rate, they are gone over scientifically, from ear to toe. If any malady or dangerous tendency Is discovered, treatment is prescribed. Those pass ing the tests without a scratch are given general advice. a sort of verbal health insurance policy, and told to return for other examinations at their birthday anniversaries.
 The Health Center is pioneer work for medical school, according to Dr. l.. s. Schmitt, the acting dean. He explained that 1t supplemented work already in general use, such as baby clinics and training for motherhood.
 Dr. Schmitt said recently: The need for periodic examinations of ap- parently normal individuals has been set forth in numerous publications. The aims of the Health Center are to discover defects in the ways of liv- ing; hazards of occupation; minor de-

HAS IMMENSE EMPIRE
Colonial Holdings In Africa Exceed
 Those Of Great Britain


 Instead of North America and In- dia, Africa is now the most in.p tant field of French colonial develop ment. Here the French possessions have an area of 4,S0o,o00 square miles; that is, IT times the size of France itself, and a colored popula- tion equal to the number of Frances white inhabitants. The French colo nies in Africa, which exceed those of Great Britain by about one-fifth, sug- gest kind of confederation. slowly built up by the gradual acquisition of 20 provinces from 1890 up to the Versailles treaty. A beginning was made with the annexation in 1880 of Northern Algeria, to which were add ed the colonies of Gabon, Congo, Cbangi, and Chad in 1S43: Guinea and Ivory. Coast in 1S43: .Somaliland in 1864; Tunis in 1Ss1; Senegal in 1889: Sudan, Volta, Dahomey and Mauri- tania in 1893. Madagascar and Re union in 1896; Southern Algeria in 1902; Niger and Morocco in 1912; and the German Cameroons in 1919.'
 The value of the African empire is seen in its trade both with France and with the world at large. Produc- ton Is already nearing 100000 tons yearly for the whole dominion, most ly raw materials for manufacturers and foodstuffs for export. As for the commercial balance, the day Is expected when the 100000. .000 francs Of pre-war trade will reach 5000, 900, : 900. There could be no better pros- pect for French prosperity at home and for French exchange in foreign countries. Especially in Morocco, AL gerla and Tunisia. agriculture is be- Ing developed on a large scale.

BUENOS AIRES, Dec. s.-tBy Asso- ciated Press.)-A group of British army officers, headed by Colonel Car ruthers. will start from Pernambuco soon in an effort to find the source of the Amazon river according to Maj.

Reno, New, Branch,
N. A. A. C.. p, Sends
White Gunman to
Prison

Mrs. Thomas Russell. secretary of
the Reno, Nevada, branch of the Ma
tional Association for the Advance
ment of Colored People, has reported
by letter to the National office on the
successful prosecution of white man
who shot Il cOlored hotel porter in
Reno. The report is as follows:
ION July Z, 1922, a colored hotel
porter was shot by guest over Il pass
key. After IL few days in the hospital
the victim recovered. The perpetra-
tor was arrested and released on
bonds. AT the time of the shooting
the local branch hired lawyer to see
that we got fair deal. We paid this
lawyer $50. with the understanding if
the perpetratOr was set free we would
carry the case to the Stare Supreme
Court and pay an additional fee of
500.
AT the first trial the jury disagreed
ten for conviction and one for ac-
quittal. The second trial was convic-
ton of attempted murder, with sen
tence of from one to two years in the
penitentiary. The jury was out only
short while and We're unanimous
They told our lawyer they felt that IA
white man could not commit such n
crime against IL colored man in Reno
and not be punished Our lawyer
worked very quietly and secured evil
dence which he gave to the prosecut-
ing attorney, and while we would all
like to have seen IA heavier sentence
we feel we have at least let Il South
ern cracker from Texas Che is from
that state) learn we do things Il bit
different in Nevada than Texas"

|, $3.50 DIE IN u. S. MINES
IN 1922, BUREAU SAYS
Thirteen Major Accidents in Year,
F.. Increase Of Eight,
Are Cited.

Thirteen major" disasters out of
1880 fatal accidents in coal mines of
the United States occurred in 1922. the
bureau of mines announced today. In
each of these disasters, at least five
lives were lost. During 1921 only
five major disasters, with q total loss
of thirty-four lives, were recorded.
Eleven of last years disasters were
caused by explosions and caused the
death of 261 men.
This increase In major disasters is
seen as the outstanding feature OF
the 1929 record of mine mishaps in
the bureaus report.
While gas and dust explosions
claimed many lives in 1922, the bu-
reau claims that the largest field for
reducing the death rate in coal mines
lies in the prevention of deaths from
falls of rock and coal. Such accidents
usually claim their victims one or
two at time, and are attended by
none of the spectacular features that
characterize u large explosion, but 1t
is always found, at the end of the
year that, If falls of roof and coal
could have been eliminated, nearly
half the lives lost in mine accidents
could have been saved.
The report points out that the min
ing companies. the miners and all
persons interested have been apprised
of the best known methods for pre-
venting gas and dust explosions. Yet
in the face of what would seem to be
an adequate knowledge of the sub
Ject, the bureau says. and sometimes
apparently In spite of Intelligent pre-
cautions, an explosion occurs, causing
the loss OF many lives and bringing
destruction to mining property. Dur
ing 1922. eighty-seven men were kill
ed In q single explosion, while in an
other accident the loss of life was
seventy-seven.
