WOMAN RELIEF WORKER
HITS CHESTER CONTRACT
Trading in Turkey May Endanger
U. S. Prestige for Humanitarian
Aims, She Says.
BY the Associated Press.

ATLANTA, Ga. May 1.-THE recent
commercial agreement made by the
Turkish government at Angora with
group OF American capitalists. popu-
larly known as the Chester conces-
sion, was zone of the most disastrous
things for the future of the near east
that has ever happened" declared
Mrs. ]. w. Enrich, national director
of women's organizations for near
east relief work. in an address before
the council Of the General Federation
of Women's Clubs last night.
Mrs. Enrich. who recently returned
from Constantinople, where she said
she was engaged in relief work for
several years, said the name "Ameri-
can" in Turkey stood for an agency
totally disinterested in anything else
than relief and humanitarian work
She voiced a fear that American en-
trance into International commercial
exploitation would endanger Amer
ica's prestige in Turkey.

NEW SPIRIT IN RUSSIA
Young Men Of Today Never Thinks Seriously
 Of Nationalism

MOSCOW, Russia, Nov 24.-(By As sociated Press.)-An 1S-year-old boy Of the coming Russian generation boarded the Riga Moscow express at a wayside station the other day, and drew the interested attention of carload of foreign passengers. He was freckle faced, smiling, energetic, bragging and full of nationalism, and he seemed to typify an impor- tant element that, in recent years, has come out the crucible in which the present day leaders of Russia are mixing their international chem icals.
 Change this lady's Russian blouse for a suit of the college clothes" extensively advertised in America; his round-necked hair cut for the prevailing style across the sea, his soft peasant accent for slang sprinkled United States, and he might have been an American boy boastnS of his own home town, his own state and the U. s. A, in general.
 The Russian youth was a railroad guard. The locomotive on his .rain. built by Russians 10 years ago and repaired by Russians a few weeks before, was better than any locomo- tive ever built abroad, it's drive wheels higher, and it's speed surely greater. His train was cleaner his railway administration was better his country's crops best, his coun- try's future the rosiest.
 The determination of Peter the Great back in 1700 forced upon his people an acceptance of the idea that the accomplishments of western civilization were superor to their own. This thought lived long time, for up to six years ago, before the recent revolution, Russians, partic- ularly the educated young, were in clined to swallow without question the claims of foreign civilization to superiority. They were timid violets in the field of nationalism, shyly of- fering Russian art as an offset to the more practical accomplishments of the Germans, English, Americans and French.
 In 1917 the Russian soviet govern ment set out to establish a spirit of internationalism throughout Russia and the world at large, and the third international is still preaching the

REALTY BOARD STANDS FOR CITYS PROGRESS
Stands For Honesty Among Mem
 bers And General Public

Standing for the highest develop ment and the progress of Brming- ham in every respect, the Brming- ham Real Estate board, consisting of approximately 75 firms, employing over 200 experienced men in the or ganization, is one of the potent fac tors in the city today, said J. l.. Yan- cey, of the Yancey Real Estate and Insurance company.
 In explaining the workings of the board Mir. Yancey said: Tt is non- political, but has the courage ana will advocate the passage of all laws that are for public good. as well as to oppose those things that are detrl- mental. It also offers it's services free to the city, county and state in all reasonable demands, and it's ad- vice and consultation is frequently sought, and responds graciously
 "The board stands for honesty and fair dealing among the members as well as with the general public ana frowns Upon questionable practices. It deserves the aid and cooperation of the public. especially of property owners whose interest it has at heart. and should at least have 50o associate members to encourage an1 help them in a material way in ad- vancing their own interest. as it can not benefit itself without doing like wise the general public"

IS FIVE NlAGARAS IN ONE
Gcrsoppa Falls In southern India Sur
 passes All Others

There is q popular impression that Niagara Falls are the highest in the world. As a matter of fact. the Ger soppa, or Jog Falls in the western Chats of South India are roughly five times the height of Niagara and sur pass also the great falls of Kaieteur in British Guiana and the famous Victoria Falls on the Zambezi river. The Gersoppa Falls arc on the Shar- await river in the North Kanara dis trict of Bombay at a point about 20 miles from the mouth of the river where the stream plunges into a nar- row gorge on its Way to the Indian ocean.
 The cliff over which the Gersoppa Falls leap is S60 feet high. When there is only a moderate amount of water in the r'Ver it breaks into four distinct falls, and the largest, called the Rapah, has drop of more than 800 feet before it touches a rock. Straight from an overhanging ledge it leaps into the chasm in a gigantic spout so far from the preipice that the sun shines in between and the s, adow of the water may be seen on the rock at some distance to the side of the fall, The pool beneath it is 132 feet deep.
 Like the flow of many rivers in India, that of the Sharavati river varies enormously during the wear. it is fed mainly by the southwest monsoon rains which last only for three months, June. July and August. During that period the maximum volume of water is 100000 times as great as the minimum flow, which occurs in April or May; the rainfall on the drainage basin amounts in some parts to more than 200 inches a year. most of which falls in the three months. The effect of the mon soon is to increase the volume of wate- to such an extent that it swirls over the precipice and thunders down
 into the abyss with such terrific force that the pool is like water in a gigantic boiling pot. The clouds that rise are so dense as completely 10 esclipse the view of the falls, and for months the water is yelled in mvs- tery, heard but not seen.-Youths $ Companion.
