ELGIAN PRESS HEAPS
ABUSE ON UNCLE SAM
CAMPAIGN OF VILLIFICATION
IN WAKE OF SETTLEMENT
OF WAR DEBT.

BRUSSELS.-A large number OF
Belgian newspapers are heaplng yio-
lent abuse on America for forcing Bel
GUM to fund her war debt.
In spite of all that the American
people did for Belgium during and at
ter the war there has not been sin
gle word OF appreciation for America S
help in any Belgian newspaper since
the funding question came up. But
today, for example, the Gazette says
America has decided to crush the Bel
gian people; the Frandre Liberale
saws America rs demanding her full
pound of flesh, and the Nation Beige
saws before the war Belgium was
devastated because she believed IN
Germany's word; after the war Bel
GUM is menaced with ruin because
She believed in Americas word"
This campaign of villihcation OF
America makes the blood of many
patriotic Americans in Belgium boil
especially in view of the generous set
Element given Belgium.
The plain facts of the case are that
Belgium has already reimbursed half
of the $o0,000,000 British postwar loan
and has been paying 81 per cent in
terest on the other half since 1921;
that Belgium fatty refused tos fund
her debt until the American govern
ment threatened to forbid the fota-
ton of a Belgian loan in New York
last autumn; that the Belgian govern
ment deliberately manipulated its
budget to deceive America this spring
that the Belgian preten5Ions about
Americas moral Obligations are most
ly pif1e, and that Belgium is very
prosperous with very low taxes.

UNCLE SAM UNABLE TO
FIND OWNERS OF 1898, zoo

The federal Department of Agri
culture has $238,26646 it doesn't
know what to do with. 1t belongs
to some sheep growers, but the de-
partment can't find out who they
are. In 1918 the War Industries
Board fixed the price of wool and
limited the profits of dealers, who
were required to turn back to the
government for distribution to the
growers all profits exceeding GER
tain sum.
The excess profits of that year
amounted to $1,4S9,S66, of which
S754,144 has been collected and, so
far as possible, turned over to the
growers 1t has been impossible to
obtain record of the owners of
the balance, and it has about been
decided to turn it into the miscella-
neous receipts of the treasury.

THE ESKIMOS ARE A
VANISHING RACE
NATIVES OF ARCTIC REGION
FALL BEFORE STARVATION
AND DISEASE.

The tale OF fast vanishing race is
being written in the Arctic today by
the grim hands OF starvation and dis
ease. What was once a thriving race
has now become clan lighting for
life. 1t is the race OF the Eskimo ship
ping from the face of the earth.
Today there are not more than
thousand Eskimo in Canada, lew
hundred in Alaska, and some scattered
tribes in the vicinity OF tn Boring Sea.
The Artic IS dotted with deserted
villages which were once the homes OF
these people.
Killing Off Own Babies.
A lack OF food for all Eskimos IS
the cause OF the trouble and desper-
ate measures are being taken as a re-
suit. -Four out of every five Eskimo
babies are killed at birth so that there
will be fewer mouths to fill. In some
tribes. il is reported, even the aged
or sick Eskimos are being killed on

food from the "outside" world.
Diseases Take Toll.
Diseases, too. are taking huge toll
among the Eskimo tribes. The average
life OF an Eskimo is about 50 years
but few reach that age.
Eskimos seldom battle or change
their clothes, and whole families hud-
die into cramped igloos and dirty SKIN
tents, with no means OF ventilation
Tuberculosis thrives The sick are not
isolated from the well, so often there
are disastrous epidemics.

of the surviving Eskimos live in Cana

PRISONERS DINE
IN THREE RELAYS
BOOTLEGGERS, COUNTERFEIT
ERS AND GRAFTERS JAM AT
LANTA. 5000 INMATES.

The company of notables enjoying
Uncle Sans hospitality at the federal
prison at Atlanta has reached such
proportions that they now have to
dine in three relays, writes Willard
Ferguson in the Savannah News.
The hotel-which more than once
has found its way into the public eye
because OF the generous hospitality
melted out to especially notable guests
now has more than 5000 registra-
tons.
The first group Of guests begins
dinner at 3 o'clock, and from then on
until after the more fashionable hour
of the dining hall doesn't get a mo-
ments rest.
What to do with these guests at At
lanta when they check out" is a
problem that has worried the govern
ment for some time. The problem now
has been solved with respect to large
number. Deportation papers for al
prisoners whose terms are approach
ing an end have just been received.
Among those who are to receive
free ocean voyages in addition to gov
ernmental hospitality are two OF the
most widely-known igures in a no.
table gathering OF convicts. They are
George Remus, millionaire bootlegger
of Cincinnati, and Marcus Carney,
self-styled president general OF the re
public of Africa" which he built up
in his own brain. The offense that
brought Garvey to Atlanta was using
the mails to defraud his fellow ne
groes.
Garvey, who halls from the West
Indies and who leaves prison in DC
tober, has little ground for an appeal
but his supporters in New York and
other cities have started movement
to have his criminal record wiped out
and obtain him the privilege OF re-
turning to America.
The others of 141 prisoners for
which deportation papers are waiting
are for the most part counterteiters
and bootleggers. A check-up at the
prison recently showed that 81 per
cent of the counterfeiters behind the
bars were foreigners. The bootlegging
profession did not rate quite so high,
but the number of foreigners in this
group is said to be large.
One of the notables which Uncle
Sam cannot deport when he quits At
lanta is Warren T. McCray, former
governor of Indiana, convicted of us
ing the mails to defraud investors
McCrary stands out as the leader OF
the entire assemblage. He edits the
prison paper, teaches in Sunday school
and is spokesman for the men, The
prisoners are all pulling for him to
win the pardon for which he has APP
piled to President Coolidge. He is the
hero of a story by Booth Harrington,
now movieized, and which is to be
shown at the prison shortly. 1t is call
ed THE Man Who Found Himself.
Among other notables at the prison
is the blind H. O. fitzpatrick, former
state treasurer OF Connecticut. When
he was faced with conviction for mis-
use of state funds he attempted sui
eide, losing the sight OF both eyes
Despite the fact he is one of the most
cheerful men in the prison. He attrib-
utes his happiness TO the religion he
recently adopted-Christian Science.

pared with prospects MONTH ago.
Complete Failure in a Large Num-

Another -million-bale cotton
crop for the state is forecast by the
Georgia COOPERATIVE Crop Reporting
service in a report for August
This means heavy decrease in the
Georgia yield as based on condition
figures OF this date and a month ago.
On July 10 Georgia's crop condition
was "a per cent of normal. On Aug
ust IS the crop condition had dropped
to Oh per cent with a corresponding
shrinkage in actual yield.
Will Offset Increase.
A general comparison of probable
production this season with final pro-
duction last season indicates that the
southern half OF the state will make
approximately rs per cent more cot
ton, and that extremely poor prospects
in the drouth-stricken Piedmont area
will completely offset this Increase
placing probable production for the
state at approximately last years fig
ure, in spite OF the IS per cent increase
in acreage for 1925.
The drought remains unbroken in
the northern half of the state, the re-
port shows, except for inadequate To-
cal showers, and further deterioration
has taken place during the period. The
outlook is very poor, indeed, in many
north-central and northwestern coun-
ties, where plants have made unsatis-
factory growth from the beginning of
the season; fruiting has been check
ed, shedding has been heavy and bolls
are small and opening prematurely.
Northern Georgia (the Piedmont sec
tom will make considerably less cot
ton than was produced last year, in
spite OF a considerable increase in
acreage. Although spotted, a better
condition prevails in the northwestern
area. Picking is becoming general
over northern Georgia.
South Georgia Crop.
In southern Georgia the condition
OF the crop has changed very little
since August LIST, and a good crop can
be considered safe over most OF the
coastal plain territory. Total produc-
ton in this area will greatly exceed
that OF either 1924 or 1923. Picking
will be completed much earlier than
in several years. Gins are now running
full time in central and southern
Georgia.
The forecast is based on condition
of 81 per cent, it is said, and an in
dicated yield of about 1874 pounds OF
lint cotton per acre.

State Official Scores Child Labor;
North Carolina Ignores Workers

Raleigh, N. C.-Strong recommen-
dation for child labor legislation is
made by M. l.. Shipman, commission
er of the state department of labor
and printing, in his annual report.
Last August the North Carolina
state Legislature almost unanimously
rejected the federal child labor amend
ment. The North Carolina cotton
manufacturers association has taken
the same position.
''The vigorous and rapid growth Of
industry in the state of North Caro-
lima is too we'll known to require
comment" said Commissioner Ship
man. ''In startling contrast to this
industrial development is the back
ward state of legislation in behalf Of
the workers who are its basic necess-
ity.
"The employment of children at
such an age and to such an extent as
to interfere with their physical and
mental development is bad business
and bad morals. Thirty-three states
have enacted laws requiring work
days for children in industry shorter
than that fixed by statute in North
Carolina, and the laws Of practically
all other industrial states prohibit
night work for women. There is in
this connection a responsibility de-
volved upon the legislature which has
not yet been fully met. The future
Newark leader. ([Newark, Ohio]) 1917-1946, 1925-01-02

of the state demands better protec-
tion for both the children and the
women employed in its industries, and
legislation to this end is strongly
recommended"
The report calls for cat least be-
ginning" in the application of the
eight-hour day for the more hazard
Gus and wearing occupations.
"Nolth Carolina is one Of but six
states Of the union lacking a law
providing for the compensation of in
dustlial injuries. The old rule Of
common law, that places on the en-
ploye the burden of the trade risk,
for the creation of which he is not
and can not be primarily responsible,
has been set aside in AZ states and
practically every foreign country. It's
injustice condemns it, and its short
sighted economic policy is a war with
both humanitarian and business
standards.
"The crippled men or bereaved and
orphaned households are a reproach
and burden to the community which
fails to make provision for their well
fare. Their misfortune befalls in the
attempt to serve the community
through industry; the cost Of their
care is a just charge on the indus
try, without the pickering and con-
flict and Wastefulness Of a suit at
law"

Strike Threat Causes
Railroad to Settle

San Francisco-As a result of a
strike declaration by 96 per cent Of
it's engineers, the Southern Pacific
railroad has raised wages of these
workers $500,000 a year, dating back
to September 1. When the vote was
being taken, the chairman Of the rail
roads executive committee carelessly
waived it aside with the statement
that the brotherhood "leaders" were
compelling the men to vote, that they
might have a club to force the Howell
Barkley bill through congress. When
the strike vote was announced, rail
road officials began to talk sense.
Simultaneous with the wage in
crease announcement, the Southern
Pacific stated that in the last ten
months all records have been smashed
for train operation. Train loads were
increased, percentage of locomotives
to trains were cut down and the loco
motive load raised.

Ohio Is Leader in
Gas Conservation

Columbus, O.-Ohio leads all other
states in the conservation of natural
gas for domestic uses.
This is disclosed in figure just is
sued by the u. S. Department of the
Interior covering the production and
conumption of natural gas in the
United States for the year of 1923.
These figures show:
That Ohio householders used 91,-
100000 cubic feet Of natural gas
last year, while the domestic consum-
ers in the next closest State-Pennsyl-
vania-used only 58,968, 100000.
That Ohio is far in the lead of all
other states in the number Of users Of
natural gas, having ,023, ,730 consum-
ers out of total of 3,233, 800 in the
entire country, with the second state,
Pennsylvania, having 548,440 users.
According to the United States Geo
logical Survey, Ohio last year produc-
ed 53,812,000, 900 cubic feet of natural
gas, while it consumed 120,920,0OO,
cubic feet
Ohio, too, has the distinction of hav-
ing received more natural gas into
Ulo SIdle from OCnef states lndn any
other state in the Union, the amount
last year being 70,77O,0O0,OOO.
"All records were broken in the
natural gas industry in the United
States in 1929" says the Geological
Survey Of the u. S. Department Of
the Interior, "by the consumption Of
1,008, 1876, 100000 cubic feet. This
quantity is 32 per cent more than that
consumed in 1922 and 26 per cent
more than that consumed in 1920,
when the previous high record Of con-
sumption was attained"
How Ohio is conserving natural gas
for the benefit Of domestic consumers
is strongly evidenced by the fact that
while domestic consumers in Ohio
used by far more Of this fuel than
the consumers in any other state, the
industrial consumption in Ohio was
less than that in Pennsylvania, Louis
lana, Oklahoma, West Virginia, Cali
fornia, Texas and Wyoming

In Case of Ptomaine Poisoning.

This form of poisoning is caused by
eating decayed meats, fish, vegetables,
contaminated canned foods, etc. The
symptoms of the condition are nausea,
vomiting, cOlicky pains, diarrhoea, and
areat exhaustion. The treatment is
always to produce vomiting to sweep
the offending substance out Of the
stomach. Drink one glass of luke
warm water after another as rapidly
as possible until six OF eight have
been taken. In a few minutes all the
poisonous material will be vomited.
Then take tablespoonful Of castor oil
or three tablespoonfuls of EPSON salts
dissolved in a glass of water. Also
Rive an enema of warm soap suds.
Keep the patient warm by external
heat from hot water bottles or warm
Aannsls.
