Soviets to Fight Disease
Campaign Is Carried on Among Primitive Races
(United Press)
Moscow, Jan. 12.—The Soviet government is carrying on a vigorous health and educational campaign among the two hundred thousand primitive people who inhabit the vast ice-bound forest and marsh regions which stretch from the White Sea to the Kandakh of Kandakh, in eastern Siberia.
Like many primitive races these far northern tribes are very susceptible to smallpox, which spreads with syphilis, which spreads very fast because of the native habits of eating from one pet and drinking from one snake. They are trachoma, which often leads to complete blindness, are also common among the tribes. Alcohol has a very bad effect on them, just as it had on the American settlers.
FOUR PAGES
The all-union Soviet executive committee has created a special "Far Northern Committee" to look after the needs of the Tongues Oriats, Samurowys (cannibals), and other tribes which live in this territory.
The far northern committee has also worked out a plan of setting up "cultural bases" all over the territory. Each of them has a staff of fifteen social workers, including a teacher, a doctor, a veterinary, an expert in co-operation, etc. Schools are being built in the far north region and a number of other towns. These stores will also provide the natives with other commodities.
British Amateur Finds Eleventh Comet of Year
Malawi Survey
Cambridge, Mass., Jan. 12—The eleventh comet of the year has just been picked up by G. E. Enos an amateur astronomer at the Cape of Good Hope, where a southern branch of the British Royal Observatory is maintained. It is now in the constellation of Reticulum, the neighbor of moving northern stars and the neighboring region of Horologium, the clock recording to Dr. Harlow Shapley, director of the Harvard Observatory.
With 11 comets discovered since Jan. 1, some of which were new while others were old friends returning for one of their periodic visits, 1920 will probably go down in history for the most part because they are comets. All found so far this year, with the exception of the new one, have been observed by many astronomers and their orbits have been accurately computed. Other southern observatories will undo observations on a visitor, and observations at their position at three different times is found, its path can be calculated.
K. U. Debaters May Meet Australian Team in April

The Australian team is planning a tour of the United States, and Professor Bucher is hopeful that the University will offer its itinerary. "There are good prospects for the debate," he said this morning.
The debate will probably be a re-education affair, and will be conducted on the same general plans of the Oxford debate last year. Professor Beuhler is now in correspondence with the manager of the Australian team.

Arbitration Fails to Settle Strike of Mine Workers
Conference Cannot Reach Decision; Closes Today After Prolonged
(United Press)
New York, Jan. 12.—The conference which has been in session for three weeks and which attempted a settlement of the strike of the anarchist coal miners, adjourned soon after noon today.
Arbitration was the main obstacle to an agreement. The operators demanded arbitration of wages and the miners refused to keep it out. On adjournment, J. L. Lewis, president of the United Mine Workers, issued a statement blaming the operators for the failure to meet for the adjournment of the conference.
The break came after the split of yesterday's session at which the coal operators had made them they called their final offer of settlement, and the rejection by the miners with a sharp statement in which they blamed the operators for any break which might follow.
The mine owners quickly followed Lewis' statement with one of their own in which they passed back the responsibility to the miners. The
Mine Owners Make Statement
operators professed not to have any plans for any future action in the strike, but just expected to "sit tight."
One informed source told the United Press that he "did not believe that the idea of reopening mines without a settlement of the strike would occur to a single operator."
Men Will Not Go Back
This man pointed out the mine workers' strong front, apparently unbroken, and stated that there were personally "not more than one hundred men who would return to work if an attempt was made to open the mines."
Harrisonburg, Jan. 12—Governor Finchot was expected to supplement a call to the Pennsylvania legislature when it meets tomorrow, as a result of the break-up of the coal conference in New York today.
The adjournment of the conference it is considered here, places the burden of the solution of the coal stimulation upon the state government.
To meet this obligation, the governor is centrifuging the supplement which he will recommend as a means of improving the situation.
River Problem Discussed

Seattle, Jan. 12.—The University of Washington is to be an international center of the United States and Canadian fisheries research work on the Pacific coast, the Atlantic coast, and the John N. Cobb, of the College of Fisheries. The International Fisheries commission, composed of official state fisheries commissions of Pacific coast states Alaska, Hawaii, and with the entire Canadian departement of fisheries, will consolidate all work here.

Professor Davison was well informed on the processes by which the Missouri river will be improved and navigation developed. His talk was illustrated with appropriate alternate slides. He brought out the fact that mountains are formed on this river as a navigable waterway, the subject should be one of vital interest to every one in this part of the United States. The head of directors of the Chamber of Commerce reorganized Wednesday, Jan. 6, by electing new officers, P. A. Dinnomar was elected president; W. L. Newman, first vice president; W. C.

Experiments in Mathematics Give Individual Rating for Students
The bureau of school service is conducting a series of practical experiments and tests in mathematics in the junior and senior high schools of the surrounding towns for the purpose of finding new methods of procedure and presentation of subjects. Bonner Springs, Tonganoxia Larnwood, Oksakeba and Perry are some of the towns, according to F. P. Briden, professor of education.
The experiment consists of a series of eight or ten tests including fundamentals, mental group tests. The results are tabulated in the book and returned to the schools. This gives both the instructor and the pupils an idea of what grade of individual is being done and also an individual record for every pupil. Thus the instructor able to determine whether effort and enables him to help the individual who needs it the most.
Professor OBrien makes a tour t all the schools about every two weeks to ascertain how the tests are progressing. These tests are not come to mind, but we know where it is desired. The in tests conducted last year in English, one chart shows that in one class in composition a marked improvement in five months which by the old method could not be obtained in less than two years.
All of the work is done by the bureau and the teachers assist in giving the tests and if the teacher wishes to make problems in all phases of mathematics may be obtained from the publisher. The results will be printed and the methods will be available to any high school or college experiment have been completed.
The reaction has been very desirable as it creates a competitive interest between the classes and they enter the sport. If they would in some sense of athleticness.

England Promotes Land Movement for Entire Empire
Scheme for Reforestation to Be a Major Part of New British
Project
---
London, Jan. 12 — One of the greatest "back-to-the-land" movements the world has ever seen is gathering momentum in England.
Involved in the plan is not only Libod Georges's vast scheme for the rehabilitation of agricultural England which would in effect distribute the vast landed estates of small farmers, but also a concentrated drive that Canada, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa are about to inaugurate to place several thousand Englishmen yearly in agricultural pursuits in the
Preforestation Planned
In addition Great Britain has drawn up a program for the reforestation of England that calls for the planting of 250,000 acres of wetland during the next ten years with more than four hundred and fifty million trees.
But it is Canada which is first in the field to take advantage of the newly awakened interest in agricultural tourism. The new Immigration for Canada is already on the scene in England and is now engaged in gathering about him a staff of 500 lecturers and agricultural demonstrators, to help England painting the allurements of Canadian agricultural life and exhorging all who are discontented with their prospects in England to immigrate to the farming districts of Canada.
Schools to Be Established
For those who are willing to start in as farm laborers, the only requirement is sufficient capital to purchase their passage and maintain themselves for a reasonable time in Canada while they are awaiting placement on farms. Meanwhile the Canadian immigration director and his staff will operate "farming schools" at the University of England in which the candidates for immigration can be trained in the rudiments of routine farm work.
Australia Makes Plans
Not to be much outdone by Canada,
Australia is laying plans for a ten year immigration campaign which it is hoped will get 470,000 immigrants before 1955.
New Zealand on its hand has "counts" out looking for settlers of the right type to try their hand at fortification making under Southern skies, and South Africa, is also working out a plan to capture would-be farmers, on a scheme that involves newcomers in blocks of 109 acres each,训农民 the farmers, and guarantee them against loss for a period of time.

Great Interest Is Being Shown Among Doctors and Public in This Work
Medical Society Reads Report of Dr. W.E.Gye's Cancer Experiments
Baltimore, Maryland State College
Baltimore, Maryland State College
from Dr. W. E. Gye, of London,
whose experiments are attracting
great interest among doctors and the
public was read at a conference
by the Medical Society just held. The message indicated tests, which led to starting
reports of a cancer micro-organism
being seen and cultivated, nite being
to confirm or discover the results.
The cable was read by Dr. George A. Soper, managing director of the American Society for the Control of Cancer, and was a reply to his better asking Gye and Barnard whether their experiments are being carried out.
Dr. Super, who spent three months in Europe recently, investing cancer research work, stressed the point that such difficult work of Gye and Barnard, and the use of lead infections in treatment of cancer, as reported by Dr. Blair Bell, of Liverpool, must be skilled by men at least equal skilled
"The technique of Gys and Barnard is so refined and so delicate that not many scientists in the world are aware of it. There are "permeated," and Doctor Soper, "the best of cancer investigations are sailing on uncharted seas, and errors have been made."
"How nature overcomes the will cells of a cancer that grows spontaneously in a human being has not been studied because of the rarity of the phenomenon. But Doctor Wong tom described studies that are being made on rates with transplanted trombs in which the type of tumor that can be overcome by the body is compared with the tumor that flares."
A study of 7,000 rat cates shows that on about the tenth day the tau-tor takes a turn that decides whether it is to continue to grow vigorously or to succumb to immunization by the normal body cells.
Stock Diseases Studied
Ultra-Microscope Used to Make Investigations
Washington, Jan. 11. Ultra-micro-囊状 forms of life, minute as those which cause smallpox, *scarlet fever*, sleeping sickness, and other diseases in human beings, are responsible for many of the diseases that survive in susceptible loss each year to farmers of every country.
Dr. Robert Bunyan, avid pathologist of the U. S. Department of Agriculture, reported to the Washington branch headquarters on the work that has been done in the control and eradication of these diseases in the United States and other countries. Rubies, foot-and-mouth disease, hog cholera, and leprosy have been said, outstanding examples.
The ultra-microscope, which uses X rays instead of ordinary light, and can see what the ordinary microscope fails to reveal, has already been employed in the study of the minute forms of life that cause various animal diseases. So far the results have been only secondary. This sort has just begun, and the possibilities are unlimited. Doctor Bunya said.
Denver University debaters have been challenged by 23 different colleges and universities, in 15 states.
