FOREIGN MISSIONS CALLS FOR MANY
Services of Men and Women is all Vocations Needed for World Reconstruction
Opportunity in world reconstruction is the keynote of the call which comes from the Student Volunteer Movement for Foreign Missions thus
Between three and four thousand men and women are needed for work in foreign fields, and these form almost every conceivable vocation. Social service workers, doctors, nurses, accountants, teachers, pharmacists, acquainturists, and engineers are among those called for.
Those who heard the reports of ou delegates to the Student Volunteer Convention at Des Moines, know something of the significance of this movement. Not only churchmen, but statesmen and business men realizat that, "the need of the hour is not more legislation but more religion." In the words of Robert P. Wilder general secretary of the Student Volunteer Movement,"Men and women in our colleges are urged to consider the opportunities for service abroad not merely on the ground of philan
not merely means to an end. They are in themselves worthy ends." seeeem:nf...s'om?thefl
Students are urged to ciseze these opportunities for service abroad because by so doing they can assist the work of social reconstruction on a world scale and can furnish guarantees for a League of Nations by improving international relations and promoting world peace.
Uniform Copyright Laws Urged for all Countries
Washington, Jan. 21. (United Press.) - Establishment of a system if laws whereby copyrights on trade marks will be recognized in all countries in North and South America, will be advocated here today at the Second Pan American Financial Conference.

At present five Latin American nations—Brazil, Uruguay, Paraguay, Ecuador and Bolivia—have ratified the convention to make ratification effort. Peru has indicated its willingness to ratify but Argentine has proved the stumbling block. It is hoped to induce its deligates here to bring pressure to secure Argentina's approval.

Bliss recently returned from Paris, also sees the danger of a removal of large scale warfare if the Bolshevik break through Poland advocating aid to the Poles.
In their plans the Red leaders are believed to be counting on "tired of war" spirit in England and other allied countries which will prevent the people from heartily supporting their troops in fighting the Bolivar-viki.

So he went and sat in a train, trusting to luck to escape.
Very soon some Bolhwevis approached the carriage and spoke to him, but he made signs that he did not understand. They went away and brought back some high officials and he was interrogated again.

At the next station he opened the window and found that the notice read:
"This compartment is reserved for Count Buzzoff."

with the State Board of Health and works in cooperation with it. Four branches of work are carried on by this department. It must examine and approve all plans for new waterwork systems such as new drainage state, or all additions to water systems, and all sewer disposal plants.
It examines the water supply of all cities over the state, if the supply comes from a creek, the water is examined once a week, but if well water is the source of supply, the water is examined only twice a year.
It also examines, twice a year, all bottled water and all water used for drinking purposes on trains. It examines all ice, both natural and manufactured once a year. If the ice is not in a factory, a license for its sale is issued.
It tests all water purifiers and inspects all water plants and sewage disposal plants over the state, twice a year.
The water supply of about 694 cities has been tested in this same length of time.
About twenty five permits for water plants have been issued by the State Board of Health, after recommen- dation to the department here, since July 1910.
"Very few investigations have provided unsatisfactory, and few permits or licenses have been refused," said the State Board of Health, an officer of the State Board of Health.

"We are at work on a new publication taking up the oil and gas resources of the state" said Prof. Moore "because the general report on oil and gas of Kansas, which was published in 1918 is in such wide demand all over the country that the supply has long since been exhausted."
An oil and gas survey of several outties has been made and arrangements have been made to conduct the publication of a general report
