SING FOR JOY:—Behold ray serv ants shall sing for joy of heart.—lsaiah or. : 14. FEWER (HlLpjiEN DYING IN .STATE. According to figures made public by the State Health Department North Car olina is a safer State to be born in she was several years ago. The general’ health not only are bptter. but health work anion# children mud increasedl to such * au f extent that there are fewer deaths araopg children than there were a few years ago. The University News Letter Buds that the chance of living through the first year following birth in 1021 was 2." per cent, better than in tOli. pointiug out that in |Ol7 out of every 1,000 children born. 100 died during the first twelve months. In 1010 the mortality rate was eighty four. while in 1021 it had been reduced to seventy-five. Both races, it. is point ed out, have shown marked decreases in infant mortality. According to the latest statistics the mortality rate for white babies under one year of age has decreased from eighty five per one thousanod births in 1917 to sixt.v-six in 1021. The mortality rate for negro infants under one year of age lias decreased from one hundred thirty three to ninety-live tier one thousand births. These figures show that North Carolina's,infant death rate is now con siderably lower than the average for tho United Slates, for both races. We agree with the News Letter in tho opinion that "this large reduction in infant mortality rates for both races is due to the splendid work of our State and county lieadttl department, unsurpassed in the United States. It is teaching our people the principles of sanitation and how to prevent sickness. It is reducing our death rate and preventing an untold amount of sickness and suffering." That our State and county health de partments are very efficient is evidenced by the fact that other States and for eigb countries have sent delegations here to study our methods. The News Letter pointing out that a “delegation of emi nent doctors representing several coun tries belonging to the League of Nations is uow in North Carolina making an ex tensive study of her State and county health work. All praise to our health of ficers aud tlieir health service." GIVING FACTCS. William H. Richardson, private secre tary to Governor Morrison, has just pre pared a splendid iUvist rated article on "How North Carolina Educates Her Ne groes.” The article appeared in last Sunday's New York World and should prove very interesting to the public. In his article Mr. Richardson says that North Carolina is spending nearly four million dollars a year to educate •the negro and that its stand for negro j education puts Ibe State "in a class to itself." Mr. Richardson states that be believes tbe fact that the State is doing so much for tlic negro is oue reason why so few negroes have left the State. The article gives the facts in a very forceful and truthful mauner and they should do much to give the people of the north a true insight into conditions in North Carolina as they affect the ne gro. Northern (ample have an idea that * nil negroes are mistreated in the South, while as a matter of fact as much is doue for them in North Carolina as in any ?tker State. While it is true that North Carolina leads the. rest of the South in negro educational work, it is nevertheless a fact thgt all Southern treaty* the problem that eon firi#-them, MI aye IRjwiwop* to cive the negro an education. children do not attend the name pcbools as white children in the South- to be sure, but that does not mean they are mistreated, educationally speak ing. |t ia just as practical to teach the negro in a school for negroes as to teach him in a mixed school. In fact it is more practical, and the educational advantages offered the average colored youth in North Carolina rank favorably with the adavantages offered tbe colored youth iu any other State. POWER CITS OFF TEXTILE PLANTS Factories in Eight South Carolina Counties Idle For One Day. Low Water Cause. Charlotte, Oct. 22.—Industrial p'.auts in eight South Carolina counties operat ed by power supplied by the Southern Power company were idle today, the power company’s program of curtail ment of service necessitated by lack of rain in the mountains of western North Carolina having become effective at 6 o'clock this morning. The plants suspended are in Lan caster, Chester. Newberry, Greenwood. Anderson, Greenville, Pickens and Oconee counties, an announcement by tlie (lower company said. The program of curtailment provides that plants in each of several zones in the Carolinas will lie idle oue day each week for an indefinite period. Lack of water in'the, streams orig inating in western North Carolina and a subsequent excessive drawing upon the water reserves of the power com pany at Bridgewater necessitated the curtailment. Rains in this state last we k failed to appreciably relieve the condition, liich (tower company official declared to be the • most severe iu tbe company’s history, though a similar program of curtailment became neces sary last year. Daylight Sating Harms Children. New York World. Daylight saving bus proved harmful to the health of New York's children, because it makes it impossible for them to obtain pro(>er rest and relaxation during the season when it is needed most. This declaration by Dr. E. Willis Kohier of the Department of Health tvas induced by an examination of 000 children in schools maintained in poorer sections of the city by Ihc Chil dren's Aid Society in an effort to es tablish the causes of illness aud under nourishment. "jinny parents whom l interviewed told me it was impossib'e To get their children to bnl before dark. The chil dren feel they should lie on the street while it is yet daylight, thus keeping them unduly active and preventing normal relaxation, which should pre cede bedtime." said Dr. Kohler. France Places World War Cripples at 10,745.000. The French government estimates that the number of sripples who were victims of the World War and still survive is ;something more than 10,000.000.

New York World. A linwker in Fulton Street yesterday afternoon did a brisk business in 100,- 000-mark notes at five cents each. Saturday the Mark was quoted at 17.000.00(1.000 to the dollar. The mark is. therefore, worth 5.500 times as much as curiosity in New York as it is in Germany as a medium of exchange. German printing (nesses last week turned out more than eighteen quad rillions of marks, making the total issue run over forty-six quardriltions. Tin* price of bread tomorrow will bo 2.500.000 000 marks. The entire paper out put. invested in bread at tins rate, would buy less than 18.000.000 loaves, or al little more than a quarter of a loaf for each German. To Print Photos of Dozen Pretty Girls.

CAtNUTH* So-in,, tael 1 GREAT AUDIENCE STIRRED TO i CAUSE OF CHRISTIAN EDUCATION I Dr. Plato Durrham Glodgpjly l o furled the Banner of Christian Schools. Wiuston-Salem Sentinel. “There is the first educational address I ever heard that ended in a revival,” declared Dr. Gilbert T. Rowe, of Nash ville, Tenn., last night as hundreds of men and women docked to the altar in Centenary Methodist Church to grasp the hand of Dr. Plato Durham, profes sor in Candler School of Theology, Em ory University, tat the close of an impas sioned idea for the promotion of educa tion that reflects the light of Jesus in the souls Os men and women. The oc casion was that of the anniversary of the Hoard of. Missions of the Western North Carolina Conference, M. E. Church, South, of which Dr. Roxve is president. The church was filled, audi torium aud galleries being packed to ca pacity. Dr. Durham held the close attention of this great aud.ieuCe as lie pleaded for education that emancipates from the darkness of ignorance and tho— terrible ness qf fear—education that lets in God's light and guides the soul of men into eternal happiness. The Christian colleges of the country. today were described as , God's light houses along the pathway of a darkened and "sinful world. Such institutions' scattered abroad through the land afford peace and security iu these times when the bulwarks of Christianity are being at tacked. declared Dr. Durham, as he paid a beautiful tribute to his alma mater, old Trinity Collyge at Durham. Dr. Durham spoke very feelingly, but with a spirit of pride, when lie referred to the noble work of such men as the late Governor Charles Aycock ami Bi shop John C. Kilgo. who labored untir ingly to build a great educational system for the state of North Carolina. lie told of being with the late governor on different occasions when he (dead from the very depth of his soul for the under privileged North Carolina child. The things for which Aycock fought aud died tyre being realized today in si manner far greater than was expected by Ibis great leader at this early stage of the state's history in educational progress, Methodist history was declared to be otic of the great torches that is lighting men along life's pathway, simply because it stands for the cuilding of the schol hottse along beside of the church. Speaking of emancipation through ed ucation, Dr. Durham declared that the banishment of ignorance and fear should be foremost purpose iu the cultivation of the mind.

It was made vary plain that the high est in education is to bring the person being educated into a realization »f tbe truth. The person wlio corned into possession of tlie truth as revealed by the light of Jesus’: face lias attained the highest in education. Christian educa tion was explained ns a discovery iof value. It reveals to man bis trite rela tion to his Creator and places him in a field of service for the cause of Jesus Christ. It shows man the real value of the soul and banishes selfishness in dealing with mankind. „ "It was at old Trinity where I found the light as it is reflected in. the face of Jesus, and as long ns T may live I will never forget the influence thrown ground me iu this institution," said Dr. Durham in speaking of his college days at this Methodist school. "Give all you can to these institutions which fly the white flag of Jesus, amt let us do homage to that mighty scholar who; said ‘The path to truth anil light runs dose to the cross of Golgotha’,” said Dr. Durham. "I had been told that in the paths of scientific light the feet of young men of Trinity Coolege lmd been lyWt to Jesus.” said I)r, Iltu-liaui. win** then related an experience., lie had at that institution some time ago in a revival meeting. Af ter preaching for a week the call was made one night for a complete surrender to Jesus and four hundred young men were on their feet in an instant, each one of this large number pledging al legians lo the Son of God. This inci dent was given as an illustration of the great work of the Methodist schools in the training of men for service in the Kingdom of God.

DINNER STORIES In the motion p'cture, “Robin Hood,” Lady Marian desires to send n message to the Karl of Huntington, and chooses little John to act as her messenger. She presents John with a scroll which is pro tected by wkjt seems to be a black case or tube. As she hnnded it over, a small boy in the audience asked his mother what it was. “That's a flashlight." she answered in a loud voice. “Don't show your ignorance, Mary,” snapped her husband. “They didn't have flashlights in those days. That's a thermos bottle,” ; i A negro called upon an old friend who received him in a rocking chair and con tinued to rock himself to and fro in a most curious way. “Yo‘ ain’t sick, is yo', Harrison?" asked the called anxiously. “Xo, 1 nn't sick, Mose.” said Harri son. ; There was a moment’s silence, dur ing which the caller gazed wide-eyed at the rocking figure. “Den.” continued Mose, “why does yo' rock yo'self da way all oe time'?"

"Very well. You arc engaged." she was informed, “but please don't demon strate your capabilities when my wife is around." A parliamentary candidate in a rural district made the following remark in the course of an address: "There is no question in tire world which I cannot answer with just ‘Yes' or ‘Xo'.“ An old farm laborer jumped up and said: "l’lease, maister. might I ask 'e a question?" “Certainly, my good follow.” said the candidate. “Well. then, maister.” said tin* old farmhand, ‘ what’s the time?” Telegraph.
