Features Problems of You
Men and Women in Special
Program This Afternoon.
Stockholm, July 25 ? Plans to;
coordinating the efforts of the Bap
tist young people of the world In!
such a manner as will afford them
an opportunity to make an irapaci
upon the social, political, economic
and industrial problems as well as
the religious life of the world were
considered at a special conference ol
representatives of the young peo
ple's work , in various lands In con
nection with the Baptist World Al
liance here this afternoon, this con
ference being the feature of the
afternoon program. Dr. Arthur
Dakin of London was chairman of
the conference while the conference
speaker was Dr. James Asa White of
Chicago, general secretary of the ]
Baptist Young People's Union of
America.
There are 11.566.434 members of
Baptist churches in the world today.
Dr. White reported, and of this num
ber 8,349,431 reside in the United
States of America. A considerable |
proportion of the Baptists of the
world are young people, the speaker
said, and the object of the confer
ence was declared to be the consid
eration of the advisability of pro-1
jecting some kind of world organiza-1
Hon that would embrace all these
young people.
Work among the young people has
grown at a marvelous rate in recent 1
years in those sections of the world I
where there Is an adequate direction |
and an abundant supply of organiza- j
tion materials. Dr. White said, while
in other sections there is need of j
organization material of the mostJ
elementary kind. One of the pur-1
poses of a world organization would
be to assist ih?s ne?*dy areas in sup
plying leadership and materials.
The unsettled state of mind that
has prevailed since the world war
has made young people, along witn
others, subject to all sorts of pro
paganda. many of them calculated
to draw young people away from per
sonal reljgion and church loyalty,
the speaker pointed out. He urged
that the Baptist young people of the
world be enlisted in personal evan
gelism. In education, in the princi
ples and practice of Christian stew
ardship and in expressional activity.
Great streajns of energy are going to
waste because tliey are outside the
churches or are misdirected, it was
said. Young people will promote
the best things in life if they are
reached with the right ideals and
properly enlisted. It was declared.

funds.

Air Routes Will
Cover the World
Says Director Williamson of ro?tal!
Service of the BrltMa Ciov
ernment
London. July 25.?A most inter-1
esting and instructive paper was read |
before the International Air Cong
ress. recently in session in London,1
by Brigadier-General F. H. William- j
son. director of postal services of the j
British government.
General Williamson predicted that j
the United States. Canada, the West !
{Indies and other parts of the North
merican Continent would soon be
Inked up by air with Great Britain,
onnecting air lines would also run
Egypt. India, the Straits Settlem
ents. Australia. New Zealand, and I
fries. "It is not rash to predict," i
Id he, "that the next generation
ill see Its railways and Its steam
ip* supplemented by a complete i
stem of communication by air."
General Williamson said the Cai- i
Bagdad air mall service, now in |
ration, saved 20 days over the
land route which ran via Bom
bay. Karachi and the Persian Gulf,
e mail planes covered the 850
lies in a single day.
Discussing the future of mail
transport by air, the speaker said
that the conveyance of the whole of
the mails by air was an unlikely de
velopment unless and until there is
a very marked change in the cost
of air transport, and in the finan
cial limitations under which postal i
services are compelled to work, lim- !
Itations which require some sort of j
proportion between the postage j
charged and the cost of transport. I
"Moreover," the General added, |
"an essential condition of mail aer- .
vice is regularity under all condl-1
tions, in all weathers, and at all j
times of the year. It is commonly i
assumed that if a method of tranb
porting mails can be devised which
1> considerably more rapid, even if |
more expensive, than anything al
ready in existence, there is an lih
mediate public demand that it be
used for the carriage of mails. There
is, of course, some truth in this; but
the experience of the post office in
dicates that the Importance attach
ied to the mere speed of mail com- !
municatlon can easily be exaggecairj
ed.
"It Is profrabla, therefore, that for
a long time to come air mails must
be limited to urgent correspondence
Ion which a special fee is charged,
land that such correspondence will
only be a relatively small fraction
of the total mail. The actual vol
ume of air mall carried will depend
on three factors, regularity, gain la
i time, and cost of conveyance; that
i is, exactly the same conditions as
those on which the development of
passenger and goods traffic will de
pend, and to which the technical de
velopment of commercial aviation
must be directed."

Vienna, July 25.?Austrian gov
ernment employees, fighting to gain
payment for their labors sufficient
to maintain their families, hare pre
sented their case in a novel way.
Instead of relat4og_that in the old
days they coul<T"lHiy- for five crowns
what now coats them 50,000 they
have used minutes of labor as a ;
measuring unit, and-tfroduced an in

In 1914 a loaf of bread cost 12 Vi 1
minutes of labor; today the cost is |
49 minutes. A measure of sugar
that costs 26 minutes nine years
ago. now calls for 102 minutes.
Coal has risen from 1 hour and IS

COWS THAT DOPE
TO BE ARRESTED
Helena. Mont.. July 25.?A cow.
or any other animal, which becomes
addicted to the narcotic ha>blt <n
Montana, may he arrested and con
fined in the state sanitarium until j
pronounced cured by the physicians
in charge, according to a new state i
law.
The new law, legislators say, Is
the result of a clerical ernor made in j
the closing days of the iessloo. An
amendmend Intended to strengthen (
the antl-anrcotic law, was tacked on- j
to the law providing for the con
demnation of stock driven insane by
the eating of the loco weed.
