American Forest Week is being
sponsored by the American Forestry
Congress, the Fluted States Forest
Service and other organizations and j
services interested in forest- life.
President Coolidge has issued a proc- j
lamatiou designating American Forest
Week and recommending its observ

COOLIDGE SAYS
F. , BIBLE IS ’VITAL
Lack of Faith in Book WouM Threat
en Civilization, He Thinks.
Washington. April 3. —Declaring
that at times it appears “as though
a popular familiarity with the Scrip
tures is not as great as the present
time as it has been in the past in
American life,” President Coolidge, in
a letter made public today, said it
would be difficult to support the found
ations of Government and society if
faith in Bible teachings was last.
The letter was addressed to Eugene
E. Thompson, organizer of the Bible
class at the Church of the Epiphnany
here, who, with Dr. Z. B. Phillips,
pastor of the church, recently called
on Mr. Coolidge, explained the cam
paign of the class to create wide in
terest in the Scriptures and invited
him to attend the church’s services
today.
Mr. Coolidge’s letter declared that
the foundations of American society
and Government rest so much on the
teachings of the Bible that “it would
be difficult to support them if faith
in these teachings should cease to be
’practically universal in our country.

CHINA’S WARRIORS OF OLD.
Even Today the Bulk of the Army
Is Far Behind the Times.
Washington. D. C., April 4.—The
Chinese have not yet gone to war with
modern firearms and fought accord
ing to modern western methods. Even
in the war with Japan in 1804-95
they retained many of their antiquat
ed weapons and picturesque military
customs, though they employed mod
ern firearms to some extent.
When they fought the English to
stop the opium traffic their arms were
not dissimilar to those the English
had used 200 years before. Their bows I
and arrows were probably more effect
ive than their fire arms.
But their equipment was at least
picturesque. They carried banners
Mmm.
also huge umbrellas. Many of the
soldiers had colored pennants attach
ed to their persons. Their shields
were also painted with glaring things.
They went into battle with a tremen
dous beating of gongs and agitation of
the dragons and umbrellas.
They attempted to bar one of their
river* with a make-believe steamer,
having a funnel and smoke, but no en
gines. A huge fort also was armed
with wooden cannon of tremendous
calibre, which could not, of course, be
fired.
The stink-pot was a very effective
missile. It was an earthenware ves
sel containing sulphur and foul-smell
ing substance*. It was very effective
against wooden ships. It was, in a
•way. the forerunner of the poiaon gas
employed in the World War.
Within the past 25 years consid
erable bodies of troops have been
drilled and armed in European fash
ion, but even today the bulk of the
army is believed to be far behind the
times. Frequently foreign arms have
been put into the soldiers’ hand*,
without instruction as to their use.
In the remote interior the troops
still use suehweapons as the match
lock, gingals, bows arnj arrows, spears
and lance*.
The old war-junks composing the
imperial navy were invariably built
to represent some alarming animal.
The Centipede was the name of one
with three rows of oars, representing
the feet of that insect. The Hawk’s
Beak was made at each end like a
hawk’s beak. There were also wheel
ed vessels, which have been used in
China for .many centuries.
The men were usually supplied with
rattan shields painted with tigers’
heads. The heavy troops were cuir
asses of quilted cloth covered with
iron plates, and helmets of polished
steel.
The Manchu Tartars, men of the
race of the last reigning dynasty, were
for centuries the figures of the Chin
ese army. Certain of them, composing
the Tiger Guard, dressed in yellow—
the imperial color —striped in imita
tion of a tiger’s hide, and having ears
also to their caps. This cap was
made of split bamboo, capable of re
sisting a heavy blow. The shield,
also of bamboo, was painted with a
monstrous head, calculated to terrify
the enemy. Every fifth soldier had a
silk flag flying from a small staff at
tached to his back. This gave a very
gay appearance to the marching
troops.
Soldiering is merely a business with
the great mass of the Chinese troops
and as a general thing the individual
knows little of what he is fighting
for, and probably cares less. Yet
the Chinese have proved themselves
to be capable of great and sustained
bravery when fighting under eompe
, tent such as that of Gen
eral “Chinese” Gordon,

Urged Parents To Give Serum
For Diphtheria to Their Children
Tribune Bureau
Sir Walter Hotel.
Raleigh, April 4. —Although excel
lent progress is being made in the
state in the prevention of diptheria
| through the use of toxin-anti-toxin.
the situation is by no means under
j control, and parents of every child
\ under two years should have toxin
janti-toxhi administered at once —that
!is, within the next few weeks — l iu or< 1*
|to make them immune against dip
htheria next fall, according to I)r. G.
M. Cooper, director of the Educational
J Division, of the State Board of Health.
] “Right now. while there is little
or no diptheria. is the time to. im
munize children.” says Dr. Cooper,
“since the intervening summer months
] gives the serum time to thoroughly
< permeate the system, so that by fall,
when diptheria becames prevalent the
children will be entirely immunised.*’
However, excellent results have beep
I obtained this winter through the toX
in-anti-toxin treatments, administered
by the county and state health unit*
with serum supplied by the State
I Laboratory of Hygiene, and it is be
l lieved that the number of cases of,
j diptheria has been materially reduced ,
| as the result of these i
serum. In January, there were. 190 J
cases of diptheria reported in the state, j
and 36 deaths; in February, 123
cases and only 18 deaths. In March j
there were 125 cases, but the number ;
of deaths has not yet been reported, j
But in the month of February j
alone, 21,909 doses of toxin-anti-toxiu |
were distributed by the State j
tory of Hygiene, or enough of the |
serum to immunize 7,303 children, i
since the average is three doses to a J
held to produce immunization. This .
treatment has the further advantage j
of causing no reaction in the child, |
making it one of the least trouble
JONES’ DISAPPEARANCE
IS FINALLLY CLEARED UP
Glen Alpine Agent Says He Bought
Railroad Ticket There tor Char
lotte.
Asheville, April 2.—The curtain of
mystery surrounding the dramatic dis
appearance of Alex S. Jones, promi
nent A*heville heating contractor, was
lifted tonight when Captain Fred
Jones, of the city detectives, made
public proof that the missing man,
j for whom several hundred people have
been searching the vicinity of Lake
James for several days, had purehasM
a ticket to Charlotte after emerging
from the wood* and going to the'stn
-lko/4UJUen Alpine. J
Ift d been 'Used'
fort to bring the body of the missing
man to the *urface of the lake where
he was thought to have been drowned.
Now, it was revealed tonight, Mr.
Jones planned a highly dramatic and
exceedingly well prepared exit, going
to the lake, getting in a small boat,
sending to a nearby house his only
companion, and otherwise preparing
for secrecy in the isolated and dis-i;
mal little cove that ha* been searched
for. days for his body.
Rowing acro*s. the lake, aecoriling
to the story that the officers here have
pieced together, Mr. Jones beached
the boat, got ont, leaving a track in
the sand, shoved the boat back into
the water so that it floated a short
distance from the shore with the bars
carefully in place, and then disap
peared In the laurel thicket.
Emerging from the thickly wooded
section that surrounds the lake a great
distance from the scene where the
boat landed, the missing man walked
rapidly to Glen Alpine where he asked
for a ticket to Atlanta, Ga., and after
failure to get that, compromised with
a ticket to Charlotte.
Where Mr. Jones went after reach
ing Charlotte is not, of course, known,
as he might easily be there now. and
other than the fact that he asked for
a ticket to Atlanta first, nothing of
his plans is known.
Mr. Jones was positively identified
by the agent at Glen Alpine, Captain
Jones stated tonight, and he was seen
to emerge from the woods by two wit
nesses who recognized him from pic
tures.
No reason for hi* deliberate disap
pearance could bo ascertained tonight,
but it was clear, according to Captain
Jones, that the thing was accomplished
after much deliberation and planning.
It is understood that further steps
to trace him will be taken by the
members of the family here. Success
in tracing the movement of the miss
ing mar. on the day of hi* disappear
ance was largely due to the work of
his son-in-law, Benjamin Team, Cap
tain Jones stated.

some to administer, according to Dr.
t 'ooper.
“This excellent record for toxin
anti-toxin treatments in February rep
resents rapid progress in dealing with
Diptheria." said Dr. Cooper. “There
are more than 80,000 children born
in North Carolina each year, or an
average of nearly 12.000 children a
month. Thus we see that enough
toxin-nnti-toxin was sent out to im
munize, if used properly, about 60
per cent of all the children born in
the state during the month of Feb
ruary. ""
“As has been stated by the Board
of Health repeatedly, smallpox and
diptheria can very soon : be entirley
eliminated from the state except for
an occasional attack imported from
outside. It is very easy to vaccinate
a child against smallpox at about six
months of age. Just as soon as the
vaccination scar -heals, which should
be in from four to six weeks, the
child should be given toxin-aiiti-toxin
immediately, to prevent its contract
ing diptheria.
“By establishing such a routine in
, every doctor’s office, leading down to
.every family, requiring the health de-
J partments ,or where there are no or-,
.ganized departments, requiring the
j county physicians to administer the
■ treatment where families are finan
cially unable to have the treatment
I administered by regular .physicians,
|it would not be long before Lmmuiiiza
jtion against these two diseases would
j be almost 100 per cent perfect in the
j state.”
Dr. Cooper stated that he hoped to
i see the time, and in the near future,
j when there were as many dose* of the
, toxin-anti-toxin serum sent out. as
j there are births in the state each
j month, adding that if this is done,
the problem would soon be solved.
POPE SEES GAIN
IN CHINA’S CRISIS
Parallel to Chaos in Europe When
Christianity Came.
Rome, April 4, —The Pope sees the
struggle in China as a vast conflict
j between the old civilization and the
I new, the result of which may be a
slow Christianization of the whole
Orient, he told intimate friends in a
conversation today.
The .present situation in China is
almost exactly comparable to the
eta os in Europe when the old Roman
Empire broke up under the onslaught
of rlie barbarians, to make way for
Christianity, which swept the western
world. *
, k The Pope has watched the tragic
struggle in China with intense in
terest, often expressing his anxiety
for the safety of Catholic missionaries
and asking daily for information ou
the situation of the apostolic delega
tion at Pekin and the religious order
to which Catholic priests and mission
aries are attached.
Often in private conversation, the
Pope, drawing on his historical knowl
edge, has made a comparison between
today’s events in China and those in
Europe when the Roman Empire was
on the point of dissolution. Eighteen
centuries ago the same struggle was
lin force, with rival generals on all
sides leading troops in bitter inter
necine struggle, fighting for power.
I inflicting suffering on the people and
! devastating the soil,
i Today, the Pope feels, the situation
jis exactly analogous. Out of the death
pangs of the Roman breakup Chris
! tianity came to the Western world.
1 Out of the contemporary travail in
I China, he feels, must likewise come a
! great wave of Christianity sweeping
the East.
The Pope expressed definitely his
hope that the civilization which in
evitably must emerge from the pres
ent chaos will be actually indigenous
to the Chinese—limited as far as pos
sible to the Chinese themselves. His
Holiness is glad to remember his own
actions —such as appointing native
bishops—have been strictly in line
with this direction.
The Pope hopes that a new’ culture
will rise in China, no less illustrious
than the old. Concerning the details
of his ow r n personal day today interest
in the Chinese tragedy, the Pope is
happy to recall that he asked the
Benedictine missionaries in China —to
whom he confided care of the Catholic
University at Pekin —to remember the
deeds of their precursors in the Mid
dle Ages, when monks, 'by their loving
study and translation of old manu
scripts, saved to the world the bulk
of medieval and ancient culture.

SAYS WESTERN FARMERS
HAVE COTTON ADVANTAGE
George P. Roberson Says the Eastern
Farmers Find It Hard to Compete
With Western Fanners.
Greensboro, April 4.—C4*)—Fear
that farmers of the eastern section of
the cotton belt will not be able to
compete with those of the western
section of the belt in the production
of cotton was expressed by George
P. Roberson, president of the Atlantic
Cotton Association in his annual ad
dress before the convention today. Mr.
Roberson declared that he saw “very
little hope for the eastern farmer in re
spect to cotton so long as it was pos
sible for the western belt farmer with
what little cultivation is necessary in
that section with machinery—for the
man to raise and market 100 acres of
cotton against 10 or 15 acres in the i
east.”
The President mentioned that cot
ton was produced in Texas this sea
son for less than five cents per pound
of lint, and profits ran as high as
S9O per. acre while in the eastern sec
tion of the belt the “most important
cash crop” was produced at a loss.
“The only possible salvation of the
eastern farmer.” he declared, “is the
production of more pounds of better
staple cotton per acre, such as is
adapted to the use of our mills. To
my mind the time ha* come when it
is imperative that something be done
if the eastern belt is to continue to
produce cotton in any large way.’’
THE COTTON MARKET
Opened Steady’ at Decline of 1 Point
to an Advance of 1 Point. — Prices
Work Up to 14.28 for July.
New York, April 4. — UP) —The cot
ton market opened steady today at a
decline of one point to an advance
of-one point. Some southern selling
and liquidation was readily absorbed
at the start, prices working up to
14.28 for July and 14.70 for Decem
ber or about 3 to 4 prints net higher
in sympathy with relatively steady
Liverpool cable*.
This advance met increaeed offer
ings, however, while there seemed to
be some selling on failure of the re
port on boll weevil prospects to create
any immediate buying power of con
sequence, and prices sagged off to
14.22 for July by the end of the first
hour, or about two points net lower.
Private cables said trade calling
and continental buying had ab«orbed
hedge selling and liquidation in the
Liverpool market.
Cotton futures opened steady: May
14.03; July 14.23; Oct. 14.47; Dec.
14.66; Jan. 14.71.

SAPIRO NOT USED
BY COTTON GROWERS
Has No Connection With State As
sociation, Blalock Asserts.
Raleigh. N. C., April 4.—Aaron
Sapiro. plaintiff in a million dollar
libel suit against Henry Ford, is not
connected with the North Carolina
Cotton Growers’ Association .mr
does the association use the so-called
"Sapiro contract,” F. B. Webster,
assistant manager of the association,
said here.
Mr. Webster's statement was ]
brought forth by published reports j
from the scene of the trial at De- !
troit that Sapiro was in the “good j
graces” of the North Carolina mar- j
keting organization.
Mr. Webster said Sapiro had an
active hand in organizing the asso
ciation and was retained by it for
two years as consulting attorney,
and did not offer to,renew its con
tract at the end of that period.
U. B. Blalock, general manager of
the association, was out of the city
today and could not be reached for a
statement but he has commented
formally on the fact that the North
Carolina association did not use the
“Sapiro contract" because officials
believed it “too rigid" to meet the
demands .of the association.
‘'Sapiro knows co-operative mar
keting law, but he does not know
anything about marketing cotton,"
Mr. Blalock has said
