PAGE EIGHT CHURCH SURVEY | AIDS ALL CREEDS 'Religious Data Sought From Jew, Gentile, Catholic and i Protestant. .MPID PROGRESS REPORTED. Weft Under Way in Most Counties and i Completed In Nearly a Third e of Minnesota. ! Are you Jew or Gentile, Catholic or Protestant? ‘Whatever the answer, you are to be yecorded in the church survey now being made in Minnesota. - You need not hesitate in giving the information for it will not be made public. This work is incidental to the Inter- church World Movement now under way. The work of obtaining this reli- glous information in Minnesota is in <harge of A. Z. Mann, survey leader, with headquarters at 211 Lumber Ex- ‘change, Minneapolis. “The object of obtaining these facts 48 to assist us in learning the definite meeds and desires along religious lines,” said Mr. Mann. “In obtaining ithis information we have adopted a {program of thorough preparation and accuracy rather than speed.” County chairmen for carrying on this work have been selected in 82 of the 86 Minnesota counties. County councils have been organized in 56 counties. There are 317 volunteer surveyors at work. Reports to Mr. Mann show the fol- Jowing progress by percentages: County leaderships elected, 95 ' per cent. Organization completed, 66 per ' eent. i Individual counties in progress, { 87 per cent. ! Survey work reported complete, 29 per cent. Range of survey progress in coun- ties as indicated by county leaders’ Toports: Complete or being tabulated, 5. Counties over 75 per cent com- plete, 8. Counties 50 per cent to 76 per © cent complete, 7. Counties 25 per cent to 50 per ; cent complete, 13. * * . Counties under 25 per ceant com- T plete, 55. i All denominations and creeds of whatever belief benefit by the survey, as information of value is given to the interested organization whether or not it is associated with the Interchurch World Movement. " CENTRAL SOUTH AMERICA IS MOST NEGLECTED SPOT The greatest stretch of unevangel- ised territory in the world lies in the center of South America, including the interior of Brazil, Venezuela, Colum- bia, Bcuador, Peru, Bolivia, and Para- guay. An irregular territory some two thousand miles long and from five hundred to fifteen hundred miles in width, would only include two or three missionaries. In northern Brazil there are seven states, with populations ranging from that of Maine to that of New Jersey, with no foreign mission- ary. In spite of the awful needs, as great fn the interfor of South America as in China or. Africa, American mission boards do not support one hospital in all that contipent. There are about 200 missionaries, including wives, and 1,860 native workers, conscientiously but inade- quately covering the field. The gen- eral average has been one evangelistic missionary for every 50,000 people. The island world of Malaysia equals fn total expanse the area of the United States. It is the largest and the most fertile undeveloped Asiatic territory, containing 873,000 square miles, with s population of 50,497,042. Therq are about 45,000,000 Moslems. To win these multitudes to Christ is the stu- pendous task which confronts the Christian Church in Malaysia. The problem for Christianity in the Japanese Empire is to enlist the vision and energy of 78,723,500 progressive Asiatics in the cause of Christian de- mocracy.

SEA SCOUTS DO GOOD TURNS Sea scouts, as well as their land brothers, thoroughly belleve in the good turn daily ; and examples in work peculiar to the water are not uncom- mon. When breaking camp at Larch- mont, N. Y., the “Curlew” expedition wanted to show their appreciation of the courtesy of the Larchmont Yacht club, so all hands tumbled up unusual- ly early and gave the broad plazzas a cleaning that made the old caretak- er say: “Well, now, I ain’t seen that done so well for years!” Wilkinsburg, Pa., sea scouts of the schooner “Pennsylvania” are plan- ning to maintain a “beach patrol” of the summer resort beaches during the coming summer. Sea scouts will con- stantly be on patrol to see that no drownings occur off their strip of beach and to act as Instructors in swimming and watermanship. The B. 8. A. sloop “Essex” of South Orange, N. J., sent details ef sea scouts to New York city to help the National Marine league in its exhibit at the Grand Central palace. Sea scouts of Philadelphia, Pa., no- ticed the soldlers playing indoor quoits with rope rings joined together with wooden bands. “We can do better than that,” quoth the sea scouts, and promptly made up a large number of smooth rope grommets, which made a much better ring than the purchased article. s URGES SCOUTS TO BE AVIATORS. The boy scouts of New England are urged to take instruction In flying by Col. L. H. Drenan, air service officer at army headquarters, who, in speak- ing of the boy scouts and their future work, points to the necessity of a me- chanical training as one of their strongest assets. “T have been asked to speak before the boy scouts, and, in every instance, I have urged upon them the necessity |° of knowing machines, especially the airplane,” said the colonel. “While these boys may never fly, they should get acquainted with the mechanism of these machines.” BRONZE MEDAL FOR BOY SCOUT. A bronze honor medal has been awarded Scout Raymond S. Brinkman of Alplaus, N. Y., by the National Court_of Honor of the Boy Scouts or Amerlca for his act oL suying the life of Jeanette Rosenstock. This 18 one of the highest awards which any scout can receive for life saving. Scout Brinkman is the first scout under the Schenectady boy scout council to receive this honor. Miss Rosenstock was rescued by the scout when she was skating on the Mohawk river near her home at Al- plaus. She fell through the fce Into i & l i MARKETS—LOCAL AND FOREIGN Chicago, April 13.—Potato receipts today, 25 cars. Market weaker. Northern Round Whites, sacked, $6.75 to $7; bulk, $6;90 to $7.15.

For several days the poorer fam- ilies of the city had been supplied with fuel by destruction of old wooden buildings, dating back to Butte's early days, but this source became ex- hausted. Boy scouts, in & canvass of the city, obtained 600 pounds of coal, which 'was distributed in small lots where most needed. just heavy enough to pull the door lopen and keep it so. On the floor of the henhouse, right in front of the door, is a titing platform, with a hook in the front edge, which fits an eye screwed into the door. The door can therefore be locked at night by catch- ing the hook in the eye, and the pull of the cord against the door on the outside has the effect of making the ‘hook hold securely.
