Miss Slattery is the author of many | books on pedagogy and psychology, ard is’also a contributing editor of | “The Church School.” She was for- merly principal of the normal school | in Fitchburs, Massachusetts, but now devotes her entire time to giving a re- ligious message to the young people of the world. \During the World War, Miss Slat- tery made a special speaking tour through Europe under the auspices of the Y, W. C. A. Last March she re- turned from a six months’ trip hrough the Orlent, where she spoke in colleges, under the auspices of practically all of the protestant or- Zanizations of the Far East. ‘With such a range of experiences, gained by study, travel and associa- tions Miss Slattery comes to the Con- necticut state Sunday school conven- tion with a wealth of knowledge and a vital message for all. New Britain has made provision for amply entertaining all delegates, and it is expected many others will plan to visit the convention for at least a DRY ADVOCATES ARE DECIDEDLY UPSET Condemn Recent Beer Ruling in No Uncertain Terms—“Outrage,” One Man Says. ‘Washington, Oct. 25.—Beer as a medicine, enjoys a full legal status to- day through the unexpected action of the treasury department in promulga- tion regulations permitting its use for that purpose. Dry advocates in and out of con- gress did not conceal their disapproval of the department’s action. Wayne B. ‘Wheeler, general counsel for the Anti- Saloon League described it as “less defensible that any at any other time while Senator Willis, republican, Ohio, joint author of the anti-beer biil characterized it as “an outrage utterly indefensible.” ‘While the new rules, covering com- prehensively the use of wine and spir- tuous liquors as medicincs as well as eer, fix a limit of 2 1-2 gallons, the of beer that may be prescribed to the same person at one time, no arbi- trary limit'is placed on the number of prescriptions one person may obtain within a given period. Except that the amount for a single prescription is limited to two quarts, the wine regula- tions are the same, while spirituous liquors are limited to one pint within any ten day period. UNION MEN DENY | BREAK IN RANKS Insist Railroad Men Have Not Fallen Out Among Themselves—R. R. Men Make Statement. ‘Cleveland, Oct. 25.—Prior to their return to Chicago tonight, where on ‘Wednesday they will appear before the United States Railroad labor board in answer ‘to citations, the “big five” railroad transportation chiefi wera to continue their «conference today on matters pertaining to the strike situa- ‘| authorization. general chairmen are agreed upon by the five leaders before they' are dis- patched thus maintaining unity of ac- tion. A large number of such mes- sages are considered at each confer- ence. The “big five” leaders discount in- timations that there is discord between the organizations that have '‘authoriz- ed their members to withdraw from the service and those withholding such Both presidents, War- ren S. Stone of the engineers and L. E. Shepard of the conductors, have openly stated, they do not consider there is an ‘‘open break.” Mr. Stone flatly ‘asserted there i3 none. J. J. Bernet, president of the Nickel Plate railroad, has informed the local chamber of commerce emergency food and fuel committee that his company expects to maintain service. “Within two dayvs after a strike, if it comes,”’ Mr. Bernet said, “our road will be moving traffic and within a week it will be moving a heavy volume of it. We have approached the problem from the standpoint that in event of a strike every man will quit.” Mr. Bernet did not intimate where or how men would be obtained to op- MAYFLOWER IS NOW ASKING FOR RACE Boston Schooner Wants Ocean Con- test With Canadian Fishing ‘Vessel. - Boston, Oct. 25.—An ocean race be- tween Blue Nose, Canada’'s crack fishing schooner, which yesterday won the ‘sailing championship of the north Atlantic and the Mayflower, out of Boston, debarred from the inter- national competition after being nom- inated as American defender, awaits only challenge from the Canadian. Fred L. Pidgeon, managing director of the Mayflower associates, said today that the local fisherman would meet Blue Nose or any other Nova Sco- tian vessel, off Halifax or outside this port, if challenged. His statement was madé after celpt of an informal inquiry from Halifax where Captain Angus Wal- ters of the Blue Nose last night was re- to enough. “We could get up quite a purse here, I believe,” Pidgeon said. A meeting between Blue Nose and Mayflower would be of special ‘in- terest because both boats were built to measurements that approach close- ly the limit possible under the cham- pionship stipulations. Mayflower, however, was ruled out by the Nova Scotian trustees as having failed to conform to the spirit of the deed of gift of the championship cup.

In the week of September 15-22 will be held medical conferences in con- nection with the dedication exer- cises of the Peking Union Medical College and Hospital, which the Rockefeller Foundation is building, equipping, and staffing. In 1915 a special commission sent to China- by the Rockefeller Foundation reported that the need of medical relief in China was very great. Many preventable and easi- ly curable diseases have prevailed there almost unchecked, from the earliest days down to present times, while Intercourse with foreign countries and modern methods of communication have introduced in- to regions previously unaffected, such terrible scourges as the bu- bonic plague and have contributed largely to the spread of other dan- gerous infections. Bo also have modern systems of transportation and of Industry brought in an entirely new series of accidents and occupational dis- eases with which Chinese civiliza- tion is not yet prepared to cope. It was felt that a special obligation rests upon western civilization to mitigate this suffering, for part of which it may be held directly re- sponsible. Missfonary socleties have played a leading part In introducing a \knowledge of modern medicine into communities scattered throughout the entire Republic. Dispensaries, begun as adjuncts of evangelistie work, have In many cases devel- oped Into small hospitals, in a few instances In larger centers Into in- stitutions comparable with the av- erage of those in the West. In 1919 the Protestant missions in China supported 817 hospitals. Catholic time become an Intimate, organ} part of a developing Chinese civil{ zatfon. The campus of the collegq on which fourteen hospital and lab oratory buildings have already beeg erected, was until the latter half o 1917 the site of the palace and gar den of a Chinese prince. The greal gray bricks which fornfed the wall enclosing the prince’s garden have been cut up and used as the facq brick for all the college buildings, Eaves and porticos are embel lished with conventional Chinesq decorations in red, blue, green and gold, painted by native artisans Glazed green roof tiles of the sort used only for imperial palaces and temples in days gone by have beew supplied by one of the same, factes ries which hag made them for hum dreds of years. The very descends ants of the tile makers and bulld. ers of ancient Chinese edifices havq been at werk on the new Chinesgs American structures. The Chinese laborers take kindly to American buflding methods. The re-enforced concrete construction, which was employed for the floors was a welcome novelty. The use of wood-working machinery has arous- ed much interest. The turning out of uniform sash, doors, window frames, etc, was a new idea to a people accustomed to hand work whose nearest synonym for identi- val is “not so very different.” The Interior of the building 1s' equipped with thé most modern fa-' cliities for elementary and ad- vanced Instruction In all major' medical sciences and clinteal’ branches. This new school and: harmony with the best traditions |hospital in Peking will enable the of Chinese architecture and sym-|medical missionaries to keep bolize a desire to make the college lnbrent of current discoveries and, orders and socleties maintain hos- pitals and dispensaries in large ports, such as Shanghai and Han- kow, and In several smaller places. The peed for Chinese assistants in these missionary hospitals led to the opening of pioneer medical schools, which, through the devo- tion of the teachers, were able to give & preliminary training of prac- dlcal use in the routine of the hos- pital. Some of the students of ex- ceptional ability made considerable progress. A few were sent to ‘Western schools to complete their training. Of late missionary med- fcal education has been concen- trated in a few schoels. A Japanese medical school in Moukden, until recently a German- 1. manned schooi In Shanghai, a Brit- ish medical school In the Univer- sity of Hongkong, groups of Euro- pean and American physicians in the chief Treaty ports, hospitals supported by local town councils or voluntary societies In foreign con- cessions and military and naval hospitals maintained by various foreign governments have had an appreciable educative effect upon Chinese public opinion. The influ- ence of Chinese physicians who have been trained in the medical schools of the United States and of Europe has been significant and of increasing weight.
