CHINA RECEIVES
SUFFICIENT AID
Merger With Near East Relief
Dissolved.
Merged relations between the Near
East Relief and China famine fund,
formed last March with Governor War
ren X. McCray as chairman of the gen
eral organisation, were dissolved today
according to announcement of Near East
Relief, 408 City Trust Building.
Recent rains in China secur.ng bounti
ful crops, together with largo donations
from America, give safety to the famine
stricken districts, it is explained. In a
statement to the public, the Near East
Relief asks for continued support of Ar
menia's persecuted people of the Bible
lands.
“It would be disastrous,” it Is declared,
“If, when we have completed one-half of
our task, any should think the whole
finished. Stripped and bleeding Arme
nia remains and we must not forsake her
All persons who came into official rela
tionship under the Joint organization are
asked to continue their services in be
half of Near East Relief.
“Remember that Armenians suffer be
cause they are Christians and also be
cause they fought for the allies in the
world war. There is another work which
the Near East Relief is doing, such as
the maintenance of homes for giris res
cued from Turkish harems and the care
of thousands of refugees as yet unable
to return to their homes. It is a stu
pendous task and we earnestly entreat a
generous and sympathetic public to stand
by nntil this night of suffering is past.”
It is pointed out that Near East Re
lief is feeding daily 110.000 orphan chil
dren in 229 American orphanages in A6ia
Minor. A large deficit remains of the
Indiana quota of $400,000.

Special to The Times.
RICHMOND, Ind., June 14 —Establish
ment of a free employment bureau in

blanks and free postage privileges.

NEURASTHENIA—
NERVESTARVATION
A Disease of the Down-Hearted —Prac
tical advice on what to do.
Many a man is broken down and dis
couraged without having any actual
disease in his organs and tissues—he has
lost his grip, feels weak and nervous and
everything looks dark. He is suffering
from the great American disease —
Neurasthenia or nerve starvation, due to
over-work, worry, continual hurry and
nervous strain. The longer this con
tinues the more certainly will it end in
real disease of his organs, his nerves or
his mind.
Such a man should live on the simple
foods, eat plenty of cooked fruit and
green vegetables, sleep nine hours at
night if he can, an hour in the afternoon
and feed his starving nerves and weak,
thin blood, with a good nerve and blood
food, like Nuxated Iron. N'uxated Iron
contains a product brought to the at
tention of the French Academy of Medi
cine by the celebrated Doctor Robin,
which represents the principal chemical
constituents of active living nerve force:
it also contains genuine organic iron like
the iron in your blood and like the iron
in spinach, lentils and apples.
Nnxated Iron may therefore be said to
be a real nerve and blood food since it
supplies the principal ingredients de
rnanded by your nerves and blood to give
you strength, energy, force and endur
ance- It often increases the bodily and
Inental vigor of wear, wornout, down
'll carted and nervous folks In two weeks’
time. Tour monev will be refunded by j
the manufacturers If it does not produce
perfectly satisfactory results. For sale j
by all druggists.—Advertisement.

Plans to Cross Pacific in
Plane Without an Engine
New York’s Police Ace Would Do It in One
Hop—Explosives Propel Craft
NEW YORK, June 14.—An airplane
Sight that will startle the world Is be
ing planned by C'apt. Claude R. Collins,
ace of the New York police aerial re
serves. Captain Collins proposes to cross
the Pacific in a specially designed ma
chine in one hop, at an average speed
of four hundred miles an hour, a feat
that will make Sir John Alcock’s trans-
Atlantic flight seem tame by comparison.
Instead of the usual engine end pro
peller, Captain Collins' new machine will
be propelled by the exhaust of a highly
explosive substance, discharged from thf
tail through a nozzle. Turnoocks and
other devices will enable the speed of
the machine to be controlled exactly like
an airplane of the usual type.
Captain Collins gives credit for his in
spiration to Prof. James Goddard, who
while at Clark Fniverslty, designed r
rocket for communication wi.h other
planets. He now is working in collab
oration with Professor Goddard, who is
perfecting his rocket in the laboratories
of the Smithsonian Institute at Wash
ington. Another associate 1s Dr. W. W
Christians, former assistant to the late
Professor Langley, inventor of the first
airplane.
“My idea Is to get the plane up ha,ooo
feet or so and shoot like t under for
Japan.” said Captain Collins today In
dismissing his plans.

“Up that high there will be no atmos
pheric resistance to interfere with us
and the exhaust propulsion will be 100
per cent efficient. I figure we ought to
make 400 miles an hour.”
A hermetically sealed cockpit in which
the air pressure will be kept at normal
by oxygen fed from big tanka la one of
the features of CaptAlti Collins' plan, as
suring perfect comfort to the pilot and
observer. /
"This plan of mine may sound rather
queer, but I'm serious,” declared Captain
Collins. "Someone Is going to ‘bop’ the
Pacific some day and it might as well be
me. It can be done.”
The Pacific ocean between California
and Japan ia about 0.000 miles wide.
American Mission
Property Wrecked
LONDON, June 14.—The American mis
sion at Wu-Chang, China, has been
wrecked by Chinese rebels, according to
a news agency dispatch from Hankow
today. The Chinese insurgents, the dts
pateh said, looted and burned much
property. There were many Chinese
casualties, but so far no foreign casual
ties have been reported.
CATALPA MIDGE
LATEST PEST
Shade Trees of City En
dangered, Says Expert.
Now comes the Catalpa Midge, latest
pest to attack the trees of Indianapolis.
The Midge lives on catalpas alone and
much timber of this variety is affected,
according to reports to the special serv
ice of the city park department.
George E. Morgan, head of the special
service, issued a bulletin upon the pest
today, as follows:
“The catalpa trees about the city gen
erally are affected with the Catalpa Midge
and numerous calls have been coming in
of late relative to this pest. In the adult
stage this insect Is a fragile two-winged
fly. The eggs are minute, elongate, whit
ish in color and when deposited on the
leaves are found in masses. The mature
larva is one-eighth inch long and is
whitish or orange in color.
“Characteristics of the work of this
pest are stunted growing tips, brown
spots appearing somewhat like an eye
and deadened areas on the leaves. Fre
quently trees shed a considerable amount
of leaves when attacked by an early
summer outbreak.
“Fortunately, the catalpas are the only
known host that this pest inhabits.
“To control the pest, the trees should
be cultivated freely and stimulated by
giving a top dressing of nitrate of coda
or sulphate of ammonia. For further in
formation regarding this or any other
tree or shrubbery pest, call special serv- ;
ice, department of public parks. ’
