MAKING CHRISTIANS
BY STEREOPTICON
Missionaries Reach Many Wo
men of East by Means of
v Pictures
The stereopticon and moving pic
ture screen and the wall picture have
been found to be one of the best
means of Christianizing the women
of the Orient, according to reports re
ceived from American foreign mis
sionaries by the Inter-Church World
Movement, whose national headquar
ters are in New York City.
The value of the pictorial feature
of evangelistic work in the Orient
has in the fact that it enables mis
sionaries to reach women who can not
read or write and 90 per cent of Ori
ental women are said to be illiterate.
Moreover, the best subjects are the
old Biblical pictures, because they
need little explanation, their settings
and costumes corresponding with the
scenes to which the women of the
East are accustomed. This sense of
familiarity overcomes the feeling that
Christianity is an alien religion, im
ported from a country of which she
knows nothing.
The introduction of "still" Biblical
pictures in Chinese homes is another
means of reaching the women and is
especially easy because of the bare
ness of the walls of 'he average Chin
ese house.
A commission of prominent Ameri
can women, headed by Miss Mary L.
Jones, a well known Baptist mission
ary and principal of the women's
school at HuckSow, China, is now
crossing the Pacific to Japan, for a
six month's investigation of the pos
sibilities of pictures in the Oriental
missionary field. The commission is
part of an interdenominational depu
tation of thirty well known American
women who will study every phase of
the misisonary problem in the East,
and whose findings will be used by
the Inter-Church World Movement in
the formulation of its world program.
The Inter-Church Movement is the
organization through which the va
rious protestant bodies in this country
co-operating. The deputation,
which was organized by the Women's
Council of Foreign Mission Societies,
includes among its members Presi
dent Ellen F. Pendleton of Welles
ley College, and President M. Carey
Thomas of Byrn Mawr.
In a statement made to the Inter
Church World Movement on the eve
of her departure, Miss Jones, who
heads the pictorial commission, de
clared that Chinese women are awak
ening to a love of Occidental pictures.
They name as their favorite ar
tists the unique combination of Corot
and Jessie Wilcox Smith," she said.

ONE SHOULD PRODUCE
HIS OWN CABBAGE PLANTS
Grow your own cabbage plants, ad
vises Miss Ola Overby, garden spe
cialist, extension division, Louisiana
State University. The old-time meth
od of purchasing frost-proof plants
from various sources for early spring
heading is dangerous owing to the
introduction of a disease called "cab
bage yellows." Once the soil is in
fected with this disease, she says, it
is impossible to grow cabbages on the
same land for several years.
"The only safe recourse open to the
cabbage grower is to produce his own
plants," says Miss Overby. "The
seeds should be planted in coldframes
in November for the production of
frost-proof plants. In making a cold
frame use soil that is free from dis
ease. Plant the seeds in the cold
frames in drills six to eight inches
apart so that cultivation may be giv
en. The plants should not grow rap
idly, but steadily. Sufficient protec
tion from freezing should be given
so as to promote a normal growth.
The little plants in the coldframe
should have light and air whenever
the weather conditions permit.
"With good seeds and proper care,
the grower will be able to produce
hardy plants, free from disease and
ready for out-door setting as early
a* the season permits."
SURGEON GENERAL BLUE'S
RECENT PROCLAMATION
The following proclamation has
been issued from Washington by
Rupert Blue, surgeon general of the
United States public health service:
"Over 150,000 Americans die an
nually from tuberculosis. This is an
appalling waste of life when we con
sider that tuberculosis is classed as a
curable, preventable disease; more
over, because this loss of life occurs
almost entirely in the ranks of the
young adult population, health au
thorities the world over have come to
consider the control of tuberculosis
as still the most pressing health prob
lem confronting them.
"Every year the National Tuber
culosis Association by selling
Red
Cross Christmas Seals, raises a con
siderable sura of money to be used
in a nation-wide campaign to combat
tuberculosis. This year a special ef
fort is being made to interest school
children in this work, and December
5, 6 and 7 have been designated as
days on which the Seals are to be
sold in the public schools, synagogues
and churches. Because of the seri
ousness of the situation, I trust that
the campaign this year will be par
ticularly successful." ;
WHEN IS A COW?
When is a painted cow a "scrub"
and when is art art? Has the new de
mand for efficiency in Hie dairy gone
to the length of censoring our mural
decorators? Americans may be in
the midst of a new revolution without
knowing it, involving palette, brush
and the popular judgment on pic
tures.
An artist exhibited at a recent fair
at Minneapolis some paintings of cat
tle, which to the average tutored
mind were acceptable representa
tions. They were Jerseys, intended
as Jerseys, recognized popularly as
Jerseys. Which should have been
enough.
But along came a dairyman,trained
in the appreciation of butter-fat, to
whom a cow is a cow, an object of
profit rather than of beauty. The
dairyman protested. Those artist
cows, he said, would be condemned
by any self-respecting city-bred in
spector in America. They wouldn't
even pay for their board. No up-to
date farmer would give them stan
chion space. Scrubs, all scrubs!
Rural opinion, even when it con
demns the accepted tenets of art, can
not be ignored in these days of out
numbered producers; so the dairy
man's protest is referred henceforth
for exhibition at the Minneapolis fair
will havé to pass the censorship of
man whose matinl familiarity with
milk givers best fits them to tell when
a cow's a cow. When art's art may
be another question, and it may not
he we pass it up.—Cleveland (Ohio)
