SELF-HELP METHODS CHARACTERIZE WORK IN HIGH ORPHANAGE Alexandropol, Armenia. OP) Far out on the broad, barren upland plateau which divides Russian Armenia from Turkey and Persia is a small group of American men and women who are conducting the largest and most unique orphanage in the world. In their care and under their tutor ship are 18,000 Armenian boys and girls who have been salvaged from the wreckage of war and ruin in Asia Minor.

They are kept alive by the nickels and dimes of American children and by contributions of food and clothing from the American people. Five thousand of the orphans are tiny girls from two to seven years old. These are in charge of Miss Janet McKay, of Buffalo, N. who is called by the natives "the Mother of Armenia." Miss McKay looks after her great family of adopted children with all the care, solicitude and af fection of an American mother. Nothing will persuade some of the smaller of the children that she is not their real mother.

Most "of the orphans lost one or both parents during the. Great War, so that they scarcely know what it is to have a real parent. Nor did they know what childhood was until the Americans supplied them with toys, games, picture, taught them the spirit of play and made it possible for them to romp and frolic on the broad fields of their native country. To see great masses of them at play, in their immaculate garments of white, theii- clean, bronzed, happy faces, i.T a sight that cannot fail to affect the American visitor's pride and emotion. Before tho Americans came to Armenia SO per cent of these children were affected with trachoma, conjunctivitis and other eye diseases.

All were suffering acutely from the effeaLs of inanition and exposure. The death-rate was. about 50 a day. Young physicians from the United States army and American nurses took the children in hand and brought them back to health and happiness. Today the death-rate is about one every three months.

When the correspondent visited Alexandropol this vast multitude of children assembled on a great campus and formed, In gigantic human letters, the words "America, We Thank You," as an expression of their gratitude for the help they received from the adults and children of the United States. Viewed from the great stone military barracks which surround the campus, the scene was inspiring and touching. The Bolshevik authorities refuse to allow the children to have American flags, so the carried instead great white towels bearing the stamp "Medical Department, United States Army." These they waved enthusiastically, crying, "Bong Live the United States; Long Live the American People." The entire work of cooking, sewing, washing and bedmaking at the orphanages is done by the orphans themselves. The American personnel numbers less than 25, a remarkable fact when it is considered that there is a whole city of children to look after. Armenia is yet too poor to support theso children, although some steps are being taken to this end, so that the Americans will continue to- care for them until means are found of placing them with families or finding employment for them in the country.

From the age of five the orphans are taught sewing, embroidering, basket-making, woodworking, dressmaking and other useful arts. The older children are instructed in the mechanical arts, in farming, dairying and cattle-raising.

Nov. 2. A pronounced rally in security markets, an easier tone in money, halting markets for farm products and a somewhat wider tone in metals were the chief characteristics of the past week in business and finance. Conditions fn important industries have shown little change on the whole. The decline in crude oil production has continued, and further drafts have been made both on crude oil and gasoline shocks.

Quarter statements of motor manufacturers for the third quarter, now coming to hand, contain many reports of improvement. Freight car loadings for the last week for which figures are available, that ended October 18, were the largest of any single week in transportation history, amounting to 1,102,336 cars. At the same time, a tabulation of the recently published September earning statements indicates the the Class 1 carriers earned nea operating income of $120,000,000 in September. This would make the net the highest since operation under the transportation act began and would mean .59 per cent, earned on property valuation. The ease with which the money market absorbs new capital issues, the foreign loans, the low state of redis- counting and our huge gold reserves would appear to indicate continued ease for some time.
