Survey Made by Federal Re
serve Board Gives Reason
to Believe There Will Be No
Slackening.
Washington, March 27. —Business
in March thus far gives reason to
believe there will be no slackening
in activity in the immediate fu
ture, according to a survey of con
ditions made public tonight by the
Federal Reserve board. The high
rate of industrial production and in
creases in freight traffic and em
ployment, together with the large
volume of wholesale and retail
sates, warrant the assumption, the
statement said, that the business ac
tivity will be maintained.
A number of industries have al
lotted increases in wages in offset
ting shortages of skilled labor. The
survey showed a shortage of wo
men with the need for skilled la
bor great in many industrial cen
ters.
Recent increases in industrial and
commercial activity have been re
flected in a large volume of loans
by banks which are members of
the reserve system. Most of the
koans were for commercial purposes,
according to the survey, which
showed that commercial loans of
the member banks are approximate
ly -5500,000.000 larger now than at
the end of December.
Bank investments, however, have
decreased so that ihe aggregate of
the loans and investments combined
is only slgihtly larger.
Contrary* to expectations, despite
the larger demand for funds for
commercial purposes, there has been
little if any increase in the total
volume of credit extended by the
Reserve Banks. The total of the
earnings assets and loans !>'y the
twelve banks was approximately the
same March 24 as four weeks ear
lier, the survey disclosed.
The distribution of merchandise,
both wholesale and retail, continues
on the same high level as was noted
in February, the board reported.

THE NEWS AND FARMER
GEORGIA PREPARES FOR
NEGRO HEALTH CRUSADE
Many Agencies Will Help In
National Health Week,
April 1-8.
Plans are under way for the wide
spread observance throughout the
state of National Negro Health Week
April 1-8. The campaign is being
sponsored by the Georgia Committee
on Race Relations and by the 120
similar county committees. Other
cooperating organizations are the
anti-tuberculosis association, the
State Departments of Health and
Education, and the Home and Farm
Demonstration Agents. These agen
cies arc lending to the colored peo
ple all possible aid in making the
campaign thorough-going and effect
ive. In a number of places prelim
inary clean-up campaigns arc al
ready in progress.
National Negro Health Week was
inaugurated by Booker T. Washing
ton several years before his death
and has been continued by the col
ored people as a memorial to him.
Each year its observance becomes
more general and more effective. Its
program is designed to carry the
message of right living to every
colored home, school and church,
and to enlist them all in a thorough
going campaign of sanitation. It
has now come to he recognized as
of great educational and practical
value in the promotion of negro hy
giene and health.
The need for such a campaign is
indicated by the fact that the negro
death rate is 50 per cent higher than
the white rate, and that 100,000 ne
groes are said to die annually in
the south from preventable diseases.
In Georgia two-thirds of the deaths
from tuberculosis are among the
negroes, and almost as high propor
tion of deaths from typhoid and
malaria. The infant mortality rate
is tremendously high. It is esti
mated that the south loses ?100,000,-
000 a year as a result of preventable
diseases and death among its negro
population.
The program for Health Week is
as follows:
Sunday, April 1 —Sermon Day.
Monday, April 2—Personal Hy
giene Day.
Tuesday, April B.—Swat the Fly
Day.
Wednesday, April 4.—Tuberculosis
Day.
Thursday, April s—Children’s
Health Day.
Friday, April 6 —Church and School
Sanitation Day.
Saturday, April 7—General Clean
up Day.

Mr. A. E. Martin, manager of the

George B. Christian, secretary to
President Warren G. Harding, gave
the definite information that the
President and his party will arrive
in Augusta, coming over the Atlantic
Coast Line from St. Augustine, Fia..
Sunday morning.
The party will travel on a special
train, leaving St. Augustine Satur
da yevening. The exact hour of ar
rival here is not stated.
The party reaching Augusta will

Harding, Mr. and Mrs. George 15.
Christian. Doctor and Mrs. Sawyer.
Mr. and Mrs. E. B. McLean, former
Senator and Mrs. Frelinghuysen,
Senator Fredrick Hale, Mr. and Mrs.
A. D. Lasker.
! The newspaper correspondents
with the party are: E. R. Bartley,

According to Spencer 1,. Hart, scc
| retary of the Augusta Board of
Commerce, who is in St. Augustine,
having gone there for the purpose of
making arrangements incident to the
President’s visit to Augusta, the
party will remain in Augusta for a
week or longer. Mr. Hart left Au
gusta Monday night for St. Augus
tine where he went to confer with
Mr. Christian as to what arrange
ments he wanted made preparatory
to the visit here, and while in con
ference with Mr. Christian Mr. Hart
talked lo President Harding persona
ally who stated lo Mr. Hart that his
party would leave St. Augustine Sat
urday and would arrive here Sunday.
It is understood that President
Harding has expressed the desire
that he not be expected to partici
pate in any public functions and that
he be given every opportunity to re
maitj in quietude and to enjoy, in
his ow n way, the rest and recreation
which he is seeking.
,In all probability the only time
he will be seen in public will be on
his trips to the Country Club links,
where he plays his daily round of
golf to which sport he is an ardent
devotee.
St. Augustine, Fla.. March 27.
President and Mrs. Harding expect
to spend Easter in Augusta, Ga.
Preliminary arrangements were
being made today for departure oi
the presidential vacation party from
St. Augustine late Saturday after a I
stay here of exactly a week, and for
arrival early Sunday in the Georgia
city. How long Air- and Mrs. Harding
will stay in Augusta has not been ,
decided, nor have any decisions been !
reached as to whether other stops I
are to be made enroute from that ;
city back lo Washington.
The general belief among members j
of the party is that from three to ;
five days will be spent in Augusta i
and that possibly another stop will
be made in one of the Carolinas. So i
far as known, however, the presi
dent himself has not made up his
mind, and in reality is not giving it
much thought for he feels that one
cannot get a real vacation when con
tinually bothered by the details of
a schedule. The statement was au
thoratively made today, however, j
that plans for a stop at Asheville j
had finally been abandoned.
Bright Today
After a shower last night, St. Au
gustine was bright today with sun-j
shine—an ideal day for golf and the
president planned to lake advan
tage of it.
Members of the party today point
ed to tlie thirty-six holes of golf
played yesterday by the president as
proof of statements that the presi
dent’s physical condition had been
greatly improved by the three week’s
spent in Florida, ’lwo rounds of an
eighteen hole golf course, involving
a walk of ten miles, In the space of
six hours, members of the party
pointed l out. requires a splendid phy
sical condition especially in a man
of the president’s age.
Chairman Lasker, of the shipping
hoard, who is a member of Hie psesi
dential party, announced today that
he had abandoned by request of the
president his plans to leave tonight
for Washington. The work of the
shipping board in preparing the al
ternative plans for solving the mer
chant marine problem is progressing
satisfactorily, Air Lasker said, and |
will be ready for submission to the
president early next month,

Permission to Summon ', e
Young Girls Was Granted
by Federal Judge Satter,
Presiding in Case.
Grand Rapids, Mich., March 27.
Young girls alleged bv plaintifl
witnesses in the suit of John W.
Mansell against the Israelite Hoiu .
nf David to have been mistreated by
Benjamin Purnell, head of the cult,
are to be subpoenaed by Walter H.
Nelson, Hanscll’s attorney, : t vva>
announced today. Permission to
summon the girls was granted by
Federal Judge Setter, presiding.
They probably will be called as
plaintiff rebuttal witnesses.
The question of summoning the
gilds arose during the examination
of Mrs. Edith Rosetta, a defense
witness who identified a number ot
names on a list offered by Attorney
Nelson, as girls now residing on
the House of Shiloh, Purnell's resi
dence, where the alleged immoral
practices are said to have taken
place.
Previously Mrs. Rosetta bad testi
fied girls uuder 20 years old were
now Jiving at Shiloh Flous:.
Gone for Some Time.
Possibility that Purnell might be
brought into court vvliu glinimoing
in the opinion of plaint iff counsel
when Jane Glover, a member of the
Benton Harbor colony, testified the
cult leader was not now in the
House of David. He had “been gone
tor some time” the witness stated.
Asked to fix the date of his depart
ure, she said she believed it was
about two months ago.
The sudden illness today of Mary
Purnell, “queen of the colony”, also
was believed to have definitely re
moved her from the list of those
witnesses. She had attended cverv
session of the hearing up to this
afternoon. Indications were that
the defense testimony which has
been largely a rebuttal of tlie “sensa
tional testimony offered by the
plaintiff was nearing its end.
Today’s witnesses included pres
ent as well as former members who
entered a general denial of the im
morality charges and added a few
details to counter-charges made bv
the colony against the Hansell fam
ily, which asks SBO,OOO for property
turned over to the cult and for “labor
during membership.
