cle, 90 Vt of the population lies in

The Finns, who originally came
from central Asia and whose Mon-
gol stock was crossed many times
with Slav, Turk ’and Laplander, de-
scribe themselves as being “first
cousins to the Magyars, 42nd cous-
ins to the Turks, Mongqis and Man-
chus, and no relation to the Lapps.
For 700 years, until the beginning
of .the 19th century, Finland was
the battleground of the Swedes and
the Russians.
With a population of 3,800,000,
only 149,367 are listed as workers;
the country has fewer than 4,000
factories, mostly wood, and paper
mills.
Less than 20% of the people live
in towns. Only eight cities have
more than 111,COO population; Hel-
sinki, the capital, has 268,000.
More than 96% of the Finns be-j
long to the Evangelical Lutheran
church.
The per capita debt is about 350.
Hay and potatoes are the coun-
try’s chief crops; chief exports are
lumber 1 and wood.
Crowning irony to Finns in their
present predicament is the fact
that for 20 years before 1917 Fin-
land was a hideout for Bolsheviks
wanted by the Czar’s police; Lenin,
firat leader of the Soviet, once hid
in a Finnish haystack while await-
ing the Russian Revolution.—Path-
finder.

AUSTIN—Advent of the

brought from the Texas Social Hy-
giene Association a warning that
a new law governs workers in es-
tablishments preparing such food
for market. (
R. F. Voyer, director of the asso-
ciation, pointed out that the new
law provides that before any per-
son shall be allowed to work “in,
on or about any place where food or
drink is prepared, stored, packed,
sold or otherwise handled" he must
present a certificate from a phy-
sician. ,l|
This certificate must attest that
the holder was “actually anl thor-

of all transmissible conditions of
disease. The law, Voyer said, re-
quires that the employer know the
