The growing number of “double j marriages" where in husbands nre I trying to find lespite from their : family exigencies also is mentioned. Mile.

DIARY OF A WAR CORRESPONDENT EDITOR'S NOTE — The United Pres* herewith presents the first of a series of extracts from ttye diary of D. C. Bess, United Press Staff Correspondent, In China. His articles will appear from time to time and will present an accurate picture of wartorn China. By n. c. mess I nlfhd I’ress Staff 'Correspondent July 6.-Four weeks ago today Shansi soldiers, a ragged, tired littl? group, entered Peking, the ancient capital. This morning I got up at f> o'clock to watch all the principal warlords of China Proper bow before the Southern Chinese saint Sun Vat-sen. Only two or three foreigners went out to Piynngssu, the temple where Sun's body lies. We hadn't expected to see much, believing foreigners would he barred from the Holy of Holies. But we had a pleasant surprise; we were admitted everywhere and saw everything. The temple is a lovely place, built on n hillside with ascending terraces connecting its courtyards. On the very top is the shrine in which the body lies. We climbed to a midway terrace, and waited, after polite soldiers hail decorated us with black arms-hands and Kuomintang badges. The signal came, and a large Shansi military band struck up a dirge. Through the central gate of tiie lowest terrace the most powerful men in China the Nationalist warlords emerged. Two or three paces

,In advance came Cliiung with whom I talked sdveial times lip Shanghai. He is a man of moderate height, carefully dressed In a modern I military uniform. Hut just behind ■ Min, eame an Immense man, stuuding | out from tlie rest like n sore thumb, jHe wore a heuvy heard — inns' | Chinese cannot cultivate them -and a broad-brimmed straw hat. "Who Is that Jesse James?” a I middle-western American beside me i asked. I replied, "It must be LI I Tsiing-Jen. the Hankow wnrioard. Certainly looks like a hand It." Tlie warlords came slowly closer. Suddenly I exclaimed, "Why, it is Feng Yii-hsiang!" Yen Hsi-shan and 1.1 Tsung-jen, a little dapper dandy, came just behind Feng. The only truly remarkable figure hi that assembly was Feng himself. The warlords came directly past | us, and went on up to the shrine. We ( started hesitatingly after, not expecting to get far. But we got Info tlie l shrine Itself without any trouble, and | watched a really impressive ceremony. Quilt-Making Is Not A Lost Art A most refreshing sight was to bo i seen at the opening of the Indiana State Fa r last year. In the splendid i Women's Building wherein were many beautiful works of art, clustereft about a cabinet filled with home made quilts, some dating back to ! Hoosier pioneer days, were several I score of eager-eyed women with pen- ! oil end paper making sketches of tlie

d< s'gns which have won M'umo for the past half century. There is nothing more lieauMful .or more thoroughly American than 'a hand-pieced counterpane, and it Is | a matter of iprlde that Hoosier women have long excelled In this art. The art galleries, style shows, limit displays, all received u goodly I ghato of attention, hut mine Inspired tlie women visitors as ibis display. ! Quilt making Is not u lost art. It [ remains the most truly feminine of | ail nits. In tlie little squares of n crazy patch quilt are often told the | story or n family's struggle and progross. This piece of gingham was i part of mother's dress when a girl, t Or this hit of paesiey was off grand!nr khe.'s shawl which coveted her , poor old shoulders tlie morning she ! quietly slipped away while rocking jln her little chair. Here is a remnant !of mother’s graduation gown, iter wedding dress, your own first baby j dress. No wonder women love these j quilts. They contain tlie heartaches |and ihe triumphs of a life time. A ! decade of life spreads before you al a glance. Kach stitch marks a heart beat and each row of quiltlnft brings to m. nd some long forgotten incident |in your life. Tlie quilt was the way | in which early pioneer women kept | an account of the family history and llt is fitting tlint their great grand-daugii't-rs should continue to excel in ; tiiis homely art.
