SLASH IN GOAL FREIGHT RATES . TO CITY URGED (Attorney Believes Fight Would Save $400,000 a Year to Consumer. Annual saving of $400,000 to Indianapolis manufacturers and other local coal consumers would result if the Interstate Commerce Commission should be prevailed upon to reduce coal freight rates from Indiana mines to Indianapolis as it did recently between these mines and Hoopeston, 111. This is the opinion of Isaac Born, attorney, 515 Occidental Bldg., who, with his son, Ferdinand Bom, successfully carried the significant Hoopeston case before the interstate commission. “In the face of the decision of the Interstate Commerce Commission in the recent coal rate case involving rates to Chicago and Indiana points in which relief to the latter was denied, the order in the Hoopeston case is of singular importance to Indiana consumers,” said Bom. Thinks Reduction Possible “Coal rates are a very important factor in the decision of industries considering factory locations,” he said. “Indianapolis for many years has been at a decided disadvantage In this respect. If the matter were prepared, presented and pursued properly I believe coal rates from Indiana mines to Indianapolis consumers could be reduced 13 or possibly 15 cents a ton under the present rate—oi In other words to about $1 a ton ” The order in the Hoopeston case Was a boon to Indian mine operators. The reduction ordered will mean a saving of about sl9 on a car load. Born today received a copy of an order by the interstate commission In another case he presented before It affecting commodity rates on fertilizers. He represented the E. Rauh & Sons Fertilizer Company in the action against the Akron, Canton & Youngstown Railroad Company and others. Change Fertilizer Rates The commission found that sixth class rates on fertilizer in carloads from Indianapolis to points in the central territory had not been unreasonable in the past, but were unreasonable for the future. Anew schedule of reduced rates was ordered and reparation denied. The Indiana State public service commission Thursday concurred in the findings of the interstate body.

BEGIN HEBE TODAT Her mother was fanatical upon the subj-'t of guarding In beautiful your“est daughter, so Diana Farwell reached her eighteenth year “cold and untouchable,” and with very little real knowledge of life. Diana, attractive and longing for the good times all youth is heir to, resented her mother’s attitude even though she knew it had something to do with an older sister, Vivian, wno left home when Diana was still a little girl and whose name was never mentioned in the family. . . So. partly to escape her mother s rigorous watchfulness and partly because she was flattered by the attentions of an older man. Diana married Arthur Vane, a prominent San Franclscq lawyer and an old friend of the family. The young couple make their home in San Francisco and there Diana begins her "friendship” married life. But friendship without love in marriage seldom works. Diana’s platonic friendship finally gets on Arthurs nerves. She meets one of his friends, Edward Staunton, who Interests her. Arthur becomes Jealous, but resumes his former attentive manner to her out of sympathy when her mother dies. Staunton invites Diana to tea and she goes because he says he can tell her about her long-lost sister. Staunton Informs Diana that Vivian is living in San Francisco, but does not want to see her. She persuades him to give her Vivian’s address. They are leaving Staunton s apartment when they come face to face with Arthur Vane. IIANA spoke first. “Why, Arthur, how did you know where I was?” “I didn’t,” he replied, curtly. “You said you were going to the Temple Bar tea room.” Staunton spoke up: “I thought Mrs. Vane might enjoy seeing my studio.” “And I did,” she continued, taking her cue from his light tone. “It was lots of fun. We had bread and butter and tea.” When they reached the street Arthur suggested, shortly, that Staunton accompany them no further. Diana knew that her companion was both embarrassed and chagrined, but she dared give no indication of her own perturbation. So she cried, gaily, “Goodby, Mr. Staunton. Thanks for the lovely afternoon.” They rode home in absolute silence. The lamb chops were waiting, and she changed her dress and proceeded to the kitchen, humming carelessly. Determined to make no explanation until she was forced to it. But Arthur lost no time. “Why did you lie to me, Diana?” “I didn’t. I did think we were going to the Temple Bar.” “You did? I suppose you’ll tell me next that you thought it was on Montgovery St.” “No, I knew where it was,” she answered truthfully, “but I saw no reason why I shouldn’t have tea in his studio if he preferred it.” “Studio! The place is nothing more nor less than his bedroom. I’ve been there. I know what it is.” She shrugged and adjusted the blaze above the lamb chops. “If it WERE a real studio it would be indiscreet of you to go there alone. I can’t understand you, Diana. I can’t understand what any woman would see in Ed Stiunton.” “You wouldn’t,” he retorted, cruelly. “But he’s interesting to me because he dares to be different.” He seized her by the shoulders. “Well, you’ll never know how near I came to knocking him down. I won’t stand for your flirting with that artistic pup.” “I wasn’t flirting. Don’t you think it’s possible for a girl to have a perfect innocent LIKING for a man? “No, I don’t,” he replied, bluntly. “It’s humiliating to see you fall for tactics as crass as his. It would hurt me enough if he were a real man, but that . . She left the oven and faced him, stormily. “Go on. Call him names. Simply

CHAPTER VI. Or.—. .-UT of the simple soil of China a rare flower grows; ___J the most courteous and gentle civilization in history. What is it that in the midst of poverty has ennobled the Chinaman? Three things—love of family, love of learning and love of peace. "Honor thy father and thy mother, that thy days may be long in the land;” it has not been true of the individual in China, but it has been true of the race; the unity of the family preserved the Chinese as it preserved the Jews. “Kindness,” says the Chinese, “is greater than law;” and the family is to them more vital than the State. To strengthen the family as the prop and base of social organization, the Chinese went as far as the Romans and gave the father unlimited power. To the woman they gave not power, but reverence; and though Chinese women did not indulge in politics, they found (if infanticide did not get them) every consideration in youth and age. • • • SET they missed for the most part the romance of love and the pride of monogamy; for in China, till our own days, a man might have concubines as well as a wife. Betrothal was by the parents; not till the wedding did the bride or groom see one another’s face; for the lifting of her veil was the last act of the long marriage ceremony. Every Chinese girl In her growth compressed her feet from north to south; our girls compress their feet from east to west; each thinks the other foolish, and doubtless both are right. Chinese women smoked as much as the men, and it was considered unwomanly for a woman not to wear trousers, and- indelicate for man not to have skirts. Each lady painted and primped and dressed as much as her joint husband could afford; and the philosophers raged and wrote aphorisms. “The good looking woman needs no paint,” they pleaded, vainly; and then they added, bitterly, “Three-tenths of good looks are due to nat- re; seven-tenths to dress.” • * - SHE family was held together, even when the state decayed, by the omnipotence of the father and the religion of ancestor-worship that bound both living and dead in an inviolable unity. Very often the land was held in common by the family and transmitted whole, so that economic interest helped religious piety to keep the family one. Given this universal element of filial loyalty, and it made little difference that some of the people were Buddhists, some of them Taoists, some of them Mohammedians and some of them Confucians, in whom “the way of the superior man” had quite replaced theology. Buddhism came in across | the Himalayas about 65 A. D.; and it found a ready response among the imaginative poor, who reveled in its democracy and its auperstl-

of her dinner it would be burned. She held herself in no way responsible for that burning. How could she keep her mind on anything while he was arguing with her? And why the argument tonight of all nights when she wished to think only about Vivian and Staunton’s information. They had sat down to the poorest meal she had ever served. Gazing at the charred chops, she remembered having read that a young wife should always endeavor to serve tempting food, particularly if her husband was angry. “Put on your prettiest frock,” the advice had said, "and make your

tions. Many of the Chinese adopted it while retaining the Confucianism (i. e., the highly ceremonial worship of God, Confucius and one’s ancestors) taught them by the state. But only among lettered classes has Confucianism the philosophical and naturalistic character which it had in the master—who never dreamed that he was founding a religion. • • • ■ ONFUCIAN ISM has no C priesthood. Its rites were periodically performed by the emperor and other officials of the state until its disestablishment by the new republic. It has a minimum of theology and says little about sin. It does not persecute, nor does it proselytize; "religions are many,” says the Confucian, “but reason is one.” It is above all a code of conduct and manners, and it has produced a type which stands very near the summit of human development. Key>:erling, after seeing many lands and many men, concluded that the Confucian scholars were intellectually the profoundest and morally the finest human beings he had met In China co • Is a part of religion. Sometimes It degenerates into mere etiquette. It is bad manners, in China, to attack the enemy in wet weather; Wu-pei-fu did it and won a victory, but as the beaten general complained Wu-pei-fu went back to the position he had before the battle and fought all o'er again the first sunny day. • • • r—iUT for the most part it is a Breal and not a “conventional courtesy; “it is quite as reliable," says a recent traveler, "in situations for which no precedent has been provided. And it is not confined to one class—it exists even in the humblest coolie.” All in all, it leads to habits and traits which make the educated Chinaman rival the French aristocrat in manners and the Englist gentleman in poise of carriage and depth of character. Not even the Englishman equals the stoic calm of the Chinese; the latter has seen all, the wisdom of a thousand generations is in his blood, and he stands serene in the midst of turmoil and strife. “Seeing men in haste,” says a Chinese adage, “do not seek to overtake them.” It is a lesson we find it hard to learn; we long rather to overtake others than to perfect ourselves. We must not idealize; the Chinaman is not as virtuous as Sir Charles Grandison. He is almost apathetic to sufferirg; he is as avaricious as any man who has felt the whip of poverty, and he takes to his philosophic heels with a readiness which to him Is wisdom and to western taste seems cowardice. • • • i—-iUT he has a delicate huI D j mor and an aristocratic I P I self-restraint; he is modest, individually and nationally—his “pride is too profound for selfassertion”; he is quick to offer kindnesses and slow to forget them; he is orderly and industrious; he Is “practical, teachable and wonderfully gifted with common sense”; he is an excellent artisan, an honest trader and a far-visioned statesman, who can think in centuries while his enemies, thinking in years, cancel themselves in war. For above all he Is peaceful. Do we realize what It means that the oldest and most numer-

table equally dainty. No man can remain angry in the face of attractive food served by a winsome wife." Perhaps the lack of it was responsible. At any rate Arthur became visibly more glum. When she finished the dishes and entered the living room, he asked, suspiciously, “What were you doing in his room all that time?” Diana lifted her sewing from the table, but he took it from her. “Give me your undivided attention, please. This playing at marriage has gone far enough. If you aren’t going to to be a real wife to me rest assured I won’t stand for your being anything to any other man.

ous people on earth are lovers of Justice and peace? It is a gift to the world, which might be incarnadined with blood if these vast millions should, like Japan, adopt the insane arts of modem war; and it is a lesson for all nations and all generations. It is as if the fever of strife had burned itself out from the blood of the Chinese; surely in this matter they are farther from the jungle that we of the west, who invent new modes of corporate murder every day. How they must smile as Europe commits hara-kiri in kindness to the east! It is true they are now at war and Europe Is now at peace; but it is Europe that made the war, and it is they who will make the peace. (To Be Continued) (Coovrlght. 1927.

Her cheeks paled. “Threatening me, Arthur?" “Call it that if you like. If I am so repulsive to you why did you consent to marry me?” “But you AREN’T,” she answered, honestly. “Not when you’re being nice.” “I’m not trying to be nice,” he asserted, angrily. “The time has come for us to have a definite understanding.” Suddenly she felt very calm. As if a momentous decision confronted her. In a quiet, little voice, 3he asked, "Understanding about what?” “About our marriage,” he retorted. His face was flushed, his voice was bitter, but the expression in his eyes reminded her of a dog begging with uplifted paws. And it sickened her to see a man like Arthur Vane going to pieces like this. She decided the topic of her afternoon with Staunton was safer ground and retreated to it. “Be sensible, Arthur. So far as this afternoon was concerned, I was talking to Mr. Staunton about my sister. He said he knew her.” “He knows Vivian?” She nodded. "Well, why didn’t you say so ‘n the first place?” “I thought you might not approve,” she gulped. “I didn’t know you wanted to see her. You haven’t mentioned her to me since we came to San Francisco.” “I’ve looked for her every place we’ve gone,” she confessed. "I want to give her half of my mother’s estate.” “Don’t be ridiculous,” he said, firmly. “Not that it matters to me, but your mother would be furious. She wanted you to have it all or she would not have left it to you.” Diana set her lips, stubbornly, and made no answer. After a moment he asked, more gently, “What did Staunton tell you about Vivian?” She told him adding, “I have her address, and I’m going to see her." "I wish you wouldn't, Diana.” “Why?” He surprised her by replying. “Because I hate to see you hurt. She doesn’t wish to resume the old relation. Leave her alone.”

“Arthur," she begged, “What was it my sister did?” “Do you mean to say you don’t know?” “Mother would never discuss it. All I know is she did something disgraceful and ran away.” “I don’t know the details, either,” he answered, embarrassed. “Why bother about it after all these years?" But she insisted, “I’m not a child any more. Please tell me. Was it something about some man?” “I can’t tell you, Diana. No gossip about your sister will ever come from me.” She saw that his anger was largely dissipated. Much to her own astonishment her explanation had satisfied him. “If I didn’t know how unsophisticated you are,” he sighed, “I might not believe you. But it is just girls like you—inexperienced and entirely Ignorant of life—who are always at the mercy of some man like Staunton. “You misjudge him, Arthur.” “Perhaps I do. Perhaps his interest is purely friendly. But I doubt it. Sooner or later he will expect you to pay for his little attentions.” “I think that’s low of you.” “All right. But understand this, I will not permit you to have any more engagements with him.” "Permit?” she cried, furiously. “Exactly. You are my wife, bear-

I had gone to look up a client on the same floor." Suddenly his tone changed. He attempted to put his arms about her. “Oh, Diana, can’t you love me?” When she wriggled away from him, he cried, violently. “An- you trying to be cruel? Can’t you see what you’re doing to me?” She asked, curiously, “Are you unhappy, too?” His face was distorted with longing. * “You’ve shattered every ideal I had. I thought your coldness was due to your inexperience, but it’s really a defect in your character. I love you, Diana. You have roused a feeling in me that I never dreamed I could have for any woman. But you are disappointing me bitterly.” “You’ve disappointed me, too,” she accused, wiping her eyes. “I thought you understood that I did not care for that sort of thing. When we were first married and you took me to New York I simply adored you Everything was perfect then.” “You can’t expect that to go on forever. When two people love each other. ..." “I do love you,” she asserted, defiantly. “I have tried my best to be a good wife in every other way. But nothing I've done has pleased you lately. I can't understand it.” He answered, wearily, “All right. If you can’t understand there is no use talking about it. But I wish to God your mother had instilled a few less ‘high ideals.’ Because so far as I am concerned you’ve wrecked my life. ...” Tc Be Continued
