' D. A. A political speaker, warning the public against the imposition of heavier tariffs on imports, said: "If you don't stop shearing the wool ' off the sheep that lays the golden egg, you'll pump it dry." ' This reminds us of that other farsighted orator who, in a burst of eloquence, said : "All along the untrodden pathways of the past we view the footprints of an unseen hand."

S. soldiers in the picture above would indicate that the antagonism of the German people toward the allied forces was mostly kaiser-made. The doughboys are finding that Badeker's description of the Rhine was accurate when he said that pedestrians would find the banks of the river admirably adapted for walking.

Ear-Rings Only Difference in Dress of Boys and Girls of China "Children of China have round faces, very brown complexion, brown eyes and hair that is very black and baa a beautiful gloss to it" said Mrs. David W. Dennis, who returned in December from China, to the Junior Editor. The littlo boys and girls dress Very much alike. In fact, ear rings worn .by tuo girls arn sometimes the only things hat distinguish the boys rrom the girl. They very seldom have their feet bound any more, which is a very painful custom, but hero and tbere it Is still done. The common dress worn by the children, and oven by the men aad women, isn't a dress at all. but Is a coat and a pair of trousers. They are all cut on the same pattern and aro very plain In cat The coat fastens on the side and has a narrow, high collar; the sleeves are long and the trousers come about In the ankles. These clothes and even their sandals .are almost always made at home. la winter, they wear heavily quilted coats and when they feel void, they never think of putting on an overcoat because they don't have any, so they just pat .on another one of these coats. One woman counted the collars of these coats on one man once in winter and there were seven. The men sometimes fear fur-itnod ones, too. The most common color, is the beautiful Chinese blue, a bright though rather dark shade. This is one of the most successful dyes that the Chinese make. The Chinese booses are very attractive, because of their roofs that curve gracefully upward at the edges. The windows are usually of paper, but it is very heavy paper and keeps out the cold winds very welL They live a great deal on cereals, especially rice and millet A big howl of rice is put on the table and that Is supposed to take the place of bread. Millet cooks up something like our oat meal, only it is a beautiful yellow color. They have lots of eggs and chickens, bnt very little butter and milk. For their finest dinner. Instead of turkey, they have Peking duck, which are raised and fed very carefully. All of the Chinese drink a great deal of tea, aways unsweetened, and from cups that do not hare handles. There .are a good many different kinds of schools and the boys and girls usually go to separate schools. Master David Worth Dennis, six year old grandson of Mrs. Dennis, with his parents and little sister is now living just fifteen miles outside of Peking, China. They have several little friends there; among whom are two boys, named Peking and Paris (from the places where they were born), aged seven and four years respectively. There mother is the daughter of a Viceroy, who is a very important

man in China.. , But that doesn't affect the boys in the least; they are Just as lively and just as fond of playing as boys in America. They spend a great deal of their time flying kites in the court which is in the center of. their house. - Peking doesn't go to school. Instead he has a Master, or tntor, who comes to his home and teaches him his characters, by which he learns to read. In winter, they skate a great deal as there is always plenty of Ice, and they often hold ice carnivals. The Dennis home is typically Chinese, but has some foreign comforts added. The rooms are very large and are placed all around a court The kltehen is removed from the house. Although they are only fifteen miles from the capital, there aro no cars (except a Uny railroad built to a mine) that run back aad forth to Peking. So one bus to decide unless one's father h&B a coach, like David's father has) between walking, riding in a wheel barrow, riding on a donkey, being carried in a Sedan chair (which is carired by two men) or in a Rickshaw, which Is the nickname for Jinrickshaw, which looks much like a big baby .cab and is pulled by one man. The charge for carrying a person In a Rickshaw is something like ten cents a mile. Foreigners, however, have brought a good many automobiles to China. There are many perfectly beautiful temples in China, which are dedicated to their Idols (for the greater part of the children of China do not know about God or Jesus and so they pray and give thanks to odd-shaped little figures made of gold, or wood or stone. These temples are used on several days of the Chinese month as places to hold big fairs. The Chinese like music, too, and the common people play a great deal on their native instruments, marking the rhythm very distinctly. Many Chinese that have had more advantages, have studied abroad on foreign Instruments, especially the piano. Although the spoken language varies so in the different parts of the country, the printed language is always the. same. There are newspapers, but as a rule, the books are scarce and the common people do not read very much. They have great respect for the written word, and will never step on paper with writing on, because something important might be written there. The Chinese make beautiful hand work, as rugs, embroidery, drawn work, and all sorts of gorgeous things, sometimes spending a lifetime on some one magnificent piece. Like many of the Eastern countries, China uses a great deal of symbolism as yet Every figure or design in their rugs and tapestries has Borne meaning. Their country isn't an important part of their life as yet although they have recently formed a Republican form of government and that is a big step toward a finer national life. They have a great deal of reverence for their flag, which is,

S. SOLDIERS , made up of five stripes of different colors, . and all have a meaning. Red stands for benevolence, yellow for righteousness, blue for propriety, white for wisdom and black for fidelity. China is still sloeping. Her people, when they have had the chance to go to school, have proved unusually intelligent, even brilliant, and are honest, efficient and capable in the things they do; and when China wakes np and organizes her people, she will have a great deal to give to the development of the world. Query Corner The editor will try to answer questions readers of the Junior submit to her. She will not promise to answer all of them. The Questions win be answered! in rotation, se do not expect the answer to be printed in the tfame week is which you send it In. What is my name? B. B. Dear B. B.: I ran my hands through my hair in feverish nervousness and pondered. First I thought of Big Ben, but I knew that was an alarm clock. Then I thought of Brown Betty, but that was something good to eat and I know you could never have lived this long, if yon had been named after something so good. So at last I thought of Billy Brady, which must be your name.' Now, isn't it? Aunt PoUy. Dear Aunt Polly: How many children has the kaiser? What was his wife's last name before she was married? Thank you. . Dorothy Johnson. Dear Dorothy: The wife of the former kaiser didn't really have any last name as we have. For princesses last names, the name of their father and the land he rules, is used instead. So her name before she was married was Princess Augnste Victoria, daughter of Friederick, duke of Augustenbarg and claimant of Schleswig-Holstein. They had six sons and one daughter. Their names are Wilhelm, who was the Crown Prince, Eitel Friederick, Adalbert August Wilhelm, Oskar, Joachim and Viktoria Luise. Aunt Polly. Charlie Chaplin, when he went to school, was asked to stay in after school and write a composition of fifty words. This is what he wrote: Edna and Hilda liked kittens. One day they went out and called, "Pussy, pussy, pussy, pussy, pussy, pussy, pussy, pussy, pussy, pussy, pussy, pussy, pussy, pussy, pnssy, pussy, pussy, pussy, pussy, pussy, pussy, pussy, pussy, pussy, pussy, pussy, pnssy, pussy." Dorothy Johnson, Age 12, White School.

"You can't fool me," said Fritzy a with hands above his head, Uuerringly nach Paris he was beiri gently led; 'You may have U. S. on your shi and all the other track, But you're a. Scot." The Yank r plied, 'Wrong, Fritz; you a outer luck!"

"You're warm," the Yank respond ed, "but I'm from the State Maine. You may have done some sinkinl but you didn't get our ship; Your subs were absent minui leave; we had a pleasant trip.'! The Fritzy and the Heine got tc gether in the cage; Comparing notes, they cussed and swore and had a lovely rage.
