"FOR EAST IS EAST" SAYS WRITER ABOUT PEKING CHINAMEN

; . CJ. O. P. Bland in the National j Review, London.) The stretch of the Peking city wall which lies between he chienmen and '.he I lata gate, ever memorable for the legations' grim struggle with the Boxers, remains, as of old, the spot where the foreigner takes his constitutional In dignified seclusion, no Chinese being allowed to intrude thereon. Here, of an afternoon, you may see the pillars of many states discussing the destinies of nations and the latest gossip cf the diplomatic world. Beneath, the distant aspect of the city with Its wide expanse of low buildings screened by trees, where the yellow roofs of the palace and the great towers of the main gates glisten and glow in the setting sun, is much the same scene as the European gazed From the marts and markets of the Western barbarian camped yonder on the Anting plain. Close under the wall to the southward, the canal runs, as of yore, still flanked by garbage heaps, stinking to heaven; beyond the railway line you may catch a glimpse of camel trains, slowly wending their wonted way toward the western hills. From the marts and marets of the Chienmen - quarter rises the vague murmur of innumerable buyers and sellers, and in the ' distance, to the northwest, a little yellow cloud tells of the coming of a sand laden wind. Nothing Is Changed. Everything in the distance Is unchanged; it is only here, beside us on the wall, that one is reminded of time and the hour, and of all the things that have happened . to China since first we trod these ancient, weatherbeaten bricks. Here you see a group of Italian airmen, beautiful creatures all covered with medals, pleasantly engaged for some weeks past in killing time (not lo speak of ladies) while they wait for the much-advertised coming of D'Annunzio. And here are two interesting specimens of the youngest of Young China recently returned from an American university with nice young American wives. There is nothing particularly new or strange in this particular manifestation of the results of Western learning, and the pathos of it is an old story: "Alas, regardless of their doom, the little victims play!" Today, arm in arm, they walk upon the wall, with eyes that see not, strangers to both the worlds in which they move, but dimly feeling already their inevitable destiny of tragiv isolation. Ten years hence, no doubt, she will be back in God's Own Country, with a working knowledge of the East, and he will be the center of an Oriental "menage" conducted on the patrlarchial system. For East is East and West is West, and If, In the false dawn, they seem to meet, before the sun sets each must ga his destined way. For such is the law, pre-ordained.

Regular Saving Brings Happiness to Persons (From the Ohio State Journal.) There are those who scoff at pennies and decline to count them as money, but there is one woman in Columbus who will have a $50 Liberty bond on Christmas that was purchased with pennies. That bond will represent a bit of domestic thrift. One year ago she decided to lay aside all pennies collected in ordinary business affairs, the other member of the household to do the same. Without special effort the pennies increased in numbers so rapidly the $50 bond could be bought. In a city not far from Columbus Is a professional man with a savings bank account of which he is intensely proud. Fifteen years ago, when he began business In the city a young man just out of college, he opened a savings account on the Monday when he opened his office, making a deposit of one dollar. Each Mopday since he has added at least one more dollar. Saves Dollar Regularly. For months the dollar was about all he could spare, but he never failed to I-ut it away. As business developed he increased his deposit each week. When bad debts were paid he put them into the savings, when special good fortune came his way a portion was added. As a result of this savings habit the account now has a balance well above $5,000. He has developed a good business, has a nice home, owns his own car and ' enjoys life, but each Monday he puts in the savings account one or more dollars. He says lie is as pioud of it today as when he had his first do'lar. or when the savings first reached the $100 mark. One mechanic in Ohio profited by the large pay and bonus system during the war. He was paying for a

home on the monthly payment plan He paid into the home all the bonus money received and all the overtime money earned. There was a goodly amount of both. He kept up the regular payments in addition to the special sums paid and at the end of the war was nearly three years ahead of his contract requirements with payments. It isn't the saving of large sums that makes people rich, but the regular saving of small sums, the cultivation of the habit of systematic thrift.

ART IS ARCHITECTURE SAYS BRITISH ARTIST

(From St Louise Globe-Democrat) Our American art is architecture, so says a British painter, who has looked on New York in her skyscraping glory. And, apparently, we don't know it. It ha3 not occured to us that the cloud-capped towers, the gorgeous palaces that crown our cities from the Atlantic to the Pacific, are the expression of the same inspiration that in other ages revealed itself in paintings and sculpture. These are our monuments, reared by money, hxx-. not. to glorify money. They were piled story on story to express the sense of grandeur which pervades populations grown to millions in number within a century. We do not need no economize space in a 'and of magnificent areas. Chicago. Cleveland, St. Louis, Minneapolis, have vast prairies to spread into, ?nd New York itself can "go as far as it likes" toward Connecticut and Albany. But we send up these architectural skyrockets to relieve our pent-up feelings to show off and what is that but art?

VIRGINIA PEANUT CROP The Virginia-North Carolina crop of Virginia type peanuts will not exceed from 75 to 90 per cent, according to agricultural department reports. The percentage of jumbos or large size peanuts Is much below the average year's ratio. This is due to weather conditions, and will make a much larger percentage of fancy than usual. As a result, a wide range exists between the price of jumbo and of fancy handpicked stock.

Paris Streets Renamed In Honor of Veterans From the London Times More renaming of Paris thorougnrares In honor of the artisans of victory Is to take place. The Avenue du Bois de Boulogne will become the "Avenue Foch." The road which continues this revenue

as far as the lakes in the Bois de j Boulogne is to be called the "Avenue j

du Marechal (Petain." The Cours dej Vincennes will be called the "Avenue j du Marechal Joffre," and part of thej Boulevard Raspail ia to be renamed , the "Boulevard du President Poln-j care." j No decision has been arrived at inj

regard to the street or avenue which is !

to bear the name of M. Clemenceau. Some members of the municipal council was to give the ex-premier's name to the Avenue Henri Martin. Others prefer the Rue Franklin. In which M. Clemenceau has lived for many years. The famous airman Pegoud is also to have a street named after him. By a decision of the Paris city council, the name of M. Venizelos will be given to one of the streets of the capitol.

GOOD MONEY FOR GOOD ROADS The government assists In the construction of federal-aid roads, and according to officials of the United States department of agriculture, about $160,000,000 of federal money Is now available for the construction of these roads. The money Is divided among the states on the basis of their area, population and mileage of post roads and star routes; and the states are required to match the government appropriation dollar for dollar. On this basis the federal money now available will assist in the building of about $350,000,000 worth of roads.

Vaccinated Service Men Escape Typhoid Plague The percentage of deaths in the Salem. Q., typhoid epidemic, which has been practically stamped out by measures taken under the leadership of the American Red Cross, has been held to 2.6, whereas in all previous epidemics of that disease the rate has soared to 10 per cent or over. To the excellent nursing service the typhoid patients have received in Salem, Dr. John Christian, noted medical authority of Johns Hopkins university, attributes this striking accomplishment. ,, Up to Dec. 7 the total number of cases was 855, or nine percent of the population. Of this number 170 patients were cared for in the emergency hospitals. Four hundred cases remain, with 125 nurses continuing visiting and hospital service. The value of innoculation against typhoid was demonstrated in the Salem epidemic by the fact that of 350 exservice men only three were taken ill. The percentage of sickness rate for men of draft age was only about onehalf of the normal rate. The cases in Salem were uniformly

distributed over the town, proving con-1 flusivelv that the nennlp wpre int'potpfl I
