CONDEMM U < MINKSK DKINK WINE, PRE\( M TO < ROWl> PEIPING, (UP) — Public executions are of such common occ. rience

in Peiping as to escape almost all mention in the press. Scvera' times a week this sumer the ominous “Black Baria” has lumbered across the Bridge of Heaven to the execution ground just opposite the gate to the famed Tenipe of Heaven There, on a dusty plot against the ancient wall of the Altar of Agriculture, a man, sometimes two or three, is dragged out with his aims tightly bound behind the back. On the principle of the “last meal,” the condemned men usua’ly are allowed all the wine they want before taking their short walk. This has varying effects. Some strut with alcoholic bravado; some orate dramatically to the ever-pres*mt crowd; some stumble along confusedly, held up by their guards. A favorite trick is to address a long harangue to the crowd, usually enjoining the audience not to follow in whatever particular footsteps of crime have h i the condemned man tv his present journey’s end The sense of the dramatic in all Chinese often carries these men away on the flights of their own eloquence. The crowd usually is generous with applause. Then comes the short march to the wall. The condemned man is made to kneel upn ht facing the wall. A single soldier with a short large caliI ber rifle steps up close behind and fires at the back of the head. The I superintending official places a black check mark opposite the man’s j name and the body is placed in a I cheap coffin The crowd disperses. There are variations. Sometimes j the executions are not public especially if the condemned man was tried by a court martial A* these I it is reported the criminal must have | a sum ready to brine the executioners | to shoot him in the head. One povj erty stricken young soldier writhed on the ground with seven bullets in j his body before receiving the coup de j grace. When a particularly notorious > criminal is to be executed he is often j paraded through the streets in an | open cart. And always th” condemnI ed man has a three-foot bamboo i wand stuck in his jacket-roller, holding above his head a piece of white cloth inscribed with his name and crime.

“Miss America” Contest Again Lures Beauties

'•mm Dollv Mary Steward

Tommy Marie Peck

Hilda Veale

The fame they win may be fleeting but that doesn’t keep America's perennial crop of beauties from lining up again in the hope of being crowned “Miss America, 1936'' in this year's bathing beauty contest in Atlantic City the week of Sept. 8. In addition to the honor of being the nation's No. 1 beauty for a year, the winner is promised a stage tour and possibly a movie contract. With few exceptions, however, the winners learn that. It takes more them a pretty face and a shapely figure

to win lasting fame in the movies or on the stage, and they soon retire to private life and obscurity. But that fact doesn’t worry the 1936 contestants, nor will it worry next year's crop of beauties. Contests will go on and on as long as there is someone to sponsor them. Among those competing for the throne vacated by lovely Henrietta Leaver, last year’s winner, are Tommy Marie Peck, "Miss Alabama"; Dolly Mary Steward, “Miss Maine" suid Hilda Veale, "Miss Georgia ”, above.

try’ of a steel Is all important has led many consumers to analyze a steel which exactly suited their purpose, and then to demand steel of precisely this composition, with respect to the elements commonly de termined by analysis,” Tohnsten said “But this has not solved the consumers’ problem, and has had the disadvantage of leading to i* great multiplicity of nominal steel compositions, a number of which is certainly 5 times, possibly 10 times, ns great as it need be to cover every purpose satisfactorily. “It would be to the at vantage of everyone to lessen the total number of nominal compositions, many of which arc now so similar that they can be distinguished onlv by wellmado chemical analyses.” MODERNIZE YOUR HOME The machinery is at your command here in your county at your door- ! step. Every home owner who needs j this belief and contentment should | take advantage of the opportunities [ offered, through the medium of the banks, building supplies dealers and j contractors, who are offering complete cooperation. In the past two years 26 per cent ! of all home mortgages have been inI sured by the government under tho > Title II of the National Housing Act. The American home is the shadow of the sacrifice and frugality of American men anil women. The FHA program carries a ray of sunshine and is inseperable from the American institution of the home. “House Everybody” is the salutation adopted by the field force throughout the state, a play on words but expressing adequately the idea behind the FHA program. So “House everybody’ ’is our salu-
