LAO YANG, Sept. l5.-The Chi
nese city of Lao Yang is the largest
and most interesting place We have
seen in our six weeks northern
march. Next to Mukden, the ancient
capital of Manchuria, which We hope
to see within a very short time, it is
the largest Chinese city in Man
churia.
Lao Yang is more than a mile
square and, like every other city or
village we have seen, 1t is surrounded
by an immense wall of brick about
SO feet high. 1t is fully so feet thick
at the bottom and at least 20 at the
top. That a wall like this is still a
good protection to a city is shown by
the fact that number of Japanese
shells hit the walls during the two
days fighting before the city and did
no more than crumble the outside
layer Of bricks. OF course, these
shells were. in way, spent, but the
small damage they did shows that

samensss, Even to Smells.
All Chinese towns seem to be alike,
at least all that l have seen. There
are the same people. the same build
ings, the same shops, the same un-
paved streets, and, above all. the
same smells. 1t is hard to describe
a town like Lao Yang. If you have
seen a Chinese town you don't need
any description Of this one: II you
haven't, no one can give you the
slightest idea Of 1t. OF course. the
walls, with the tall pagoda-like gate
ways, one on each side of the town
In the wall around Lao Yang two
or three breaches have been made in
each direction to facilitate the traffic
in and out of the city, but the great
gates still retain all their glory.
4 Wilderness Of Roofs.
Inside one finds low houses and mar
row streets. II you look at the city
from the top Of the wall you will
see nothing but a wilderness of tile
roofs, each one like every other one.
They are all low gables and they all
have very sharp ridge poles turned
up at the ends. If you enter Lao
Yang from the north gate you find
yourself in the swell residence dis
trict. You know they are swell resi-
dences because OF the size Of the
compounds and Of the gates. for you
don't see anything of the houses
themselves. Every house in China,
at least every one I have seen, is
built around three sides Of small
square, the fourth side, that towards
the street, being high wall pierced
by only one opening, a great gate.. In

Anomalies Of Trade.
The shops are not easy to distin-
guish; it is almost impossible for a
stranger to know where to buy
things. For instance, If you want
writing paper you are sure to find it
in a shop where leaf tobacco is ex-
hibited in the doorways; if you want
candles you will almost surely find
them in tin store.
Among the most interesting sights
are the street bakeries. They are
large two-wheeled carts, most of
them, and the baker stands behind a
small charcoal fire on which rests
large shallow pan. He rolls out a
piece of yellow dough, spreads a bit
of grease over it and pops it into the
pan. The result Ia large thin cake
for all the world like a badly cooked
German pancake. From the number
of these which you see on the streets
you are led to believe that all the
Cinnamon in Manchuria must spend
every minute of their time eating
these strange cakes.
Japs Create q Change.
There has been a great change in
Lao Yang street life since the Jap
anese army occupied the town. Now
the crowds of hurrying Cinnamon are
almost outnumbered by the strolling
Japanese soldiers. The street stalls
have also changed character. At al
most every one of them you will find
Japanese beer. Japanese cigarettes,
japanese tooth powder and a dozen
other things which will tempt the
elusive sen from the pocket of the
soldier. The Cinnamon are born mer-
chants and they offer to the soldier
cheap photographs of Japanese girls
like the ones left at home and which
we'll tanned dog skins which will keep
him warm during the cold days and
nights.
Women shun the Streets.
The most noticeable thing in Chi
nese town is the almost entire alb
sence of women from the streets.
You may walk through Lao Yang for
hours and never see a woman, or if
you do. she will be old and ugly. If,
| by chance, you see one who is less
than 60 Years Old-haye seen two In a
fortnight-she goes by as rapidly as
possible with her eyes averted. The
Manohurian women do not bind their
feet, but they wear frightful head
dresses and really, after seeing one
or two Of them, you wouldn't care
IL you never saw another.

Pacific Low extends well inland, over

1T is plain that the swinging Of

Ell PASO. Tex, Nov. 1s.-The sec
ond days session of the twelfth an
nual convention of the National Irri-
cation congress opened with an in
creased attendance.
The days program was full Of
promise, many interesting papers be-
ing scheduled in the several sections.
The subjects for the day were PRO
duction by Irrigation" on which the
principal papers were read by w. J..
Spillman of the department of agri-
culture and Professor Thomas Shaw
of St. Paul, MINI.
In the engineering and mechanics
section W. C. Mendenhall discoursed
interestingly on Underground Wa
tiers of Southern California" giving
practicable ideas on the bringing of
adequate supply to the surface.
Professor A. C. Meade of the Pa
cific coast weather bureau addressed
the "Climatology" section on wet
and Dry Seasons in California and
Arizona" He said in part:
Wet and Dry Seasons.
1.-The country mentioned above has
been somewhat POLITICALLY called THE
Land of Little Rain; but to one
travelling in this section during the
months of August and September of
the curren year the Characterization
given must seem out of keeping with
the general appearance of the soil.
Probably not within recorded history
have such heavy and frequent rains
been reported. Day after day,
throughout the so-called arid region,
especially in the mountains, thunder
CURED. AS there is little or no forest
covering, brush or grass to hold back
the flaw. the runoff was both rapid
and destructive.
Without further delay let us agree
upon the fact that seasons differ, that
there are well marked wet and dry
periods, and that If 1t were possible
to forecast upon a scientific basis,
of course) the general character of
an impending season the achievement
would be one of immeasurable value
to all who live in the southwest.
Causes there must be for these
marked variations in seasons, and
causes which we believe will yet be
understood by man; but not yet are
these known.
I'VE have, however, been able to de-
tect a general relation between the
permanent PRESSURE movements and
the general character of the seasons.
