NEW PHILIPPINE SEAL.
The ArunoriaI Device Adopted
the Insular Governments.

The ArlnoriaI Device Adopted by
the Insulnr Government.
Several years ago, writes a Washing
ton correspondent, French q. Chad
wick discovered that the great seal Of
the United States had been heraldical-
ly faulty for hundred years. and
forthwith the design was corrected by
experts and new die was cut for the
State Department. This led to a study
Of the devices used by the other Fed
eral Departments, and new designs
were soon made for the Army and
Navy and for the customs service Of
the Treasury. Even the flag of the
President had to be altered. The ex-
perts who were consulted in these
cases about the same time devised
a new coat-of-arms for Porto Rico and
a new, seal, which gave some indica-
ton that the island had passed from
Spanish sovereignty to that of the
United States. In the last few months,
however, Porto Rico has abandoned

WINDOW SHADE HOLDER.

An Ohio man has devised an entirely
new idea in shareholders, an illus
tration Of which we show here. His
holder has quite a few advantages in
that it can be changed to fit any ordi-
nary window frame without destroy
ing its future usefulness in case of
change of residence with change in
size of window frame. The body of
this holder is made Of a bar divided
in the centre, the two parts being
adjustably attached to u grooved hinge
by means of thumbscrews passed
through slots in the hinge plates. On
one side of the slots are projecting
teeth or a roughened surface to pre-
vent the bar from slipping by undue
pressure. On the ends of the bars
are pivoted metal heads, having rough
ened surfaces, which bear against the
window frame when the holder is in
place. Projecting from the ends of the
bars are adjustable journals, to hold
the shade rollers and are held in place
and regulated by thumbscrews. To
put the holder in place in the window
frame, the bars are first adjusted so
as to tighten it in the window frame.
Then the heads are placed in the corn
ers Of the frame by holding the bars
with both hands. BY pressing up
ward the holder is Immediately sprung
firmly in place. Next the journal
bearings for the shade roller are ad-

GIRLS LURED 10 CHINA
Americans and Canadians Held as
captives in Shanghai.


Chicago, TlI,-Trafic in American
and Canadian girls between Chicago
and Chinese ports in under investiga-
ton by the Federal immigration Bu-
reau and the local police. 1t is charged
that two women in this city, who have
agents in Shanghai and Hong Kong,
induce the girls to make the trip by
telling OF: fabulous sums they can earn
as maids in wealthy Chinese families.
AS further bait the applicant for the
position is told that her travelling and
living expenses win be paid and all
necessary clothing furnished. When
the women reach China they are placed
under guard and sent to the purchas-
ers. Many are supposed TO be held in
palaces of wealthy Chinese.
1T is true this sort Of thing has been
going on for some time," said Chief
Collins. II have detectives working
now, and expect to do something be-
fore long. The information came to
me from Washington hrst, and took
up the case with the Government Off
cals here, but they could do nothing.
This traffic has been going on for
years."
Chicago authorities have the names
Of about fifty girls who have been
sold. Hilda Olson, twenty years old
is said to have committed suicide on
reaching Shanghai, where the price for
girls is from $500 to $500. James L.
Rodgers, American Consul at Shang-
hal, has enlisted the cooperation of
English and Chinese authorities in the
securing ,of evidence Of the traffic.
Three French Canadian girls from
Montreal were sent from Chicago to
Shanghai recently. Two Of the girls
escaped from their captors after arriv-
ing, and sought refuge in resort FREE
quented by American and English sail
ors. They told an officer Of the Ameri-
can Navy their experiences, and about
the fate Of their former companion.
Aside from the two women about
whom a web Of evidence has been
woven, trace has been secured of sew
eral others who make annual pilgrim
ages from the Far East as recruiting
agents for wealthy Chinese merchants,
traders and officials. Not only the
dissoiute are gathered, but immature
and inexperienced girls are employed
as Secretaries" and travelling COM
panions."
Exposure of the traffic was made by
complaint of the sale of Louise Miller.
a girl from Montreal, to the agent of a
Chinese official in Shanghai. The names
Of ten young women who have disap-
peared from homes in Chicago and
other American cities and were shipped
to Shanghai are in the possession of
Inspector J. w. Burst, of the Chinese
Immigration Bureau.
For prosecution and punishment the,
Government agents say they must rely
on the police and State authorities, be-
cause there is no national law against
the traffic.
