WU TING FANG TELLS OF
MARRIED LIFE IN CHINA
Asiatc Says Women Are Not Demon
stratlve in Letters to
Husbands

CHICAGO, May S.-Wu Ting Fang
Chinese minister to the United States,
speaking before the Chicago Wellesley
club today, said:
Women in China are not demonstra-
tive in their letters to their husbands.
They don't send their love by mail, but
keep it to themselves. This is but
natural enough, as most women cannot
read or write.
China is reformed now. Schools are
being established for girls. Coeduca-
ton is unknown as yet, but it may
come. On that subject I reserve my
opinion. Segregation in China applies
to brothers and sisters when young.
This barrier surely will be broken down
when we are better advanced.
Already married couples have be-
gun to appear strolling about together;
sometimes a man takes his wife out
for q drive. China is initiating the
western nations more every year.
woman suffrage is out of the ques-
tion in China at present. Woman's s
rights are not even talked of there.
ION general principles I cannot see
why the right of the ballot should not
be granted to women in the United
Stats"

FAMILY AT DINNER FINDS
DIAMONDS IN SUCC0TASH
Gems Worth $125 Each Are Discov-
cred by NeVadans, Who Keep
Discovery Secret

GOLDFIELD, New, May S.-Two
diamond earrings, estimated to be
worth $125 each, were found in a dish
of succotash by Mr.. and Mrs. Ray Rob-
inson of Goldfield while at their even
ing meal Thursday night.
The corn and beans in cans were
bought of a local store some months
ago at a bargain sale. On Thursday
a can of string beans and a can of
corn were made into a succotsh and
served.
Mr.. Robinson bit into a stone, took
it from his mouth, and to his amaze
ment found it to be a diamond. At this
same time another member of the fam
lily chewed upon a gold mounting.
The dinner was broken up and this
family began panning the succotash
for more diamonds and the mate to
the first stone was found.
The find was kept secret until to-
night.
