MINISTER TO CHINA
Charles R. Crane Educated
Without Aid of College.
Has Visited Nearly Every Country on
the Globe and Is Master OF Sew
eraI Lansuases-WeIi Ac-
quainted with Orient.

Chicago.-Charles R. Crane, newly
appointed minister from the United
States to China. is rare type of citi-
zen in that he was born to wealth and
yet may be classed in the roll of self
made men. He was reared with the
idea that a college education Is not
essential to the life success of a man
who has brain of his own and uses
1t. His schooling ended when he had
done with the public school. What he
has gathered of learning since then
has been from books and from the
world and its people as they have ap-
peared to him in extensive travel.
Richard T. Crane. Sr., father Of
Charles r.. Crane, is vigorously OPP
posed to modern methods of education
as carried on in the great universities
and many of the public schools. He
does not believe these institutions fit
a man properly for the battle of life.
and says they are too theoretical and
not sufficiently practical. He went so
far as to declare 1t would be a good
thing for one of the states II its state
university buildings were blown up.
Whether Charles r. Crane shared
the educational views of his father,
1t is a fact that, instead of spending
four years in college and winning n
degree. he jumped at once from his
boyhood schooling into the workshop
and started the business career which

NOVELTY IN LACE INSERTION
Simple Arrangement by Which Plain

mental Affair.

Lace insertion with both edges dig
playing little scallops appears ON som.
OF the Swiss evening dresses. and,
what is more. In very snowy outlines.
On one dress of Swiss this lace fea-
tured the bretelles over the shoulder.
The two long pieces meet at the waist
line, where belt holds them dow
and they extend in two straight pieces
side by side, to the hem. A lace band
encircles the dress at the hem and
knee lines.
Wide laces with plain edges are made
to produce jacket lines on the one-piece
dress. This arrangement is worth
mentioning, since it really makes
plain dress very ornamental affair.
The straight lines from shoulder to
hip line outline coat edges. At the
extreme edge they form points. ex-
tend straight across the hips and
make single point at the back The
front empiecements pass over the

New York--Mrs. Robert II. Burn

friends went to the Hotel Astor for
afternoon tea. The party was as
signed to a table by the head waiter,
and nice-looking young waiter was
directed to take their order
AS he came across the room Mrs.
Burnham thought she recognized
something familiar about the man

wore mustache, French fashion, and
slight imperial. she was not at all
certain that she had seen him before
II the waiter recognized her he

approached the table and stood, book

Mrs. Burnham got a good look at him
she recognized in him her son, who
had left home several years ago and
of whom no tidings had been received
since.
Mrs. Burnham did not care to make
a mistake and create a scene in the
dining rooms, SO with the others she
calmly ordered what she wanted. The
waiter went away. AS soon as he was
out of sight Mrs. Burnham signaled
to the head waiter. and he went TO
her side.
What is the name of that wait

Roberts, madam" he replied.
Are you quite sure?" asked Mrs.

THE NEW WOMAN

Coffee probably wrecks a greater
Uercentage of Southerners than of
Northern people for Southerners use
it more freely.
The work it does is distressing
enough in some instances; as an Illus
tration, woman of Richmond, Va,
writes:
Il was a coffee drinker for years
and for about six years my health was
completely shattered. l suffered fear
fully with headache and nervousness,
also palpitation of the heart and loss
of appetite.
My sight gradually began to fail
and finally lost the sight of one
eye altogether. The eye was op-
Grated upon and the sight partially

in the other eye.
MY doctor used to urge me to
give up coffee, but was willful and
continued to drink it until finally in a

has made him a man of practical
mind and alert powers of observation
When the opportunity came he in
augurated a program of travel which
sent him to many of the out of the
way places of the world and gave him
an intimate knowledge of affairs pos.
sessed by few men even in these days
of globe trotting.
Mr.. Crane has set foot in nearly
every country on the globe, has pene-
trated to out-of-the-way hooks and cor
ners. has occasionally fitted out cara
vans of his own to explore unfre-
quented lands, and is as much at
home in Russia or China as he is on
his home street in Chicago. He is a
linguist of considerable attainments.
Is connoisseur in paintings, a collec-
tor of old and rare books and. what
Is more, reader of the same. He is
prominent as civic enthusiast and
for years has been a powerful factor
In movements for the advancement of
Chicago commercially, physically and
morally.
During his travels Mr.. Crane spent
much time in China, his business in
terests taking him into every prov
ince. He came into close contact with
all classes of Mongolians. In his
home is large collection of curios of
his many visits to China.
In all his knocking about the globe,
Mr.. Crane was absorbing languages.
In his library in his Michigan avenue
home are books written in dozen
different languages. They are not
sorted according to catalogues as a
less scholarly owner would sort them,
but instead are grouped under sub
1ect heads. Friends of Mr.. Crane say
that when he wants to look up ref
erence on a topic he goes to his
shelves and takes down books in sew
eral different languages and reads
them without the aid of lexicon. He
is said to read 12 languages and to
speak with ease and fiuency six or
eight.
Five years ago Mr.. Crane added
$4,000 of his personal fortune to "The
Young Empress Fund" for Russian
soldiers and sailors. This gift was
made through Count Rostofstoff. chan
cellor of the empire, and for It the
donor was the recipient of grateful
thanks from the empress. Long and
close contact with official and civilian
life of Russia has given him a friendly
feeling toward that nation, but at the
same time he has warm spot in his
heart for China and the Chinese The
feeling is said to be reciprocated. The
Chinese have been drawn to other
members of the family. Professor
Williams. uncle of Mr. Crane. was pro-
fessor of Chinese at Yale and he is
the author of book on China.
Mrs. Crane was Miss Cornelia w.
Smith. whose girlhood home was Pat.

and each community should select a
good man and keep him on this work.
The best man that can be had should be
gotten, and a good salary given to him.
If a man of poor ability happens to get
the place, drop him and secure a better
one. Give him absolute authority as given
a police commission.
New York state sets the other states
good example in this connection. They
have three road commissioners at a SAL
airy of $4,000 per year. Each commits
sioner has his district and a corps of
engineers under him. When county de-
sires TO build a road they communicate
with their commissioner. He puts engi-
neers to work to investigate and If they
report fayorably the road is built under
their supervision. the state bearing two
thirds of the expense and the county
one-third. The expense of these COM
missioners and engineers may appear
heavy but when the amount of money
saved to each county is shown 1t will
be seen that 1t is really an immense saw
ing of actual. money, while the increased
value In roadbuildlng is great. Each COM
missioner has complete authority in his
district. OF course, if the county does
not desire to build a road under his SUI
pervision they can proceed with the work
themselves, but in doing this they fail
to receive the two-thirds cost from the
state.
Maryland has good law on roads.
Half a dozen men can get together. raise
$500, take 1t to the county commissioners
and ask for certain road work The
county must double the amount, making
1t $4,000, and then the state must double
this, making $1,000. With this system
Maryland is rapidly developing into a
state of fine roads
Wide roads and plenty of them are
what we need. Outside of a few states
the roads even when good are a bit too
narrow. Alabama has some splendid
roads, but they should be doubled in
width, the rapid growth of the state de-
manding 1t. Then study out the oil need
ed for them and apply it. You will
really find 1t the cheapest pavement to
be had for country roads, and streets
where the traffic is not unusually heavy.
You people of Birmingham should be
thankful that you have a man of Mr..
McCartins experience in roadbuilding and
his insight into the use of oil. You will
certainly benefit by It,"
