HOW they WATER The
STREETS IN CHINA
(By United Press)

SHANGHAI, Aug. ID. - The
watering of the streets in China is
still very primitive business. The
water is first drawn up in baskets
from wells by means of a rope and
pulley. This sounds somewhat
ridiculous, but the baskets" are
very closely woven and when wet
form thoroughly serviceable YES
sells, possessing the valuable quail
ity of lightness. The water is next
carried in wooden tubs and dis
tributed by men armed with basket
ladies attached to long wooden
handles. with which they splash
"spoonfuls" of fluid over the dusty
streets. The crude machinery is
all the more astonishing when one
reflects that the Chinaman is ex-
tremely clever in mechanical
way. He is, however, inherently
conservative, and sticks to old
methods on principle, even though
common sense tells him they are
absurd.
