Ten Have just Arrived in Addition
to Those Already
There.

Madison. The enrolment of Chi
nese students at the University OF
Wisconsin has been materially In
creased by the recent arrival Of ten
students direct from the orient.
There are now some thirty men from
that country over the sea who are
pursuing courses ir the Badger insti-
tuition, many of them being in the
engineering college.
The newcomers, including some of
the most intelligent young men IN
China, come to America as the result
of the boxer indemnity, and have as
their mission the requirement OF
modern methods for Introduction in
to the progress Of their own country.
The recent arrivals are members
of a group of 400 students who are
educated by the United States every
year. The fund from which the ex-
penses of the young men are paid is
the indemnity due the United States
as a result of the boxer rebellion.
The government at Washington set
aside the indemnity fund for the
education of Chinese students in
American universities.
Every year competitive tests, SIM
liar to the Rhodes Oxford examina-
lions are held, and thousands OF
young men compete. The tests are
so severe that only a very capable
student ever reaches the United
States. The students come from all
ranks, the majority from the middle
classes and the lesser nobility, al
though some of the representatives
of the lower classes are able to get
in by enduring privatiOns which
would battle any except the most am
bilious.
In the American universities the
young Chinese take all sorts Of
courses Perhaps the majority take
the engineering work, but an almost
equal number are entered in the
schools of economics and the social
sciences.
Those students who have been at
Wisconsin during the last few years
are very keen over the progress
which is reported from their father
land. They find that great and sig
nificant changes are taking place.
Most of all, perhaps, is the way the
national spirit of China is growing
China for the Chinese. China as a
strong nation is the new hope and
effort of the young men, although
only the higher classes Sc far have
awakened to this spirit.

Which Do You Like Worst7
This is the greatest known way for
undecided people to make up their
minds
None but strong minded woman
can ever decide which of two or three
hats she likes "the BEST" particular
~ II they are all comely.
Popular bellies have been known to
have similar troubles with their
sweethearts. Which do like best is
often momentous question.
Why not try the other way?
Decide which, of men, or hats, or
attractive dates" you like the worst,
and then proceed to eliminate.
From there you can factor out In
the grade of desirability, until you
actually find yourself at decision,
because 1t, whatever 1t Is, Is the only
one left.
The process is delightfully."- simple.

PERFECTS A NEW ENGINE
Gasoline Traction Engine invented
by George w. Morris, Racine,
Declared Best Ever Built.

Racine.-George w. Norris, for
merly superintendent of the J. 1. Case
Threshing Machine company, has per-
fected four-cylinder gasoline trac-
ton engine which is declared by
manufacturers of farming implements
to be the best ever built.
To operate the engine for a day,
only a small quantity of gasoline is
required and there is no danger of
sparks setting fire to the crops The
engine was given test and pulled
ten John Deere plows,. each fourteen
inches wide, turning over a strip of
land 40 inches wide and from six to
eight inches deep 1t is believed that
a corporation will be organized here
for the manufacture of the new
engine.

BIG POWERFUL
At MAR|NETIE
WILL FURNISH ELECTRICITY
FROM MENOMINEE RIVER
RAPIDS.
AID TO NORTHERN CITIES
Low Rate Asked Has Brought Man
ufacturing Companies to Mar
inette and Others are Look
ing for Sites.

Marinette-With the turning on
of the power from the new electrical
plant at Grand Rapids, eighteen
miles north of Marinette, the first
big power of the Menominee river
was diverted from waste into what
it is believed to be source of reven-
ue for those that own it and a chief
factor in the development of Mari
nette and Menominee as manufac-
turing cities.
1t is estimated that the Menominee
river and it's branches are capable
of furnishing $4,000 horsepower.
The waterpower which has been de-
veloped was estimated at 5000
horsepower, and in reality has de-
veloped about $3.50 horsepower. 1t
was turned on and is now running
the Marinette & Menominee Light
and Traction company's street cars,
and furnishing all electrical power
for the two cities. The company
now claims to offer the lowest rate
for heavy users Of electrical power
of any plant in the entire country.
1D1S IdCG has dlTCdQy ISSultSo IL
several new manufacturing institu-
tions locating here, and others are
negotiating for sites The company
prefers to offer this rate and get man
ufacturers to use electrical power
rather than to have a part of the
power they are able to generate at
little expense be unused.
The power plant property occupies
a building of concrete and steel go
feet wide and 120 feet long and is
a marvel of solidity and efficiency.
It's equipment embraces water
wheels, electric generators and aux
iliary power apparatus. The gen
orators are four in number with a
rated capacity of $500 horsepower,
but they are capable of producing
far more than this is necessary. Ad-
jacent to the power house, is the
transformer house, also Of concrete
and steel construction, in which are
located the transformers which raise
the generated current of 1900 volts
to $4,000 volts From the trans
former house the current is trans
mitted by means of three copper
wires to Marinette and MenOminee,
where the voltage is reduced to q
200 and the current is distributed
at the strength for the production
of the light and power for two cities.

STATE LAW
VIOLATION ALLEGED.
LAW WHICH PROHIBITS MORE
THAN EIGHT HOURS
WORK
STOP CONSTRUCTION WORK
Litig ation>is Started BY NJ. e. Valid
schaky, President of the Mad
ison Federated Trades
Council

Madison.-Alleged violation of the
state law which prohibits workmen
employed in the construction OF any
public building from working more
than eight hours a day caused the
issuance of temporary injunction
against the continuance of the work
upon the addition to the engineering
building at the University OF Wiscon-
sin.
The ligitation was started by M. E.
Waldschaky, president of the Madison
Federated Trades council, follows the
alleged discovery that T. C. Mccarthy,
the contractor for the addition, is
working some of his men ten hours
day.
The defendants in the action are
the board of regents of the university,
w. D. Hoard as president of the
board, Secretary of State James A.
Frear, State Treasurer A. H. Dahl and
Contractor T. C. Mccarthy. The tenn
porary Injunction not only orders that
construction work be stopped, but
President Hoard and Secretary Frear
are restrained from auditing and
State Treasurer Dahl from paying
anything to Mccarthy on his contract.
1t is not known whether any at
tempt will be made by any of the de-
PENDANTS to resist the injunction on
the ground that the 8-hour law is
unconstitutional, but this is doubted.
1t is more likely that the board of
regents will seek to uphold it's form
Of contract, holding that it is incum-
bent upon the contractor to see that
the law is obeyed. The work alleged
to be going On on the ten-hour basis
is being performed by sub-con-
tractor under Mccarthy
