II the long-kept truce between the
Chinese secret socities or tongs in New
York, Philadelphia, Boston, and San
Francisco may be taken to promise any,
thing. Chiao Chung-tan, who used to be
a schoolmaster in an obscure district in
China, but who now is first secretary to
the Chinese Legation at Washington,
has accomplished that for which he was
sent to this country by China-the final
termination of the murderous tong wars
n the above-named cities.
For more than eight months these
cities have been free from the savage
outbreaks that in the past have resulted

uuesting the diplomats to cut on their
queues. has there been an outbreak in
any of the cities where the dread secret
1ocieties flourish.
A True "Man of the People"
Mr.. Chiao has been with the local mis-
sion OF the Chinese government for
about a year. He does not speak Eng
lish when he can avoid it, as he is just
learning the language. but he has made
himself better known in Washington

Legation and he has many friends who

We are now striving hard to- extend
our organization" says Mrs. Burklin,
the head worker. I'VE want to interest
many more people in Friendship House.
1t Is our aim to. place as many citizens
OF the southeast, on the board of man
ayers as possible, so as to make them
feel that this is their own institution. It
should be made an integral part of the
community, self-supporting II possible
In this way the best results are gained
The Friendship House Association was
formed In April. 1909, and is a continua-
ton of the work begun in 1901 by Miss
Adaline Rochefort and extended by Miss
Ida A Green, both agents of the Asso-
ciated Charities. Rooms were occupied

is why the workers fear bareback
from publicity which emphasizes the
poverty of the communities in which
they work. The self-respecting poor
are self-reliant, and cannot brook the
thought of being the subject of the
ministrations of a Lady Bountiful dis
tributing aims. In fact, every social
settlement enters upon it's work with
a certain barrier of prejudice to break
down.
The summer season at Friendship
House, which is the social center" in
the southeast, at 324 Virginia avenue,
has been notable. So many new roads
to helpfulness have been found.
For example:
A family bread-winner is badly in
jured in an accident and is hustled OF
to the hospital for three weeks. The
distracted wife, with two babes to
keep and larder running low, bravely
faces the situation. She is a good
seamstress. Without wasting an hour.
she consults the young women in
charge of Friendship House, finds that
two days previous an application for
a seamstress was made by Mrs. A,
living in the northwest, and secures
the place. TnlS is Friendship House
supplanting the professional employ
ment agency-performing vital sery-
ice free of charge. - .
Babes Cared For.
Then the next link in the chain of
helpfulness is welded. The wife can
not go to work unless her babes are
cared. for. Friendship House takes
them. shows the delights of its nursery
and kindergarten to them, provides all
the atmosphere of home and all that
a healthy child should have, including
modified milk and medical care If nee
essary. ...
The influence of the three settlement
houses on babyhood is complete topic
in itself. For them the day nursery
has been established, and in the sum-
mer time the little folks are taken out
on short trips to Mount Vernon, Rock
Creek Park, and other points. These
day outings are being extended as far
as the limited resources of Friendship
House and Noel House will permit. Six
or eight areusually taken in party.
The work lis beginning modestly
enough, but its beneficent efforts are
already seen.

milk laboratory was discontinued, it

one, even those who strongly opposed
the scheme at first. A certain amount
had to be paid to the car company for
the use of the cars, but this expense
was balanced by a reduction in the
former collection force. The test was in,
every way successful, and the postmas-
ter is now considering the permanene
installation of the device
The invention has been tested by two
special postal commissions appointed by
the Postmaster General of the United
States, and has been temporarily oper-
ated with success at Des Moines, Iowa,
and Grand Rapids, Mich. In all of tha
cities the people have been delighted
with the invention. Wilmington is tha
most enthusiastic of all cities, as thS
experiment was tried longest there. The
system received the Endorsement of the
postmaster, the general manager of the
Wilmington City Railway Company, tbs
mayor, the common council, and the
board of trade. The board of trade has
commended its use in all cities to ths
national board of trade.
1t is expected that the practicability
of the device will be successfully demon
strated to official Washington at the car
barns tomorrow

was at first feared that the excellent
milk dispensary system in the settle
ment houses would go by the board.
Owing to the philanthropy and the
initiative of George w. Oyster, jr.,
however, modified milk is still sold in
the dispensaries at cost, and the work,
so far from being abolished, is now
being extended. The true significance
of the milk stations at the settlement
houses is best shown in the infant
mortality statistics, of the District
This summer a lot of the younger
boys at Friendship House are using the
gymnasium which was formerly util-
lied as the southeast branch of the
Young Mems Christian Association. So
far as the midsummer weather will

In another month the full extent of
the work at Friendship House, will be
exempliffed at its best. Then the
mothers club plants It's annual pro-
gramme; the women's Bible class, the
kindergarten, the cooking and kitchen
garden, the boys story club, the girls
fancy club, and the music classes, all
open. The educational features of the
settlement houses show how thoroughly
they supplement and re-enforce the
public school system, especially in
practical, helpful service.
There are forty mothers, mostly
widows who are compelled to work.
who leave their children in the care of
Friendship House throughout the day.
In some cases the youngsters are kept
day and night, where mothers can
only reach home from their labor once
or twice week
The social work of the three settlement
houses is now fairly well established, but
the financial basis Of the three institu-
tlons, each of which is conducted inde-
pendently, is by no means on so firm a
basis.
Friendship House is now getting
along on 5000 year. OF this sum, sa25

1--WE are in the position of the burnt
: child that breads the fire." they say,
"and do not want to be misunderstood
by the public. Frequently our work
is written of as a charity. That is a
wrong impression which does US a
great injury. We have no Lady
Bountifuls in our midst; We are not
distributing aims.
There is no point of similarity be-
tween Friendship House, for instance,
and a relief station. We are not sup
plementing the work of the Associated
Charities or the Salvation Army. Our
work is to give helpful and practical
lessons in self-reliance."
The line of demarcation between the
two is sharp and distinct. The social
settlement house asks something in re-
turn for what it gives-in most cases,
a membership fee of 81, from those
with whom every penny counts. 1t is
not sustained by benevolence alone. 1t
represents twentieth century scientific
social effort in its best form. 1t does

1t reduces the infant mortality rate.
Being conducted by experts, it repre-
sents no wasted effort, induced through
aimless sentimentality, and aids only
the worthy poor, to whom it is a
mighty boon in softening the hard strug-
gle for existence.
This is a brief and inadequate way
of characterizing the real work of
Friendship House, in the southeast; Of
Neighborhood House, in the southwest,
and Noel House, in the northeast.
There are no more effective instru-
ments in promoting the public veal.
1t is not their mission to cope with
the slums or with the direst problems
of poverty. They can teach, they can
shed light where light is sorely needed,
and point the way to a practical self
help among those who need it. And
there are thousands of families, fight
ing always close to the margin OF
existence, who need it.
These same families, striving gal
lantly to be self-supporting, resent the
idea of Charity and would have moth
ing to do with a settlement house
which advertised itself as such. That

selected for the transfer of mail to cars
Of different lines. Each discharge and
transfer point would require the services
Of man, but this would necessitate no
additional expense, as the force of letter
carriers now employed to collect mail
from the street boxes would probably be
reduced. 1t Is thought that a reduction
in the number of present box collections
would not Inconvenience the people Of
the city to any extent, as those who
wished quick delivery of letters could
deposit their missives at the nearest
street car crossing. 1t is not intended
that the new system replace the old one,
but merely supplement 1t.
At the collection points. boxes would be
stationed similar in construction to the
collection box, although having a much
wider mouth. As soon as car stops,
according to the system, the mail at
tendant is supposed to place the wide
mouthed box under the car collection
box, and to unlock the door of the latter
which is nothing more than the hinged
side OF the receptacle The door IS opened
and the contents rapidly slide into the
box below. BY actual timing the con-
tents Of the box. can be emptied by this
process in three seconds-before the first
passenger has stepped of the car. The
mail is then transferred to a bag and
assortment.
BY means of the new system there Is
a continuous mail collection. which would
prove OF great value TO business men
and other persons requiring rapid de-
livery of their letters. II the system Is
installed here, boxes for the collection of
packages could easily be constructed on
the same principles as the present ones
are based upon. The invention offers a
field for great improvements and de-
velopments and the efficiency of the
device VIII undoubtedly increase as time
goes on.
Device Not q Novelty.
The device was invented fourteen years
ago, but because of the dread of novelty
postmasters would not until lately con-
slider with any seriousness the invention
of Mr.. McAIlister. Through persever-
ance, however. the inventor, secured the
permission of testing the system in
Wilmington. Del. But when the railway
officials were consulted about the use
of their cars. they refused to even con-
slider the matter. declaring that on the
first day OF operation there would be a
score of persons either killed or injured
by the contrivance.
Mr.. McAllister merely replied that the
postmaster of the city had indorsed the
plan for the temporary installation Of
the system, and that he would like to
discuss the situation with the officials.
A conference was held and the apparatus
was Immediately installed The system
was in operation for thirteen months
and received the Endorsement Of every

Of love. They occupy their leisure with
real community service. OF course. the
trained teachers at Friendship House are
on salary, as would be expected, but the
workers who form the real vital strength

THE REBEL YELL.

A passing account In the press dis
cusses the rebel yell" Naturally, recoi-
lection varies and different combinations
OF letters are given by different men who
heard it often. One old soldier, indeed,
goes so far as to say he does not be-
lieve that there was any such thing;
that different companies would yell any
thing that came handy. and that so it
was with the Union troops. Alas, to
think that while men still live that heard
II, there should be fat contradiction of
a thing that has made such a place in
history as the rebel yell" SO passes the
glory OF this world. One OF the inter-
esting contributions to the subject is by
Mary Johnston in her novel. 1.-The Long
Roll She repeats the .'yelp' at suitable
places throughout the story, and gives
this account of its origin on the battle-
field of Bull Run:
1.-The lost brigade of the Army Of the
Shenandoah. Tooth Infantry, and Beck
hams battery, swept by the Lewis house,
received instructions from Johnson in
person. and advanced against the en-
emy's right flank. Kirby Smith led them.
Heated. exhausted, parched with thirst,
the regiments came upon the plateau.
Not till then did they see the enemy. the

whose voice they had heard at Manassas.
They saw him now, and they yelled rec
ognition. From a thousand dusty
throats came a cry. involuntary, individ-
ual indescribably fierce, high and shrill.
and wild expressions Of anger and per-
sonal opinion. There was the enemy.
They saw him, they yelled-without pre-
meditation, without cooperation, each
man for himself. 'Yaai, yaai! yaai! yaai,
yaaii yaai,' That cry was to be heard on
more than 1000 battlefields. 1t lasts with
the voice of Stentor and with the horn
of Roland. 1t has gone down to history

the cars. but there will undoubtedly be
violations
The point of the entire matter is that
a man can deposit letter when a car
is in motion with much greater facility,
and decidedly less danger, than he can
board the car running at the same rate
of speed.
There is practically no danger involved
in the operation of the system as has
been proved in cities where the device
has been installed. Children have used
the box with as much case and freedom
from danger as adults. The box does
not project very far from the side Of
the car, and there is no more danger
near it than of the running board of a
summer car causing such an accident.
Of 1t striking a pedestrian or vehicle
near 1t. than of the running board of a

There is no difficulty in mailing letters,
as they slide into the box as soon as

Motorcycles to De Used.
1t is planned in the new system to
discharge the mail at the post-office build
ing, or at points near by, from which
the mail could be conveyed to the office
by motorcycles. Points would also be
