/ China, stopped in Japan on their way,
and Mrs. Dadisman's parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. G. H. Griggs, have received an
! interesting letter from her, and a
| package of curios. With the articles
she sent was one of the new Chinese
| flags that are out in all the towns
where there are any number of Chi
| nese people. The flag is made of five
wide bars of red, yellow, blue, white
| and black, signifying the union of all
| peoples represented in the empire, I'M
der the new republic The red is the
| sign of the ancient Chinese, the yell
low is for the Manchus, the blue for
the Mongolians, white stands for Tibet
and the black is for the Mohamme-
dams. The new flag was put out first
on the birthday anniversary of Abra-
! ham Lincoln.
| The package contained also a pair
| of Japanese shoes and stockings. The
shoes are oblong blocks of wood set up
| from the ground on two strips of
wood. one across the ball of the foot,
I the other supporting the heel. It
Is kept on the foot by heavy cord
running from the toe of the shoe to
the instep each side. The stocking
is of heavy canvas, and cord on the
shoe divides the large toe from the
other toes, holding it out straight, and
so far is an improvement on the foot
wear of civilization, which deforms
what it is designed to protect, raising
a bumper corn crop and making the
suffering member look more like an
ASA Ssins knotted cudgel than a hui
man foot.
Mr.. Dadisman has taken service in
China for six years as Y. NJ. c. a.
secretary. Mr.. and Mrs. Dadisman
are both graduates of Washburn col
lege. and both are quite we'll known
