zone of China's Great Women"
Nanchang, China.

Nanchang, China.
1t is folks, after all, that count and
perhaps the place where they are
found makes them count far more.
There are many lives in China that
read like fairy tales or tragics found
only in books. Such one is DR..
Ida Kahn, M. D., superintendent of
the woman's hospital in the city of
Nanchang, China. Nanchang is the
capital of the Kiangsi Province en-
closing within it's ancient walls a mil
lion and more of people. Five hun
dred miles from the sea it is as con-
sentative as it is distant from con-
tact with the western world. Stu
ated on the Kan river it compels all
foreigners, excepting missionaries, to
live in house boats outside the walled
city or seek location elsewhere. First
came the representative of the Stand
ard Oil company, but no persuading
would induce the old city to relax her
vigilance against the foreigner. Then
came the Singer sewing machine man
and after him the representative of
the American Tobacco company and
all had to find house boats on the
river, where they were still living at
the time of our visit. At o'clock
in the evening the gates are closed
and the business must be imperative
indeed that induces them to let you
out, much less to allow you to come
in. No railroad disturbs the COM
ngs and goings of this people. The
narrow crowded streets have never
dreamed of electric cars and moving
vans The wheelbarrow, centuries
old, creaks its way over the cobble
stones, the only thing that runs on
wheels in the city. Now and then
an old "riksha" is placed in COM
mission only to meet some emergency
and forms no part of the transporta-
ton facilities. From early morn I'M
til the shadows fall the narrow thor
oughfares of this great city are crowd
ed with shouting chairman, burdened
coolies, squealing pigs, barking dogs,
growing ROSTERS and cackling hens.
Mix in with these swarming mass
of humanity pushing and jamming it's
way through the eight-foot streets,
the women are doing the household
washing, the children are trying to
play, the merchants are crying their
wares, and with the dirt and filth
that must of necessity come under
such condition you have somewhat
the picture of Nanchang in her every
day life.
We passed that day, from this con-
svsted condition of affairs out into
beautiful flower garden in the midst
of whose fragrance and loneliness
stands the Woman's hospital under
the charge of Dr. Kahn. This woman
of culture and refinement is scarcely
excelled by the late Mr.. Burbank, in
her knowledge and appreciation of
plant life. However, these are but
ministers of good to the one supreme
object of her life-the hospital and
it's great work.

Gertrude Howe came to China in or
der to assist in the shaping of por-
ton of it's multitudinous life. She
saw the need of training among the
native women and more especially
because womanhood held such low
place in the estimation of the Chi
nese empire. Miss Howe believed
that if she could secure one of the
Chinese baby girls much good could
be accomplished through training her
for future service. To purchase a
baby girl seemed an easy task, for
every day they were sold in open mar
ket on the streets. So she sent her
servants out to procure one of these
dispised bits of humanity, but all their
efforts failed. There were plenty Of
babies for sale, but the people had
been told that the foreign devil"
wanted the babies in order to take
out their eyes and concoct awful medi-
cines. Many months went by and
Miss Howe had about despaired of
succeeding in her most worthy enter
prise when one day a servant came
home and announced that she believed
at last girl baby could be secured.
Many babies had come to the home
of a certain poor man and most of
them were girls. At this particular
time another baby had arrived and
it was a girl. The parents had made
many efforts to sell the little one,
but to no avail. Buyers were want
ing. Discouraged over being unable
to dispose of their burden and disap-
pointed in not securing the small sum
which would have so materially as
sisted in buying the necessities for
their existence they decided to drown
her in the river.
1t was at this critical time that
the representatives of Miss Howe put
in an appearance and offered to buy
the child. Sadly needing the money
and planning on death for the baby
anyway the father and mother could
see little risk in disposing of her. A
glad day it was for thousands of Chi
nese women when this bargain was
made. Under proper care and nour-
ishment the little one came to her
girlhood and young womanhood with
bright prospects. Miss Howe sent her
to America and she graduated with
high honors from Northwestern uni
versity, then took medical course at
Ann Arbor and from there went to
London, where she specialized in trop-
ical diseases. Thus equipped she
came back to her own people and took
charge of the Woman's hospital at
Nanchang.
AS we walked from the crowded
filthy city into the hospital compound,
where the varied colored chrysanthe
NUNS grew luxuriantly, and then into
the hospital building, model of sys-
tenn and neatness, we were impressed
that back of it all was no ordinary
mind directing and controlling affairs.

the company to shut down most OF
their work and thus many persons
have been thrown out of employment,
causing real hardship to hundreds Of
Mexicans.
Nogals, Sonora, was captured by the
state troops a month before Naco fell,
and our soldiers there in Nogales,
Ariz., have Col Kosterlitsky and about
200 of his men to feed and guard. The
state troops are running trains south
of Nogales and refuse so far to turn
the railroad over to the railroad com
pany for operation. But as most OF
the railroads engines and equipment
at Nogales were also taken to the
American side, the state forces are
handicapped in their train service.
and the railroad steadily refuses to
turn over any freight. What the out
come of it all will be is hard to de.
termine. Dozens of bridge were also
burned south of Nogales, but these the
state forces repaired again. With the
abandonment of train service the auto
service came into prominence, and a
number of machines have been max
ing regular trips to and from Can
anea, though of late they have to
make detours to avoid danger. Even
buggies and wagons are pressed into
service and bring out dozens of pas
sengers. Just before the attack on
Cananea the copper company had a
number of extra machines come down
and about 100 American women and
children were brought out to safety.
Naco, Ariz., is still filled with refu-
gees who are afraid to return to their
homes. Then, too, many of their
houses have been used for defenses
and if any effects are left in the
house, in all probability the places
have been looted. The Maderistas
generally helped themselves and the
curio hunters were not much better.

after that, what next? The Mexican
common people have had taste of re-
volt, and in some cases the life of a

and plenty than if he was at real work

EMPIRE

Something absolutely new in moving picture p1aycraft is the latest South African novelty picture of the Selig Co.,, entitled "A Wild Ride" In this new red-blooded drama of the African wilds, an. English girl, the heroine of the adventure, is trapped with her parents in a lone farm house by fren- zfed Zu1us led up a vengefu1 half-breed more crafty and cunning than his savage followers. The savages drive of all the live stock to be sure that the family have no means" of escape, and then start a siege. The girl es- capes from the house, makes her way to the ostrich pen, and getting on the back of g. big bird, goes on the wings of the wind across the painless desert to an English army station. She gets the military back to the lonely farm in time to thwart the savages and avert the final tragedy. Women have ridden horses, hobbies, bicycles, buck ing bronchos, elephants and aeroplanes but Bessie Esyton is the first to utilize an ostrich as a mount for daring res cue in the desert wilds South Africa The excellent pictures of Eagles pa rade, sheep roast and field sports will be shown again today.

Rubenstein relates the manner in which the fake was man ipu1ated. Two hundred people on an Erie R.

Rubenstein says he was the one to do the shouting and that he planted a, coat and hat, both marked with his name an address on a deck seat.

ATTRACTIONS
 1.-THE THEATRES
THE PLAZA

The thirteenth week of stock by the Po1i Players at the Plaza Theatre, is not, in the least un1ucky. Packed houses, pleased crowds and a most wonderful performance characterizes this, the thirteenth consecutive pre- sentatfon of a neVer-before-seen play and the reward of keeping faith with the people is excellent business and a steadily growing patronage.
 fThe BoSs,'' written by Edgar She'd den, author of ''The Niger and Sal vation Nell, and played by Holbroolk Blinn for over a year at the Astor Theatre, New York, and seven months at the Powers Opera House, Chicago, is the vehicle this week and it is af- fording the large coterie of players on the Poi roster an excellent chance to show just what they can do.
 Paul McAl1ister, Brenda Fowler, Ralph Herbert, Marguerite Starr, Ted Gibson, Wilson HuInmeI, Arthur Buchanan, Arthur Griffin, Marion Hutchins, Llewellyn Cross1nan, Burke Symon and Florence Gerald all have dandy roles and the performance, ac- cording to the critics on the four daily papers, is equally as we'll given as was the original.
 For next week, Manager Po1i has secured "A Fool There Was" and it will be presented here for the first time by a stock company.
 Manager Po1i is endeav bring to se- cure Robert Hilliard to witness the first performance here next Monday.

POLI'S THEATER

Without doubt the vaudeville and photo play program at Polls theater is one. of the best of the season. The acts are of a lively nature and com pe11ed vociferous applause from the start to the finish of the show.
 Frances Williams assisted by Will liam Forestelle, the local boy, pre- sented an interesting pIaylet, Alias Nifty Tessie'' is the title and as the name implies concerns crooks. There were many curtain calls. Frances Williams is an excellent actress and William F'orestelle does himself proud A man by the name of Davis had the audience in convu1sions of laughter but to describe the nature of his act would be spelling a good thing. Rialto presented a very artistic offering in the nature of a posing diversion, as sisted by an excellent male singer. Rialto is a very handsome woman. Snir1 and KeeIy pleased with a sing ing and acrobatic speciality, HiIda Bur ton sang herself into instant favor and AIdro and Mitchell thrilled on the flying ladder. A two reel special film was very interesting. The pie lures of the Eagles parade scored real hit. Pathe's weekly showed ball game at Washington between the Democratic and Republican con- gressmen and included Congressman Reilly. who was the captain of the Democrats Country store will be held Friday night and the Eagles pictures will be shown today and to- morrow. A country store will be held Saturday matinee for the children only.

FOX FARMING IS
 ENCOURAGED BY
 THE GOVERNMENT

Washington, July 25-A number of Canadians have written to the De- pertinent of Commerce seeking to buy some of the blue and silver foxes from the governments preserves in Alaska, but no citizen of the United States has made similar requests, although the department is anxious to get some Americans to go in for fox breeding.
 Assistant Secretary Sweet declared today that good profits await those who take up the industry. The gov ernment, he said, has a number of small islands off the Alaskan coast which it will lease to any one who desires them for fox farming, and at the same time the government will furnish breeding animals at low prices.
 There are several fox raising estaib- lishments in Canada, said MT. Sweet which are reported to be making big profits and as the skins bring fancy prices in London, center of the fur selling trade, he thought citizens of the United States should be reaping part of the returns.

Bessie was different. She was the
