The original news item concerning
the diamond of the goddess Kali was
handed in to the city editor. He smil-
ed and held it for moment above the
waste basket. Then he laid it back on
his desk and said Try the Sunday
people; they might work something out
Of it."
The Sunday editor glanced the item
over and said: HIM" Afterward he
sent for a reporter and expanded his
comment.
You might see General Ludlow" he
said, land make II story out Of this If
you can. Diamond stories are drug;
but this one is big enough to be found

you can go ahead with the story. Run

copy went into the waste basket with

The reporter stiffened little around

about it an hour later.

he magnanimously. for cutting it out.

Two Most World Famed Tonlcs Com

Cod Liver oil and Iron have proved
to be the two most successful tonics

Two eminent French chemists dis

which is thrown away, ut-to these
medicinal elements, tonic iron is now
added, thus combining in Vinol the

question of who is responsible for the

Senator Percy's bit of advice was
rendered direct to the citizens Of Hol-

adopted some rather salty resolutions
on the subject. Concerning this he
says:
No one is more keenly alive than

resulting from this crevasse, yet 1
cannot too strongly deprecate the
tone of your resolutions.
Any attempt at this time to fasten
the responsibility is unwise The
paramount question just now is not

CHINESE celebrate
SUN Mn, Old new YEAR

New York, Feb. 5.-Can it be, after
all, as set forth in the unconventional
but expressive language of Mr..
CHUCK" Connors, the oracle Of China
town, that the story of the Chinese
adopting the fashion of celebrating the
Occidental New Year was pretty much
bunk? The adoption of the Western
calendar, it will be remembered, was
among the many important changes
ordered by the new government soon
after the establishment of the Repub-
lie of China. According to all report
the Chinese in America were delighted
with the change and with the zeal of !
recent converts they celebrated their |
New York on Jan. last. OF the fact !
of the celebration there were many |
outward and visible signs in the little |
district bounded by Pell, Mott and
Boyer streets, known as Chinatown.
The store fronts were profusely dec
Grated with the emblem of the new re-
public intertwined with the Stars and
Stripes. And some Of the young Ce-
lestial "bloods" celebrated the birth
OF the New Year in approved Western
fashion by eating chop suey and drink
ing wine in the Oriental until almost
he peep o. day.
But it is evidently hard to break
way from a custom that is centuries
I'D. Today marked the beginning of
sun Min, or the old Chinese New
lear, a season of celebration with
he Chinese long before republics and 4
eform administrations were dreamed
in the Flowery Kingdom. And in
lis fact, perhaps, is to be found the
eason why the local Chinese, in spite
queueless heads and Occidental
othes, today went about their prepa-
Itions for fortnight of jubilation in
'ecisely the same manner as they did 7
fore they hung the Caucasian calen-
Ir on their walls. -nr,..o, +
