LITTLE KNOWN OF VAST LAND
That Have Never Been Surveyed
or Even Explored.

A large tract Of the great Chinese
empire has " been surveyed or
even explored. AS a result, all sorts
of varying estimates as to the size of
China have been given. Any estimate
can merely be an approximation rep
resenting the last guess. This last
guess is estimated to be about 4,OOO,-
900 square miles for China's area
about 100000 miles larger than the
total area Of u United States. While
one Of the eighteen provinces of China
is several thousand square miles small
er than our own state Of Texas, yet
within the borders Of this Chinese
province there have been dwelling
20 times as many Chinese Inhabitants
as there are Americans who dwell in
Dur great state Of Texas.
The size OF our own state of In
diana corresponds approximately to
the size of the very smallest of all
the Is Chinese provinces. There are,
however, more than five times as
many Cinnamon dwelling within their
native province as there are Ameri-
cans living in our Hoosier state.
The ratio Of five to one applies gen.
orally when making population COM
PARSONS between any locality of China
and America. Usually when the Chi,
nese empire is referred to what ia
meant is China proper. This latter
is composed Of Is provinces. There
are in addition to this certain depend.
enctes OF China, known as territor-
les. These are overrun with noun
tains, vast stretches Of desert land.
high plateaus and varying densities Of
population.
Manchuria is one of these depend
encies, and its size is about three
times the size of the British islands.
Mongolia Is another vast territory ly-
ing to the north and measuring near
ly 100000 square miles in area. To
the south and westward lie tine de
tendencies of Tibet and Of Turk
estan, a locality of severely rugged and
desolate country. Less than 100000
Celestials roam within these two ter
ritories.
II you wish to travel from Picking
Northern China to Hongkong In
southern China, you will have a sea
voyage Of 1000 miles to cover after
you sail from the port Of Tien.tsin.
You do moi fully appreciate the vast
distances you have to travel in China
until you actually become a visitor in
this strange land and are compelled to
secure transportation somehow, scme
way, no matter how r~udimentary,
China Is a country Of gigantic sizes
and vast areas, but when 1t secures
our occidental railways and trolley
lines throughout its empire distance
will be annihilated beyond Chine's
iondest dream.-Clyde Wilmer.

 Dr. Vaughn made 'HThe Service of Medicine to Civilization" the subject of his inaugural address.
 ''In the last century the average of human life has been increased by if teeen. years and this increase could be duplicated in the next twenty years he said eff the facts we now possess were effectively employed
 t"The further developments of med icine, both curative and preventive, depend on scientific investigado ons. The public is the beneficiary and should in every way encourage medi- cal research.

AUTO AMBULANCE
 SPEED RESTRICTED BY COMMISSIONERS

Speed of the emergency hospital aIl- ton1obile ambulance has again been regulated, the charity commissioners fixing the speed limit at 20 miles an hour following discussion at yester- days session In cases involving life and death, the speed may be increased but a report must be made to the commissioners giving details. The ac- ton followed the receipt of a, com plaint from the Bridgeport Brass Go, concerning the speed used at Eas1 Main street and Crescent avenue.
 There was a little comment con- corning Bridgeport being reputed to have one of the quickest and best am bulance services in the East, the fact that Chauffeur Burlison has never had an accident and the need of speed in some cases. There was no official objection made to the speed reguIa- ton. Unomcially, several at the meet ing remembered that manufacturing concerns have complained, when an accident has taken place. if the am bula1rce is not on the spot almost as soon as the telephone call is made.
 Little else was done at the session excepting the reading of the annual report by STFperinte endent Gordon for approval and preliminary to forward ing it for insertion in the Municipal Register.
