Piled with charming evasiveness, but
something of his real attitude in the mat

swer to the next question:
''Oh, no. / do not believe that my
daughter thinks of votes for women in
China" he said hurriedly. and a little
line of worry appeared for the fraction
of a second in his calm forehead. His
daughter, he said, had been to schools
in China. and in the five years from
1903 TO 1908 when he served as consul
general here. she went TO the Barnard
Preparatory School. Since then she has
attended what is called a normal
school, in her own country.
This normal school is not equal to
your colleges" he explained. TT is more
like your high schools and teaches arith-
metic, geography, history, and other
things. We have no colleges or univer-
sites for women in China. Ny daugh-
ter has not yet decided whether she will
study in America this time. do not
know whether she win go to college.

which are open to girls in China The
public schools are free to all But we
have no compulsory education laws as
you have. but more and more girls are
attending the schools. I think We may
have compulsory education some time.

Diplomat Likes to Tell
About His Daughter, Who.

Here.

Kai Flu Shah, the newly appointed Chi
nese Minister. has that Oriental calm
which can discuss gravely and unhur-
riedly such vexed questions as women's
progress. Mr.. Shah talked of these
things and especially of his daugh-
ter's education in this country, and
managed to display the qualities OF
diplomacy, humor. and gallantry in a
ten minutes conversation.
The question Of suffrage came up nat
urally.
NO, you are right; Chinese women
have not the vote" said Mr.. Shah. But
great changes have come in the life of
the Chinese woman from the time when
she used TO bind her feet to the present
time, when the woman of the better class
would not think OF binding her feet OF
her children's. So perhaps in time Chi
nese women will be given the vote, fol
the attitude toward them is undergoing
marked change

When asked if he believed that it would
be a good thing to enfranchise Chinese
women, Mr.. Shah smiled discreetly:

WIVES CHASE HIM, SAYS NAT.
Goodwin Considers Marriage I'm
certain ms Mans Digestion.

Detroit, April IA reporter who want
ed to know the why's and why nots Of
marriage found out yesterday that Nat
Goodwin was in town and he aroused
that experienced man from his early noon
slumber. The actor was sleepy and tried
to change the subject, but he finally thus
held forth:
Marriages are not all alike, any more
Than faces are. No man can offer any,
body else any advice. A person oughtn't
to tell any one how to get married, any
more than an inexperienced person ought
to be instructed in the way to eat an
oyster. Both matrimony and oysters are
liable to prove hard to digest. .
Its no crime trying to establish a
home. Anyway, you don't pick wife
at all She picks you. At least that's
what happened to me generally. The best
way to manage women, il you ask me, is
to let 'em alone.
AT least have done nothing which
was not respectable in getting married

2 ssTHE FALL OF CONSERVATIVE
 NOPLE''
 The principal attraction for Thurs day. Friday and Saturday at the Ly- ric will be The Fall of Constantino- p1e.'' glorious hand eo1ored master piece, depicting the great historical events of the struggle for Constanti- nople and how Mohammed II suc- ceeded in wrestling the city from Con- stantine 13, the last Christian Ernper- or.
 The siege and. fall of this great historical city is depicted in an ad- miraT manner and the scenes of the battle are astounding.
 The greater part, of the picture is devoted to the struggle of the Otta- man forces and the defenders of the city: the repeated attacks of the Turks. who, although losing heavier each week, draw closer and closer each day until the weakened forces Of Constantine afe reduced to hand full. Finally, in spite of their re- markable courage and with a firm spirit under shadow of utter hope lessness the brave defenders witness the fall of the grand city of Com stantinop1e.
 This marvellous film was produced at the cost of $25G,0oO and over 5000 soldiers take part in the siege.-Adv

do not like the things, and they only spoil the taste of good meat"
 For days they travelled north. some times finding food in plenty and again going hungry for days.
 They saw no signs of natives, nor were they molested by wild beasts. Their journey was miracle of ease.
 Tafzan asked questions and learned rapidly. D'Arnot taught him many of the refinements of civilization, even to the use of knife and fork, but some times Tarzan would drop them in dis gust and grasp his food in his strong brown hands, tearing it with his mo lars like a wild beast.
 Then D'Arnot would expostulate with him, saying:
 You must not eat like brute, Tar gan. while am trying to make a gen tlernan of you.''
 On the journey he told D'Arnot about the great chest he had seen the sailors bury and how he had dug 1t up and carried it to the gathering place of the apes and buried 1t there.
 sIt must be the treasure chest of Professor Porter said D'Arnots ..It is too bad but, of course, you did not know
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1914-01-15

Then Tarzan recalled the letter writ ten by Jane Porter to her friend, the one he had stolen when they first came to his cabin, and now he knew what was in the chest and what 1t meant to Jane Porter
 t'Tomorrow we shall go back after it, 's he announced to DsArnot. 'sYou may go on toward civilization, and will return for the treasure. I can go very much faster alone
 '<I have a better plan, Tarzan," ex- claimed D'Arnot. we shall go on to- gether to the nearest settlement, and there we will charter boat and sail back down the coast for the treasure That will be safer and quicker and also not require us to be separated. Wrhatfdo Eou think of that pIan2',
 'tVery weIl,'' said Tarzan. stThe treasure will be there whenever we go for it; and while could fetch it now and catch up with you in moon or two I sEaal1 feel safer for you to know that you are not alone on the trai1.''
 In one of his talks with D 'Arnot Tar gan mentioned Kaia, his ape mother F
 Then you knew your mother, Tar zan?'' asked D'Arnot in surprise.
 tYes. She was great, fine ape, barger thaa I and weighing twice as much-''
 And you also knew your father7'. asked gD'Arnot.
 sI did not know him. Ka1a told me he was a white ape and hairless like myself. I know now that he must have been white man.
 D'Arnot looked long and earnestly at his companion.
 ssTarzan,', he said at length, Sit is impossible that the ape, Kaia, was your mother. You are pure man and, I should say, the ofspring of highly bred and intelligent parents. Have you not the slightest cIew to your pastq"
 Mot the slightest, replied Tarzan.
 ssNo writing in the cabin that might have told something of the lives of it's original inmates ?'
 q have read everything that was In the cabin with the exception of one book, which know now to be written in language other than English. Pos sibly. you can read it.
 Tarxan Hdshed the little black diary from the bottom of his quiver and handed it to his companion.
 D'Arnot glanced at the title page.
