games in Shanghai, in which athletes from
all over the Orient will compete. DR.. Wus
visit to the Philippines was partly in the
interest of foreign commerce, and partly
to assure a large delegation of Philippine
athletes for the meet.
Since the coming of the Americans ath-
letics in the Philippine Islands have be-
come tremendously popular 1t is said
that there are $1,000 girl students on
regularly organized basket ball teams play
ing out of doors, and more than 1900
athletes competed in the recent Inter
scholastic Championships.
"The Philippines have 10000 people,
who are being benefited either directly
or indirectly by the physical training they
are receiving" says DR.. WI; whereas
China has 4OO,OOO,OOO persons who need
the same training"
If he lives ten years more, he expects to
see China turn out ball team that will
wrest the worlds championship from the
United States.

"The ability to exalt oneself and to
give oneself, that is clever French
mans definition of temperament, said
Gavock. "Why does she try for it, won
der? She dances gracefully, she is pretty.
Why attempt the impossible?"
"She thinks it makes her interesting,
and to be interesting is her mftier She
lives by it, poor thing! She's salaman-
der That's the fashionable name for
girl who teeters along the brink working
men for anything she can get out of them,
dinners, flowers, jewels, the use of

money,-giving nothing in return except
well, say the finer feelings, if she has
any"
But surely girl who accepts so much
subjects herself to-er-wel-"
"lmpropositions?" Mrs. Estell laughed.
"Thats what Tommy Nave calls them.
Don't you love it? OF course she does,
constantly. But she manages to keep her
footing: not from any overplus of virtue,
but from a cool-headed canniness that
makes her cling to responsibility as to life

herself to such advances considered re-

"Oh, she maintains semirespectabiity
that serves her purpose well enough"
"Very semi, ! should say"
"Demi, should say" laughed the lady.
"But it serves, as you see
THE dance had ended, and Miss Lowthcr
and her partner had returned to ac-
knowledge the generous applause that rec
ompensed them. With her arms full of
flowers the girl bowed her thanks right
and left. Then, as the clapping modcr-
ated, instead of retiring through the back
exit she came down a short flight of steps
that led from the stage to the auditorium.
"l'm going to present you" Mrs Es-
tell said, starting up and signaling the girl,
who was approaching them. "You may
find the species interesting. But warn
you that your gray hairs will not protect
your pocketbook

laughed making a fcnt of turning away.
She seized his arm. mo, I'm going to
run" she said; then, OBTAINING Miss
Lowther, who had come abreast of them,
she introduced Gavock, "Mr. Roger
Gavock, my dear-straight from the Rue
de la Paix and mad to meet YOU"
Gavock bowed. The girl held out her
hand and smiled at him above the mass
OF roses in her arms.
"Enchdntte, Monsieur"
take my seat, Miss Lowther," Mrs.
Estell said, and left them.

shoulder and as at a signal the men poised
their instruments for action.
"She seems to be the leader" Gavock
observed.
"Ies. She plays regularly for Adrien-
mes dancing class, | believe. The others
are probably specially engaged for the
evening. Her story is quite tragic-if it.
true. She was a student at the Imperial
Conservatory in Petersburg (she's Rus
siam, and career was predicted for her
Then her father. who was violinist in
the orchestra at the opera, fell under the
suspicion of the police and was sent to
Siberia The girl was dismissed from the
conservatory, and could find no employ
ment; so she managed somehow to get
over here, and ekes out a bare existence
She looks as if she hadn't enough to eat
doesn't she? OH" Mrs. Estells serious
tone changed abruptly to one of delight
as the opening strain of waltz filled the
room. "That's Love in the Air'-the
most heavenly thing to dance to!"
THE curtains at the back of the stage
were drawn aside, and young man
and girl entered dancing. A friendly rip
pie of applause greeted them.
"That's Beth Tate and Fred Crawley
-nice children. You mustn't expect any
thing from the program, you know: they're
all amateurs. We haven't come to see
dancing: we've come to dance ourselves"
Mrs. Estell moved her hands and feet in
time with the music 81 can hardly watt"
she said.
The mice children made their exit
amid more clapping of indulgent hands.
Several couples followed them, and were
similarly rewarded for their efforts. The
danse cccentrique of Cornelia O'Rourke
and her brother was rendered with a
rompish glee that was contagious, and it
had to be repeated.
THAT girl is Sybi Lowther" Mrs.
Estell announced, as the next couple en-
tered on the slow, sensuous strains of a
tango. "She's by way of being a pro-
fesslonal. She's Canadian, and used to
do Rotations in Professionalism dia-
lect; but she starved at it after the dance
craze began, and wisely decided to swim
with the current. She affects tenn

They watched the dancers in silence
for several minutes. Miss Lowthers
writings and posturings, designed to
register on the minds of her audience as
suppressed passions that tortured her
soul, were contradicted by her cold eyes
and the firm set of her lips. Her partner,
selected probably as foil, was a fresh
checked boy with an expression as placid
as a feeding infants.

THE baseball season is on in the Phil
ippines, and WI Ting Fang. who was
for so many years Minister from China
to the United States, pitched the first ball
in the game between the University of the
Philippines and Waseda Uapan Univer-
sity. He is seventy-three years old
which shows that life is worth living after
seventy in China as well as in the United
States. He is just as full of impertinent
questions and interest in people as he ever
was.
No straightforward question is consid-
cred impertinent by the Chinese, and his
questions We're constant source of JOY
to Washington. slow old are you?" he
would ask the society matron, or "How
much money does your husband make"
And he would do it always, and ask other
embarrassing questions with smile that

said. "Our dance is the last on the pro-

and introduce you to some of my friends. y

lonely now"
MRS. ESTELL greeted his arrival eff
fuslvely. She was vivacous little
blond, just emerging fully from the shad-
ows into the sunshine of widowhood. She
ordered him to occupy chair beside her
own.
Il hope I'm not depriving anyone" he
said, accepting the seat.
She laughed. you ought to say YOU

these occasionally interrupted the talk,
pausing for words of greeting.
Aren't they ever going to begin?" Mrs.
Estell had exclaimed several times before
her question was finally answered by the
appearance of the musicians in the small
balcony above the stage.
"lfeavens! what a wrath of woman!"
Mrs. Estcl exclaimed as Trma Niklova

 Dies in Brinkley

On Wednesday morning at the home of his daughter. Mrs. A, R. Hammon. on North Main St., MT. J. S. Storkard, died after a short illness.
 ] MT. Stockard was born April 10th, 1888 in Maury County, Tennessee and moved to Arkan- sas at an early age. Mir Stock ards wife died On June IS, 1914 at their home in Forrest City. Since her death he has been making his home in Brinkley with Mir. and Mrs. Hammon. He has been q sufferer for some time past but never took his bad until q few days ago.
 He leaves two children to mourn his death. Mrs. A. R. Hammon. of this city and Mir.
 
 R. l.. Stockard. of Forrest City. The latter came here on Satur- day last and has constantly at- tended the aged parent ever since until the end came.
 The funeral was a t the Hammon residence at 3:3O We'd nesday afternoon, Rev. w. T. Thurman of the Presbyterian church officiating. The body was taken to Forrest City on the Rock Island Limited at 4:55 Wednesday afternoon and was buried beside the body of the wife who died last June.

The Shahon Pea

Over a year ago the depart ment called attention to some very extravagant advertisements concerning the so-called Shahon pea. It was pointediout that the Shahon pea is nothing but one of the many varieties of yard long or asparagus beans. These have long been used to some ex- tent as snap beans, as the young pods have an agreeable aspara- guslike flavor. As a forage crop none of the asparagus beans can compare with the better cowpeas either in production of pods or of herbage, a conclusion reached by the Office of Forage Crop ln-- yestigations after five years testing of about 20 varieties of asparagus bean.
 Inasmuch as the extravagant advertisements of the Shahon pea are being repeated this sea- son, 1t seems desirable to warn farmers that unwarranted claims are being made for this pea and that 1t Is being advertised for sale al exorbitant prices.
 Some advertisers ask the ex- travagant price of $4 a pound for seed of the Shahon pea and make the absurd claim that Z pounds of seed will plant acre which. may be expected to yield Il5 bushels of seed and IA to 20 tons of hay. These supposed yields are based on the product of single vine, method that gives utterly untrustworthy re suits.
