AMERICAN beer HASN'T
half A SHOW IN China
Oriental Republic Brewing Her Own
Cheap Labor the Cause.

At one time. several years ago.
American beer was shipped in large
quantities to China.
But no more. and China has not
gone prohibition, either. On the con-
trary she is now making her own beer.
This information is contained in the
current report of Consul General
Thomas Sammons. stationed at Shang-
hal, China
Some enterprising Chinaman-proba-
bly, named 'Hop"-got hep" to the
idea that the hops grown in his coun-
try could be brewed into first class
beer. Hops" can be hired there cheap
er than Toms and Georges" in
America. He hoped to the idea with
the result that there is now quite a
brewing industry in China. The beer
imported from America cost the Chi
nese 81 for q dozen pints, while the
native brews could be made for half
that amount.
Consul Sammons says in his report
that a great deal of German beer was
used before the war. but that practi-
cally the only foreign beer used now
is a certain brand of English brew.

in sight, that the japanese newt, a spe-
cies of lizard in the reptile house Of the
New York Geological Park, sometimes
even bite OF the legs Of their mates.
The newt, about twelve in number. are
among the latest arrivals in the park.
They might be called salamanders, as
they much resemble this heat-loving liz
ard.
Their food consists principally OF
worms. but when hungry the newt knows
no friend or foe-it just snaps haphazard
at anything that is movable and 1t is
no uncommon thing for a leg OF some
other member Of the family to be sew
cred.
The japanese newt grows new limbs in
about six or seven weeks. 1t matters
very little how often they are shorn on.
their legs start to grow Immediately.
and sometimes before they are full
grown again they furnish food for the
hungry ones.
THE japanese newt is one of our rare
freaks" said Raymond L. Ditmars to-
day. THE peculiar gift of the newt is
that 1t grows new legs over and over
again. Each time 1t grows new legs the
new ones are just as perfect as the for
mer legs WERE"

New York Suicide.

Special to The Washington Herald.
New York, Nov. 30.-While the family
and about twenty friends were grouped
around the body of Mrs. Emma Gedney.
George Gedney suddenly sat upright and
cried:
II cannot stand it any longer; every
thing is gone
Then he started toward the window in
the room, his young sons, George and
Melvin, and his little daughter Violet
tugging at him and his friends grouped
around him trying to force him back to
his seat
But Mr.. Gedney would not be held back
The friends tried to get hold OF him. but
he slipped out of their hold easily Then
they lined up in front of the window, de-
termined that he should not get past
them.
The man brushed the children aside.
and before any one was aware of his in
tention, he opened the door to the hall
way leading to the kitchen. He fed to
the kitchen and leaped seventy feet to
the courtyard.
