SUPREME COURT IS
OF SAME OPINION

ATLANTA, Ca, March 4.-The in
junction granted about year ago in
Fulton superior court, enjoining ne
groes from initiating the name or in
signio of the Shrine, has been upheld
by the Georgia supreme court, and
the injunction made permanent. The
negroes, hewewer, are considering
fighting the case still further, as there
are still some points of fact involved
which have to be passed on by a jury
But in the meantime they are perma-
nently enjoined from wearing Shrine
pins or any other Shrine insignia.
The original suit was brought by
Forrest Adair, then potentate of Yaa-
RAD temple, against a local negro or.
ganization which called itself Shrine,
AID which initiated the white Shrine
by using similar names and insignia.

Greek NeWSie

Atlanta, Ga, March 4..-The cos
mopolitan tone of Atlanta has been
heightened by the advent of a Greek
newsboy who cries his wares in Greek
ond sells nothing but Greek newspa-
pers. The sale of Greek newspapers
in Atlanta totals several hundred per

lished in Greece, while others are
published in Greece, while others are
Greek papers published in New York
and other points in the east.
There are many Italian and German
papers also for sale on the newstands
in Atlanta. For some reason, how
ever, one never sees a French or Eng
lish paper for sale. The only French
and English periodicals which come
to Atlanta at all are those subscribed
for direct by two or three of the big
local clubs.

present ford style of composition and
put the Chinese classics, that is the
better known works of Confucius, into
simple language with simplified char
acters. This education would take
from the Mandarin dialect used in Pc
king, which is the language of schol-
ars, possibly five thousand Chinese
characters sufficient for ordinary ex-
preston. This would be the standard
vocabulary for China. The pronun-
citation of the characters would be
standardized in such a way that the
written and spoken words would be
exactly the same in every province.
The educators suggest that this re-
form board would make text books and
dictionaries containing five thousand
words or characters adequate to
cover the first five years of primary
school work. They regard that as the
vital basis for educational reform in
China, and suggest that more elabor-
ate dictionaries and standard text
books could easily be worked out so
as to put education even in the uni
versities upon the same basis in all
China.
At present the pronunciation of Chi
nese characters is different in practi-
cally every province. A Canton man is
absolutely unable to understand the
language of a Pekinese until he has
studied the pronunciation. The same
is true of men from adjacent provinces
in either the north or south of China.
1t is estimated that the PLAN for
standardizing Chimes would bring
about universal language in China
less than forty years, if compulsory
education were adopted, and the Man
DARN dialect, or thedialect of the
educated classes, were taught in all
schools. Missionaries and other for
eigners who have lived in China for
many years, are almost unanimous in
their belief that the extremely difficult

THE UNKNOWN

Lou-Tellegen, the distinguished TO.
mantle actor, who scored such a pro-
nounced success in THE Explorer,
will be seen at the Alcazar on Monday
in his second Jesse L. Lasky produc-
ton, "The Unknown" gripping
drama Of the famous Foreign Legion in
Algeria. In this proto-drama Mr.
Tellegen is seen in character en-
tirely different from anything he has
played heretofore, either on the speak
ing stage or the screen.
The Foreign Legion is military
sanctuary where men who have me,
With misfortune or disgrace may re-

plain who or what they are. This or.

ton of its heroic exploits. Princes in
it's ranks have rubbed shoulders with
murderers; thieves have fought side
by side with the aristocracy. A man
is taken for what he is, not for what he
was. Into this, comes Lou Tellegen
as an English ne'er do well. The cap
tain of his company is known as
Devil Destinn."
A young American girl whom the
pricate saved during a brawl in an AL
gerian dance hall, has taken great
deal of interest in him and when Des-
tin discovers that his attentions to the
girl are unwelcome, he starts perse-
cutting the private. Persecution fol-
lows persecution, until finally the pri-
vate is to be shot for mutiny. His
friends effect his escape and with the

Cross on the young mans breasts and
suddenly realizes that he has been per-
scouting his own son, from whom he
Gisappeareds years before when the
father had been cashiered from the

and varied language of the Chinese is
the greatest barrier to China's pro-
gress. Written and spoken Chinese
are in such hopeless complexity that
there are very few Chinese scholars
who have been able to master all the
dialects, even in a long life of con-
tinuous study.
Only artists of the first class are
able to write certain Chinese charac-
ters in an acceptable way. OF recent
years there has been a tendency to
write the characters in less ornate
manner, and the reformers who are
seeking to standardize the language
urge that writing be done in what is
known as grass characters. These
have less shading and the stroke can
be made with a conventional pen in
regular copy books. By the adoption
Of this style of characters in the news
papers and in all official documents
and correspondents, educators believe
the simpler form of writing would
readily be popularized, together with
the simple standardized vocabulary.

In the Midst All Troubles in
China Some of Her Patriots
Are Working On Her Welfare

PEKING, March 4.-Even in the
midst of revolutionary movements and
monarchial preparations which bark
back two thousand years there are
some progressive Chinese leaders en-
deavoring to work out the bettarment
of China and the Chinese in a quiet,
scientific manner. One of the most i'm
pCrtant of the recent movements is an
effort to standardize and simplify the
Chinese language.
This effort has been approved by
President Yuan Shi-Kai and is under
general discussion in the Chinese
press. 1t has the approval of the min
lister of education and foreign educa-
tors living in China who have know
ledge of the Chinese language and ap-
preciate the great difficulties presented
by the various dialects.
The simplification and standardizing
Of Chinese textbooks for general use
throughout all the provinces is re-
garded as imperative before education
can make great progress in China and
result in unification of the various pro-
vinces.
The annual expenditure for the up
keep of the army and navy is reported
to be approximately $4O,OOO,00O gold,
while the amount the central govern
ment appropriates for education is on
is only one-fiftieth of that sum.
The sentiment throughout China is
that more money must be used for edu-
cation. With a proper system of tax
alton China can realize sufficient
money to maintain schools, hut educa-
tional experts are universally agreed
that adequate results cannot be at
tanned in Chinese schools until the
written language is. standardized and
simplified

ON SATURDAY NIGHT

TOLEDO, o., March with an en-
try list totalling 756 fve-men teams, g.
1853 two-men teams and 1,54Q individ-
uals, the sixteenth international tour
moment Of the American Bowling con-
gfess opened Saturday. The prize list
approximates $32,500.
BowIers from every section of the
United States and parts of Canada are
entered. They come from as far east
as New Haven, Conn, and Newark, N.
j., from as far south as Chattanooga
and Knoxville, Tenn, from as far west
as Denver and from Montreal in the
north.
Toleda has contributed 220 fiye-men
teams, the largest individual entry Of
any city in the history of the organiza-
tion with the exception of that from
Chicago in 1912. Chicago is sending IS
fiye-team men; Detroit, so; Cleveland

vidual champion of 1915, and holder of
the A. B. C. record of I'll pins, will de-
fend his title this year. The Allen

men events at Peoria last year, are re-
turning.
The present tournament is the great
est ever held by the A. B. c., in the
number of entrants. Prior to this year
500 tlve-men teams, the number enter
ed in the 1912 tourney at Chicago, was
the largest.
Grand Rapids is the choice of off,
Gals for the 1917 tournament, although
Buffalo, Dayton and South Bend are
also bidders.
Those familiar with bowling politics
think that William Agnew, of Clev9-
land, second vice president, probably
will succeed Edward ]. Ryan, Of De-
