CHINESE GIRLS IN COLLEGE
Growing I'm Number and in Influence
in Social IAfc.

The most picturesque school in Nam
King is Ginling college a newly opened
institution. operated by five boards,
presided over by faculty Of eight.
and including eighteen girls. As this
is only the second year of operation,
eighteen is goodly number. I.ass
year there were hardly enough girls
to go around. The college is housed
for the present in charming old
"gung gwan' or official residence be-
longing to the estate of Ii Hung
Chang. and once occupied by one 90
his relatives. For Chinese women to
come into such an inheritance, even
by renting II, Is enough to make any
one enthusiastic. Only two years OF
college work are done at present. but
a years work Is being added every
autumn. so that IL will soon tax the
eight teachers TO keep the class work
up to the high standard that has been
decidd upon.
Already the girls have seized upon
the opportunity to put into practico
the principles OF sociology and social
service and the Y. w. C. A. Of Ginling
conducts a day school for the chnuren
of the neighborhood. In spite of the
small number of girls schools wnlcn
teach sufficient English to prepare
students for Ginling there are fifteen
schools preparing students for tnis,
the only real college for women in
China, outside Of Peking.
There are an average Of five rooms
for every student at present, and the
rent amounts TO S33 for each girl. TUT
ton is $40, and the charge for food
and room Is a like amount at the pres
ent rate Of exchange

HOW GREAT PEST STARTED
Origin OF Annoying Chain Letter Is
Traced 10 Charitable Girl.

The first of the endless chain"
schemes that have proved such an an
noyance to postal officials in all coun-
tries was launched nineteen years ago,
in 1898, by a young girl, Natalie
Schenck. og Babylon, l.. /. Her p-o-
Ject was purely benevolent, and was
animated by spirit of patriotism. De-
string to raise fund for the aid OF
American s,\iers then fighting Spain,
she originated the endless chain idea
as an adapta ton of a scheme that had
u vogue In England until 1t was
stopped by act OF parliament.
The "chain" was started with four
letters written by Miss Schenck to as
many girl friends. Each was asked to
contribute 10 cents and write four
similar letters to other friends. few
days later the Babylon postoffice be-
gan to get busy and as the days went
by the postal officials got buster and
buster until they were fairly buried
under the weight of mail which de-
scended upon them like an avalanche.
A hurry call went to Washington for
extra help and mail was delivered to
Miss Schenck by the truck load. Now
that young lady began to feel the ef-
fects OF the scheme Her home was
Uttered from cellar to garret with let
ters, letters and more letters. all con-
tanning dimes. Before the thing died
out" Of its own accord she had re-
ceived more than a quarter OF mil
Hon dimes. Fakers all over the world
heard Of 1t and, as takers will. they
Immediately got busy. Hundreds OF
Thousands Of people were swindled out
OF money In this manner, until the
postal authorities put an end to IT.
The famous endless chain" prayer
which threatens endless punishment to
any persons who breaks II. has been
one Of the hardest survivors Of all.

HORSES IN ANCIENT WARS
West German Tribes Used ronie
- When Caesar Invaded Gaul.


In the old days when the Romans
and Greeks fought furious battles, rire
charioteers drove tSeir cars in all d.
rections, hurled their javelins, and by
the din and clatter Of horses and
wheels commonly threw the ranks Of
the enemy into disorder, ard, making
their way among the squadrons of the
encmy's cavalry. leaped down from
characters then withdrew, little by
little out Of he fight and placed tnets
chariots In such way that IL they
were hard pressed they could readily
retreat to their own side. Thus in bat
tie they afforded the mobility Of cav
airy with the steadiness OF infantry.
Daily practice enabled them to pull up
their horses at full speed when on a
steep slope. or to run out on the pole
and stand on the yoke, and to get
nimbly back into the chariot.
When the Introduction of cavalry IN
the later Iron age came larger horses,
but their use for this purpose seems
to have been restricted to isolated
areas. There Is no doubt that the
west German tribes, as late as the
campaign of Caesar IN Gaul. used oniy
the shaggy pony, II Is said in cavalry
actions they held 1t disgraceful anu
s,othful to use any kind of a saddle
and instead of charging in squadrons
they dismounted and fought on foot.
As far as England is concerned, tine
art Of riding seems to have been in
troduced by the Normans. The Sax-
cns appeared TO have been but indif-
ferent horsemeu.

SIXTY.CENT MEAL POSSIBLE
Regulation May Sug-
gest Idea to the Housewife.

How much should a meal cost ?" is
one OF the questions that will scarce
ly be answered alike by anv two per-
sons. The United States government
steps In and settles it. Meal tickets
for the drafted men on their way to
camp are being~prepared by the quar-
termaster's department. They are
at restaurants and boarding houses
where the men will take their meals
after reporting for entrainment.
There are places where one can get
ali he ought to want to eat for 60
cents, and not at all badly cooked and
served. There are other places wnei v
so cents would carry one only through
the preliminaries to a dinner And
then there are places as those who
have been hard up Know, where onv
can keep the vital forces going for a
whole twenty-four hours on less than
so cents. But that is no. What cuuIu
be called living comfortably
Some housewives operating on an
allowance will be interested in the 60
cents-a-mcal ruling. II she herself
eats twenty-one meals a week at home
and two other members Of the family
eat two meals a day at home, that
soots up to forty-nine meals a week
she IL expected to prepare. At 6U cents
that would come to s29.40 week for
meals.
This would be a pretty liberal AL
lowance for the home table OF three
people. Probably most housewives
would be overioyed to have that much
to do with. Uncle Sans ruling snay
have grave consequences. Is ma go
ing TO demand 60 cents apiece IN the
future, cash down, for each person
seated at her table?"
