likewise to be built. Considerable
money Will be put in reclamation pro-
jects in and about the triumvlrate of
cities to be known as Greater Hankow.
The Hankow Improvement bureau will

engineer appointed to reconstruct Chi
mas Pittsburgh viii quite probably
come from Europe.
1t Is the central government of China
which is overseeing the rebuilding Of
busy Hankow. This is fitting since the
city was destroyed by the rebels. The
revolution started In Wuchang, where
is situated the arsenal and iron foun-
dries. Wuchang, city in itself Of
250,000, Is walled city, but the for
eign concessions all lie along the river
In Hnnkow. Wuchang Is not an open
port such as is IIankow, but IL has a
number of big industrial institutions
among them woolen mill, cotton
mill, and an albunen factory.
viii Be Busiest Place In China.
Northeast of Wuchang, in the obtusa
angle formed by the junction of the
Han and Yangtse Kinng, is situated the
port, or mart" of Hankow, designed
to be the busiest place in China as soon
as the three cities merge into Greater
Hankow. Hanyang takes its name
from the two rivers, Han and Yangtse
Klang, In Hanyang lies most of Great
er Hankow's claim TO distinction as an
active Industrial center.
| Here Is located the Hanyang iron
works founded by the late Chang Chin,
tung. These huge works own their
own ore and coal fields located near
by. Rails for China's roads used to
come principally from us; now they
come from the Hanyang mills. An
arms factory Is also located at Han
| yGng and many thousands of Chinese
are employed there under the direc-
ticn of Sklled foreigners.
For ali practical purposes Hanyang
may be considered us merely forming
suburb of IIankow. The construc-
ton Of fixed bridge across the Han
river will probably not be practicable,
owing TO the sudden and great changes
In the height of the water level. 1t is
therefore proposed to facilitate com
munication between the two cities by
means of transporter and when this
contrivance is completed the three riv.
er towns will practically be welded into
one, forming Greater Hankow.
Hankow is the strategic center foi
Chinn's system of railroads. Its riv.
ers are continually choked with traffic
Hitherto the only wharves available
have been in the foreign concessions In
Hankow proper, No intercommunica
tion was hitherto possible between the
three cities, all within stones throw
and aggregatlng 100000 people.
When llankow was burned during
the revolution, the citizens began tC
rebuild along the old, insanltary lines
II was this woeful inclination on the
part of the people which made the gov
ernment step in and borrow money
with which to rebuild on approved

CITY MARKETING EXPERT

One of the most interesting and
rapidly growing of the offices in the
department of agriculture is concern
ing itself entirely with the question of
cheaper and more efficient methods of
distributing and marketing food prod
ucts. In charge of much of this work
IS Miss Achsah Lippincott, assistant
in city marketing investigations in the
Office of markets and rural organiza-
tion.
1t Is interesting to note that Miss
Llpplncott Is the only woman In the
country come "nd with government

however, that she entered the office In
Washington. For two years previous
to that time she was in charge of the

Hankow's Fortunate Fire.
AS in the case of Chicago, n fateful
| fire has been the making of Hankow
1t was burned during the rebellion OF
1911-10l2. Following the fire the gov
! ernment borrowed 100000 pounds
sterling of British capitalists TO rebuild
and improve the city. An approprla
ton of nearly S5O,OOO,0OO should effect
a wonderful change in China's indus
trial center which is already Chlna's
most interesting city, especially from
an economic standpoint.
Hankow may be said to be three
cities In one. Ilankow and ianyang
between which is the colossal stee
works, are located on one side of tn,
river while'Wuchang lies opposite. one
of the projects planned with the bor
nowed money is a huge bridge to span
the Han river, or a tunnel to run be

TARNOWSKI AN ABLE DIPLOMAT

When Austrla-Hungary named
Count Tarnowskl as ambassador TO
Washington IL selected one of its best
diplomats. He is a Pole and proud OF
1t, but none the less patriotic Aus
trian. He was one OF the chief factors
in smoothing away the difficulties be-
tween Austria-Hungary and Germany
in the Polish question, and his dlplc-
matte ability made itself felt and was
recognized.
Count Tarnowsld is of distln-
guished bearing. He is somewhat
younger, perhaps, than Count Won
Bernstorff, to whom he bears some
resemblance both in appearance and
in manner. Count Tarnowski has
proved himself one OF the ablest dip

Bone Dry Law Does Not Give Viola
tors LoophoIe.

Topeka bootleggers with vision
that the bone dry law might be n
blessing in disguise in permitting
them to dodge a state prison sentence
for persistent violation have been
given a jolt by Judge George H. Whit
comb. The felony charge sticks uE
der prosecution now, the same as in
the past, according to instructions
given to juries trying liquor cases this
week.
Elisha Scott and other attorneys en-
deavored to get a ruling to the effect
that the passage of the bone dry law
wiped out the state prison punishment
provided in previous statute for per-
sistent violation of the liquor law. The
punishment provided by the bone dry
law prescribes Jail sentence and fine
for having liquor in ones possession.
Liquor cases have been in the ma
jority in criminal court this week.
The criminal docket for the October
term is looked upon by attorneys as
the most uninteresting in years. The
