IN cal diSSenSiOn from within and
II without, is not the China of
yesterday. 1t is no longer
country Of small shops, rickshaws, and
coolies. Canton is going in for mod
ern department stores and skyscrap-
ers; automobiles are displacing wheel
barrow carts and other clumsy vehicles
In Shanghai and elsewhere; the coun-
try is building railroads, and fewer Or
ders are going abroad for locomotives,
cars and coaches, which means that
China is learning to build these things,
says Monroe Woolley writing in Grit.
The dragon, long slumberingA is now
thoroughly awakened. Sun Vat Sen
and Yuan Shi Kai, although enemies
politically, set an alarm clock that has
jumped China out of lazy bed at q
single bound.
Industry is the leading progressive
influence of the age. 1t Is the factor
which more than all else Is to lead the
Chinese to better things just as the
Japanese were led from the era of
paganism to full-fedged civilization in
few decades. China will change to
the new order of things almost over
night. She will cast off the cloak Of
medievalism and grab garment of
western cut much quicker and much
more effectually than did her neigh
Dor beyond the strait.

promising industrial capital. Hankow
might properly be termed the New
York and Brooklyn Of the empire be-
cause two large cities are divided by
the Yangtse Kiang. But the Chinese
insist that Hankow is designed to be
their Pittsburgh, and the nature Of the
city's business makes comparison to
our own steel center more fitting.
Hankow is a humming hive Of indus
try, and the Chinese declare it will
keep humming as long as China lasts.
That may be long, long time, for the
ancient empire can prove an antiquity
of 5000 years.
Hankow's Fortunate Fire.
As in the case of Chicago, fateful
fire has been the making of Hankow.
1t was burned during the rebellion of
1911-1912. Following the fire the gov
ernment borrowed 100000 pounds
sterling of British capitalists to rebuild
and improve the city. An appropria-
tion of nearly S50,000,000 should effect

FIGUREHEAD IS SEEN AGAIN
Toned Craft Resurrected rs Result
Of Cry for Tonnage

In answer to the war cry for ton
mage, a strange procession Of sailing
vessels is plying up and down the
American coast these days, company
Of old-fashioned craft whose noses
have long been in the mud and whose
commercial value seemed to have van
ished. But now with brave front these
old relics are filling the needs of YES
sels-and the brave front of the eight
zenith century ship, with it's heroic
figurehead, is again seen in New York
harbor after many years.
b The figurehead died hard among
other nations. AS an expression of the
poetry and superstition Of seamen 1t
has lived since the Egyptians and
Phoenicians decorated their prows
with the carved figure Of an ibis, To-
tus, phoenix, or sometimes gigantic
and all-seeing eye, and then confident
~ set sail under its protection For
these thousands of years the figure
head has been the seaman's god. He
has trusted the figurehead no less than
his compass or his captain, and there
is not sailor today of the old school
who would not welcome its return to
modern vessels.

Mr.. Snyder was called to the tele-
phone the other afternoon and ques-

sought to know the proper food for a
turtle. Mr.. Snyder explained that it
depended upon the type of turtle, and
