UNIQUE EXAMPLE OF LOYALTY
Popular Daughter Of Prominent ChI-
nese official 10 Married to Large
Red Vase.

Not long ago considerable commo.
ton was caused In the Chinese city
of Hankow when the attractive and
popular daughter of O prominent Chi
nese official was married with great
pomp and ceremony to large red
vase which was supposed to represent
q deceased bridegroom who had died
a few years before his marriage.
Whereupon his Observation-Disclosures
elect declared that she would never
marry any one else, but would devote
herself as widow for the rest of her
life to the family OF her husband. In
order to do this, however, 1t was neces-
sary that she should legally belong
to that family and so the strange cere.
mony with tho vase was gone through
with to enable her to become q mem
Der Of the family. Since then 1t has
been suggested that an arch should
be built In the city in order to com
memorate the devotion of the young
girl to the husband she never had.

China Market for Hafa.

Men who have wondered what be-
comes of the large stocks OF hats, caps
and clothing that remain unsold at the
close of each season In this country
will be Interested to learn that n con-
siderable portion of such stock is dis
posed of in China, where the men are
adopting the dress of their western
brothers. The rising generation of
Chinese Is particularly keen for head
gear worn in America. but the styles
seen there are always those that were
in vogue In this country the year be-
fore.
Much Of the mems apparel that fails
to find q market In this country finds
It's way to the far east. In a walk
through the streets OF any Chinese
city one sees derbies, fedoras and caps
that bear an American label Most of
the caps are of British make because
many of the tourists come from Lon
don, and in selecting cap the native
has no guide except the headgear he
sees on foreigners.

QUEER FACTS ABOUT MONEY
Average Lifetime of Various Denoml-
nations of Paper Currency Diff
fers Considerably.

The average lifetime of the differ
emit denominations of United States
paper currency differs considerably:
that of the 81 silver certificate, for
instance, being trine over one year;
the SIS silver certificate. 10 years; tho
$40 gold certificate 1853 years; $50
gold certificate, 10 years, etc. The
number of pieces OF United States pa.
per currency In circulation Is gradu.
ally increasing and numbered 327 800,
1859 on June 80. 1919, There were
273,426,336 pieces of United States
currency redeemed during the same
period, which exceeded by 6.2tS,415
the number of pieces issued the pre-
ceding year. The increasing growth
in redemptions is due primarily to the
growth in business activities, the pub
licity given to uncleanliness and al
legged insanitation of soiled notes. and
the consequent demand for cleaner
money; the growing practice of pay
ment Of wages in factories, shops, etc,
weekly and bi-weekly, as compared
with monthly; and growing popular

silver was formerly in tho greatest do

SAYS ALL WOMEN ARE LIARS
German Diplomat, Who Got the "Mlt.
ten" Declares Fair Sex Def
Client Morally.

"All women are liars and are def.
Client in their sense of moral duty"
This and more Is the opinion of
Baron Hermann Won Kuhlmann of
Bavaria, unmarried and attached to
German embassy at Pekin, who ar
rived on the Chiyo Maru recently.
According to fellow passengers, the
baron formed his views on the voyage
when his attentions to Miss Katherine
Enright of Chicago did not meet with
hearty response
"A woman cannot recognize the
same moral responsibility as man."
said the baron. mo marriage can re-
main a happy one for more than n
year. BY that time a man will lose
faith In his wife,"
Then. turning to Miss Enright, the
baron said:
I'VE have had a pleasant trip. But
to have you for wife IL could
never! You are too energetic"
Returning to the interview, the
baron continued:
Woman is Illogical and untrust-
worthy. She changes her mind too
frequently. Woman has no feeling re-
quiring her to tell the truth. In Ger
many a man and wife are comrades,
but in Amerlca--never. Here the
women are proud and selfish and the
men suffer for It,"

II is now believed that the mystery
of the formation and constitution of
coal, which has long puzzled students,
will be solved by means of the X-ray
According to French scientific
journal, there are two or three kinds
of ash In Goals: First, the foreign
matter carried by the wind or the rain
into the forests that gave rise to the
coal Next there is the mineral mat
ter that forms part of living plants
Finally. there is generally more or less
mineral matter due to the formation
of new compounds by tho decomposi.
ton of the first two kinds of ash.
The examination of coal with the x.
rays will probably lead to posi-.
BILE distinction between these three
forms of ash, and will thus contrib.
ute to throw light on the formation
of veins.

KEEP 4 STIFF UPPER LIP
And Adjust Business Under New
Conditions l. Advice Given Mont
rose Business Men

Montrose Enterprise
Keep q stiff upper lip and study to
readjust business under new condi-
tions. was the advice given TO Mont
rose business merchants by II. c.
johnson at the Moose hall in that city
Monday night.
Mr.. johnson is connected with the
Merchants Trade Journal of Des-
Moines. Iowa, and as a representative
Of that journal, has travelled pretty
much over the whole country looking
into the problems that confront the
retail merchant. In his travels he
has picked up a lot Of good thingsu
connected with the retail business,
which he is willing TO pass along to
those who care to profit from the eN-
periepce Of others.
After referring TO the unheard con-
ditions brought on by the world war
as they effect the retail business, Mr..
Johnson said that there are two ways
in which the conditions may be met by
the business men. One is, with a
spirit Of encouragement that tends to
throwing up the sponge; and that the
other is with the optimism that be-
lieves in taking advantage Of new con-
ditions and profiting thereby.
The first leads TO BANKRUPTCY, while
the other can lead TO prosperity If APP
preached in the right way. The way
out. according to Mr.. johnson, is not
TO grumhle and find fault with the
conditions, but to set about with the
idea Of readjusting ones business to
the now conditions.
Mr.. johnson then gave a good many
illustrations as 10 how different busi-
ness men throughout the country are
meeting the new conditions. lncreas-
ing the "turn-oycrs" without material
ly increasing the expenses sedms to be
the way most Of the business men are
meeting the conditions, according to
the many illustrations given by Mr..
johnson. Careful buying, based on
detailed knowledge of ones business
and care Of the selling price as based
on the full cost price of the article
sold. were pointed out as important
factors in the successful conduct of
business these days. Careful and in
telligent advertising was also referred
to as one Of the things the successful
business man should look TO- In any
attempt at cutting down expenses,
care should be taken not TO eliminate
factors which belong in the making of
a business. In fact, it was pointed
out. that the ruthless attempt to cut
down expenses has often merely ad-
dcd momentum to the process of send
ing business to the junk heap.
To sum up the whole matter, it is
up to the business man to do some
hard thinking as to what ails his busi-
ness in that the proper remedy can
be intelligently applied.

What

long standing customs. What a
difference from America, where We
are as free as Colorado's pure noun
tain air, where We delegate such REM
nants of the past to Satin's subter-
rean realm and live and do as we
please, so long as we do not interfere
with the rights of others. We Amer
leans are continually shocking their
sense of propriety, and thougNlessly
disturbing their peace of mind. 1t is
amusing to observe the intelligent
non-pretentious American soldier as
he mingles with these dear, good
people. For instance, he doesn't con-
slider it out of the ordinary to go stroll
ling down shady lane or in the park
alone with a pretty madomoiselle,
maybe the daughter of the most elite
and respectable citizen of the commu-
nifty. But alas! (altho the young lady
is willing) it is highly improper un-
less papa or mamma (or both such
imcumbrances) are in the immediate
vicinity to properly chaperon. And
so America learns about the old
world.

This is Monday afternoon, the wealth
er is hot enough to scorch a person.
However, this part of France is very
beautiful; it seems to be blessed with
sufficient rain to keep it green, espec-
tally the grape vineyards which cover
about one-half the land. 1t would
seem to me that the land might better
be used for the production of wheat
and corn for the allies than for the
production of wines. But of course
these good people have been at it so
long that it would break their hearts
il their long established vineyards
were destroyed.
i have been with the regiment of
coast artillery troops two weeks; they
are equipped with big long range
French guns pulled by tractors, and
motor trucks. In fact it is thoroly
