POOR DWELLING PLACE, THIS
British Naval Base of Wei-Hei-Wei
Has Decidedly Few Attractions
for European Residents.

Wei-hei-wei is the bit of Chinese ter
as q naval and commercial base. 1t is
Just across the breadth of the Shan
tung peninsula from Kiachow. Wei
hei-wei lies partly on the mainland,
partly on an island, where the dock
yard, the coaling station and the rest
Of the machinery for naval base are
located. Most Of the civilian popula-
ton live on the mainland, and patron
lie little steam launch that plies
across the intervening sea when they
want to go shopping; for with an eye
to getting the British jackies' trade
when warships put In to coal, the
shops of Wei-hei-wei are out with the
docks and the coal yards.
The island seen from the steam
launch is q barren, sandy HILL ridged
with gullies that the hurryips rain wa
ter has cut IN Its course to the sea.
The sand Of these hills Is one Of the
omnipresent features Of the colony {;
every wind that blows carries 1t about
by pounds, and only the cheapness Of
Chinese servants makes 1t possible to
keep a European household busted.
The mainstreet on the island has the
characteristic British colonial look,
With Q British post office, g British
Steamship booking office, and British
shops. On the short side street are the
Chinese shops, which are only opened
at certain seasons when visitors are
plenty, or when a warship puts in to
the harbor. tSass; ;S;fFstJ De. -@'-''~-.

SHOULD REMAIN OPEN
Closing Of Schools Subject OF Much
Comment. Looks Unwise to Many

Should the schools of Skowhegan
be closed? That question has been
widely discussed since it was made
known that the school officials had
decided to close them indefinitely ow-
ing to lack of fuel. 1t seems that
there is plenty of fuel in the schools
themselves but it has been set forth
that this should be taken from the
school buildings and sold to families
who are in need of it.
One Skowhegan citizen who has
been a leader in Civic affairs here for
some time says that it was a fool
hardy idea to close the schools. 1t
is the children, he says, who suffer
during the cold weather and wouldn't
it be better for them to be in a warm
school room than at home where lack
of fuel makes it impossible to keep
the houses at a normal temperature
The older people can stand a little in
convenience, it is the children who
suffer. This man, in further discuss
ing the question. said that according
to his idea it would be much wiser
scheme, if the churches are to be clos
ed, to keep the schools running and
bly, hall in the high school building.
