RECEPTION GIVEN BY NEW CHINESE
 HEAD OF GOVT.

Picking, Dec. 2O-(Correspondence of The Associated Press) More than a hundred foreign men and women attended reception given by President Hsu Shih-chang and Mime. Hsu in the historic Imperial Palace yesterday afternoon. The diplo- matic establishments, the press and the business world were represented in the list of some five hundred in vited guests.
 As this was the first social func- tion on a large scale in which the new executive had participated since his inauguration, the event was of unusual interest, apparently to the Chinese guests as well as to for eigners. Utmost simplicity charac- terized the affair. The big audience chamber, doubtless the scene of epoch-making events in the past, was decorated with chrysanthemums and asters. A military band heralded the entrance of the president, who took a post before a gigantic floral pyramid in the center of the hall.
 The president is a medium sized man, stockily built with a pleasing countenance and a reassuring smile. He was attired in frock suit and looked the up-to-date eastern digni- tary He negotiated the ordeal of handshasing with all the ease and dignity of wer.ern public official. Since he speaks neither French nor English, Dr. Charles D. Penney, Chinese secretary of the American Legation, acted as introducer for a time, presenting several members of the diplomatic corps, but presently even that formality was abandon ed.
 This ceremony finished, the presi- dent joined Mime. Hsu, wEo mean while was holding a reception in an inner apartment for the women guests. A tea in studied foreign Style was served, after which the guests were invited to view a co1lec- ton of portraits of emperors and expresses dating back to the foun- dation of the empire.

RECEIVE INSTRUCTION
IN GAS DEFENSE

At each cantonment in the Unit
ed States a school has been establish.
ed where every officer and man re.
ceives instruction in gas defense. The
American gas mask. similar to the
British, Is as mechanically perfect as
the best experts have been able Ia
produce. The face piece, with glass
or celluloid eye pieces, Is connected
by a flexible tube with canister
carried in q knapsack. The incom-
ing breath comes through the canis-
ter. which Is filled with several lay
ers of chemicals. which neutralize or
render harmless the gas laden air.
Outgoing breath passes outside tho
face piece through a small valve.
The student In gas defense soon
learns to get his mask ON in a hurry,
six seconds being the standard time
when the knapsack containing the
mask is hanging at his chest in the
alert position. After intensive train
ing a gas attack is arranged. The
class Is put in trenches. and without
warning, clouds Of smoke and chlor'
Inc are liberated by the instructors,
masks are hurriedly put on. alarms
sounded and sleeping men in dugouts
aroused. When the attack ceases the
trenches are cleared Of gas. the air
| is tested. and permission is given to
remove masks.

THE SUGAR BEET
INDUSTRY

The recent agitation in regard to
prices received by the growers OF
sugar beets has much deeper sig
nificance than appears on the sur,
face.
First--The foreign sugar. cane In.
,terests, representing our imports, are
bitterly opposed to the domestic su.
gar beet industry and will spare no
effort nor expense not only to pre-.
vent expansion Of the industry but
to belittle what is being done.
second--Our American farmers do
not realize that the sugar beet Is
the greatest factor In the agricultur-
al development Of any section by 80
increasing the fertility that even II
they brought In no revenue It would
still pay to grow beets.
Third--That Of the seven princip-
al farm crops. namely: corn. wheat,
barley. hay. cotton. oats. and beets,
that sugar beets paid more than any
other one per acre. and nearly al
much a. the two highest--corn and
cotton clearly demonstrating that
sugar beets were q paying crop In
1917. even when all the other staples
were Increased in prizes nearly 100
per cent. while sugar was normal.
and the yield low. B
To pay for the can sugar We Inn
ported in 1917 at the present price
would require the stupendous sum Of
sl63.Ao7.ss5.
This in nearly one half our agri-
cultural exports to European coun-
tries for the ten months in 1917. In
other words. It took all the wheat
all the corn. barley. horses and the
mules to pay for our sugar.
