gree that is true. In a home where
a baby IS expected, or where there is
a baby Of nursing age, a mother must
place her mothers duty above every
thing else in life This doesn't mean
that she need be an utterly idle para

TRAVELETTE
CHINA AND THEsPIUs.

AAAA-H4A nv u AAAAaaA ALla
from one source and another, news
/ has reached this country that Cha
PIh-Yung. the most celebrated OF
Chinese actors. IS now receiving a
salary Of $1,000 monthly for the ex-
hibition OF his talents. If the report
be true, It is Of great Significance,
for It would seem that ultra modern
notions have at last preached that
almost impregnable stronghold OF re-
action-the Chinese stage.
To Americans, accustomed to hear Of
small fortunes which our leading
stage and screen actresses are said
to receive for a single performance,
a stipend OF $1,000 a month may not
appear unduly munificent-Ior a play
actor. But In China, where a talented
painter OF clever porcelain worker IS
doing well to receive $50 a month,
where skilled embroiderers work from
dawn TO sunset for less than so cents,
where six or seven cents q day is
considered a good living wage II is
a sum unheard Of
The social status OF even the high
est grade Chinese actor is mean one.
The Brother Of the Pear Orchard" is
looked upon by barbeys, artisans and
mechanics as belonging to a class be-
meath them, and the polite Chinese
draws his robes about him when one
approaches. The Brother" is known
by his number rather than his name.
The level Of the Chinese actor is
about that OF the strolling player Of
medieval Europe. Any Mandarin or
lesser official can command the ac-
tors to set up & stage in his court
yard and perform for his pleasure.
As in the Elizabethian days In Eng
land, male and female parts are played
By men.

Jacob Boronstein. 1880 Third

The wholesalers we're given an op-
nortunity yesterday at the Rock Is
land club to present their defense for
fkilure to comply with the law when
r Lenfesty Of Chicago, deputy fed
ersl food administrator for the state
Of Illinois, was in session with the
Rock Island county food board. Evil
dence was taken and a report of the
procedure was forwarded to the food
administration in Washington.
First In State.
The four Rock Island men are the
first in the state Of Illinois to suffer
the suspension of their business for
violation of the Lever law, which pro-
yides that wholesale food dealers
must secure government license to
conduct their business.
The men pleaded ignorance of the
law and carelessness. State Food Ad-
ministrator Harry A. Wheeler OF Chi
cago was inclined to demand immedi-
ate prosecution Of the men, a convic-
ton meaning fine, the maximum of
which is $4,000, or Imprisonment, the
maximum Of which is two years, or
both.
The order suspending the business
Of the four wholesalers stipulated,
however. that they can dispose Of the
perishable goods they have on hand.
The Independent Fruit company,
Thomas Rozatari & Co., and Jacob
Boronstein deal in wholesale fruits.
T. S. O'Hara deals in wholesale flour,
feed, stock and poultry foods.
The men have applied to Washing
ton for license to remain in bust
hess. Whether or not this will be
granted remains to be seen. If the H.
cense is granted they will be permit
ted to again launch in business. 9th
erwise they will have to discontinue.
May Yet Be Prosecuted.
NJ O. Griswold, county food director
declared today that the board had
made certain recommendations urg.
ing that the federal authorities be
lenient with the wholesalers in ques-
ton and there is a possibility that
upon his recommendation the licenses
will be granted. He said. however
that the four will be watched and II
they make an endeavor to do bust.
ness in the meantime they. of course
will be prosecuted. There is no as
surance as yet that they gill not be
hailed into court and prosecuted fol-
violation Of the Lever law, despite the
recommendations Of the local board.
Mr.. Griswold said today that as fal
as is known all other wholesale deal.
ers were provided with licenses. II
was reported that Rachman & Co. had
been ordered to suspend business. but
this concern secured license Friday
and did not come in for government
action.
