been labeled by a civilization whose
every sense IS offended by this an

pie 10 tie square yard than in any

comb Of filthy streets only eight feet
: wide, three million people manage to
exist within a radius Of Il miles.
Most Of the crowded houses are
only one story high. They reek Of

The unpleasant odors Of fried onions
and chow-puppies steam from many
shops among them.
Conspicuous among those s1ovenly
novels rise pagodas and pawnshops-

Of the Orient. The pagOdas are the

But the most interesting OF Can

shops-veritable temples OF Mammon
whose severely plain, long walls
stretch up into the air above the
opium vapors and wild noises OF the
streets. In case OF marriage or death.
Il is 10 these pawnshops that the
wretehed poor come, and pawn what
ever goods they may possess in order
to secure the funds for the pOmpous
ceremonials which they believe nee
essary for the occasion. In the swelt-

pawn their winter clothing in the
tall grim shops As the seasons roll
by they pawn first one and then the
other set OF wearing apparel In Can

about moths or trunks-the pawn
