CHINESE BECOME
SOCIAL PIONEERS
Men and Women Form Good Fe!-
loWship Club Together Under
! T., Y. w. C. A. Leadership.

The Good Fellowship Club has made
It's appearance in society in Hangchow,
China.
1t began with the desire of a pro-
gressive young Chinese doctor to give
his compatriots, especially the Chris
tians, some healthful form of social in
tercourse
Channels for a good, clean, social
life among Chinese people are very
limited. Until recently becoming a
Christian often meant cutting oneself
Off from ones friends and relatives,
also from feast days and festivals.
AS for joint meetings of men and wom-
en-well, such a thing was never heard
Of In decent society.
The young doctors plan of having
a club where men and their wives
might come together to enjoy a good
time with each other was discouraged
and shifted at However. few people

agreed to be pioneers in the cause Of
social intercourse, and Y. w. G. A. Sec
retaries agreed to help make the club
a success.
At first the meetings Of the club
were laughed at by outsiders and the
whole affair considered a joke. How
ever, the members kept ON meeting
first at one house and then at another.
Soon the men got over the feeling Of
strangeness at starting out with their
wives on Tuesday evening for
friends home. The women began to
enjoy the outing and to take part in
the discussions-an intelligent part,
too-much to the surprise Of their hus
bands.
The membership grew. The clubs
fame began to spread. At first the dis
cussions of the club were conducted in
English. Soon Il Became necessary
for them to be carried on in Chinese
so that more of the women could un-
derstand and take part Many of the
scoffers began to apply for admission,
The members began indulging in much
friendly chatting and occasionally for
got their dignity to play jokes on one
another Finally it became so large
that it had to be divided into two sec
tons, which met separately three
Tuesday evenings In the month and on
the fourth Tuesday met together for a
joint session, with special program.

can and German colleges, an old Bud

ENGLISH is COMMON TONGUE.
Chinese Girls Learn It to Talk to One
Another.

Chinese women students in the Tung
Flu College, Picking, China, are obliged
to learn English In order to talk with
one another because of the different
dialects used by the student body.
Girls from the extreme western
provinces Of China, who attend the
school, must remain in Picking during
all Of the eight years required for
their high school and college train
ing, because to return each summer
would require six weeks for the trip
one way and would cost more than a
trip to America and return.
Girls from each Of the western
provinces speak different language
and they cannot understand one an
other any more than they can the girls
from northern, southern, eastern or
central provinces. Hence, they have
adopted English as a common tongue.

Cotton

Reports of an improving tone in the
goods trade and smaller Southern
offerings seemed largely responsible
for the advance in the cotton market
yesterday. May deliveries sold up from
21.18 to 22.3O or more than $4 per bale
above Fridays final quotation, and
closed at 22.15, with the general list
closing very steady at a net advance
of 80 to so points.
The market opened at an advance of
/ point on June but generally 7 to 20
points lower under a continuation of
the rofit-taking which had been at
tracted by the advance to 2l.S5 for
May on Friday morning These offer
ings were soon absorbed, and the
market became very firm later on more
or less general buying. The bulk of
the demand was attributed to recent
sellers who were supposed to be losing
confidence in predictions of lower
prices owing to the diminishing press
ure from the South and more favor
able view of the goods situation Aside
from this there was scattered buying
partly from trad sources while the
advance met very little opposition
until active old crop months were sell
ing 76 to 85 roints above Fridays clos
ing figures New crop deliveries were
less active but October sold at 20.16,
making a net advance of Sc points.
The close was several points off from
the best under protit-taking by early
buyers.
Reports. from Fall River indicated
that more cloth mills were running on
short time previously. The uneX
pected large domestic consumption
figures for January appeared to have
lessened the Importance of curtail
ment reports as an immediate market
influence, however, and traders were
more inclined to emphasize the reports
Of a somewhat improved scattering
demand for goods. Very little, if any,
Southern selling was noted around the
ring. Earlier in the week the South
was a considerable seller here, pre-
sumably as hedge against spot hold
lngs. In some quarters the diminish
ing pressure from that source was
taken to mean that more weakly held
cotton had either been liquidated or
protected by sales of futures. Others
recent selling had been mostly against
low grades and that the increasing
discounts against deliveries of such
cotton on contract. both here and New
Orleans, had rendered the operation
less attractive.
The local market for spot cotton
was steady and 70 points higher at
26.5Oc for middling compared with
25.8Oc the day before and 31.35c the
year before.
The range Of pr.ces follows:
