FATt'S POOR JEST
Progressive Chinaman tire Vio-
tim OF Hard Luck.
Only Member of His Race Capable Of
Making Scented Soap, He Meets
Death While Conducting
Chemical Experiment.

500 Euo is dead. And with its
usual irony fate decreed that 500 ku0,
the only maker of scented soap in
China. should meet death by the very
means he had adopted TO provide a
livelihood.
Three years ago 500 Kuo worked in
a small hand laundry in East Liberty.
relates the Pittsburgh Dispatch. 500
Kuo had just come TO the land of the
white man and he was ambitious to
learn the ways of the West. So one
day when he heard from other of his
countrymen that a class in English at
which those of the Orient were vel
coined vas conducted at the Second
Presbyterian church, he timidly APP
piled for admittanee. In this way it
was thar he met Edwin s. Gray, who
for years had been guide, philosopher
and friend TO the Chinese of the city.
500 kuo liked the religion of the
white man and it was not long before
he expressed the desire to join the
church. After a year he heard the
call of the East and he began TO plan
for his return. Then he Went TO see
Mr.. Gray.
Il want TO learn to make soap" he
said.
And the reason was this:
Soap is very hard to get in China
and it costs very much. l am going
back to my land to teach Of the Christ
and | will need money II | learn to
make soap the money will come easy"
The benefactor declared he would
do what he could to gain an appren-
ticeship in soap making for Soc Kuo.
No factory in Pittsburgh. however
would entertain the idea of permit
ting 500 kuo to use it as school,
and finally Mr.. Cray turned to Car
negie Tech.
Yes, they would teach 500 Kuo to
make soap, and SO it was that each
night after his labors of the day were
tnisl ed 500 Kuo would go down to
Oakland and receive instructions. But
practical experience vas not to be
had, for tie reason that the school
possessed no soap-making machinery.
500 Kuo. however. had saved most
of the money he had made since his
advent to the new world, and soon
complete soap-making outfit was
shipped to him from New York and
intalied in laboratory of the school.
Later the machine was TO be shipped
to China.

italians Get Names Back.

Italians returning to their native
land after years of sojourn in Austria
are happy to again be called by their
real names. As soon as war was
declared all Italians residing In Aus
tria, who were not placed in deten-
ton camps or deported, were compeli-
ed to Austrianize their names.
Thus all proper names ending in a."
sc" or 80" were changed to the end
ings 'ich." itch" or ''tz." Corelli be-
came Corlich. Coretti had to be Kure-
itch, Rosa was Roza, while simple
Forna grew into Fornasharich. Many
other names were translated verbatum.
with amusing consequences. An Itai-
ian named Torrone (Strand in eng
lish) was compelled to change his
name TO Handkerchief (almond cake).
The Carlisle independent., 1919-12-18


When 500 Kuo had completed his
soap-manufacturing education hs
again went to Mr.. Gray and an
nounced:
q want to learn to make perfume.
Chinaboy likes his soap to smell good.
Much more money will be made by
putting perfume in it"
''But it can be purchased much
cheaper than YOU can make it, .Ir.
Gray objected.
No" declared 500 Kuo There
are many flowers in China. can
make it very cheap
And again Tech was appealed to
and again 500 Kuo began going to
night school, this time to be instruct
ed in the manufacture of perfumes.
\ year ago 500 Kuo sailed for his
native land, and soon glowing ac-
counts began coming from him in Can
ton regarding the success Of his soap
making factory.
He had made many friends IN East
Liberty, having become affiliated dur
ing the last part of his stay here with
the East Liberty Presbyterian church,
where he was known as George
Young, and these many friends heard
often az TO his work with the Chris
tan school he had founded in Canton
and of his beloved factory.
And then recently came the short
note from 500 Kuo's brother to Mr..
Gray. briefly announcing that while
Alixing chemicals preparatory to the
making Of subtle perfume an explo-
sion had occurred and 500 Kuo had
been killed. That was all.

MUST SQUELCH

Proposed League Of Nations
Anything But Union, Says
Former Secretary Of
Treasury Shaw.
Especial to The Bee.)


. Los Angeles, Cal, April s.-Be-
; fore the Des Moines club of Los
Angeles, in an address here last
night, dealing with the league of
= nations, in general, proposed by
. President Wilson at Paris, Leslie
M. Shaw, former secretary of the
. treasury of the United States and
. also former governor of Iowa. said
|. that President Wilson, as histor-
. ian, agrees with all other historical
writer's in that the experience of the
United States itself as a league of
. nations, during the period of the IS
! sovereign original states, was fail
ure.
. Said Mr.. Shaw: "The six years
following the revolutionary war
were more precarious ones for the
. is states than their seven years dur
ing the war"
Continuing Mr., Shaw said: The
admitted weaknesses of that expert
mental league are the identical weak
nesses which the critics OF the pro-
posed league discover in what has
been offered as a constitution for the
league. Under the old articles of
confederation many debts were in
! CURED and none paid. because the
league had no power to levy or
collect taxes.
Rejected Proposals.
These articles Of confederation,
like those of the proposed league OF
nations, could be amended by unan-
imous actions only, but the states
rejected one proposed amendment
after another. permitting imposition
OF five per cent tariff, proceeds to
be used exclusively in paying the in
terest OH debts contracted by the
league Cor confederation)."
NJ. Shaw pointed out that under
this arrangement things financially
went rom bad to worse until the
states were compelled to call con-
vention to amend the articles, this
proceeding resulting i'll the drafting
OF the constitution, its submission and
ratification, all of which fulfilled the
demand for "a more perfect union"
Regarding the claims that the
league of nations, as proposed at
Paris would prevent war, Mr.. Shaw
said;
who is credulous enough to be-
lieve that the proposed constitution,
which admittedly, does not unite,
but at best, only confederates, will
prove more efficacious as a peace
preserver than the constitution of
the United States, which Gladstone
declared the greatest chart of free
dom that ever fell from the pen OF
man at one time.
Not Union.
The proposed league of nations
is anything but union and yet, it
proposes, ultimately, to gather
within it's jurisdiction all the ma
tons OF the earth.
Economic rivalries, which Presi-
dent Wilson says. have been the
prime causes of war, and which. he
asserts, must be prevented in bind
ing terms, else peace would be both
insincere and insecure, are elimin-
ated as far as possible between the
states of this proposed union.
But if Mr.. Wilson's avowed in
tention to affect international free
trade by means OF this proposed
league is not definitely squelched
and prohibited, the American people
will surrender their industrial and
economic independence"

March Says Circular
Did Not Mean Amy Had
Not Curbed Typhoid

Washington. April s.-General
March said today the purpose OF the
circular of instruction issued by the
chief medical officer of the expedi-
tionary force ordering greater pre-
cautions against typhoid fever did
not mean that the army had failed to
curb the disease. The circular
charged that many officers had been
guilty OF negligence and careless.
General Marin pointed out that the
.pital admission rate for typhoid
fever during 1918 was $50 as against
a Spanish war rate of IS men per
thousand. The highest death rate
ever reached for this disease in the
American expeditionary forces in
F ance. he added, was 3.94 on Feb
ruary s, 1919, one-twenty-hfth OF the
Spanish war rate.
The total number Of deaths in the
American army in France from
typhoid fever was go, or at about
one-third Of the death rate from this
disease in civil life.
