often, the water wasn't very pure to

VICTOR OVER CHINESE DRAGON
Amerlcan-Made Motortrucks Are Win
ming Way to Popularity In Land
Of Conservatism.

Way back before the year 1 they
used to build high stone walls around
the cities in China to keep out the cx-
ponents of civilization. Today they are
tearing down these walls, breaking
them up into fine pieces, and using
them to build highways that will ell
able their now progressive govern
ment to make the best use Of the
American-made motortrucks which
China Is beginning to utilize.
This is, perhaps, as striking n com
ment on the economic and political
changes that are taking place within
this interesting country as has come
out OF China In long time. The cred
1T for such progressive policies Is given
In the main to DR.. George t. Morris,
FAMOUS explorer and political adviser
to the Chinese republic, an exchange
states. Doctor Morris has succeeded
In substituting Il lot Of new American
ideas for the superstitions and conscr-
vatlsm Of the one-time "heathen Chi
nee." And now 1t Is the motortruck
that has gained his championship.
A considerable number Of trucks are
now In use In China, and they are do
Ing everything required of them with
remarkable efficiency, In spite Of the
difficulty Of securing skilled drivers
and competent mechanics in that part
Of the world.
