chen. With the Chinese. Ching-teh- chen and porcelain are SYNONYMOUS.
 Ching -teh -ehen Crown of Scenic Virtue,) is one of the four largest towns of China. Teeiahichally, 1t is town. because it has no wall. In real ity 1t is a busy industrial city of SVV,-
 GOO people, two-thifds of whom are engaged in the manufacture and sale
 of porcelain. Economically, 1t Is
 city to stir mems souls. Lengfeiiew,
 in his sKeFamos,' speaks of 1t.
 The geogra phical location Of Chlng-
 teh-chen is not accidental It became
 the pottery center of the country cen
 tuFieS ago because of the enoFmous
 quantities of excellent clay in the dis-
 trict around Pc Yang lake. More than a dozen kinds of excellent clay are found in the neighborhood of the lake. Two very descriptive words are used by the Chinese in referring to the composition of poreelain-'e'hi lSu,' or porcelain bone, and chi TO, or poree- lain flesh. The former gives strength and brittleness to a vase or bowl, while the latter adds resilieney and tough ness. Unless these clays are mixed in l the right proportions, the vessels will ] either sag or crack when placed Tn the l furnace.
 'FTeehnicaily, the bone clay is kae- l lin, OF China clay. It is an 1ntuslole substance derived from deeomposed l feldspar or granite. The flesh" clay l is a white, fusible material formed l from a mixture of feldspar and quartz. l "All of these clays are hauled to Ching teh chen in the form or sort I white bricks by small, fiat-bettomed l boats. Thousands of Chinese boatmen are engaged in this work.
 After the clays are thoroughly cleansed, sifted, and refined they arc | in nT0n0T- T tions, usually by barefooted boy, un- I til they are ready for the potter. The I wet lump of clay is then placed on the Il knob of the potter's wheel.
 I 'sFhe potter's wheel. which was in
 vented by the Chinese, is huge cir
 cular machine. about four feet In dl- Il ameter, made of heavy timbers to lend momentum. It rests on pefpendicu- l lar axis in a slight depression, or pit l, into which water and debris rapidly
 drain.
 'Fhe potter is perehed above the
 wheel, with one foot on either side, 1T
 order to allow sufficient space for th'
 movement of his hands. After revolv' ing the wheel swiftly with short pole he deftly and with mechanical pre- ! eision fashions a plate, bowl, or vase After years of practice he can esti'
 mate to within a hairs breadth th' proper size.
 "The piece is then removed an( , placed on a long tray in front of th' potter, where it awaits the next arti 1 san. Handles and other decorations made in melds. are added, and thel , the whole is seraped smooth and al lowed to dry until it Is ready for tn next process-the under-glaze decora , ton.
 Several basic coiors. like blue an' , red, can be painted on under the glaze The glaze is next applied in variou 1 ways-by dipping, by blowing on wit |. a tube, OF by sprinkling. After tn mark has been added the piece is read { for the furnace"

IMMIGRATION,

Evidence piles up to the effect that one of the questions with which the coming session of congress will have to struggle will be that of restricting immigration. It is maintained that the soviet govern ment Is planning to send many to this country to preach bolshevism while from to the effect that great numbers are awaiting an opportunity to get passage to this country and that steamship ac- commodations will not be sufficient to ac- coHmodate them for many months to come, while there are steamship lines which have enough applications for tick cts to keep them busy for a period of ten years if all were to be accommo- dated by them.
 Inadequate means of getting here Serves as a cheek upon the immigration tide and even though the neW corners are reaching this country at the rate of 75,- 900 a month they are not approaching the record that was established back in 1914 when about million and g quar- ter were admitted for the year ending in June.

Ching itch chen.

Ching-teh- chen, possibly stranger city to the average American, needs only this introduction: /"It is the home of Chinaware.v
 One of a series of bulletins of the National Geographic Society upon Where Our Imports Come From" quotes from a communication to the society by Frank B. Lepz, as follows:
 'The greatest industrial city of China is not one of the treaty ports, where the direct influence of western progress Is constantly felt, but a bus tling interior city of Kiangsi Province Ching teh chen. This is the famous porcelain and pottery center of the na- tion--indeed, it is the original home of the porcelain industry of the world.
 There are a few cities in America or Europe that are so completely given over to single industry as this one.

SETTLE CHAMPIONSHIP
FRIDAY ONCE FOR ALL

When Earl Caddock and Joe
Stecher face each other on the mat at
Madison Square Garden, New for
City, Friday night they will, once LOT
ali. settle the worlds wrestling
championship. There isn't the sight
est doubt that Caddock ana Stecher
are among the greatest grappiers mat
ever developed their strength ana
skill In this country. Caddock was
recognized as the worlds champion
until he donned the uniform and sail
ed across the ocean. When he be-
came A member of Uncle Sans army
he declared he was through with the
snort and intended to retire to private
life.
This left the title open and gave
Stecher an opportunity to work his
way to the top ladder of the sport,
BY travelling through the country
Stecher defeated all the leading aspi-
rants to the crown. The list included
STRANGER Lewis, Zbyszko. aud all
the other topliners. With these men
removed from the scene Stecher had
no deadly rival and then claimed the
championship, and his claim was
recognized by the followers Of the
sport
when Caddock returned to this

he was the real holder Of the title.
This started long argument. which
finally resulted in this match being
clinched
Both men arc compelled to wrestle
until one obtains fail. II makes no
difference how long il takes for the
fall TO be secured, the terms of the
match demand one. This IL the only
way the clear title to the champion
ship can be decided. a few wanted the
match 10 be two out Of three falls but
the new order OF wrestling calls for
one fall as sufficient to decide the
title
Both athletes are wonderful in
their style. Before he sailed for the
other side caddock was considered
by many followers OF the game as the
most wonderful wrestler since the
days OF Frank Gotch. A man OF "a
thousand holds" was the way the
grhppier was described. And he was
worthy OF the little. for Joe Stecher
was one Of his victims. Only once did
Caddock appear here and In that ex-
hihition displayed enough class TO
prove his claim TO greatness.
1t was TWO years ago that Caddock
and Stecher met and after three
hours OF wrestling Caddock was
awarded the victory on points In that
