COULD NOT AFFORD BREAKAGE
Why Indians of North and South America Were Forced to Become
 Weavers of Baskets.

Many of the Indians of North Amer. ica at the present time are experts in weaving water-tight baskets of reeds and roots. In South America they are woven from the native palm fronds. The Indians of South Af- rica are skilled basket weavers and are noted among the different tribes for their cunning disposal. and adapt ability of whatever substance is most convenient.
 In nomadic Indian races it became an acute necessity to possess un- breakable cooking and dining uten. sils, so the resourceful housewife in stead of burning all of her twisted grass bundles began to find in them the possibilities she craved, for as yet in her movable cupboard were no pieces of pottery.
 Basketry predated pottery for ages, but when the two were fnterlinked 6 great advance was made in house hold economics.

WHY-====='==='=. Planting of Nut Orchards
 Would Be of Benefit

A movement has just been started to impress upon the people Of the United States the vital part that nut trees of all kinds must have in any sound national or state tree-plahting program in this country. Back of 1t are men who have achieved remark able results through scientific experi- mental work in nut culture, and who are now striving to awaken the farm CTS of the country in particular to op- portunity. It is we'll known that nuts, which are exceedingly rich in protein and fat. have too long been disregard ed as an item of the staple diet.
 Nut trees in great numbers along the national and state highways, nut trees on the barren hillsides, nut orchards of varieties especially adapted to cli- mate, prolific in bearing and of good savoriness into the bargain-such a program, scientifically handled, will one day, according to the belief of au- thorities on the subject, help in a large measure to solve the problem of the nations vanishing food supply. Such figures as these are cited: "A little nut orchard 200 miles square will supply one-third enough food to feed 100,000,O00 citizens. Thus 25,000,000 acres of nut trees would more than supply the whole people of the United States with their two most expensive food products-protein and fat"

The way to all things at Ginling lies
through the moon door. And through
the moon door on the way to wisdom
pass and repass, every day the 70
Chinese maidens of tie ".~,ing-gwan
The moon door at - ne is round
as the full moon wtcl; it has its
name. And the Chinese maiden. as
she steps over its high sill, may spread
wide her arms and still not touch its
rim with the tips of her fingers.
Some times across the court yard is
another moon door, and beyond 1t, like
a smaller concentric circle, still an
other, leading on through that Chinese
puzzle of a house, the "gung-gwan" or
official residence at Marking, China,
which is now the home of Ginling Col
lege for Chinese girls-one of the three
women's colleges in all China.
The moon door is but single fea
ture of the old place. Once inside the
high stone walls that enclose it one is
lost in a maze Of courts and galleries
and covered passages and isolated
rooms.
The whole is China, old China and
new. The moon doors and the archi-
lecture as q whole lend the dignity and
the greatness Of old China. But the
laboratories and dormitories, libraries
and studies made from the old rooms
Of state and ceremony are modern.
Just as the spirit of the Chinese girls
who use them is modern; just as the
force of America is behind it all, rep
resented by the five American mission
ary organizations and the American
Smith College which maintain Ginling,
ID modern.

moon door, latticed over paper in
plum blossom and honeycomb design,
and enters a chemical laboratory set
up In a room with 20 windows, each
framed in dragon tracery. And from
the fagstones Of the laboratory door,
often is scraped fungi and mould for
use under the microscope.
These are typical contrasts Of Gin
ling College, revealed through the
survey of the Chinese field now being
made by the Interchurch World
Movement, which seeks to promote the
closer cooperation Of Protestant
Churches Of America in attaining their
world aims.
Ginling College the survey shows, 10
at the heart Of five Chinese provinces
with total population Of 10000, 900
and is the only woman's college in that
great area. Yet its capacity to receive
young Chinese girls is limited BY the
capacity Of the old "gung-gwan," rent
ed since the beginning Of the institu-
ton, four years ago.
Fund O. ssoo;ooo
Ginning owns 81 acres Of land on
the hills beside the Yangtze river. In
the Interchurch World Movement sur
vey Of China, there is budget item
of $5OO,OOO. It is there to show the
Churches Of America how they can place
upon that land on the hill the library,
administration building, recitation
buildings, chapel-all that are needed
for a modern college. Unless the fund
is available by 1921, many young wo-
men Of China seeking college educa-
tions must be denied admission to
Ginling, because the old "gung-gwan"
is too small.

More than S8 per cent Of the homes
In New York City are rented. In the
Borough Of Manhattan the percentage
rises to 81.
Nor is this condition limited to the
Metropolis. It is common to most
cities. The people Of the United
States who live in rented homes are In
excess Of "a per cent Of the population,
according to the latest government re-
turns. About IS per cent own the
houses in which they live.
These statistics have been collected
for the survey Of city life now being
conducted by the Interchurch World
Movement to provide a practical pro-
gram for closer cooperation of Protes-
tant Churches in America. And the
survey already reveals one Of the
gravest problems now confronting the
Church.
Rented homes, the survey shows,
mean migrant families, for the day Of
the long lease Is passing, and increases
in rent cause Increases in moving. The
migration Of families has shifted and
changed the congregations Of urban
churches. And too often the family
that moves beyond the reach Of one
church does not transfer its member
ship to another, even though it attends
that other.
The moving family, say the workers
on the survey, leaves the church. letter.

ming to think, 1t would have been dead

them.
One preacher in q pastorate Of 10
years noted 5000 changes In his con-
gregation.
The present generation Of the city,
the survey reveals, Is a generation Of
wanderers because Of the growing
number Of rented homes and the rising
rents. AS result, the family church
is becoming an urban rarity. The fam
lily in which the father Is q founder Of
the Church he attends, married to q
member Of the congregation, and with
children baptized by the family min
lister, is more and more seldom found.

Toe often the increase In rent has
sent the family to another neighbor-

Is to determine how, through that

i. S. Has MONOPOLY
On Worlds Supply
OF Molybdenum
Country Independent Of
Steel Alloys in Event For
eign Supplies Are Cut
Off, Says Manufacturer

The United States contains so per
cent of the worlds supply Of molybden-
um, according to L. B. Phillipson,
president of the Climax Molybdsnun
Company. and as result Of thi-
monopoly would be independent Of steel
alloys, now secured by importation, N
the event of complications that would
shut Off foreign supplies and otherwise
seriously cripple the steel industry IN
this country.
There are only five commercially
practical ailoyng elements" Mr.. Phil
llpson stated. "These are nickel, van
adlum, chromium, tungsten and molyo-
denum. The United States is compelled
to import the first three elements The
fourth, tungsten, while itsstill is being
mined IN this country, Is rapidly De,

monopoly on molybdenum ore, and, u
ever we were shut off from supplies o.

Over the Peak

Operating costs of public utility en-
terprises reached approximately The
peak OF the rise to which they were
carried by war conditions in 1919, ac
cord'ng to Stone & Webster, who have
completed an analysis Of conditions in
this field. Electric light, power. and
gas companies" 1t is stated, "have dem
onstrated an ability to readjust rates
and operating conditions to Offset in
creases in operating expenses and con-
tinue satisfactory return on the in
vestment. Street railways are gradual
ly but more slowly readjusting rates
and methods of operation. and promise
ultimately as satisfactory results a.
those which have been obtained by

higher street railway fares than the old
