When we speak of houses built of
clay in the United States, we mean
brick. But along the banks of a GER
tain river in the Yuman province of
China the idea is carried out much
more literally, according to the Kan
sas City Star There a lofty ver-
teal cliff of clay affords homes rent
free for several hundred people The
cliff is a bright yellow, so fine in tex
ture that a bit of it rubbed between
the fingers gives no feeling of grit. 1t
is easily dug out with spades, and g.
great many cave dwellings have been
excavated In the face of the cliff, over
looking the river. Some of them are
two and three stories, the clay being
so tenacious that thick horizontal lay
ers of it furnish a series of floors.
Nothing at all like these homes is
to be seen anywhere else in the world
1t is said. Scattered over the face of
the cliff among the cave houses, are
quaint buddhist shrines, with images
carved out of clay.-New York Sun

so appallingly honest, so absolutely

thoughtful in rendering friendly serv-
ices-Marcia writhed under some of
