Wealthy Chinese Has Novel Trip
From this Life to Next
There was pretty custom among
some of the ancients when a promin-
ent citizen died, to send his valet
along with him on the road to Para
disc, and it was oftentimes necessary
to resort to extreme methods to in
sure this company for the departed
But in the territory Of the China
American Trading Company, Ford
dealers in Ticntsin, China, they have
discovered a much better aid to the dc
ceased over the rough places on the
trip TO the Promised land.
1t is Il custom of the Chinese to
burn various kinds of effigies at the
funeral ceremonies Of the rich, the
more wealthy the departed the more
elaborate the figures burned over his
grave. These effigies represent every
manner of thing such as human fig
ureS, horses, sedan chairs, tables
loaded with money, etc. The figures
usually conform to some of these ster-
eotyped fashions, but at the funeral
/ of a Mr.. Ii, who died a short time
ago in Tientsin, and who was a very
wealthy man, the bereaVed family
outdid themselves and made an imi-
tation of the deceased gentleman's
Ford car to be burned at his grave.
This Ford eagy was made entirely
OF strong Chinese paper stretched on
bamboo and reed frames. The car
was complete in every detail, the
pedals accurately placed, and al
made OF paper and bamboo. The in
terror of the car was also accurate in
detail, being carefully upholstered in
paper, The efiligy Of the driver as
shown in 4 photograph was work Of
art. The ear was carried about three
miles through crowded streets to the
graveside where a match was applied
and it was consumed in few min
utes.
This is the first time 4 motor car
has been burned at the grave Of a
Chinese, and there is every reason to
believe that the deceased went up
"On High"

SIGNAL CORPS

SIGNAL CORPS
The Signal Corps offers opportuni-
ties for rapid advancement to men
technically qualified for service there
in, and to those not qualified, the
means to acquired technical education
in one of its schools. The duties of
the Signal Corps are diversified an
interesting, and consist principally in
the transmission of military infor-
nation by electrical, visual, and other
means. Telegraphy (both wire line
and radio and telephony are extern
sively employed, including the con-
struction and operation of under
ground telephone systems; the opera
ton and maintenance of the Alaskan
Gable and Telegraph System; radio
telegraphy in connection with shore
and transport stations; photography;
homing pigeons, and other duties. OPP
portunty is afforded for service in
Alaska, Hawaii, the Philippines, Pan
anna, and the United States when va
cancies exist.
The Signal Corps is composed of
field signal and telegraph battalions
and service companies The men as
signed to battalions perform duty
principally in connection with the
transmission of military information
and the routine duties Of an organi-
cation, while those assigned to service
companies are usually employed as
telegraph operators, both wre-line
and radio, telephone construction
work, cable operators, care of homlng
pigeons, photographers, and other
Signal Corps duties.
Many men, having served an enlist
ment in the Signal Corps, during
which they awaited themselves of the
opportunity offered for theoretical
and practical study in electricity and
telephony, have returned to civil life
better equppcd professionally and
Have been able to secure positions
paying larger salary than would
have been possible without this in
stTpction.
