BELGRADE Hit Hard by War.

Belgrade, the capital Of Serbia and
]ngo Slavin, is noY n mere shell of its
former self. The Serbs used to be re-
narkably proud of their metropolis.
Did they not possess city with first
class hotels, electric cars. u boulevard,
GOOD shops and all other modern con-
vcnienccs, not to mention. profusion
Of the coffee houses and gardens so
Gear 10 the heart Of the Serb?
The coffee houses of Belgrade are
more OF an institution than the tavern
ever was in London. A cupful Of black
coffee in 4 public garden, u military
band playing the weird Slavic songs,
and the young people dancing the old
1olk dances on the grass-these repre-
sent the height Of contentment to the
Serb after days work.

cadet work by combining with 1T
sports programs whereby the kcenest
rivalry in athletics will be encouraged
throughout Victoria. General Brands
scheme has been enthusiastically well
coined by the boys and by citizens

in the sporting competitions between

IN EVERYTHING TOPSY TURVY
Dress, Manners, and Customs in China
Are Direct opposites Of Those
of the West.

Men wear gowns and women
trousers In China, which Is one Of the
customs that makes the land topsy
turvy. Upon meeting a friend, the
Chinaman shakes hands with himself,
not with the friend. In hot sunshine
he shades not the nape of his neck,
but the front of his head, while re-
turning home he refreshes himself
with a cup of tea putting the saucer
on top Of the cup and not under it.
1t is not unknown in China TO kill
ones enemy, but 1t Is more common
form Of revenge to heap shame upon
an enemy by committing suicide at
his doorstep. Many other instances
can be mentioned which make the
Chinaman different from the Western
er. Thus no likes eggs not newly laid
but those that have been buried for
several years. He drinks his wine
hot instead Of iced. Books are printed
to begin Mt the end and work back
ward, with the lines reading from the
top Of the page downward, and from
right to left.
The most unusual Chinese way in
rowing boat is to "yuloh," with one
long oar at the stern. When two oars
or SOULS are used, the Chinaman,
contrary to the Europeans method
stands and pushes instead of sitting
and pulling. If he sits he leaps back
against the stern and thrusts on the
handle of the oar with his feet.

Revelations That Came as a Shock to
Wounded Soldiers in Hospital
at Washington.

Here is melancholy story about
markers"
markers are marked playing cards
so that he who plays may read the
backs of the cards. Wounded soldiers
under treatment in the Walter Reed
hospital in Washington play cards
continually. They use decks which
are given to the hospital, not new
decks, but those which have been
used once by Washington clubs, cspe-
cially bridge whist clubs Of women in
society.
keen-cyed soldiers. as the story now
goes. were surprised to discover one
day that some Of the cards were
marked by small knife point indcntu-
lions on the border Of the back. The
marking was not accidental.
Scrutiny showed that the high cards
Eight spot up to ace-were carefully
marked. The marks were so faint as
to be almost imperceptible. but a per-
son familiar with them could read the
backs.
Immediately there was a search for
the card marker, for the soldiers may
gamble n bit now and Extraordinarily
they don't, but actually they--well,
It's nobody's business If one wounded
buck private wishes to wager another
wounded buck private that his five
cards beat t'other chaps five cards.
Anyhow, II somebody was marking
cards in the hospital the boys
wished to talk to him. But investiga-
ton revealed-and this is where the
hospital soldiers were shocked-that
whatever marking was done took
place before the cards arrived at the
hospital. Not all decks were marked,
only 4 deck now and then.
The inference seems to be that
somebody In Washington club life,
woman's club life at that, is gracious
~ giving the wounded soldiers once
used card decks which have somehow
been knifc-pointed. The war veterans
say that they have been she'll shocked
and otherwise startled, but they are
vastly amazed Mt phase of society
lie in Washington.
