ent high hopes of the peoples of the world" says
the Cincinnati Enquirer.
China must be released from selfish outside
Until this be done, there never
can be any assurance of a world peace that is
worthy of the name. The open door IS all night

international epic now in preparation. There is
no other alternative than that the land of Con-
fucius shall be stabilized, preserved from the
aggression of all powers and by China is meant
all that part of Asia which is China in fact.
THE dream of the young progressives in

Now is the time to settle this matter. Now is

dramatic and amazing proclamation by one
equally dramatic and anaZing-the proclama-

Help the Margaret Smith Home

Next Monday ushers in donation week for
the Margaret Smith Home, an institution of
mercy whose beneficent influence has cheered
many lives in the years of its existence.
The management of the home asks its friends
to send canned fruit and other edibles to the in
stitution. Here is a request that should meet
with generous response. The home is not self
supporting by any means, and the deeds of love
and mercy that manifest themselves in answer
to the appeal will be appreciated by the manage
ment.
A worthy charitable enterprise usually re-
ceives the hearty cooperation of the citizens.
Here is another opportunity to manifest our love
for those who are in distress and worthy of our
love and kindness.

kRAb!ANS DO THINGS
CONTRARY TO WAYS
OF WESTERN PEOPLE

(From the Cleveland Plain Dealer)
The average Arab does the oppo-
site of what the average man of this
land does. To some travellers, indeed,
Arabia seems a topsy-turvy land of
curious contrasts.
For instance, our men take their
hats off when they enter a house. The
Arab takes off his shoes and leaves
his head covered.
The Arab mounts his horse from the
right side. We mount our horses
from the left side
We milk our cows on the right side.
The Arab woman milks her COW on
the left.
The Arab keeps his head we'll COW
cred even in summer, while his feet
are naked even in winter.
We measure most of our liqueds and
weigh most of our solids. The Arabs
weigh their liquids and measure their
solids.
We read and right from left to right.
The Arabs write and read from right
to left.
Uses Wooden Utensils.
The Arab rarely if ever uses 4
household utensil made of metal. If
he uses a knife, fork or spoon, the
Arab makes sure it is wood.
While we have tables and chairs
and couches to lift US from the floor,
the Arab squats upon the floor, sleeps
on the floor, and even in the streets,
'crouches on his heels in the dust.
While We train our boys to rise
when a woman enters a room, and
still have hopes that our men will
rise to give women seats in our cars,
the Arabs way is far different. He
never thinks of rising when a woman
