To Develop Wild Pears.

The worlds largest stock of pear
seedlings of wild, blight-reSisting va
riety found in Manchuria, is located on
the Iona Rica ranch near Grass Val
ley, Cal. The young trees are from
seeds brought directly from China and
number about 100000.
Three genealogical experts from the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture, Professors Allison, Wright and
Kingsman, recently inspected the stock
and approved the experimental work.
The original trees, known as the
Pyrus usuriensis, are found growing
In the ancient burying ground of the
kings of the Manchurian dynasty, and
1t is only since the overthrow of the
dynasty that the seeds became avail
able. The tract is said to be vast
and to be grown to trees of immense
size.
BY grating the commercial varie-
ties of pears upon this stock good re-
suits are expected to be obtained.

Service of women citizens on the reg

personal revelations about their
neighbors.
A man who holds a position In the
city government had always given his
real age, now As, before women sat on
the boards. When his wife went In
to register for the first time one Of the
women on the board said to her:
"Oh, Mrs. Blank, isn't your husband
an old codger?"
"Why, no." said Mrs. Blank, II don't
think Al is so very old"
"But he registered as Al"
Silence fell and Mrs. Blank entered
the booth to fill out her enrolment bal
lot.
Next year, when the husband en-
tered the registration place and was
asked by a man on the board his age,
he replied, $40"
The woman whose undue interest
had evidently caused a family Bible
meeting looked at him and her look
said volumes. But he stared her

COMMUNITY MOVIES

The Community Movies have re-
Gently received a very gratifying
boost, by being officially recognized
by the Women's Auxialiary who
have voted to give their financial
and moral support to this much
abused and much misunderstood UNI
dertaking.
During the past few weeks, the
quality of the pictures shown have
been far below the standard, due to
the dwindling free-will offering.
This offering has never averagede
than half enough to defray the ex,
pense of the programs given, and the
deficit has been met by few who
have the welfare of this undertaking
at heart.
About month ago after consult
ing practically all interested parties,
it was decided that in order to con
tinue, a small admission fee would
have to be charged. However it
was idI6T IOuHu lldI uHuST lhS CA
listing city ordinance, we would be
subject to license fee of 500 an
nually.
The matter was at once placed be-
fore the Council, who have prom,
ised to draft a new ordinance for our
relief, but so far have been delayed
by the stress of more important bust
ness.
The management expects soon to
be able to present some excellant
Dramas, and these will be given as
soon as the movies are established
on a more substantial basis, Among
the subjects to be shown are "The
Mill. on the Floss, Robin Hood and
others of equal value.
The Program for this week will
consist of six reels and will be given
on Friday at 1880 p. m. Hereafter
the regular movie night will be Fri
day at this time, and we look for
ward for your attendance and sup
port.

WANT LANGUAGE UP TO DATE
Common Sense Behind Literary ReVo-
luton" That Is Now Prevail
Ina In China.

What is termed the literary revolu.
ton I'm China aims at a reform of the
language used in books, magazines
newspapers and public discussion. The
outsider will jump to the conclusion
that this means an attempt to encOur-
age a phonetic substitute for ideo-
graphic characters. Not at all. There
is movement to supplement ideo-
graphs with phonetic signs to show
their pronunciation, the aim being
quite as much to standardize pronun-
citation as make It easier to learn to
read. But this movement arouses no
such interest and excitement as the lit
erary revolution.
The latter is an attempt to make the
spoken language the standard Ian
guage for print. Literary Chinese is as
far away from the yernacular as Latin
Is from English perhaps further. 1t is
a speech of 1000 years ago, adorned
and frozen. To learn it is to learn
another language. The refOrmers were
actuated by the practical impossibility
of making education really universal
when in addition to the difficulties of
mastering the ideographs, children in
the elementary schools are compelled
to get their education in terms of
foreign language.
They are actuated even more by the
belief that it was not possible TO de-
velop a literature which shall express
the life of today unless the spoken Ian
guage, the language of the people, is
used. Apart from the employing and
enriching of the vulgar tongue, it is
not possible to develop general discus
sion of the issues of today, social,
moral, economic.-New Republic.

Pennsylvania Dividend Action

Usually a dividend meeting Of the
Pennsylvania Railroad directors IL
perfunctory affair, at which it is taken
for granted that the regular quarterly
dividend of IL per cent, or 75 cents
share, will be declared. To-day's sched-
uIed session Of the board offers GER
tain element of uncertainty, which has
been engendered by the recent decline
in the price Of the stock to the lowest
level in nearly half century. At least
one member of the board has stated
within recent weeks that ne did not
believe the dividend would be passed, as
some Of the Wall Street pessimists have
been predicting. The general expecta-
ticn of the Street Is that "quarterly
dividend" will be declared. Whether
it will be "a per cent or only ! per
cent only the result Of to-day's meet
ing will show. 1t is safe to assume
that the Pennsylvania is at present
running. far short of its dividend re-
qurements, but it seems reasonable to
believe that the directors will take into
consideration the past enviable earn
ings record of the road and the large
army of stockholders that will be af-
fected before ordering any change in
the dividend policy. The quarterly
dividend rate which the company has
been paying calls for disbursement
OF $7,500,O00. If the rate is reduced to
l per cent the payment to stockholders
would amount to $4,000 900, saving
of $2,5OO,OOO.

Routine AGWI Meeting

Nothing unusual happened at the At

meeting yesterday in Kittery, Me,
where is located the companys cor
porate headquarters According to dis
patches to the Wall Street news agen-
cies, the meeting was purely routine.
except that the stockholders voted to
change the date of the annual meeting
from the fourth Tuesday in April to
the fourth Tuesday in May. This
change, it was explained, is to enable
the company in the future to have the
annual report ready for presentation at
future annual meetings. For the last
two or three years, owing to dealings
with the railroad administration, this
has been impossible. The 1920 report,
if is understood, will not be ready for
publication until some time during the
summer. AGWI directors Will meet in
New York tomorrow, but 10 action is
expected on the preferred dividend.
