beach transform them from duh

OF a girl Of sixte n. But it is
not only for q fire complexion that

HIGHER lnEA IN cfIIvALRY
Lover OF Today is the Man Who Can.
Make Little Sacrifices for
His Adored One. IS

When the feminists prepare a primer
for the propagation ofthe new idea
in chivalry Sir Walter Raleigh will not
be shown spreading q red velvet cape
before the queen with hair anu tenn
per to match. He will be depicted
robed in a bungalow apron, washing
the dishes for a spouse not recorded
in history, but who must be injected
into the scene to offset the pernicious
Elizabethan stuff.
Wonderful lovers are fine in roman
tic fiction, but when it comes to life
in Harlem flat or Greenwich VIII
lage studio, Mary Fisher Torrance,
magazine writer, humorist, suffrage
leader and Barnard graduate, roots
for the husband who breaks down tra-
ditional labor leagues and performs
the nocturnal china ablutions, says the
Sun and New York Herald.
ANY rlght-minded man who marries
college girl or woman in the pro-
fessions knows that she cannot en-
thuse over securing the kitchen sink
any more than he could, and that she
can get no more inspiration than he
can from cleaning the gas range.
1T is just dirty, grubby, disagree
able work, and when sometimes in
these days of servant rebellion help
cannot be procured at any price it be-
hooves the husband to pitch in and
go $3.50 by getting the pesky little
routine tasks out of the way as
soon as possible," said Mrs. Torrance.
"To me the higher expression of
chivalry is a mans performance of
the dull, disagreeable chores, which
every one of us wants to shirk, but
which he does to save woman from
doing them. And it is the better
class, educated. cultivated man who
is the first to do those things for his
wife when she is without help"

TIMES CHANGING IN CHINA
"GentIemen" of That Ancient Country

If they We're capable of such an emo

school, to say nothing of being studied

But the Chinese gentlemen Ut the

are interested in the future of China.
and as that future must necessarily
be agricultural, these particular gen
tlemen are interested in improving the
Water-buffalo. His temper is probably
acceptable enough as it is, for, al
though cross with strangers, the wa
ter-buffalo is gentle with those he
knows. A small boy. sitting on his

controls him easily, and whoever has
seen the creature dragging plow or
harrow through the swampy rice fields

Red Plows for China.

Chinese farmers are becoming more
and more interested in American farm
tools, and as time goes on a steadily
increasing number of such implements

"HUNGER STRIKE" NOT NEW
Was Successfully Employed as Far
Sack as the Days of the Early
Roman Empire.

The hunger strike, as a means to
gaining ones end, is not modern in
stitution. Like so many other things
that relate to personal and national
conduct, it becomes necessary to hark
back to the old Romans to find an in
stance of where it was successfully
employed.
1t was in 6 B. G. and Tiberius, the
famous general Of Emperor Augustus,
was the man who put it over with
dispatch that would have brought
praises from moderns.
Tiberius was man of dignity and
spirit, who represented traditional
conservatism. He was married to
Julia, daughter of Augustus, widow
Of Agrippa, by whom she had five chill
dren, among them Caius, who figures
in this tale. She was given to that
luxurious life which was feared by
the philosophers and legislators of the
time,
While Tiberius was engaged in the
campaign against the Germans, Julia
commenced to cut. up with young
arist0crat, Sempronius Gracious. Au-.
gustus had, II years previously,
made a law which just fitted her case
and under which she later was ex-
fled.
Julia not only continued her lax
career, but also started on outlining
a political career for Caius, then
fourteen years old. 1t was in direct
opposition to the aims of her husband
that she started campaign to have
Caius appointed pro-consul and she
worked her propaganda so well that
Augustus was finally compelled to
heed the popular clamor. Augustus
knew at the. time that this would be
offensive to Tiberius but thought he
might smooth it over by giving
Tiberius. tribunician powers and charg-
ing him with subduing a revolt in Ar
menia.
That is where Tiberius baked. He
looked upon the whole business as an
insult and demanded permission to re-
tire to private life. This caused a
clash with Augustus. It was then
Tiberius threatened to let himself die
Of hunger. Augustus remained firm
for a while, but being unfamiliar with
the length Of time human being
might go without food, probably not
having heard Of the 40-day fast by
Moses, he Welded at the end of-the
fourth day of Tiberius' fast. After
the senate had granted the permission,
Tiberius took his departure for Italy
and remained in exile for several
years.

ada. With the exception of report
that the balloon was seen passing
over Wells, N. Y, late that same night,
no definite word was received here of
the progress of the flight.
The balloon carried crew of three
men. Lieutenant Walter Hinton Of
Belle HarbOr, N. Y, a pilot under Com
mander Albert G. Read on the N Cas-
transatlantic flight, was in charge.
His companions were Lieutenants
Stephen a. Farrell, a line officer Of

Carried Three Days Rations.
The three officers we're supplied
with normal rations for three days,
which it was said would serve them
for ten days in an emergency. They
had fur lined garments and electric
ally heated warmers to make their
voyage more comfortable.
Ninety-six hours after the balloons
departure, when fears were first felt
for the safety of the aeronauts, wire
less stations and forest rangers in
Northern New York and Southeastern
Canada were notified to be on the look
out for the balloon.
A few days later two army airplanes
were sent from Mitchell field to AL
bany to begin an aeronautical search
over, th2 Adirondack mountains One
of the machines met with mishap on
the flight from Albany to Glens Falls,
their proposed base of operations, and
the other continued the search alone
but without success.
Canadian officials, who were ap-
prised of the flight, first advanced the
theory that the aeronauts had landed
in some remote section and probably
would make their way to lumber
camp or trading post.

Because of the infestation of the

against all parts of the state, north
of line running through McMinn-
Vile, east and west, which prohibits
the shipment of strawberry plants
from that territory.
California refuses the delivery of
strawberry plants in the state from
infested territory without a certiii-
cate of inspection showing that they
are free from infestation.
Attention is called to the straw
berry growers in the district contem-
