q A suey alphabet Of 20,0OO-odd charac-
tiers, and the savants Directing.
The chop-suey letters have stood the test Of
more than 8 900 years, and their great works
Of literature have been written in them. If
they were good enough for Confucius they
are good enough for Sun Yat-sen. Civiliza-
ton trembles in the balance, rocked by
progress.
The Ministry of Education however, has
gone ahead with the notwithstanding
work and prepared an alphabet Of thirty-nine
symbols, which will permit the average it-
crate Chinese to learn to read and write his
language in a period of approximately two
months. The object Of this alphabet is to
standardize the pronunciation Of the national
language for the promotion of education, and
it aas been adopted in an official mandate is
sued recently.
The Chinese language heretofore has been
divided into two parts, the written, or CLASH
cal, and the spoken, each amounting to a Ian
guage within itself. The written language was
not spoken, and the spoken language not
written. The words in each signifying SINH
lar object or action different.
When an Occidental student translates a
gracious phrase, reading: "Most Heavenly
and Benign Keeper Of the Umbrella Of Con-
fucus that has shaded US from the fire Of the
Dragons Eyes and turned the Shades Of the
Ring-tail Babboon from the pipes Of our
Kitchen Sinks" he is saying something that
isn't supposed TO be talked, but only written
The savants are very jealous of this written
language, upon which they have closed cor
poration, or did have till His Benefcent High
ness the Keeper Of Learning, otherwise
termed the Minister of Education, brought
about Chinese Lockwood committee and
tore it up.
These CELESTIAL litterateurs, rising to de-
Tense II their 20, 000-character chop-suey al

pso, Shanghai, have sought to prove that
their classical language presents no more

years in high school and four more in col

those who were with him led him away, ere
he could wreak more damage upon the servi-
tor of the sheik.
Thus ended the ordeal of the good Caliph
Hy-lan of the Rudy Countenance before the
servants of the Sultan Nathan.
And when he had retired the Sheik Meyer
approached Ell Brown Effendi, the surveyor
of the knowledge of man, who safe alone and
gloomy, saying:
Hast thou carried out the will of the
Sultan and measured the mind of the Calipa
Hy-lan?"
Then Ell Brown Effendi, shaking his head
in sorrow, replied
"Alas, the finest of instruments made by
man are untitled for such task"
And they wept disconsolate upon each
others bosom.

"That story you told the Ballus about their

Guern gave start and turned red
"How so?" he stammered.

He began to laugh Pere Faugue laid

But what will you have to tell on you

He reflected a moment and added:

HYoRo-ELEcTRIc POWER
SOUGHT FOR PROJECT

TUCSON. June S.-That hydro-elec-
trio power may be available for the
farmers Of the Post project which
would solve the difficulty Of an irri-
CATION water shortage. from which
many farmers are suffering, is the be-
lief expressed by Albert Steinfeld. Mr..
Steinfeld learned yesterday that pow
er was to be furnished the Casa
Grande farmers from Sacaton. one Of
the lower Roosevelt projects. and II
electricity is to be extended to Casa
Grande. the expense OF a still further
extension OF the lines should not be
prohibitive. as Casa Grande is but so
miles away, Mr.. Steinfeld thinks.
Mr. Steinfeld is now in communi-
cation with the proper officials of
the Roosevelt project asking for full
details and the possibility of securing
hydroelectric power for the farmers
OF the upper Post farms.
