Chinese Art.

The applicability Of Chinese art for
interior decoratioa of any period is
being strikingly illustrated in a recent
gallery opening in New York. The
idea that anything Chinese is gaudy
is being gradually displaced. In the
carving of gems, the working of metal
and in tapestry designs the Chinese
are without rivafs.o The owner of the
new gallery has fitted up half a score
of rooms in period designs-there Is
the old French I and English, the
American colonial. the carly Italian
and the Holland rooms. Fitting snug
ly into the general tone of the room
are marvels Of Chinese craftsmanship
in the form of hangings, carved wood
work. tapestry and lamps. 1t is rev.
elation to many and has new con-
ception of Chinese craftsmanship.-st.

English Women Go on Record as Op-

averred, once and for all time that:

mans. i:"i
Women talk less than men.
Women can keep a secret.
"One irritating CUSTOM" said Miss
Hodge, comes from, an age when to be
fair was woman'ss first and foremost
duty. The only women who counted
were for ornament rather than for use.
Women may be the weaker sex physi-

FARMER OWES MUCH TO MJL;
Animal Is Hard and Rugged Worker
and Almost Indispensable in
Many Localities.

The mule, like everybody else, has
his place. He is considered bad
actor. Fathers caution their sons
about going near any animal with long
ears ard ropy tail. The sons know
what the animal will do because they
have been looking over the funny
paper" each Sunday and were de-
lighted in seeing the mule fold up and
let loose with kick that sent a man
through the side of barn or over
the fence. But in spite of this IN
desirable advertising the mule is with
us today on more farms than ever
before. He is hard and rugged
worker and is especially adapted to
the more hilly farms Of our agricul-
tural sections. Even through the
Middle West there are some counties
that have more mules than horses. In
1867, the mules of the United States
numbered $4,000, with an average
value Of S66.94. In 1850 the number
was 1921 900, valued at $IS.o5. BY
1914 the number had increased to
4,123,O0O, with value of Sl19S4 per
head. On January 1, 1920, the num-
Der was 4,995,O00 and the value per
head was S147.
The mule has gained rapidly in
popularity, in many localities taking
the place Of the horse, and has also
prevented the introduction Of the trac-
tor in many places. There are not a
few mule ranches over the United
States, the owners finding it pay
ing kind of stock to raise. The de-
mand is increasing and those having
them for sale cannot supply the mar
ket.-Thrift Magazine.

Patching the Cars Trousers.

In his recently published memoirs
Count Witte, a member of the old Rus
sian, regime, relates that Alexander
III's prudence in government expendi-
ture was matched by his personal
thrift: alexander III was extremely
economical with his wearing apparel.
I had a curious proof of this when I
accompanied the emperor on one of
his railway trips. Since l found It
impossible, on account Of my response
bility, to sleep of nights, would often
catch glimpses Of his majesty's valet
mending the emperor's trousers. On
one occasion l asked him why he
didn't give his master new pair in
stead of mending the old so often.
We'll, I would rather have it that
way he answered, but his majesty
won't let me. He insists On wearing
his garments until they are thread
bare. 1t is the same with his boots.'"

One of the big causes Of delay IN
the movement of, freight is the heat
ing of the journal boxes of car axles,
commonly called "hot boxes" When
one journal box III train gets seri-
ously hot it is necessary to stop the
whole movement of traffic until the

makes very timely series Of tests
now being carried on at Purdue uni
versity, to determine accurately the
benefit to be derived by using venti-
lated lids instead Of the solid lids
now almost universally used on the

eight-hour runs with heavy loads at
high speed, during which accurate
records are kept of the temperature
attained in each class of apparatus.

FAMOUS OLD CITY
Geneva Figures Prominently in
Pages of History.
Records Show Brave Fight for lnde-
pendence Long Maintained Against
Powerful, Inscriptions Neighbors.

Geneva, the seat Of the League Of
Nations, witnessed some fierce fight
ing in the days when the duke OF
Savoy sought to destroy its independ-
ence with the aid of contingent OF
Spanish troops.
These mercenaries tried to rush
the defenses at dead Of night, but
though some Of them managed to get
into Geneva, not one of them managed
to get out again. Those who were not
killed in action were afterward be-
headed.
They still preserve at Geneva seal
ing ladders captured from the Span
iards on that memorable night, to-
gether with the caldr0n out of which
q Genevan housewife, who had risen
early to prepare her husbands break
fast, poured deluge of scalding soup
on to the heads of the enemy troops.
Another relic preserved at Geneva
recalls the little band of eXiles who
worked together there at the trarsla-
tion of the Scriptures, known as The
Geneva Bible.
On the eve of their departure for
England trey went in body to the
city fathers, who gave them, as tie
records show, honorable license to
depart, together with testimonial
of the satisfaction we have had in
them, and an exhortation to act in
their turn toward foreigners as we
have acted toward them" Then they
all wrote their.signatures in the "Livre
des Anglais," or Book Of the English,
which is carefully treasured in the
Geneva archives.
Though Geneva for some hundreds
years has been a sovereign republic,
lIuch of the architectural beauty of
the modern town is directly due to the
generosity of one-time reigning
prince, Charles II, duke of Brunswick
Wolfenbuttel.
The duke, who was born in 1907, sue
ceeded at an early age to the throne,
and governed so arbitrarily and cruel
ly that his subjects appealed to the
German diet, which, after some nege-
tiation deposed him and placed his
younger brother on the throne. After
this Duke Charles, who was very
wealthy, wandered about, Europe, max
ing Paris his headquarters. On the
outbreak Of the Franco-Prussian, war,
in 1870, he finally settled at Geneva,
where he died in 1873. 10.
He had been an exile from his own
land for more than thirty years, and If
he ever had had any affection for it.,
it had perished during that time; so
he constituted the city of Geneva his
heir. His will was disputed by his
brother and successor, Duke William,
who demanded the family jewels and
other treasure.
Before the case. came into the courts
the duke agreed to compromise, and
the city came in for legacy worth
about four million dollars. This sum,
or a considerable portion of it, has
been spent in beautifying the town,
building the quays and the elaborate
Brunswick monument. '@S'

an excess profit during the war can
get an abatement of taxes if he will

regulation guards against unsightly

stricts rentals to yield only fair re-

profteer does not care to put his easy
money into this useful channel of pub
lie service at fair return, the state

France Evening Up
=: Foreign Trade Balance

France increased her exports by almost
quarter of a billion francs in January
compared to December, 1920, and decreas-
ed her imports by 966 millions in the same
period, according to statistics received by
the French Commission in the United
States. In December the adverse balance
of 'trade-the excess of French imports
over exports-was ~ per cent, while in
January it was less than per cent.
The significance of the close approach
to an even balance in French trade dur
ing January is apparent from compare
son with the figures for the years 1918,
1919 and 1920. In 1913 French imports
exceeded exports by 1.4S7 million francs,
or % per cent. The excess of imports in
1919 was 23,910 millions or about 201 per
cent, and in 1920 it was 1870 millions
which amounted to IS per cent excess OF
imports.
January exports of France were at the
rate of 225g2 millions annually, a total
$50 millions greater than the amount Of
exports In 1920.
