Road building in CHINA under American Red Cross direction.

Pekin. China. Dec. as.-chinese
transportation methods have been
revolutionized by the American. Red
Cross which, in administering relief
to approximately a" million Chinese
famine sufferers the past@year. applied
an ounce of prevention against future
famines.
What the Red Cross did specifically
was to build $50 miles of highway,
employing in a period of ten month
$4,000 men, and thus aiding in
directly nearly a million men,, women
and children. Fifteen thousand acres
of arid land vas reclaimed through
the digging of 1882 wells and 10000
trees were planted.
The work was effected at a cost of
s1,214 900. The men were paid for
the most part in food, h American
Red Cross importing 3O,000,00O
pounds of f%oodstuffs, which also
helped keep down food prices.

Manager Harry Scouten of the
American Legion basketball team
states hat he is having difficulty in
securing contests for his quintet.
There has been several offers made
by Independent teams to play in
Grand Forks, and these nave been
turned over to Mr.. acouten. but when
he has signified his willingness TO ar
range {. game for them with the IH-
Sion team, he has found it %inpossi-
BILE to make connections" In CORE
spending with other posts he has far
cd no better.
He does not know what the reason
is and wants to assure the public that
ii 1t is under the impression that he
has an aggregation that cannot give
enough opposition to make an inter
esting contest it is lahoring under a
very erroneous conception Of what
kind of a team he has.
The local quint is composed of some
OF the best basketball material in the
state as the lineup Of the first game

some time and is ready to play as soon
as a schedule a lie arranged. Mr..

"But if you quit, you'll go east your

Maybe, after a while. For the time
being, I'd like to loaf on you for
week or so and watch the wheels go
around without my having to prod
them. It's running in my mind that
this newest phase of the G. S. & W.
business is going to stir up mighty
pretty shindy, and l had foolish no
ton that I'd like to stick around and
look on--as an innocent bystander."
"The innocent bystander usually
gets shot in the leg" the boss ripped
out, with the brittlest kind of humor.
And then: II suppose shall have to
let you do what you want to-and let
you pick your own time for giving me
the real reason. But you're gripping
me most savagely, Upton-and at a
time when am least able to stand It,"
Mr.. Van Britt got up and edged his
way toward the door.
"It's a good reason, Graham; and
some time-say when we are walking
through the pearly gates of the New
Jerusalem together-maybe I'll tell
you about 1t. If l were really good
scrapper I'd stay and help you fight
1t out with Hatch; but you know the
old saying-capltal is always coward

quarter of a million, thanks to the
dividends l deposited today. Good
night. I'll see you in the morning-if.
by that time you haven't decided to
cut me cold"
kept right busy over the indexes
after Mr.. Van Britt went away, just
to give the boss little chance to catch
I'D with himself. He sure was catch
ing it hot and heavy on all sides.
All we needed now was for President
Dunton to come smashing in with one
more good jolt and. it would be all
over but the obsequies, the monument
and the epitaph. At least, that is the
way it looked to me.
1t was along about ten o'clock when
the boss closed his desk with bang
and said we'd better saw 1t off for the
night. I walked uptown with him
and as we we're passing the Billiard
he turned in to ask the night clerk
If Collingwood was in his room. The
answer was nix; that the young New
Yorker hadn't been seen since dinner.
On the way out we saw Mr.. Van
Britt at the telegraph alcove. He was
handing in a thick bunch of kilograms
for Transmission, and he rather point
edly turned the sheaf face down upon
the marble slab when we came along,
as much as to say "it's none of your
business what I'm doing"
