TAKE HONOR FROM SlEGFRIED
Legends Ascribe Staying Of Monster
of the Rhine to Heroic Captive
Christian Maiden.

One of the most conspicuous noun
talns near the Rhine Is the historic
ORR chenfels, or Dragons rock, named
from that legendary monster Of the
Rhine, which was both the scOurge and
terror of the region. The legend Of
the hero, Siegfried, who slew the mon
srer, and became invulnerable by bath
ing in its blood, has been immortalized
in song and story. Another myth, how
ever, makes the slayer Of the dragon
young woman.
According to this tradition the beast
came down the mountain daily,
seeking whom It might devour. The
Romans decided to curb 1t by taking
a prisoner to the dragons cave daily.
One day n girl, so pretty that two cen
turlOns resolved to fight to see who
would claim her, was taken prisoner.
The Roman general lnterfered and de-
clded that to settle the affair neither
should get her. but that she should be
given to the dragon. This was consid-
cred In the army as a decision rank
Ing with the judgment of Solomon.
The girl, a Christian, was taken to
the cave and the monster soon ap-
peared. The beast howled smacked
his lips and ratified Its scales like tam
bourines. The girl drew forth cruel
fix, which she displayed to the beast.
1t stood still petrIfed with horror, then
with a roar TINT made the mountain
tremble, fell back down the cliffs and
was dashed to pieces on the rocks
below,

STORY TELLERS PUSH GOODS
American Interests In China Employ
Them to Extol the Virtues Of
Their Wares.

In China the American advertisers
have shown their alertness in meeting
the difficult situation of few newspa-
pers and q public 80 per cent Of whom
are unable to reod or write. Chinese
story tellers-ltinerants who wander
about telling stories to groups Of by
ISLANDERS wherever they can draw a
crowd-Nere adopted" At fire. the
story tellers We're paid to weave into
their tales a few lines of advertising,
hen this proved so successful that
the plan was developed until now the
story telers are put through Il regular
course Of training In the stories they
are to tell. The story tellers use a
brass disk-like instrument to draw
their crowds and are a tlme-honored
institution. To make this method eff
fective 1t was necessary to pick out
goods that might make wide appeal.
The cigarette concerns originated the
idea, and most successfully. Others
since have taken up with 1t.
Owing to the inability of the bulk
Of the population of China to read
or write newspaper advertising is
comparatively limited and few pa
pers are printed for the Chinese.
Pictorial appeal to the eye is gener-
ally in use in the form Of posters,
practically all of which are printed
in China and some of which use
colors freely. All sorts of posters are
in use. The cigarettes sold are large
ly made from American tobacco by
British interests and are
produced in China by native workers.
