GAINED AND LOST FORTUNES
English Dandies Played for High
Stakes in the Latter Part Of
Eighteenth Century.

Almack's was u of the famous old
gambling clubs of London. 1t was at
Its height In the latter part of the
Eighteenth century, and the play there
was enormous. 1t was not uncommon
for the losses in a single night to
amount to upwards OF 100000.
The young men, handles all, who in
tended to play set about the matter
with a great deal of ceremony. They
wore straw hats with wide brims,
flower and ribbon trimmed the brims
intended to keep the light from their
eyes, and that the spectators might
not see their emotions they often wore
masks. They also often took OF their
rufiles and silk or satin coats and wore
in their place a rough great-coat or
else wound leather bands about their
arms to protect the delicate lace and
hues Of their coats from the soil Of the
table.
At each players side was a small
table that held their tea, wine cakes
and rolls Of rouleaus or chips. Most
Of the players wore long curls, eye
glasses mounted on long sticks. yer
perfumed. powdered and painted like
court ladies, and some Of them even
affected a mincing ladyllke walk. But
those who made the error of thinking
them la6ylike In their fighting ability
made a mistake that often cost a life,
for the gay young sparks would draw
swords at me drop Of q hat and meet
death with q laugh.

TUST|N BOASTS FAST LIVING AND
 LOWERING MORALS
Says Social Life Is Deplora- ble and That We Are Non- Churchgoing and Non-
 Religious
By Assnciated pr.sa

Des Moines, Iowa, July S.-The year of 1921 marks a crisis of the ages" the Hon. Ernest L.. Tustin. president of the northern Baptist convention, and well known lawyer of Philadelphia, declared in his open ing address at the fourteenth annual convention of northern Baptists in session in this city.
 He laid emphasis upon the great extravagances in living" the "de- plorable lowering of morals in our social life,' the moral degeneration and let-down in the habits of our young people," the morals in our local politics perhaps lower than ever before" and the "non-church- going and non-religious people,
 whose Knowledge of the sacraments | is chiefly confined to those of mar riage and of death as evidence of such crisis. There is, he declared, "A clear, distinct call throughout the land for the unification of all forces of Christianity to consider the great questions confronting the political, business and religious world"
 Countless thousands of our peo- pie are running beyond their means, and living without the economic care and saving of our forefathers." MT. IuStln Salu. Inere haS come into ] the minds of the many desire for equality of condition. In business lines, the whole assumption seems to be-get money; get it honestly fl possible; but get money. In our To- cal politics the morale is lower per- | haps today than ever before. Tn nearly every city of our country the
 word of the boss Is supreme"
 Lowering Social Morals
 As an evidence of the lowering of
 our social morals, MT Tustin cites the terrible indictment" of young
 women, contained in the advice re- gently given by another denonina- ! ton, which charged them not to ] swear, to give up drinking quit gam bling, refrain from immodest dress
 and stop joy riding. He said tha,
 there was an equal moral degenera-
 tion and let-down in the habits ot our young men"

 by united effort of all protestant | ism" The marked decrease in
 church membership he said, while

REFUSE A KEY TO CIVILIZATION

Clark Wissler, in Harper's Magazine. When the archaelogist wishes to
 know which of two civilizations is the older, he seeks place where
 the debris of one is piled upon that of the other--superposit he calls it. Again, if he wishes to determine the periods in the developmnt of a single city, he seeks out the places
 where the daily refuse was dumped
 Naturally. the bottom of the dump is the older, the top the most recent Experience has shown that pottery decorations and styles are subject
 to frequent changes and that where
 pottery is made numerous frag- ments find their way to the dump.
 where they form successive layers
 in order of their dates The first
 effective use of this method was in the Valley of the Nile, where lies the refuse of the ages, in the strata of which was found the key to the
 history of early Egypt The same
 method has been applied to the Val
 ley of the San Juan in New Mexico, in which lies the Animas river and
 this ruin, and to the neighboring
 valleys where similar ruins are found The extensive researches of
 Kidder, Morris. and Nelson have es- tablished relative chronology for
 the pottery types in this valley.

cause as minister of the imperial household and therefore advisor to the future Emperor, he is expected tc play a leading and significant role in the empires policies at the time when Japan Is steadily emerg- ing from her ancient aloofness and isolation and the liberal movement is noticeable in all phases tf na- tional life. The impression exists in Tokio that the dinner was arranged especially to afford an opportunity to announce publicly forthcoming changes, which Count Soyeshima, with authority summarized as cer- tain to be great when Prince Hiro- hito returned
 Ovation Given Hell
 One of the features of the evening was the ovation extended to Edward Bell. who has achieved much pop ularity during his service as United States charge d affaires in Tokio. MT. Bell pointed ont the great regret of President Harding and the people of the United States that the crown prince was unable to include Amer : ica in his journey. Nothing cou'e have given the United States greater pleasure than his coming. MT. Beli asserted, but the United States nopeu it was only deferred pleasure.
 q can assure you," he said, that when the crown prince does come we will give him a hearty welcome,
 Baron Makino said that rInIe 'I trirohito's visit abroad, which pri- n.ai ,,,arii,, Sgas arranged to complete his education, had become an interna- tional event which could bring noun inc hut good to everyone concerned. rrha fact that the crown prince voyage was unprecedented in the oy- naetic history of 2,500 years baroh l MaIlino declared, gave his trip es' pecial interest.

MIXED MARRIAGE IN CHINA From My Chinese Marriage by M

 Chan-King wrote at once to his people in China. telling of our en- gagement. Tn China he told me, it is usual for parents to arrange their chlldren's marriages, often years In advance. When was very young. 1t was generally understood that would later marry the daugh- fer Of my fathers good friend. There was nu formal bethrc thai, and, when 1 I left home to study, I asked my father not to make any definite plans for my marriage vntil my return. The subject has never been men tioncd since, and don't know what his ideas are now. But they can make no difference with us--you ua- derstand that. Margaret, dear?' felt myself in spiritual collision with uaknown forces.
 His family replied to his letter with cablegram forbidding the n: carriage. A letter followed, in which his father explained that since Chan Kings foreign education was near Ilv completed, arrangements had been made for his marriage to Miss Lii Ying immediately upon his return home. He gave a charming descrip- ton of his bride, whom Chan King had not seen for 12 years. urgently lreuuested that Chan-K King would not make 1t impossible for his father te fulfil the contract he had entered Into with a friend, and very gently Iintimated that by so doing he would forfeit all right to further consid eration.
