Moscow.-Food shortage and power
ty In Russia has coated a new type OF
people-the spectators, as the Rus
slams call them. One finds them In
great numbers at the Smolensky Ri
mock (market), but also at every street
corner. A certain proportion of them
are professionals, but the greatest have
become peddlers or street traffickers
during and since the revolution. They
come from all stations of life, and one
often comes across q duchess, coun-
tess, not to speak of a baroness, who is
quite an ordinary figure within this
line.
1t is usually happens this way: A
housewife, worn out by the sorrows
OF daily life, moneyless and hungry,
collects all her courage and goes to the
market to sell some odd article of her
probably former luxurious household.
She stands In line In the market for
hours and, II she has luck, finds buy
or for her stuff who either Is just in
need of such an article or scents a
bargain.
The seller, happy to have some
money to keep her going and glad to
escape what she still considers a
Humiliation, promises herself never
again will she go there. She don't un-

perhaps nothing more to sell. BY this
time she has lost all false shame and
starts specializing by buying articles
from her less courageous neighbors and
selling them at profit, thus making
an otherwise unbearable life somewhat
easier.

BURNING BONDS.

Interesting but not convincing is the
plea of Dean Johnson of New York uni
versity school of commerce for every
body to burn his Liberty bonds.
The dean explains that inasmuch as
these bonds are liabilities of the gov
ernment, and therefore of all the people
whom the government represents, all the
people are equally liable for the debt
they stand for, and so if the whole ma
ton would burn its bonds it would be
just where it was before. but would save
itself great deal of trouble. He says
that he is willing to start by burning his.
If these bonds were distributed equal
ly. or rather in proportion to the tax
paying power of the citizens, there might
be. something in the idea. As matters
stand. the Landowner is not at all like
ly to follow the generous deans advice.
For the Landowners know very we'll

King Albert of Belgium has proposed
an international transatlantic sailing
race to be held next summer. The race
is to be open to sailing yachts of all
nations. with no restrictions as to size
or rig. The starting point will be a
line off Sandy Hook and the finishing
point off Ostend. distance of $500
nautical miles.
The king has offered cup to be the
permanent possession of the winner.
Other prizes will be given other con-
testants and a round of gaycty is prom
iSed visiting yachtsmen at the Belgian
watering places. The start must be
made July 4. on time, regardless of wind
or weather. Auxiliary craft may enter
provided their engines are sealed. There
will be no handicaps.
The race will be interesting as a true
sailor mans race" and because it is
sponsored by the generally beloved and
admired king of the Belgians. But it
has a still greater value. 1t restores
the sea to mems minds as a friendly

WANT LANGUAGE UP TO DATE
luton" That Is Now Prevail
Ing in China.

What is termed the literary revoiu-
ton in China aims at reform Of the
language used in books, magazines.
newspapers and public discussion. The
outsider will jump to the conclusion
that this means an attempt TO encOur-
age a phonetic substitute for ideo-
graphic characters. Not at all. There
is a movement to supplement ideo-
graphs with phonetic signs to show
their pronunciation, the aim being
quite as much to standardize pronun-
citation as make it easier to learn to
read. But this movement arouses no
such interest and excitement as the lit
erary revolution.
The latter is an attempt to make the
spoken language the standard Ian
guage for print. Literary Chinese is as
far away from the vernacular as Latin
is from English, perhaps further. 1t is
n speech of 1000 years ago. adorned

another language. The reformers were
actuated by the practical impossibility
Of making education really universal
when in addition to the difficulties Of
mastering the ideographs, children in
the elementary schools are compelled
to get their education in terms of n
foreign language.
They are ,actuated even more by the
belief that it was not possible to de-
veIop a literature which shall express
the life of today unless the spoken Ian

To Develop Wild Pears.

The worlds largest stock of pear
seedlings of wild, bIight-resisting va
riety found in Manchuria, is located OF
the Iona Rfca ranch near Grass Val
Icy, Cal. The young trees are from
seeds brought directly from China and
number about 100000.
Three genealogical experts from the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture, Professors Allison, Wright and
Kingsman. recently inspected the stock
and approved the experimental work.
The original trees. known as the
Pyrus usuriensis. are found growing
in the ancient burying ground of the
kings of the Manchurian dynasty. and
it is only since the overthrow of the
dynasty that the seeds became avail
able. The tract is said TO be vast
and to be grown to trees of immense
size.
BY grating the commercial varie-
ties of pears upon this stock good re-
suits are expected TO be obtained.
