Belfast Man Writes of
Experiences in China

DIR. Stanley D. Wilson OF Belfast.
Me-, now living in Pekin. China. in
a recent letter, writes of a most in
teresting hunting trip he made with
friends into the interior of China, in
the province of Shanai. He says:
I'VE were away from Pekin just
four days and had a wonderful
time. enjoying every minute Of it.
We left the railroad at Pingting-
chow, and went by mule, donkey
and afoot from there. We hunted
mostly in the region Of a town nam
ed Horsham, which is south of Ping
tingchow. I walked about 200 miles
besides the walking l did while
hunting, and came back with the
appetite of a 12-year-old boy.
Fared Well in Primitive Towns
I'VE got into some very primitive,
little towns, can assure you. One
place where we stayed for few
days did not have anything as for
eign as a match, a candle or drop
of kerosene oil in the whole town.
On the other hand, you could buy
coal for about so cents a ton; pota-
toes for 35 cents per bushel, eggs
about 6 cents a dozen, and large
chickens for about 10 cents in Unit
ed States money. We took lot Of
canned stuff with US and had a good
cook, so Jared we'll while In the
field.
| Game was quite abundant. -Four
wild pigs. three deer. about seventy
pheasants, many grouse. and nc
one knows how many pigeons were
obtained. I did not happen to gel
any of the large game, but got fully
my share of the birds.
Pheasant shooting is might,
good sport, and they are the hand
soonest birds have ever seen.

Some Board Members Think
Ten Likely to Garry on
Building Program
WANAMAKER FAV0RS PLAN

Nine or ten mills Is the probable
school tax for next year to carry on the
building program of the Board Of Edu-
cation. according to several members.
Even a twelve-mill tax rate Is pref
cradle to the cessation Of progress, ac-
cording to John Wanamsker, chairman
Of the Finance Committee. Mr.. Wan
amaker introduced a resolution asking
that William Dick. secretary Of the
board, prepare q statement showing how
much money must be borrowed for new
buildings next year and the amount
needed in taxes to carry that loan.
'It IS the old story" said Mr.. Wana-
maker. "We are spending money far
ahead of any that is in sight. We have
been spending money with our eyes
shut. We must now try TO increase our
tax rate and get enough adequately to
carry on the advanced programs for the
schools. and we ought TO have a twelve
mill tax rate. The people are satisfied
to pay money for better schools"
Joseph W. Catharine explained that
while the hoard had virtually unlimited
power to raise the tax rate, It must say
for what the increase is intended, such
as salaries and loan funds, and that the
board would find ample money for its
plans in ten mill or smaller rate:
Superintendent Broome made q plea
for adequate play space around school

The board approved the 81 900, 900
loan authorized for building purposes by
the Finance Committee. Three -fourths
Of that amount will be sought by the
sinking fund of the board. 1t will be
used for buildings.
DR.. Felix Adler asked if that amount
was all that was going to be expended
for new buildings In the year, and the
answer was chorus Of 'No's!" which
showed the determination Of the mem
bers to expend enough money to make
at least start toward new buildings
that will accommodate the 30, 600 chill
dren now on part time.
