Chinese Pirate Tales OutdO
 Stevenson

Shanghai, China, March 24-Rober Louis Stevenson's tales of pirates bold are rivalled by the daring ~ScapadeS and adventures of the Chinese river and coast pirates.
 One of the most audacious deeds o1 pirates bold are rivalled by the dar- ing escapades and adventures of the Chinese river and coast pirates. i One of the most audacious deeds l of the Chinese pirates which has ever 1 occurred in Chinese waters took place 1 recently when an armed pirate gang l boarded the China Merchant Naviga- tlon Company's steamer Kwanglee, off the coast of Annoy, held up the European captain. the ships officers and passengers and escaped with S150,e0O in valuables and money. Captain Lindsay Crawford was sitting in his cabin when pirates CTS bound him. He was tied. gagged and locked in a little room along with other foreign officers for more than 30 hours
 How Robbers Worked.
 The robbers proceeded to the treas ury room Of the vessel, broke it open and removedsz silver bars valued at $30.o00. The bars, together with sengerS, were lowered rover the side of the steamer to their fellow pirates, who were waiting in Chinese junks. Rich silks and furs. amounting to
 
 to Canton as cargo, also were taken by the pirates.
 Before leaving, the pirate captain with a swagger equal to the bravado of Treasure sland' hero, wished the captain of the kwanwlee good by and safe journey.' Incidentally they put the engines of the ship out of order. While plunderin the ves- sel the piraes shot a number of Chi nese passengers, threw two Chinese overheard, but did not mo1est the foreign" passengers. Mrs. Wu Ting Fang, wife of Dr. Wu Ting Fang, United States and a. leader in the ac- tivities of the Canton government, a passenger, was uninjured.
 While this affair is unquestionab1y one of the most daring and successful rob berries to occur off the China coast, the pirates operating along the South China coast and the rivers carry on we'll organized robberies almost daily.
 What Bandits Enjoy.
 The pirates number into the thou sands, and they are particularly fond of boarding 1unks on the rivers and carrying off cargo of rice, wood or
 They are organized into bands and follow the directions of their leaders The islands of Ningo are infested with the robbers, and so we'll ac- qualned are they with the country river and coaste police to captur them. When they are captured, the pirates are shot mmediately
 The pirates are very superstitious as well as religious. Practically every port city or town has a t'Tenp1e to the Goddess of Heaven" where the pirates, as well as the boatmen. wor- | ship the young goddess who is said to have the power to save their boats l from harm during a storm. When | out at sea in a storm the pirates fau | on their faces and implore the God | tess of the Heavens to save them If l they see a strange red light in the 1 heavens they rejoice and feel that their supplications have been answer ed.

Alaska had one quake last year compared with one in 1920, while Hawaii had one in 1921 and none in 1920. Those in Alaska and Hawaii last year, the first on March II and the latter on March 24, were sevea e and were of volcanic origin. Prof. Tondorf reports. Two of those in Utah were very strong disturbances while the others reported in the United States were of little signtf- canoe.
 There were no pronounced tidal waves reported from vessels plying the oceans and other waters. Prof. Tondorf says, and it therefore is con- sidered unlikely there were any ex- tensive submarine quakes during the year.

ening to those who regard their own
ultra-pious opinions as final and con
elusive. He says:
ut is impossible for any candid

The conviction that, sbroadly speaking,
there has been a significant Change in
the last year; that, whatever the corr
parison between pre-Prohibition and
post-Prohibition bulk drinking, liquor

has been more plentiful. cheaper. and
less risky to handle rommel cially or
to take internally, than in the first

an interesting point in stating that
people within his ken may be drinking
less in total than they did in the wet
days, but they are certainly drinking
more at a time.

type. Home brewing and distilling
