[ Acting Premier and Foreign Min ister Yen at Peking is reported to have resigned. It is known that he has been anxious to get out of politics so that he can spend his time in travelling studying Chinese conditions at close range.
 Some Chinese are inclined to think that the salvation of China in the next few years lies in the hands of a com bination of General Wu Pei-Fu,s Gen eral Chen Chiung-Ming and MT. Yen. With these men as president, vice. president and premier China's politi- cal whirlagas probably would come to end.

Says Old Type Of BraZen Has

Chicagos only woman pastor, who has assisted in "pa1len" girls-an average of one a day for 29 years-"Mother is wonder full She always understands" The Rev.

 Seventy per cent. of the girls who go wrong come from the villages and small towns. Mrs Aldrich says. More than 1000 eases have been handled by the Illinois Vigilance Society in the past two years. They are of the fol- lowing types:

 Stranger even than fiction, the statesmen have run in an amazing parallel. Born in the same state. graduated from the same law school, , admitted to the same bar, joining the same political faith, both have serv- ed to the day the same length of time in their present offices. Now, I Ieadjers in their respective offices. both must stand for reelection on the same day in next November. : This strange parallel, briefly sum- ma artzed, is as follows:
 Both born in Massachus Lodge in 1850. Gillette in 1851.
 Both graduates from Harvard Law school; Lodge in 1875, Gil- lette in 1877.
 Both admitted to the Massa- chusetts bar: Lodge in 1876, Gill lette in 1877.
 Both entered public office fin Massachusetts: Lodge in 1883,
 Both elected to Massachusetts State House: Lodge in 1885, Gill lette in 1890.
 
 representatives: Lodge in 1887, Gillette in 1ST9
 Both served 29 years in pres ent office: Lodge in Senate, Gill lette in House.
 Both standing for reelection this year: Lodge for Senate, Gill lette in House
 Both elected to highest office by their colleagues: Lodge as Republican leader ot Senate. Gill 1ette Speaker of the House
 Gillette Is Younger
 Gillette. though a year younger than Senator Lodge, began his politi- can career six years before the Sena- tor. In 1879 Gillette was elected as Assistant Attorney General of Mas sachusetts. He served four years. re- tiring to private life at the end of his term. A little later he was elected to the State House, and thereafter his public life ran smoothly. On March i. 1893, he was elected to Congress where he has served continuously since. As the next oldest Republican member. Gillette was elected Speak CT of the House on May 19. 1919, and has served in that pest since.

Administration in Russia, stimulated the railway authorities to a point where food was moved on schedule.
 At warehouses and along railroad tracks, beggars and hungry peasants scrape the kernels of corn out of the corners of empty box cars. digging deep into the mud for any that drop, and sift others out of filth along the tracks. Some of these gleaners eat the kernels as they walk; others put them into little sacks. The people of the lower Vo1ga are familiar with corn, though they have not tasted it in many months. They are amazed to find that the American corn can be mi11ed without loss, for their na- tive corn suffers a loss of 17 per cent Tn miEing.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Feb. 10.-The
bridge now under construction which
will cross the Potomac river, connect
ing Virginia with the city of Washing
ton at Thirty-fourth street, was orig
inally designed as a memorial to
Francis Scott Key, author of the Star
Spangled Banner and once a resident
of old Georgetown. The general as
sembly of Maryland made Georgetown
town in 1851, 25 years before that
province ceased to be loyal to the
British crown. The old town, now part
of Washington, evidently was built
on the ashes of the Indian village of
Tohoge.
How surprised the old residents
would have been to have awakened
some fine morning, to find this glisten-
ing white structure in place of their
little river ferry. Their only bridge
was at Little Falls, three miles above
the present bridge site, and was made
of timbers swung on chains. In the
charter of Georgetown corporation it
was written that the city should keep
the chain bridge and the road leading
to the bridge free and in repair for
ever" The Georgetown ferry at one
time was in dispute, for Virginia
claimed the river as hers. The ferry
man vas persuaded to row the sheriff
to the Virginia shore. He was ar
rested when he stepped onto Virginia
soil to collect his fee and taken for
trial to Fairfax Courthouse.
Many years ago, in the shadow of
| this new structure. there came and
went the ships of the Dutch East In
| dies bringing silks and jewels and
! returning down to the sea with their
cargoes of tobacco. There also locked
| the Shenandoah, which went regularly
| to Europe with her hold full of the
! Virginia weed, to return laden with
: salt Sailing packets put out for New
York with -four, and once on a Saturday
night the schooner Pearl slipped silent

slaves of the town ON board, causing a
scarcity of Sunday morning breakfasts
and putting great CONSERVATION in the
ihearts of the housewives.
