Football Championship
Of China

Peking, Feb. Is. - The football
championship of China has now been
won by team representing the Amer
lean marines stationed in Peking as
the legation guard The title was won.
after the championship of North
China had been clinched by defeat
of the 18th infantry and by game
with the team from the American Club
cf Shanghai which went to the credit
of Picking, by the score of 35 to 10.
The final game was played in Shang-
hal before a crowd of about 1000 spec
tators on the 3lst of December
The marine team had practced for
about two months under the coaching
of Captain Tenney, former halfback
at Brown University, and two former
Princeton players. The brand of foot
ball which they put up would have
compared favorably with that of many
college teams in America and through
out the short season of three games
the marine squad was relieved Of all
other duties. The trip to Shanghai
was taken by II men and the squad
was accompanied by Colonel Karmany,
commander of the legation guard in
Peking as we'll as by Coach Tenney

Small Animals
Given "Once Over"

New Haven, Conn.,, Feb. 19.--Some
very little animals which play very
big part in human existence are to be
given the "once-over" scientifically in
Yale University laboratories during
the next few months, in order to add
information about them to the sum
of human knowledge. Miss Helen
Heinly of the Department of Agricul-
ture, Washington, d. c., has been de-
tailed to assist DR.. Goothold Steiner
of Berne University, Research Fellow
at Yale, in microscopic study of the
Nemotode, deScribedia jas an animal that
annually does millions of dollars
worth of damage to plants and vegeta-
bles.
These tiny worm-like animals are
to be found in human beings as well
as in the earth. There are 40 or SO
varieties in humans. Ten per cent are
classed as predatory, that is they eat
animals while the remaining ninety
per cent eat vegetation.
DR.. Steiner and Miss Heinly are to
study means of reproduction of the
predatory type SO they will eat the
plant eaters and eradicate them. One
predatory type viii eat 80 types of the
vegetable eaters.
The plant namatodes anchor to a
root of vegetable and eat the sub
stance there causing it to wither. A
great colony makes a "root knot"
The laboratory work will be to find
the best conditions suited to the
growth of the predatory nematode.
DR.. Steiner came to Yale from
Switzerland to study this nematode. He
has raised male and female, or
brought about what scientists call a
mutation. The progeny of the new
female type retain the characteristics
of the parent.

Japan's Martial Spirit
Must be Developed

Toxic, Feb. 15.-If the Japanese ma
tion is to hold its own in industrial
competition which is sure to result
from establishment of world peace,
Japan's martial spirit must be devel-
cped nproportion as armament is re-
duced, said Lieut.. General Yamanashi,
minister of war in statement to the
japanese press.
"A serious mistake is being made
by some Of the political leaders of ia
ran," he said, Gin their efforts to dis
regard the martial spirit of the nation
which is as essential to the peaceful
expansion Of the people as it is in time
of war.
"The Washington conference has
met with the success that was expect
ed Of it. Opinion seems to be divided
on the basis for the proposed naval
limitations, which is the chief of the
problems before the assembly of ma
tions; but all are of one accord in the
spirit of world peace, which called
them together to deliberate on those
questions.
ut is matter for regret that in
their attempt to win appreciation for
this spirit of world peace and in their
anxiety to remove from Japan the
charge of militarism, some of our
political leaders have apparently lost
sight of the martial spirit of the ma
tion.
at is wrong to consider that a mar
:ial spirit is incompatible with the
limitation Of armaments. In certain
sense, armament is an expression of
national power, which is the sum total
of various kinds of individual energy
Modern warfare, for instance, de-
mands national industry besides shells
and bayonets. Therefore, If nation
is to advance and hold it's own in the
industrial competition that must nec-
essarily follow on the establishment
Of world peace, its martial spirit must
be expanded and developed to just a
degree as the actual armament is re-
duced.'

Must Wear Clothes
In Kentucky

Frankfort, KY, Feb. 20--Now that
the Kentucky general assembly has
made the streets of White Mills. .
Hardin county, safe for pedestrians
by passing a bill which says who
ever goes on the streets OF an uniu.
,orporated village with no police pro
lection, clad only in a bathing SUI, is
subject to a fine. It's attention hl
been called to other public matters.
Among the recent bills introduced j..
the senate is one to require moon
sinners to attach whistles that can
be heard two miles to their stills, and
to blow them every thirty minutes
from | n. m. until / p. IN.
Scantily clad summer boardcrs are
given as the reason for the passage
of the anIi-bathing suit bill. The
principal industry of White Mills is
entertaining summer guests. Its
main asset is a small river and swim
ming is the great outdoor sport.
But the bath house facilities con
sist of willow trees under whose
dropping branches one may park the
bathrobe. These facilities, however
failed to appeal to the visitors, which
include goodly number of young
women. Representative Charles a.
Nelson noticed this and he told the
Legislators that the youth of his viii
lagc home is being corrupted by the
sight of women clad only in bathing
suits strolling down the street to the
river. The vote was 66 to 20 not =
withstandng the fact that Rcpl'c-
sentative James Park, former big
league baseball played, called the bill
an effort to lcgislate the morals of
the people and said the average bath
ing suit contained more material
| than the average evening dress. The
bill has been reported favorably by
the Alcoholic liquors committee, to
which it was referred.
Senator Bannie Tabor of Carter
county is pushing still" bill. Sen.
ator Tabor, in his bill, consisting OF
| hive sections, proposes, that it shall
be unlawful for person to operate
q still without whistle that can bt
heard two miles; that it must be
blown every half hour from | a. m
until IL p. IN. and that roadways OF
well-bcaten paths must Lad to the
still. 1t creates the Office of "moon
shine still Inspector" to see that tn,
law is obcyed under heavy penalty
for failure.

Dalai Lama is
Wonderful Personality

London, Feb. 1S.-The Dalai Lama
of Tibet, the religious and secular
head of that secluded country has to
work harder than the average British
or American business man. He gets
up at o'clock in the morning and la
bors until midnight, Notwithstanding
the fact that he is unquestionably the
"big boss"
Sir Charles Bell, British political
officer in India, who has just returned
after years residence in the roman
tic forbidden city of HASA, the Tib-
etan capital, says the Dalai Lama is
wonderful personality" Sir Charles
is one of the few Europeans who have
mastered the Tibetan language and
this helped him to become friendly
with the head of all Tibet.
''He paid me the honor of inviting
me into the forbidden enclosure of his
country palace" said Sir Charles.
"This was a little wonderland of
flowers, birds and wild animals-a
hidden retreat where he gives deep
thought both to his religious and state.
affairs. Hundreds of canaries were
singing here, and there were also
stays, pheasants and a great tiger
from Bengal"
The climate was intensely cold when
Sir Charles arrived, and for days the
temperature indoors never rose above
freezing point. In the place Of Win
dow glass, Tibetans used a sort of
wax cloth. 1t lets the wind in, but
they are hardy race and do not ap-
pear to feel the discomfort of the
cold.
Mutton, yak beef and pork are the
staple Diet" Sir Charles went on.
"Tibetans do not like either chickens
or eggs. They do not sleep on beds
but on the floor, on which are placed
large downy cushions. You lie on top
Of these and fold them over you. They
are very comfortable and warm.
"There is an official date for winter
to begin and end, and the fur hat and
other warm garments ordained for Of
ficials are invariably worn without re-
gard to weather conditions between
those dates. However comfortable the
official may be with the fur hat April
25 or without it after that date, he
would never dream of departing from
the sartorial convention in public for
five minutes. The Etiquette of the peo-
pie is very elaborate and strict.
"There are, practically speaking, no
police, no fireman, and no wheeled
traffic in Lhasa. If man suffers from
toothache, he goes with few friends
on to the fiat roof of his house. His
friends bring big stone, round which
they fasten string. The string is
then tied to the bad tooth, and the
stone dropped over the roof top. Two
or three friends hold on to the patient
to prevent him from going over, too.
