the best markets for foreign goods to
be found on the whole wrinkled coast
of China.
Sugar is also one Of Swallows chief
products and the British and Ameri-
can 'consulates are situated near the
main refinery on Kakchioh. Hong
kong, however, is winning away the
sugar trade from Swallow, which was
once the center of sugar production.
The fields inland from Swallow pro-
duce huge crops Of sugar cane, and
the Mandarin oranges of the region
are famed throughout the East.
Swallows Location Invites Disater.
One of the important ports that hide
here and there along the very irregu-
lar coast line of China, Swallows mis-
fortune is that of being less protected
from the sea than her neighbors to the
north and south. Shanghai is several
miles up the Woosung. Hangchow, the
city of the famous tidal wave or bore,
which resembles the one in the Bay
of Fundy, is far enough from the sea
to escape the force Of the storm.
One ascends for miles between low
lying banks, dotted with icehouses for
preserving fish before coming to Ming
pc. Foochow is several hours run
up the Min. Annoy is situated very
much like Swallow, but lies on much
higher ground. Hongkong is on the
laIdwsrd side of the island Of Vic
toria and the safety of it's harbor is as
famous as it's beauty.
Swallow owes its existence to the
Han Kiang, whose muddy waters built
up the low plain on which a small fish
ing village grew to a treaty port of
considerable Importance. And it is
upon the low-lying alluvial plain on
both banks of the Han that the port
depends for its Importance.
From August to October; the ty-
phoons sweep up the Chinese coast,
and opposite Swallow the hills of south
ern Formosa form a funnel whose
force is most felt along the low-lying
coast in which Swallow squats. So 10

teresting city. 1t has only one good
road, that the newly macadamized

occasional note of clear light blue,

Adjunct to MiIady's Wardrobe Returns
After Several Years Of Doubt
and Hesitation.

1t REQUIRES a careful analysis this
season to reconcile several apparently
diverse fashion tendencies in Paris,
asserts a New York fashion authority.
Athletics have become routine part
of the French womans program.
Much of this is doubtless due to pure
love of sports, but when we reflect
that those unable to compete In atm
letics nevertheless do physical e1er-
cises at home, we must seek a deeper
reason.
Contrasted with the vogue for ath-
letics, which makes for a complete
freedom of motion, there has come
gradual but certain return of the cor
set. After several years of wavering
hesitation, the balance has swung
completely in its favor. 1t would be
opening a time-worn subject to detail
the many arguments in its favor, but
not even it's most enthusiastic adher-
ent can claim that the corset Is any,
thing but superfuous as an athletic
adjunct.
1t is apparent that the new corsets

ness to a figure clothed even in the

"Kind of you, kind of you," said
Master White Pelican.
"Well," said Master Brown Pelican.
II think it is fair that I should be
allowed to tell the story because I'm
smaller, but 1 don't believe in the
smaller person always having every
thing their own way. The bigger
creature has rights, too"

Master White Pelican. "Now do not
let me detain you in your talking any

my cousin, Master White Pelican, is
one of the largest birds Of this con.
tinent-and the continent has both
South America and North America on
it!
Master White Pelican has beauti-
full white feathers, as his name tells
you-but he Is not wrongly named
no, his name is excellent. 1t just
describes him. He is as white as white
can be and he is pelican. His name
therefore, is perfect and fits him like
a glove, as the saying goes.
"Or in other words, it's name that
just fits him! He has golden-amber-
colored beak or bill which is truly a
magnificent one. You have a fine
pouch as a pelican should have.
'gThey say that your family eats as
much fish as the sea lions. In fact
your family are even greater fish
eaters than we are. We're good fish
eaters, too. We're handsome, sociable,
and enjoy zoo life immensely. It
agrees with us and we like the care
they take of us. We are at our best
when we're full grown and then we're
at the height of our good looks, too.
"Pelicans have fine pouches and we
can hold the food there, too. It's like
a private icebox Of cur own-only
there is no ice in it, ha, ha. That's a
good pelican joke"

And all the pelicans rushed toward
the keeper and opened wide their bills
for their beloved and favorite food.

New Paris Modes
Dressmakers of France ConCen-
trating on Novelties.
All Eyes Are Conferred on Apparel for
the important Events Where
Fashion Reigns.

. Paris dressmakers for some time
past have concentrated all their eff

Deauville, known to be the most chic
resort in Europe, writes a Paris cor
respondent in the New York Tribune.
Not one of them but is thinking of
beautiful dresses for the seashore.

toilettes for the races and casino

beauty and novelty there is refine

which cannot fail to win approval
among women of taste They are not

dresses, but they are discreetly Or

Callot is making many beautiful en-
broidered dresses. The intricate, in
teresting patterns Of embroidery are
done on a background Of white satin.
These highly ornate robes are built
on the simplest possible lines.
The all-white dress is almost with
out rival as a summer dependence.
Women do not hesitate to have from
six to a dozen all-white dresses. An
exquisite model in white satin shows
lovely embroideries in crystal beads
and silver thread. AS an afternoon
casino toilette this is worn with lit

draped with an ornamental masque

coIored Decoration Is Added With
Miraculous Effect-Matching
Hats Also Finds Favor.

All of the Czecho-Slovakian EN-
broideries and those from Russia and
Ill of the colorful countries are be-
ing applied to white scarfs with
most miraculous effect. The scarfs
themselves are made of the loosest
of hardwoven homespun done in either
thin woolen or thick silken threads.
Then on their ends for a space of
about ten inches there is arranged
solid mass of embroidery taken from
the peasant art of one of these coun-
tries. The embroderies are about as
inspiring as anything you can think
of. They fairly scream joyfuness
of life, and when they are imposed
on the pure whiteness of the home
spun background they are particularly
attractive for the purposes of the mod
ern girl and her activities in sports.
Sometimes there are hats embroid-
cred to go with these scarfs that fling
about the threats and again they are

DON'T CUFF REDHEADED BOY
Galveston Man Did 1t and II Cost His
Liberty and Much Home
Brew.

Galveston, Text doesn't pay to
cuff redheaded boys. Ask S. Mencacci,
for it cost him his liberty and about
100 gallons of home brew.
Attracted by a strange odor, the red
headed boy crawled under a cafe in
the outskirts of the city. He found
liquid dripping through the floor. The
lad recognized "the real stuff" and
fastened to procure bottle in which
to save the drippings. He was seen
by the proprietor, Mencacci, who pro-
ceeded to cuff him vigorously. The
lad Immediately went to the police sta
ton, filed charges Of assault against
Mencacci, who was arrested. While
making the arrest, the officers discov-
cred about 100 gallons of homemade
wine and whisky and now Mencacci is
facing charges of violation of the fed
eraI prohibition law in addition to two
charges of aggravated assault.

Promise of Napoleon to
Marshal Ney Carried Out

Paris.-The promise made by
Napoleon to Marshal Ney has
just been fulfilled by the commits
sion governing the Saar valley
under the supervision of the
League of Nations. The commits
sion has authorized the institu-
ton of a supreme court at Saar-
louis, the celebrated marshars
birthplace.
1t is a town of less than TO-
600 inhabitants, which was the
old capital and military strong
hold when the Saar was
French province. When General
Mangin passed through the Saar
with his troops on the way to
the Rhine some of the old inhab-
itants who retained French SYM
pathies reminded him of the en-
proper. authorities"
But I'm not Napoleon's sue
cessor," General Mangin replied,
land the judiciary is not my line.
| will pass on the request to the
proper authorities"
General Mangin was relieved
of his command in the Rhineland
before he could take steps in the
matter, but the Saar commission
found no objection to the prof.
ect, since it was not only graft
flying to the town of SaarlOuis,
but was considered Of real util-
ity.
