Swatow Exposed
to the Typhoon

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 Swatow, which was
once the center Of sugar production.
The fields inland from Swatow 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 fol
preserving fish before coming to Ming
| po. Foochow Is several hours ruI
up the Min. Annoy is situated very
much like Swatow, but lies on much
| higher ground. 1ongkong Is on the
landward side Of the island of Vic
toria and the safety Of its harbor is as
fqmous as Its beauty.
Swatow owes It's existence to the
Han Kiang, whose muddy waters, bull
up the low plain on which n small fish
Ing village grew to treaty port OF
considerable Importance. And II 1:
upon the low-lying alluvial plain or
both banks Of the Han that the por-
depends for its Importance.
From August to October, the ty
phoons sweep up the Chinese coast
and opposite Swatow the hills of south
ern Formosa form funnel whose
force is most felt along the low-lyinl
coast In which Swatow squats. SO DO
tent are the winds that many of y
missionary buildings are hid anon:
the low hills Of Kakchioh, across the
tempestuous roadstead from Swatov
proper.
To the tourist Swatow Is an unin
teresting city. 1t has only one goot
road, that the newly macadamize(
Malo or great road. which more or les!
parallels the wharves from the larg,
piers Of the ocean-going vessels to tn,
tiny havens to which the fishing boat.
and up-river junks repair.

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 town of less than TO-
600 inhabitants, which was the
old capital and military strong
hold when the Saar was a
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.
and 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 prob
ecf, since II was not only graft
flying to fhe town Of Saarlouis,
(, but was considered Of real utfi

City That Was Nearly Wiped Out
Is Least Protected OF
Chinese Ports.
SQUATS ON ALLUVIAL PLAIN
Coolies and Embroidery Have Helped
Make II an important Town--one
of the Best Eastern Markets
for Foreign Goods.

Washlpg all but swept
off the map by a typhoon, was put
there by coolies and embroidery, says
q bulletin from the National Geo
graphic society. The coolies go south
10 the Straits Settlements, whence
they send home much money and come
themselves when their toll In the trop-
ics has won them competence.
Just as the Canton Chinese have i'm
pressed themselves on America, the
Ningpo merchants made their way In
most OF the trade marts of China, and
the Shaptung coolie on the battlefields
Of France, so the Swatow coolie has
had his share In the development OF
the Straits Settlements and more than
one has risen to affluence thereby.
Relief Measure Creates an Industry.
Swatow also produces peculiar
grass cloth or native linen, made, not
from flax. but from form of hemp.
Table sets OF this material, embroid-
cred In white or contrasting colors,
with storks and dragons and other
fanciful designs, are admired and
priced throughout the world. This In
dustry was started by missionary as
q means of relief during one of the
many disasters from which Swatow
has suffered, and II has attained huge
proportions Swatow embroidery
drawn work and grass cloth today are
.best sellers" In native shops from
Hongkong to Shanghai.
If in China you overhear a reference
to "Swatow Blues" do not conclude
that the city is going in for jazz. An
important Swatow product is indigo
and the city has a full share In making
China "the land of the blue gown"
Leading Market for Foreign Goods-
The influx Of money from the
Straits and the Philippines Is so great
that Swatow can always import more
than 1t exports, and it has been one OF

past-for this season at least. Now
il is a case Of amateurs trying to hold
professionals in check when Winches-

the Winchester team had to be
strengthened to hold its own in the
Shenandoah Valley League, but they
have been strengthened almost too
much for amateur teams.

DIAMOND DUST.

Last Friday afternoon the Shep-
herdstown American Legion went 10
Boyce, Va, and lost hard-fought
game, 5 to 4, to the Valley Leaguers, on
Gilpin Field We won't say lost, ex'
actly, and We won't offer an alibi, but
in the person Of the officiating umpire,
Boyce certainly has the prize OF the
Shenandoah Valley League. We out
hit our Virginia rivals, getting ten.
while the best that they could dc
with Lefty Willis was eight. The prize
bone that the umpire pulled during tho
session was in the second inning when.
with the bases loaded, the batter
dropped down an easy grounder to n.
Mckee at third base. Newt made {
perfect peg to the plate and had tho
man a city block, and Elk turned an
pegged 10 first TO complete the double
play. The ump called the man sale al
home. expressing thai he thought the
man had TO be tagged. Lies onc
grand thing after another, but about
that time there were about dozen
Infatuated Shepherdstown persons al
ter the umpire. Then again in thJ
eighth inning Snyder singled, went TO
second on a passed ball, and was
streaking il for third, the third base
man had the ball waiting on him, but
Snyder hooked in around him, and thu
man failed to tag him by three feet.
| The worthy arbitrator was viewing the
play from the far side of the diamond
and naturally called Jack out We
scored two runs in the second inning.

and our fun was over for the time be-
ing. In the ninth We staged rally
that came near tying the score. Legge

couldn't recover in time to throw him
out at first. Kirk Mckee struck out

The Shepherdstown team was :;
strong one on paper, and it proved its
strength by getting twelve hits. The
fielding at times was nothing short OF
