This seems to be indicated by her
new policies. Walls of old cities arc
torn down; cOngested districts are
being transformed into broad streets
and parks; education is changing to
suit the demand for a new culture

From city to city the wall de-

has at last reached Canton. No

apparent than in this, the ancient

hundreds OF articles of merchandise
are turned out: Silks, em~broideries.
Jade, blackwood furniture, carved
ivory, cloissonne, lacquer ware,
idols, incense and fans. Pottery
manufactured in Canton is exported
to nearly every country n the
world. Exquisite small ornaments
are made from the brilliant feathers
of the kingfisher bird; rich brocades
are woven into oriental patterns by
the hand loom. The majority of the
industries are carried on by trade
guilds, some of which have whole
districts devoted to the production
of their respective wares. One mos

factory district where the black

@. HIS. HEARS
CONCRESSMAN-ELECT

Hon. B. G. Lowry, Congressman
from the second district of Mississippi
spoke to the High School students
Monday, Nov. 10.
DR.. Lowry has recently been re-
elected to Congress and this was his
first visit to Oxford and to the High
School since his reelection. He is
not only well known as one of the
ablest speakers Of the House of Rep
resentatives, but also as great edu-
Gator of Mississippi.
DR.. Lowry's talk was characterized
by his native good humor. His negro
dialect stories are always entertain
ing and amusing to his audiences and
on this occasion they were no excep-
ton.
Using as theme for his talk, the
idea of starting out in life under a
handicap, Dr. Lowry took the lives of
Helen Keller, Will D. Upshaw and O..
M. johnson and spoke at length upon
the beauty and sincerely of these
lives and the struggles and sacri-
fees these three remarkable people
have experienced.
DR.. Lowrey closed his splendid and
helpful talk by saying that every
thing is possible and can be don :.
nothing impossible, and that if W.
keep the lives of these three people
always before us, they will surely
be a help in our own struggles and
sacrifices.
