PEKINC ADOPTING
WESTERNER'S WAYS
Automobiles No Longer Rarity In
China's Capital City. 80


Pekin-China's picturesque capital
is gradually adopting Western GUS
toms. The ancient salutation of
bowling has been almost entirely re-
placed by handshaking and by the
lifting of hats Walking sticks in
the hands of Chinese patriarchs, port
folios under the arms of brisk young
officials and European clothes are the
evidences in the streets which prompt
observers to predict that Pekin will
soon lose its pre-Manchu appearance.
Even the boys who pull rikishas
have found it profitable to learn Eng
lish and French sufficiently to aid
their foreign patrons, while English
shop signs are becoming conspicuous
in remote parts Of the city.
Shakespeare, after centuries of pa
thence. also has won recognition, for,
while the text of his plays are seldom
read the stories Of his plots are reg
ularly told in the class rooms of the
high schools, thus giving new evil
dence of the universal appeal of the
English bard. Chinese Boy Scout
organizations and brass bands play
ing airs familiar to American ears
are other innovations.
But while new ideas are adopted
many of the old ones are tenaciously
adhered to. Thousands of men in
Pekin still refuse to part with their
queues. Among the coolies one in
every hundred still carries his pig
tail" either dangling over his back
or wound around the top OF his head.
About 200 .automo' rs have been
introduced, but side by side with
them in the congested streets may
still be seen the caravans of camels
starting on their long Journeys over
the Cobb desert just as they started
centuries ago.

NORTH POLE HAS
THE wANDERLUsT

London astronomer asserts that
the distance between Naples, Italy,
and the equator has shortened mile
and half during the past 81 years
and that Greenwich has moved hair
n mile toward the tropics in two de-
cades. The National Geographic
Society says there is no question that
ATTITUDES change but such changes are
of no considerable magnitude and do
not continue for any great length Oh
time in the same direction. The va
riations are due to slight wabbling
OF the earth like that OF a top whlch
is not spinning evenly on its axis
This irregularity does not change the
direction Of the axis itself but it does
change the point on the earths sur
face (the pole poinD from when
the axis energies. BY such changes
most points on the earth would have
their positions altered with reference
TO the poles and to the equator when
is always 80 deg. from the pole point
and therefore follows it in any move
ment which it makes
If the earth's simplest possible ro-
tation had but single wabble added
to Il. the pole point would trace
closed path; that is it would return to
the same position again and again
after the completion Of definite
equal periods But there are at least
two distinct and unequal wabbles
known, one completed in about
year and The other in about il
months. Their combination causes

RULES HEDGING RAIL
RATE CUTS WITHDRAWN

Washington. June 10.-All exist
ing regulations and orders OF the In
terstate Commerce Commission which
might interfere with fhe establish
ment of the 10 per cent reduction in
railroad freight rates July /, were
withdrawn or modified today by the
Interstate Commerce Commission.

that all of the railroads in the United
States had indicated their intention

the pole point to trace lines that are
very roughly elliptical and which
cross and re-cross each other. How
ever, these would change the latitude
of any city at most only 80 feet north
or south of its mean position.
There are other possibilities In re-
gard to change of latitude. One is
that there are other as yet unrecog-
nized wabbles extending over long
er periods which cause the pole point
to wander in circles or ellipses larg-
er than the 60-foot radius ascribed
to the two known wabbles. Another
is that there may be forces in opera
tion which shift the pole point stea-
Oily southwark almost along a def
mite line of longitude. Finally, lati-
tude changes might be due to local
movements, either a sliding Of re-
latively small sections of the earth's
crust, or to recently postulated
Floating" of the continents
An analysis by the U. S. Coast and
Geodetic Survey indicates that the
pole point is shifting southwark to-
ward the continent of North America.
This means in effect that the cities
of the United States are moving slow
ly to the north. However, you need
have no worry that you will awake
some morning to find the north pole
in your back yard. The shift is al
most negligible because of its slow
ness The southwark drift is trifle
over six inches a year. or less than
mile in 10000 years. At this rate
New York would move to the latitude
of oBston in a million years.

GOOD EXCUSE

The juryman ran breathlessly into
court
"Oh, your lordship," he exclaimed,
"if you can excuse me, please
please do! i don't know which will
die first-my wife or my daughter!'
"Dear me, that's sad!" said the
judge. HCertainly you are excused"
The next day the juryman was met
by one of his feilow-jurors, who, in a
sympathetic voice, asked;
"How's your wife?"
"She's all right"
"And your daughter"
"She's all right, too. Why do you
ask?"
"Why, yesterday you told the judge
that you did not know which would
die first"

FIVE ARE INJURED
IN RIOT AT NINE

Terre Haute, Ind, June 10.-Quiet
reigned tonight at the Kerns Com
pany and Morris & Faulkner mines
near here following disturbances to-
day, which resulted in the serious in
Jury to five nOnunion workers. Of
ficials were still apprehensive of fresh
outbreaks, however, and armed
guards were placed about the mines.
All employees of the mines have been
armed.
The disorders began early today
when 100 men marched to the Kerns
Company mine and demanded that
nonunion men employed there lay
down their tools The demand was
refused and the crowd rushed the
employees, injurying five of them.
The men then went to the Morris
& Faulkner mine. short distance
away and made a similar demand
on the workers employed there. The
band, however, by the time of its
arrival at the Morris & Faulkner
mine, had increased to 500 persons.
Davy Jones, a district official of the
United Mine Workers of America,
addressed the men. urging their dis
bandment and they withdrew.
The trouble at the ito mines,
which resumed operations recently
after being idle since the mine strike,
was said by authorities tonight to
have been brewing since the COM
pany decided to employ nonunion
workers.

GOOD READERS CLUB
is FORMED AT STARR

The ga class of Starr school have
formed Good Readers Club. All
the good readers sit on one side Of
the room and read whatever they
choose. The poor readers sit on
the other side of the room and they
have to read aloud to the teacher.
On Friday morning, the Good
Readers Club have program for
the poor readers. One child may
read a story and a poem, or they
may have little play.
When some of the poor readers
read well enough they may come
into the Good Readers Club. The
children who are in the Good Read
ers' Club are: Mary Ellen Kern,
Kathryn Grace, Ellen King, Jose
phine Beetly, Edward Beanblossom
and Loretta Kittle.
Weather Chart
Monday, Starr school had to put
star on their weather chart, be-
cause Of the small snow fall we had
here In Richmond. About four
o'clock in the morning one little
boy said 1t showed quite little
bit. In the afternoon it showed,
too.
The 2 ABS are making a sketch
in sand OF the Tree Dwellers. They
have all the wild animals, such as:
bears, wolves, coyotes, and other
animals. They have the trees
which the tree jewellers lived In.
The children like to make things
in the sand tables very much.
Christmas Plans
Many of the upstairs classes are
planning for Christmas. They in
tend making Christmas gifts for
some little girls and boys we know.
They are making designs to put on
their gifts, and are trying to be
very skilful in making the gifts.
Two or three classes are making
charts of winter birds in Miss Dick
inson's room. Other classes are
finding the difference between soft
and hard woods. The children have
to find all the uses of the woods
they are studying.
All the classes at Starr school
are learning good many select
ions of music. We are just having
q little music contest of our own,
for We want to know the names OF
pieces of music when we hear
them. Every class learns a name
of one piece every week. The week
before last we learned Largo" of

week We learned ITO a Wild Rose.
