Chop Suey and longs
Not Known in China

NEW YORK. ''Tong societies"
said Mr.. Chang, may be likened to
chop suey-neither one is a product
of China. Chinese restaurants in
America serve chop suey because the
public demands it, not because 1t is
the national food Of China. Likewise
the Tong orders are Americ an
growths. They would not be tolerat-
ed in China.
The speaker was Mr.. ziang Ling
Chang, the Chinese consul general,
into whose hands has been given the
task of stopping the recent tong war.
Working with him are all the leading
Chinese merchants of the city, who
are not members of any tong society,
constituting neutral board of arbi-
tration. This group confers in turn
with heads of the two rival societies
in an effort to bring about peace.
do not think of the Chinese part
of the population as one divided
wholly into warning factions. The
tong members, after all, constitute but
a small portion of Chinese residents
in New York.
This present outburst is in no
sense political. The civil war in
China that is going on between rival
provinces has nothing to do with con-
ditions here. War between provinces
is not new in China. Clan wars
wherein the Chinese family Robinson
sets out to exterminate the Chinese
family Smith-have always existed.
But the tongs have grown up in the
Chinese quarters of San Francisco
and New York. They have their com
mercial as well as their secret side.
Their members are mostly all bust
ness men and they are organized
partly for business purposes.
For the past decade the tongs
have been so quiet and peaceable that
the general public forgot the bloody
struggles Of the past, and the fact that
the tongs existed had almost passed
out of the minds of people.
Mr.. Chang was guest of Hotel
Pennsylvania while the peace negoti-
atoms were going on.

Wayside Farm Has It's Own System

1t was peppers that the famous Peter
Piper is said to have picked, but these
are peaches picked by certain princesses,
which is almost as alliterative and much
more appealing.
Edna Stocker and Edythe Vega make
business of helping to manufacture
telephone apparatus at the Kearny
works of the Western Electric Com
pany. As an ayocation, picking peaches
is strong favorite in season. This
proves that life is not all brass tacks
for the girls who devote their energies
to business and industry-some of it is
peaches.
This scene is at Wayside Farms, near
Lebanon, N. J., where Mrs. Frank
Welsh is hostess. There is plenty of
fruit Cat the time this picture was
taken 500 baskets were being picked
daily, but there is apt to be a scarcity
OF pickers, and Mrs. Welsh enlists her
friends. Radio adds the ultimate touch
OF entertainment, so that even peach
picking is not immune from loud
speaking these days.

There, his old friends, extended a
hearty welcome to Thompson, and
Permitted him free access to the fort,
where dissatisfaction already existed.
Thompson made the most of his
opportunity, and what his keen OBJ
servation noted there, later to be
reported to his company, undoubted-
ly was the principal factor in the
failure of the Aston experiment, when
the fort and what it contained valued
at 100000, was sold by Duncan
McDougal for $4,000.
From an address delivered June
%, 1911, by T. G. Elliott, at Kettle
Falls, and afterwards published by
the Oregon Historical Society, I
quote the following. Courage and
ability to endure hardships were but
common attributes to the fur trader,
but ability to observe intelligently
and record with continual care the
daily events and experiences, and the
habits and names of the Indian tribes
and localities was not so common
David Thompson kept his notebook
or journal under all conditions of
weather or travel, and made record
of the daily camping places in scien-
tific terms and with such exactness
that these localities can be checked
today with scarce a variation. His
instruments were small, only such as
could be held in the hand, but his
observations were accurate. A prom
inent engineer and scholar of Canada
has had occasion to follow many of
the routes of travel and gives testi-
mony to this fact. At the
age of seven years and a poor boy

Col. G. r.. Norris, probably the
most famous frontiersman and In
dian fighter left in Montana, died
at Lewistown recently. He was rs
years of age, and came to Montana
In 1867. He was employed Tor
some years as government scout
and took part in many Indian
fights in the early days, the most
important of these being the battle
at the mouth OF the Musselshel
river.
He was scout for General Miles
when Chief Joseph undertook to
escape into Canada and rode into
Chief Joseph's camp on Dog creek,
in Fergus county, and out again
before the startled Indians realized
he was there.
He reported to General Miles,
who intercepted Chief Joseph i'm
the Bear Paw mountains, where
the Indians surrendered, Colonel
Norris being with the soldiers at
the time.
In the 7Os he established the
trading post on the Judith river,
senator T. G. Power being associat-
ed with him in the enterprise, and
he founded the Pm cattle outfit.
Colonel Norris sold out at Lewis
town about 1907 or 1908 and, go
ing to Seattle, bought the Burke
hotel, which he conducted for some
time. In various ways he lost his
fortune, and returned to Lewis
town five years ago.
He is survived by two sons resid-
ing at Lewistown.

William Bottoms Is
Injured In Crash
Reported to Be in Serious Condi-
ton at Atlantic City Hospital
Jones is Held.

During the snow storm on Sunday
night an automobile driven by Jesse
Jones, of Atlantic City, crashed into a
stalled machine owned by Arthur Pal
mer, of Absecon, on the Absecon bou-
levard. Jones claims that the snow
covered his windshield and hid the
stalled car from his sight. With Jones,
as a passenger, was William Bottoms,
of Absecon, who was badly injured,
perhaps fatally. Jones was also cut
and bruised and admitted to the At
lantic City Hospital along with Bot
toms.
On Monday Jones was taken from
the hospital and arraigned before
Magistrate Paxson, by whom he was
held under $500 bail pending the out
come of the injuries sustained by Bot
toms. Jones was also required to post
SIS bail on charge of driving the car
without a license.
Bottoms was reported Monday night
as slightly improved, although his con-
dition is still serious. He is the man
who was arrested on May IL, 1928,
after stiff battle with detectives who
had warrant for him on complaint
of William H. Hopkins, colored garage
employe, of Atlantic City, who alleged
that Bottoms dragged him from a car
he was delivering to a buyer in Ocean
