Potato Chips Drive
Hot Peanut From

NEW YORK, Jan. 3.--The
kissing peanut is fast being
driven from the lower East
Side BY the sizzling potato chip,
it was apparent yesterday, and
London is responsible.
Two months ago Philip Wein-
stein, . pickle vendor, had an
idea. It was to sell fried fish
and potato chips on street
stands, after the manner Of the
London vendors. Being a BUSH
ness man, he started in only
with potato chips.
Such was his success that
scores are now doing likewise,
and yesterday there was scarce
ly street corner in the district
not having a stand vending the
chips at 5 and 10 cents a bag.
The fish end Of the cornbina-
ton is to be introduced this
week, it was said.

China Had Great Ruler
in Chin Shih Hunng

Fifty miles south of the Chinese
city of Picking has been discovered
the walls of an ancient city, which
flourished over 1000 years ago. The
walls embrace greater area than the
walls of Picking and lie buried at an
average depth of four feet. Late In
the Second century B. O., there arose
a king in the then comparatively small
China who compared favorably with
Alexander in conquests and empire
building and whose empire lasted al
most until the present day. This was
Chin Shih Huang, or Shih Huang I'll
("The First Bmperor'), whose rule
ending In 200 B. O., marks the close of
the feudai period and the beginning
Of the empire in Chinese history. Shin
Huang II subdued the feudal princes,
built the famed great Chinese wall
and successfully defended the country
against the Tartars from the north,
standardized money, transportation,
writing and other things which aided
Capitalization. and destroyed as much
of the ancient classics and traditions
as possible, with the idea that the
history of the Chinese empire should
begin with his reign.
