DAUGHTER-IN-LAWS IN CHINA
Young Bride Must Obey Mother-in-
Law and See That Her Hus-
band Goes to School.

Duties Of daughter-in-law form a
main chapter in the Chinese education
of girls. These duties demand great
self-control and may be expressed in
two words: Obedience and self-nega-
ton. A young bride must submit her
self entirely to the commands of her
mother-in-law. She must also see
that her husband, who may be only
sixteen, goes to school and studies at
home. She must share his poverty I'M
til he is able to earn, and be kind to
his sisters. If.her husband takes an
other wife, she must receive her as a
sister, and love the children of the
newcomer as though they were her
own.
Fidelity in widowhood is a sign OF
high virtue and in cases Of supreme
love a woman even may sacrifice her
life to follow her husband.

MONTANA FLAG WITH
P. 0. DEPT. COLLECTION

Washington, May 2O.-On May
26 a Montana Flag is to be added to
the post Office department collection
of state flags, arrangements for pre-
%sentation on that date having been
arrived at by Congressman Scott
Leavitt and Postmaster General Har-
ry S. New. This flag will be used
in the exercises of the department
on flag day, June IA.
The Montana flag that is to be
presented is the gift Of the Order of
DeMolay and Daughters of the Rain
bow at Great Falls, who asked Mr..
Leavitt to look after the matter for
them.
In selecting May &c to present
the flag Mr.. Leavitt pointed out that
it will be the twenty-sixth anniver-
sary of the sailing of the First Mon
tana Regiment for the Philippines.
This is considered noteworthy in
view of the fact that the regimental
flag of these troops was adopted as
the state flag, the only change being
the omission of the name of the reg
iment.

HERE'S THE DOPE
ON DEMOCRATIC
RACE SITUATION
Supporters of Smith to
Play a Waiting
Game
BY ROBERT j. BENDER
Omitted Press Staff Correspondsntl

NEW YORK, May 27.-Support-
crs of Gov. Al Smith for the Demo
cratic presidential nomination, will
play waiting game AZ The convem-
ton hero next month, confident i'm
the sticking - powers of the Smith
delegates.
Because the first dramatic fight
for the nomination will be between
smith and ". G. McAdoo, il is in
tcrcsting to analyzc their respective
strength and the strategy of their
leaders.
McAdoo is counting on ovcrwhclm
ing his chief opponent by missing
the full strength of his delegates in
the first three rounds OF bal,oting
trying for 4 knockout. To that end
McAdoo will probably be on the
battle ground. lie has already seen
some of his strongest hackers pull
away from him and after his testi
mony at the oil hearing in Wash
ington he might he said to have
found himself the pilot and all the
crew of his ship. Nearly everyone
else had deserted. BY the sheer
force of his personality, courage and
persuasion, during Il momentous
meeting after he testified before
the oil committee he whipped his
friends back on board again. Since
then he has made a really remark
able comeback.
But McAdoo knows that while he
has licked timid supporters inlivid-
ually, he has got to whip his sup
pOrters collectively and hold them
in line if he is to win the noaina
tion. That is why he will be or
the scene of the fray himself
On the other hand the supporters
of Smith believe their chances rest
in the long drawn fight. They have
made no claims of an early victory
for their candidate.
There is not 4 doubt that this
quiet campaign of persuasion to
get aboard Il winner has had n
very strong effect on supporters of
McAdoo. Add to this the fact that
the organization Democrats are 60
ing 10 swing into line behind Smith !
st the proper time and it is easy to
understand why his strategy is to |
play the waiting game.
