Hongkong was ceded to the British
in 1841, several years before the 18th
amendment was passed in the United
States. 1t is located across the bay
from Kowloon, a city of 100000 in
habitants and | guess that's where

that way. | really don't know what
the concoction is, but it's cinch it
has completely ruined my taste for
Arbuckle's. 1t tastes like something
that nobody else wants, all put to-
gether and boiled eight hours. Then
you season to taste" if you can find
anything else on earth that nobody
wants or can use.
Hongkong when lighted up at night
and viewed from our big boat out in
the harbor, really made one feel he
was looking at fairyland. Banked up
against the dark background of the
hills were sparkling electric lights.
Not in regular rows. Just vast
spread of lights around for miles
from the top of the hills down to the
waters edge. Thicker at the sea level
where the city lights collected in the
business district-then grand spat-
ter as far as the eye could see. Regu-
lar rows of lights would have spoiled
the panorama.

The Rotary club of Manila is on

The Masonic body has invited all'

the other two were Rio de Janeiro and
Sidney, Australia. | don't know any
one in the other two places~so am vot-
ing all the honors to Hongkong. Also
not having seen the other two am
still for Hongkong. Most of our keen
eyed, vision soaked visitors have
agreed with me without a voting con-
test that Hongkong was about the
most attractive place so far as we had
dropped our mud-hook into. | pre-
sumo it may have its disadvantages.
From my personal observations and
deep study, / am frank to say that
would not care to live here and be a
Chinese woman. | saw old maids of
all sizes and ages, with baskets bal
anced on a bamboo pole across their
shoulders carting away debris from a
building that was torn down; the same
variety doing the hustlng up of rock
and material to the builders; breaking
rock with little hammers along the
roadside for the concrete mixture
used in repairing the road.
1t is possible that my statement
that they were old maids isn't strictly
true, but it is said that in China a
woman who bears no children must
bear other burdens. didn't go muss-
ing around any alleys rapping up any
families just to get data from home
folks, with names and street address
es, but I'm sure that's the system.
Women do not vote here in China.
However, if they did and only those
who had children were allowed to
vote, it is cinch that about the same
condition of affairs would prevail. You
can't tell. saw one lady working the
big end of large oar on the back end
of one of these sea-cooties, with a
baby on her back, kicking knee-high
member of the family out of the way,
while giving left handed slap to an
other miniature member. | didn't see
any man on the cumbersome looking
boat, but presume he was down in the
cellar region some place resting.
But, of course that's not what we
are interested in. Hongkong was for
merly a part of the Chinese empire,
first occupied by British traders IN
1889 who withdrew from Canton. (No,
we didn't go to Canton because OF
illness, but it is reported by returning

many automobiles here, but the pony
carts are very popular.
There are no rickasha or men used
for horse power in evidence here.
The Filipino is dark and small, in
fact the policemen even, look like ten
year-old kids, but the people look
clean, comfortable and happy.
One ramble about Manila soon con-
vinces one that regardless of the fact
they live in close to Japan and China,
people The women are treated bet
ter and seem to be considered human
by the male sex. | don't know as the
men folks go quite as far as we do
in their treatment of women folk, bur
they do not figure that they should
have the worst of it.
Being rather a peculiar country the
women wear peculiar dresses. Well,
some of the men do, too. They wear
fancy embroidered shirts of open net
work on the outside of their trousers.
That is, the old timers do; the rest
wear American clothes. The women
wear skirts longer than ours do-both
as to time and measure.
A special feature of their dresses is

Manila has 100000 inhabitants. Its
cosmopolitan charm and quaint exotic
social atmosphere are never forgotten,

ton by Mayor M. Romnaldez in which
he handed the Belgenlanders his spe-
cial compliments and welcome to the

| Down the line again we find this
statement, which is interesting: "Ex-
cepting the presidency, the highest

things are moving some over here.

The great adventure of this fore
noon was a tram car ride Up the steep
hillside with Roland A. Wilson, who
makes about all the cigar boxes down
at Tampa, Fla, in which the best
cigars are circulated in. This climb
up from sea level is only 1900 feet,
but the way you do it rather gets
your goat. It's so steep that you got
ia anchor your chickens to keep them
from laying scrambled eggs. Why, the
street car conductor, who was only
about three feet eight tall had to
lean over to get the ticket from a
man six feet tall right in front OF
him. Mebby you think I'm lying to

They must have been ruined by fall

The queerest feeling was in passing
great buildings Of cement, concrete,
brick, etc., as you went by. They ap-
peared to be poured into the hillside
on slant. They were built so close
to the tramway that one didn't get
only a partial view, consequently it
gave several Of us passengers an un-
canny feeling. This feeling predom-
mated quite so extensive that we are
confident it had no connection with a
possible Spiritual visitation from
Johnny Walker or General Haig and
Haig. You felt if anything slipped

of the average present-day reformer and uplifter, who seeks to be not only his brothers keeper, but his absolute censor and dictator as we'll. Under the pretext of laying down rules and regulations for our own good" they too often become an unmitigated hui sance.
 By unwarranted interference with the fundamental rights of free men, they degenerate into obnoxious med dlers and busybodies. Their exces- sive zeal for reforming others breeds resentment and indignation, which tends to defeat their purposes, even though those purposes were sincere, which they frequently are not. If the supposed evils were really corrected the reformers would be out of their jobs
 So long as a lot of social parasites are able to profit by the organization and maintenance of multitude of an ti-this and anti-that societies we may expect the tribe to increase. When we stop supporting them they will prob ably turn their attention to more use full pursuits.

The city tennis court will be com pleted by next Tuesday, according to officials of the organization, with the placing of the markers and the set ting up of the brand new net, which will arrive the end of this week from Seattle. The court, located on Third avenue and Adams street, has been worked over from one end to the other, the result being, 10 finer ten his court can be found in Alaska.
 special effort is being made by the officials to increase the member ship of the club as the sum of $4O0 has been expended on the court this spring and the treasury now shows a slight deficiency. Club dues for the year are s5, small enough charge when one considers the splen- did court and the healthful outdoor exercise placed at the disposal of the members. Annual membership cards can be obtained from Charles Hinde and A. E. Fucker. AS a com munity asset, the tennis court ranks among the first.

APPEAL TO GRADUATES

A striking commentary on the eff cacy of the Volstead act is furnished by an article in the Yale Alumni Weekly, the official organ of the university administration, referring to the June reunion of graduates of that institution, at which about 2,500 are expected to attend. It says:
 "Thoughtless graduates, bent on having good time when coming back for reunions, can undo the efforts of the whole year on the part of the university itself to make it's under graduates understand what it expects of them. The commencement liquor question should be settled without further individual opposition"
 In plainer English this means that it is feared that graduates who return for the alumni reunion will indulge in liquor to an extent that will be demoralizing to the undergraduate

BANDIT WOULD RETIRE

American bandits are nervy enough, but none has quite equalled Servian robber, whose demand for money on which to leave the country has been received by the Belgrade police.
 Yussef Mekonitch is one of the most notorious brigands of the Nova Bazaar district, whose operations have covered a long period, and he now desires to retire from active banditry.
 In very matter of fact and busi- nesslike letter he states his case, as follows:
 If you want to get rid of me once and for all, send me ten thousand dinars (about $150) as travelling ex penses to Constantinople. I want tc retire there. I think this disburse ment will be trifle to the anthori ties in comparison with what punitive expeditions against me have cost and will cost in the future if you do not pay me the 10000 dinars. Pay me and then I will let you be in peace"

SAFETY TRAINING

What appears to be a constructive effort in behalf of safety for children is being made by the Chicago health department; in fact, it is claimed in a recent bulletin that fatalities among school children from accidents have been reduced 40 per cent under the system now in effect.
 Among the means employed are the following; Teaching children to be careful, posting of warning and safety signs along streets and high ways, establishment of additional playgrounds and play streets. In the play street the thoroughfare is barri- caded during certain hours of the day, so that traffic may not pass through portions so set apart.
 A school boy patrol force, number ing more than 5000, has been organ ized for the purpose of instructing smaller children in safety precautions and aiding in the enforcement of traf- fc regulations.
 Adoption of similar measures might be extended to smaller cities and towns with beneficial results and certainly any plan which may be the means of reducing the frightful death toll from automobiles is worth try ing

STONE MOUNTAIN COIN

Great satisfaction is being ex- pressed throughout the South over the unanimous action of the last Con. gress in authorizing a special coin. age of half dollars in aid of the Stone Mountain Memorial project.
 These coins will be sold turnout the country as souvenirs at one dol lar each, the profits to be devoted to the carving of the memorial figures of Confederate leaders on the face of Stone Mountain, near Atlanta.
 Among the recent editorial expres. sions concerning this action of Con. gress, the following is typical:
 The passage of the act authoriz ing the minting of the Stone Noun tain Memorial coin represents the highest note struck in the new Union It is not only an expression of the country's confidence in the South but of loftiness of soul and patriot ism, North and West, which argues we'll for closer bonds of friendship and for permanent peace

OUR BROTHERS KEEPER

When Cain made his famous query, Am I my brothers keeper?" he started a train of thought which cul- minated in the idea that each of us is our brothers keeper-that is, that we are to some extent responsible for the welfare of those around us.
 Broadly speaking, this is quite true. A reasonable solicitude fol our fellowmen is entirely proper and such an attitude honestly and unself ishly maintained is conducive to much good.
 But, like many another doctrine that is sound in theory and principle it may be carried to extremes in prac tice.
 This is illustrated by the activities
