Ice formed upon the rails to such
an extent that the electric cars could
not operate has been the cause OF
trouble on the Waterville line and
the Winthrop line of the Androscog-
gin and Kennebec electric railroad
since the storm of Sunday. The line
near Waterville has been sos badly
clogged with the ice that a crew of
90 men has been maintained to Clear
the rails with picks and shovels, the
plows being unable to cope with this
trouble. On Tuesday cars were run
on regular schedule from East Vas
salboro to Lewiston. but from East
Nassalboro to Waterville, service
could not be maintained.
The same was true of the VIM
throp line from East Winthrop to
Winthrop. although regular schedule
was maintained from this city to
East Winthrop.
1t was expected that the Waterville
line wouldHbe opened up today land
that as soon as that could be done
the crew of men would be put to
work cleaning up the Winthrop end.
This ice also caused a minor acct
dent Tuesday afternoon when car
went off the iron at Gardeners Cross

Yu Roungling
Widely Known
Chinese Woman

Picking, Mar. e-(AP)-Yu Roung-
ling, lady in waiting to the empress
dowager while still too young to wear
the elaborate Manchu court costume
and therefore obliged to dress as Il
boy, has served every presidential
household under the republic as mis-
tress of ceremonies and is today the
most widely known Chinese woman.
Stepping from a French convent
into the imperial court she became at
once the favorite Of the old empress.
Her grace, beauty and intelligence
have since won for her the highest
honors attainable under China's new
regime. Her greatest ambition now
Is to become a movie" actress.
Madame Dan Pao-tchao as the lit
tie convent girl of Manchu days is
known today, is frankly stagestruck.
She longs for the day when she can
escape the turmoil of Chinese politics
and carve for herself a screen career.
Her yearning for histrionic expression
has found vent in amateur acting and
Chinese interpretative dancing in
which she excels.
Soon after the birth of Yu Roung
ling, in Tientsin. her father, Yu Keng,
became minister of the Tsungli va
men, the department Of the govern
ment which by process of evolution
eventually became the Foreign Office.
AS minister to Japan, Yu Keng later
took his family there. From Japan he
went to Paris as minister to France.
Roungling was placed in charge of
the sisters of Sacre Occur convent,
and the stamp of western culture
which she received in those early
years causes her today. in Partisan
costume which she frequently wears,
to be mistaken for a French woman.
About the time of Yu Keng's re-
turn to China, in the first years of the
present century, the empress dowa-
ger wished to have some young wom-
an who spoke foreign languages and
with a knowledge of western customs
attached to her court Yu Roung-
