Feng declares that he has given
up warfare to take up the serious

The Christian General was
asked for a cabled statement as to
his views on the Chinese statement.
and today he responded as follows
''I regret to say that it seems
Unnecessary for me to outline
China's political outlook now. be-

regarded as the strongest military
leader Of China, gives up the sword
for cultural pursuits at time when
1t seemed that the tide of his
affairs was reaching a climax. Ac-
cording to all reports he might
have become the real dictator of
China. But contrariwise he might
have suffered defeat at the hands
OF his enemies. He retires on a
wave OF success.
The cable from Feng is effective
denial OF reports that he is en-
route to Moscow, and also throws
discredit upon reports that he has
secreted himself fearful Of assassin

There still a few editors who assume to

that this is the only spelling of the name
of the bivslve from which the Shoals take their

As matter of fact. the name of this marine
animal is spelled either "mussel' or muscle" as

close. But Muscle Shoals" early came to be
recognized as the official form. as evidenced by
that spelling the following maps

SKIRTS AND BRAINS

Prof. Muzzey of Columbia university, speak
ing at the graduation of the Sargent school of Ply
steal Education, remarked that he was not alarmed
about the alleged degeneracy of the present gem
Grafton. He was not worried about bobbed hair if
the modern girl did not have bobhed brains, and he
was not troubled about short skirts, if the young
ladies did not have shortened brains
Manners and customs are bound to change
greatly. Some Is years ago, the director of
charitable entertainment announced to the young
women who were taking part in a certain stage
performance, that they were to wear skirts 10
inches from the ground. The girls caught their
breath at suggestion so shocking But see where
they are now
The main question regarding all the social
changes that come, is as to whether people are still
able to think inteligently and whether their stan
dards such as shall produce wholesome family
Influence and clean thoughts, and whether the chill
dren who are just coming along going to grow
up well disciplined members of society
One thing seems pretty clear that the intel
eetual achievement of young people in the schools
is fully up to what it used to be, and without much
doubt has gone ahead of it. The new generation
of young people are very keen and bright But
there is tendency, when they get through their
education, to become absorbed in their various
diversions, that they do not keep up Intellectual
progress. The womens clubs and the mems organ
izations have job on their hands to make people
think.
As to the moral standards of the younger peo-
pie, opinions differ. We need some better pro-
vision for moral and religious training to give peo-
pie the idea that the acquisition of money is not
the foremost aim of existence

THE AMERICAN HOME

Improvement of the American home that
mad flight after irresponsible pleasure, toward
family enjoyments, emphasized the ideal
in the report of the president of the General Fed
Grafton of Women's Clubs at the recent convention
at Atlantic City.
The creation of more attractive homes is a
fine and lovely aim. There is question if the
younger people will ever fully return to the old
honey ideals when the women devoted most of
their energies to fine housewifery and the young
people gathered for home enjoyments
1t seems long distance back to the time when
people would gather their doorsteps to sing old
fashioned minstrel songs, while some romantic girl
would thrum her guitar, and merriment would re-
sound over the neighborhood. To-day the children
of that same bunch are probably at the movies or
dancing at public resort or burning up gas
oline.
1t will be interesting to what the club
do to promote some revival of this old
spirit. Probably if the girls made more of study
of household arts, and learned like older folks to
take pride in their very fine cooking, and in main
tanning very well ordered home it would have
some effect People find pleasure in doing some
thing when they do it very we'll
Music is always great promoter of home en-
joyment. Occasionally one now hears some little
group in the homes tuning away on piano and
saxophone and violin, or something like that, and
that bunch do not worry the old folks much.
Things seem to go by action and reaction. After
period of restlessness, people may return to the
old feeling of affection for the home nest.
