CHARM OF PEKIN

IN SPITE OF WAR
Few Leave City of Famine

PEKIN, Sept. 17.-'How soon are
you coming home. away from that
terrible Chinese city of Pekin?"
Few of Pekin's several thousand
American and European residents
but receive this query, in one form
or another, in almost every in
coming mail-yet fewer still appear
to heed 1t.
There must be an explanation.
and the explanation is that Pekin, in
spite OF war. famine. aerial bombing
and all other current drawbacks
continues to be one of the pleasant
est cities of the world for foreign
residents. Pekin, to the foreigner.
offers an exceptional combination of
mental charm and physical comfort.
Treasure Chest
The hasty visitor here may scurry
about the famous Forbidden City
of the Emperors, dream in the love-
ly summer palace. shop in the sill;
and jade and curio markets, and in
a brief few days pack up A treasure
chest Of memories and material
trophies.
But it is only by remaining for
months and years that the foreigner
learns the full magic of Pekin.
Probably no other city on earth
has a more diverse ard sophisticated
population than Pekin. Here are
gathered folk who have explored the
four corners Of the earth and most
Of the crevices as well. They are
for the most part people ruled by
desires out of the ordinary. If
their aim is material things. they
are usually playing for big stakes.
and in an adventurous way.
Living Conditions Good
Living conditions are exception.
ally good. There is dry, agreeable
climate with not-too-cold winters,
wholly endurable summers. wonder
full autumns, and a spring season
marred only by occasional dust
storms. Houses are plentiful and
cheap. and Chinese servants are so
inexpensive and so eager to obtain
Jobs that the difficulty is to keep
from having too many around the
place.
Foreign masculine life in Pekin
centers in the Picking Club, a model
institution with the customary we'll
stocked bar and with a long list of
other conveniences, including library,
bridge rooms, pool and billiard tables,
ten tennis courts, skating in winter,
bowling. a barbershop and motor
cars. Meals may be had, but there
are no rooms for lodging. Up to
p. m. women Of the members
families are welcome everywhere in
the club save the bar and the place
resembles a country rather than a
city club.
While Pekin home dinners are a
feature of the city's social life, the
Grand Hotel de Pekin and the Grand
Hotel des Wagons Lifts have good
orchestras for dancing afterward,
and the Hotel de Pekin roof garden
is a pleasure of the summer season.

LOCOMOTIVES WRECKED
 DOING SCREEN STUNTS

Have you a locomotive in your home?
 You have not. Almost everybody at some time or another has some kind of a flivver. But locomotives aren't as common as all that. They're hard to get. And when they get them in the movies they keep them just long enought to smash to pieces.
 In "The Danger Signal" for in- stance, an engine is seen laundering along-and the next instant crashing into space to become a junk pile. "The Danger Signal" new Colum- bia feature which will be shown at the Liberty theatre tonight and tomorrow deals with railroad love and adven- ture. It's cast includes Jane Novak, Dorothy Revier, Robert Edeson, Gas ton Glass, Robert Gordon and other well-known players
 The scene where the huge iron monster hurls itself over the hill, ends with the showing of the com plete wreck Erie 0. Kenton, who dir ected this drama of the laundering tracks, was satisfied with the result, but if he had been displeased it would have taken a long time and great trouble to duplicate that one incident. And the great pile can not even be sold as junk since the cost of moving it far exceeds it's value.
 So it can be seen that it isn't an easy thing to film a wreck, and that it must be done with considerable care and preparation to achieve the desired result.

Gold plated furs are the latest sensation in exclusive English fur shops. Stoles and neck pieces of fox, each hair of which has been worn by women of discriminating taste. Other furs are being sill vered.
 The furs are immersed in bath of eighteen-carat gold or a solution of silver, and are subjected to the same treatment that is applied in electroplating.

WAR BETWEEN
ICE CREAM MEN
Elizabeth City and Norfolk
Concerns Invading Each
Others Fields

Competition i'll the ice cream
business in Elizabeth City is
becoming interesting. The
Southern Diaries of Norfolk
have been cutting into the local
business Of the Winikream CO.
Elizabeth City manufacturers
OF ice cream. The Winikream
Co. strikes back at the Norfolk
concern by locating a plant in
Norfolk. right under the nose
of the Southern Diaries con-
Germ.
Hard upon the heels of this an
mouncpment comes word that the
Southern Diaries purposes to locate
Il branch in Elizabeth City Oh or
before January first next.
The Southern Diaries. an organi-
Zntion with abundant capital. has
finally acquired a practical mono
poly of the ice cream business i'll
: Norfolk. having taken over and alb
snrhrd one after another of COM
netting concerns. 1t does biz bust
ness in the Elizabeth City terri
tory. supplying cream to most of
the soda fountains in Elizabeth
City. to the despair Of the Wini-
krcam Go.
But because it is Il monopoly, the
Southern Dairies has Il number of
dissatisfied customers in Norfolk
who are willing to encourage COM
petition. And so the Winikream
Co. of Elizabeth City is planting 4
branch in Norfolk, throwing its hat
in the ring against a competitor
that has swallowed several large
concerns. The outcome will be !u-
tercSting.
