KALGAN IS CITY
 0N GREAT WALL
Located on Horseshoe Curve
 il China

Washington, D, C., Oct. 14-Kal- gan, important trading center of northern China recently occupied by Nationalist forces, occupies one Of fhe most ancient crossroads in the world. There the caravan route from Picking to Urga, on the other side of the Gobi Desert, crosses the Great Wall of China. The Great Wall has fallen into disuse and is no longer q military highway, but the caravan route to Mongolia has kept pace with the times and new auto mobiles mingle with the camel trains on it's long and tedious path. here Railway Meets Desert Trails
 kalgan Is situated near the bor- der of the Province or Chilli and Mongolia, about 126 miles by rail northwest of Picking. At this point The Great Wall has formed a horse shoe curve. KaIsan is on the outer edge and Nankow on the inner. The traveller from Picking thus crosses the old fortificatiou twice, once at Nankow and later at Kalgan. The railway journey from Peklng occu- pies an entire day. due to the steady rise in the landscape toward the Mongolian plateau, which has kal- gan on its rim.
 Thence tea and tobacco for the northern trade must be hauled across the Gobi by cart, camel or an occasional motor truck. Such a tourney occupies many days, wells being twenty, thirty and even fifty miles apart. Caravans are enormous, some numbering between three and four hundred camels. Many camels succumb to heat cold, hunger or thirst and the trail is marked by tleached bones of dead animals. For the most part they get through, however, and on their way south pour the products Of Mongolia into kalgan. Hides, wools. and furs reach this outpost of civilization in enormous quantities from the graz ing lands Of the north.
 The TeNas of Asia
 Another Moncolian product mark tlbu JllIOuEll iNIIStlll ls N44N J'tiL ~ little Mongol pony of the plains. These are in demand throughout the northern provinces, especially gray and white ponies, the latter being 1avorites with the Chinese. Foreign ers find these tough little beasts first rate for saddle purposes, though they have reputation for stumbling.
 Plains, ponies, and herds give KaIgan the air of the old American West, an illusion not dispelled by it's reputation for lawlessness.
 The city has an estimated popula- ton of o,00O who are largely en- ployed in trading and allied indus tries, such as the manufacture of saddles, harness, and rope. Low mud and brick houses with tile roofs stretch in dirty monotony on either side of the Ia Ho, which stream cuts the city in two. and during the rainy season sometimes floods the neighborhood, There are many Rus sian inhabitants and they have their own bank and church. Modern architecture is represented by few business buildings belonging 10 the fur and tobacco trade and native stores. The white population other than Russian has always been small, limited to few traders and mis- sionaries.

 Captain Giles plane, the Hess

N. Z.. 1862.
 Captain Giles plane. the Hess Blue Bird, was built without pro- visions for landing on the water. Its only bouyancy would be from the largest gasoline tank, waived for emptying quickly.
 The flight was financed by W. H. Rosewarne of Detroit, purely as "a sporting proposition" Captain Giles explained.
 T don't get a dollar for my part Of the undertaking" he said. its entirely sporting proposition and has no commercial angle"
 Captain Giles is 35 and unmar- ried. He declared he would return to America as quickly as possible after the flight.
 The picture of Miss Wanda Hess Of Wyndotte, Mich, sister of the de- signer of the plane. was pasted on the side wall of the cock pit near the instrument board but Captain Giles, all hlushes, declined 10 say whether that" was the reason for his haste to return to America.

the cast had had no previous dra,
 matic experience. each conducted
 himself as a veteran with perfec,
 dramatic technique. Miss Catherine Fitzpatrick. as Kathleen O'Connor
 was perfect type of the sweet
 young maiden, who keeps her suitor guessing up to the last minute. Her ! lines were delivered in a clear. inn 1 Pressive manner and she portrayed alternately love and disgust im- pressively.
 Miss Alice Bratton, as Tessie Con- nors, the maid, had the vivacity and inquisitiveness of a servant who doesn't know her place and Is con- stantly intruding in family affairs. AS she brings the police into the case, she is regarded as the cause Of the mixup which ensues. Her conversation with Slade. the plain clothes man, is one of the high spots of the show.
 Miss Loretta King, a. Nora Shea. did some clever acting. particularly in the tiffs with her suitor. Jimmie Rooney, who, she believes, is untrue 10 her. Her unrestrained anger as she comes upon Jimmie in the act Of helping the supposed Mrs. Peter son to arrange her costume, followed by a. burst of tears, was truly fem mine. and the heart of the audience was gladdened as they saw Jimmie putting the ring on her finger at the last curtain.
 Mrs. Helen Kuhne, as the Widow Rooney. was remarkable. Her pan tomlme as the supposed Mrs. Peter son makes her appearance and claims Tim Shea as her husband carried the audience by storm. Her Irish brogue was one Of the many good points about her acting.
 James Maher. as Patrick Rooney, was a perfect type of the Irishman loyal 10 his friends, and yet quick 10 see humor in their misfortunes. His efforts 10 free Tim Shea from marrying Mrs. Rooney, were made with the best Of intentions. but proved unavailing. The first big laugh of the evening came with Pats appearance in company with Tim, and every line spoken by him was laugh getter.
