Famous Early American

Stephen Girard was born near
Bordeaux, France, May "a, 1850. He
took to seafaring life, became mas
ter of sailing vessel, then owner of
several ships in the American coast
ing and West Indian trade. He set
tied in Philadelphia, increased his
feet. and amassed fortune. the
greater part of which was left to
found and endow Girard College for
Orphans in Philadelphia. He was re-
garded, at the time of his death. as the
wealthiest man in the United States.
although compared to some modern
notions his. fortune was perhaps only
q modest one-some $9.00O.00O.

Synthetic Products

Synthesis means putting together.
and it is, therefore, the opposite of
analysis, which means taking apart.
splitting up into its constituent parts.
In chemistry, synthesis is making
rapid strides, and substances are
made now synthetically to such an
extent as to do away with the neces-
sity in some cases Of producing them
by natural means. The production of
indigo is a striking illustration of this
fact.

]. c. B. B. on ChungkMg-
Ichang steamer, Chi Ping,
March 3, 1927

March 3, 1927
The rest of our journey on the
small boat was quite satisfactory
and an uneventful one. We left
Chengtu ON Feb. IL, and reached
Chungking on the 18th, about noon.
But instead of moving right over to
the steamer as we had hoped that
we might, we had a whole week OF
waiting there. And as most homes
there are now vacated, except for a
man, we mostly stayed right on our
little boats. This was not very
pleasant experience, as our captains
were rather grouchy, asking for
more and more money even after
we had made an arrangement which
they had all agreed to.*
When we were all packed up and
ready to move on to the steamer our
captains refused to bulge an inch
toward the steamer until We promis-
ed them just about twice the amount
we had agreed upon. 1t was a
straight hold UP and we had nothing
to do but give in. Such is life in
China these days. 1t seems as if
they are trying to make as much as
possibleout of the foreigners. But
after all, one can hardly blame them
when one considers how they live;
we would not be out here.
There are three gunboats an
chored here in Chungking, two
British and one American. You
see this is an "open port" and that
means British and American owned
property and business interests to
protect.
The attitude in Chungking is
very different from what we have
in Chengtu, but there is consider
able reason for it, as they have suf-
fered a lot more than we. Alfred
Davidson has been driven out of
the boys school three times and is
now starting home. The building
in which Mira Cumber had her
girls school is now mass of ruins
as are also a number of
bungalows on this second range of
hills. H's,* One finds such
placards as Down With Foreign
Imperialism. -
Now the next stage of our journey
has begun. There are about 40 of
us on steamer with Accommodations
fer six foreigners. Several OF us
are down below in Chinese Quarters.
Six of US have cots right out on
deck, with tarpauli hung around
three sides. While We have not a
particle of privacy except when the
lights are all out at night, still we
feel safer than down below.
They are managing pretty
we'll with feeding the crowd, seating
us in two lots.
The Gorges are just wonderful.
Both, yesterday and today there has,
been quite bit of snow on the tops
of all the higher peaks and there
is a good nip in the air down here
too. But clear l have never be-
lore seen all the outlines Stanu out
so clearly.
(From note addressed to Dan
she says:) How we do wonder what
you are dong these days. We fear.
after all We heard in Chungkung
that the pressure is not going to
let up till you are all out. If the
women folk would all leave | be-
lieve there would be more possibility
of some of you men staying. My
frank belief is that the biggest
reason is that they want to clear
decks for action, but they know we
do not like the sound of that, and so
try to avoid saying it. Another
reason in which l believe they are
