the gift of a bottle of water to Gen.

Gen. Feng. In order properly to APP

be understood that ENu is admittedly
an expert on fine wines and cham

doughty general.

OF them ALL the life story of Chang
Tso Lin is the most astonishing, as
this super Tuchan of Manchuria, or
the Three Eastern Marches" as they
are usually called, is a parsonage. But
he commenced life as a "horse
bandit"
There appears to be no really ade
quate translation of this vigorous
.hrase, but it is said to carry rather
more meaning than is included in the
ordinary word, bandit" with which
most Of China is only too familiar and
which is expressed in Manchurian as
'hungtuze.
Way back in the time of the Russo.
Japanese War, Chang Tso Lin was
busily engaged in the wholesale at
tack Of prosperous villages in Man
churia. From these he selected
wealthy residents for ransom, and on
one of these illegal forays, he cap
tured the young and pretty daughter
of an influential citizen, and married
her. The son of this romance, Chang
! Hsueh- -Liang, was recently sent down
to Honan to help stiffen the line
against the Southern invaders, as the
Marshal of Manchuria has no SYM
pathy with communism in any form.

rose rapidly to the front as the astute
officials enrolled him in the regular
army following his career as a captain
in the military forces of Japan during
her war with Russia. BY the time the
Chinese revolution was in the air he
had gained 50 much political as well
as military prestige that it seemed an
opportune moment for him to oust
the governor general of Manchuria,
so that he was able to take over the
onerous duty Of this position himself.
According TO official sources, many
of these generals in China have accu-
mulated millions of dollars from taxes
collected in advance from the resi-
dents, and so it may be understood
that the ruler of any large area is
apt to have large resources.
Chang Tro Lin has been in control
of his area since 1911, so he has been
able to consolidate his position, and,
with the exception of a rebellion
against him year ago, has kept his
district practically free from the deVas-
tatlng wars common in many parts of
China in the last few years.
He has a mind as sharp as razor,
though he can barely sign his name,
and is said to be unable to read. He
is very superstitious and fully credits
many Of the ancient Chinese legends,
particularly the one about the white
foxes.
Aoout year ago, he remarked in a
conversation that many costly furs
were to be found in Manchuria but
| that the rarest were the white and
silver foxes. But, he then added that,
of course, this was easily appreciated
since it was well known that a white
| fox lives a thousand and a silver fox
| five hundred years.
| He may be superstitious, but he does
| not deny himself the luxury of using
! sound common sense, particularly in
| these days of Chinese unrest, and, like
many another astute general of the
land of Han, never travels away from

with no particular authority to do so.
However, as ne is allied to q dozen

very powerful, with a sphere of influ-

The attention of the world in gen.
efaI is fastened upon the Cantonese
lorces, which are a part of the
Northern Expeditionary Army"
1t has been frequently and heatedly
denied by these same Nationalists that
they are Red" or that thew have
been ''communized," or that they are
controlled by Russian influence, but
II this Is the case, then appearances
are deceptive indeed. So deceptive, in
fact, that the most casual observer

present Cantonese government and its
army and the government in Soviet

given Feng for his betrayal on the
field of battle, but the bottle of water
was something else again.
Feng has brought to light the old
Chinese saying of reversing the
smear as a result of his alleged
treachery to his superior couple of
years ago, in the war against Chang
Tso Lin. There is a distinct cool
ness between him ID his former mis-
sionary friends and his attitude toward
gambling and his control over his
troops has undergone an abrupt
change.
Formerly the regions occupied by
Feng were kept in good order and
much of the money raised to main
tain them came from the Buddhist
monasteries, rich individuals and
trade exactions.
To the west of Feng's present sec
tor, in the Province of Shensi. there is
a region that is known as the little
Switzerland" of China. since the
"model governor" Yen Hsi-Shen, has
been in control since 1911, and, in
spite of the constant warfare near his
territory, has always managed in
some way to avoid conflict and to
maintain his neutrality.
Industry and trade have prospered
accordingly, especially since the
money he gathers in taxes is placed
out for the public welfare in roads,
education and similar outlets, and
this unusual and public-spirited atti-
tude may be better appreciated when
it is realized that in many provinces
in China schools and colleges have
been closed for lack of funds, which
had been diverted by the authorities
to carry on wars.
Another great curse upon the popu.
lace in recent years. when wars have
been sporadic since the disruption of
orderly government, has been the
banditry. 1t has often happened that
a general with n force of 10000 we'll
equipped men has failed to keep down
these brigands, because he was

Uplift in Pillows.

NO other single element in the
equipment for sleeping has quite
so much effect upon slumber as the
pillow. and probably no other element
is quite so sadly neglected. Imperfect
sleepers regulate their dit and their
exercise so as to coax slumber. Some
even go so far as to have the bed
stretched north and south, so that the
body shall line along the track of bene-
ficent electric currents seeking the
North Pole. Others insulate their
beds against any possible loss of elec.
tricity by tucking each bedpost into a
thick glass insulator, such as one sees
on telegraph poles.
But how many pay attention to the
size and substance of the pillow? In
sonlniacs owe a debt of gratitude to
doctors, for 1t is from a prominent
medico that the following pillow lore
has been acquired:
The inside of the pillow should be of
medium texture, for too hard or too
soft substance will cause enough dis
comfort to make sleep impossible. The
thickness of the pillow is of the ut
most Importance. 1t should be exactly
the same as the distance between the
VI the nedu ana a straight line
drawn upward from the outside of the
shoulder. The narrow-shouldered
person should have a shallow pillow,
the broad-shouldered a thick one. The
ideal pillow is one that maintains the
upper links of the backbone on q true
horizontal line. There must be no sag.
ging down or jamming upward OF the
head, for bending OF the neck either
down or up means that the links Of the
backbone, which are connected with
each other like string of spools, are
huddled too close on one side and
stretched too far apart on the opposite
side. When the spine is thus jammed
the nerves that control the circulation
of the blood in the brain become con.
gested, and the result is an interfer.
ence with the circulation that causes
pain or irritation and makes sleep i'm
possible.
Keep the spine straight by having
a pillow that keeps the neck straight

home without a trainIoad of well sea
soned troops. On arrival at the city
to be honored by his inspection, these
military supporters are first placed
at strategic points with rifles and ma
chine gune, as a timely safeguard
against unforeseen accidents" AS
Chang Tso Lin has his own arsenal,
where he manufactures his own guns
up to the 10-inch size, with ammuni-
ton, there is no lack of material along
the line of march.
He has absolutely no patience with
failure, and, having outlined his plans
to his advisers, considers the matter
closed. If these officials are unable to
make good they are in bad way, as
it is said that Chang would just as
soon have a few dead generals around
the camp any day as a number unable
to carry out his commands.
4 GAIN and again in the history of
China, the Northerners have been
able to defeat the Southerners, and
though the former We're usually busy
with private feuds of their own the
greater part of the time, they gladly
buried the hatchet long enough to
sail down on the men from Canton as
one army. Curiously enough, in all
the thousands Of years that have
passed. this rule has never been re-
versed, and many wise students of
affairs in the Far East have been
watching for a repetition of this par
ticular form of Chinese history as a
solution of the present problem.
Chang Tsung Chang is said by re-
liable informants to be what is known
as the oath Brother" of Chang Tso
Lin, and it is stated that he took the
family name of Chang" for this rea-
son. He is an uneducated man, but
one of great personal force and physi-
cal strength. as he is about feet 2
inches tall, and is said to have worked
as a dock laborer for six years at
Nladivostok. 1t was there that he, no
doubt, picked up his present command
of the Russian tongue, which is of
value in controlling his famous troop
OF White Russians" frequently men
toned in late dispatches.
His official title is that of Military
Governor of Shantung," where he has
proved to be one of the most extortion-
ate rulers the province ever had. Prior
to 1925 he had control of Shanghai,
but lost it to Marshal Sun Chang
fang, who was in turn displaced a few
weeks since by the Nationalist armies
Though both WI Pei Flu and Gen.
Feng have fallen into an eclipse for
the moment, they have always had a
fair for publicity. and in fact are two
of the most interesting of all the mill
tary characters in China. WI was
born in the Province of Shantung
where Chang Tsung Chang now rules,
and always rather enjoyed his title of
Lord Of Shantung" which is still his
in theory only. He is not able to re-
turn to this old home since his down
fall. and makes his headquarters at

extends into Hupeh and all that gen
eral area.

Materials purchased by the car

This, too, needs no explanation,
