Old comic pieces as loosely con-

ing their reliance very largely, as in
this case, on the sprightly charm of
an exceedingly attractive young
woman. But such successes had the
benefit of cast of funmakers whose
approximations approached with
delicate nearness to legitimate art
and who could toss in a song and a
little discreet dancing in an offhand
way that gave the performance all
the air of lightsome frolic through
the realms of fancy.

ARM0RED TRAINS
 IN TUG.0F.WAR
Chinese Military Machines in
 Novel Engagement

Pekins. May 2l. (UP)-A loco m otive duel in which "the best en- zine won" and received an armored train as its prize!
 This is the engaging modern novelty instroduced into Chinese warfare by contending factions in Honan province. according to the tale brought to Picking by officials of the Ankuochun. Marshal Chang Tso-lin's united Northern force.
 It all happened on the fighting front near Chengchow. where a Cantonese armored train had been making daily expeditions up and down the Peking- g-Hankow main track and harassing the Northern CTS with its Krupp gun. The Northerns had a train, too, but it was under repair in the Chengchow yards.
 One misty morning, without the knowledge of the Southerners, the Ankuochun train was made ready and 1t started slowly backing down toward the Southern lines with &n- tent to give them a dose Of three inch field guns. It chanced that at rhe same moment the Southerners decided this would be a fine morn ing to "straff" the Northerners ing their train northward.
 Because of the mist, neither party saw the other until the trains were almost together. They were travel ing slowly, and the rear-end bump each received was just enough to link the two together through con- tact with the American style auto matic couplors with which each rear car was equipped.
 Both engineers decided to depart for home. They opened their throt- ties, but nothing happened. The trains were locked together.
 General Kao, in the Southern train, ordered his Krupp into action. It could not be lowered enough. and it's shells screamed out over the Northern train and did no damage.
 The Northern commander recip- ,ocated with his three-inchers. One shell struck the enemy Krupp. the rext passed through the whole Southern train and damaged the engine, and another exploded in the Southern headquarters car, killing the commander and thirty other men and wounding twenty more. Another forty subsequently, surren- dered.
 Meanwhile the Northern locomo- tive, apparently in better shape and undamaged by shellfire, got the upper hand and began to drag both trains northward. Within few minutes the victory was complete.
 The captured Cantonese train consisted of two supply cars. An armored car used as headquarters, and three other armored cars, as we'll as the armored locomotive. The Northern train was captured from Teng Yu-hsiang when he re- 'reated from Nankow pass last summer and 1t consisted of five armorcd cars.
