One day he said to his father:

Son, you should write about ad

The parent. who wished for his son
4 great success and place in the
Hall of Fame, gave his entire time to
thes education of the offspring
The boy was taken all over the
world to get tirst-hand information
regarding every sort of land and
every kind of people. He was shown
everything that had to do with adven.
ture. He was taken to Iceland and
to the South Sea islands so that he
would know every cline and every
country.
He was taken across plains and
deserts and ranges of mountains He
was taught, from actual experience
about typhoons and hurricanes and
cyclones. His education was lacking
in nothing that would form ground
work for wonderful stories of the adj
ventures of men under the most try

And so it came to pass that the son

done for him. out of the proceeds OF

A coal mine at Bruceton, Pa,
near Pittsburgh. has been the
scene of 100 coal dust explosions

The explosions, however, saved
the lives Of thousands Of coal
miners and a vast amount Of
property. The Bruceton oper-

of Mines, the only coal mine in
the world used exclusively for
scientific experimentation.
The blasts were real. but they

Severe Blow to New

PEKIN, Oct. 12.-Setbacks suf-
ferred by the cause of nationalism
in China are apt to have a profound
effect upon the youthful mind Of
the country, in the view of promi-
nent foreign educator here.
This man has had years OF ex-
perience in teaching young Chinese,
and he possesses an understanding
and sympathetic appreciation OF
their strong and their weak points.
knowing much of the idealism
which has inspired young China
during recent years he feels appre-
hension concerning the results OF
any severe blow to this idealism.
Attitude Is Cynical
"It is altogether too easy to be-
come discouraged concerning the
outlook for China" he said. 1.-THE
usual psychology here is cynical.
Yet the Nationalist movement has
brought out undreamed-of idealism
on the part of Chinese students all
over China.
"Now certain setbacks are ap-
pearing, after months of steady and
comparatively united effort which
seemed due to reach an early vic
tory. I am afraid that if the Ma
tionalists allow personal jealousies
and differences to split their move
ment it is going to be hard and
diScouraging blow to the youth of
the land"
Such events as the departure from
Hankow of Nine. Sun Yat-Sen and
the continued chickering's and nego-
tiations of various factional leaders
among the Nationalist are regard
ed with alarm of many northern
Nationalist sympathizers who had
hoped that north China would be
speedily captured by the National
list armies.
Deplore Borodin's Loss
Said another foreigner, not in the
educational work, but for some
time a close observer of Chinese
students:
"The young Chinese are enthu-
siastic one moment and deeply dis
heartened the next. Occasionally
one finds more steady and re-
liable sort, but for the most part
they are of such character that
disappointment hits them very hard.
Moreover, it must be considered
as fact-though from all points of
view an unfortunate fact-that Bo-
robin, the Soviet high adviser, was
pushed into position of prom
inence which he himself probably
did not desire This position he
filled simply because the young
Chinese of the Nationalt movement
were not so resourceful as he. So,
