LES SAINTES MARJES, France
Modern civilization is sitting the
gypsies of Europe.
Only one full-blooded tribe was pres
ent at the racent festival of Black
Sarah, the annual fete of the gypsies
which has drawn them from all over
Europe for 200 years. The necessity
Of obtaining passports, increasingly
careful surveillance of the European
frontiers, and the steady decline of
horse trading and selling makes the
wandering Of the gypsy tribes more
difficult each year.
Despite the sparse sprinkling of
-blooded gypsies at the fete of
Black Sarah the gypsy queen was
elected as usual with the secret rites
which have mystified Europe for so
long in the crypt of the Roman
basilica which dates from the twelfth
century. The ceremony is supposed
to take place over the casket which
legend says contains the bones OF
Black Sarah, the gypsy servant of
the holy family, who lived and died
in the services of the saints Marie
Salome and Marie Jacobe, for whom
this town. is named.

Rare Japanese Goldfish and Fancy Carp
Are on Display In Bureau Of Fisheries

The japanese gift fish are from the
famous center of carp culture, the viii
lage of Yamakoshomura. They are
patterned in delicate red, black, gold,
silver and opalescent colorings and
have long, .f1uttering fins, a mark of
great beauty in goldfish circles.
The striking feature, noted in many
Of the. specimens, is the prominence
Of the eyes, which are huge and bulg-
ing, like those of bullfrog. This trait
is developed by the Japanese growers
by keeping the fish in tanks with only
two small holes admitting light. The
fish strain the muscles of the eye
turning and seeking the light, and this
exercise develops the bullying effect
so admired by japanese connoisseurs.

Justify higher sidewalks, say the

Commission. They think many side
walks and the safety islands are so
low as to be TOO easily climbed by
excitable automobile drivers.
The commission delved into rec
ords and found that the sidewalks
and pedestrian refuges-called in
French fool protectors'-were made
low in days when women's skirts
dragged the ground. Now that skirts
are higher there seems to be no rea-
son why women can't step a few
inches higher.

90 Per Cent IIIiterate

Men who go to China to study
the civilization realize that the
Chinese are a wonderful people.
1t is puzzling to understand the
cause for the downfall of that civil
lization and the present condi-
lions. Exploitation may explain
the whole affair. OF the 4OO, 1000
600 population, 80 per cent are il
literate.
Foreigners go there to make
money and not to help the Chi
nese people. The British want to
take over the nation and operate
it for their W good, which would
seem to be the only solution to
the terrible conditions. But that
would create jealousy on the part
of the other ntaions.
"The United States must stop
sending office boys into the con-
sular service, but rather trained
economists, educators and the abb
est men we can obtain. America
must promote liberal development
of the Chinese people, must intro
duce modern education methods,
and advance Christianity which is
the only solution to the problem
facing that nation at the present
line.
I'VE must not lose sight of the
act that China, Japan and the
philippines are to provide a mar
let for our over-production in ag-
iculture. This should be reason
for America to stress
very effort to promote the devel-
pment and welfare of those ma
