CHINESE OBJECT
 ID ROBBED HAIR
Natives Flo6 Women Who Cut
 Their Locks

Shanghai. AIsil IS UP) The binding of feet by Chinese women is rare in Shanghai but is a common practice in North China, according to the Rev. w. k. Walker. who has spent o5 years in North China and who visited Shanghai recently.
 'Thousands of women and girls Walker told the United Press. Tn fact, instead of dying out the pra- tice seems to be on the increase especially in the villages.
 Tn one large village. of more than 14.000 inhabitants, the only woman in the town with unbound feet is the wife of the evangelist.
 When the Kuominchun were in the North a couple of years ago. many of the children had to unbind their feet, or their parents would be fined. Hundreds of young girls thus unbound their feet but have since bound them again. as no one troubles to enforce the old ruling"
 How about bobbed hair?" Walk CT was asked.
 Tn the villages In my territory I seldom see bobbed hair. In some of the towns it is absolutely for bidden. In Tan-fu, a small town near Tatungfu. a woman of 37 years who bobbei her hair was fiogged publicly by order of the l ma magistrate.
 T have not visited Shanghai in many years and the changes I note among Chinese women here amazes me. Here they bob their hair, use the lipstick freely and openly. puff their cigarettes on the street and unbind their feet Theirs is free dom unknown to the girls of the North"

pose that if it were not for the ire
mendous speculation that we have
witnessed in the market for so long
a time, and the daily discussion Of
banks, loans, reserve banks and re-

rather diminished yields Of high

wouldn't be at all surprised, but that
this view will be emphasized by the

follow favorable trade news should
be utilized by longs for reducing
their lines because there can be no

commitments is highly desirable and
sooner or later must follow. An

counted upon to give us the two
