HOWEWARD IN DISGRACE

Departure Of Ying Kao and his wife for China draws
the veil, far the United States is concerned, on
most dsagreeable incident, which arose when Mrs.
Ying Kao discovered betraying the honor of her
country and abusing the courtesy of the United States
by bringing in a quantity of opium at San Francisco
under the protection of government permit for free
ing.
The Wings do not face happy welcome in China. On
the contrary there is real danger that they may pay
with their lives for their fooshness. The Nationalist
government hard at work trying to convince the
world that it has at last organized stable govern
ment in China is extremely wrought up the affair
Attempts to modernize China and the Chinese gov
ernment have not succeeded yet in obliteratng the
old Chinese for the sacredness Of honor and
the sanctity of ones personal integrity.
The Iings are more to be pitied than celsured.
Their greed inspired them to clutch for q rainbow
which turned out to be nothing but ashes. They may
yet wish they had begged the United States admins
ter punishment to them instead of going back to their
own country. 1t would quite likely be less severe

THE GOVERNOR SPEAKS

Governor Young in his proclamation issued yester-
day relative to the laws governing automobile traf
fc in California, only repeats what newspapers, auto
mobile clubs and all concerned with public welfare,
have declared time and again-that the individual
motorst is the only who aid in cutting down
our present frightful toll Of automobile deaths and
accidents.
Those concerned with enforcement of the law can
only do so much Traffic officers be every
where to see that motorists observe the speed regua
tions; that they make boulevard stops tha their head
lights proper their brakes in good working order
and that they have complied with all the other
qulrements OF the state.
Unless the individual motorist acts just the same
when away from the eye of the traffic officer he
does when the law is watching him. there is little
to hope for any great reduction in accidents The
individual must be educated appreciate the response
bilitv that is his
Tie chief executive asserts that 80 per cent of
and that only per responsible for the terri
BILE death rate We fear the governor is either too great
optimist or is trying to be charitable
One other thing in addition TO educating the ndvid
ua is necessary before hope for an appreciabe
decrease in accidents and that is enforcement of the
laws we have. 1t does good to write laws on the
statute books and not enforce them.
1t will not lessen accidents materially if the traffic
officers spend their time chasing after some fellow
making SO miles hour out a desert road, or who
happens to have loose license plate. The fellow they
want and the fellow the should soak the idiot
klessly where he endare the lives of
others, who operates while intoxicated, who
"cuts in highly congested traffic-n general the
fellow who ignores the law of the and the rights
of others.

ONE OF MANY

Perhaps should be charitable toward that
83 year old woman crusader in Kansas who seeks to
dissuade her sisters from going without stockings by
stopping them the streets and insulting them but it
long without having learned the golden lesson Of
minding ones business and letting others mind
theirs.
The woman of course is fanatic, and fanatics are
wrapped up in particular subject that they
incapable of thinking clearly any subject indeed
the subject of their fanatcism Their single track
minds make them unable to accord others the right 20
think and act they deem best Their ego eXa them to
the point where they alone right and every
else is wrong.
Some years ago when skirts began to travel north
ward toward the waistine there was great hue and
cry from the fanatics; later Of he girls decided
to bob their hair and again there cry women be-
gan smoke again their grandmothers had done be-
fore them and the howl of the righteous became deafen
ing; began to shed their stockings a couple Of
ago and the fanatics Immediately decided those
who did so were immoral.
Today the woman whose sairtg long whose hair
is long, who doesn't smoke and whose stockings are
throughout the year is considerable of an oddy
The decision going stockngless is up TO the ndi-
yiua the same the matter Of bobbing hair skirts
enjoying smoke 1t is only idiot who will say that
the who decides stockings needless discom-
fort in summer is immoral
This SO year old woman can hardly be charged with
being noorety seeker She is pas the age for that or
sh enough to attempt to change the minds of thousands
of others to conform to her
The saddest part OF il is that is only one Of many
young and old, who not satisfied with running their
own affairs lend their puny efforts to attempt
changing something old as the world tself-human

that they had worn out their welcome
1t was then that the two men from
London began to do their visiting by
night.
They came quietly, lantern under
the coat of one, shovel Secreted by
the other Quietly they would dig into
the ground in stable, stalls, barns and
cellars. Before they touched shovel to
earth, however, they would study the
chosen spot by the light of the lantern.
But for weeks they got little for their
labor.
Then one night they looked thought
fully at a pile of litter in broken
down barn of Parker's. They wondered
why litter should be there, litter OF just
that kind, so far from its probable place
of origin. They decided to dig.
They dug for an hour without results.
Suddenly the man who was using the
shovel, while the other held the lantern,
said:
Wait minute!"
1t was really an expression of ex-
element. For the light of his COM
panion's lantern showed a grueSome
object in the Spadeful he had just dug
up.
A little later his shovel encountered
something elsa short butchering
knife, it's blade thickly rusted. The
knife, together with the human hand,
rewarded the labors of the two London
detectives.

not be plain honest mud.
In the poverty-stricken life of the
community the gossip of the state of
affairs between Lawyer Manners and
Edmund Lascelles was eagerly discussed
for the color and drama it afforded.
Even James Crosby knew of it.
Now there lay Edmund Lascelles in
the road. On his face and head was
blood and the marks of a savage beat
| ing, many wounds pointing to an at
tack with fury.
And standing by his side, smeared
with mire and blood, was Lawyer Man
nearS.

shouted. Go and fetch help!"
If Manners had not been so appalled,
! with the vision of what he must con-
vey to Eva he would have noticed a
change in the manner of the farmland

How do you know he's dead?" Crosby
asked with what he thought was well
concealed suspicion
But Manners CURLY sent him Of.
Then he left for the LaScelleS home.

body into the cart when simultaneously
from two newcomers there broke cry.

descended just as Mr.. Lacey emerged
from the debris, with his guitar draped
about his neck. His remarks, although

wright might have envied.

"Bellman," a Game.

Here's game that will provide lot
of fun when played out of doors or on
gym floor:
A ring or square of convenient size Is
roped off by passing rope between
several stakes, posts or trees. All Of
the players have their eyes tightly
blindfolded with the exception Of the
bellman, who has his hands tied be-
hind his back and a small bell hung
about ms neck.
The blind men" then try to eaten
the bellman, being guided by the ring
ing of his bell as he tries to keep out
of their clutches. A clever bellman can
make the game a riot Of fun, leading
the blind men into each others arms
and making them fall over the rope
and one another in their efforts to
catch and hold him.
The blind men can be given o GER
tain length of time to catch the bell
man, losing the game II they fail to, or
the game may be continuous, with q
blind man taking the bellman's place II
he catches him.
