CHINA REPAIRS
 DAMAGE READY
 FOR NEW WARS
By MORRIS J. HARRIS

1 SHANGHAI, Dec. Chinese DO liticians who fluanted the rebe standard have fled into Shans province leaving the Nanking gov. ernment confronted with the task of repairing the damage caused ty the 1880 civil war.
 The fact that the rebel chief; may be plotting a new conflict fo. next spring forces the nationalist to accomplish within a few months what would ordinarily take several years to complete.
 Much happened to Nanking after General Yen Hsi-Shan, model gov ernor' of Shansi, started early this year the campaign against Chiang Kai-Shek that nearly succeeded Business went to smash for one thing and communism gained such foothold that it's position in some sections is well night impregnable More than a thousand miles oi telegraph and telephone lines must be put back in commission. Rail- roads, bombed and torn up, must be restored to running order and and the tax collecting system is in bad need of shakeup.
 At present the odds are all against another uprising next March but Nanking can not af- ford to be caught unprepared While Yen Hsi-Shan Is not likely to go to war again unless he is forced to, Wang Ching-Wei, an i'm portant factor in most of China $ recent rebellions, has already an- nounced that he hopes to go on fighting
 Dislodging the communists is considerable of an undertaking Central and southern China were overrun by the Reds and their bands grew stronger as the Nation alist forces became weaker through the battles of last summer.
 Theewa in the north compelled Chiang Kai-Shek to withdraw his garrisons from Human, Kwangtung, Wwangsi and Fukien provinces and reports from missionaries and trav- elers in those sections describe a situation that Europeans and Amer jeans can scarcely comprehend.
 Few towns escaped the ferocity

 of the freebooters. Pillage, torture and wholesale slaughter have been rampant and whole villages have been burned, leaving scores oi thousands of Chinese homeless and hopeless.
 One of the most appalling conse- quences of the communistic activi- ties was the loss of crops. The Reds destroyed grain fields, slaughtered or drove away the livestock and completely ruined silk farms. Un- less the government is able to rout the Reds this winter, thousands of fields will not be planted next spring.

Emma Goldman Comes
 Back Into Red Spotlight

] NICE, France, Dec. 9-Emma Goldman, unable to obtain a visa for returning to the United States, has resumed her communistic &C., tivities.
 For more than year she had been residing here in semi-obscur- ity, keeping well out of the spot light in the hope that this course would aid in obtaining a revoca- ton of the United States Govern ments edicts which several years ago banished her and some other rabid reds" to Russia.
 She has been the recipient of numerous invitations to atte n d meetings of local communists but had steadily declined them. Then

DENVER, Col.-When each Sum- day pretty young woman sits with bowed head in the Grace Methodist Episcopal Church of Denver, she will be serving part of her sentence as a bootlegger. Church or prison that was the decision that recently confronted Miss Esther Watson, 22- year-old bootlegger in the court of United States District Judge J.. Foster Symes. She was sentenced to attend church every Sunday for two years or go to jail. She chose the former, not only because it was lighter, but because she believed that it would do her the most good. Her lawyer confirmed his clients judgment.
 The difficulty of obtaining a minister who would have her as a member of his congregation was apparent. Not that every Denver clergyman was not willing to help the girl It was merely because of the netoriety that the presence of the fair sinner might cause. It was thought that curiosity would bring throngs of undesirables to the church. It took a week to make the arrangements, and the Rev, A. A. Heist agreed to take a chance. His attitude is Let him among you who is without sin cast the first stone" It remains to be seen just how the congregation will well come the new member in their midst and whether there will be an increase in the number of men at tending Sunday services to view the fair moral of the minister's sermon.
 The sentence is as dramatic as the culprit and the case. Miss Marston had pleaded guilty and asked the mercy of the court. She had been arrested twice previously and had managed to free herself on technicality. But selling five

 Prices on Rare Stamps

LONDON, Dec. 9.-New stamp catalogues here snow considerable appreciation in value of some of the scarcer items.
 Continuing to head the list in scarcity, and in increase of prices over last year are the classic is- sues of the British empire between 1840 and 1870.
 Airplane stamps, as a class, show swift rises in the new list ings. The Hawker stamp of New foundland, which sold few years ago at $50, is quoted this year at S1,500 The "DePinedo" stamp of the same dominion is listed at S750.
 Similar advance is shown in the 24c. American airmail stamp, mis- printed with the center inverted" which has jumped in price from S850 to $2,500.

to her that she was to report to the minister weekly where and how she had lived the rest of the week Then Esther sprung a question. She wanted to know what she should be good on, with no career and no means of earning living. And so, after conferences and meetings a job was found, not by the minis ter, but by the lawyer. He had To- cated store willing to employ the recalcitrant Esther and she will have to work hard to earn her small salary. Which will be the punishment the two years of hard work or the church sentence to a girl who might have served 90 days and then gone back to luxury?

 ID PLANT GROWTH
German Scientist Treats Seeds
 With Short Waves

Zehlendorf, Germany, May 2S. CT Speeding up growth of plants and improving taste and texture of table vegetables is the latest accomplish ment claimed for radio.
 Growth has been expedited 200 per cent by treating seeds with short radio waves of 1-2 millimeter before planting. according to Dr. Fritz Hildebrand, German biologist and physicist.
 It was found, he says. that the seeds of plants bearing fruit aboTe the ground, such as tomatoes, re- quired shorter wave lengths 10 hasten their growth than the seeds Of plants with fruit within the soil, as radishes.
 Tomatoes, cabbage, radishes, kohlrabi, and melons, the seeds of which had been subjected to this process. were found to grow about three times as quickly as ordinarily.
 To make sure Of the success Of these experiments, Dr. Hildebran3 told the Associated Press, the treated seeds were placed in the poorest kind of soil uninfproyed by fertilizers Of any kind.
 The flavor of the vegetables IS also improved by this treatment. They are sweeter and their watery ingredients diminished, he said. These results are attained by subjecting the seeds before plant ing to short waves Of high ire 1 quency generated according to 3 special theory Of Dr Hildebrand for which he has applied for a patent - which are possessed Of 2 ! great energy and capable of ma,e- rially raising the vitality of all H. ing cells.
