FROM MRS. RALPH RAHM, 81
North Belle Vieu place:
WHEN life loses color and the
w appetite is blunted from
feeding on dainties, it is time to
take a vacation with Mother Nature.
It is time to turn to her and the
simple satisfying things of blithe
and hearty living.
"CHH and trail. oar and sail, clouds
above a height;
Beans and bacon, bIisters achin',
oampires cleaning bright"
These, and not the appurtenances
of civilization, are the things I most
enjoy for absolute rest of mind and
body.
FROM MRS. WILEY c. DOR
SETT, Danville, Ind:
A LONG ride brings you to the
IN Michigan boundary line. You
see caution signs reading, Deer on
roadway at night"
You start back to the northern
peninsula of Michigan. The going
gets rough; you leave the car. Your
guide takes you in g woods" Ford
Underbrush is heavy. You leave
the car carrying your packs and
reach camp. 1t is cold enough for
heavy coats. Presently you see a
deer and, perhaps, a cub bear. There
are miles and miles of lakes around
you and fish everywhere. At night
you swap stories around a glowing
campfire. The day ends. This is
my ideal vacation.

TIENTSIN China, July 30
Trade in Tientsin. principal port
for a great area IL north China.
has been all but obliterated by the
war between the coalitiqp~of north
ern railitarists headed By Marshals
Yen Shi-Shen and Feng Yu-hsiang,
and the national government in
Marking.
Many business firms already have
closed their doors. The China rug
industry, for which Tientsin and
= Peiping are famous. has been Grip
pied.
The export trade from Mongolia,
the bulk of which ordinarily passes
through Tientsin, has all but
stopped because of the Mongol
embargo on shipments into or
through Chinese territory, sale to
be institgated by Soviet Russia.
Used TO Hard Times
Tientsin has been through hard
times before, however, and pos
sesses that capacity for rapid re
cuperation noticeable in every Chi
nese trade mart.
The Chinese have flair for trade
unexcelled by any people, and will
continue to do business with guns
roaring at the very doors OF their
shops.
The Mongol embargo, combined
with the irresponsible taxation set
up by subordinates of Marshal Yen,
has been the hardest blow to TENT
sins trade.
In some cases a representative OF
the United States department of
commerce here said, merchants are
finding it advisable to transport
cargo from the Monaghan border
line nearly all the way to Tentsin
by camel train, rather than by rail.
Tax Stations Set Up
Commerce literally has gone back
to the days of Kublia Khan. The
reason is simple. Tax stations are
set up by each military commander
at railway stations in the areas he
controls and the taxes are levied as
cargo passes through.
Military occupation, however,
largely is confined to the railway
zones and shippers. by employing
camel trains. keep their goods in
land. away from railways. until they
come to the head of navigation on
the river system. which converges at
Tientsin.
Once a shipment reaches river
it can be loaded on junks in charge
of Chinese agents who are expert at
bargaining in event the junks en-
counter tax stations along the river.
Bargains for Cut
An agent often will hold his junk
a week or more at a tax station
while he bargains for a reduction
in the tax. If lucky he may run
past the tax stations without de-
lection at night.
American trade has suffered
greatly from this situation, for the
United States is a big buyer of north
China and Mongolian products.
wool. hides. skins and furS. sausage
castings. bristles and manufactured
goods. The Chinese producers have
suffered more. of course. Many Of
them literally have been taxed out
of existence.
It would be a mistake, however,
to picture north China as a Starv-
ing land. Millions have died. it is
rue, in some areas-notably Shensi
nd Kansu provinces-but the very
tragedy has relieved the situation
by leaving fewer mouths to feed.

Death Ended Argument

An awesome debate between two
Basuto witch doctors recently ended
sensationally at Teyateyaneng, North
Basutoland. The witch doctors were
arguing about their powers before q
great crowd Of natives, and the elder
Of the two stated with considerable
emphasis that the other was "only q
boy" and could not possibly have the
powers which he himself claimed to
have. He added that If he (the elder)
willed that the other should die, he
would The younger man took up
the challenge and the older one point
ed at him with a stick and said SOL
EMMY, "You will die" The young man
then rose to his feet, staggered and
fell against some barbed wire and
Immediately expired. The other witch
doctor was placed under arrest. but
was released after the post norton
examination which showed death to
be due to a structure.

Ruins Of Clonmacnoise
Venerated by Irishmen

Conmacnoise occupies delightful
spot on a series Of small eminences
upon the banks Of the River Shannon.
Only small part of the great abbey
building Is still traceable, but there
are numerous ruins Of churches and
other structures once connected with
it, some of them far off In the sur
rounding valleys.
The principal ruin is that Of the
great abbey church and cathedral,
built in 900 by Abbot Colman Conaill-
ech, with the assistance of King Flann
Sinna, son of Malachy I, in whose
honor the abbot erected before the
entrance great stone cross with
Irish inscriptions and sculptures rep
resenting Biblical scenes, which have
given it it's name Of na-Scraptra,
"Cross Of the Scriptures"
Near it are two round towers which
answered the combined purpose Of bel
fries in time Of peace and places Of
refuge and defense when danger
threatened.
In the Thirteenth and Fourteenth
centuries this church was rebuilt by
Tomultech MacDermott, and is now
known as the Teampul MacDermott.
The last of the Irish kings, Roderick
O'Connor, lies near its altar with his
father Turlough.
Clonmacnoise is still the favorite
burial place Of Ireland, and many hun
dreds Of faithful are laid to rest every
year in the sacred dust upon which

pork, brown sugar and molasses
and need only a minute to heat;
fruits already mixed for salads

Caravans cannot be hurried, for

Cotton, a staple article for clothing
long before the use of artificial silk
crowded it into the background, is
now coming back into its own. To
day the well-dressed woman win find
cotton in many shades and textures
for her new spring wardrobe.
Cotton is also used extensively in
many industries.
The worlds largest manufacturers
OF telephone supplies - the Western
Electric Company, now uses over
100000 pounds of cotton annually
to insulate the wires, cables and cords
that are necessary part of telephone
equipment.
Cotton thread Ia used to cover al
most all the wires used in the tele-
phone system in general. Its tough
ness protects the wire and it insu-
lates one wire from another, thus pre-
venting the electric current that
keeps the voice from wandering off
the wire pathway and being lost.
One particularly interesting use Of
cotton thread in telephone systems
10 in the cords connecting the tele-
phones in the home and office. These
cords are bent and twisted many
times, and since bending breaks
copper wire, fat ribbons Of copper
no thicker than q hair are wound
spirally around cotton thread. This
produces a species of tinsel that,
like spring, can be bent many times,
without breaking. In this way cot
ton threads give strength to copper
wires.
Before cotton can be used as insu-
lating material in telephone equip
ment it must be given special treat
ment. This includes purifying and
dyeing, because various colors are
necessary to make the wires distin-
guishable. After dyeing, the cotton

made fame-proof in order to reduce
the risk Of fire in central Offices.
Cotton used in telephone switch
board cords is also put through a
glazing process which is similar to
that Of starching and ironing done in
the domestic household or laundry,
with this distinction, however, one is
done mainly to improve the appear

to speak: whereas the starching or
glazing done by the Western Electric
Company is primarily to increase the

Cotton has not always played so
important part in the worlds COM
MERGE. The story of Eli Whitney and
the invention of the cotton gin ia
miliar to most people, form the last
chapter in a tale which started with
one John Kay in 1888. This English
man invented flying shuttle which
enabled the weavers to turn out goods
so fast the spinners could not easily
keep up with them. For thirty-seven
years the spinners struggled to sup
ply the weavers. Then Hargreaves,
another Englishman, invented the
spinning Jenny. !
This made the race even. The mills
could furnish to the trade all the cot
ton goods it wanted. With this great
er production the price Of cotton
goods dropped to a place where others
than the very wealthy could buy.
If the mills could get all the raw cot
ton they needed, cotton goods would
be cheap enough for the common peo-
pie to use. But there was the hitch
the cotton growers could not supply
the mills with enough bales Of raw
cotton.
Eli Whitney solved this problem in
1898 by fnventing the cotton gin
which separates the lint from the
seed. Under old methods one man
would have to work two days to pro-
duce one bale Of cotton. Now a cot
ton gin produces fifteen bales in q
day. 1pl ts~t -
