 A 1,50O-ton reinforced concrete anchor, resting on the ocean bed has been designed to keep each seadrome in place and allow it to swing for facing always into the wind.
 Armstrong plans to station the first seadrome $50 nautical miles southeast of New York in the gulf stream just below the fog and storm belt.
 He estimated it will cost $4.000,- GOO when anchored. Until further links in the chain are built, it is planned to serve as an interme- diate stop on an air route to Der muda and as a mid-ocean resort
 To shorten the course between the United States and Europe, he has changed plans employing the Azores as one stop and projected in place an all-seadrome route par alleling the winter steamship track

 Mongolia and Tibet spurned a central government which could not stop these encroachments on Chinese territory and became semi independent.
 Manchuria A Japanese Zone
 Manchuria, sphere of Russian influence up to 1904, became large ly a Japanese zone when the isl- and empires troops defeated the Czar's soldiery.
 The overthrow of the Manchu dynasty in 1912 and the establish ment of a republic evolved into civil wars during which Manchuria became practically autonomous.
 Japan claims to have invested more than $1 100000, 900 there in developing industry.
 It was Markings alleged inabil- ity to control conditions in Man churia sufficiently to safeguard Japanese life and property which started the armed intervention which since September 18 has re- suited in clashes in many parts of Manchuria.

 Leaders for Debate

WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. B. Washington political circles are in an uproar over recent developments in the wet and dry fight which seems to assure an early vote on Prohibition in Congress. A rule submitted by Bertrand H. Shell of New York, Republican nominee for Speaker and Chairman of the Rules Committee of the last House, which met with approval of the Republican Conference provides that 145 members of the House might bring a question to a vote. It is regarded as certain that the Democratic majority will accept the rule. That would enable the vets to force vote on Prohibition, and it has become clear that it is their purpose to do so.
 Representative Henry T. Rainey of Illinois. prospective Democratic leader, and Representative Bert rand H. Shell of New York, Re- publican Speaker nominee, said the new House will face the Prohibition issue directly.
 The vets have designated Rep- resentatives J. Charles Linthicum, Democrat, of Maryland, and James M. Beck, Republican of Pennsyl- vania, leaders of the wet bloc, and both declare that the new House will face the Prohibition issues di- rectly. Linthicum declares there are at least 150 votes for the repeal of the Eighteenth Amendment in the present House-the largest number

NEW YORK, Dec. 3-Manchuria is to Asia what the Balkan States have been to Europe.
 Just as the weakness of crum- bling Turkey involved Europe in many wars over the territory in Europe which Turkey could not hold, SO Asia has been embroiled in struggle for the rich territory backward China could not develop and police.
 European powers started the scramble and Japan joined in after it had developed navy and army along western lines.
 China's present acute embroil- ment with Japan in Manchuria which the League of Nations is at tempting to straighten out, and the manifestation of Soviet Russia s great uneasiness over Japanese as- pirations concerning the territory Czar Nicholas sought to dominate are no novelty to students of the Pacific problem.
 China's Riches A Curse
 Dr. Wu Ting-Fang, who was Chinese minister at Washington for many years, always contended that China's great natural riches were a curse rather than a blessing because they invited attacks from enviouS nations.
 That same view has been voiced by Chinese leaders ever since the industrial revolution that began in the west when the eighteenth cen tury forced the developing factories of Europe and America to seek new outlets for their products.
 China was at it's zenith under Chien Lung, celebrated Manchu emperor, who rule from 1736 to 1796. The Chinese had defeated all tribesmen to the north, they held undisputed suzeranity over Korea and their possessions of Manchuria and Mongolia were undisputed.
 Seek To Break Trade Barriers
 China's contempt for anything originating with foreign devils" held the occidental traders in check, but the British, Dutch and Portuguese persisted in their ef- fort to break down the trade re- strictions.
 The first open clash came in 1889 when China seized all the opium stocks of foreign merchants in Canton, the only open port of the country. England went to war and for five years alternately attacked and negotiated.
 The net result was that China gave Great Britain the ilsnad of Hongkong. Shanghai, Annoy and other southern ports were opened to trade and China pledged itself to cease prosecuting missionaries.
 Rebellions Grow
 The United States sent Caleb Gushing to Picking and he obtained similar rights for America. France and other powers were given like concessions later and China's mod ernization begain in large way.
 RebellNons and revolutions be- came more frequent and the Chi nese governments influence weak aned.

a business or profession in ad- dition to their college education both to make up for their reduced chances in the marriage mart and to compete with less learned wo- men.
 Tt is evident that the range of occupations upon which these college women have entered is very restricted" Dr. Anderson con- ments. More than half have fol- lowed the beaten path and aligned themselves with the clerical occu- pations. Jobs in manufacturing and domestic and personnel service are not considered by college grad uates."

Tn addition he said, a million and half to two million persons live on the fruits of crimes of all sorts. They have lost their golden oppor- tunities with the depression, he re- marked.
 "A peculiar thing about this de- pression is that it is largely caused by fashion" said Hawley. Fashion and the doctors said that the peo- pie should wear little clothing. They even took the stockings off the children"

Probably nowhere else in this country

side of the street TO another and who
apparently have no consideration for
other drivers. That is why Washington

Bishop OF Washington.

that forsook Him in His hour Of need
share in the shame Of this monumental
tragedy. Pilates name is immortalized
as no other name has ever been, but 1t
is the immortality of shame that is his.
Daily, around the world, where mil
lions confess their faith. they recite the
direful words, "Crucif1ed under Pontius
Plate" We know Of no like instance
in the recorded history of mankind.
Little is known of the subsequent ca
reer of this human monster and little
needs TO be known He has fame that
is sinister and shadowy.
There are those today, as there have
been through 20 centuries of time, who
seek to absolve themselves from all
blame by evading recognition and ac-
acknowledgement of this Supreme Master.
With cold indifference and with no de-
sire to recognize His sovereignty. they
wash their hands, feeling that such an
act absolves them from all responsibility
concerning Him.
In Remains appealing book 1.-THE Life
of Jesus" he gives Him place among the
hottest and mightiest of the race. He
joins with another concerning Him,
saying. Higher has human thought not
reached" but in the end of his color
full story he leaves Him, the lonely Naz-
arene, whose sad and tragic life con-
stitutes one of the most extraordinary
and commanding incidents In the his
tory of Uankind.
The question as to our attitude toward
the Master and the place we accord
Him in history, as well as in our own
lives, is one that persists in spite of all
our unwillingness to consider 1t. What
we think about other notable characters
in history may be of small concern to
them or to us, but what we think of the
Man of Nazareth and His high claims
does nightly affect our whole outlook
upon life. Some one said to me re-
Gently, Il have no religion or religious
belief; have never felt compelled to
make a decision in the matter" Such
negative attitude proves wholly I'M
satisfactory in the end. To dismiss a
serious consideration of the claims of
Jesus or TO wash ones hands of Him
leaves unanswered the greatest uues-
ton ever submitted to mankind. Pr
lates final question, like Banquo's
ghost will not down: What, then. shall
/ do, with Jesus that Is called Christie"
