CHINESE BANDITS
SEIZE i. S. WOMAN
Captured With Two Swedish
Observation-Disclosures
Is RanSomed.
BY Cable to The Star.

BY Gable to The Star.
SHANGHAI, China, April 20-An-
other American missionary, Miss Ester
Norlund, and two Swedish missionaries,
one a woman, have been captured by
bandits so miles from Ichang, in the
upper Yangtse River region, according
to word received from Hankow. All
are connected with the Covenant Mis-
sionary Society.
Their capture comes on the heels of
the release of Rev. Kristofer Tvedt,
Norwegian, who. returned to Hankow
with Daniel Nelson from the bandit
camp in Hupeh Province, where the
latter's brother, Rev. Bert N. Nelson,
is q prisoner. Although 10000 local
dollars ransom money has been paid
for the freedom of Rev. Mr. Nelson, he
his brother states that the negotiations
are proceeding according to schedule
and expresses no anxiety as to his re-
lease. He left Hankow this morning to
return to the bandit camp.
Priest Dies of Exposure.
With this information comes word
that British Catholic priest, held by
bandits south of Nanchang, capital of
Kiangsi, Communist-ridden province
died as a result of exposures while still
a captive.
Rev. Mr. Tvedt was greeted upon his
arrival at Hankow by his wife and six
children. He was captured with Rev.
Mr.. Nelson six and half months ago.
Much futile diplomatic correspondence
followed, at the same time the China
government pressed the powers for i'm
mediate abolition of treaties containing
clauses protecting foreign lives through
out the country.
Indignation Expressed.
High indignation has been expressed
in the American community over the
inaction of the Marking government.
The Evening Post, leading American
newspaper in China, prints an open
letter today to Secretary of State Henry
L. StimSon declaring that continued
friendly negotiations between the United
States and China are a national dis
grace in view of the fact that no effec-
tive effort was made by Marking to ex-
terminate the brigands who for over
six months held an American citizen
while repeated official and private pro-
tests were entirely ignored.
The Post concludes In view of the
obvious indifference of National China
to the solemn obligations of a govern
ment to afford protection to foreign
and native lives, it becomes no less
than a national scandal for the United
States to treat with the National gov
eminent of China as though it were
in fact a government capable and
willing to exercise its powers and re-
Sponsibilities. To continue to do so
will be an admission that the gov
eminent of the United States also holds
the lives of its citizens cheaply and
regards the obligations of government
lightly"

Problems AIIeviated.

Problems AIEeviated.
Moreover, the standards OF social
welfare work are now based upon
standard of living unheard of no further
back than the panic of 1893. AS bad as
unemployment has been this Winter the
problems it presented have been
alleviated by social welfare agencies and
governmental agencies in way that
has kept distress far above the starya-
ton level that used to obtain. And this
could not have been done without the
margins of prosperity accumulated
under our industrial system. I do not
say that we have accomplished a good
result, for my hope of the future is as
high as yours and do not believe that
the word good can be associated with
the present unemployment situation,
but do want to say that 1t Is both in
objective and accomplishment better
than the past; and. further, that our
social point of view and industrial
ability has in 1t the elements to con-
tinue to improve, not only in alleviating
distress when it comes. but in mitigat-
ing its severity and frequency OF oc-
currence. Out of the money panic of
1907 we learned enough TO organize our
nnances better. Out of this we VIII
learn likewise, but the processes of
prevention can not start until the period
OF distress Is over. The study OF sick
ness leads TO the prevention of disease,
but while the patient is sick it is the
doctors first job to get him well with
the best knowledge then available.
From that experience comes the hope
OF better curative knowledge for the
future and likewise the spur to prevent
i've measures.
Il have tried to make clear my belief
in few simple propositions:
Il. That the path Of progress Is an
evolution from our present situation.
2. That the democratic method fol-
lowed in America not only provides
ADLER and more effective though less
spectacular leadership than any other,
but also far more ability for attain
ment amongst the public generally; and
3. That democracy provides a far
higher economic, social and spiritual
objective than any other form of society.
Has No Fears for Future.
II believe in the common sense and
ability Of the American people and
have, therefore, no fears of the present
or the future. The immediate present,
the statisticians Of the telephone COM
pany tell me, shows signs Of improve
ment. How fast that improvement will
be measured in weeks or months don't

lips may be daintily shaped, but there

Then there are lips that have become
thinner with the passing years. There
may be little Fuckers around them,
too, and q dropping tendency at the
corners.
Lip massage may be had at any beauty
shop. but very few Of them give special
attention to 1t. Since the materials
needed for one Of these treatments are
few and simple. milady can easily be

concerned. A tissue cream or oil is re-
quired to lubricate the massage. Some
prefer muscle oil, which has astringent
properties as well as being oily. There

Three Lengths of Ribbon in Scarf
BY MARY MARSHALL.

with evening dresses and colorful silk
scarfs to add the needed toucr or color
to dark dresses.
One of the most interesting of the
new scarfs we are showing today. 1t is
made of three lengths of three-inch
ribbon sewed together. For a scarf OF
the length shown here you will need
three and one-half feet of ribbon for
each of the three strips. but you may
want your scarf a little shorter or
longer The ribbons are Tapped slightly
and stitched together. The ribbon at
one edge side laps over the center rib
bon and the center ribbon laps over the
ribbon at the other side. The finished
scarf is just a little less than nine
inches wide. GroSgrain ribbon was
chosen for the scarf we examined but
any substantial sort of ribbon might be
chosen. You NAV use three tones of
the same color, three different colors,
or you may have the center strip of
one color with the ribbons at the sides
of contrasting color. The ends of the
ribbon are turned in a narrow hem
and stitched down.
To wear with a white suit or coat
nothing could be smarter than a scarf
of this sort made of red, white and
blue ribbon-white in the center with
red on one side and blue on the other,
Brown, yellow and white also makes a
smart combination to go with white
costume worn with yellow and brown
accessories or with brown suit.

FOOD PROBLEMS
New Implements.
BY SALLY MONROE.

Cooking. like any other work. may be-
come monotonous. A good way to keep
it from monotony Is to invest OCCASION
ally in new implements. They needn't
cost much, but they give variety and
additional interest to the work.
One such little device makes curls
Of potato which may then be French
fried Or curls of other vegetables, such
as carrots, which may then be boiled
and served most attractively with but
ter. The remaining carrot or potato
may be used for soup, for a scalloped
dish or in some other way.
A tiny chopping bowl in which par
sley, nuts and other foods in small guam
tity can be chopped is another great
help-much easier to use than a big
chopping bowl or grinder. There are
also little rotary knives that may be
used TO mince vegetables. They just
run back and forth across a board on
which the vegetable is spread.
There are devices to make crisS-
edges to sliced cucumbers, there are
some to make lattice potatoes and others
to cut tiny balls from potatoes-for fry
ing-or from melons-for fruit cup.

King Eagle Loses Dignity.
Who loses dignity also
Will find respectfulneSs doth go.
Mother West Wind.

Mrs. Fleetfoot's keen eyes had taken
note of King Eagle circling high over
head. and she knew that he knew what
was going on. But as long as she had
the two Coyotes to fight she gave no
thought to King Eagle. Afterward she
remembered him.
"Oh. dear" said she. "It is bad
enough to have to watch for enemies
on the ground without having to watch
for them in the air as well. However, I
expected King Eagle would discover
that have babies. Not much escapes
those keen eyes OF his, and he has such
an advantage, looking down from way
up in the sky, that it is hard to keep
anything from him. However. he was
as badly fooled as those Coyotes. If I
can keep them all fooled another day
my darlings will be strong enough to
travel little and then we will move
away from here In a week or so more
they will be too big and strong to be
of interest to King Eagle. He'll be sure
to be back here the first thing in the
morning"
So very early before daylight, she
fed the babies and left them, warning
