SHANGHAI THREE CITIES IN ONE.
WITH NATIVE SECTION DIVIDED
America Among 20 Nations, Including
Japan, Having Trade and Extra
territorial Rig hts.

Reports that Japanese troops have
entered Shanghai raise the question
among those who know the Chinese
metropolis - which Shanghai? The
largest city of China is in three divi-
sions - the Native City, the Interna-
tional Settlement and the French Con-
cession. each separately governed. The
Native City is further subdivided into
three parts, each some distance from
the other - Chapel, Nantao and the
Borough of Footung, the latter across
the Hwangpu River.
"Changhai was one of the first Chi
nese cities to be opened to Western
trade. one of five treaty ports estab-
lished in 1912" says a bulletin from
the National Geographic Society
British merchants who moved in dur
ing the next few years obtained con-
cession to manage municipal affairs in
their settlement.
Like Foreign Concessions.
French and American residents
Joined in the arrangements, but later
the French set up a municipality Of
their own which is maintained sepa-
rately today. Residents Of other ma
tionalities have thrown in their lot
with the British and Americans, and
today about 90 nations including the
japanese, have trade and eXtraterrl-
torial rights in Shanghai.
The entire urban grOup-Chlnese,
international, and French-that bears
the name Shanghai has an estimated
population of 1.540,000 BY far the
larger part is Chinese. but the c0nCen-
tration is not greatest in the narrow
streeted native sections. So well have
The foreigners governed their conces-
sionS that Chinese have flOcked TO these
parts. The International City is eSpe-
cially a favorite residence for retired
Chinese officials from other parts of the
country.
Shanghai Is lear the mouth Of the
Yangtze River, China's great natural
water highway, md close to the Grand
Canal. Around it for many miles
stretches the province of Kiangsu, the
most densely populated political unit IN
the world This strategic situation has
made the city a great commercial en-
porium and it has become as we'll one of
the greatest Chinese industrial centers.

MARINES GUARD
WESTERN SECTION
Col. Hooker Reports All
Quiet as Troops Stand
Guard in Rain.
BY the Associated Press.


SHANGHAI, China, January 29.-
United States Marines, who spent the
night guarding their section of the In
ternational Settlement against dis
orders. stayed on the job today in pour
ing rain.
Under Col. Richard Hooker, the Ma
rines have been made responsible for
the entire western section of the settle
ment, which includes the chief residen-
tial area. The district to which they
were assigned is bounded on the north
by winding Soochow Greek.
It was here in 1927 that the same
Marines, shortly after they first came to
China, went into the trenches shoulder
to shoulder with the crack Coldstream
Guards of Great Britain.
AS the defeated troops of Chang
Tsung- Chang, Shantung war lord,
poured helter-skelter toward the settle
ment the Marines on that occasion faced
a difficult task when the Chinese troops
harassed them with wild firing But
steadily and calmly they fought off the
horde in what now is referred TO as
"the famous battle Of Markham Road
Bridge"
Hooker Reports Quiet.
Today the Marines occupied the same
positions and patrolled the same streets.
Col. Hooker reported that all was well
along the Marine front, and that there
was no sign of Chinese troops, although
the battle in Chapel had been roaring
away on their right front all night long.
The British now, as five years ago,
stand on the left of the Marines The
English troops no longer are the Cold
Stream Guards. Instead two sturdy
battalions of the Lncolns and the
Royal Scots, totaling 1000 men, are
handling the job.
Seventeen hundred Frenchmen and
French colonials guard the French Con-
cession, 1900 Shanghai volunteers are
on duty in another section of the set
tlement and 1900 apanese-entirely
separate from the occupation force-are
protecting the northern section Of the
settlement.
800 Requirements Due.
Eight hundred British replacements
were due TO arrive today to swell the
foreign garrison to 840O men 1t is the
task of this garrison to guard the hun
dreds of millions of dollars worth Of
foreign property in Shanghai.
These troops have stopped all move
ment into the settlement. which is sur
rounded on three sides by Chinese ter
ritory full Of Chinese troops and on the
other side by the MUDDY Whangpo
River.
The American Marine contingent
numbers 1900 men. During the 1927
trouble Smedley Darlington Butler, now
retired, was their commanding officer.

j. s. INVESTMENTS
IN SHANGHAI GREAT
Estimate Is Set at $685.
00O,0 in Gold by Com
merce Department.

American investments in Shanghai
were estimated today by Commerce De-
partment officials at S135,000,0O0 in
gold, representing the greater portion
of American investments in all of China
Commercial Attache Julean Arnold,
at Shanghai, has notified the depart
ment that this country has 0,000, 900
in investments in China. He estimated
that an additional $4,000, 900 has been
invested in missionary enterprises
Arnold said there are $500 American
civilians and l,500 wives and children
of military and naval men residing in
the International Settlement. He placed
the number OF American firms in op-
Grafton in the International Settlement
and in Shanghai proper at 400 In all
China, he said, there are approximately
10000 Americans and 700 American
firms.
Utilities Holdings Heavy.
The heaviest investors in Shanghai
are the International Telephone g. Tel
egrah Co. and the American & Foreign
Power Co., which built the telephone
system and extended public utilities
throughout the city of 100000 per-
sons
Various American oil firms have tre-
mendouS bunkerages at Shanghai and
in the interior, Arnold said.
In a. recently published pamphlet,
entitled China Through American
Windows" Arnold said Shanghai occu-
pies the most strategic position, eco
nomically, in China. 1t is situated on
the Yangtze Delta, in which within an
area the size of the State of Illinois

40000,000 or 800 persons to the square

Shanghai is China's commercial and
industrial capital. Fifty-one per cent of
all imports INTO China were landed at
Shanghai last year and rs per cent Of
all exports passed out through that port.
Its trade amounts 10 more than $1,000
100000 year. according to Arnold'S
estimate.
Many Foreigners There
The commercial attache reported last
year that Shanghais foreign population
consists of $4,000 Russians, 250O0 jap
aneSe, 5000 British, 5000 Americans,
1000 Germans, 1900 French and 1000

There are 19 consulates, each with its
consular courts for the trial of disputes
among its own nationals. There are
Sc banks and about 2,CC0 foreign busi-

Your Health
And Diet
By LOGAN CLENDEN1NG, M. D.

By LOGAN CLENDENING, M. d.
A CORRESPONDENT writes
for information on face lifting
and on reducing weight by
medicated baths.
Face lifting is done in several
ways. The simplest is by medi-
Gated mud packs. The sub.
stance used in the mud is
usually aluminium acetate. The
mud is fine clay or kaolin,
with perhaps an oil incorpor.
ated in it to give it the proper
consistency.
The mud is left on the face
for a short time and then
washed off. The effect of the
aluminium acetate is astringent.
The small muscles and elastic
fiberS of the skin and under
the skin are puckered and says
in the skin are really shortened
UP so that a face lifting effect
is achieved. This effect, how
ever, Is only temporary and the
process must be frequently re-
peated. The beauty specialists
who use this method usually
give the customer an aStringent
wash to apply between treat
ments. Such treatments do no
harm, so far as I know, al
though their long continuance
inevitably leads to q coarsening
Of the skin.
Surgical methods of face
lifting are used both by quail
fled surgeons graduates in
medicine from regular schools)
and by specialists who do not
have medical degrees, but who
have learned the procedure
from another instructor. Very
fine instruments are used to
go under the skin at strategic
points, such as the hair line or
corner of the eyes, and short
en- the subcutaneouS tissues.
The work is usually done with
great skill. I have examined
a number of results and it is
quite difficult to find the skin
scars, even when you know it
is there. OF course, as in all
surgical procedures, accidents
and bad results will happen,
but if anyone decides it is
worth while to attempt it, the
procedure may be recommended
as generally quite safe.

Box

Face strapping has been re.
vived. It consists mainly OF
treatment of the neck, shoulders
and back, manipulations and
slapping going on to induce the
large arteries and blood vessels
tn rouse themselves and carry
cell-making and muscle strength
ening rations to the complexion.
Neck and chest will take a lot
of massage punishment, but the
softer tissues of the face will
accept nothing more vigorous
than a light tapping.
Time now to think of buying
winter shoes. Pass up those
cute little kicks with thin soles
and high heels. Get walking
shoes that will protect the feet
from cold pavements. You don't
take cold? That's not the idea.
Heavy, protective shoes are nee
essary to keep your nose beautl-
fully and romantically pale.
Chill your feet and your nose

Aunt Julia began to write,
suggesting that Val had prob
ably stayed long enough.
Mustn't get her head turned
with too much luxury. Mustn't
wear out her welcome.
Val grinned as she read be-
tween the lines. Aunt Julia
was afraid she was having too
good a time.
"The devil with all that"
Vincent said. Now you're
down here, stay awhile. If
you're going to be a poor
architects wife and settle down
in the middle West, you want
to get some fun first. See that
she has o good time, Millicent!"
Millie didn't have to try. 1t
just happened. Every day was

the stern eye of Aunt Julia and

Here she was constantly ad-
mired, and though those who
admired her didn't matter par
ticularly, it showed her that
she really had possibilities. At
home Joe was the only one who
ever really admired her.
Val Senses Truth
She picked up a jargon Of
horse hows, races, dog shows.
Had her first lessons in golf.
Learned to drive Miles speedy
roadster, the, first big car she
had ever had in her hands.
And adored the yachting
parties.
These all too often demora-

ing in the saloon or flat on
their backs in their hunks. But
that just gave her the deck to
herself. She could stand, wind
whipping her hair, tingling her
cheeks, hands thrust deep into
her pockets, beside Mr.. Mac

stories of the old days when he
