Oh, was 1t not ridiculous
That cavemen ran so wild
And never were meticulous
In seeking manners mild.
Their customs ceremonial
Made a ferocious show,
Their manners matrimonial
Were rough as well we know.
The garments are not quite the same
Which more or less we wear
We do not read or write the same
AS persons way back there.
We walk more perpendiculous-
Yet future words may be,
"Oh, were they not ridiculous

Shortage Of Homes.
Manchuria Daily News, Dairen.-
Although private capital is engaged in
the construction of residences in
Hsinking. it has not yet been able to
cope with the increasing demand for
modern homes. Hundreds are under
construction and each month finds
many scores turned over by contractors
to renters or purchasers. Yet the de-
mand continues far to exceed the
supply.
In an attempt to assist civil service
employees the municipality is building
155 houses as the first part Of q con-
tinuous program. These are the 1888
contribution. Sixty homes are nearing
completion and the balance will be
ready soon. The residences are let
to civic workers at rental which
provides for repayment of the cost over
number of years, without interest.
