"TEHOL, CITY OF EMPERORS, -
y by Sven Hedin, is fine cor
receive for us who blindly had
supposed that China always had
been the same sore of disordered and
chaotic place that it is nowadays.
In this book Mr.. Hedin shows us
a different kind of China-an en-
pire that was the greatest, richest
most civilized and most orderly of
any on earth.
Furthermore, he points out that
this condition existed less than a
century and half ago, when a
Chinese emperor snubbed the king
of England, and referred to him
cantemptuously as a vassal prince
Jehol was a city some hundred
miles north of Peiping, which the
emperOrs established early in the
eighteenth century as a summer res
idence. 1t is in decay now, but it
still contains what the author con-
siders the finest existing examples
of Chinese architecture-build
richly Illustrative of a gorgeous past.
Mr. Hedin went there to study the
buildings; his book describes what ne
saw, and recounts enough of Chi
nese history and legend to make
the whole comprehensive.
1t makes fascinating reading. For
sheer color there is little in modern
literature to compare with its &C
count of the Tashi Lama's state
visit to the emperor of China; for
romance there is a tale of the
Turkish girl who was carried to Je-
hol to be the bride of the emperor,
but who rebuffed him. died in ex-
lie, and left a legend that found its
way into Chinese literature.
All in all you'll find "Jehol, City
of Emperors" very much worth your
while 1t is published by Dutton
and the price is $3.50.

SLUMP IN CAR
LOADINGS LESS
THAN EXPECTED
Railroad Officials Given
Comfort by Indications
of 1888 Business.

Ru Scripps-Horqrd Newspaper Alliance
WASHINGTON. Jan. 3.-Railroad
men found comfort today in figures
that indicated car loadingS for the
lirSt quarter Of the new year would
be less than actual loadingS Of the
first quarter Of 1882. The comfort
was contained in the fact that the
decrease was smaller than expected,
and very much smaller than the de-
crease in the last quarter of the old
year
Based on replies to queStionnaires
sent to about 10000 shippers, the
American Railway Association an
nounced that the compilation of
thirteen shippers advisory boards
showed freight carlOadings in the
first quarter will be 4 per cent less
than actual loadings in the CORE
spending period of 1882.
This estimate is significant" the
association said, because the same
shippers estimated late last Septem-
Der that loadings in the fourth quar-
ter-October, November and Deem
ber-of 1882 would be 1914 per cent
under the actual loadings for the
fourth quarter of the preceding
year"
The estimates show that shippers
in three localities, the Great Lakes,
Ohio Valley and southwest regions,
expect increases in carloadings
during January, February and
March. In the first named region
the increase is estimated at 4.S per
cent; in the second, 81 per cent:
and in the southwest is per cent.
OF the twenty-nine commodities
covered in the forecast, it is antic-
ipated that five will show an in
crease in loadings during the jan
uary-March period as compared
with the same months of 1882
These are: Cotton, citrus fruits,
sugar, syrup and molasses; autoss
trucks and parts, and chemicals and
explosives. The largest increase is
predicted for autos, trucks and
parts.
Big decreases are expected in
loadings of hay, straw and alfalfa;
fresh vegetables other than pota-
toes; ore and concentrates; ma
chinery and boilers. and agricultural
implements and vehicles other than
autos

CUT COLD IN
DOLLAR, PLAN
TO hike PRICES
Sensational Results in
World Would Follow
Such Action.

/ Bp Scripps-Hoicard Newspaper Alliance
WASHINGTON. Jan. 3.-Some
congressional inhationists are fin
gering gingerly the idea Of raising
price levels and helping debtors by
decreasing the gold content Of the
dollar.
All apparently realize that their
proposal is fraught with what prob
ably would be sensational results
throughout the world.
The gold content of the dollar
now is approximately 25.6 grains Of
specified fineneSS, a figure fixed in
the law since the late 1870s. Since
this content '@as fixed by law con-
gress has the power to change it,
Those inflationists who delicately
handle this idea believe that if the
gold content were reduced by, say,
so per cent, price levels generally
would rise, debtors would be in a
position to more easily pay their
obligations; something like prosper
ity would return.
Go Off Gold Standard?
Their proposal in effect, is to
have this country go partially off the
gold standard, but economists, who
have studied the plan, contend that
even before any such proposal could
be effected we would have to go off
the gold standard completely, if only
temporarily.
The reason is this:
Any serious consideration Of re-
ducing the gold content of the dollar
would they are convinced, bring
about immediate gold Withdrawals
by depositors in domestic banks.
Thus, the safe and practical thing
to do would be first to go off the
gold standard completely, and then
set about reducing the gold content
of the dollar.
Economists, too believe this prob
ably would raise prices; but they
also recognize that it would cause
CONSERVATION not only in our trade,
but in domestic finance. Savings
deposits, for instance, would be
worth only as much as the new and
cheaper dollar; gold, on the other
hand would buy more dollars.
Make Money Cheaper
They point, also, to the fact that
many debtors probably would not
be relieved because of the gold
clauses in numerous contracts which
specify that these obligations shall
be paid in gold of certain weight
and f1neness. However, more than
one constitutional lawyer is report
ed to hold that these gold clauses
are subject to the act of congress,
and would be subject to the changes
made in the dollar.
Basically, the idea of all inf1a-
tionistS is to put more money where
but little is now; to make money
cheaper. Thus, while a dollar buys
about twenty pounds of cotton now,
cheapening the dollar~would require
more dollars to buy the same
amount Of cotton.
Congress tried to initiate last sum-
mer in attaching the Glass Borah
rider to the home loan bank act.
Under this plan, however, as new
money was issued, old money was
withdrawn by the treasury, and the
experimental imitation did not
initiate

Legislators TO Act on
Reserves for Unemployed
American Substitute for
Jobs Insurance to Be
Studied.

BIZ Scripps-HoWard Newspaper Alliance
WASHINGTON, Jan. 3-Creation
of unemployment reserves, the
American substitute for unemploy-
ment insurance, will be considered
bv from six to ten of the state
legislatures converting this month.
Eight official investigating COM
missions have recommended early
adoption of similar plans.
On the other hand, unemploy-
ment reserves are being opposed,
according to four eminent author
tiles. by campaign of deliberate
Misrepresentation" and persistent
efforts to confuse the public and
especially legislators regarding re-
lationship between foreign systems
of unemployment insurance and the
strikingly different plans for un-
employment reserves.
Different From Europe
american plans for unemploy-
ment reserves would be set up quite
differently from those abroad, y
Ernest G. Draper, vice-president of
the Hills Brothers Company and
member of Governor Roosevelt's
committee on employment stabiliza-
ton, declared today.
They would provide for financial
aid along the lines so successfully
adopted in workmen's compensation.
Their expense would be borne by
industry in return for which indus
try would be authorized to make
limited deductions from federal in
come taxes. There would be no
drains upon the state for in case
reserve funds became exhausted no
further benefits would accrue"
Based on Pay Roll
Commenting along the same lines
Professor Joseph P. Chamberlain of
Columbia university law school eX-
planned that The American plan is
founded on the principle of provid-
ing a reserve through payments by
industries, based on the pay roll.
The payments of each employer
into the fund are a reserve for his
account to pay to his own unem-
ployed workmen. The amount of
contributions of any employer will
thus be diminished as he reduces
unemployment in his plant and is
able to give steady jobs to his work
ers. There will thus arise a definite
pressure on employers to keep their
men working steadily for by so do
ing they will save money"

PAINTING is
STORED AWAY
Fear Damage to Valuable Ar
thurs Painting of Dover
Green Made for State
WAS TO HANG IN CAPITOL

The disappearance from the
walls of the State Capitol at Do
yer of the valuable mural painted
by Stanley NJ. Arthurs, Whining
ton artist, showing Revolutionary
soldiers leaving Dover Green, has
cccasioned a great deal of COM
ment among recent visitors to oD-
yer. The painting, one of a series
of three executed by order of the
Legislature at a cost of several
thousand dollars had been greatly
admired by the thousands of per-
sons who had viewed it on the Old
State House where it hung until
recently. Upon the completion of
the new Legislative building the
painting was taken down and it
was understood that it would be
hung in the new structure. Inquiry
has revealed, however, that the
painting has been rolled up and
stored away. This disposition of
the valuable mural has aroused
fears that this painting, Of great
historic as well as artistic worth,
may be damaged irreparably. Re
sentiment has also been expressed
by many visitors to the capitol
over the fact that the Revolution
ary mural has not been appropri-
ately hung where it may be seen.
The two other murals by Mr.. Ar
thurs, one depicting the surrender
of General Lee at Appomattox and
the other showing scenes of the
World War in France, are now on
the walls of the old House of Rep
resentatives and the State Library
respectively.

PROSPECT FOR
BIG GRAPE CROP
Vineyards Are Advancing and
County Agent Wilson Ad-
vises PreblossOm Spray
METHOD TO BE USED

Grape vineyards are advancing
very rapidly as the result of this
warm weather, and the vines will
soon be ready for the prebIossom
spray, which should be applied
when not more than ten per cent
of the blossoms are out, according
to spray recommendation which
are being sent this week by County
Agent Russell z. Wilson 10 the
grape growers in Kent county in
connection with the vineyard spray
service for this season. For this
preblossom application the growers
are being advised to use the 6-12-
100 formula for Bordeaux mixture,
which consists of pounds of cop
per sulphate (bluestone) and II
pounds of hydrated lime to 100
gallons Of water. In this particu-
lar application, as well as for the
r-blossom and Today sprays in
which poison is used, a change
from arsenate of lead to calcium
arsenate is possible in order to
eliminate the difficulties with the
regulation on lead residue. The op-
tional materials for these sprays,
therefore, include 6-12-100 Borde-
aux with 2 IL pounds of calcium
arsenate and l pint of fish oil
which serves as a spreader for the
spray materials. In order to secure
satisfactory control of grape dis
eases and insects which may be
present at this period of the season
it is very essential that the vines
and clusters be sprayed thorough
". This preblossom spray should
be followed with another applica-
ton of the same materials just as
soon as the vines have passed the
blossoming period, which is known
as the after-blossom application.
The next application, which is call
ed the Today spray, calls for the
same materials, and it should be
applied just before the grapes
touch each other in the clusters, or
when they are about the size OF
garden peas. These sprays are for
the further protection against the
spread of any diseases such as
black rot and brown rot, as well as
for the control of the grape berry
moth, leaf-folder, root-worm and
rose bug.
