FAMINE PERILS
CHINA AS GREAT
FLOOD NEARS
Yellow and Yangtze Rivers
Threaten Change in
Courses.
BY WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS
scripps- Howard FOREIGN Editor

WASHINGTON, July 15.-As one
Of the most catastrophe floods in
history threatens China, it is feared
that pestilence, famine and po-
ltical disturbances will follow in
it's wake.
The yellow river-known for ages
as "China'S Sorrows believed to
be on the point of changing it's
course once more, to empty into
the Yellow sea, 400 miles south of
its present mouth in the Gulf of
Chilli
The Yangtze river-the MISSISSIPPI
pi of China-likewise is OH the
rampage, leaving tens of thousands
in want.
Communism in China
The Boxer rebellion largely was
the result of the Yellow rivers ter
rible food of 1898, when many mil

now is reported to be sweeping
many regions Of China, partly due
to the country's troubles with
Japan and its own war lords, and
partly to wholesale misery among
the masses.
The floods of the Yellow and
Yangtze rivers always come in hot
weather. Both rise in the noun
tains of Tibet During winter,
when the upper reaches freeze and
snow accumulates in the uplands,
the streams are low. AS the SHOWS
melt, the level of the waters rises
rapidly.
Course Is Changed
The Hoang-ho, or Yellow river, is
$500 miles long. Yet it is not navi-
gable. 1t is too turbulent, treach-
erous and shifty. New sand bars
form from one day to another.
Like the Mississippi, its bed rises
higher and higher until far above
the surrounding country. A vast

to keep up its levees.
About 1000 years ago the stream
apparently emptied into the Yellow
sea. Then it changed, emptying 500
miles to the north, at Tientsin
through the mouth of another river,
the Pei-ho. During a subsequent
flood, like the present, however, it
changed again, back to the Yellow
sea, which it favored until 1852,
when it switched again.
Bed Giving Away
1t now flows into the Gulf of
Chilli, about $50 miles south of its
former outlet, at Tientsin.
Today the bed of the cratic
river is too high to hold it much
longer. During some great flood it
almost certainly will find itself an
other course. 1t may do SO now.
The provinces through which it
flows have population of nearly
1O0OO0,000. They are for the most
part very flat.
At various times in the past it
has covered almost all the region
with sand and mud until some Of
the areas through which it mean
derS are amongst the worst famine
plagued regions of China.

FAVOUR
 CHILDREN
By Olive Roberts Barton

Sally was afraid of dogs. This was quite natural because ner mother was afraid of them, too. Not that inc little s-year.old had inherited her fear, but because small children react to most things precisely as their parents do. ..
 Mt might be said that even had Sally's mother never expressed her. self In words, the child would have learned to fear just the same A look, an exclamation, a gesture, d tone of the voice tell worlds .ok things 10 tiny children. Sally could tell her mother was afraid of dogs simply by watching her
 Father Hates Cats
 Her father hated cats. Perhaps he was afraid of them, for behind the male dlstaste of anything feline lies some sort of aboriginal terror, I am sure. So intense was his hat. red of cats that he was cruel, He would put an end to one as cheer fully as he would stamp out Q spi- der or behead n snake.
 So Sally learned to hate cats, too. And she hated them almost as much as her daddy did, which is unusual for a little girl.
 And so she grew up deprived not only of two pleasures, but with two distressing phobias that col- ored her dreams at night. Be- sides she lost something very val. uable-for the sympathy for ana sense of protection over dumb ant- mals develops something very Inc in all of us. As a means of bring ing out fine quality in a human being, all tame animals make . splendid medium.
 Now if these unhappy reactions of Sally's could have been Kept just to dogs and cats she wouldn't have been so badly off.
 Too Many Phoblas
 But 1t happened that her mother disliked Mrs Smith, caraway seed or anything favored with 1t, the big floor lamp, the horn on the Jones' car, the church by the park and everyone who went to 1t, the foreign family whose children used to come and gaze at the flowers, and the republicans next door.
 Anybody who wasn't of her race, creed, color or politics she had no use for. Sometimes sho said So, and sometimes she just acted ike 1t. These prejudices, of course, had to be multiplied by two. Be- cause her husband had just as many. He wouldn't touch liver or Ash, he hated red for Q color and made fun of any make of car but his own. As for people, he was still more emphatic in his obses- slons than his wife.
 And so little Sally grew up with the same opinions as her parents. Any way that wasn't her way was wrong. Her grandma had pet hates, and her aunts and uncles had special antiquities. and every one seemed to be too cross or criti- cal to be happy.
 Was it fair to load so clean Q soul as Sally's with all the things that make life so hard to bear?

Jack was weak and white and his chin was stubborn when Sue saw him for the second time. Ho motloned for her to slt down on the edge of the bed. She leaned over, kissed him, and caught both of his hands In hers.

ROBERT JOHNSON GOES m THE nNNTISr

Robert Johnson was four years old this week, so of course he had Q party. I was invited and, having Q free afternoon, accepted.

Wo also had 0 cake with four cnn- dles, which Robert blow out with one puff, thereby making sure Of Q happy yoar for himself.

'Seo my tooth, Mother! bit my candy and my tooth wigglod." And, opening his mouth as wide as it would go, he pointed to one of hts front teeth. Sure enough, whom Mrs Johnson touched 1t, 1t did "wiggle" though 1t evidently didn't hurt Robert in the least. Mrs Johnson laughed. "Well l deelare!" she said, "that must have been c hard piece Of candy" And sho lot Robert run back to his little guests.
 When he was out of hearing she turned to mo.

first signs of trouble and to check them before they grow to serious proportions.
 AS Q matter of fact the Johnson children have particularly good teeth. This, I think, Is due chiefly to two things. In tho first place Mrs Johnson provides e well regu- lated diet, with plenty of bone building and toth buildinog ma teriai. She knows that sound, well preserved teeth depend on proper food rathor than on moro clean- ing In order to resist decay. And In the second place she has taught her ehildren to keep their teeth as clean as the rest of their bod los. Not only do they brush their teeth at least oneo Q day but they also keep their tooth brushes clean by washing them in hot, soapy water. Mrs Johnson has never for- gotten Q picture she once saw, which showed what hot bed of germs an unwashed tooth brush can be!

BLAINE MAY WIN OLD JOB BACK
 IN WISCONSIN
Authorship of Repeal Bill Aid in Governors
 Oorn
BY WILLARD R. SMITH

A
 United Press Staff Correspondent Madison, Wis, March 8-(UP)- Sen John J. Blaine's authorship of the prohibition repeal resolution adopted by congress was relied upon today by his supporters to re- turn him to the governorship of Wisconsin in 1884.
 The senator, who is a powerful E figure in the progressive republican faction of Wisconsin, was retired by regular republican sweep in the primary election preceding the democratic landslide last fall. Be- fore that retirement became effec- tive this month, Blaine achieved the ambition of establishing him. self as the wet leader of the United States senate.
 "If you want beer, vote for John
 J. Blaine for United States sena-
 tor" proclaimed full-page adver- tisements which appeared here on the eve of Blaine's nomination in
 1926 while he still was governor.
 During his six years in the senate he attempted to make good on that platform.
 Of course, successor the present democratic administration of Gov Albert G. Schmedeman is a factor to be considered. But Blaine's friends contend that he has made friends in the wet ranks outside his
 own faction. Already they are lin- ing up key men for the 1884 cam paign. confident that the author of the prohibition repeal resolution met the wishes of wet majority of Wisconsin voters.
