The Capital has a surprisingly
large number of pilots and plane
owners. First, of course, there are
officials of airlineS, governmental
aviation bureaus and the like,
most of whom are licensed pilots,
some owning their own ships.
Aside from this class, there are
those who like flying for one of
several reasons-the sheer thrill
Of controlling ship in the clouds,
the expediency and efficiency an
airplane permits in business and
recreational activities, or, perhaps,
the Enthusiastically minded people
who, like the first owners of
"horseless carriages" enjoy being
pioneers in the field.
There are in addition to the
Washington airport, which, Incl
dentally, is too busy with it's COM
mercial activities to permit of
much private aviation there-sev-
eral other landing fields and
hangers nearby. At these, you
may see the planes of Washing
tonianS being refuelled for some
trip or taking off for a tour of
the city. There you may see more
and more localities taking their
lessons in guiding a plane, prepar-
atory to applying for a pilots
license.
Diplomats Ship
At College Park Airport, for in
stance, you may see the smart
little ship belonging to the Air and
Military Attache of the italian
Embassy, Lieut.. Col. Vincenzo Cop
pola, who takes it up for spin
quite often, like as not with
Signora Coppola Viola as a pas
senger. You will glimpse there,
too, the two planes of Richard
Sanders, that of Chester H. War
rington and that of Harrison
Somerville.
Young Richard Schall, son of
the late Senator Thomas Schall,
keeps his plane at the Queens
Chapel Airport. Also out there
you will see with their planes,
whenever they have the oppor-

At the Tidal Basin a day or
so ago, three young boys were

scooting about on bicycles, on
the walk around the waters
edge. When it was time to
leave and relinquish the
wheels, there was a barrage
of pleadings in Spanish di-
rected at a gentleman who
had brought them. He was DR..
Alberto Muxo, of the Cuban
Embassy, and one Of the boys
was his son. The other two
were the sons of DR.. Enrique

Cuban Ambassador, DR.. Gull

were in vain, and the party
left, with promise of perhaps
another cycling expedition in

In 1929, a certain
General Chang rebuilt the city in
three days and nights, using it is
said about five and a half million
laborers. In 1860, at the time Of
the TAPPING Rebellion, nine-tenths
of the city was again destroyed.
The city has been rebuilt, it being
much smaller in area and has made
remarkable progress since the estab-
lishment of the republic in 1911.
Silk weaving, fan making, drug
manufacture, and the making of joss
money are the principal industries.
Soochow. Soochow is 60 miles
west of Shanghai, and has pOpula-
tion of about 100000 people. 1t is.
one of the oldest and most famous
in all China. The Chinese express
sion says "there is heaven above,
and there is HangchOW and SOochow
below The original SoochOw city
was built 225 B. G. In $50 A. D.,
after a successful rebellion, a new
city was built nearer to the hills, be-
cause the old city was SO wicked and
full of thieves it was impossible to
drive them out. In 1900 A. D., the
walls were destroyed and the moat
filled in. In 1861, the Taipings
killed nearly million people in two
years time in and near SoochOw. In
1863, the Ever Victorious Army un-~
der Chinese Gordon defeated the
Taipings at Soochow. Soochow in
addition to it's being the cultural
center of China for centuries, has
also been an important center for
the silk industry.
The length of the houseboat trip
was about 400 American miles A
similar trip in United States in a
corresponding latitude would be
from Waycross, Georgia, 142 miles
southwest to Tallahassee, Florida.
Then lat miles north to Albany,
Georgia, and back southeast 120
miles to from

Weekly, Shanghai, China.

Chinese believe there are real
dragons living in China today. They
may be as small as silkworm, or
they may be several miles in length.
He is said to have a head of cam
ell, the horns of a deer, the ears of a
COW, the neck of snake, the body
of fish, the scales of carp, the
claws of an eagle, eyes of devil,
and the paws of tiger. Belief in
him will probably continue to sur
vive in China many, many years.

pies the first two gods inside the
front entrance are known as Heng

centuries ago, had the idea of the
deadly light ray and poison gas.
The next is jolly, fat, laughing
Buddha, always seated with a good
natured grin, and his gown open
exposing his chest and stomach. He
is sometimes called the Future
Buddha. In the same hall, two on
one side and two on the other of
this Laughing Buddha are to be seen
the four Mo brothers, who are call
ed the Four Diamond Kings of
Heaven. They defend the faith, and
they reward others who do the same.
One conquers by his sword, another
by his guitar, the third by his um-
brella of "Chaos," and the fourth,
by his control over animals and SER
pentS. The next god is in the same
building, facing the inner court.
with his back to the Laughing Bud
dha, and is called Wei To. He rep
resents militant righteousness, is
sometimes called the personal body
guard of the Goddess of Mercy, and
it is said his picture pasted in the
back of books you lend to friends,
will cause your friends to return
them to you. In the next main hall
are to be seen the three large images
