Various Spellings.
We all have read a great deal of
late of strife in the city of Shanghai.
Now, the name, "Shanghai," in Chi
nese, is another hen track.
The Occident has fallen into a
habit of spelling it "Shanghai." 1t
might just as well be spelled "Shang-
high" or "Shanghi" or "Shang-hah-
ee." Some authorities contend that
"Shong' is the proper spelling of the
first syllable.
We also have read a lot of the
Whangpoo river.
There is, however, another impor-
tant but northerly Chinese stream
called the Hoang-ho. To the Chinese
ear there is no difference between
''Whang" and "Hoang" There isn't
much difference to the Occidental ear
either, but Occidental spoilers hap
pen to have hit on "Hoang" for the
Hoang-ho, and "Whang' for the
Whangpoo. Who shall say which
school is right about it?
Meaning of "King."
I'm rather proud of my Chinese, of
which I know a dozen or 20 words.
King" or something that sounds
that way, means national capital
"Pe" or "Peh" means northern. MAN"
means southern. Thus Feking Cbefore
the changed it's name to Peiping) sig
nified northern capital; Marking
signified southern capital"
SHAN means mountain range.
"Tung' means to the eastward. "Si''
means to the westward.
So Shantung province, in northern
China, is the eastward of the noun
tains; Shan-si is to the westward.
Hankow is the greatest of China's
interior cities-just across the river
Yangtse from Yanang, a steel center,
the Pittsburgh of China At that point
the River Han empties into the
mightier Yangtse river. "Kow' means
mouth" You can call it "cow" if you
like. Hankow! Mouth of the Han!
There's quite a bit of sense in Chi
nese geographic nomenclature.

robbers, paid the Glendora institu-
ton $4,000 to cover loss of the
district bonds. Later the district
issued refunding bonds and deliv-
cred the new bonds to the indemn-
ity company, after having been
protected by a proper bond against
presentation of the stolen securi-
ties.
Eight of the stolen bonds showed
up April 81, this year, when the
Fidelity and Casualty company of
New York advised the district they
had Bonds Nos 1633-37, inclusive,
and 1926, inclusive. The Fidel-
ity company received the bonds
from the Main State Bank of Chi
cago, after paying to the bank
a loss OF nearly $4,000, on a claim
the bank filed under a Fidelity
indemnity policy.
The Chicago bank said it got
the bonds from "one Goldstein"
as security for a $1,000 loan, later
finding the securities were part
of the Glendora loot.
Harry Horton, attorney for the
district, referred the Fidelity letter
to the Pacific Indemnity company,
which has guaranteed the district
against loss in the matter.
