T.V. SOOngNOt Alarmed

THERE is an old Chinese proverb: "One does not
i use good iron for nail, or good for
soldier''
That proverb has been one Chinese keynote for ten
centuries or So The Chinese creed has been that
man should think first of his family and his money,
with his countrys welfare bad second if he thought
about at ALL Chinese soldiers have been mercenaries
U,. armed racketeers preying bust
ness people and the peasants. In
w" 'O''O Japan the national feeling has been
the exact opposite-that mans first duty was to his
country and that the best ever was not too
good to be soldier.
It may be that China is at last forsaking the old
proverb. T. V. Soong Chinese fnancer and brother
of Nine. Chang Kai-Shek, says he is not alarmed by
the large war loans Japan is floating; and adds:
Until recent the Chinese have
nare but today find of the nations leading
lilies fighting side by side with soldiers of origin.
Even with inferior equipment there
in the world than Chinese soldiers This they have proved
in the recent fighting which they are winning
worlds applause.
This momentous change in China if it is occurring
Mr. Soong claims, be credited in large part to
Nine. Chang Kai-Shek wife of Generalissmo Chang
Kai-Shek of the Marking government and graduate of
Wellesley class of 1917. The Generassimo for years
rh;,oeo looked as Japan's leading
Chinese stooge.
'O"'' - Some months ago, Marshal Chang
Hsueh-liang kidnapped Chang Kai-shek, holding him
at Sian, far inland from Marking. Nine. Chang went
by plane to dicker for her husbands release She got
it, according to reports that reliable by inducing
her husband to agree to put up real battle against the
next japanese attempt to grab another piece of China
and by backing her husbands promise with her own
word that the promise would be kept.

Marry-GO-
Round
BY HELEN ROWLAND

If a woman would go into a
huddle with her head instead OF
her heart, and spend as much
time in reducing her inferiority
complex as she does in reducing
her hips, and as much energy in
cultivating her self confidence
as she does in cultivating her
eyelashes, she could be sure OF
at least three times as much
happiness.
Why will a sensible, substan-
tial girl, who has always planned
to marry for love and a home,
pick out some dashing philan-
derer, with glamour-plus, who
spends most of his waking hours
in a white-tie-and-tails, and who
thinks that life begins amid the
White Lights at 2 a. m?
Or if she is the pleasure-loving
type and wants to be on the "go"
all the time, why does she marry
a Woodworking business man,
who comes home dead tired, has
to be hauled protestingly to par
ties, dances all over her satin
slippers, and keeps muttering,
when do we escaped"
Marriage is the most impor-
tant step in the life of any man
or woman, yet the same man
who will hire a staff Of attorneys
to advise him, spend time and
money in careful research and
investigation before going into
a business partnership, will go
headlong into a matrimonial
partnership-hit or miSsl

Lost Home, Too

I surely sympathize with
Mrs. M. I.
I, too, begged and pleaded for
my life when the Home Loan
took my home, but no one could
do anything about it. When
you are nearly half a century
old-and ill-it means your life
when you are thrown out with
out a penny. They take from
us who are fighting for exist
ence and give it to the ones who
don't need it, or put it in some
fool project. I wonder what
would happen if a real estate
company tried to get away with
such a deal. All the talk about
better housing-and I am forced
to live in a dump that would
make anyone ill.
I am alone but for a son who
is just about ripe for slaughter.
After fighting for years against
everything to keep him, they
probably could do something
about it if I tried to claim him
if the country needed him.
