Freighting in China Is
Done With Wheelbarrow

For the most part, China is land
OF ''hand-labor." Things that we do
by machine are done by hand over
there.
There are railway trains In China
but not nearly so many as the coun-
try should have. 1t is a common
custom for loads to be carried on
wheelbarrows pushed for miles
through the countryside, from a
farm or village to a city.
Chinese wheelbarrows are not like
the ones common in our land. They
are built so that the wheel is not
so far to the front
The wheel is of large size, usually
from 212 to 3 feet high. It's axle
often is made of wood, and as the
wheel turns there is creaking and
SQueaking.
In Chinese cities We find some
streets wide and well paved. In
country districts, on the other hand,
the highways almost always are
narrow. Some are barely three feet
wide and are fiji only for Wheelbar-
row traffic.
Loading his WheelbarroW with
goods weighing a quarter of ton
a barrow man may spend 10 hours
or more pushing it along
Sometimes the framework on a
Chinese Wheelbarrow is made in a
way that will allow people to take
seats on it. They sit back to back
very much as passengers do on
Irish jaunting cars.
Certain Chinese cities have fair
number of automobiles, but not
nearly so many as cities on our con-
tinent. Outside of the cities there
are few automobiles to be found in
China

Girl Gets Gun to Scare
Boy, Wounds Him Fatally

SAN FRANCISCO ine-year-old
David Henry Antolini died of gun
shot wounds today because he want
ed to look at some funny books
which Barbara Ortega, nine, didn't
want him to see.
David and four small-boy compan-
ions called on Barbara yesterday
and asked permission to look at the
books they knew she had
Get out" Barbara said My
daddy has got two guns and if you
don't get out, I'll shoot"
The fourth-grade schoolgirl went
to a closet and returned with a dou-
ble-barreled shotgun. She pointed it
at David, standing nearest. There
was an explosion, the force of the
blast throwing the weapon from
Barbara's hands David fell, and
the other boys ran.
Il didn't think it was loaded"
Barbara whimpered. Il just want

In the process evidence was dis
