Chinese Student Holds u. 5.
Students in Great Respect

nese student is considerably great
er than that OF the American en-
rolled in a college or university
The reason given for this pride was
that the Chinese students are look
ed up to by all the people in the
land.
The $4,000 students in China, ac-
cording TO Mr.. Moritz, feel that
the American students must be the
leaders OF their country, but at
the present time do not realize the
power they have and, consequently,
are not prepared to take their prop
er place in the government.
The Chinese student is acutely
conscious OF the fact that he is ply
sically much inferior to the Amerl'
can student, said the speaker. The
reason for this inferiority is that
the former student does not possess
the same facilities for recreation
and health aids as does the latter

Paul Moritz. representative OF
the national intercollegiate Chris
tian Council, said Monday evening
in Starkweather Hall that the Chi
nese student holds great respect
for the American student. He gave
a vivid description OF the life OF
today's students in China.
Mr.. Moritz, who is a graduate Of
the Kansas University, and who
returned last fall from a years
stay in China, claimed that in com
pairing the standard OF living for the
American and Chinese students,
one finds that the formers is much
higher He was jokingly told by
a Chinese boy that the consensus
in China as to the life OF an Ameri-
can student was, "He is very, very
rich, has a private car In which
he drives from class to class, takes
his girl to the motion pictures at
least once a night, and in his spare
time eats ice-cream cones.
Although the description was
given as a jest, the speaker said
that the Chinese very cleveriy
showed with what envy and respect
they look TO the American stu
dents and their facilities for edu
cation.
The speaker described the mass
movement into the interior of
China in order to continue conduct
ing classes. Campus buildings are
made OF mud, with matched roofs
and in most places no electricity IS
available, he said.
THE vast majority OF the stu
dents are on a diet OF two meals
a day." Mr.. Moritz said. He gave
as an example of extreme hunger
the fact that many times a student
would go to restaurants and ash
for food left on the plate by somt
Weather person. And they &c

/ pushed toward Cary.
From the way Cary's hand shot
out and pulled those papers to him
1 knew he was thankful to get
them into his possession But he
was too willy to reveal his eager
ness to the captain. He leaned back
in his chair and remarked, in a
judicial voice:
II suppose, Granddad, there was
a good deal to be said for both
sides of the revolution, but I'm like
you. I'd rather keep away from
such things"
You're right, boy, absolutely
right! Money isn't everything in
this world. Look through the pa
pers and, If you find anything
there, the place for it, in my opin-
ion, is the fire." He snapped out
the last word and returned to his
perusal Of the log.
Slowly and carefully, Cary went
through the papers. When his
hand fell away from the pile and
his head bent in concentration
upon the sheet before him, I knew
he had found what he sought.
With one eye on the old captain,
he stealthily drew the sheet from
the pile. and it joined the other in
his pocket. He went through the
rest Of the papers, laying two to
one side, and with a mutter which
sounded to me like a thank Cod"
pushed the pile, with an air Of dis
taste, away from him.
I've found these two papers,
Granddad," he said. This is the
one l found first. Will you look at
them and decide II shall burn
them"
He held the papers toward his
grandfather, who looked with
loathing at them out made no
move to take them.

FAN l could find"
Then burn them, boy, burn
them. I don't want even TO look
at themw
Cary rose from his chair, crossed
to the fireplace where a good fire
was burning and laid the three
sheets, one at time, upon the
flaming logs. Each one smoldered
for a second, then burst into flame,
and shortly was only a sheet Of
thin red ash which turned gray
fell into pieces and was whisked
up the chimney.
For some time, Cary stood, foot
on the fender. gazing down into
the fire, apparently lost in thought.
When he turned toward me, his
face was drawn into lines Of suf-
fering which made my heart ache
In sympathy.

l kept my eyelids lowered as

from the corner Of my eye closely
watched him.
When the paper was safely OUT
Of sight, he sighed heavily and
went rapidly through the papers
remaining before him. A second
and third time he went through
them as though searching for
something; then, raising his head,
for long moment he soberly re-
garded his grandfather.
A worried frown creased itself
between his eyebrows. As though
obsessed by a sudden thought, he
reached over and took the pile OF
papers he had instructed me to
copy. He went through them as
rapidly as he had done with the
others and returned them to their
place before me without removing
any.
Again he seemed lost in thought.
As if coming to a decision, he
again went through the papers be-
fore him and. removing one, said,
in voice which shook perceptibly:

A painted expression crept over
his features.

Il am not, but I've found a ref

With a shaky hand. the old cap
tain pushed his pile Of papers
nearer Cary.
Look them over, boy" he said,
perhaps you'll find something.
I'm glad you don't want to use it.
I'm surprised Cary kept anything
about that cargo. l didn't want
him to accept it but he would do
it. Said freights were so scarce
he couldn't afford to turn anything
down. That If he didn't do II some

thought on a subject other than
the particular sheet he might be
holding, and / was sure he was
counterfeiting an absorption he did
not feel to prevent his grandfather
from suspecting his discontinue.
When he had laid the last paper
on the combined pile before him,
he leaned back in his chair, wet his
lips nervously before he addressed
the old captain and said:
I'm afraid there's not much of
interest here, Granddad. It's most
ly the same old story-poor bust
ness and cutting prices to keep the
Gay Lady ahoat."
This log Is practically the same
thing" returned the captain. 1T
could be worked up into a telling
account of the straits our Ameri-
can shipmasters were in in trying
to keep ahoat. When Cary lost the
Gay Lady, he refused to invest in
another ship but was in commune
cation with one Of the big freight
steamer lines, and. II he hadn't
been lost. himself, l feel sure he
would have been given command
Of a steamer. l hated to see him
make the change, but he'd hung on
as long as he could. and there was
nothing else to do"
Cary nodded absently; then, no
ticing a sharp glance from the cap
tain, he replied:
when you've gone over the pa
pers, we'll talk about it again. I'll
need your advice about that"
His grandfather smiled, we'll

tinued::
Il think I'll call II a day, Grand
dad. I'm tired, and / know you

Speakers from communities on the

Importance of building the Rogers
pass section of the route across the
Rockies into the Big Blackfoot valley
also was emphasized as key to open
ing the whole route to travel. Refer
ence was made to asserted efforts to
divert money for the Rogers pass prof.
ect to other purposes in forest service

E x Bowman. chairman Of the Mon

to crops insured with the state agency
totaled about $4,000 thus far this
season.
He said the figure was about av-

Bowman emphasized, however. that
the total was preliminary and that
losses still to be adjusted would in
crease it somewhat. He also said severe
ha!lstorms had been reported in the
Cascade and Power districts and in
Carter county, and that some losses
may have occurred there.
