came to America as an immi-

Bibles and sold them. Mr.. Soong
was an amazing man of China.
He installed a firm belief for a

Aiding married H. H. Kung,
Chinese prime minister, and his
next to the eldest daughter
Ching-Ling married the great
DR.. Sun Yat-Sen. Madame Kung
graduated from Wellesley and
Madame Sun graduated from
Wesleyan of Georgia. Soong had
three sons and all fought in the
.reYelotion to free China. Dr..
Kung is a graduate of Yale. New
Chinese leaders, educated and
efficient, are coming to the fore
front. China will again demand
her independence in Asia.
THE OPIUM WAR
One CT the most glazing sins
against China was England's
opium War of 1889 when the
British forced the Chinese to be-
come a consumer of the drowsy
drug which British merchants
got from India. They saw a great
market in China and forced their
way in with gunboats over the
protest Of the Chinese Mauchu
rulers. By brutal conquest the
British led other Western DOW

and wondered what the next
generation was coming to. How
ever, it is peculiarly gratifying
to notice the surprise registered
by some of the big conductors,
when they are informed that
one ftheir compositions was
the brain child of a person of
color. Dett, Joplin and many
others, have had their forgot

"The CHINESE were old when
ancient Greece was young,
writes John Gunther, author Of
best seller, INSIDE ASIA. "They
produced ConfuciuS centuries
before Alexander the Great, or
Julius Caesar; they were having
a magnificent mature develop
ment when Europe was a medic
val shambles We don't know
the origin of the Chinese. They
have always been there. They
seem older than the rocks"
DIR. SUN YAT-SEN
One fourth Of the human race
lives in China which is larger
than all Europe put together.
But there is no great Chinese
United States, no world wide
chinese merchant marine, such
as Japan had; no great urited
Chinese army, navy and airforce.
In brief, there is no united Chi
ma, no free China. DR.. Sun Vat
Sen, born a poor boy in Southern
China, baptised a Christian, a
brilliant doctor of medicine,
graduate Of Hong Kong, led a
revolutionary campaign to give
China to the Chinese. DR.. Sun
asked the Western Powers for
help and was turned down. This
was in 1921 after the first world
war. Western nations wanted to
control Chinese business, main
tain missions, keep Chinese out
of their own countries but they
didn't want a free China. So
DR.. Sun sent his trusted disciple
Gen Chang Kai-Shek to Russia
and he got his help in jig time.
China also got a communist fac
ton and civil war. Chang Kali
Shek, present ruler of the Chi
nese-one-third republic; started
off with the LeftiSt faction and
then swung Right. He is still
supposedly opposed to the Chi

One of the eccentricities Of
amateur performers, is the urge
to present something new" to
the audience. This usually re-
suits in the performer going out,
a few weeks before appearance,
and selecting something with
which he is entirely unfamiliar,
and trying to cram the neces-
Sary practice int GA few days.
The result is a very unSatlsfac-
tory performance. When called
upon t operform, try pullisg out
the oldest and most familiar of
your numbers, something that
you have performed until you
have grown tire of it. The ma
jority Of the audience may new
err have heard it at all, and, In
any case, you probably perform
it better than anything else you
can do. So, give yourself q
break. Do what you can do best,
that with which you are most
familiar, and observe the result.

BEAUTY HINTS

A woman of 10 was asked how
it was her face remained so fine
grained, smooth, well contoured
and unwrinkled through all the
years. She said, ut is all due
to Witch Hazel. Every day Of
my life I wash my face in It,,
BUT, 1 always remember to us
good tissue cream to keep
it from getting too dry and
therefore wrinkled." The witch
hazel alone would be too dry
ing, but when used with a good
oil, it keeps fine and young.
You don't need much, just a
brushing over with a cloth
moistened in the tonic. Begin
using It NOW if you too would
retain your beauty Of face

church missions in China failed
to erase these crimes. Nor did
they fool the Chinese leaders.
Chinese saw their country be-
come the leading opium country

advantage of this; tried to in

There is no truth in the pro-
paganda that the Chinese prefer
Western Power domination.
There has always been rebellion
from the start. In 1900 a Chinese
Boxer Rebellion flared against
Europeans, killing a great num-
Der. In 1921 DR.. Sun made a sec
ond effort. Even Japan found
some welcome in China by Ger
tain leaders. Russia now as

displacement of Japan has not
atoned for the Western Power

Call for Naturalization of Industry

July 5-provided Mr.. Churchill acts
by Thursday-or July II if he delays

The London press, which has been
urging an early meeting of the Big
Three to settle the Polish issue and
other European problems, said that
with the elections coming up any
such meeting was out of the ques-
ton until late in July or August.
The 1,100 Labor Party delegates

which bluntly termed the Labor

for sweeping naturalization of in

The Senate Appropriations Com
mittee today approved the House
proposal to allow each Representa-
tive a $2,500-a-year expense fund,
and voted to apply it to Senators,
too.
The vote is understood to have
been II to A.
The Senate group made slight
change in the wording of its ex-
pense item to provide that, while
the $4,000 would not be income, and
therefore not taxable, any expenses
above that figure would be limited
to items authorized by law and
would have to be justified in the
usual manner.
Senator OMahoney, Democrat, of
Wyoming, one of the four oppo-
nents, told reporters he objected to
the expense allowance on the
ground that any adjustments in
congressional compensation ought
to be considered in connection with
the study now being made of legis-
lative procedure by the joint
streamlining committee headed by
Senator La Toilette, Progressive, of
Wisconsin.

Louisiana, in charge of the bill in
the absence of Senator Tydings,

however, that the resolution under
which the La Toilette Committee is
working gives it no jurisdiction to
go in to the question of salary or
expense of members.
"Officials of all Government de-
partments and members of the ju-
dietary are allowed expenses in
Cured in connection with their
official duties, and this merely ap-
plies the same principle to the
legislative branch" Senator Over
ton said.
The committee also increased the
number of long distance telephone
calls allowed Senators, after find
ing that last years provision giving
each Senator 10 calls a month cost
only about $1,000 instead of an esti-
mated $4,000. The pending bill al
lows each Senator 26 long distance
calls a month, or one for each work
ing day.
Another amendment provides that
when Senators are away from
Washington they will be allowed Of
ficial long distance calls not exceed
ing $500 year, to be accounted for.
