The Safest Workshop. China Says "No Thanks". ! By Arthur Brisbane (Copyright 1927 by Star Company) Miss Grace Shannon, of the Y. V. C. A., telling about Turkish women under Kemal p l t i oam s regime, says tney are ireca rrom compulsory relig . ious education, can get di vorces, instead' of the bow string in marital squabbles, and know how to quote the Koran against their husbands. t One Mohammedan lady, in Montequieu's "Persian Let ters," went farther. She in vented a paradise for Moham medan ladies, no husbands ad mitted, with handsome young masculine angels always at hand to . entertain the lady guests front the earth. Modern women would be interested in those letters, which created a furore in France, 200 years ago. They may be out of print, in Eng lish, but libraries would have them. The complete revenge of the harem's chief lady, ' who poisoned the head eunuch, Would gratify feminists. Dr. William J. Mayo, one of the famous brothers, says science learns more about di sease from the microscope than in any other way. Man's brain is a "visual orEran," and must see, to know. The intro duction of the microscope, by the Jansses, late in the six teenth century, has done more to advance learning than any other agent, savs Dr. Mayo, Real learning owes more to Galileo's introduction of the telescope, at the beginning of the seventeenth century, than to the miscroscope. Seeing the germs that cause disease is im portant, but less so than seeing distant suns and nebulae. Per haps, as the great German sci entist Haekel suggested, men of the future will train one eye for telescopic, the other for microscopic work, the two eyes combined dealing with the real world about us. Lucky the man whose tools, implements, and machinery, all his working equioment, are inside his skull. Paderewski, who plays Beethoven magni ficently, is put out of commis sion by an iniury to his finger. Beethoven, after he became stone deaf, could write his greatest music and conduct the orchestra, watchine the bow of the first violin. When deafen ing aoplause stopped the play ing, he turned around, facing the audience in surprise. He had not heard a sound. Mil ton, blind, could work as well as ever, dictating to his daugh ter. Russia offers China the blessings of Bolshevist com munism, but China, through her nationalist government, says "no thanks," handing to Russian consuls oassports and a reauest to leave China. Everything in Chinese tradi tion and character is ODposed to the Soviet idea. A few young Chinese students, bring ing radical ideas from western universities, cannot counteract the influence of old Con fucius. He was no Bolshevik.

Navy Airplane Langley Blows Up; One Dead, Four Hurt, (Associated Press Leased Wire.) SAN DIEGO, Calif., Dec. 20. Chief Carpenter's Mate Ainsworth was killed, four men sejiousry injured and three more slightly hurt in an explosion aboard the United States naval aircraft carrier Langley here this morning.

' However, it was reported that two or three other men had been blown overboard by the force, of the blast although this has not yet been verified. . , ' ' Names of the injured have not yet been made known. ' The explosion is believed to have been caused by leak ing gasoline which gathered between two huge containers tinder the deck of the ship, each of which have a capacity of 225, 000 gallons. Fire followed the explosion and the naval tug Koko and the fireboat Bill Kettner were rushed to the scene but the crew of the Langley succeeded in extinguishing: the flames be fore the arrival of the boats. The four seriously injured men were brought ashore and taken to the navat hospital, while the three men slightly hurt, were treated at the Nofth Island naval air dispensary.
