" i ' CHINA'S PROBLEM The disturbances in China are the result of an afvakened condition mental and industrial. Her contact Hth the Western world through commerce and education ; has given her a new vision of life and she is striking wickedly, men acingly at'the shackles of 'industrial slavery and superstition which has held her bound for centuries.

They are beginning to see the reat dis parity between the western and their own industral condi tions. They agitate, they revolt and the -revolution spreads -beyond the bounds of control and reason.

China must be given opportunity! to solve her own problems bo long as she can do so without unnecessary sacificesof life and property.

DURKEE HOME IN BETTER SPIRITS I looked at Mrs. Durkee closely to find out what thought lay be hind her continent upon Dr. Fox ham's farewell words to her. Was she apprehensive that she, too, like the soldiers she had nam ed, might not "come back" if she followed his advice and went un der a surgeon's knife? f Or was her speech simply a flippant mask for the nervousness which I knew was shaking her? Whichever it was, I knew, that my cue was to ignore it, and 1 took the surest way. of changing the tenor. ,of her thoughts. It would be a Joke on me," I re marked with apparent uneasiness. if that taxi shouldn't be in front after all my assurances to you that it would." ! "Oh, Madgel" She caught her breath, changed her walk to a funny little trot, dragging me with her. "Hurry till we see. I'll never forgive myself for leaving those suitcases in the cab." Yes, you will,"! smiled, as I stepped ahead of her, and swung the street door open, "for here are the man and the cab, both ap parently intact.' I am sure the suitcases are equally safe." Mrs. Durkee Announces Her Plan. "I won't be till we get a chance to open 'em," Bhe replied darkly, but I was relieved to note in a subdued key. "He had a chance to drive somewhere near and take out everything, he wanted. Look at him closely Madge, he looks bulgy to me." She had" the grace to whisper the laat words, 'but-they set me off into irrepressible laughter, and I saw the cabman glance furtively at me. as if be suspected me of insanity. , . ' . "I don't see anything to, laugh at," she whispered pettishly when we were safely in the taxi, with a thick glass slide between ourselves and the driver.' ' "He does look bulgy. I'll bet , he's got Dicky's dress suit wrapped around him In side of his coat this minute." The evident sincerity in ' her voice, the wrathful belligerence of her manner, set me off again, and I laughed until she always the possessor of unruly rlsibles was compelled, to join me. ;- "When we get to the station, I'll i grab "him - by. the collar - and hold him while you search him,' I proposed gravely, after I recov ered my breath. "Imly!" wish I had the nerve to do it," she retorted, then added with apparent irrelevance ti "What time is it!" and 1 knew that her fussing concerning the taxi driver was at an end. - . "Ten minutes of?" "Do you suppose we can. make that 3:10 to Marvin?" . "I am sure we can, barring some traffic Jam, which isn't likely.' ; "That will be fine. I do so want to get home and out of this rig before Alfred and Lelia reach the house. And don't you peep about seeing me in the city. I'll hide Dicky's suitcase so they won't sus pect anything." , , "But,- I protested, dismayed, "surely you're going to tell them about Dr. Foxholm'a advice." ' "Eat, Drink and Be Merry" "No, 1 I'm rtot," she said, "but YOU are. I'll give you plenty of chance after dinner. But I don't want to be anywhere around when you talk about It. I'll I'll do anything Alfred thinks best, ; al though I do want to wait until Dr. Pringle gets back to see what he thinks about me. But I want Alf red and the rest of you. to go ahead and make any arrangements that are - necessary . and tell me about it only when you're ready. I'm going to forget the whole thing from now on--that Is, when the pain will let me, and have the best time going. What's that old verse eat, drink and be mer ry " --: vT: ; ' "Stop It." I said with an assum ed pettishnesa I hoped would be effective. "You're enough to give anybody the horrors. Even if you do have to go to the hospital you'll be there only a week, and eyeryi body gets over operations nowa days. It isn't fashionable to do anything else. And Juet think what an interesting invalid you'll be. I hereby promise to bring or send you something pretty every day until you're well again."' "Look out. You may be bank rupt." she warned, but I saw that the idea had caught her fancy and that she was revelling in it as would a child. "Then I'll gather all of 'em you haven't eaten, and have an auction to retrieve my fallen fortunes," I said lightly, and was rewarded for the banal Jest by a peal of genu ine laughter. .For the minute, at least, I had succeeded in banishing her mor bid fears, and, indeed, I saw -no further sign of them during our railroad Journey to Marvin, nor the ehort taxi ride to -the Durkee home.. - ;' ) -'" ' .': .-j, She was in exceptionally .high spirits as ,welrew-up to the house .j door but her face darkened, with annoyance as a woman who evi- TftlEMDS -HOLD AN'uUAL f.!EET!?G IfJ PORTLAND QUAKERS ; ARE ATTKXDrXO r ; FROM 51 AN Y LOCALITIES MiH-suerite Elliott Elected Record ing rierk at Business , Beftftion - A VOTE FOR J.C.
