Thomas , Uses Violin Made in France In 1620 A violin over 300 years old Is the prized possession ot P. F. Thomas, local instructor on the violin. It was made in Europe in 1(20, probably in France. The in strument while showing its age in its style and in the wearthat it has undergone, is still sweet and rich and full in tone. Mr. Thomas prefers It to newer instruments and uses It generally in his or. chestra conducting. The name of the maker is some what blurred, but appears to have been Gaspard Difsofougard. The style o fthe Instrument is like the Gaspard - do Salo played by the great Ole Bull. It was one ot the violins designed for church use. It has a carved head of an apostle. and on the back a copy of the Ten Commandments was at one dime inlaid. There was formerly. an in lay on the back, a picture of a mediaeval castle. The Instrument bears the in scription in Latin: "Living in the forest I was silent; dead I sang." Drawing the bow a tew times across the strings one realizes how it is so greatly prized by Prof. Thomas. Mr. Thomas obtained it from some Iowans who moved lo CorvalUs about 25 years ag.

Hewitt dean ot the Willamette law school, said Quizzically, upon being asked what impressions he had gained from the tour ot the Orient made this summer and from which he returned to Salem Tuesday. 'My impressions are hard to put into words, and they do not harmenlse with those im pressions with which many travel ers return." "The impressions ene gets -depend upon the way one goea into China. If one goes in en the rail road over beaten paths of tourist travel, sees the artistic ruins of the Sacred Wall, passes huts with their surroundings of cherry trees, and mountain background, goes to the best hotels, and dances on HeMo root srdens to the hartn- ony of Americanized music, he wlllj carry away witu nun, no wono. impression of magnificent quaint ly charming country ot luxurious possibilities. Sanitary Conaiuons found Deplorable Rt if he roes In with a seeing .r, ii. will observe the trouble- and poverty under the thached root ot the quaint huts, he will observe that the humid, warm Cli mate and no sanitary conveniences makes the horrors ot decomposi tion donbly odious, and intensifies the squalor and poverty of the people. And in addition to this, he will observe the vitiating results of the almost unbelievable unmor ality ot the country. And still again, it he goes to associate with the wonderful up perclass grvup of intellectuals who speak English In such manner as to make an English auditor ashamed and whose philosophy is beautiful and inspirational, and whose courtesy, diplomacy and statesmanship charms his guests Into an exstacy ot admiration, then there is stfll another impression. Ton see, each person interprets ac cording to his Interests or his method of seeing China and the Orient" Much Room Exists For Progress "It is very difficult Mr ft sociol ogist or a social scientist or a so cial psychologist to Pit into words what ho sees in China. The progress that the Chinese must make before they reach a level where real development may take place is tremendous. "At the present time as in the past for centuries, the family tra dition has a seriously ramifying influence ot the country's develop ment A family, which in China means the whole family tree, with all Its branches, both living and dead, will sacrifice everything to give one promising member a chance to attend a foreign school perhaps, or some such adventure. The favored member is expected to pay back with good Interest all that has been dome te aid him. If after he becomes educated for in stance, he gets a government po sition. It is expected that he will reward his ''family" and was can see easily how conducive to graft his position would be.

One of the best things "going on In China today, and what he con siders one saving grace tor China Is the open, receptive mind of the young Chinese students with spe cial reference to his growing re spect tor the young wotnen of China. . From an economic standpoint the nesslb tittles of China, are tre mendous. But it should bo realia - ed soon that the protective tariff must be abandoned in order to en hance the economic development which should mean so much to the United States. Dean Hewitt be lieves that every business man should take some time out and visit the Orient in order to realise what It could mean to use it it were properly treated. Bdacatlon Held Way To Gain Access "In speaking of trade," said Dean Hewitt, 'a pertinent aspect was stated to me by a Chinese of ficial. 8&ld he, 'Britain may ex pend money building, advertising and sending representatives te us. bnt the country which will get our trade is the country which giVM our youth its education.' The of ficial was educated in America fol lowing his Chinese education." Politically, Dean Hewitt feel, there Is not such disunion as there is a philosophical attitude toward both national and social life. "The response of an old mandarin to a question put to him by one of our party speaks the attitude to which I refer. He was asked how a cer tain taction go I in government control. Said the mandarin, as he Squatted on the hearth ot his an cestral home, 'The rabbits run over the hillside and compete only with tho squirrels tor the grass that grows thereon. My people have cultivated themselves only In poet ry and literature. I give my time to the philosophy of China.' That was the greatest interest in poli tics that could be displayed by what was supposed to be one ot the wisest men of China," Little National Feeling is Found The report of the aggression of the Russians made no flutter in the rank and. tile ot the Chinese. Japan la different in this respect Here the very rellgron, Shis to ism, is primarily patriotism, and there is a high degree ot concentration on the national development ot Japan by even its common peo ple. China needs progress. While there may be beauty and romance ( in the age old culture and artistic developments of the cultured folk, yet the appalling mass xf the Chi nese are surrounded by such gen eral conditions as one may imagine from the description ot one tiny corner which Dean Hewitt de scribed and said as he finished, "Draw your own conclusions as to what my Impressions ot China may bo after having encountered this condition in many places.'

Hera aide by side tor a distance which took us two hoars te traverse, there is one houseboat after another as close as they can lay, each moor ed to the bank.
