In the cities, except for sporadic instances, people are giving CP old - superstition, work en are bobbing thejr balr, un wrapping the bandages from tbeir feet and discarding the old tlght flttins styles of dress. In Canton the "Society for the Changing of Oid Cstems is making headway, particularly in a campaign against the yearly custom of having married women pay expensive homage with food, ornaments and dress to seven fairies for seven full days. The authorities there have warned shopkeepers not to stock up for this, festival next year." But the peasant population, nn- able to understand why they should discard habits and relig ious practices that, were good enough lor their forefathers sinee time Immemorial, are taking things into their own hands in many instances, much to the sor row of the police. .

The order" was carried out by the police until they arrived at the temple "An Tsal St Mian." a place of worship used by Tang Harigltea for centuries. It hap pened, too, that the police arriv ed just as the nopulaee was cele brating the repair of the temple and the installation of several new idols. Money tor this had been furnished' by a wealthy wom an of Canton. When the police reached the scene, they marched into the Um ple. seised the Idols, both new mud old. and arrested those re- sponsible for repairing the place, Before the peasants fully com nrehended what had happened. the temple officials and the Idols- were locked up In the police sia tian. Bedlam followed. A eneral alarm was sent out to the sur rnnndinx- countryside that the temple had been looted and hund reds of farmers joined tne villag ers. There was a hurried confer ence, then the mob moved on the police station, broke open the cells, released the temple officials and retrieved their precious laois After the images had been put back in the temple, the mob tried n iinrm the residence of the town's leading citizen, an official who owed his place to the Nation alist rovernment. the Kuomin jinr.

N. T. (AP) An appa ratas that produces artificially In a laboratory an the operating con ditions of a full sized interurban trolley except the wind resistance has been designed at Rensselaer Polytechnic institute. It Is made to save the time required for tests of electrical equipment by the nsual method of running it over miles 'of outdoor railway. In the laboratory a standard interurban truck stands on rails which are a set of wheels. When the truck wheels revolve, they spin the wheels upon which they stand, and the truck remains mo tionless. a Geared to the circular moving rails are mechanical devices that retard them with the effect of running conditions encountered In Auntreda of miles run across country. The effect of grades and other heavy roads is supplied by the city water pressure. The water Is admitted te a drum containing hydraulic brake. By controlling the outlet of the drum, any pres sure np to the full strength of the city pressure may be exerted upon the brakes, produced the ef fects of any desired grade. The equivalent of loads of pas sengers or freight comes from big iron fly . wheel, weighing several tons. Tt 1a a difflmlt to start as a trainload, and Its mo mentum effects the same. Instead of having a cab in the Interurban, the operator alts across the aisle from his labora tory railroad, with all Ms con trols about him, his "train" be fore his eyes, making any "speed" he chooses, but never moving an inch. n n Q memoir- wis. gVribr PRICES AS LOW AS 845.
