i
Wearing of Queues and Footbinding
Are Institutions of High Import
ance in the "Flowery" Land
Through the writings and reports '
of foreign observers most of us have
recently been Induced to believe that 1
all Chinese men have cut off their <
queues ami that little girls and women ;
are no longer subjected to the tortures (
of footbinding. Hut neither of these ,
things Is true.
It Is true that there are not many
queues left In the cities In which there
Is a strong foreign influence, nor ure
there many high class Chinese any- '
where who continue to cling to this
one time .so highly vulued adornment; i
hut If you would kuow something
about the uncompromising uttltude of |
the people as a whole you must get together,
us 1 did, a little ctKt caravan
und strike out into^ the ruilroadlesa
und uewspaperless interior.
On Diuuy a day's Journey across
country, through villages and towns
and considerable cities, you would not (
see h single shorn head, and ull your
Ideas about the awakening and the rejuvenation
of China would And themselves
hopelessly at vurlunce with an
inescapable conclusion that anything
! In the nature of an actual change In
tills uma/.lng land will probably taks
piace in a 100 gradual way to lie currently
observable.
As for the cruel practice of binding (
i the feet of little girls, I ?ee<l only say (
that on u Journey in the spring of this
I jear I covered a large part of Xhan!
tung and Southern Chih-li, and except
in Christian mission schools did not i
see one single little girl over It years
of age with unbound feet. And a little i
girl with newly bound feet is u most
pitiable creature. As she grows older
either she begins to get used to the
agony or her developing vanity helps
her to hear it. Hut when she is u little
girl, Just emerged from footfree childhood,
the thing she is compelled to
live through Is not to be described.
She will sit for days on end and do
nothing hut cry?unto herself, as It
were?softly, helplessly, hopelessly.
And when she staggers out to play she
stumps around on her heels, holding
her little bound toes up, uml one Is |
likely to observe her at any moment
giving way to a spasm of unbearable
pain. It probably is the most dreadful
thing in the world. Hut, strange as it
may seem, a 4 Inch foot Is still un us- 1
set to u Chinese woman. 1
To be sure, the modern cities aru <
filled with modern women with tag
feet?Nos. 2 or 3 at most, ordinarily, |

are naturally small?and such women

and fashionable restaurants foxtrotting,
twostepping and even toddling to s
American Jazz music with smart
young men from the universities, hut
the mass of tlie people 1ms not ceased <
even in China to make up the hulk ,
of the population, and the bulk of tha
('hinese population is still steeped in |
tiie traditions of millenniums past.?

Carbon Black. 1
iu spite of the fact that West Vlr- 1
glnia's output showed a great de- \
| crease for 1020, it still remains the ,
| leading state in the production of car|
hon black. West Virginia is followed
! in order by Louisiana, Wyoming, MonI
tuna, Kentucky, and I'enusylvunia.
; Louisiana, however, is making great
| advances iu lite production of enrhou
| black, uiul its output may soon exceed '
that of West Virginia. There is less
demand iu Louisiana for natural gas |
for fuel, but in West Virginia and
I'ennsylvnidu the consumers have de- |
munded that the supply be reserved
for domestic use. This fact, together '
with the development of largo supplies '
iu Louisiana and Wyoming, has
caused the carbon-black iudustry to
| move |i? states where there is at pres[
ent little demand for natural gas.
Carbon black is a fluffy, velvety
j black pigment, frequently confused
! with lampblack, which is gray in color
and which is produced from oil or
| other carbonaceous material. Eor
; many of its uses carbon black Is suj
perior to lampblack in quality, but
| Tor some uses, as for certain pigments
! In puints. lampblack Is superior.

"Was he a tall old chap, about fifty,

"Why, yes," answered Smith; "howlid

The Massachusetts Forestry Association
offers as a premium, to
plant 5,000 tree seedlings, approximately
five acres, free of charge for any,'
town or city in the State which will
legally establish a town forest of 100
acres or more in area during the calendar
year 1922. Fitchburg, Massachusetts,
holds the unchallenged distinction,
so far as the association
knows, of having established the first
town forest in the United States. Townforests
in Europe prove very profitable,
the inhabitants of such towns
in many cases arc handed checks instead
of tax bills.
A new method of blasting coal by
?ater instead of ptiwder will diminish
iisastcrs, it is believed. The apparatus
consists of a long nozzle that
us cxatuy inio inc noie oorea by the
miners for the powder charge. A few
quarts of water injected into the hole
drives out the gas in the coal and an- j
other charge of water cracks and
breaks the coal, making it soft enough
(o bring down with a pick. It is said
the new method is a success in England
and certain parts of America.
The high prices asked for coal by
American operators and dealers, together
with the high freight rates,'
has resulted in British st>ft coal be- j
ing brought in large quantities for
;encral consumption in New York and
Boston and the West Indies. The
market of thc West Indies have been'
in the hands of American exporters j
Tor years.

day quite near a young widow and her
little girl. The child came over to him,
and asked:
"Please, sir, arc ytnt married?"
The man smiled and said that he was

turned and called to her mother:
"Ma, he ain't married. What else do

Hunting For l.ori Fortune.
Five Missouri brothers are conducting
a search for the mythical pot of
gold at the end of the rainbow, albeit
they entertain high hopes of really
finding a treasure estimated to be
>4,000,000. The treasure was said to
have been hidden in an old mine more
than 200 years ago by Spanish missionaries,
who were forced to flee for
their lives before bands of untamable
Apache Indian raiders. The location
of the mine, acording m the tale, lies
about fifteen m les south of the Mexican
border and up in the mountain
The padres buried their treasure, it is
said, and then sealed the mine.
Only one of the five brothers is on
the actual scene where the excavation
is being conducted. He is Frank
P. Magee. a mining engineer, of El
Paso. He, together with his assistant,
Antonio Mendozza, has presented
such evidence of success that Magee's
brothers and several El Paso businesmen
arc pushing the exploration zealously.
Mcndoza has beer, searching
for the buried treasure for the pasl
eighteen years.
Frank Magee declared in a receni
letter writtentohisbrothers, John, J. A
and Vance Magee, all of Macon, thai
as far as the excavation had proceeded
they had found the mine barricaded
with heavy cedar and mahogany timber.
Tom Magee, of Moberly, another
brother, is also interested in the search
for gold.
"There is authentic history that the
ore from this mine was so valuable
that it was carried by pack-mules and
ox-trains to Mexico City a distance ol
1.200 miles, for smelting," wrote
Magee. "I'm banking more on thai
than I am on finding the millions stored
away by the old padres to keep it from
falling into the Indians hands. So fai
as our investigations have progressed
the stories of the hidden treasure have
been borne out. and Senor Mcndoza. .1
capable mining man, is confident thai
it is here."
Eighteen years ago Meliton Ordaz
a postmaster at Chihuahua City, gavt
Mendoza the document describing the
location where Magee is now conduct'
ing his operations, with the under
standing that he was to be a partnei
in the enterprise. It was Ordaz whe
related the story of the mine bein*
sealed on the approach of hostile tribes
of Indians.
The mine is known as La Mina Perla
and it includes three shafts. Th<
main shaft is through a fissure in th<
rocks. Signs of ancient drills can b<
seen on all sides. In the shafts ar<
numerous well-preserved ladders mad*
from mahogany and cedar. Presum
ably the miners of olden times usee
these ladders to take their ore to tht
surface.
Magee has written that the peopl*
along the border are considerable
agitated over their explorations anc
that several newspapers have sen
writers to see how near they are getting
to the treasure. He said that the;
have worked in nearly 600 feet in on*
of the shafts and that the cedar anc
mahogany timbering continues all th<
way.
One theory, that is given mucl
credence by several mining engineers
has it that the old mine was a ricl
producer and that a great deal ol
gold bullion had accumulated and was
awaiting shipment to the smelters a
Mexico City when news of the raidint
Apaches came, and hurtied measure'
were taken tn keep the treasure oui
of the hands of the Indians, who had
evidently heard of the contemplated
shipment and had made plans tc
seize it.
