Alcee believes has arizes of late was putted against the seeing public and given back to their ideals as long as possible and to attempt to combat the impersonal and machine-like methods of mass production. The job before them was to educate the musica.
"A newspaper should be published from the officer's desk and not from the advertising manager's office," Mr Allen said.

Mr. Allen placed his hope of future betterment of the newspaper pollies in the ongoing generation as characterized as the "decay of the Karsna press" he voiced hopes for its future. Mr. Allen, who is a science," he declared, "Karsna is really what Massachusetts might have been." He told us that the production of newspapers, Mr. Allen said, "Running a newspaper is selling the truth and you can tell us where to buy it." The great need is to take it out of the carried goods variety and the uncarried beef or potatoes.

"Changing Conditions and Customs in China" Discussed by Corbet
Former Professor of Peking College Says Renaissance Began in 1917
"Changing conditions and customs in China," were discussed by Charles D. Wong, PhD, in Colleges, Polking, China, at the Y. W. C. A. superintendent Tuesday afternoon.
"The social and intellectual change taking place in China is coming at an enormous pace," Ms. Bertle said, "Contentionism has been a great problem, but like all systems it has its own advantages."
Me. Confess explained the system of Confucius briefly, by stating that even civil service examinations were taken according to the classes. Instead of writing as they would speak, all he wrote must speak into them the deme of the classics.
"The Chinese Romance began in Chim in 1917, through a young man who came to the United States to study agriculture. Instead of studying agriculture, he studied philosophy and when he returned to China which he returned to the Orient immediately with new ideas and he started the Chinese romance."
The first step taken in the renalisation movement, according to Mr. Coombet, was the re-evaluation of the Chinese civilization and the evolution of the disease contained those elements that they thought would be of use to them. As this step met with opposition, they decided to use different tactics. Instead of attacking the system of Contractions, they adopted a more defensive and disease-treated as they arose.
One of the greatest problems confronting the retreated concernees family life in China, and the life of women.
"Family solidarity is the backbone of the race," and Mr. Corbett, and he went on to explain that under the old system the head of the house was responsible, not only for his fami- ture but for a great many Ursula. But in 1980, the head of the house would be responsible only for the immediate family.
The lot of woman is not especially attractive, according to Mr. Carbott. The daughters are expected to marry a man she describes as "a Chinese girl who desired an education Her father was not in favor of sup porting her while she was in school However, she pursued her education and graduated as a memorial died. Hertofe women have not been enigubed in China, but the leader of the Chinese renaissance wrote the biography of the perseverance memorial services were held for her.
"China has great possibilities," Mr. Ma said, "but she has been given little to do in the fight which broke out in 1911, and as a result there are many displeased people."
In conclusion Mr. Corbett said, "Before China can be really peaceful and stable, it has to wait until she is suited to her own environment, rather than trying to use the plans of some countries."
As a result of the communicative
innovation in China, the role of unions
has grown. Employees who are not

discharged without the permission of the

Yesterday Today Always
Never before in its entire existence has the American Red Cross been called into action in disaster relief service of such magnitude as has marked the year ending June 30th,1927.
All told, the Red Cross served in 75 domestic disasters during the fiscal year, and extended relief for twenty disasters in foreign countries. For two of these—Florida and the Mississippi floods—national appeals were made and the response was prompt and generous. In a few others local appeals helped pay the cost. In each case the national treasury of the organization had to supplement the relief fund.
Flood and fire, cyclone and explosion, seemed to follow one another throughout the year with clock-like regularity. Not one month of the twelve was free from some destructive outburst of the forces of nature. Twenty-five of the states were visited by disaster in some form.
While the Mississippi Valley floods were dwarfing all else because of their appalling destruction, the Red Cross was quietly but efficiently acting as your agent of relief in twelve other disasters, occurring simultaneously.
During the same month which saw the great Florida Hurricane with its accompanying toll of destruction blazoned across the front page of every newspaper in the land, the Red Cross was directing relief work following a tornado in Ohio, a devastating fire in Alaska, and floods in Illinois, Kansas and Iowa.
