RUTH MUSKRAT BACK FROM MEET IN CHINA
Representative From Here Tells About Many Remarkable Experiences of Trip
21 AMERICAN DELEGATES
Many Nations Represented at Conference of World's Christian Students
Ruth Muskrat, c'25, has recently returned from Pelik, China where she was a delegate to the World Student Christian Federation conference held in May. Miss Muskrat represented the Indian students of America and donated to the Conference Committee, which was the executive body of the conference.
Among the 32 nations represented the United States had the largest delegation except China. The 21 American delegates had the greatest number of women represented the only large nation, who has not at some time held land in China. The Chinese women, in particular, were extremely interested in the position of the American women in politics and the social life of this nation, and many questions concerning women's club work and educational activities.
Today is the most interesting period of Chinese history," Miss Mushrat repeated many times. "There is at present a Chinese awakening. Chinese students are studying religion, politics, economic conditions, old traditions." Miss Mushrat feels that China will someday be the most wonderful nation of the world. At present the younger Chinese have swung almost to the extreme limit of unbelief and are opposed to Islam. During the sessions of the World Student Christian Conference there was organized among Chinese thinkers an Anti-Christian Federation which soon became Anti-Religious Federation. Association issued phamplms attacking the World Student Christian Federation which needed violence to prevent delegates from smacking to Chinese student bodies.
Miss Muskrat met many Chinese who had studied in America, who were extremely cordial to the American delegates. These students were from the most powerful of Chinese families, socially and financially, as well as politically. Miss Muskrat reiterated her views on teaching traced the foreign students with far less respect and consideration than either his position in his own country or his treatment of American visitors warranted. She pointed out that it will be men of this class who will shane the foreign policy of the Chinese republic. It is important, therefore, that the American attitude toward the Muslim nation cannot be such to encourage friendly relations between the two nations.
During their stay in China, the American delegation were the guests of both President Hau, and President Liu, his successor. In the opinion of Miss Muskrat, President Liu is very much the stronger man and will be able during his administration to assist materially in the advancement of the Chinese nation. He is paying the highest honor for all States the compliment of planting to send his daughter to an American college to complete her education.
During her visit in Poking, Miss Muskrat was entertained at a **K. B**. banquet given by Miss Esther Pauline Richardson, c14. Among other guests were Miss Mimie Sandberg, f15, Mr. Hugh Kearney, and Ms. Scott. At the dinner these loyal **K. U**. people gave the Rock Chalk yell and recalled old times at the University.
After the close of the conference of the World Student Christian Federation, Miss Muskrat spent some time on a lecture tour to various Chinese schools. In her tour of Switzerland, Russia, Indonesia, India, and the United States, Miss Muskrat stated that it proved to be very interesting to be thrown with such a group from a variety of nations. Among other delegates that Miss Muskrat met and found interesting anomalies, heals, former chancellor of Germany.
As would seem natural in an international gathering of any kind at this time, war was the principal subject for discussion. Miss Mushart stressed that while it seemed impossible to come to any definite agreement on the use of weapons, elemental was very strong. The Chinese had very much respect for the opinions of citizens of the United States, although man Chinese who have been in this country expressed the opinion that the thinking to the majority of Americans is superstitious and by saying that the Oriental mind is illiterate by ungrasp that Americans cover their deepest thoughts with a superficial manner.
The Chinese thinker does not do this. Miss Muskrat found many high school students in China who excelled American college students in ability to express depth of thought in religions and philobolic subjects.
Since her return to the United States, Miss Muskrat has been visiting Y. W. C. A. conferences all over the country and telling of her experience before the women of the University it a Y. W. C. A. meeting very soon.
TELEPHONES WELL GUARDED
Fire Has Small Chance at Western Electric Factory
Few manufacturing centers are as carefully, guarded against the dangers of fire as the 210 acre factory of the Western Electric Company at Chicago, which produces a good part of the world's telephone equipment. Conceivable of the disaster that would involve the country's communication network, he says, the main supply source of the great utility, this company has made its factory a model from the angle of fire protection.
First of all buildings themselves are all of stricty fire-proof construction and all of their different sections are separated from each other by fire-proof walls fitted with heavy steel doors. Automatic sprinklers are present everywhere. No spot in any manufacturing building is further than 15 feet from an automatic sprinkler head, 40 feet from a water hose or from a rack of 1kg in box house and 65 feet from a rack of 2% inch hose.
A practically unlimited supply of water, circulated by powerful pumps, is instantly available, the plant having a reservoir of its own, independent of the city's water plant. Numerous plants throughout the plant, connecting with the fire house, where trained firemen are on duty day and night. Constant thorough housekeeping prevents the accumulation of waste paper or other inflammable material, and ensures patrol the premises constantly.
AMERICAN METHODS APPEAI
Japan Has Demand For Men Trained in Factories
Young men trained in American factory methods are at a premium in Japan, according to I. Kiwade, managing director of the Nippon Electric Company, who is in the United States visiting his associates of the International Chamber of Commerce. Ikwade was the first Japanese business man to form an alliance with American capital after the revised commercial laws of Japan, effective in the year 1898, permitted investment by foreigners. "I think our boys who come to this country for study," he declares, "learn to love it very much." But what has been left of the United States, who come to Japan, do not forget us quickly."
The Nippon Electric Company, like most of the other foreign allies of the International Western Electric Company, makes a practice of sending several of its younger native executives to this country each year for a course in nuclear engineering and of the American organization and of accepting on an exchange basis the services of young men sent to the Orient from this country.

RADIO MAY SUPPLY MUSIC FOR NATION
The day may yet come when the whole country will be able to sway to the music of a single orchestra. The Hotel Commodore in New York City has just completed the installation of a new loud speaking telephone outfit that is attracting considerable attention, particularly among the dancing masters of the East and others who see in it the possibilities of buying their own one central source just as they obtain their light and heat and power.
Admission $1.00
The amplifying and loud-sounding apparatus, which has been installed by the Western Electric Company as part of the permanent equipment of the hotel, is similar on a small scale to that used at Madison Square Garden on Armistice Day when 38,000 people in and about the building were
Dancing Masters See in Recent Inventions Means of Reducing Expenses
jectors have been placed at various points in the ball room and connected through vacuum-tube amplifiers to the radio set. The antenna on the roof of the hotel picks up music sent out by the broadcasting stations and passes the waves through an ordinary type of receiving set in which they amplified. The power amplifiers then increase the strength of those sirmals.
"I have been much interested in this demonstration of dance music by radio," says Joseph O'Brien, President of the Dancers Masters Association, in discussing the Commodore equipment. "First chass music for dancing is essential if we are to perform on stage. This requires music costs us real money. It is an obvious waste for a hundred academies to employ a million orchestra if they can connect by radio with a central station which transmits dance music. If such a station were established, it could readily afford the best orchestra in the world—one made up entirely of top-notchers. Yet the cost to each subcribing academy would be that its programs. Of course, this would not eliminate local musicians because there always will be a need for them to furnish music for instruction and special dancing."

What Other Point Serves 25 Years?
What other pen dare you lend to your roommate?
THERE'S a pardonable dislike to lending the ordinary fountain pen, lest the other fellow's way of writing foul the point, or turn it. Not so with the new Parker Duofold. This lacquer-red classic holds its original point regardless. For this is real native Iridium, set in extra thick gold—as smooth as a polished jewel bearing. And we guarantee it for wear and mechanical perfection 25 years!
And when you consider that the student averages four fountain penn a year, you can see that the Duofold at $7 is the most economical pen you can buy. One Duofold will do all your four years' college work and still be good for your life's career when you graduate.
When that you lay eyes on the black-tipped, leather-reed Dixieland, you'll notice how sharp your fingers are. You'll smooth a smooth point will tell you with "writing ears." You'll must have a finger to hold the tip of the microphone.
You'll see many Parker Pens at college this year. Come in and pick out the point that suits your hand—extra fine, fine medium, or turb. Then take a look at the letter of your hand.
