Wheat Asked For
Chinese Victims
Shunghal, Auk. ?An appeal for
surplus wheat of the United States
to save 10,000,000 Chinese flood sufferers,
who he said may die of starvation
before spring unless aided,
was made today by John Karl Baker,
American authority on disasters in
China,
Baker said the flood vyhich still
continued in 10 provinces w^s the
most terrible disaster in China in
.'10 years.
At least $300,000,000 damage had
been done, he estimated, but he would
not even guess nt the number of
deaths, which the "corpse recovery
society" asserted were not less than
8,000 in the flooded Yungtse valley
alone. Hundreds of bodit'K were being
taken from the waters by the so
ciety.
Baker suid he believed a minimum
of 5,000,0(8) bushels of American
wheat would be needed for at least
4 six months. This wheat, lie said,
could be supplied under credit arrangements
between the American
and (Chinese governments.
Oppose "Amos 'n* Andy"
St. Louis, Mo., Aug. 7.-?The Ancient
United Knights und Daughters
of Africu, in nationul convention at
the Metropolitan African Method hi
Kpiscopal Zion church here, has registered
unanimous disapproval of the
radio characters "Amos 'n' Andy."
The ignorance of the two in buiiness
affairs, us well as portrayal of
the dishonesty of "Lawyer Cook,"
another character impersonated, "are
contrary to the facts as we know
them to exist concerning the negro
and hurt us in the eyes of the world,"
a resolution said.
The radio feature was also cha'acterizeo
"as purely u caricature of
the weakness und most undesirable
expressions of negro character, which
tends to cast reflection upon the honesty
and integrity of negro enterprise."

Why Attempt to Define
Reason for Laughter?
Why do we laugh? Why do we ever
begin to laugh? A psychiatrist explained
the whole thing to the British
association. He look the laughter of
a child and divided It neatly .Into ten
stages of development. At eighteen
months the infant had discovered most
of the reasons for laughter wliiclL
adult minds possess.
And, lucky child, It had no more
Idea at the end of It all than the rest
a of us have that laughter was not just
a simple uproarious part of the whole
Jolly business of being alive. Shade
of Habelals, shade of Cervantes, shade
of Kngltsh Shakespeare, why did you
laugh? Would you have been merrier
with a list of reasons for merriment*
In j our hands like the list of "distinct
damnations" which Browning wrote
nhout? Why do we Inugh? Stuff!?

Aviator's "Reckoning"
Bend reckoning means navigating,
or laying the course, taking into consideration
the following factors: Air
speed of the plane, true course from
starting point to destination, magnetic
variation ut start and at destination
which would affect reading of convpnss,
miles between start and destination,
wind. Its direction and velocity
(this would affect speed and direction
of travel of plane). Considering these
factors, one would figure what the
true direction would be; then, applying
the comparative speed and direction
of the plane and how much he
would have to "crab" It to keep him
on his course, be would get his compass
reading for his flight to make
It. ipjat Is dead reckoning.

the Gums
A sound tooth Imbedded In rosetinted
gum Is not only pretty, but It
is an Indication of good health. The
gum which Is bluish red, too pale In
color, or too brilliant a red. Is not
healthy. A gum which is coral pink
is a healthy gum.
The color of a gum Is due to flu,
circulation and. as elsewhere in the
body, rubbing stimulates the circula
tlon. Consequenth. brushing of the
teeth Is not sufficient. There should
be connected with the dally brushing
n careful attention to the tnaxsaging
of the gums.

Ancient Papers Tell of Ali
Pacha's Hoard.
Ather>?, Greece.?Treasure amassed
by the notorious All Pasha of Topelonl,
who terrorized the Hulknns \U)
years ugu, Is being sought near Janlria,
In northern Greece, where the pushu
held his court.
Working from recently discovered j
documents, urelieologlsts have found I
a tunnel which supposedly leuds to 1
the hurled treasures. In the tunnel j
they discovered the skeletons of nine !
workmen hired hy All und killed by 1
him so that he alone would know tin*
hiding place.
The splendor of All's court ut Junlna
has hecoine almost a legend throughout
the P.alkans. Ambassadors of the
great powers cuiue to him and the
poet Iiyron was his guest. He was
successively the ally of Napoleon and
Lord Nelson. At the peak of his
career his glory outshone that of the
sultan in Constantinople. Humble
Start.
Yet Ali arose from a humble beginning.
He was horn in 1741 "at Tepelenl,
a hill village In Albania, ills
father, who held the hereditary oHice
of bey of Tetwdenl; was killed by
neighboring chiefs tWio seized his territory
when All was fourteen years
old.
All was left In the care of his
mother Khamko, u woman of extraordinary
character. She herself
formed a brigand band and inspired
the hoy with her own fierce temper.
Within a few years he regained possession
of Tepelenl and took vengeance
on his enemies. Then, In secure
his own power, he murdej-ed his
brother und imprisoned his mother
on a charge of attempting to poison
him.
In Russian War.
In 1787 All took part in the war
against Russia and was rewarded by
being made pasha of Trikala in Tliessaly
and Derwend-Pasha of Itumella.
His power was augmented when he
succeeded In being nominated pasha
of Janlna.
It was only natural that his power
should arouse the Jealousy of the Sul
tan Mnhmud II, who had formulated
n policy of curbing the strength of the
provincial pashas.
The sultan's pretext for an attack
on All came in 1820 when the "I,ion
of Janinn" violated the sanctity of
Istanbul Itself by attempting to pro
cure the murder of an enemy In the
very precincts of the sultan's palace.
The bulk of the turkish forces under
Khursld I'asha were sent against
him.
Although over eighty, he held his
own for two years. He was forced
to sue for peace in the spring of
1822.
He was granted nn Interview with
Khursld Pasha, was received and dismissed
with friendly assurances. As
he turned to leave the tent he was
stabbed In the back. Then his head
was cut off and sent to Constantinople.
Although All was known to have
amassed much treasure, the existence
of a buried hoard was considered a
legend until the recent discovery of
?the?(locum ent.?Now?the?di&cmmry.?
of the tunnel has stimulated efforts
to flncL tbo treasure.
Peiping Bars Public
Airing of Pet Birds
r8elplng, China.?Hu Jo-yu, Pelplng's
hew mayor, has issued an order forbidding
men to take out their pet
birds for an airing on the streets,
public gardens or parks. The bureau
of public safety and soclul welfare
have been Instructed to enforce the
order.
The order abolishes a picturesque
custom of centuries. The reason 1r
that the custom "leads to idleness nnd
indolence, and, therefore, is contrary
to public morals."
Pelping pet birds have been accustomed
to daily airings for centuries.
Men of fashion usually take out their
I own birds, walking about with them
in the parks, or taking them to teahouses,
where they can hear other
birds of quality sing and perhai>? pick
up a few new notes.

Ruins Show Design of
Ancient Indian House
In a plowed cotton field in Mississippi
the complete plan of a prehistoric
Indian house was discovered recently.
according to Henry II. Collins.
Jr.. of the L'nlted States National
museum. The plan showed three shallow
circular trenches, the outermost
of which was (50 feet In diameter. The
builders set posts firmly two feet deep
within the trenches as supports for
tiie roof. The wall pf the structure
was very likely ^ of wattle-work of
reeds, plastered with clay.
Traces of a tire pit wee Inside the
house. In the outermost trench were
found kitchen and household refuse,
including liinios of deer, bear and
smaller animals, fish Jaws, arrow
points, a pipe and much broken pottery.
Some of the pottery was of a
red-and-whlte kind, heretofore found
only in Arkansas.
Mother Cat Adopts Rabbit
Another supposed law of unimal life
has been proved to have an exception
and the proof can be seen at the shop
of M, \V. Hergel at Bangor, Maine,
where an old mother cat nurses and
cares for a tin.v wild rabbit along with
her litter of kittens. Mr. Bergel found
the little creature in the woods and
brought It home. He wus at a loss
as to how ho would enre for the rabbit
until ho thought of placing It with
the kittens. Mother cat gar.ed in a
sort of perplexed manner at the
strange visitor and then, as though
taking pity on him, reached out her
paw and drew him to her. Now the
rabbit is her favorite kitten.?Boston

The Parasite
The late Secretary of War Good
said at a luncheon in Washington:
"It's wrong, when war comes, to conscript
the youth of the country while
thejige of the country stays at home
and profiteers. So we must have conscription
for nil, or conscription of
none.
World war reminds me. in its shameless
Injustice, of young Jones.
"The lazy and Impecunious young
Jones said to his oldest friend:
"'Well, I'm going to get married.
Congratulate me.'
" 'I do,' said his friend. 'But what
will you live on? Love?'
"'No.' said Jones. 'Love's father.'"

"'Well, friend, why don't you move
