Hwang IIo Called
'China's Sorrow'
Tortuous River Has Cost
Millions of Lives and
Millions in Wealth.
S
(Prepared by National OrvKtapldc Society,
WtmlifnK Wm. l>, C.)?WNll Service.
WHICH Japanese military
forces have advanced westward
In .iehol, bringing tho
tipper Hwang Ho or Yellow
river ,of China closer to Iniernatlonal
complications, life on the tortuous
stream has gone on lu Its own Inimitable
way.
Tho Hwang Ho Is one of the most
extraordinary rivers of the world. Its
disastrous Hooding has cost the Chinese'millions
of lives and millions In
wealth through the destruction of
homes and furm lands, and because
of this It has earned such titles us
"China's Sorrow," the "Ungovernable,"
and the "Scourge of the Sons of llan."
At times It has changed Its course
over as much as '250 miles In a single
flooding season. Today It empties Into
the Yellow sea north of the Shantung
peninsula, hut before 1852 It debouched
Its loess laden waters thrbugh
a channel south of that peutnsula.
It Is the second largest river in
China, yet in all Its course, from its
headwaters, high up In the Kunlun
range, in Tibet, all along Its 2,500mlle
path to the sea. It Is not navigable
for steamships or other deepdraft
cruft. Its course is alternately
either too swift and broken by turbulent
rapids or widens and becomes
too shallow and tilled with sand bars
to allow the use of large boats.
But over some 700 miles of Its
course, ns it winds through Knnsu
Province and along the edge of Inner
Mongolia, from Sluing to Paotow, plies
an interesting raft trutilc that has
been carried on for centuries.'-'Chinese
literature confirms the fuetithat
v.here the earlier Sons of Han 2,000
years ago were using sheepskin and
oxhide rafts Identical with those
which one finds in use today.
There are two types <\f rafts, one
using as buoys inflated sheepskins
and the other large., oxhides which
are stufled with wool and then tied
up to keep them # water-tight. The
sheepskin raffs vary in size, according
to the use for which they are in*
* tended, ranging from ns few as 12 or
15 skins on the small one-man rafts to
as many ns 500 In the large freight
rafts. For the large oxhide rafts some
120 hides are used.
Before being used, the raw oxhides
are treated on the Inside ^with snlt
and oil to preserve and waterproof
them ns well as keep them flexible.
Alr^Fllled Sheepskins Keep Th'le
Hwang Ho Raft Afloat.
Raw hides cost about $10 in the local
currency ($2.50 gold) and are considered
about twic^ ua valuable after
they have been properly prepared.
Consequently, the large freight rafts
are often vrflued at aa much as $000
gold, but the hides are useful as buoys
for three years and are then sold in
the Paotow market for ?ho$? leather.
Rafts Easily Made.
Raft-maklng Is a comparatively easy
task. To a simple framework of poles
lashed securely together are fastened
the hides or sheepskins. Even the
stuffing of the hides with Tibetan wool
is a simple process, but when It comes
to inflating 500 sheepskins on one
raft before a voyage, that is a Job!
Without doubt, the industrious raftsmen
can make strong claim for the
record in the windiest of all ship
launchlngs!
The navigation of the rafts In the
down-river trade Is entirely in the
hands of the Moslem Chinese, who
form a considerable percentage of the
population of the Kansu district. Life
is not easy on the rafts, with all the
contrasts of heat and cold and the
strenuous labor involved in manipulating
the clumsy transports through
the rapids or in freeing them, once
they have stranded on a sand bar;
but these hardy raftsmen are a happy
and friendly lot.
The great, irregular, S-shaped portion
of the course of the Hwang Ho
through Kansu and Mongolia, over
which the rafts operate, is carved for
a large part of the way through the
extensive loess-plain region. Here
and In the Wei Valley, whose tributary
waters are gathered unto the
Hwang Ho about 40 miles west of
Lanchow, was the cradle of the Chinese
race; but through the centuries
great quantities of loess, or sandy
loam, have been blown across these
lands, submerging numerous cities
and making desert many wide areas
which were once fertile farming districts.
This yellow loess, carried in
suspension In the water, has given
the river and the Yellow sea their
names.
Today there are only a few fertile
localities In the Ilwang Ho valley,
such as those around Lanchow and
Nlngsia. These are Intensely cultivated
oases that have been kept productive
through Irrigation, and In their dls
trlcta rafts carry on considerable lo
?
eal tr:n?* port of vegetables, dates, wn
termehms, a nil grain to the city markets.
The long distance freighting on
the Imi*?? raits. however, Is largely
devoted to transport of quantities of
wool, skins, hides, and ocber produce
of the Tlhelan region down to the
curavan center add rail u I village
of I'aotow, whence these it tic lea of
Commerce can he sent hy r>'.l to Tientsin
and ultimately find.' ? trlbuUon!
to world markets.
The majority of the large cargo
rafts start from sitting, some distance
Upstream on tho Sitting llo. a trlbu-1
tary of the Hwang Ho; hut to tltese
are also added other cargo which
leaves from the Important caravan
center of Lanchow, that Ilea on the
historic "old silk road" Itetwccn China,
Turkestan, and tho West. .
Hard Work Up 8tr?alm,
The rafts can bo managed with comparative
ease as they float downstream,
but their great resistance and
their clumsiness make it practically
impossible for them to be poled upstream,
even In quiet water. They
are taken apu'rt at the end of the
voyage and the skins are carried back
overlund to the place of departure.
In the sprlngtline, as soon as the
| Ice has cleared from the river, which (
Is frozen from the end of November
to the beginning of March, the rafts
are assembled.
Oxhide buoys stuffed with wool no
doubt originated through the scheme
of crafty raftsmen to "bootleg" wool
past the customs olllclals and thereby,
escape duty. Today, although the authorities
know that It will be sold at
the end of the trip, the wool still
rides on down to Paotow, escaping all
of the toljs and duties imposed on
the other cargo.
Cargoes loaded, farewells said, the
rafts push ofT on the first of the two
Journeys that are made each year.
They slip past water wheels that line
the river banks, which are raising
water to tho thirsty .fields in the
Lanchow region; then past the city's
'walls, and under the only steel bridge
that spans the river for many hundreds
of mllesi
Some fifteen miles below I.nnchow,
where the village of Hslnghultsu Is
perched on a rocky cliff, the current
is swift and all hands nre called to
man the large tillers, H9 the rafts
head down through the granite gorge,
where the river makes an abrupt curve
and then follows a northwesterly
course.
. All the way downstream to Chungwel
the ruftsmen must navigate
through rapid after rapid. Helow
Chungwel the course widens as It enters
the Ordos, and, except for the
passage through the fertile district
ardund Ningsia, becomes a monotonous
passage through desolate yellow
wastes all the way to Paotow.
Grilling Voyage.
The great loop around the Ordos
desert Is a slow, grilling voyage during
the summer months, when the
sun throughout the day beats down
relentlessly In a blinding glare on the
water and on the shimmering sand
banks.
The raftsmen share the tasks of
^guiding the crnft, repairing punctured
skins, releasing the ungainly floats
when stranded on sand bars, and cooking
their meager meals on dock.
After weeks on the way, everyone
Is glud when the rafts are brought
safely to Paotow, the Journey's end.
The caravan town sprawls on a.
barren, dun-colored hillside of sand,
some little, distance from the river.
Low, squat adobe und brick buildings
line the narrow streets and winding
alleys that find outlet through
the guarded gateways of the rambling
city walls. Caravansaries and homes
are concealed behind closed gateways
and high earthen walls.
Here, in the bazaars and In ..the
cases of Itinerant venders, the raftamen
find majiy oddments of western
produce for which they can bargain
>, to take back to their families. Trains,
that come whistling out to this outpost,
bring many things from Tientsin
and Pelplng marts that are not
readily available farther Inland.
1 At last, when all of the cargoes
have been turned over to the wool
and hide merchants, the rafta are
taken apart and the hides folded up
and packed on donkeys or camels for
the long Journey home by caravan.
Breaking an Apple Easy
if You Know the Secret
Have you ever seen anyone grasp
an apple In his or her hands and
break it clfflnly In half without apparent
effort? If you have, notes a
writer in tho Washington Star, you'll
remember bow strong you thought the
breaker was, and ln>w you wished you
could do it. Maybe you tried it. and
found your finger tips digging holes In
the apple, or possibly breaking it, but
the break never was clean.
This stunt Is like almost every other
athletic feat?you have to know how
to do it before you can succeed. Then,
when you know how, you have to prac
tlce. Here's the way to break tin apple
:
Grasp the apple with both bands
closing your palms over it, so that th<
fingers of one hand nre pointing ir
the opposite direction from the flngen
i of the other. When you are holding
the apple this way your elbows shoult
be pointing outward and your twt
i forearms should make a straight line
i Get the apple as close your ches
as possible, then roll your shoulderj
. forward, getting your elbows as
( front of you as you can. +
, Now roll your shoulders back, brinj
I your elbows In again, and twist thi
I hands out. If yhtt have gripped tlx
? apple tightly enough, you'll find It ha:
broken cleanly In half, and you'll b<
holding half In each hand! t**

cuts, and equipment for cunning in
glass and tin, the bulletin gives many
recipes and methods for canning
beef, pork aud chicken. A cutting
chart makes easier the handling and
use for canning of beef and pork,
and a processing, schedule makes
easier the cooking processes found
moat satisfactory in canning various
fresh meats.

THE MODERN NEWSPAPER
II .. S
Its Sole Aim Today Is To Serve Its
Readers
We .believe, with the Uto (Iowa)
Independent that Nowspapers were
never so froe from the truckling spirit
never so unqualifiedly devoted to the
popular welfare, uninfluenced by hope
of direct, s<?M\sh gain, as they have
been of late years and are now.
That newspaper makes thia comment:
"Wo frequently hear it said
that the old-time independent spirit
of the newspaper is gone; that its
editorial policy is now subservient- to
the business end of the plant.
Yet this is not true. There is more
unselfish idealism in the average
local newspaper than in any other
business enterprise. It frequently
speaks out in the way which it believes
will be for the good of the nation
and of the community, regardless
of what the consequences may be
from a business standpoint. This is
more than the average business man '<
will do or could do.
Of course, the local newspaper is
now on a firmer business basis than
papers were back in tho ?urly days.
This is why it is still improving from
year to year, why it is giving its
readers a constantly better newspaper
and why it is increasing its influence
for gbod in the community. And it
does its boosting in most cases without
any hope of material reward.',/?
