Chefoo, China, Once Seat

Washington.—'‘Chefoo, Chjna, re
cently seized by revolutionists. Is a
city made famous by ‘Fickle Fash
ion,’” says a bulletin from the Wash
ington headquarters of the National
Geographic society.
‘‘The Germans started the hairnet
Industry on a large scale, but the
World war In Europe, and cheap hair
and cheap labor in Asia, caused the
Industry to migrate to the Shantung
province with Chefoo as headquarters.
“Although American women’s money
paid the wages of thousands of women
and girls In and near Chefoo, when
the hairnet Industry was flourishing,
perhaps few of those American women
could locate Chefoo on a map with
out considerable searching. - The city
lies on the north shore of the *Cape
Cod’ of China, which extends Into the
Yellow sea from the main portion of
Shantung province, toward the middle
section of Korea. If a line were drawn
due west from Cincinnati, Ohio,
through Denver, Colo., and continued
across the Pacific, Chefoo would be
one of the first Chinese cities the line
would touch.
\
“Chefoo now ranks third among
Shantung cities, with about 100,000 In
habitant*. A large foreign settlement,
with modem hotels, consular office
buildings and residences bordering
wide, electrically lighted streets, occu
pies a knob of land on the north.
‘The adjoining Chinese quarter Is
congested. Narrow streets, winding
through this portion of the town, are
lined with squatty buildings, mostly
of flimsy construction, but It Is here
that Chefoo bristles with business ac
tivity throughout the day.

borhood farms and villages trudge to

While wandering around over the
