T"fT T IlILE the eyes of the west- - six-tub- Y ern world have been turned during recent weeks toward Shanghai, headquarters for white soldiers and sailors and marines In China, the footsteps of thousands VV of refugees, white and yellow, have been directed toward that same city, their hope of safety. Ktangsu, the province in which Shanghai lies, Is one of the most densely populated political units In theworld. It Is only slightly larger than Indiana, and even under normal conditions ten times ns ninny people live there ns inhabit the Iloosler stn'e. Chinese from all parts of the republic, speaking half a dozen different dialects, and foreigners from all corners of the globe make up the conglomerate mass of humanity. Even the country districts are so congested Hint the largest farms In the province are little1 more than small family truck gardens to the American farmer. They seldom cover more than three or four acres. ICInngsu Is the pioneer province of railroading In the Celestlnl empire. The first road was built In 1876 from Shanghai to Woosung. a distance of 12 miles. But KInngsu owes much of Its development to Its water routes before the railroad ratno, particularly to the Yangtze river and the Grand canal that flows nearly the entire length of tlie province. For hundreds of years the canal wns filled with shipping and was the only means of communication between the north and the south; but today much of the canal Is In ruins, due largely to the construction of a railroad along the route nnd the development of HunKInngsu river for navigation. dreds of small canals branch ofT Into the back country.

We go to the phone and pick up "Number, plea u z," says a sweet voice at the other end of the wire. We give the number and In a moment bear a heated conversation. "No, he did not deliver the parcel on Thursday." "Cut, madam, I I told thought one station without picking np others is called "selectivity." Of course, the government attempts to allot sufficiently different wave lengths, or natural vibrating periods, to the different stations so that no difficulty Is encountered In selecting between them by tuning the receiving set. But there are so many broadcasting stations nt the present time, that only the utmost Ingenuity In set design lins made possible the excellent selective performance of modern-dasets. Most radio Interference Is caused by "static and by electrical devices which sot up radio waves. "Static Is due to lightning discharges, often several hundred miles away. . 5 Is recognized ns clicks and crushes In the phones or speaker.

Shanghai Is Big and Busy. Nearly 2.000,000 of Klangsn's people live In Khnngluil. Thousands of the population are employed In the city's There are more thriving Industries. than fifty cotton mills and numerous silk, rice nnd flour mills, and hundreds of large factories producing mntclies. cigarettes. Jewelry, pottery and many other articles. Lying In a protected location 12 miles up the Whnngpoo river, Shanghai Is one of the finest commercial ports In Chinn. As one approaches the harbor he sees nearly ten miles of dorks stretching along the river vessels from front. Huge ocean-goinall parts of the world come and go almost In a steady stream, fjst motor boats dart here nnd there through the harbor, nnd the shipping Industry nnd factories along the river front roar with activity. One coutd easily Imagine himself entering a busy New England port tf It were not for the s'ng-sonchatter of orientals emnnnting from Chinese Junks nnd sanmnns that dot the water nnd duster about tlie docks.

White mens working hours might, have been framed by a visionary Socialist for the year 2000. In the piping times of peace many offices open nt ten o'clock, grant a rest period from twelve to two. and close at four so that the harassed merchant and hanker and clerk may hurry away to club or casino or tennis court, golf links or houseboat for what Robert Louis Stevenson called "the real business of life." thoroughThe Bund, the water-fron-t fare of occidental Shanghai, Is norunmally crowded with prosperous, hurried Westerners', and Bubbling Is Spring road of an afternoon men dressed thronged with stylishly and women of leisure and fashionable emilnages that would do credit to Fifth avenue, the Champs Elysee or the Ring strasee In the days of Vienna's glory. The city Is thoroughly cosmopolitan. Perhaps no other city of the world surpasses It in this respect except Cairo. The Foreign Settlement. There are two Shanghais: the native city, and the foreign concessions. Shanghai was one of the first Chinese -- while the set Is In operation. This keeps the "A" current up nt nil times. The alternating current from- the electric light socket Is carried through a series of plates, parallel to each other, the plates being, arranged In pairs. Each pair of plates consists ol two dissimilar solids of such a nature In respect to each other electrically the alternating currant of the bouse currant line In flowing through them Is changed to the current needed for A batteries.

British merchants who moved In during the next few years obtained a concession to manage their municipal affairs in their settlement. The French and American residents Joined In the arrangement, hut Inter the French set up a municipality of their own which Is maintained separately today. Residents of other nationalities have thrown In their lot with the British and Americans, nnd today about 20 nations have arrangements with China In connection with trade nnd extraterritorial rights in Shanghai. By far the larger pnrt of the population of the entire urban group Chinese, French and International that bears the name Shanghai," is Chinese, hut the concentration Is not dirty, greatest In the smelly native city. So well have the foreigners governed their concessions that Chines have flocked to those sections. The International clt.v Is a favorite residence for retired Chinese officials from other parts of the country. It lias become a modstreet paveel, too, In the matter-- of ments, sanitation nnd police methods, and since the revolution has been th-o- nnrrow-streete- d, copied extensively by Chinese cities In other parts of the country. After riding two hours north of Shanghai by railroad, through fertile, flat country to the Grand canal, one finds himself among five million more people of KInngsu within a radius of 40 miles of Soochow. Many of the people In the outlying districts are engaged In poultry raising and even the city people take pride In their flocks, particularly ducks. Millions of KInngsu eggs that are not locally consumed or shipped fresh are dried or frozen, and shipped all over the world. On the west of the city are a hundred beautiful lakes and the Great lake sixty miles wide In some places Is Just over the beautiful low ridge of hills on the east, one of the few hilly spots In fertile, flat Kiangsu. Other Large Cities Near By. For centuries Foochow has been the principal Chinese silk market. But Its husfness Is not confined to silk and poultry, for In the bazaars that line the streets and even surround the temple of Buddha, one can bay anything from a bird cage to an outdoor haircut, or a good pill. Nearly all Soochow streets that are not Venetian style are narrow and are monopolized by rickshaws and If one does not ride, wheelbarrows. one Is apt to get poked by the bars of a 'rickshaw.

Scholars of Nanking were holding civil service tests several hundred years before Columbus sailed for the West Visitors o Nanking are at once attracted to the tomb of the first emperor of the Ming dynasty. An avenue, a mile long, approaching the tomb, commands a splendid view of the city. At one end of the avenue Is a tower containing a large Mack marble turtle, the Chinese symbol of long life. On Its back Is a marble tablet eulogizing the emperor who Is burled at the other end of the avenue. Between the tower and the tomb the avenue is lined on both sMe with sculptures of elephants, camels, lions and tigers, facing one another, and now and then one sees an enormous statue of a great warrior standing ns a sentinel guarding the funeral way. The tomb and avenue are decaying and the marble statues present a peculiar sight standing In a row In the Stones are- - piled middle of a field. high on the olephnnts backs, thrown there by Chinese who believe If the stones thrown remain on the elephant, they will bring good luck. A good many children have asked for stories from time to time ou things that belong particularly to big cities, as well as to country places.

On Saturday morning Uncle John said; Were going to see, now, how a great many people lose money, and make money. And I am jsure you will both say you have never seen grown-u- p men act In such a queer way." Douglas nnd Dorothy were very curious as they went along with Uncle John down a narrow street and then Into another street, where they saw ever so many men waving their arms and talking with their hands. exclaimed "Oh, what a shame! Dorothy. "What do you mean?" asked Uncle John. "What seems such a shame? The men are all deaf and dumb! Watch them with their talking fingers. They are making signs to the men In those office windows above, said Uncle John. "They are finding out how much they can ask In selling and buying. They are not really deaf and dumh." "But I dont see anything to buy," aid Dorothy.
