CUKSE CAPITAL REMOVED TO
NANKING
At was generally expected the Nationalist!;, upon the successful
n of their Northern campaign which resulted in the unifi-
of the original eighteen provinces of China, removed the capi-
tal from Peking in the north to Nanking on the banks of the Yangtze
jivai in Central China. The leaders in the Nationalist movement are
Jfcr the most part young men from South China. Many of them have
fttM wlMated abroad. Most of those who have gone abroad to study
kin been to Japan or to America. The leaders of the Northern gov-
were old men. Many of them were practically illiterate and
upon their military power for their potations. In order to
lise the ehange from the old days of the Manchu Kmperors who
IWlod in Poking from 1644 to 1911 and the advent of the democratic
TCfime of the Chinese Republic even the name of the city of Peking
Jtta been changed. "Peking" meant "Northern Capital". The city
la now re-named "Peiping" meaning "Northern iCty." "Nanking"
•f "Southern Capital" thus comes to be the one and only capital!
la China as it was in the Ming dynasty centuries ago. Some opposi-:
tion to the removal of the capital from I'eking was voiced by the
norchants of Peking but it failed to make much of an impression
M government official*. I'eking has been more important politically
than commercially for a long timi
the official class to the South the city has been hard hit anil many
firms face bankruptcy. Om coul easily imagine th • ■ effect upon
the city of Washington should the capital be removed to St. Louis,
for example. I'eking is still of great interest to the sightseer but un-
less something is done to em ouragi anil develop industry -he will
soon become a city of past glories instead of it < ity of present achieve-
ments or of future hopes.
POLITICAL CHANGES IN CHEFOO
Chefoo went over to the Nationalists peacefully on June 13th. On
July 23rd aftera short battle it was recaptured by Northern forces.
| September 2nd it again went over peacefully to the South. During
the six weeks that the Northerners held the city they re-opened the
I opium dens and taxed them heavily, raised $170,000 by a direct levy
I upon the merchants and instituted a number of new taxes. The peo-
! pie are, for the most part, happy over the change to Nationalist al-
legiance and the new flags are flying all over the city.
BRIDGE LUNCHEON
Miss Goldie Dodge entertained Tuesday with an enjoyable bridge
luncheon. Miss Dodge had a pretty arrangement of Autumn leaves
and chrysanthemums for decoration on mantle and buffet. Vases also
held these colorful Autumn blooms, and stressed the Thanksgiving
suggestions in score cards which found places at the tables for the
guests. The luncheon menu consisted of home baked ham, French
peas, sweet potatoe with toasted marshmallow, congealed fruit salad
and coffee, folowed by a dessert of individual pumpkin pie, salted
nuts and mints. In the games Mrs. R. K. Nail scored high and re-
ceived a beautiful box containing memorandum cards. She was also
fortunate in the high cut and was awarded a pretty basket of home
made candies. Those who enjoyed Miss Dodge's pretty party were

would result ifrom the cutting off of their incomes, and the result
to their creditors, are absolutely indescribable."

WHY BLAME THE CAT?
In the good old days when grandma and grandpa were young,
it was considered an ill-omen to have a black cat cross one's path.
Doubtless many of the dear old folk would exclaim "I told you so"
if they heard the story of John oCffey, reported from Muskogee,
Oklahoma.
Apparently the black cat of this tale crosscd aFrmer Coffey's path
at a very inopportune moment. The fanner, in attempting to light
his pipe, broke the match, which dropped into a kerosene can. An
unfortunate accident for the cat. The explosion that came instan-
taneously ignited the poor feline and it scampered frantically for the
barn, where it was consumed by flames along with the building and
the hay stored in it.
"A black cat—I told you so". . . .yes, but why blame it on
the cat? Why hav an open can of kerosene standing about and why
light a match near such a can? Common sense dictates that all in-
flammable and explosive liquids should be kept in tightly closed metal
containers and in a safe place. The black cat from his happy hunt-
ing grounds knows they are dangerous, and The National Board of
Fire Underwriters supplies figures showing that the annual fire loss
from careless handling of petroleum and its products was over $14,-
000,000 in 1926.

TREATY REVISION
At the present time, Dr. c I Wang, tin \ationaii-t Ionian M i n -
liter, a graduate of the I'niversity of Virginia and tin- son of an
Episcopal clergyman, who is a former Y M. C \ secretary, is very
busy negotiating for the revision of the .so-called "unequal treaties"
The treaties are called 'unequal" because most of them w->•-■ fort
ed upon China after wars waged successfully against her In \\ - ■ -t. rn
powers and they grant privileges anil rights to tin \\ ■ stern povv.-rs
which are not allowed to China in th< Western count ri- The treat-
lei are one-sided. The Western powers recognized this fact at tin
Washington Conference in 1922 and promised to rivi-- them when
Conditions in China warranted such a revision. One of the principal
planks in the platform of the Kuomingtang or Nationalist party ba-
boon the revision or even the abrogation of these treaties Several
at the nations having treaties with China have voluntary's stalled
negotiations for the revision of existing or expired treaties. Although
the American treaty has several years to run a new treaty granting
tariff autonomy "in principle" to China *a- signed recently in 1 '< k

China. Hence it makes no real effort to put into • ft.-t tariff auto-
nomy and release revenues for tin new government. It- chief .ignifi
