The evacuation of Pikin by Marshal Chang TBO-lin anil his troops marks the beginning of the end of a long, bitter ordeal of chaos and Woodshed In China.

With their occupation of the northern capital, the Nationalists will become masters of the whole of China proper, as far as the Oreat Wall, beyond which Chang and his forces are now seeking refuge. Whether the new rulers of Pekin will attempt to pursue their enemy Into his Manchurian stronghold remains to be Been. The likelihood is that tbey will not do go until they have consolidated the military position already won, for in Manchuria they would have to reckon nrt only with Chang, who Is still a power on his home ground, but also with the possibility of an armed conflict with Japan.

Voice of the People THEIR IDEAS CLASH. A significant and instructive divergence of opinion txists between the League of Women Voters and the National Women's party with respect to legislation defining the legal status of members of the sex in this country. The League of Women Voters desires the improvement of the legal position of women through "specific rather than general legislation." The National Woman's party wants a constitutional amendment granting "equal rights between men and women." The program of the latter oiganization is more high sounding than the program of the league, but it is not always the high sounding scheme that Is practical, and as a matter of fact, the National Woman's party objective is destructive Instead of constructive, because with the adoption of a constitutional amendment such as Its members advocate, alt the special protective legislation for women, economic and otherwise, which hns been built up through the yeais by hard work and patient effort, would Immediately go by the board. All the check on conscienceless sweatshop owners and all the laws to protect motherhood would be destroyed. Nor do the members of the National Woman's party deny this.

On the contrary they admit It, and Insist that women should be relieved from the "slavery of pecial protection." It probably la unnecessary to remind readers that the personnel of the National Women's party has quite an Infusion of members of the "lunatic fringe" and is well sprinkled with professional "political women." The League of Women Voters has a much broader and saner outlook than Its rival organization possesses. Though fully devoted to the "emancipation" of woman and diligent in fighting for the rights ot women, it admits that there are biological differences between the sexes which materially determine the conditions of life under which each thrives best, and that both potential and actual mothers need certain special consideration, protections and privileges In the economic and social fields it the race Is to be preserved from serious trouble an Injury, It realizes what the National Woman's OF THE SOUTHERN CROSS. the Southern Cross in Its flight to Oakland, California, while it must of the several human lives lost In similar attempts, will rank in aviation history with the pioneer achievement of lust year. latest success has not appreciably of regular communication by air American mainland and our mid-Pacific Its value to progress may nevertheless considerable because It has been free features as characterized some efforts.

Out of the ordinary run of vaudeville Is "A Trip to Holland," headlining at the Oriental. It is a revue of European origin, in which are featured the Vandenbergs. who yodle with remarkable results, and extract harmony from accordeons.

In their support Is a band of eight pieces that reveals much skill individually and In ensemble effects. The act is handsomely mounted. Another novelty is Ramszey's Canaries, a collection of trained songsters who have other claims to recognition as well as their number and plumage. Farrell and Chadwick, with comedy songs and shadowgraphs, have an attractive offering. Two Blossoms are comely young women who sing and dance in pleasing fashion.

Harriet Nawrot and Boys furnish plenty of thrills with their sensational roller skating. "Love Me and the World is Mine" is the feature screen attraction. It Is a stirring story of metropolitan life In which romance and excitement are about equally matched, with attention arresting results. Mary Phllbin, Norman Kerry, George Selgman, Betty Compson and Henry Walthall head the bii: cast, and aid materially in putting the picture across with their act Ing. Other short films are shown.

"Desert Song" in Fourth Week. Perhaps no other feature of "The Desert Song" draws such favorable comment as the singing by Alexander Gray. Harold Stanton and Lyle Evans, together with the male chorus, in the second act. where the Riff tribesmen demand that Gray, as the Red Shadow, give up the woman for whom they have all risked danger, and are defied by their leader. There are other high spots In plenty, but it is here that the Romberg melodies are given a rendition which thrills.

"The Scarlet Woman" Continues. That there is a lively demand for clean comedy which hits off American life with a little touch of satire is shown by the attention "The Scarlet Woman" is attracting at the Garrick, where it enters its fourth week tonight. Zelda Sears and Reita Lambert have written into this sprightly frolic a page or two from smajl town life with an accuracy unmistakable' to anyone familiar with such conditions.

Dr. V. L. Elllcott supplies the following methods of puntying grossly polluted water. To a bucket of river water he added one level spoonful of alum and one-half level fteaspoonful of lime.

He stirred these household chemicals into th water for a few minutes. The water was then filtered through onli-nary muslin and absorbent cotton In this way muddy river water was quickly transformed into a cliar appetizing and reasonably snia drink. Those who want to go into the subject further will find many nun-ilar methods and recipes in a bonk on rural water supplies written by Houston. These methods are i cially useful for bridge crews and i track gangs, road gangs, construction crews, fishermen and hunters. Dr.

Ellicott devised the method for the use of people moving back imo recently overflowed territory. A method of purifying water that contains an excessive phenol taste is that given by Richardson. It follows: Add a heaping teaspoonful of granulated charcoal to a gallon of water. Animal charcoal Is preferred, but wood charcoal will do. The charcoal must be granular and not ground fine.

This is allowed to stand for a few minutes. The water is then filtered through ordinary filter paper. The filtering removes the charcoal which has already absorbed the excess chlorine taste and odor. This method Is especially adapted for use by those who must use vfitc-i iium innr.i miu nvicuiim 1U- caiea near cnnrcoai plants, gas works and certain other industrial plants which discharge much sewage rich in volatile matter into these streams and lakes. It Is said that when the armv sends small bodies of men on Inde-! pendent expeditions, such as seout-', lng parties, the.

provide them with alcoholic iodine and Instruct them 1 to put one drop Into an ordinary cup of water. This kills the typhoid bacillus and the bacteria which cause diarrheas. This method is well adapted for use by hunters I and fishermen. I For large commands operating sway from their base they use I tablets of hypochlorite of lime or bleaching powder. Chiorozont can be used for the same purpose.

Those who try to explain how tht world came to be and how it stays put, assume some original energy, such as magnetism or the lest definite "force of gravitation." Those who would account for life, assume a "vital principle," giving It various names. Those who would explain mind shift around until they arrive at the notion of "mind energy." All these are assumptions, pure and simple. But they do help us ail to talk about what we would like to think about. Suppose there is a mind energy, mechanical or vital in nature, or even both. Just what do somt psychologists see In it? For one thing, the average human being generates and expcmlj what might be called an average amount of this energy.

Different circumstances determine the forms that this energy takes. It may ko in one of two directions. That is. it may find a normal or an abnornnd outlet in behavior. The same energy may create miser or a spendthrift, a dullaid or a philosopher, a thief or a bene-j factor.

A slight chance In tin environment may result in a grfat difference in the results. The who snatches an apple from a peddler's wagon might, if he were in another environment, just at paslly commit a more serious offense or crime. Called into court, what is nil defense? In the hands of a counsel versed in the nature of mind energy, the two rases are said to represent an expenditure of ot and the same sort of energy.

DOUBLE PARKING AND OTHER FAULTS SCORED To the Editor: Police are ever on the alert to arrest motorists who drive 26 miles an hour but will pass right by one who Is double parked on a busy thoroughfare, particularly if he happens to be driving a truck. Motorists who turn out from the curb into a line of traffic without signalling also are preniit-ted to get away with It, while in the residence districts it has come to be quite the thing for icemen and milkmen to leave their wagons in the middle of the streets while making deliveries. More accidents are caused by these than by motorists going 26 miles an hour. CONSTANT READER. SAYS WASTE OF TIME IS TI IRiFTLESSNESS To the Editor: We are in the midst of a definite trend toward shorter working hours In every department of business and industry.

The development of labor-saving machinery is having much to do with this but this is by no means the only reason for these changing conditions. In the days of our grandfathers there was only a limited amount of time available for recreation among the masses of the people. The hours of toil were long. Changed conditions represent a decided Improvement because, as a general rule, people are making use of their spare lime to good advantage Greater time for athletics, outdoor Hfe, travel, reading, studies of the arts and sciences and philanthropic wora are among tne rightful benefits that come from the changing order. It should not be forgotten, that there can be neither progress nor happiness without work.

Our spare time should be made use of to make ourselves the more capable of doing the work we have mapped out for our lives. There is no real pleasure greater than that which comes from successful accomplishment. No matter in what line of activity we may find ourselves, we should realize that performing our dally tasks to ttlA Vtoct tf mil fahilitu krlnna foe contentment of mind thnn could possibly come from Idleness.

The city ought to watch with Interest and approval the experimentation with a modification of the street car express service system In operation on Jefferson avenue which Del A. Smith, general manager of the D. S. Is about to undertake and which probably will be tried out first on Woodward avenue. The scheme Mr.

Smith has in mind provides for a treet car stop every four or five blocks Instead of one every mile as is now the case on Jefferson, and the elimination of the local busses which act as feeders to the express service along that thoroughfare. The general manager of the V. S. R. does not advertise this departure as a necessarily superior device, but he thinks it has some good points and la worth trying out; and we believe he Is right.

The distances between stated stops will not be excessive. The subway stations In New York are bo closer together. And it will be a benefit instead of a hardship for most people to walk two blocks to get a street car. If the auxiliary bus service can ABOUT ST. HONORE.

Some people actually pretend so much, and for so long, that they become used to it, and really believe that their pretension is actuality.

To this human being, however, pretension seems the wickedest of all metal processes. If it is a mental process. People pretend that they are happy when they are not, pretend that they are successful when they have not the least appreciation, or understanding, as to what success must entail. Such people only jog-trot through life. I wonder why things are this way.

i How insincere It is to pretend, how unfair, how cowardly. In New York city, at the present time, a great play Is being enacted. Called "The St ranee Interlude," it somehow shatters this 'idea of pretending and places human action nakedly before every hearer. The child doesn't pretend, because all its faculties are born in their natural state. It is only after years of contact with the falseness of the world end Its dishonest conventions, that the child, in manhood nr Joke en eoncress if the nresitlcnt into special session to complete its dfffi-rence between a sun kissed kissed peach?"

There are those who do not pretend, who sincerely think, strive and live. This is the thing that gives to all life its zest, and which keeps the world from turning around and going back.
