| SON OF THE GODS Sam Lee, who looks "white" but is oup- ' d to be Chinese, is a student at stern, finds that a social prejudice exists agaist him on account of his sup- posedly Oriental blood, Spud Gorham and Kicker Wade induce Sam to take them out in his expensive car, with t".eir girl companions, but the party breaks up suddenly when Alice Hart discovers that Sam has come to college s the son Lee Ying, a wealthy Chinese importer of New York, CHAPTER III. Bam Lee's experience at the Bird Cage wag not the first of its kind: he was by wav of becoming accustomed to humiliations of oye sort and an- other. He had come to [astern ex- pecting to find a tolerance as broad as the ocean. Among his people the quest of knowledge is considered the most honorable of pursuits and re-! spectful homage is paid fo the humbl- est of students even by the high-born and the wealthy. .In. the Chinese mind intellect has dignity second only to old age. But ne had found it to be quite diTerent with Americans.

Such at | slammed shut in his face, liest young man in the whole world and he took a melancholy satisfaction out of indulging in self-pity, He had been attracted by Alice Hart, no deny- ing it. For an hour, hand in hand with her, he had trod the lotus path. Gates had opened, he had glimpsed enchanted gardens, then they had Race pre- judice again! Once before he had suffered a sim- ilar hurt. That was soon after his arrival -at Eastern. He had attended a social gathering and the memory of it still festered in his mind. He had never gone to another, Following that humilia' 13 cxperience he had serious- ly consic r~1 quitting college and ¢u- ing hone, home to his father's high- perched house that overlooked the roofs of Chinatywn, I Lee Ying, is hnorable parent, .ived Lee Ying, his wnorabla parent, lived on the roof of the n-wes!, the tallest, | the finest business building in that proof structure of steel and terra cot- 1t is a lesson every ambitious person learns and she was ambitious. Am- at Eastern for in a truly desperate effort to escape a life of household drudgery she had managed somehow to win a scholarship' in Eastern's| School of Design and now dreamed of a year or two in Paris, then a itudie of her own in New York, and inde- pendence. That scholarship, however, covered only tuition and inasmuch as her par- ents by no means warmly sympathized with her desires for a career it tok a deal of wheed!ing, coaxing and even threatening, to keep herself in funds to meet living sxpenses. It had sincerely thrilled her to meet that unknown Mr. Lee, 2 man of fabu- lous wealth, and that evening with him had been an experience. Alice did not realize how keen was her dis- appointment at 'he outcome until several days had passed. Mabel was still devoutly thankful that she had recognized Sam Lee "in time," as she put it, and she seemad to feel that her alertness and her re- source had saved them all from some unspeakable calamity. "Has your father been to che Re- gents about it?" Fay inquired. "Not yet. I haven't told him." "I thought you were--" "Oh, I was! I was burning up. But Kicker ig scareé rink and begging me not to say anything!" "You'd only get him and Mr. Gor- ham into trouble," Alice ventured. "Sam Lee was innocent enough." "I suppose so. And the college authorities woult be mighty slow ir calling him down, Goodness knows how rich he is. All the same, it's a fine note when girls like us can meect a Chinaman and never know it. Jt was the car, of course, Imagine a Chinaman with a car like that! Why, anything could happen to a girl!" "I'll say so," Fay agreed. "The trouble is you'd never know he's a Chinaman to look at him. Did you have the faintest idea, Alice?" Alice shook her head. "The funny .part of it is," Fay in- terrupted, "we wouldn't be mad at al! if he was an honeést-to-goodness prince. I mean even a Chinese prince. They have princes, don't they? We'd ta it was: itself was a peacefu' refiian, beauty and full of pleasanirc.es. riohiiin The a roof garden with shrubs and trees | and flowers and a tinkling fountain ! looking down upon narrow Mott and least was the picture that had been Pell and Doyers streets with their painted by his tutors. In reality it was anything but that: he had found it to he a stony and inhospitable place, a bewildering con- fusion of compounds with race wallea off from race and creed from creed. In Sam's case it did not appear to make the slightest difference 'hat be was American-born, that he had never seen and probably never would sec the land of his fathers, or that he had a "white mind": his virtues and his accomplishments were considered only skin deep. This phenomenon would have been more readily comprehensible had Sam conducted himself like the other Chi- nese scholars who lived at the House of Nations along with the hundred or more students of foreign birth. Thal little group of Orientals held itself aloof and avoided touch with the stu- dent body as mich as possible. They liked the whites no better than the whites liked them, But with Sam it was otherwise. For instance, he served dilligent'y on class committees, a thankless and profitless task; he wrote for the col- lege paper, he subscribed tire 'dnd money to every worthy cause. More than one fellow he coached in those subjects in which he himself stood highest and there were a num- ber of boys, like Gorham and Wade-- they called themselves men, of course who shamefully abused his g ity in money matters. He had even entered into American sports and had earned a place on the Varsity tennis team. Tonight as he drove homeward it | swarms of yellow men and children. ! The home reflected the lofty dignity, the benignant calm of its distinguish- ed owner. But the elder Lee was a sage and a philosopher; he was by na- ' ture and by training incapable of understanding resentment at harsh ' treatment, and Sam very well knew it. ' Lee Ying would have smiled at such | a childish weakness and counseled his boy to rise above it: or told him that ! adversity is necessary to the develop- ment of a man's virtue. How could .one go to a pacent of such crystal-clear wisdom and axalted ' sentiments with petty and undignified resentments? People had certainly treated Lee Sam unreasonably but { he least he could do was to practice a philosophy as ripe as his teacher's. Sam came to himself with a tart | to find that he had run past a crossing light. | Following that ride into the country Alice Hart asked herself a good many | times whether she had behaved in a manner to reflect credit upon herself, It had been an embarrassing situa- ' tion, to be sure, and she was the per- son who had most cause for resent- ment, but Wade and Gorham were 1esponsible: Sam Lee was no more to i blame for it than she was. If Mabel rand Fay hadn't been so furious the | difficulty could have been' met some- how, Miss Hart, be it said, was given to evasions and avoidances: her whole life had been a series of painful com- promises with disagreeable situations | and she had learned how infinitely preferable is half a loaf to no bread.

And I guess he's He are white." | "That's because he looks like a white man, Well, if he's silly enough to lend his money to Kicker and Spud, I guess we can afford to keep quiet and let them spend some of it on us." Mabel laughed: plainly she had a practical mind. Sam was reading a Chinese story, one of the colorful folk stories which are repeated on the eve of the feast of Lantetns. It was the humorous, lightly-told tale of little Chin Ting, disconsolate daughter of Sun Hou, the oil merchant, whose unfeeling parents locked her in the house with one dull lantern to console her while they went, tion. An audacious youth of the vil- lage, to whom the story teller attacu- ed the name Fun, had concealed him- self in a porcelain jar in Sun Hou's house and, after disclosing his pres- ence to the daughter, impudently made love to her. Sam lowered the book, for his tele: phone was ringing. He glanced at the ormolu clock on his cabinet of tiny ivory and gold and porcelain curios. It was after eleven. Who could be calling? Amid « soft rustling of silks he went into the hall. A woman's voice answered his hello. "Don't you know who this is?" it in- quired. "This is Alice Hart speak- ing." Sam all but dropped the receiver, In some coustraint they exchanged meaningless greetings and pleasant- ries. Alice had spent a quiet evening in her room: it had occurred to her that she had failed to thank Sam for his courtesy on the occasion of their meeting. She hoped he wouldn't con- sider ner rude. . Sam asked himself in bewilderment if he could have misconstrued the bition accounted for her presence eve |' off to attend the New Year celebra-| What New York Is Wearing BY ANNEBELLE WORTHINGTON Illustrated Drossmaking Lesson Fur- nished With Every Pattern Carry this model out in yellew and white printed flat wa. hable crepe sill, as its inspirator was carried out-- with plain yellow fagoting a dainty smart trim for the scalloped edges< and you'll love it.

"Prevention Better Than Cure" Modern Doctor's Belief Fort Worth, Texas.--More and more, physicians are striving to prevent dis- eases, instead of waiting till they put in their appearance'and then trying to cure them, Dr. Gordon Bates of Toronto, General Secretary of the Canadian Social Hygiene Council, told the American Public Health Associa- tion in this city. "Perhaps 50% of our iliness is pre- ventable, and 30% of our deaths post- ponable, at the present time," he said.' Illustrating the fact that laymen do not take full advantage of the protec- | tion offered.by the medical profession against diseases, he stated that while in some 'places diphtheria has been wiped out by use of the toxoid treat- ment, other districts, neglecting to use this treatment, showed high diph-- theria death-rates. Influences tending to oppose the trend towards prevention, Dr. Bateh branded as reactionary. He advocated the periodic physical examination of hedlthy individuals as a means of de-' tecting and correcting abnormal physi- cal conditions in incipiency. "Health insurance is probably inevitable on this continent," he sald. Wherever County Health Units are organized (small full time departments of health to serve rural areas which to-day fre- quently have higher disease and death rates than cities) rural death rates are declining in Canada, he said. o - The Versatile Soy Bean + Chicago.--The humble soy bean is to be one of the prominent actors at Chicago's, 1933 Century of Progress Exposition, according to 'plans, 'The soy bean is a little thing, a round ivory seed the size of a small French pea.

"Not all in one afternoon," protes ed a housewife of the old school.

And I have much nicer jam by the shert boil method than jelly by the long boil." Red currant jelly made in the mod- ern way gives almost twice as many jars of sparkling jelly as the long boil method does. The recipe requires only four pounds of red currants. Crush these thoroughly and add 1 cup of «water. ' Stir until the mixture boils, cover and simmer 19 minutes. Drip through jelly bag. Measure 5 cups juice into a large saucepan and bring to a boil.

On Horse Management Some important points of manage ment to be observed for the best wel- fare of horses and mules during the heavy work season are: Working horses and mules with clean collars that fit, and with harness that, is properly adjusted, light and strong, will go a long way toward pre- venting sore shoulders and harness galls. The working horse or mule needs daily grooming. Whether animals are worked shod or barefoot, their feet should be kept level by regular trimming. Sweat pads are a poor way to make a collar fit; they are both hot and 'in- sanitary, £ Do not use heavy breeching harness for field work when no backing is re quired, Wash the horse's shoulders after "leach day's 'work in the fitting or con- ditioning period; follow this with a salt water rinse to toughen the gkin. Do not work a slow horse or mule land a fast one together; match yous teams for better work. Raise the collars frequently while working the animal te clean dirt, loose hair, and 'sweat from .the shoulders and collars, : At the beginning of each day's work, warm up the animals gradually, It possible, unharness the animals '1 at noon. Water regularly and keep salt where {they can haye it as they want it.
