He finds that a social nreju- dice exists against him on account of his supposedly Oriental blood. Spud Gorham and Kicker Wade induce Sam them out in his expensive car, with their | girl companions, but the party breaks up sudfienly when Alice Hart discovers that 8am has come to college as the son of Lee Ying a wealthy Chinese importer of | New York. Then Alice sees possibilities in Sam's wealth and calls him up. | CHAPTER IV.-- (Cont'd.) "I was reading when you called," Sam told her. "An old Chinese story--"" "What about?" "About a little Chinese girl who wag not allowed to attend the Feast of Lanierns--our New Year celebra- tion. We Chinese attach great im- portance to New Years: it's our prin- eipal holiday. Something like your Christmas or Fourth of July." "Why wasn't she allowad to go to the feast?" Sam hesitated. Miss Hart knew. Sha knew everything and yet she | callad him up, wanted to chat. Here was a mirazla, A new resonance; a' new qualily was in his voice when he said : "Poor li Chin Tng's parents were unkind, thoy locked har in the house while thay went off to the festi- val.

It's quaint and] amusing, in the original script." "Do you read Chinese?" Miss Hart! was incredulous. | "Of course--" "But isn't it awfully hard? Doesn't' it take years to learn?" "Years and years. I couldn't speak English until I was half grown!" "No! [Isn't that extraordinary? You certainly speak it well enough now: better than I do." There was a pause. "I wish I knew more about + --well, about foreign people and coun- tries and customs and such things. I'm terribly ignorant and curious. All 1 know 1s a little bit about drawing. +. +. . Was Chin Ting pretty?" "Lovely!" Sam laughed. It was per- haps the first time he had ever laugh- ed naturally while talking to an Am- erican girl. "F suppose the young man called her his lotus flower?" "No: his Thousand Pieces of Gold--" "How pretty!" "_and his String of Rubies. When Chin Ting's father learned that she had gone to the festival against his command he wanted to boil her in oil. But her mother was more tendar- hearted: she wished only to boil her daughter's hands therein." "I'l bet! Parents are pretty much alike. I ran away from home to see the fireworks." "Indeed?" "Sure! The crouble is I'm not see- ing them. The nearest I've come was --the other night. I had an awfully good time while it lasted." Alice seem- ed to think, of a sudden, that she was overdoing her thanks or was talking too freely for after another hurri:d word or two she said good night and hung up. : Sam read no more that evening. What did that friendly telephone con- versation signify. Was Miss Hart unlike other Arccrican girls? She must be. Would he dare ring up Miss Hurt after a proper lapse of time? How long should he wait? There is nothing in Chinese etiquette about telephoning young ladies. But this 'wasn't China: it was America. And he was an American. . . . moment 'and he shook his head at this reflec- tion. He was nothing of the sort. He was a "Chink" . . .

"Did you like it?" "You know I liked it. But how did you cultivate such taste in women's things? A girl should distrust any man who can select dresses. It's an indication of bad character." Sam latighed, his companion drew her shoulders together, hugged her- self, nestled closer .o him. Following that first telephone call Sam had sent .lice a box of flowers: they were the finest, the longest stem- med cos che had ever seen, A gift 80 expr demanced acknowledg- ment, so sne had called him again.

That had been the beginning. Sam wes not doing so well in his studies box of lacy handkerchiefs, for in-| stance, or a few pairs of gloves, silk hose and the like. When she protest- ed he assured her they were mere trifles. "Trifles to you, a wild extravagance for me," she told him. Sam smiled faintly. me you have so much." ; "In heaven's name what? Health, youth, a fair amount of good looks, How much will they bring?" : "The quest of knowledge is the most honorable of pursuits. You'll be a great artist." ' "Never!

"We have a proverb which runs, 'The more unlikely I am to be success- ful, the more dilligently will I study.' It's quite a fine thing to be steeped in the sayings and the philosophies of an ancient, thoughtful people: it's a short-cut to experience. We Chinese children are taught stories, as weil ag apothegms, and many/of them have to do with scholars who acquired cul- ture, made much of themselves under difficulties infinitely greater than yours. They're a spur to diligence: one of the very first stories we're told is about the boy who had no money for a lamp and caught fireflies to light the pages of his book."

Not a Spud Gorham or a Kick ¢» Wade, but a dependable, solid, comfortable friend who possessed a serious mind and who respected girls. Alice talked a good deal about her work, her ambitions and her sacri- fices. Miss Hart was always in deep earnest about her art, but other mat- ters she treated more lightly, and usu- ally she was full of fun, There was a distinct charm about her for she had a curious knack of talking confi- dently about herself and her personal concerns, and of showing the warm- est interest in other people's affairs. She was some indefinite number of years older than Sam---nevertheless, she deferred to his wisdom in a fat- tering manner, Their friendship had proven 'ery wonderful, deeply intoxicating to the toy: it had expanded him, he was a different person. i Alice had treated . im with an odd mixture of friendliness and constraint, at first: she had appeared to be at- tracted to him, nevertheless she had been suspicious, fearful of his ad- vances, When he failed to make any, her shyness wore off and they became real pals. She was at all times eager to go out with him but diffident about Leing seen in public -places and ex- plained this on the ground that she 1acked the means to dress becomingly. One evening, however, she did con- sent to go with him into a small clam chowder place where they were not likely to be recognized and there they discovered an orchestrion which play. ed discordantly when nickels '.ere fed to it. Alice was surprised to learn that Sam could not dance and she volunteered to teach him; thereafter they Jropped in whenever they passed the place. It was great fun and Alice declared he was rapidly becoming one of the best dancers she knew, if not the very best. Pleasing as she was in most ways, the girl possessed one characteristic which disappointed Sam: she had a discontented mind and suffered per- iods of intense despondency: she was likely to break out in a vitriolic and utterly reasonless triade against her luck, her condition, her lack of appor- tunity. This feeling of inferiority, ; amounting almost to a complex, mysti- fied Sam, for he had never known the pains of self-denial, and poverty in Chinese eyes is no social bar sinister --not even a handicap, When he made this plain to her, she was surprisel, she could not believe that he was in earnest or that he could cherish any real regard for her, a mere nobod.

Going on, the-service says: "The proper selection of clothing is equally jmportant. We must remem- ber that dark clothes absorb the sun's rays and are therefore warm in hot weather. White clothes, on the other hand, reflect the-rays of the sun and are therefore cool in hot weather. So, as- far as possible, we should choose white clothing of cotton or linen ma- terial. Generally speaking, Summer clothing should be light in weight and color and porous in texture. Such clothing permits 'evaporation and ale lows air to reach the skin readily. Frequent changes of clothing, particu- larly of that next to the skin, is es- pecially conducive to comfort. It is during this season that the body requires an unusually large amount of fluids, and the question of what to drink is equally as important as what to eat. When thirst becomes oppressive we are prone to grow care- less as to what and how we drink, and can' readily cause ourselves discom- fort and even grave injury. Milk is one of the finest of hot weather drinks, ag it is quite effective In quenching thirst and contains a high food value, Fruit juices are also excellent hot weather drinks, being high in food value and effective in quenching thirst. An abundance of water, both internal- ly and externally, is necessary during hot weather. "The proper amount and the proper kind of exercise are just as essential in hot weather as in cold, and it is important that we give them some thought in choosing. Exercise suited to the as well as to the require- ments of the individual, taking into consideration also his vocation, should be sought. Constant automobile rid- ing should not be considered as exer- cise. Walking is one of the very. best ag well as one of the cheapest forms of exercising and can be adapted to all ages. In moderation, swimming, tennis, golf and horseback riding are well chosen as forms of hot-weather exercise, "To be comfortable during hot weath- er, live sensibly, acquire regular habits of living, get plenty of rest and, above all, try to acquire a cheerful and philo- sophical outlook on life." mt etl ee Method Is Devised To Keep Ice Off Wings of Plane Ithaca, N. Y,--Dr. Merit Scott, Cornell physicist, has discoverad that enough heat is disspated by airplane engines to warm the wings and pre- vent perils of ice formation. There is even the possibility of heating the propeller, a-part up to now lacking in any kind of protection against ice. "There has been a general opinion," Dr. Scott says, "that the heat dissi- pated by the aviation engines' is n- sufficient to maintain the necessary exposed surfaces-of the airplane at or above the freezing point of water at ice-forming temperatures." That the opinion is mistaken he found in a year's experiments and cal- culations in a laboratory at' Cornell University, department of physics, equipped under a grant from the Daniel Guggenheim Fund for the Pro. motion of Aeronautics, In a refrigerating wind tunnel he' drove glaze, sleet and subcooled water particles against small model plane wings, In these wigs, along the lead ing edges were pipes ¢arrying hot air equivalent to the exhaust gasas from an aviation engine. The pipes kept the surface of the lealing ciges v.u.e freezing. Tha heat generated at there edges 'lowes! backwards uver the wing sur- faces.
