The Huai River irrigation and' flood prevention project, started dst December, is expected to open. up 2,000,000,000 acres of land in the very "heart of China proper, and control a river - which has caused disastrous floods and famines' continuously since | the fourteenth century. The project now started by a Nan- king commission, after nore than 2 years of unfruitful discussion, will © completed in stages 'as rapidly a funds are available, The first stage is excavation of the Changfu River, The next, to begin this summer, is & mov- able dam at Chingpu, Honan, The Huai River rises in the hills of Honan, and originally emptied Into the Yellow Sea. But in the fourteenth century the Yellow River shifted its bed several hundred miles southward, usurped the lower bed of the Huai River, and forced the Huai to seek an "outlet elsewhere, Its flow singe that time has been completely upset, so that it empties in helter-skelter fas- hion through a series of lakes and the Grand Canal into the Yangtse River, - causing floods in unexpected. parts of Honan, ~Anhwei and Kiangsu Pro- vinces. ; After a particularly disastrous flood In the Huai basin, an American Red China in 1914, and recommended that a $20,000,000 (gold) loan be raised to "excavate a suitable basin forthe Hua} River. To this the Chinese Govern- ment agreed, but the European war soon broke out,--and the loan was never rajsed. Surveys made at that time and later, however, showed be- yond doubt that recurrent floods and famines in the Huai "basin were pre ventable, and that an irrigation and flood prevention project could open up enough - However, no Chinese Government had lunds available to begin the project. The present Government at Nanking has taken up the project serious]v "again. At Nanking's request, the 4 League of Nations sent three experts, one French, one British, one German, to survey the Hual River, They car- ried out the survey in spite of the Bino-Japanese conflict .at Shanghai, recommending a project by which the Huai River can be controlled at mini- mum cost. The first stage of a project |' based upon these recommendations | was started last Décember, : The project calls for excavation of » numbef of lakes, rivers and canals, for reconstruction of seven locks in the Grand Canal suitable for ships up to 900 tons, for an extensive dike sys- lem through the flat country traversed by the river. It has been arranged in stages, which may be tompleted as funds are available; | Residents of the Huai basin are showing a keen interest in the 'ork, 'pnd most of the financing thus far has been done locally. i Dawn Notes of Birds - Encircle Globe in Song "Glanton, Northumberland, Eng.-- Mr. Noble Rollin, the warden of the bird station here, assisted by amateur ornithologists: in many' parts of the world, is engaged in the task of chart- hg the dawn song of the bird« all pver the globe.

These in- cluded enamel portraits of Queen Anne and Charles I, and a miniature of Charles 11, her collection of articles in gold and silver, pique and tortoise- shell, two diamond rivieres and an ivory bust of Queen Victoria. She also left a colléction of poman- ders and a Worcester dessert service to the Princess Royal (Princess Mary) and directed that any letters from members of the Royal Family be re- turned to the senders, - Numerous bequests to charities and to old servants were also revealed in the will. To Princess Alice, Countess of Ath- lone, Lady Mount Stephen left a dia- mond brooch and her much-treasured piece of the last spike driven into the tracks of the Canadian Pacific Rail- way's first transcontinental l{ne.' ] Lady Mount Stephen died on May 1, a few days after she had been hostess to the Queen. "Shops of London's East End In the small territory of the ast End are shops as fascinating as any I have found in the dozen cities of Eur- ope that I happen to know. You have not only shops for all the things you may buy in other parts of London, in- cluding platinum, genuine pearls and diamonds, furs of sable and seal, ex- clusive perfumes, and pate de foie gras; but shops for things that can be 'bought in few other places, ag sheep bells and church bells, areca nuts and shark's fins. Here you can buy in' teresting pastries, and sweets that are never seen in the "better" shops--tof- -{ fee-apples, humbugs, brandy-snaps, pop corn, sherbet, colt's-foot, locusts and surprise packets. Without moving out of a particular street you can buy Rou- manian beads, pelts, Dutch drops, nau- tical charts, praying-shawls, costers' barrows, fresh-cut chaff from the hay market, milk fresh from the cow, flags, and bunting and pilots' manuals. There are shops which offer you butts and bends and shoulders and bellies, and hessians and scrims; and a shop which announces ambiguously but with Latin grace: "Dangerous Structures a Spe- cialite." There are ships' Chandlers and marine stores, and in Houndsditch there is almost every toy that the world's children know. There are shops for all manner of half-forgotten herbs--pennyroyal, saffron, tansy, sen- na and rue, There is a shop where you can buy your whitebait wholesale, There 'are shops for mystic emblems 'of strange faiths." And there is a shop where you can buy things I have sought vainly in West End shops; namely, all the world's gramophone records, Re- cords of music and songs and stories and lamentations and war cries made by the peoples of China, Persia, Ar- menia, Syria, Arabia, Egypt, West Af- rica,. Turkey, Roumania, Russia, Ko- rea, Greece, and the various provinces of India. At the Docks you may buy an "odd lot" of such delightfully mixed matters as lithophone, ochre, Hanchow bags, petits pois, tapioca, gum copal, slag, graphite, chicory and gpelter;" though what you would do with such a lot when you got home I don't know. Give it to an artist friend, I think, for a study in still-life. There are, in the side streets off other side- streets, shops which are not shops at all, but merely, as in country villages, cottages which have. turned their front parlors into shops and their parlor windows into public spectacles and rendezvous for the children, One of the most interesting shops, if the word is allowed for such a huild- Ing, is to be found at the corner of Plumber's Row. 'This is, the oldest bell foundry in England. It was es- tablished" in 1570, and is known as Mears & Stainbank's. In this building you may buy bells of ever sort -- church bells, "muflin bells, railway bells, silver hand bells, table bells, cock chimes, town-criers' bells, cattle bells, sleigh bells and all the bells you have ever heard about! Here were cast the bells of Westminster Abbey and the chimes of 'Big Ben and the first bells you knew---the bells of the old nursery game, Oranges and Lem: ons: Oranges and lemons, Say the bells of St. Clement's. Brickbats and tiles, Say the bells of St. Giles'. Halfpence and farthings, Say the bells of St. Martin's Old Father Baldpate, Say the slow bells of Aldgate. Two sticks and an apple, Say the bells of Whitechapel. You owe me ten shillings, Say the bells of St: Helen's, When will you pay me? Say the bells of Old Bailey. When I grow rich, Say the bells of Shorediteh. Pray, when will that be? | Say the bells of Stephney. I'm sure I don't know, Say the sweet bells of Bow. All thse were born at Mears & Btainhani'e: and Big Ben, which booms across Europe through the loud-speaker, and the muflin-man's hell which tinkles «through the October twilight, and the bell which sends its drowsy note across the Downs with every movement of the bell-wether-- all were born here.
