In many instances merchants who had not anticipated so great a response to their bargain offerings had failed to supply a sufficient quantity of the particular bargain day features, and found their offerings closed out long before the day was over. The drug stores, the dry goods stores, the shoe stores, the hardware stores, the grocery stores, fur stores, the meat markets, garages, and every line of business make the same enthu- siastic report of the day's success, ac- cording to Secretary B. G. Eberle, of the Winnetka Chamber of Commerce, under whose auspices the Dollar day was inaugurated. "It was the first undertaking of this kind by the Chamber," Secretary Eberlee, said, "but all of the merch- ants, and many of the citizens of the village, with whom I have talked, are in favor of holding two days of this nature each year, one in the spring and one in the fall."

He was on his way to give a series of lectures at Harvard. Mrs. Brewer persuaded him to send the following message to his Winnetka friends. "Now that the Nationalist Party has gained Pekin and ousted the Man- churian War Lord, may we expect China to become peaceful and orderly? "This is the question most frequently asked me. The answer I must give is usually disappointing to the questioner. No, we cannot expect China to become peaceful at once. There are many sub-groups, many personal jealousies, as well as deep differences between the Right, the Center and the Left sections of the party. I expect further fighting for months, perhaps for years, between various commanders within the National People's party. There is no outstanding individual leader. The memory and ideals of the 'Great Doc- tor, Sun Yat-Sen, hold together vari- ous sections of the party in a loose federation. But no leader is as yet in sight. China Is Modernizing "Disappointed and puzzled, the in- quirer often despairs of understanding the Chinese; if confusion, more civil war, and no leadership are the only results of two years of hard fighting, what achievement is there of any real value to China and the world? But is it, after all, such a puzzle? A great people, the largest homogeneous hu- man group in the world, with a long cultural tradition, is modernizing itself. You cannot in a moment jump a people from medieval feudal- ism, to the modern conception of a unified, centrally controlled, democra- tic state. But this is true--and herein lies boundless hope for China's future and for the future world society in which she is to take her place; the Chinese people are on the way to mod- ern-mindedness; a long sea-mile or two along the way to democracy, and science, and healthful co-opera- tion. Watch the repeated waves waves of the swell flowing in from the unfathomed sea of Chinese life. Nothing can withstand that force. Ask vour newspapers and magazines to tell vou more of the deeper cur- rents of China's life todav. Ask them to plav up less the trivial melodrama- tics of party leaders and their quarrels. Trv to get the far-seeing eye of the true sea-man, who illuminates the ob- vious and incidental, and seeks the wide embracing forces of nature's fun- damental movements." Mr. and Mrs. Fred A. Conrad of 1418 Scott avenue and their son, John, have returned to their home after spending three weeks in Maine. Loop Studio 823 Kimball Bldg.
