CHINA WANTS IDEA8
FOR NEW ALPHABET
Suggestions for a new alpha
bet have been asked by t.hefihinese
republic with the intention of
adopting the one which is the
best. What is wanted are “signs
whir ar_e simple in form, as few
as possible, and adequate to ex
press all various sounds com
monly used in the principal Ghi
nene dialects.” a conference of
learned mandarins was recently
called by the minister'of educa
tion to work out the alphabet, but
the scholras finally agreed that
they could not. solve the problem
alone, and made the recommen
dation for a public competition.
A New Kind of Stamps.
Never had there been such a
commotion in the little home, and
the most wildly excited person
was the sister of the young
mother who had just presented
twins to her husband. Off she
rushed to the postoftice for
stamps to spread tin* great tid
ings abroad.
“Stamps, please,” she said as
she (lung down her money.
“How many. Miss?” asked the
clt‘rk.
"Two,” she cried joyfully.
“What kind?”
“A boy and a girl.”

ARE STILL FIGHTING
FREE SUGAR-WOOL |
(Continued from page t1
litil when the senators appealed
to him to try to persuade Presi
dent Wilson to consent lo the
separation se declined, saying he
agreed with the president that all
the features of the tariff revision
should he put ip out? measure.
Senator Simmons and Ifye oth
er Democratic members of the
Finance committee will call on
President Wilson tomorrow to
urge him to consent to a separa
tion of the wool and sugar pro
visions from the rest of tin* tariff
bill. Unless this separation is
made by the House it will be im
possible for the Senate to take
any action toward that end, as the
Senate is not allowed to change
the form id' a revenue measure
after it has passed the House.
The feeling n the Senate com
mittee that the entire tariff pro
gram will be jeopardized unless
(he wool and sugar provisions are
put in a separate bill is shared
as much by senators who will
support the administration's tar
iff policy to the hist ditch as by
those who are nol inclined to fa
vor all the proposed changes in
the existing law. It was shown,
iiowtfver, in the exchange of
views (hat every Democrat on the
committee would carry out tin!
president's wishes and vote, if
necessary, for provisions they
thought unwise.
I A canvass of I In* Senate by
j Democratic members of the Fi
nance cmnmillee shows lhal live
Democratic senators will not sup
port the wool and sugar provis
ions of the House hill over which
the main battle will be waged.
Two of these are Randall and
Thornton of Louisiana, who are
out-and-out opponents of free
sugar. The other three are be
lieved to be Ashurst of Arizona,
Newlamls of Nevada, and Walsh
of Montana. Shafroth of Colora
do, despite the fact that his elec
tion was opposed by the beet su
gar interests, is thought likely to
[join the group.
' Senator Poindexter id' Wash
ington, the only Progressive, is
!expected by Democratic leadeis
I to vote for all provisions of the
I tariff bill except, possibly, that re.
| lal ing to sugar.
