HUES ROUTINE
REGARDLESS OF
THREATS OF RIOTS
AMERICAN CONSULAR OFFICIAL
IN CHINA HAS HANDS FULL
ALL THE TIME
WASHINGTON, Feb. 24. (/P)—
Consider the American consular of
ficial in China who, surrounded by
rioting Chinese as he is trying to
arrange for safety of American wom
en and children, is called upon for a
quick report on the stock, for in
stance, of toothpicks on hand.
In this same situation the consu
lar also is trying to avoid calling in
nearby American bluejackets itching
to get into the fuss; trying to re
member that the noise and uproar
of the anti-foreign mobs might turn
to violence and bloodshed if the
jackets were summoned. It proba
bly is disturbing, under such cir
cumstances, to receive a request ;
from the commerce department for
an immediate report on the available
supply of tabacco, or toothpicks or
ships or tacks or sealing wax.
Yet that is! substintially what
Frank Pruit Lockharat, American
Consul General at Hankow, exper
ienced during the recent excitement *
incident to mob violence in the Brit
ish consession, where most Ameri
cans and their families live. He |
assembled the women and children
in the old Russian consession, where
the consulate is situated, kept in
touch with the rapid developments,
the river, reported by wire three
-arranged to send the refugees down *
limes a day to Minister MacMurray ^
at Peking, and cabled statistical re- 1
ports on the tobacco market in the f
Hankow area. I (
Lockhart hales from Pittsburg, : ]
Texas, and he manages to keep up',
with his many duties despite the j,
loss of one arm when a young chap. ]

ST. THOMAS, Virgin Islands, Feb.

ourist season in the West Indies,
vhen sleek passengers ships slip in

Kittles of bay rum—Some believe

Much of the bay oil used in man
