A BRILLIANT CHINAMAN
Popular notions of Chinese character and intelligence
were given another shock when Dana Yung Kwai was
voted by the senior class at Yale its “most brilliant mem
ber. ” He also stood second among the “most versatile,”
and second among those “most likely to succeed”.
While a freshman he won prizes in history and chem
istry; as n sophomore he won prizes in drawing, mech
anics and physics; he won his “Y” as a member of the
swimming team. Before entering Yale he distinguished
• himself as a student at a Washington high school and won
a medal as captain of a cadet company.
Yung Kwai is the son of the counselor of the Chinese
legation at Washington, who is himself a Yale graduate.
Although the accomplishments of this gifted young
man are exceptional, his record proves that there must
be latent among China’s millions many bright minds cap
able of being trained to high efficiency, and used with
mighty effect for the advancement of civilization.
Sourdough Bill says: Well, anyway, no one dares
assert that our politicians are cheap.

BHTffiTMK BECOMING
Don’t be Discouraged!
Don't lose the will to win .... don’t join the pessimists who
see naught but disaster ahead—
During a previous depression, the government had to is
sue paper “Clearing House Certificates” as a substitute for
money. Conditions were just as bad, only we have forgotten.
Prosperity has always followed bad times—this is one of Hie
laws of business cycles.
Now is the time to substitute the word “Reconstruction” for
“depression.”
Don’t be discouraged. Lend a hand to reestablish confidence.
America will see this through and emerge victorious.
Better times are coming!

"THE ROAD TO SINGAPORE:
A drama of super-class people in the tropics
The man who preys on other men’s wives
finds easy conquests in the warm, moist
air of Leylon. This play is more than just
a single picture of straying from the “Nar
row path”, it explains the real reason for
post of the slips of married women. Noth
ing hectic or over-drawn—“a f f a i r s” as
they usually are, shown in a charming way.
With it there is a two-reel feature pic
ture, the solving of a murder mystery. This
is something new in the way of two-reelers
and a Fable.
There is also an interesting News reel
