Mussolini, speaking before his senate, blames Italian economic ills on the Wall Street crash of Oc tober, 1929. He describes gold ac cumulations by America and France as “Congestion and Indigestion.” Italy. The Pope issued a 16,000- word encyclical condemning trial marriage, divorce, birth control, and vicious publicity by book, stage, or radio.

The biggest appropria tion in the world, it comprises two- thirds of the entire national income. The workers will receive 17 per cent of the National income. Germany. An article, which by mistake received publicity, and which was meant only for the eyes of the German Finance Minister, Hermann Dietrich Associates, re vealed the fact that it was the Fi nance Minister’s personal conviction that Germany can pay what she owes under the Young Plan. Where as for press purposes the official titude of the Bruning Cabinet that Germany cannot pay. Washington: The Red Cross fuses to accept the administration of the $25,000,000 appropriation for general relief purposes as would be provided for under the terms of the Senate amendment to the Interior Department Appropriation Bill.

Judge John Barton Payne, Chairman of the American National Red Cross, asserted that “It will not take long to raise the $10,000,000 asked for the recent proclamation of President Hoover if an end is put to the talk of an appropriation by Congress. MARCH-APRIL, 1882. One of the chief attractions of Salem is the Academy pleasure- ground, as it is termed in old time parlance. It is really a park, with every variety of hill and valley, cosy nooks, arbor, shrubbery and beds of blooming flowers. It is especially attractive Spring, when all the trees have clothed themselves in their garments of green and the flowers’ are in bud and blossom. As we stroll down the upper yard, stopping to throw a pebble into the fountain basin, we reach the large gaye and long steps that lead the pleasure-ground proper and have a pleasing picture spread before Away to the right the cottages “Happy Hill” lie in the bright s light, while before us the cool shad ows of the light beam softly. JUNE, 1878. “We would take this opportunity of publicly thanking our kind friends. Miss Chitty and Miss Leh man, for the delicious peaches and apples with which we were so con siderately furnished by them during the Examination week, as well as for the bright-eyed pansies that have from their hands adorned our table from time to time.” MARCH, 1878. School Gossip It is astonishing how many male cousins some of the Academy girls do have. z We learn that another of our former school-mates Roxie Barring er, was recently offered at the Hy- menial altar, but as we were not favored with cards, we do not know the name of the happy man upon whom she bestowed her hand. A LITTLE ABOUT CHINA During the Russo-Japanese the Russian soldiers returning home from Manchuria were telling e: ig stories about China. The thing that impressed them most was that the Chinese men wear dresses and long pigtails, while the Chinese women wear trousers and fix their hair high op the head. That is the truth, even now you can often see Chinese with long hair. The wom en tied their feet, not to let them grow, which are about 4 inches long, pointed in front. That is now pro hibited by law. Their clothes are made of simple, usually blue stuff, and consist of a shirt and long trousers. On holidays the women, as well as men, add a long, straight, dress, buttoned on one side with little gilded balls. The colors are bright, the combinations un usual for Europeans, as red with n. They dress very simply, but onholidays their clothes are of silk, embroidered by hand, of immense •alue. They wear shoes made of tuff, sometimes embroidered. The remarkable thing about Chinese is that most of them are very dirty, their blouses from white might be- ; black, but their stockings are always clean. The wife makes the stockings herself. They wear little round caps fitting close to the head. On the top thei a little ball red, blue, or white cording to rank. In hot days the little children do )t wear much; a little apron—that all. Their hair is shaved around the head, leaving a little piece of hair in the middle. The Wovien The women are not of any import ance in the Chinese life. Mother prays that a little boy will be born and not a girl. The girl is consid ered a burden for the family. Pa rents of China no sooner have a daughter than they begin to make plans for her marriage. Sometimes she is sold when she is a baby, for the Chinese buy their wives. The marriage business, for it is nothing but an act of business between pa rents, must be happy. If the bride and the groom are strong and healthy people, nobody ever asks the consent of the bride and the groom. When the girl is about 15 it is the time for her to be married, although she probably was engaged years ago. The ceremony is simple and occurs in the house of the groom’s parents. The bride ii dressed in red. After many year; she steps in a high, decorated with red silk, chair, carried by men. The procession is accompanied by cym bals, drums, and firecrackers, which are supposed to frighten the de mons. Beliind her, her bed, cloth ing and food of all kinds are car- The lot of the bride in China is poor. She must obey her mother- in-law, or, if she married the younger son, she must as well obey her elder sisters-in-law. A man have as many wives as he is fortu nate enough to support, but each of them must obey the eldest. In the political or social life the women do not have place, eve theatres their parts are taken by men. However if the women of China could have the chance they would develop mentally as quickly as any w'hite woman. The girls going to school, associating with white women, they bring new' ideas in their family life. China is more the isolated country' of the p; Women will have a chance to i prove their positions and throw away the prejudices of the Asiatic middle ages. —ZINA VOLOGODSKY. MAY, 1878. If there is a place within the Academy limits where we might for one half-hour escape having our filled with discussions of the all- absorbing dress question, we should feel obliged to have it pointed Intercollegiate News Dr. E. C. Brooks, president of State College, and Dr. R. H. Wright, president of E. C. T. C., registered their disapproval of the proposed 10 :ent cut in salaries in a hearing before the joint appropriations com mittee Wednesday. Dr. Brooks did not assume the role of a fighter in protesting, but asked the committee to permit the institution to adjust salaries of the teachers so as not to compel a hori zontal cut. He named no amount 1 seeking an increase. Dr. Wright asked for an increase f $40,580 for each year of the bi- Rita S.

WHEN YOU COME BACK By Atholle lone Frippe When you come back to me, I pray That it may be dawn, or dark, Or some soft twilight time.

Oh, let our meeting be—wlien you At dusk, because I met you when The light was soft on land and sea. Or dawn. Since it was then you went away For even as I see—limned in sweet memory Your smile, your dear, dear eyes— dim grow My own, so long have tears op pressed their sight. They could not stand so strong a light— The blazing glory of tlie skies and that Sweet wonder in your eyes.
