Visitor Tells
of Conditions in
Nanking, China
Mrs. Robert Haight, Visiting at
White Home, Tells of Observa
tions in Chinese Capital.
Mrs. Robert Haight is a very inter
esting guest of her aunt and cousin,
Mrs. W. J. White and Miss Mabel
White in this city. Mrs. Haight,
whose home is in Rocky Mount. X. C,
has just returned from a year spent
with her daughter in Xanking,
China. She will visit here two weeks
before returning to her home.
Mrs. Haight's daughter has taught
physical education in Gingling col
lege, an exclusive girls' school, in
Xanking during the past three years.
She is also returning to United States
this year but is coming across Europe.
Mrs. Haight came across Japan to
Seattle.
The visitor left Xanking June 22.
She reports that there was no fight
ing other than ordinary about the
city and the serious conflict was
taking place north of Xanking, in
the territory of Peiping.
Describes Food
Mrs. Haight tells many interest
ing things of the Chinese city. It
was walled and each night at 10 the
gates are closed and no one is al
lowed to leave or enter the city until
morning.
She tells of the very fine food
served during her stay in China.
Soup was served with both lunch and
dinner. Fish, especially shrimp, was
always served with- other meat and
five vegetables. An abundance of
mushrooms were found in the menu
but no sweets. Water is so impure in
the city that all must be boiled be
fore being used. Mrs. Haight said
that she had very few cold drinks
while in China and learned to like
hot water very much. There are no
cattle, so no milk. The only milk to
be found is powdered jnilk which is
imported and goats' milk.
The city is very unsanitary. Open
sewers are used throughout the city
and the waste is used for irrigation
on the little plots of land of the mid
dle class. Xo food is served uncooked.
The poorer people live in tiny mud or
straw houses of one room with no
windows. They sleep on the street or
anywhere that is convenient and use
every spear of vegetation as food.
Beggar's City
A special section is set aside for
the beggars, called Beggar's City. It
lies outside the walls. The govern
ment furnishes rice for the beggars
to eat and sitempts to teach them a
trade. However many are too lazy
to care to learn.
When .Miss Haight went to China
four years ago, the main streets were
made of cobble stoifes. Water buffalo,
pigs, and goats wandered at will on
the narrow fairways. Since that time,
many of the streets have been widen
ed and paved and many automobiles
are now in use. Mrs. Haight reports
that the city is changing very rapid
ly. She hopes that the architectual
style anOVfurniture of the Old China
will be preserved because of their
unique beauty.
Burial Service
Another custom, very different
from ours, is the burial of the dead.
Burial is, made on "the farm of the
family or upon their own property.
When the land is sold, the body is
taken up and moved to the new home.
Xo sun is allowed to touch the body
during this moving process, so a
heavy covering is placed over the
grave. Each spring and fall the fam
ily visits the graves of the ancestors.
They burn three fires which burn
incense, food and paper coins as of
ferings and spend hours in prayers
praying from early morning until the
rising of the sun. Many of the poor
do not have enough money to buy
coffins so rent a coffin to carry the
corpse to the grave, then return the
coffin after burial.
Mrs. Haight described the climate
as extremely damp. Although the
temperature is approximately the
TRIAL COUPON
same as In her home in South Caro
lina, the dampness makes the winters
extremely cool. The Chinese people
do not believe in heating systems so
instead of having the rooms heated
they wear padded clothing. Thej
teachers go about their work in fur;
coats. I
She reports that trie recent book
"Ying and Van" which is on the pay
shelf at the local library is a very
true picture of the Chinese city.
Power District
Gained Right to
Build Lines
Railway Commission Ruling Gives
Right to Construct 421 Miles
of Rural Lines.
LIXCOLX. Aug. 7 (UP) The Xe
braska railway commission by a two
to one vote today granted the East
Xebraska Public Power district per
mission to construct 421 miles of
rural transmission lines lines (proj
ect Xo. 2, in Saunders, Cass and Otoe
counties).
Chairman Floyd Bollen put the mo.
tion to approve the application. Com
missioner Frank A. Good, concurring
and Commissioner Will M. Maupin
dissenting in a twelve page opinion.
The majority opinion dismissed
the contenTio of the Xebraska Pow
er company of Omaha, raised for the
first time, that the commission had
the power to determine whether such
an application was in the interest of
public convenience and necessity,
whether construction would be wise
or result in duplication and waste.
Officers of the Xebraska Power Co.
withheld comment upon the de
cision permitting the Eastern Xe
braska Public Power Co. to build
power lines which would compete
with the private lines. E. Davidson,
president of the company, could not
be reached.
