l'ublished by Macmillan.
Introduced by the praises of
Charles K. Crane, American ambai
nador to Pekin, "China Awakened,"
by M. T. 7.. Tyan, may be accepted
as fair and authoritative as well as
timely. The author taught for many
rears at the Chinese-American col
lege known as the "Indemnity Col
lr rc." and was one tif the corps repre
senting his country at the Washing
ton disarmament conference. He
represents Young China, rather glad
to be hustled along the path of
modernity by the Occident. It is
surprising to learn from authorities
quoted by him that Chinese girls are
being educated into hplendid doctors
and that the new woman is abroad
in the land. The chapter on the
student movement is illuminating,
and the discussion of Shantung and
the industrial outlook and progress
of the. flowery republic are full of
interest.
Published by Macmillan.
Soviet strategy in the far east is
detailed at some length by Leo Pas
volsky, in his latest treatise. "Russia
in the Far East." It was issued by
the McMillan company on the eve of
the Washington disarmament confer
ence. The author draws .an interesting
comparison between the latter meet
ing and the Paris conference of 1919.
"The first worked in an atmos
phere which radiated from a tradi
tion of Europe as the center of world
affairs and the European balance of
powers as the most important fac
tor in , the world situation. The
Washington conference meets in an
atmosphere that radiates from a cen
ter of world affairs which has moved
to the vast reaches of the Pacific
ocean and a balance of powers that
'Miss Wallace Tells
i of Eastern Drama
Among Amateurs
"Our on amateur work com
pares erv favorably villi that I saw
in the et." said Mis Mary Irene
Wallace, hd of the dramatic de
partment it Commerce idsh, in her
talk before the Drama riit Fri
day afternoon at tho ruutrnelie.
Mix Wallace has just returned (rout
several mouths in the (t where she
made a study of amateur play pro
ducing, ami visited ituny n'gn
school, the School of the Drama at
Carnegie institute, the Neighborhood
Play house in New York, the ChiU
dren' theater there, the Ytsl and
S t player, and other amateur and
temi-proleional group.
In New York he saw the great
pageant -which lasted for ten days.
"America in the Making, to which
a million people contributed in some
way or another Each nationality
was given an evening to put on their
part of the whole.
In summing, tip her impressions
Mis Wallace said she was struck:
bv the eager and nthutiaticipirit
of all the amateur plaers. and their
admiration for the vest "I was im
pressed also hy the natural acting,
and the simplicity of the settings
and costumes. The plays they at
tempt are worthwhile ones. The one
act play is much tnore popular than
the longer dramas."
The speaker found that many of
the eastern high school were not as
broad in their line of dramatic work
as are Omaha schools, but he said
she felt the need of the middle west
to improve its diction. Miss Wal
lace suggested that the Drama
league, the Tine Arts society and the
Chamber of Commerce should back
a local stork company, for she feels
sure that Omaha has the talent and
the enthusiasm. She also regretted
that there is no settlement school of
the drama, where poor children can
have the advantage of the best teach
ing in the city. The Neighborhood
Play House; which is connected w ith
the Henry Street settlement in New
York, is, she said, the great example
of what an inspiration fine drama
can be to people lacking in opportu
nities to see it unless it is brought
to them.
is truly woria-wicie in us scopr,
rather than essentially European," he
writes.
The sovicts arc frankly banking
on the possibility of a war between
the United States and Japan, Pas
volskv admits, but lie thinks the path
of Russia's and America's historic
destiny have converged to the extent
that their common path is the road
of world peace.
Old leeends. fairv stories and folk
tales of old live again in a small vol
ume of verse entitled "The Blue
Dragon Ballads," by Alfred James
Fritchey, Los Angeles. The book is
being circulated by himself.
There are old Roman and Grecian
myths reproduced in musical rhythm.
"I he Lady ot tne Humming ciros
and "The Yellow Sash" are most
commendable. Ballads that have a
Persian setting and an "Arabian
Niirhts" admosphere are "The Girdle
of Pearls," "The Magenta Earring"
and "The Tourmaline Vase." The
ballads are not pretentious, just mu
sical and entertaining.

By ELSIE ROBINSON.
Something queer is happening in
the Clark home. It alio happening
in the Smith house, and the Kohert
family and a lotta other (amilies in
this broad, upheaving land. So I'm
going to talk about it.
Eleannre HurT and Ned Clark were
married last June. Lleanore had a
dandy position with on insurance
company. Ned had an equally good
position with an automobile agency.
So the Trince bought the rrincrtt
a platinum wedding ring act with
blue white diamonds, on the install
nient plan, and they started In,
"Let's have a reg'lar house," said
the Prince.
"Let's have a modern apartment,"
smiled the Trince.
They had the modem apartment.
"fll take care of you forever.
sweetheart" boasted the Trince.
"Of course you will, darling.''
cooed the r'rinre.s. "Hut I guess I'd
better keep my position. It will come
in handy for my clothes.
So the Princess kept her position,
and it comes in handy for her
clothes. But that's all it does come
in handy for. Ned's salary goes into
the bank or the family beaded bag.
But Eleanore's salary goes on her
back or into the beauty parlor or the
matinee. Why?
Ned is beginning to wonder.
Several thousand Neds are begin
ning to wonder at this new kind of
marriage. They're 'willing to put
their pride in their pockets and al
low their wives to work, if the wives
wish, fur they realize the fundamen
tal justice of the scheme. They're
willing to let her substitute type
writing for dishwashing as her part
of the partnership if she thinks it's
easier. But why, if it is a partner
ship, should she thereafter adopt the
"what's yours is mine, but what's
mine is my own" attitude?
Why doesn t Eleanore s money be
long in the common fund as much as
Ned s. since she insists on working
out after he has made her his wife?
