Chinese City Becomes Modern
Expansion is always the order
of the day in an active communi-
ty; and thfs old city has given
proof of her vitality by allowing
her age-worn walls to be pierced
by a new gate. This is situated
aibout half way between the north
and the west gates and has been
made chiefly for the convenience
of workers in a grass-mat factory
on the outer edge of the city fos-
set at that point. No doubt the
promoters of the factory have
been the moving force in gring-
ing in this innovation and the gate
symbolizes their hopes, being
named the Gate of Gain.
This mat facory was begun ip
a srnal] way inside the city about
two years agov Last year i wat
moved to some old buildings in
its present position, about thirty
mow of the surrounding rice field
broueht in, and new buildines
erected. There are now about
1000 workers, the majority of
whom are women and girls; and
a wooden bridge is soon to replace
the factory and the new city gate.
The women are paid by piece
work and the skilful can earn up
to 40 cents a day. Besides mats
of various sizes and designs, dain
ty grass slippers are turned out
soled with leather. Some of the
mats are made with the Object of
replacing in the market Japanese
mats of a similiar kind, and cer-
tainly the patterns on show are
very attractive looking articles,
and deserve to get a good sale.—

THE AMERICAN. ENGINEER
In the sachels of American en-
gineers who are soon to (board
ship for Europe will be specifica-
tions which might appropriately
be labeled, “Plans for the trans-
fer of a little bit of Texas and Ok-
lahoma to a corner of sunny
France.” As was so often pre-
dicted during the war, our friends
the French, having sampled our
technical skill, are calling for it.
This particular party of Amer-
icans will construct the first oil
pipe line in continental Europe,
outside of the Rumanian fields.
The United States navy built a
similar line across Scotland dur-
ing the war, thus saving a hazard-
ous trip through submarine in-
fested waters for allied tankers.
The French are up against it for
coal. They are largely depend-
ent for fuel upon oil, imported
throug Havre. Hitherto it has
been carried by rail or water to
Paris, but the railroads and the
Seine are clogged with traffic The
burden will be eased by the in-
genious dvice which American en-
terprise instituted in tapping the
mineral reservoirs of the west.
In certain specialized fields of
endeavor French technical men
have led the world. They have
concentratetd on such problems.
In the manufacture of various
products requiring a high degree
of skill the French trademark has
been the stamp of excellence. For
obvious reasons they have led in
producing effective artillery, and
the French 75 was the allied gun.
They were quick to see the value
of the airplane and they have
gone a long way with the gasoline
engine. In industrial engineer-
ing they have 'been, as in agricul-
ture, intensive. But the Ameri-
can engineer is the fellow who
has put over big things in a big
way.
It might be said that our engin-
eers are to the French what Foch
was to the American generals.
Foch was the stratigist who sur-
veyed the whole war map and laid
the big plans; the American gen-
erals were tacticians, specializing
on local problems.
We like to point with pride to
the Panama Canal, a stupendous
engineering stunt which was half
a medical job. We accomplished
this because our experts solved
the medical problem that stump-
ed the French.
The development of untapped
sections of the earth call for the
kind of imagination which in so
short a time has uncovered the
potential wealth of America and
made the United States the. rich-
est countr on earth.
The motor truck road through
tthe wilderness, a catch basin be-
tween two mountains converted
into a reservoir, the irrigation
system through the desert are
the kind of jobs which the Amrri-
can engineer has been trained to
do and to relish. South Ameri-
ca, Asia or Africa—any old shack
wnere he can hang his hat—is
home to him. And Europe, ris-
ing from the ruins, sees that his
drive and resourcefulness can be
used even in the places where our
civilization had its birth and
where the Roman originally pav-
ed the way for progress with
roads and aqueducts. — Uncle
