Hallock, Now in China, | Tells of Political Turmoil There In Interesting Letter From Shanghai or The following interesting letter was received by the Post from Rev. G. H C. Hallock, a former resident of Dallas, now located in Shanghai, China: Dear Editor—Wars in China suggest sending you “Wu-ti,” the Chinese god of war. He is seated. Behind is his armor-bearer. The general idea about Wu-ti is that he delights in war. That is not the Chinese idea of him. Once a man nine feet high, he did great exploits in war, yet he is best known for his loyalty to his friends and for protecting the weak. Officials and scholars worship him as the ideal of loyalty, soldiers do it to make thém brave and protect them in battle, and the people worship him to protect them from war’s horrors. He is called “Peace Rringer, Protector, Great God of Loyalty.” But he makes not peace, nor protects nor makes loyal, so is a failure. He’s also called ‘Warrior break out constantly, the Chinese war- lords fighting each other—not fighting for freedom, but for money—to squeeze money from rich and poor alike. The most fighting is where the loot is richest.

Greenwood Kiwanis celebrated O'Leary night Wednesday at its din- ner meeting in’ Colonial Tea Room, in honor of Rev. J. J O'Leary who was recently “elected "national chapiain of the Disabled. American War Veter- “ans. Rev. Father O'Leary was elected to the high post at the national convention held last week in Detroit. Wilkes-Barre sought the 1930 convention but lost it to New Orleans by a ‘margin. of ten votes.

Business and banking authorities are agreed, however, that the expansion of credit has been so rapid that its momentum has carried it past the dan- ger line until it threatens to destroy the very foundation upon which" it rests Confidence. Mr. Cooke states, that it is not the’ rpose of the American Creditors Association which he represents, to check or hamper the growth and ex- pansion of credit business, but to make increased credit business practicable through providing the means of hand- ling credit business upon a sound basis. HE : “We want not fewer, but more charge account customers,” “But we also need a better understanding between dealer and customer, between creditor and debtor, a sense of mutual understand- ing responsibility and fair dealing.” “T'hese principles are, of course, uni- versally recognized by all business authorities,’ but their application to business, in order to increase sales, keep prices down, and eliminate credit losses, is an ever-recurring problem. “Advisory service along these lines in one of the functions of the Ameri- can Creditors Asociation, said Mr. Cooke, “and all our representatives are under obligation to render all possible co-operation to local merchants. No charge is made for the advisory ser- vice, which is given solely in the in- terest of better business. The American Creditors Associa- tion maintains representation in all principal cities in the United States and Canada and is serving over 100,- 000 merchants and professional men. As Pennsylvania manager, Mr. Cooke will have direct supervision of 14,000 accounts and will be glad to make an appointment with anyone interested and go over the service which he rep- resents. gs Additional Dallas Personels Mrs. Earl Monk and Mrs. Russell (Jase and their children were luncheon guests of Mrs. I.

Besecker CO Lake St. Dallas, Pa | Recently I have received letters froni bAmerics, suggesting that since “China has altogether gone to the bad and the Chinese are absolutely impossible” and since our “work among them has gone for nothing” then I should “quit and | come home.” I hope you don’t think thus. The masses of Chinese though reminding one of “dumb-driven cattle” are still friendly as ever. The war lords, the Nationalists, the Reds, the bandits, wars and evil propaganda are disturbing elements; but they are NOT China nor the Chinese. Terrible they are; but they do not represent the Chinese and their attitude toward us. Most of our Christians have kept loyal and have stood by us in time of real danger. This is true not only of Chris- tians, but of many heathen too who have helped and protected us at much risk to themselves. The trouble in China has come from a fiercely ag- gressive and “noisy minority,” who make the great mass suffer untold hardships. The Chinese are not ‘‘im- possible” and what Christianity has done for China during all these years has not ‘gone for nothing” but is planted deep in myriads of hearts of men, women and children. Shall we desert the Chinese because a compara- tively few are wicked? A thousand times NO! Not only for Christianity’s sake but for humanity's sake the Chinese com- mon people’s need calls us today. The wars and bandits have made sad havoc in many places and the famines, caused in some places by too little rain and others by too much rain, have brought millions to starvation. The Chinese “government” has made a wonderfully great show of helping on paper but has done comparatively nothing to save the starving. The Chinese Red Cross and Famine Relief people are working hard but their ef- forts and their funds are hopelessly inadequate for the task. And for some reason very little help has come from organizations abroad so the famine- stricken people are indeed in an ex: ceedingly bad way. I have never known a time when the lot of the com- mon people was as hopeless as it is to- day. Oh, that I were a multi-million- aire and were a thousand young men so that I could throw myself into the breach and help save wat least the mothers and children who are:dying like flies in many places in China. I am not in a place ravaged by famine but should any readers of your excel- lent paper desire to help save life they can send gifts to me by draft, personal check, postoffice money order or by U. S. notes in registered letter and I shall do my best to see. that they go to the most needy places in the famine districts, and so their gifts will go to feed the hungry and relieve suffering. With best wishes and kindest regards, Yours in Christ's Glad Service, REV. H. G. C. HALLOCK.

PHONE 326 “New: Money Is Just As Hard To Get As Ola Much Stnpler, Sealler Smaller wal Harder to Counterfeit,y New Bills Are Now| In Circulatign The new United States currency was put in circulation Wednesday by local banks. It has been a gigantic task to prepare nn entirely new form of paper money for: the 118,000,000 citizens of the United States. The Treasury Depart- ment has realized the need of a sim- plified, well-plabpned scheme by which the various issues, such as silver cer- tificates, gold certificates, Federal Re- erve notes, national «bank notes, ete. might be made in a uniform design for cach of the eleven denominations of bills from $1 to $10,000. Therefore, as a part of the general federal policy of greater economy and increased effi- ciency, a decrease in size and a uni- formity of design of the paper money of the United States has been adopted. More Convenient For many years there has been a public demand for a more convenient size than the old bills, which have been in use since 1861. The new bills are only about two-thirds the size of the old, are ‘more economical to manu- facture and are approximately the size of the paper currency that has already been in use in the Philippine Islands for a number of years and which has been found by money handlers, such as bank tellers, paymasters and others, to be more convenient in every respect than the larger size. The small notes will generally fit into pocketbooks without being rolded which was not the case with the old bills—this fre- quent folding land creasing eventually breaks the fibre of the paper and hastens its deterioration and retire- ment from circulation. Design The design of every one of these bills is radically different from the old ones except the $1 bill, which is similar. The central idea of the new designs is the representation of each denomi- nation ‘by the portrait of one farnous American, instead of the hodge-podge that kas existed and made it so easy for the counterfeiter and “money- raiser” in the past. The public is ex- pected to learn that the portrait of Washington on the front of the bill denotes a $1 bill, w portrait of Jeffer- son a $2 bill, ete, and thyat the picture of a building on the back of a note high A $100.77 A scheme of ornate designs for the backs of the higher denominations has been adopted to make it easier to de- test bills “raised” from denominations below $100 to higher amounts. Thus this new simplification of design ‘makes “bill-raising” and counterfeit- ing more difficult as the public will learn to know the denominations by the pictures on them as well as by the figures in the corner.” The crook who chages a bill from a lower denomina- tion to a higher one by altering the figures will then have more difficulty in plying his dishonest trade. The followig portraits and designs have been adopted for the faces and backs of the eleven denominations: Portrait On Front o* Bill 7 | DALLAS TO GET JUNIOR- SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL The following letter, which is self-explanatory, was received this week by A. P. Cope, county super- intendent of schools, and forwarded to the Dallas Board of Education: July 15, 1929. Dear Mr. Cope: This is to advise you that the Pennsylviania. Department of Edu- cation will approve the addition of grades eleven and twelve to the program of studies of Dallas borough high school, grade eleven to be installed for 1929-30 and grade twelve for 1930-31. It is understood that the Dallas borough school will be reorganized as fa six-year junior-senior high school and that all requirements for classification on the junior-senior high school basis will be complied with. This action approves the applica- tion for permission to extend the program of studies of the school previously filed with the depart- ment. Sincerely yours, WILLIAM H.

After coming out of a long battin slump the Dallas club has apparently hit its strike to gain a two-game lead for second place over its Beaumont rivals, who have been on its heels throughout the race. While Dall was winning over Beaumont, Bast Dallas took advantage of the tail-end Roaring Brook club by driving home a 15 to 1 victory and landing into third place tie with Beaumont. ; The Hunlocks Creek boys cam i within an ace of sharing third place honors when they lost one of the hadest fought games of the season : West Wyoming by a 2 to 1 score, giv- ing the city boys a fires: game lead on the top position. 3 While West Wyoming has a 200 ball club it does not mean that they have the pennant by clinging to first place.
