NANKING (#).—Confucianism, under the Natlonalist regime, has lost its last claim to be the state religion of China. The Nanking government has de- creed that nothing be done to prevent veneration to the memory and teach- ::5! of the great sage, but the old| lue) nce of Confucious has crumbled under the weight of modernistic na- tionalism, This summary of Nanking's attitude toward the ancient faith and code | which has moulded Chinese thought and conduct for more than 2,000 years was given the Associated Press by a direct” descendant of Confucious, Wwho is also a member of the Nationalist government. .

She was always fond of the out- dgors. One of the eucalyptus trees she planted when a girl still stands in the dooryard of the old Henry home in ‘Whittier, Calif. The house the Henrys occupied in Waterloo has been torn down to make room for city expaneion. Charles Henry, father of Mrs. Hoover, was a banker. George E. Lichty, a wholesale grocer of this city, used to haul little Lou Henry from school on his sled in Winter and in Summer she prevailed on him to haul her about in her red toy wagon. Active in Outdoor Sports. ‘Tea parties and dolls did not play so much of a part in the early life of Lou Henry as did outdoor sports. Her par- ents heartily approved of her athletic activities and when the family moved to ‘Whittier, Calif., from Waterloo, they employed a physical instructor to come out from Los Angeles to give their daughter private lessons. The .residents of that town and of Waterloo were not at all surprised to hear that Mrs. Hoover had been made head of the Girl Scouts, knowing her girthood love of outdoor life. She used to ride horseback and would = often shoulder a little rifle and go into the woods hunting for small game. ‘The life of the youngster who was so fond of adventure swung into strange wide trails when her path crossed that of Herbert Hoover, the young senior at Stanford University and when he left for Australia he and the girl who had studied along with him in the university ‘were tacitly engaged. When Hoover was offered the chance to go to China under the Chinese government’s department of mines and railways he sent a long cablegram to Monterey, Calif., where Lou Henry was then living. Her reply went winging back to him and scon he was crossing the ocean to get the girl whom mutual friends declared “was made for him.” Turned Home Into Hospital. Again adventure claimed them when Hoover, with fla eeks, home on her bicycle to try and save her home from being looted and later, with splendid heroism, made her iurn her home into a hospital and personally care for the wounded.

There’s considerable difference be- tween a safe and a refrigerator but the idea is the same. A good safe guards valuables; a good refriger- ator guards food-—not against theft but against bacteria. You can’t afford to take chances on milk for youngsters or meat for grown-ups. You can't be too careful about food. Safeguarding food is safeguarding health and food remains healthfully safe only when it is kept at a temperature always below 50 degrees. The quiet General Electric Re- frigerator supplies thiszgerfccz refrigeration. It is remarkably dif- GENERAL @ ELECTRIC ferent from all others. All the mechanism is up on top, sealed in an air-tight steel casing—so abso- lutely automatic that you do not ceven oil it! It is easiest to keep clean because it is porcelain finished inside and out and it is up-on-legs with lots of “broom-room” underneath. The coils, placed on top, radiate the mild heat drawn from inside the refrigerator and cause a steady, gentle upward cutrent which keeps dust from settling.
