HANKOH 1S FOGAL REVOLUTIN PO City Is Important Geograph- ically to Either of War- ring Factions. “Hankow, present focal point of the Chinese revolution, is one of the world's greatest inland ports,” says a bulletin from the headquarters of the National Geographic Society. “Lying about 600 miles up the Yangtze, Hankow is as important geo- graphically to either of the warring Tactions as Chicago would be if a civil war were raging in the United States. Hankow has only one railroad. but the | rivers and streams of China form com- mercial arteri from which produce from nine vinces flows into the Hankow mark while the port is equally important as a distributing point for foreign commerce destined to the Chinese interior. “Hankow occupies the north bank of the Yangtze, where the Han pours its muddy torrent. On the opposite side of the Han lies Hanyang, and across the mile-wide Yangtze, Wuchang, the latter a venerable town which was flourishing when Hankow was a fishing hamlet. Both Hanyang and Wuchang now are a part of ‘Greater Hankow,’ with more than a million and a half inhabitants. “The Hankow River front is an amazing conglomeration of shipping. There are ungainly junks, but they move about the water in the hands of expert rivermen as easily as modern vessels in our busy Eastern harbors. Some of them, displaying rotten hulks with gaping holes above the water line, cause the traveler to wonder how they stay afloat, while now and then a huge high-pooped craft, like a floating circus 'wagon, edges its way shoreward. 25,000 Native Boats Trade. Legal Profession Held Generation Behind Medicine By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, April 30.—The legal profession in the United States is viewed as being a gen- eration behind that of medicine, whereas Canada is declared to produce better lawyers than this country in the annual “Review of Legal Education in the United States and Cenada” of the Carne- gle Foundation for the Advance- ment of Teaching. The Review was issued by Alfred Z. Reed, staff member since 1913. One of the chief faults of the American legal profession, Mr. Reed explained, is the absence of a directory. including the names of all lawyers in the country, corresponding to the present med- ical directory. Such a directory, he said, would aid greatly in tracing fake attor- neys and ambulance-chasing law- yers. their loose-fitting clothing resemble pajama-clad citizens on parade, but the wearers are by no means ready to retire. Business in Hankow is almost a religion, and nearly every man seen on the street has to do with the enor- mous amount of commerce that flows through and past the port. “If a traveler knows the advertis- code in Hankow, he can locate any type of business by reading the shapes and colors of the shop signs which pro- ject over the narrow thoroughfares. r instance gold platers use salmon- colored boards with green characters. Druggists' boards are gilded. Black, gold, red and green are the predomi- nating colors.

By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, April 30.—Along with |a charge that $20,000,000 graft was be- ing paid annually for the protection of speakeasies in New York plans were announced yesterday for a campaign by a citizens’ committee to extermniate the speakeasies, estimated as numbering 32,000. The graft charge was made by Canon William S. Chase, superintendent of the International Reform Federation, in a letter to Police Commissioner Grover A. Whalen. He charged that the commis- sloner was granting “what amounts to a license to each of the 32,000 speak- easies in the city.” He said that if the State and city authorities did not close them President Hoover's law enforce- /ment commission and citizens could force the issue. The campaign against the speakeasies was announced by David Barnett, chair- man of the Prohibition Educational League, who said that a constitutional campaign committee had been organ- ized, and that a public meeting would be held in Grand Central Palace tomor- row night to take steps for the exter- mination of speakeasies.

ATLANTA, Ga., April 30.——A report of the American Bible Society that a million more Bible were distributed throughout the world during the past year than in any previous year will be made by the permanent committee on Bible cause . for the Presbyterian Church, Upfted States, at the General Assembly of the church at Montreat, N. C, May 16-23, it was announced here Sunday. More than 11,000,000 Bibles were put Into circulation the past year, over 4,500,000 going to China. An appre- clably greater demand was noted from L:x’tdln American countries, the report said. Last year the Bible was translated for an Eskimo tribe, bringing the total tongues in which the book has been made readable to 853, with an actual circulation of 182 different languages. The report, which will be ‘submitted by Dr. W. L. Lingle, Richmond, Va, chairman, stated that for 95 years the American Bible Society has been pub- lishing the Bible for the blind in the Braille and other systems and that 75,000 copies have been issued to the blind the past year. Increased produc- tion has decreased the price for the sightless, the report indicated. December 8 was recommended in the report for Universal Bible Sunday.
