Of those who loved the easy, jnzzless age before the war, some are beginning to complain of the tide of sound dver rising all around them. Stanley Rowland has Just protested at length against “the crime of nolse,” In an article in the Nineteenth ntury, Motor-horns cause him angulsh, motorcycles fret his nerves, jazz music he cannot tol- erate, But the growing nolses of the home fret him as much as the in- ovitable racket of the streets, the cafes and dance halls, Those Mr, Rowland flalls with his pen include persons who slam doors instend of quietly turning the knob, and those who walk with pompous poundings of their shoes., The man who rustles his newspaper with crack- ling explosions also bothers the ear of Mr, Rowland, and so also the man who puts things—books, chairs, any- thing—down with a bang. He loves, or says he does, the quiet and gentle conversationalist, but he abhors those who brogdcast thelr every word. It noise keeps on breeding noise, the writer declared, lha prospect 1s pandomonium. So far nothing has about it. SHANGHAI “GETS” MONEY —_— Leads the Ports of China in- Amount for Year been done of Revenue Taken in of 1922, Shanghal, Oct. 5.—More than a third of China's customs revenues was derived from entrics through the port of Shanghai, according to the annual trade report for 1922 just issued. The gross collection in the year was 21,- 923,000 taels. Great Britain, including the British dependencies and Hong Kong, still maintain a big lead in the gross value k| of Chinese trade, but the United States leads all individual countries, followed by Japan. A report issued by the American consulate shows that declared exports from Shanghai to the United States in the half year ending June 30 last amounted to $29,507,211, an increase of more than eight million over the 1922 figure for the period.

Lions, leopards and e Phants menage the populati slonary jealousy bhewliders @ wild Wapare of the Moshi dis triet, causes many helpless Infants to| be put to death annually, Aspects of life In this new nnu-n‘ territory are deseribed in the 192 port of the country, Hig game & tiplied rapidly In Tanganyika dnr!n. the war, Lions frequently satisty their faste for human flesh at the expense of life, and whole villages have been terror- lzed by thelr presence. In the first half of the year rewards were pald for the destruction of 300 llons and 500 leopards, In Tabora district alone 67 people were killed by lons. Elephants do great damage to crops, often rulning a whole planta- tion In a single night, or, entering the viliages, they strip the roofs of grain stores and kcatter or consume the contents, The native too often assumes a fantastic attitude In the presence of disaster, and becomos un- willlng or unable to help himself, In Tanganylka witchoraft has as fatal effects on Infants as wild heasts have on adult natives. To the Influ. ence of the medicina-men, says the report, may be attributed the bar- barous practice of infanticide which prevalls among the Wapare In the Moshl district. Children born with some abnormality, or the offspring of parents who have failed to under- g0 Initiation into certain tribal cere. monies, are done to death by delib. erate starvation and neglect, or by ex. posure to the unhealthy climate of the low country, (®ten parents would of their own accord abandon such childgen, and in many cases have preferred to give them away to strangers. ‘When the elders of the tribe were addressed on this matter, there was a declded tendency to recognize its evils and to adopt more enlightened ideas, but a few were against the aholition of the custom on the ground that the destruction of the tribes certainly would follow. According to these sages, life is altogether too precarious, and the number of acts or omissions which they can cite as being fatal is amazing; even to plant a tree was pronounced to be equivalent to doom- ing oneself to death. Another difficulty confronting Brit- | ish administrators in the territory-is that of rivalry among missionaries. “It is greatly to be regretted that a spirit of jealous rivalry has mani- fested {tself in certain districts be- | tween Christain miggions of different denominations,” the report declares. “It arises from a very natural and sincere belief in the superiority of that branch of the common faith which it is their pride and thelr duty to preach to the heathen, but it has often resulted in an undignified com- petition to extend the scope of the mission beyond limits which a proper degree of influence and control would demand, and in attempts to set up schools In juxtapositiog of those of another denomination. This open dis- | play to the pagan of religlous differ- ences cannot but react to the damage of the Christlan faith. “Christian missionaries, by offering one doctrine here, another close by, and still another a few miles away, must achieve little more than the complete bewilderment of the pagan, native, and it would be well if Chris- tian societies would recognizg that the principle of spheres of influence is ultimately to the clear advantage of Christianity as a whole, no less than to that of pagan populations.’ rm tours and working for T Their boldness is ineredible, | ‘ OPERA LACKS SUPPORT Bumos Alres Opors Houses Fall 10 lhumwumifl", o Shows.
