THE AMERICUS TIMES-RECORDER ’ CHINESE AND NON—cut lines \ Shanghai’s International Quarter Was Have not Refuge to Many Thousands. By NEA Service SHANGHAI, China, Nov. 17. — Wars are all alike. They’re mighty tough, on the <soidiery—and on the noncombav ants, too. Witness conditions amoong tha, -refugees here. Men, women and children of all nationalities are flocking here on foot, in autos, rickshaw'; and with wheelbarrows, from their war-men ace dhomes to find safety in Shang hai’s foreign settlement, under the guns of foreign warships. Thousands of destitutes are being fed and housed by an inter-church committee, the Chinese Red Cross i Y. M. C. A., Y. W. C. A., and other' organizations. Tempres, warehous es, guild buildings and temporary shelters of matting are used for homes. Americans and Europeans gladly are paying SSO a week in advance for one small bare room in private homes or warehouses. Hotel are over«-crowded and are ehargingex orbitant rates. Private homes are jammed with relatives and 'friends who fled, here for safety. Some people, unable to obtain shelter, have built themselves sheds of matting. The cost of these is enormous—and they rm.y last, but one winter. Some of the larger ref ugee sheds house 1500 people. Doctors and nurses volunteer their services. Educational organi zations are carrying on kindergart en and playground work. Rico and a vegetable are serVed three times a day, with fish or myat at one meal. Clothing is also given refu gees by philanthropic organizations. An added burden is the horde of deserters from the fighting armies. These me nare allowed to enter the refugee quarters only after they have surrendered their guns and uniforms. No matter who wins, the refugee loses— and missionary, social and charitable institutions are kept humping to feed the multitude B BBBKKBBHHHK II LET’S GO ! II fep. | || MEN!

If so, do not forget tie “New England atmosphere. For the “New England atmos phere” is the latest of fashion's fads. It came inti style on Nov. 4, when Calvin Coolidge, native New Englander, descendant of Puritan stock who came over on the Mayflower, was elected presi . dent. | A presidential electa r., of late I years, always has been followed by some new style note keyed to the persons or personalities- of the new incumbents of the White House. It was thus that “Alice , blue” i and “Harding blue” lad their . vogue as color schemes for fsmi- I nine wear. j This time, however, it is the I I traits and traditions >f Coolidge, | i his nasal drawl, his severe out’oek. :on life, his “common sense,” j | which are to be used in an effort 'to create anew a demand for i things savoring of the “good old j days” when life was hard and. I chairs too. As these cannot be expressed in I personal adornment, the note is to be sounded through house furnish ings, which will revert to styles even antedating the .colonial in severity of line and lack of com fort. • ♦ ♦ If this “New Englai d atmos phere” idea can be put across it will mean big business for dealers in antiques, near and real, and for manufacturers of “geni'ne conies.” But it will be a hard life for carcasses accustomed to the yield ing softness of overstu."fed chairs and downy davenports. That, however, is part of the idea. We will be told that indi vidually, as well as a nation, we ’ WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON.
