Tl-IE MINIATURE CITY BYBERT Biaiskiisi Tong warsl 'Fierce 'looking men with mustaches, creeping turtiyely in the darkl 'Streets in which there is no saiety. Shadows lurking near the buildings. This is the imaginary Chinatown. Shops, ordinary shops. Antiques and chinaware on the shelves. Novelties on the stables. Well-mannered Chinamen to serve you, quiet, calm, and businesslike. People fcorning in a.nd out. Tourists tempted 'by the beautiful silk pajamas. This is the real -Chinatown. YOUNG Cl-IINA IN LOS ANGELES By BARBARA IVIANN 'Little children, whether black, white, yellow or red, have much in common. As I strolled through Chinatown Tl was particularly interested in young China. To Americans, the Chinese child is especially interesting 'because ot the contrast between them and our children, but underneath they are alike, aside from their little slanting eyes and yellowish skin. They 'play tag, hide and seek, and other games, just like American children. In the picture, the little boy is dressed up tor a 'holiday. Only on rare occasions are they allowed to wear their ceremonial dress, and it is considered quite an honor. Their finest traits are faithfulness, and 'love ot truth. lt is easily seen that these little children who play so happily in the sun today will, .in the near future, grow to be fine, educated citizens in the wor.Id of tomorrow.

Old men and women bargaining in the markets. little children clamoring in the streets, young boys and girls calling to one another between doorways, an old man sellfng his vegetables. Such is a daytime lively China- town. Midnight in Chinatovtn, Moonlight flooding the dreamy, romantic streets between tall buildings, Now and then a lonely figure slinks from a dark alley into one of the houses, No traces of the busy, vivacious city is left, and remains only the silent, lonely streets. CHINESE BOY SCOUTS OE LOS ANGELES By LAURENCE RODSON Many years ago, twelve Chinese boys, with the help of an American Scoutmaster from Los Angeles headquarters, and a troop committee, one member being from the Chamber of Commerce, organized a Boy Scout Troop. They had their troop head- quarters downtown, The troop was organized the same as the American Scout troops of today, They went on hikes, entered field meets, and participated in the various other scout activities. But now this troop is no more. lt is disbanded and the exact reason is not known. Some day, perhaps soon, as they are building another bigger and newer China- town, so may they organize another Scout troop for the benefit of the Chinese boys of Los Angeles.

HOW AND WHY HE CUTS HIS HAIR By ALICE COHN When Johnny American has his hair cut, in Maine, or Florida, or California, there is no special meaning attached to the opera- tion, no symbolism in regard to the effect achieved. He may clip his locks as he pleases without causing his ancestors to turn in their graves or bringing down upon himself the reproaches of the householdg but not so Johnny Chinaman! ln China a boy's hair- dressing has relation not only to 'the way the gang is doing it, but also to Fate, and Religion, and a whole unseen world of pow- erful spirits who seem to take an almost morbid interest in the appearance of his - A head. As in many parts of China the weather is very warm, the lfttle crown, or frnge, of hair worn by hundreds of Chinese boys, seems to the casual visitor merely a natural and picturesque solution of the hair-ciittinv question For this treatment all the lower part of the head and Summit are close'y shaved, leavinq a narrow band of hair, from an inch and a half to three inches wide, encircling the head. This is a cool and quaint arrangement, one that nneets the demand for comfort in a hot climate, and is universally becoming to the round-faced, black-eyed celestial urchn. One might think these reasons enough for the popularity of the crown style - but, nol Johnny Chinaman does not wear that crown because it is becoming, or com fort- able, or any other such trivial reason. The crown is his mark of identi ic.1t'on, hs passport through the Thirty Barriers of Life, and he wears it until he is sixteen yaars of age, lest during his early days he should be barred on the road of life, and have to go down to the spirit world and await another rencarnation. As long as he wear- th? crown, the demon guardians of the Barriers know that they are not to molist him, but to let him pass in safety. The Thirty Barriers of Life, as stated by the Buddhist religion, are, indwrd, hard to pass. They symbolize the danffers and difficulties of infancy and childhood, and all devout Buddhist mothers and fathers wish their sons to have everv possible aid in ' ' th h h winning roug t ese perilous places. There are many barriers of alarming title and evil portent, Like- the hero of the old fairy tales, young Johnny Chinaman is con- fronted with obstacles at every step, and no doubt the thought of that crown of hair gives him the comfortable assurance of being specially protected.
