Good as goldmines are the warm oases of chill, bleak, mountainous Jehol, the buffer province between "China Proper" and "Manchuria Proper." Spouting hot springs make the oases ideal for growing opium. Opium has made vastly rich the Governor of Jehol, walrus-mustached War Lord Tang Yulin. Last week Tang's strapping big North Chinese soldiers on their small, shaggy Mongolian ponies, jogged down precipitous mountain passes to pot shot at the mighty clanking War Machine of Imperial Japan as it debouched from the railway...
...Ideal for such fighting is the ancient Chinese city of Shanhaikwan, the perfect corner. Surrounded by its own 40-ft. wall and backed by China's Great Wall, Shanhaikwan is a 20th Century Thermopylae, the gateway defending China proper from Manchurian invaders.

Another shock of the week was a sudden announcement by Tokyo police that they had caught four men red-handed in a plot to assassinate Premier Viscount Makoto Saito. Was there perhaps something strange about this? There...
...cent each at the "Penny Cafeteria," but honored as currency nowhere else. Thus the casual passerby is assured that the object of his generosity is not a beggar controlled by a racket, and that he gets something better for his money than needled beer. It is not an ideal plan, but these are not ideal times, and the system excludes most of the evils of panhandling...
