་
The kinema, chewing gum, cigar ettes and Paris garters and many another alien Innovation have been adopted with such speed and lack of dissent that they are no longer re garded as startling. Now, however, comes a determined attack from within upon an age old institution of the country.
Three local organisations have come forward with a proposal for the abolition of the sacrifices and ceremonies held annually during the seventh moon to appease the appetites and anger of the "hungry spirits," says the China Press. During
the seventh moon which is the next moon it is the practice of the various watchmen and other dictators of the districts to go about the various alleyways and section of | street coming under their jurisdiction and collect funds from shopkeepers and householders. The funds, or a part of them, go toward the furnish- ing of feasts and the engagement of priests and their assistants, who organise procession, chant and burn much josspaper in the streets and run barriers of prayer festooned ropes about the blocks of buildings i this rendered immune to ghostly Į depredation. The spirits command- ing this attention are those forlorn and restless ones which boast no į posterity to render them the custo
mary family rites.
The organisations which have moved against the practice are the | amalgamated street unions of Chapel. Mhe Haining Road Street Union and the National Products Lecture Bereau. At a meeting held on a Sun- day, respresentatives of these bodies decided to attack the superstition by circulating handbills among the shop- keepers asking thest not to give money for the ceremonies, by reques- ting the local authorities to probibit the rites and by writing the various- guilds and suggesting that the money ordinarily set apart for the ghost festival be devoted to some industrial development.

When he showed fight the } thieves made off taking with them' half the note. The Indian gave chase, but did not manage to catch the thieves.
