I asked Mine. Ill- a rooka, a widely known Japanese, I1 writes Tyler Dennett in Asia. "I wanted women to b?. good and 1 a wanted to help them to Improve their -a lot," she replied tersely. "I found that \ I could not accomplish what I desired without religion. That conclu- i; slon sent me to study religion from ^ the woman's point of view. I found ^ that there is no hope for women in j, any of the religions of the Orient. ^ They teach that from the cradle to N the grave women are Inferior to men. N They regard women as evil.

ENGLISH ONE-MAN COLLIERY ' c Unique Industry Is Matched by Rail- 1 road That la Onerated in th? v United State*. s One-man businesses are many In s these days of depleted staffs, but a e working coal mine, controlled, super- c vised, and staffed entirely by a single y individual Is something of a novelty, a says London Answers. This one-man colliery is found at G Bcther Heage, Ambergate. The owner works the mine' every day and all day to secure an output of 1,000 tons ' ef coal a year. The mine Is amull, and p the produce near the surface, while the coal is smut?used hitherto in the 1 Manufacture of blacking, but thought r of greater value in war time. The other side of the Atlantic can, a however, match us in one-man Indus- t tries. There, on the Idaho Southern system, is found a road run solely by one man. g The trnck was once a portion of an irrigation system, long since abandoned ; and a high-powered motor car with flanged wheels has been built to run j along the rails. It carries 16 passen- j) gers. and In the two light trailers go jj the freight and luggage. This quaint ? railroad has neither guard nor porter, v yet it has a printed time table of Its j own, and runs its trains strictly on v time. a Had First Call on Dance. j Down at Olinllii?-n oil., tiiirlit ??

She had her dance progrum full. 1 There wasn't a dance left. A murine came up. "May I dance with you?" he asked. s The young woman said she was sorry, hut her program was full. "I am so sorry," site suld. K "1 am sorry, too," replied the young 1 num. "I just came Into the hull, and I did want one dance before I leave for France."

D/uporation of water from Gatun lake, canal zone, reached a new high record during the month of March, thi.<4 von r ouvo % c a. 1 -? , umj o ? u|iuinr iUtviiMUK'S Mugazlne. Calculations show that tin sun withdrew 3.248.000.000 cubic feet of water from the body, the equivalent of 1,1113 cubic feet a second for the period of 31 days. This was one cubic foot a second in excess of the volume of water passing through the penstocks of the Oatun hydroelectric stn tlon, which. during the some month, produced 4,681 ,060 kilowatt I pairs of en ergv.
