In the big health movement In Chln& The funds for establishing these health centers, for demonstrations of hew to care for babies, for health lectures for the women, for babies' dispensaries and for a general educational campaign, will be raised bj the American I. W. C. A. aa part of It* m program of world service for women and girls In 1920. g Dr. Ida Kabn, In a recent appeal to modern Chinese women said, "Let oar women of education In Peking and slsewhere gather themselves together to work for the schools, Red Cross and I. W. C. A., and everything else which bespeaks the betterment of the country, Instead of staying at home to play poker and 'sparrow,' and going out to attend endless dinners, tea parties and dances. "Let us rally our forces and help the ship of state to move safely. One perron cannot accomplish much, but one or two hundred millions of women can work wonders. Let us go back to a more Spartan-like simplicity of living and let us build up social service until ivery city In China Is sanitary, every section of the town has its proper ichools, and every child, whether boy or girl, Is sent to such schools. True social service brings democracy In Its train, and we who are citizens of a new republic can help to make It truly I great by preaching ana living aemoc [racy all tlie time. Why not learn to do our household duties, deeming it I effeminate to be waited upon by maids I and slave girls aM the time? H "The status of womeu In China, I while leaving much to be desired, still I s quite hopeful when we consider that she Is Just emerging Into the sles terhood of the nations. Our men can depend upon us to bear the burdens of the day, for nowhere Is there a more industrious, diligent and persevering womanhood than In China." Dr. Kahn is lecturing In this country on the needs of her fellow country women, In the Interests of the Y. W. C. A. Educational Campaign which plahs to acquaint people with all phases of Y. W. C. A. work In the CJnlted States, South America, China, Japan, India and Europe. This educa- j Clonal campaign will be followed by an active effort to raise the $3,000,000 needed for service for women throughout the world. CHINESE WOMEN HAVE FINANCIAL ABILITY. ~ 1?J V \AJ r A r.amnalxn I n?y uarrivu i ??. w. < v. "Ovsr the Top." Much has been said about the honesty and skill of the Chinese business man. The world has neglected to mention the financial ability of Chinese women. They proved this ability In the last financial campaign of the T. W. C. A. In Tientsin. Ordinarily three weeks are allowed In which to raise the budget by subscription after the finance committee has decided upon the sum necessary to carry on the work of the coming year. The Tientsin campaign was carried on entirely by Chinese women and broke all records by going over the top In ten days with a large surplus aver the budget. I WOMEN EXCEED MEN IN JAPANESE FACTORIES i ? ; 850,000 Japanese Women Work at Average Daily Wage of Ten to Twenty Cents for a i Twelve Hour Day. i i There are more woman in industry i In .Japan than there are men, accord- ! to 21 siiiHMnent rtMiMitly made by the j Wnr Work Council of the Young Wo| mon's Christian Assooiulion. Tito world wnr lias brought 8o0,000 ' womon and girls into the daily grind | of industry aei-nrdng to this statetuont; 80,<XX) of tliem little girls under I fifteeu years of age who work twelve hours at a wage of ten to twenty cents a day, that the world may have silk dneeses and munitions. In Tokyo alone, a city of two and one-half million people, there are 100,000 women employed In sixty-two Industries and businesses varying from work as telephone operators, clerks, stenographers and bookkeeper* to work In silk and other sorta of factories and domestic work. Each year thousands of these women go back to their homes In the country, broken In health and victims of tuberculosis because of the poor conditions under which they work and live. They are housed in dormitories I in th* fartni-r pomnound. These dorml tories are frequently unsanitary. The (Iris work long hours, have no recreation and on finishing their long day go immediately to bed, oftentimes a bed which a girl who works at night has been sleeping In all day. As part of Its world service for women, the Young Women's Christian Association plans to build dormitories In manufacturing towns where girls may live cheaply under healthful physical and social conditions, to send out secretaries who can introduce recreation Into the factory compound and direct games and social life. This is done with the co-eperatlon of the factories' managers and proprietors. One of the most Influential of these Is Mrs. Suzuki, the most prominent woman manufacturer In Japan, who Is owner and manager of a firm which erported $11,000,000 worth of bean oil to Amerl"- t year. Recently Mrs. Suzuk, decided to employ one thousand women In her offices She could not find enough well trulned ones so she established a permanent school where Japanese girls may be trained to enter the business world. The greatest danger ahead of Japan, she says, Is In its I an/1 Tnnan'l |rvwtu? uiaiciiaiioiiif ??.. greatest Deed, tbe development of hei women. + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + 1 4 4 4 NATIONAL FRIENDSHIPS 4 4 DEPEND UPON WOMANKIND 4 4- 4 4 Japanese Diplomat Saya Man 4 4 Atone Cannot Create Interna* 4 4 tlonal Friendliness. 4 4 4 4 International friendship be- 4 4 tween nations depends largely 4 4 upon the friendly fetllng between 4 4 the women of those nations, ae* 4 4 cording to representatives of the 4 4 Japanese embassy in Washington 4 4 Their theory is that thwe can 4 4 be no firm friendship between 4 4 two nations unless the women of 4 4 those two countries know and 4 4 like one another, as co-operation 4 4 between nations, as In the state 4 4 and in the family, Is based on co- 4 4 operation between men and wo- 4 4 men. 4 4 Therefore, if Japan and Araeri- 4 4 ca are to have a real, lasting 4 4 friendship, to really know and 4 4 understand one another, the wo- 4 4 men of the two nations must 4 4 learn to play together, to study 4 4 together and to think together. 4 -f- The Y.
