A writer in the Now Bast picture* the coming of Japan's "now womau" In ways that would be impressive were there no lOuroye and no world war. We have heard before that bound feet are no more In China, that Telling believes In education tor girls and that all through the Klowvry land the Amerh can Hewing machine Is giving q good account or Itself, we are now assured that Japan, politically modernized for well nlgb half a century, is deep in the task of completing the emancipation o( her wompn from the patriarchal sys tem, say? a writer In the Boston Her 'ald. 1 Vfest numbers of them have found occupations In the factories; other contingents are at work In the offices and in that hewest Innovation of all, the department store. The age of bus iness has at lust dawned /or the island empire, and the click of the typewriter Is heard in the land. Meanwhile there Is a rush of women to the professions. It is the women now who are sought (or the stage, and the demand has been found large enough to warrant the for mation of dramatic schools uttached to tho large theaters. A woman doctor used to be an impossibility In Japan. At this year's examination for medical nractlce lp Tokyo 27 out of 80 candi dates who passed were women. And the call for woman teachers In the schools grows /ipace. Compare this peaceful typo of evolu tion with the changes which hnve come to the western people under the stress of wur. In our own land the women, once socially active mainly through their churches and clubs, are now fast closing up Into a great co operative ogranlzatlon which has foixl conservation for its detail and nation al defense for Its unifying spirit and end. At a demonstration given the other day by Knglish women In Hertford shire 1,000 of them gathered to show their proficiency in trimming ditcher, hoeing roots, carting, and u dOfcen other kluds of farm work which they had taken up to liberate the men, and an eyewitness describes the remarka ble showing made by these "bands of llthe-llmbed maidens, with brown fuces under slouch hats, inarching In knee breeches and leggings or 'put tees.' " On the battle front American women are helping the allies as driv ers of ambulances and motorcars; lu both France and ICngland women run buses, conduct trains and function In scores of occupations that have been hitherto reserved for men. What would the war amount to were it not for the army of woman workers in the munition factories? Then think of Jlus&ia, which sends out woman war riors to show her men how battles are won. It should be plain that after this struggle the world will never again be exactly the same for women. We shall have the steady evolution of social and Industrial structure such as Japan is now displaying, but we shall also have a new view of (he so-called "limitation of sex." Complete recognition of the fact that women are also Imtmiu be ings Is assured beyond peradventure. Our terms make it easy to have a Victrola for Christmas A big gift at little expense !

The old time weatern plainsman could tratl a deer for two days through the foreet, the modern White mountain Apache of Arltona will follow a moccaalned man over brokwn jagged '?va country ; there are wild to he tribes lu the Interior of Drazll who can track for short dls tances by scent, Hut the king und past master of all trackers. the man who can make an Apache look like an ap prentice liny Scout, t? the black follow of AuHtralla. lie will perform feats of tracking that are almost beyond belief. The native Australian pcoplea are ranked very low in the scale of human* Jty, and it may be because they are the mwt primitive. Qt ??' races that they retain an almost animal delicacy of perception. They add to It. however, a very fine reasoning power In the thing" of the bush, and by combining the two qualities they can tell not only where trie man or the animal they track Is going, but even what he Is doing on the way. The most spectacular exploits of tho trackers have been accomplished In the pursuit of criminals, on whose trail they are more deadly than blood hounds. The Australian mounted po^ llceman takes a black tracker along when be follows a criminal Into desert or bush, and that settles It. The track er will stay on the trail until the end of It Is reached. It may take a day or week or a month ? In one Instance It took ten weeks?but the black fellow never loses the trail for long. He will trail across rocks, across wind-blown sand, -through a tangle of other foot prints, he will pick up the track again If the quarry takes to the water, and he will report accurately the condition of the man pursued, whether he is strptig or weakening. So expert do these hatlves become in tracking that they can recognise a friend or an enemy as readily by his footprints as by his* face. Personal identification of a footprint by an ex; pert black tracker Is accepted as good evidence in a court of law. Such n tracker can even recognize the hoof mark of almost every horn? that Is known to him. 1 -- -? - . - . ? ? WilMttflhy of 8lang. A to hilddle life recalls the Yif. his boyhood with some such ItVchllgent wonder as thnt with which nn elderly woman looks at the fashion plates of her early youth ? "snide," "cheese It," "sheeny," "chestnut," "spoony." or even those of more re rent- coinage, "snap." "sklddoo," "twen ty-three," "thirty cents." They were ar tificially changed with meaning, and their effervescence Is Irretrievably gone, writes Robert P. Utter In Harpt er's. "Lemon" and "lobster" are netu"^ ly as flat. With disappearance of a eertnln kind of early Victorian prud _ery has gone the vogue of such terms n* "Inexpressibles" for trousers. Du Maurler's once famous novel has al most reached the vanishing point In the perspective of time, and we no longer speak of feet as "Trilbys." I? Is not safe, however, to prophesy that because 11 word come from a pfoper name It will fade as fades the fame or notoriety of the person. We have for gotten what "Edgarlsm" Is. but we Mfi!! understand "Bowdlerize."

Two new light-weight alloys are in teresting recent patents. The alloy of aluminum with 10 per cent of calcium, produced by a somewhat difficult op eration. Is claimed to be not only much harder and more durable than alumi num alone, but to be more easily ma chined; It Is also 5 to 10 per cent lighter, unlike aluminum hardened with copper or zinc. It is pronounced especially suitable for automobile a\id aircraft castings, and for other purr poses requiring lightness, strength and resistance to corrosion. The other al loy is a heavier one of aluminum and jron, containing at least 70 per cent of the former, with one to six of tho lat ter. A small amount of zinc, copper, nickel, cadmium, magnesium or man ganese Is allowable, but the proportion of silicon must be kept very low. The special claim for this alloy Is that Its freedom from risk of cracking and Its loereased density, preventing leakage of gases that might cause premature ? xploslon. adapt it for fuses and de tonators for explosive shells. Explosions Compared. A very worthy little effort that ex plosion of ours, which Mr. Lloyd <t eorae heard at Walton Heuth ? but, compared with what nature can do In this direction, -a popgun affair, says tho London Chronicle. When Krakatoa blew her crazy old head o ft four and tUentv years ago, her rage was heard 3.000 miles away. Her commuted duat drifted, miles high, round and round the earth for three years, and gave us such sunsets as had never before been recorded. As to damage, the vixen set up a wave which rocked the waters^of our British lakes and swallowed .'i0 (f villages and .'tfl.SOO people in Java and Sumntra. A Trifle Hlflh. "No more of these temperamental manicures for me." "What's the matter now?" "I had one do my nails this morn ing. She hummed airs from grand i operas." I "That's nothing to get mad about." [ "Trua. but when she finished, I dis covered that she" charges grand opera | prices." Why Should We Wash? Why dot* a hoy object to washing hit neck and ears? Or object still more H?riou>ly to having them washed? I have evolved a scientific and psycho logical 'reason which Is a complete an swer to the ^question, but I prefer to | answer It by making a personal confes- J Mlon based on my own boyhood expe|?* enee, says Edwtn Fuller In the Moth er's Magazine. Am a small boy, I ob jected to washing my own ears because I could not see the dirt and because I believed It unnecessary waste of time which might be used more profitably In play ; and I strenuously objected to u?y mother performing the operation because she always hurt me. There Is no period of the boy's life more trying to the parent than the period between eight and twelve, ex cept only the age of early adolescence. The chief characterise of early boy hood Is Individualism. He now recog nizes himself as an Individual entity not correlated (o society at large. He feels m> obligation to humanity be cause he does not yet realise that ho is an Integral ivart of It. His Individual ism manifests Itself In selfishness and self-centeredness. Spirit of Martyrdom. Here and there may bo found per sons not recognized as great and yet really great. They are working for great Ideas. For their effofts they may be severely punished. Can it be fcald of them that the rest will follow? Surely It can. They are the pioneers. They blaze the paths for other great persons who reap the reward of what they have done. They are very pa thetic, these martyrs. And yet, In a sense, they are not pathetic "at all. They have the Joy of working for some .thing worth while, even of suffering for it and perhaps going down to seem ing defeat. Theirs is the spirit that animates many of the young men at this moment offejijig their lives to their country. Suddenly, by means of their self-sacrifice, life has become enhanced for them and death Itself has taken on a kind of beauty. ? New York Evening Telegram.
