WOMEN AND WORK
World Getting New View of tht
"Limitation* of Sex."
Even In Japan Feminine Worker* Art
Invading the Faotorlee, Store*
and QfWcea.
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.

PAST MASTER OF TRACKERS
Nfttlv* Australian la Mo rm Deadl y
Than Bloodhound Whan Trailing
Criminal Through Deaart.
; The art of the profeaalonal tracker t*
? fuRclnatlnK thing to tfateh. 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." "Fletcri
erlze". may vet make Fletcher Immor
tal. even lis "derrick" preserves In the'*
dictionaries the name of a once fa
mous hangman.
New Liflht-Weight Alloys.
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

Iron and other ores are known to
exist In large quantities In the repub
lic of Andorra, where Flake Warren
Is establishing one of his single tax
colonies, but the mineral wealth i$
yet entirely unexplolted. The ques
tion of mlulug concessions la com
paratively simple and some develop
ment In looked for. Under the pro
visions of a law enacted two years
ago, the general council of Andorra
pomes a representative for explora
tion and negotiations who Is author
ized to transfer mining Interest* to
an operating company. There Is a i
good municipal road through the Ba^ }
lira valley and abundant opportuni
ties for tho development of hydro
electric i>o\ver. As the ores show be
tween 04 ami 'TO per cent of iron and
Telna have been fonnd yielding hema

Is expected that the mining Interests
of the republic will soon be Improved.
