French Broad, two thousand feet above the

resorts in America. 1t is a land Of bright

ADVICE TO WOMEN DOCTORS.
Chinese Minister Says They Should
Go to the Orient and Learn
Medicine.

WI Ting Fang, the new Chinese min.
lister to the United States, is veritable
genius. Besides being accomplished in
Chinese literature, and statesman Of
rare ability, he is a linguist and phil
osopher says a Washington exchange.
He was the principal attraction at the
recent commencement of the Woman's
Medical college in Philadelphia, and, OF
course, was set down for a speech
"Since l came to this country" he said.
Il have met women doctors, LAWYERS
and journalists, but until | received
the invitation to make this address it
had never occurred to me the women
had advanced so far as to have an in.
stitution exclusively devoted to the
training of women for the medical pro.
fession.
Il am particularly interested in this
institution, because of the Chinese girl.
who, after studying here. returned to
her native land, where she has since
made a great success. In China it is
generally believed that there is ono
sphere for women and another for men.
The world has acted upon this belief
for ages. l am glad that women have
gained such a position in the medical
profession that they cannot be re-
moved.
There are medical works in the Chi
nese language containing medical
knowledge gained from the experience
and practice of long ages. 1t is a great
pity that this contribution of knowl-
edge cannot be available to the whole
world because of the great difference
in language. The Chinese attach great
value TO the practice of medicine. If
the good people of the European ma
lions and of America had sent only med
ical missionaries to China, missionary
troubles would happen rarely. If you
we're to ask my advice to-day, young
ladies', should say with Horace Gree
ley: Go west, young lady stop not
on this side of the Pacific, but go I'M
til you arrive in China. Go to China, |
if you find this country too crowded |
in your profession. There is room |
enough and work enough there for all"

about it, but he kept feeling of it all
day. He got home from the Office early
on Monday afternoon, and he couldn' I
move his head a quarter of an inch to
one side or the other.
"Why, what on earth is the matter|'

heavy tread.

you? Perhaps you'd like to have it as
big as a coffee cup!

before permitting myself to believe it,

SCIENCE AND INDUSTRY.

Electricity has just been applied tt
the making of cigarettes and cut to
bacco, and hundreds of hand workers
will eventually be displaced by the
innovation.
South Carolina is now manufactur.
ing all the cotton she produces. North
Carolina, Georgia and other southern
states are also turning out large
part of their cotton in finished goods.
To-day there are a dozen large mills
and 175 lace-malling machines in the
United States. These machines rep
resent an invested capital of nearly
$3,000,000, and turn out annually
$20,00O,00O.
Pennsylvania coal output is great
er than that of all other parts of the
country combined, equal in quantity
to the mine returns to Great Britain,
and larger than is taken from the
mines of all nations in the world eS-
cept the United Kingdom.
The Academy of Natural Sciences
which claims the distinction of hav-
ing been the first scientific body to
issue publication in the United
States, is shortly to resume the dis
tribution of its proceedings in print
ed form. Its earliest publication was
an octave journal, begun in 1917, and
continued until 1912.
1t is well-established fact that
plants can be improved by crossing
and judicious selection quite as sure
ly and effectively as the breeding of
animals. The sugar beet may be
quoted as an example of what culti-
walton may do. The sugar beet of
to-day actually contains about three
times as large proportion of sac
charine matter as it did century
ago.
The average dietary of individuals
in different countries varies greatly.
An English statistcian, Mr.. II. f.
Crawford, finds that an inhabitant of
the United Kingdom consumes much
more meat than Belgian, French
man or German, but in smaller pro
portion of bread and potatoes. More
bread and less meat are eaten in Bel |
GUM than in any other country con-
while a French popularity is |
the apparent small use of milk.
