Yamei Kin Has Ideas About Conditions in

A somewhat novel view Of the war in the East
was presented by DR.. Yamei Kin before the League
FOR Political Education yesterday morning. DR..
Kin takes more lenient view Of Russian "aggres-
sion" and adnires Japan less extravagantly than
Is customary in the Western world. and her ideas
upon the subject supported by a great show

said:
II think taat you Americans do not exactly
derstand what Russia Is doing in the East. You
are Influenced TOO much by the lingo English
press. Il is true that Russia has encroached stead
Sly upon the outlying provinces Of China. but her
rule has been benehcent. China originally acquired
these provinces not by war bat by military coIoniz-

Russia has proceeded iu much the way.

ComDnny Privileges.

That company privileges can be abus-
ed is readily seen from the following
incident:
When Bessie, a four-year-old, came to
live next door to Susie. another four
year-old. it did not take long for an
acquaintance to ripen into an intimate
friendship. Susie had been taught to
give her company always the first
choice of goodies and privileges, but
as her visitors had been different chill
dreu, and the visits not very frequent.
complications had not arisen. With
Bessie, however, as her visits grew to
be everyday affuirs and all day af-
fairs, and as the visiting was all on
one side. the situation grew perplex-
Ing. One day Susie's mamma heard
the following alarming conversation:
Bessie--You shut up.
Susie-I won't You shut up yourself.
"Mrs. c." piped Bessie's voice, ''Su-
sic told me to shut up
But. Bessie" replied Mrs. G., Il

To break mirror to many persons
indicates the death Of the person who
last looked into the mirror or some Sc
rious injury to that person. The saw
age tribes of nearly every country be-
lieyed that striking either the image or
the shadow of any person meant an in
jury to that person. They believed
that the image or the shadow repre-
sented the spirit Of a person. and many
are the tales told Of magicians who in
ficted the injuries on persons they In
f1icted On their images. To drop stone
into water where the image of per-
son was reflected meant death or some
dire disaster.

It was not until 1910 that factory
work for children under nine was pro-
hibited or that children between nine
and sixteen were not allowed to work
more than twelve hours a day. and it
was not until 1902 that the law reQuir-
ed an apprentice to be provided with
two suits of clothing, one of which was
to be new each year. Notwithstanding
this partial protection, when Mrs. Troll
lope wrote the Factory Boy" In 1910
it was illustrated by pictures of rag
ged and e.aaciated children which
would now be regarded only as gross
exaggerations of the truth, but which
then produced no adverse comment
and were perhaps as influential in re-
forming the abuses they displayed as
was "Uncle Toms Cabin" in calling
attention to the evils Of slavery.-New
