woMANps PLACE IN CHINA

Tn China, as in other eastern coun-
tries, it is imperatively necessary If
women are to be reached to reach them
by women writes Lady Florence Cecil
in The Woman's Magazine. Though
not absolutely secluded as in Indian
zenanas. a Chinese woman is prac-
tically unapproachable to men who are
not near relatives; she does not, it is
true, turn her back and avert her face
when a stranger appears as Korean
woman does, neither does she veil her
face as a Mohammedan woman would
do; but nevertheless she is kept apart
from intercourse with men, and to lis
ten freely to male teachers, though far
more possible in these latter days OF
emancipation than it ever was before,
is still a difficulty and an impropriety.
A Chinamans best friend never
thinks of asking after his wife or
daughters; they do not appear If he en-
tertains guests; the higher class women
are seldom seen driving out, much less
walking about the streets. A mission
ary of many years experience told me
of breach of etiquette he once made
in bowling to a woman whose husband
he knew intimately; she hurried by,
blushing deeply, and returning no sign
of recognition to so unmannerly a salu-
tation; he never attempted such thing
again, henceforth ignoring any Chinese
woman he might happen to met.
Medical work among them can best
be undertaken by women. In point of
fact the Chinese women flock by thou
sands to the women's hospitals carried
on by woman doctors and nurses. One
woman doctor told me she had dealt
with as many as 5000 out-patient cases
In a month; another woman doctor
worked with her, as we'll as q staff of
Chinese nurses under her entirely
trained by herself. As their shyness of
foreign men and distrust of the mo"
tives of missionaries wear off the
wmen do, indeed, freely attend hospi-
tails stated by male doctors, but un-
doubtedly this particular field of wom-
ems work will always continue to need
many laborers.
Much, too, has been done in the way
of training and teaching young Chinese
women both as doctors and nurses;
they are teachable creatures, very do
cile and eager to learn, deft-hngered,
neat and -voiced-all excellent quail
tiles in nurse or woman-but no orien-
tai can entirely believe in the absolute
necessity for frigid cleanliness and for

HOW THE TURKEY GOT HIS

How was the bird chosen for his post
of honor? When crops failed our pill
grim fathers were forced to fall back
on what their snares or fowling pieces
could bring. AS wild turkeys were not
uncommon, that dish became associ-
ated with festivity.
In an old work called 1.-THE New
England Canaan we read: "Turkies
there are, which divers times in great
flocks have sailed by our doores; ana
then gun (being commonly in redi-
nesse) salutes them with such a cour-
tesie, as makes them take a turne in
the Cooke room. OF these
there have been killed, that have
weighed forty-eight pound a piece.'
The puritan head of a family, severe
as he was, saw nothing irreligious in
plenitude of food. The turkey earned
his perilous distinction because the
pilgrim was willing to celebrate heav-
ems blessings with a feast, and be-
cause he, the turkey, happened to be
grateful to the pilgrims palate and
handy to the pilgrims gun.-Collier's

RUIZ SAYS MAYOR .
LLOYD BROKE FAITH
Challenge Issued In Recall Movement
Directed Against Santa Bar
bara's Chief Execu-
tive

SANTA BARBARA, Feb 19.-The re-
call petitions directed against Mayor
Clio l.. Lloyd were not presented to the
council, indicating that the required 544
names had not been secured.
B. P. Ruiz, who heads the movement,
issued the following statement of his
side of the case, including challenge
to Mayor Lloyd:
Referring to the newspaper reports
concerning the circulation of the recall
petition and Mr.. Lloyds remarks, let
me say that 1 object to many Of his
statements because they are untrue.
He does not need to get behind Chief
of Police Ross and attempt to make it
appear that gentleman is to blame; 1t
is Mr.. Lloyd himself who is on trial
Chief Ross is not responsible for the
MAYORS promises, and l have no fight
to make upon him.
'I am quite willing to meet Mr.. Lloyd
at any time or place he may select and
ask him before witnesses what he told
me during the campaign, and what he
told others. 1t is a fact that Mr.. Lloyd
went around offering the patronage of
the mayors Office to those who would
support him."
The recall petition sets forth the fol-
lowing grounds for Lloyd's removal:
"The following general statement of
the grounds for which the removal of
said Clio L. Lloyd from the office of
mayor Of said city Of Santa Barbara is
sought, viz: that Clio l.. Lloyd, in his
recent candidacy for the said office of
mayor of said city, at the election held
in said city on the 7th day of December,
1909, in order to seure votes for himself
for said office of mayor did, contrary to
law, make promises to various electors
of said city of Santa Barbara; that, in
consideration of such electors voting for
him for said Office at said election, and
also using their influence with other
electors Of said city to vote for him,
said Lloyd, for said Office of mayor,
that he, if elected to such office, would
appoint said Promises to some office, or
place in said city, and that the said
Lloyd for said office OF mayor at said
election did, on account of such prom
ises, receive the votes of many elect
ors who would, but for said promises,
have voted against him.
Second that said Clio L. Lloyd. since
his said election, has, to crafty his
spite at a particular officer, caused the
resignation of said officer, who was a
satisfactory and competent officer, and
has appointed in his stead man who
is ineligible to the position to which he
has been so appointed"

TRACTION COMPANY TO GO
INTO FARMING BUSINESS
San Bernardno Race Track Enclosure
to Be Made Into a Pro-
ducer

SAN BERNARDINO, Feb. 19.-The
lack of sporting spirit in San Bernar-
dino has caused the San Bernardino
Valley Traction company to go into
the farming business. The electric
company owns the only racing course
in San Bernardino, but the lack of
even an occasional meet has resulted
in the park becoming a 'red ink
proposition
1t is now announced that the portion
of the park inside the track proper is
to be devoted to potato and alfalfa
raising. Fifteen acres will be set out
by the traction company, a subsidiary
system of the Huntington lines, for
potatoes exclusively and the balance
will be given over to alfalfa. The
track is situated at Association park.
A large amount of fertile acreage is
included and which has proved prac-
tically worthless in its present con-
dition.

PASADENA FIRE CAUSES
LOSS TO AMOUNT $4,000
Automobile ExpIodes in Central Gar
age, and Blaze Spreads
Rapidly

PASADENA, Feb 19.-As near as
can be ascertained the damage from
fire and water at the Central Garage
and Wynn's furniture store this fore
noon will reach $4,000.
The fire started in the Central
garage, 80 West Union street, from the
explosion of an automobile prepara-
tory to a trip.
In an instant the work room was a
mass of flames and smoke. On ac-
count of the unusual density of the
smoke the firemen were at a disad-
vantage for twenty minutes and they
are credited with excellent work IN
saving what they did.
Nearly all the valuable lathes, drills,
ETC., are practically uninjured.
Thomas Judge, the chauffeur, was
badly burned in the explosion, but nc
serious results are anticipated.
