WOMEN TAKE PART
IN CHINESE REVOLUTION.

Il has been my good fortune to spend
many interesting years in China and
to meet socially the most represents
tive Chinese women of the day. In
every case where a company of women
has come TO visit my wife, and in
every hoi we have visited, has been
at least one and sometimes more than
and cipher 1usntly. writes DR.. Isaac
Taylor Headland in the March Nc
Calls.
It Is significant that several ews
papers edited by Chinese with
women As contributors, have lately
been started. Mrs. Chang, the widow
Of a Chinese official, had edited the
Peking's Wonan's Paper, devoted en-
tirsly to women's interests, the suf-
frage movement in England being a
favorite topic. This gifted woman was
trained and educated by her father as
II she had been a boy, and she thus
obtained a power of observing the con-
ditions of women's life which would
have been impossible for n ordinary
Chinese woman. 1t has been stated
that In Picking there are nine journals
edited, composed, printed and sold by
women; Canton produces four, Shang-
hal six and F'oochow three.
The government has recently laid
down rules regarding the management
Of native papers. Publishers, printers
and editors in China must be over q
years of age. sound Of brain, and have
level been In prison. They must also
deposit security to the ainoun of SIS
per paper, unless It Is devoted to edu-
cation, art or statistics, and q copy of
each issue must be sent to the local
magistrate and to the board of civil
affairs in Picking.
The legal position of the Chinese
woman is d~eplorable. and Is one Of the
reasons why the movement for her
greater freedom is making such rapid
growth. She is subject to the three
obediences"-to her father in her child
hood, to her husband after marriage,
and to her son In her widowhood. and
this position naturally cripples her
powers and has a disastrous effect upon
her character.
When a Chinaman has only daugh-
ters, he says he has no children; in
fact. a girl ought to consider herself
lucky to be alive at all, for in many
parts of the country it has beer the
custom to drown female babies. Par
ents dispose of daughter in marriage
as they please--it is the only career
open 10 her-and she then becomes the
property Of her husband.
Though the women OF the better
classes rarely meet men outside their
own immediate circle, they still exer-
oiuo n oraat trHunnra and IN ONO ~
the Chinese encyclopedias 37e books out
of 1928 are devoted to famous women,
and eleven chapters deal with their
knowledge and literary works. When
we consider how restricted are their
lives and how few opportunities they
have for enlarg1ng their minds we can
but admire the use they have made OF
their opportunities.

CONVERTED LOVE LETTERS
INTO A WALKING-STICK.

The problem of what to do with one q
love letters, discussed in the news
papers some time ago. has been solved
In a novel way by a British b~luejacket
He has made a stout walkingstick
With q thousand love letters which he
received from the young lady who is
now his wife, writes the London cor
respondent of the Chicago Inter-Ocean.
The sailor who is responsible for this
new and ingenious method of preserv-
Ing love letters is Leading Seaman H.
S. Vinten. of H. M. s. Glory. He says:
First of all l got a steel rod about
a quarter OF an inch In diameter and
made a thread through It's length 30 al
to screw on a nut.
'"Then ] cut the letters into portions
OF about one inch square. put a hole in
each square and thrust several of them
at a time on the rod Just as you file
receipts.
II compressed them by screwing up
the nut with q hand spanner. and when
they were sufficiently hardened / put
more on, and continued until the whole
stick length was finished.
Having treated all the letters in this
fashion. | cut off the rough edges with
an old razor, then Clipped the stick
into shape with a chisel and hammer.
and finally obtained a perfectly smooth
surface with an ordinary plane.

surface, put an ebony handle on 1t and
