JAPANESE WOMEN in POLITICS
Although Not Voters, Without Doubt
They Are Making Their influence
Felt.

The participation of the women of
striking instance of the progress of
the woman movement throughout the
world. Women in oriental countries
have for centuries occupied a mental
OF subordinate position, and while ia
pan as the most progressive of east
ern people cannot be compared in this
respect with many of the other orien-
tai nations, the Japanese woman has
been accorded the social freedom and
influence exercised among the more
progressive western nations. 1t must
be understood, of course, that the
women of Japan have not yet been
given the ballot, Frances Frear writes
in Leslie's, but in the recent election
Of a new house of representatives the
wives of several of the candidates
made a house to house canvass in be-
half of their husbands. The election
was of the greatest importance, as the
last house was dissolved on last
Christmas day by the emperor be-
cause of its refusal to ratify the mill
tary program of the cabinet. Com
ment>was made by the Japanese press
upon the entrance of the new wom-
an" into politics, but the fact that
women in Japan, contrary to all ma
tional traditions, have begun to take
an active part in political affairs is a
significant instance of the %leavening
process of the movement for woman's
emancipation. The development of
modern Japan shows that when that
country does begin to nov she o
with great rapidity. Even more ire
mendous will be the revolution in the
great Chinese republic when the pro-
gressive principles of the West begin
to work themselves out.

The ladies in the party began to
chat pleasantly while they sized up our
furniture out of the of their
eyes, and the men glanced carelessly
around to see If / had a box of cigars

ner.
At least imagined that's what they
were doing-having qualified as a bum
sport from the moment Helga began
to rehearse a dishrag.
Presently dinner was announced
and the entire cast jumped to their
feet as though they'd stepped on a
third rail.
The first round was oyster cock
tails, and everybody drew cards.
This was Helga's maiden effort at
oyster cocktails and she had original
ideas about the cocktail, consisting
chiefly of salad oil and tabasco.
The salad came from Italy, conse-
quently the oysters we're extremely
foreign to the taste.
After exploring her cocktail glass
with a fork Mrs. Fitzenstaatz politely
inquired If we raised our own oysters,
but just then a gill of tabasco struck

NEW WAY TO WATER TREES
German City Official Seems to Have
Hit Upon Method That Should
Be Effective.

A very ingenious and practical de-
vice for assuring the trees on city
sidewalks a sufficient supply of wa
ter, no matter how dry the season and
how hard baked the earth, has been
put in operation in Strassburg by Mr..
Sauer, the city tree Inspector. 1t con-
sists of a tube of iron or lead bent
into the form of a ring large enough
to encircle the stem of the tree.
The earth is removed so that this
ring may be placed just above the
roots, and is then filed in again, leav-
ing the end of a pipe connecting with
the ring projecting above the surface
of the ground. The top of the ring
is pierced with q large number of
small holes, and a tin cover or shield
prevents these from becoming
stopped up with earth.
By means of a funnel in the pro-
truding end of the pipe any desired
amount of water may be supplied to
the roots without waste or loss of
time. A further advantage, according
to Prometheus, is the ventilation thus
secured of the earth in the vicinity
of the roots.

rest of the evening screaming for the
fire department.
The next round was mock turtle
soup, but nobody under the wide can
opy of heaven can ever guess where
Helga found the mock.
Sometimes l think l may have sur
prised her secret, because later on,
when l looked for my rubber boots, one
of them was missing.
Then we had fish-b1ue fish. 1t had
arrived in the kitchen just a simple,
plain, kind-hearted fish with the blues,
but after watching Helga's work it
had developed acute melancholia.
Then came the roast turkey, and
right here was where Helga stepped
Victoria Cross.
Peaches had told Helga to stuff the
turkey with chestnuts, but Helga was
firm in her belief that a chestnut is an
old wheeZe, so she stuffed the turkey
with peanut brittle.
Helga had noticed several other
things around the kitchen which ap-
peared to be bored and lonely, so she
stuffed them in the turkey-one Of
which was the corkscrew.
When / started to carve the turkey
the first thing l struck was a horse
shoe which Helga had put in for luck.
1t made Peaches extremely nervous
to see the can-opener, a pair of scis-
sors and seven clothespins come out
of the interior, but when Mrs. Fifteen

However, the house warming dinner
came to a finish without any casual
ties and the guests went home, hun

The next morning Peaches gave
Helga Helga and she left us abruptly,
followed by the prayers of all present,
including the gas stove.
The only thing about the house that
loved Helga was a diamond brooch
belonging to Peaches and it followed
Helga out into the land Of adventure.

more dinners till we get a cook who

Flower City of Germany.

The marked industrial developments
in Erfurt are of comparatively recent
date, and in spite of the increasing
Importance of its manufacturing es-
adjustments the city is still best
known for the immense horticultural
establishments found there. Erfurt is
appropriately called the "Blumen-
stadt" or Flower City of Germany. AL
most 3 per cent of the population is
engaged in commercial horticulture
While vegetables and flowers for sale
are grown on a large scale, of much
vaster proportions is the business in
flower and vegetable seed. The larger
Erfurt seed firms ship to almost all
parts of the world, the United States
importing larger quantities of Erfurt
horticultural products than from any
other city in Europe.

WOMEN IN THE WAR
Do Effective Work in Bringing in
Prisoners and Doing Sentry
Duty.

London.-A dispatch from Warsaw
declares that the present wal is grow
ing every day more like the campaign
of Alexander l against Napoleon. Now
the civil population is joining in the
defense and among these are found
women and even children willing to
undergo the hardships even of sentry
and outpost duty.
These women and children are most
effective, the dispatch says. They
bring in many German prisoners to
headquarters. The prisoners are usu-
ally safely bound and for greater Sc
curity their guns, though taken away
from them, have the triggers tied with
cord.
The devotion of the peasant popula-
ton to the cause of defense is notice
able particularly in the Grodno dis
trict, where the volunteer guard has
rendered valiant service.

Monday-Started for rations at 1880
p. m. and on the way caught up with
three officers strolling along slowly.
The roadway was narrow and It was
very dark through the woods, so that
it was impossible to pass them. One
of the boys got tired of being kept be-
hind at such a slow pace and at last
broke out with: H, I'm moi going
to stick behind that guy! He's too
blame slow" (only the word was not

who declared he had not slept a wink
all night as a continual bombardment
had been going from ten o'clock till
three, with a short letup between mid
night and one. The French heavy
artillery was firing necessarily with
out any reply from the Germans. 1t
was over in the direction of Reims,
he said, and the firing was awful;
the flashes of fire were continual.
When it ceased about midnight l sup
posed the infantry must be charging
with the %bayonet, but it commenced
again as ~furiously as ever.
am not surprised at the stories
about Germans going crazy as they
did at Hartmannsweiler Kopf after
seeing and hearing this.
The papers spoke of German sol
diers running round the village, mad,
stark mad, driven so by the hellish
noise and the destruction. Even the
men in reserve underground trenches,
feet below the earth, who were to re.
place the men killed in the trenches,
we're driven mad. They could see moth

shells, the roar of the explosions and
the shrieks of those above.
