DESCRIBES CUSTOMS :.
OF CHINESE WOMEN
Mrs. c. N. Taylor Tells Equal Suffrage
League Last Evening Of Her :
Recent Trip. ..
TIE MASTERPIECE OF THE
CONFECTIONERY ART

There are more than 1000 rules OF
etiquette laid down for the youth OF
China, and are inculcated from their
earliest infancy, said Mrs. G. N. Tay-
lor, in a travel talk last evening, be-
fore the Ohio County Equal Suffrage
league. The meeting was held at the
Unitarian church and Mrs. Taylor
who has recently returned from VISIT
in the Orient had many interesting
details to relate in reference to the
customs and costumes OF the people.
Girl babies being very undesirable
quantity, are usually placed on the
doorstep for the first three days after
birth and If surviving this heroic
measure. are taken into the bosom OF
che family, if they have not been car
,, ried away in the meanwhile by some
designing mother. as a wife Tor her
wee son. Their feet are bound after
the age Of five, and they cry for years
with the pain. When reaching fifteen,
they. are usually .betrothed' TO some
young Chinese man, oftener than not,
without having laid eyes on him until
.the day of the wedding when they
are carried away in chair to his resi-
dence. They receive no education,
have no property rights and are not
even permitted domestic pets. They
are regarded as being the property or
the male members of the household,
who are often seen with bird cage
in either hand taking the flutterlng
occupants out for walk, while the
wife is not even permitted this exclt.
ing pastme. They are never per
mitted to go on the streets with their
husbands and all pedestrians go trot-
ting about in single file. Should she
become widow the only self respect
ing thing for her to do and ,retat IN her
pride b to sacrifice herself on the
grave Of her lord.
Mrs. Taylor enumerated many Of
the things which the Chinese are re-
sponsible> for, among others the long
est canal and the greatest wall in the
world, the oldest newspaper, the hrst
banknote, first woman's daily (Which
did not survive long, however), water
tight. com apartments for steam boats,
and many tools which we use. Yet
in the 1000 years, China is practi-
cally unchanged. and the teachings Of
Confucius is subtly woven into their
lives, the speaker said. However, one
is altogether wrong in thinking Of
them either as heathens or barbarians
because the male portion of the coun-
try is educated either for their own
station or to fill government positions.
Glasses and examinations are held
with regularity and even aged men
attend these, who during the enforced
confinement Of the three days preced'
ing the examinations sometimes die.

FIRE ESCAPE
To BE Placed On High School Building
and Contract Is Let BY Board Of

structOrs Elected.

At the regular monthly meeting Of
the Board of Education Friday night
n contract was given to the Kirk &
Bender Fire Escape Company of Lou
isville, for the erection of q spiral
fire escape on the High School build
ing at a cost of between 81 100 and
$1,000 This escape is one Of the best
made and is used on most big school
buildings all over the country. The
company which puts il out guarantees
that no one can be hurt while using
the escape to come out of a building.
Miss Marjorie Kelly of st. Joseph,
Mich, was selected as German teach
er for the ensuing year to take the
place which will be made vacant by
the resignation of Miss Margaret
Haberman. Miss Sue Settle of Owen
ton, KY, was selected as one of the
grade teachers for the ensuing year to
fill vacancy which will be announced
later.
1t was also decided that the bacca-
laureate sermon this year would be
given in the High School auditorium
instead of at a local church. This step
was taken because of the fact that the
auditorium is larger than any of the
churches and the crowd of interested
persons who always attend can be ac-
COmmodated
