A ACTRESSES RECEIVE THE
HIGHEST WAGES PAID TO
WOMEN IN JAPAN

TOXIC, June 30.-That Japanese
women constantly are taking a larger
lart in the activities of the Empire is
shown by recent Investigations. As in
Europe, so in Japan women are fling
positions formerly exclusively held by
men.
There are 1000 women working un
der the Railway Bureau, most Of them
ticket sellers, cashiers and account
ants. and 5000 women find employ
ment in the cigar and cigarette factor
les of the government tobacco monop-
oily. Their wages range from ten to
twenty-five cents a day.
Male clerks in banks and mercantile
houses constantly are being replaced
by women, who receive IS to SIS a
month.
Actresses receive the highest wages
Maid women in Japan, but their clothes
are expensive and so they are financ-
tally in no better position than the
more humble workers. The lowest
salary among them is $25 or $50 a
month, and the highest about $780,
In journalism women in Japan get
from $40 to $25 a month. according to
experience AS yet the number of
women doctors is not large, but they
enjoy large and lucrative practice.
The number of women employed in
such capacities as nurses, goyernesses,
in drug stores, or as models, dancers,
guides, ushers, barmaids, teahouse
mattresses, hairdressers and flower
makers is increasingly large, to say
nothing of the more than $4,000 en-
p!oyed in cotton and other factories.

THE BUSINESS
MANS BIT"
Andrew M. soule, President Georgia
State College of Agriculture.

The business man is. and has a.
ways been, an important and construc-
tive factor in the life of the commun-
ity. Never before in the history OF
the South is he destined to play SO
essentially leading part, provided ne
rises to the opportunity and discharges
the duties, responsibilities and oDll-
cations resting upon him as a citizen
and patriot.
First, he should take a prominent
part in the solution of the situation
now confronting US; to insure the
farmer market. He must also I'M
dertake the financing of diversified
production, since the change to diver
sificahion of crops means the purchase
of new and varied implements, in
creased applications of fertilizers, and
credit for the purchase of seeds and
machinery Hitherto credit has been
based upon cotton production to the
exclusion of diversified crops There
must be a modification of rent notes
duQ ISAt tOutIdCIo, AAOI 1heht EAA4I N1i
tivation of cotton should be eliminated
or unduly restricted, but chat addition.
al channels of credit should be provid-
ed and varied crop production pro-
NOTED and stimulated.
Second, it is the part OF the business
man to provide the necessary ma
chinery, such as feed mills, corn grind
ers aud houses for the preserv-
ing Of potatoes and other perishable
crops At present there is every ia
cility for warehousing cotton, but no
means for holding and marketing food
crops. Whenever business men will
provide the proper facilities, diversi-
fication of crops will proceed by leaps
and bounds.
Third, the business man must per-
form the duty of food assembler. The
problem of food distribution cannot be
left to the individual farmer, since his
production of certain crop is often so
small as to preclude the possibility of
marketing lat profit On the other
hand, business men are able to as
semble the crops in small amounts
and provide for general distribution,
since they have the economy of large
shipments This work is patriotic and
should also be profitable.

the National Shippers conference was
represented by number of attorneys,
chief among them Clifford Thorne, Of
Iowa. an expert on rates and transpor-
tation.
The attitude Of the shippers was to
some extend divided. Some thought,
and so testified to the commission, that
the railroads should have the increase
while others favored some increase,
and others contended that if the rail-
roads were entitled to any rate ad-
vance at all, it was much less than the
15%o they asked. The railroads con-
tended that instead of being 1870
advance, what they were asking would
really net them much smaller re-
turn. The portion Of shippers which
opposed the increase most vigorously
was headed by Mr.. Thorne.
!, Early in the hearing the shippers
made united attacks on the re-align-
ment of preferential rates that would
result from ahorizontal advance. The
railroads met this protest with assur
'ances that the present rate differences
would be restored as soon as possible.
Shippers declared thousands of car
loads of lumber and other commodi-
ties had been held up by the roads by
shortage of rolling stock. They in
sisted they would be unable to ship a
great number of orders before July
/, which they had contracted to sell
at a price based on freight rates pre-
yailiIg in January and February. The
carriers of the South offered as a
compromise to lumber dealers OF that
section, a fiat rate of one cent huns
cred pounds for freight from the Mis-
aissippi valley and southeastern points
to the Ohio river
The railroads introduced masses 81
statistical data, showing in detail the
immense increases in operating ex-
'p4nses. They contended that revenues
would not increase in proportion to
the added, costs. Of transportation, and
that in the, new era of industrial. pros
perity, the shippers could well af-
ford to pay higher freight rates. Rail
road credit, they declared, in some
of the less stable systems might suf-
fer unless the increase were granted
IAN organization of security hold
ers, consisting of bankers and heads OF
Insurance companies, urged the com
mission to grant an increase in order
to stabilize securities.
Tie shippers conference contended
that the early months Of 1917 showed
G. constant increase in operating rev.
enues for the carriers, and insisted
that they would receive reasonable
earnings despite their heavy expenses.
They also told the commission that
railway securities were stronger than
ally other class, except government
and municipal bonds raised by taxa
ton.
The railroads, they sought to show,
have large SURPRISES on hand in cash.
time deposits and interests in unaffil-
lated companies, which they declared,
should be used for such an emergency
as the carriers represented.
During the hearings, the commits
sion received thousands of letters from
shippers protesting or favoringa the
advance. The eastern carriers made
tabdlation to show that sentiment
of shippers in their territory was
largely in favor of an increase. Final
arguments closed June II.
