WOMEN and WORK
World Getting New View Of the
Limitations Of Sex
Even In Japan Feminine Workers Are
j.. Invading the Factories, Stores
ans Offices.

"A WTlIeE III Juc New GdSI piSSNASS
the coming of Japan's new woman" IN
ways that would be impressive were
there no Europe and no world war. We
have heard before that bound feet are
no more in China, that Picking believes
In education for girls and that all
through the Flowery land the Ameri-
can sewing machine Is giving a good
that Japan, politically modernized for
well nigh half century, is deep in the
task Of completing the emancipation OF
her women from the patriarchal sys-
tenn, says a writer In the Boston Her
aid.
Vast numbers OF them have found
occupations in the factories; other
contingents are ut work in the offices
and in that newest innovation of all,
the department store. The age Of bus
mess has at last dawned for the island
empire, and the click of the typewriter
is heard in the land. Meanwhile there
is rush of women to the professions.
1t is the women now who are sought
for the stage, and the demand has been
found large enough to warrant the for
nation Of dramatic schools attached to
the large theaters. A woman doctor
used to be an impossibility in Japan.
At this years examination for medical
practice in Tokyo ~ out of 80 candi-
dates who passed were women. And
the call for woman teachers in the
schools grows apace.
Compare this peaceful type Of evolu-
ton with the changes which have
come to the western people under the
stress Of war. In our own land the
women, once socially active mainly
through their churches and clubs, are
now fast closing up into a great CO.
operative organization which has food
conservation for it's detail and nation
nj defense for it's unifying spirit and
end.
At a demonstration given the other
day by English women in Hartford
shire 1000 Of them gathered to show
their proficiency in trimming bitches,
hOelng roots, carting, and a dozen
other kinds of farm work which they
had taken up to liberate the men. and
an eyewitness describes the remarka.
Bile showing made by these Glands of
lithe-limbed maidens, with brown
faces under SLOUGH hats, marching in
knee breaches and leggings or put
tees" On the battle front American
women are helping the allies as drtv-
crs Of ambulances and motorcars; in
both France and England women run
buses, conduct trains and function in
scores Of occupations that have been
hitherto reserved for men. What
would the war amount to were 1t not
for the army Of woman workers in the
munitiCn factories? Then think Of
Russia, which sends out woman war
riors to show her men how battles are
won.
1t should be plain that after this
struggle the world will never again be
exactly the same for women. We shall
have the steady evolution of social and
industrial structure such as Japan is
now displaying, but we shall also have
new view of the so-called Elimination
Of sex" Complete recognition Of the
fact that women are also human be-
ngs is assured beyond peradyenture.

Worrying Always Weakens.

Worrying 10 always weakness, 1t Is
always danger. In a sense though
often eXcusnble and sometimes un-
avoidahle, it is cowurdice; and cow
ards, as Shakespeare tells US. "die
many times before their DEATH" We
may regard worry as the price paid by
humanity for advance in education
and in refinement of feeling; but it is
Il higher price than need be paid

New Cumberland to Ask
State Aid to Repair Street

New Cumberland, Pa, March 26.
This borough, through it's town
council, is seeking state aid for per-
manent repairs to the section of high
way, about 2,761 feet in length, sit
uated on state highway route 250.
The proposed construction of gov
ernment buildings near the town,
councilmen expect will have some
weight on the decision of the state
department officials.
If the government buildings are
erected near the town all travel to
and from them will be on Bridge
street in the borough. The street now
is in bad shape and with any increas-
ed travel it would probably be i'm
passable for heavy trucks.
For several years council has been
grading and macadamiZing the street
in an effort to keep it in condition
for travel. At the same time applica-
ton for state aid was made to state
department officials with no result.
meeting of council this month, again
asking state aid. The borough is will
ing to pay one-half of the total ex-
pense for the Improvement, the or
dinance provides.
The street is part of the state high
way to York over the South noun
tains. During the summer it is trav-
eled to q great extent and conse-
quently large ruts are worn in the
street AS much as $1,000 has been
spent on repairs to the street in one
summer.

Harrisburg society, but forming
alone a branch of the great Ameri-
can Red Cross Society. Untiring eff
forts on the part of those at the head
of the movement have achieved
these results in Marysville. Member
ship committees are still busy scour-
ing the town to raise the record of
the unit to the goal set to one thou
sand members. The start of the
Marysville society was quite diScour-
aging, but it is now one of the larg-
est, If not the largest, Red Cross or
ganiZation in Perry county.
Extensive arrangements are being
made to have a big community meet
ing at the time of the next regular
monthly meeting. The date has been
set for Thursday evening, April 4, at
the Galen theater. Mrs. l.. b. Palmer
and other prominent workers in the
interest of the Red Cross Chapter at
Harrisburg, will be speakers at the
meeting.
Within the past several days the
workroom of the Marysville Red
Cross branch has been removed to
Diamond Hall, from the residence
of Mrs. r. G.. Cunningham, in Maple
avenue. More room is now available.
A call has been issued by the society
for more sewing machines which are
now badly needed.
