FIRST TEACHERS TO CHINA
Missionaries Followed the Close Of
the War With Great Britain
In 1845.

The first general attempt to intro
) auce Christianity into China dates
from April "a, 1915, when the Chinese
government, following the disastrous
war with Great Britain, granted per-
mission to foreigners to teach the
Christian religion. Missionaries from
many countries began Immediately to
flock to China, but in most places the
white devils" were received with hos
tility. The Emperor Taou-h wang
who in the latter part of his reign
favored the Introduction of European
)arts and religion, died in 1850, and
his son, Hieng-Fung, adopted a reac-
tonary policy.
One of the odd results of the intro-
duction of Christianity in China was
the appearance in 1851 of rebel lead
err who called himself Tien-teh, and
who announced himself as the restor-
err of the worship of the true god.
Shang-ti, and derived many of his dog
mas from the Bible. He called him
! self the brother of Jesus, the second
son Of God and the monarch of all be-
meath the skies, and demanded uni
fersal submission. His insurgent fol-
lowers called themselves Taepings, or
'Prince of peace" but the title was
utterly belied by their atrocious deeds.

Psychology Of War
On Women's Dress

BY LENA MADISON PHILLIPS,
Y. w. C. A. National Board Secretary
for Business Women.
Work while you work and prtmpl
at home" is the new slogan for the
woman in business. With the call to.
her new duties brought about by war
has come to woman the knowledge
that to succeed In business she cam
not think Of her clothes during office
hours. The old fashioned idea that.
woman is always clustering about her
dress is rapidly being killed in action.
If the business women are to meet
the demands Of the present day chal-
lenge, thus fulfilling the promise Of
their past achievements, the stand
ards Of the average woman must be
raised as a means thereto, and the
raising of standards means sensible
dressing. To appear at the office with
fuzzy hair, high heels and the primp-
ing attitude; to work all day with one
eye on the clock and the other on the
mirror, had tendency to lower stand
ards. Ideas on the change in the at
tire of business women have been fer
menting for some time. One clever
woman has even gone so far as to
work out the fact based on a canvass
and statistics that the woman who
was always fussing over her clothes
and primping during Office hours did
not get her salary raised
With the coming of the war woman's
work has been made real, and all
these fermenting ideas are fast being
crystalized. Women have found the
waists that nuss on the slightest prov
ocation, like chiffon, and other mate
rails designed for the drawing room,
impractical for the real work they are
now called upon to do. They have
found that high heels advertise weak
ness, and those who are doing Uncle
Sans work must think of their feet
in terms of strong ankles and strong
arches. They have discovered, above

Of adulterating is by taking cotton

heat, moisture and pressure.
A purchaser may be fully convinced

safe method is to take home the sam

pie of so called wool in oil of vitriol for
about two minutes. This will destroy

Freed Of his official duties for few

the arduous task of enjoying himself.
That afternoon he left the resort with
It's hundreds of bathers behind and
strolled far up the broad beach that
sloped up from the sea to the foot of
a low bluff along which was row of
summer houses. Panama in hand he
breathed deep of the fine sea air and
let the brisk breeze blow the warm
sunlight through his light hair, paus-
ing before a great log that had been
lung high on the shore during some
storm. And finally with little sigh
If content he laid himself down on the
sand in the strip of shade cast by the
log and dozed off to sleep.
Presently, down the long flight of
stone steps that led from one of the
houses on the bluff short distance be-
yond flashed bathing suit seeking the
deserted beach. The bathing suit in
question was rather well filled, and its
color of bright blue was startlingly en-
HANGED by the flaming scarlet of the
jaunty cap. The young person who oc-
cupied the colorful equipment waved
her arms joyously at her temporary
freedom from conventional restraint,
and raced down the beach.
However, Holbrooke missed all Of
this, for he was peacefully sleeping on

Aerial Tank.

An aerial tank has been invented
and put into practical use by Italian
soldiers who have astounded the world
by their extraordinary feats in noun
tain warfare. An Austrian machine
gun emplacement was 30 situated on
a mountain side that It poured a har-
assing fire into an italian post. The
Austrian position was unassailable BY
ordinary means, but 1t was necessary
that It be wiped ont. A "Teleferica"
car, many of which are operated BY
the Italians across chasms and up
mountain sides, was armored ana
equipped with machine guns. Volun'
teers were called for, and from the
many who responded two were chosen
to man the guns. This improvised
aerial dreadnaught was then swung
out across the valley, After one or
two exploration trips at dizzy height,
the men in the car finally located the

Bio Ships In Ancient Daya

When we bear in mind that the an.
clients were In the habit of producing
big things-the pyramids, the Colos-
sus of Rhodes, the hundred-feet-lone
painting of Nero, vast circuses, etc.
there seems to be no gosd ground for
doubling that they built big ships, and
not a few of them, nor merely fo1
show. There must have been great
deal of maritime activity during the
centuries Immediately preceding and
following the beginning of our era, and
not a few projects of Importance de-
signed to facilitate navigation were
launched. The vain attempt to cut
through the isthmus of Corinth is
often referred to, but the effort made
by Nero to create a navigable canal
from the Lake Averius to the mouth
of the Tiber is less dwelt upon. Taci-
tus tells us of this, and in such fash
ion that the attentive reader has the
suspicion aroused In his mind that the
sins Of that emperor were more against
the taxpayers Of Rome than of the
sort usually attributed to him.

all, that clothing reveals personality,
and that to gain personality they must
consider their work, its ideals, and
their own social responsibility. Forty
nine hairpins and fluffy cascade or
feminine adornment are becoming OBJ
solete since Uncle Sam is accepting
woman workers. Modesty In dress
means the right attitude toward the
dignity and worth Of the human body,
and respect for dignity does not go
with a neck too exposed for business.
Again women are learning that a
business proposition is not an ante
room to matrimony While It goes
without saying that for the average
woman marriage is state both right
and greatly to be desired 1t by no
means justifies her using her place
in the business world primarily as
means of securing possible husband.
The woman today who wishes to I'LL
a place In the business world until
such time as It Is convenient for her
to marry, in all fairness to other wo-
men who assume business responsible
ity permanently, must surrender her
self to the task she has chosen In no
half hearted way. Employment must
cease to be merely q means OF secur-
ing money for alluring clothes.
Women are fast learning that il
they desire equal pay for equal work
the first emphasis must be placed on
the work. The time has come when
they must cease to demand both the
rights Of men and the privileges Of
women. II they desire to be CO.
laborers with men In the business
world, with equal opportunities and
equal pay, they must face business
with a mans steadfastness of purpose
and real desire to succeed The BUSH
ness woman of today must be willing
to forego such styles Of dress as will
distract from the business In hand and
surround them with sex conscious
ness which is not conducive to solid
work nor to sound morals.
