conference, are to take an active part
in promoting this health program for
women which will be the share of the
Y. w. c. A. in the big health move
ment in China.
The funds for establishing thes.
health centers, for demonstrations OF
how to care for babies, for health
lectures for the women, for babies dis.
pensarlcs and for q general educa
tional campaign, VIII be raised by the
American Y. w. c. A. as part of its
program OF world service for women
and girls in 1920.
Dr. Ida Kahn, In recent appeal to
modern Chinese women said, LET our
women OF education In Picking and
elsewhere gather themselves together
to work for the schools, Red Cross and
Y. w. c. A., and everything else which
bespeaks the betterment OF the coun-
try, instead of staying at home to play
poker and sparrow and going out TO
attend endless dinners, tea parties and
dances.
LET US rally our forces and help the
ship Of state to move safely. One per.
son cannot accomplish much, but one
or two hundred millions Of women can
work wonders Let us so back TO
more Spartan-like simplicity Of living
and let us build up social service until
every city in China is sanitary, every
section Of the town has It's proper
schools, and every child, whether boy
or girl, is sent to such schools. True
social service brings democracy 10 its
train, and we who are citizens Of
new republic can help to make 1t truly
great by preaching and living democ-
racy all the time. Why not learn TO
do our household duties, deemIng 1t
eifcminate to be waited upon by maids
and slave girls all the time?
THE status of women in China,
while leaving much to be desired, still
is quite hopeful when we consider
that she is just emerging into the sis
terhood of the nations, Our men can
depend upon us to bear the burdens OF
the day, for nowhere Is there a more
industrious, diligent and persevering
womanhoOd than in China"

ciers finally take hold of the PROPOSE

the first company was formed for the
utilization of the 20a.n0n horsepower

When success finally came, the COM
Sany that now had power to sell dis.
eliminated not in favor of keokuk,
but, as results show, really against
that town, because this company, nat
urally enough, wanted to cover its
investment as expeditiously as posi-
Bile by making big, long-term contracts
with other and bigger cities.
That policy is view OF the sliding
scale, which slid lower as pur-
chasers consumption mounted, did not
do little Keokuk any good.
The consequence is that the crea-
ton of the Keokuk power plant re-
mains an industrial epic of what a
small town did for big one-i e., st.
