Shedding Wells
Irf the East

WASHINGTON, Oct. 3.-Further
evidence that the women of the Near
East are thgowing off the shackles of
the Mohaishaedan customs of centu-
ries comes in news that these women
now consent to removing their wells
while having their teeth treated.
When five American Red Cross
dentists entered Bacedonia, says a
report from Monastir, they found the
wife of a Mussulman would go on
with the tortureA a-toothache rath-
er than expose her features to the
sight of any man other than her hus-
band.
A similar prejudice was encounter
ed when the American relief workers
sought to enlist the aid of native girls
to assist in the hospitals. Gradually,
under the example of the American
women in the Red Cross units, the
Eastern ideas that have bound down
the women have been worn away in
many places.

Negroes of Mississippi
Are Very Prosperous.

CHICAGO, Oct. Exceptional
happiness, contentment and prosper
ity among the negroes of Mississippi
is reported by committee of Chicago
white and negro men after an investi-
cation of conditions in that state.
The committee was delegated to visit
Mississippi by he Chicago Association
of Commerce, the federal bureau of
labor and by organized labor, to
which had been referred a question
of aiding the return of Southern-born
negroes to the south.
A written statement prepared by
the committee said:
"The happiness, contentment and
prosperity among the colored race
in Mississippi is much greater than
the committee expected to find. We
know no place where greater happi-
ness and prosperity prevail among
them"
School facilities were found to be
goo, churches adequate, housing con-
ditions being improved rapidly and
race relations good, according to the
report, while the industrious negro
is afforded excellent opportunities to
become a land owner No police op-
preston, imposition or 'lawlessness"
was found. Negro workers IN the
sawmill districts were reported happy
and contented.
Many of the farm laborers were
found to be working on the share sys-
TEN. Negroes having no capital,
teams or implements, are equipped
by the land owner, receiving, usually,
half of the crop they produce, while
those with teams and implements are
given two-thirds. The statement
continues:
"We found that the average work
er who cultivated what is known as
the -mule-crop' was able, using
the year 1918 as a criterion, to pro-
duce a sufficient crop to net him, over
and above all living expenses, from
$500 to $1,5O0 a year. We found
several men who began work under
the tenant system and who now own
their own plantations and are them
selves employers of negro labor and
are worth from $4,000 to $175,000.
These facts were secured from the
negroes themselves, and we had the
privilege of riding with them and sur
veying their farms in automobiles
they own"
