CHINESE WOMEN
 DISCARD DRESS FOR
 FOR OTHER KIND

PAPEGTE, Island Of. Tahiti, Dec. 20.-Uy MaiD-The Chinese women of Papeete have, with one accord, discarded their national dress of oil cloth pantaloons and tunic and adopted the semi-Europoan dress of the Tahitian belles of the town. This includes the highest of high-heeled French shoes.
 The result has been the infliction of much torture which the women | are enduring with the greatest for titude. For centuries they have trod the bosom of mother earth barefoot ed. but today they parade the length of the beach road proud in their new acquisition. As soon as they Iare out of the public eye off come athe shoes and they return to their dwell ing, after the fashion of their an cestors-carrying their shoes.>

HE EXPLAINS
 HIS PLAN FOR
 THE RAILWAYS
Churchill Says Railways Form a Very Important Part of British
 Problems.

LONDON, Jan 23 - Winston Churchill, Minister of Munitions, who announced the Government policy of nationalizing British railways, ex- plained to the Dundee Chamber of Commerce the reasons for the pro posed step.
 Owing to the enormous debt with which the country had been bur dened by the war, he said, relief mcasureA on a big scale were re- quired.
 The three great parent factors of a country's welfare" he continued, "are land, communications and pow CT, and the three children food, housing and manufacturing. So long as tho railways are in private hands they be used for immediate profit. In the hands of the State. however,, them at a loss if they develop indus try, place the trader in closer con tact with his market, and stimulate development.
 You cannot organize the great questions of land settlement, new in dustries, and the extension of pro- duction, unless the State has control of the means of transportation.
 A mass of information about the railways is already available. he said, and large part of the task of na tionalization has automatically accom-  plished itself. ''I thing it highly i'm probable" he went on, that action on this vital matter can be delayed until royal commission has wan dered about"
 Explaining to the press a bill which the Railway Naturalization Society has prepared, Emil Davies, the chair man, said it provides for the acqnl- sition of all railway stocks and shares at their mean market price during the twelve months ending six months prior to the introduction of the bill in Parliament, the purchase price to be paid in per cent. Govern ment stock to the railway share holders.

ALBANY. Jan. 2l.---Ratifeation by
the New York legislature of the Fed
eral Prohibition Amendment may be
expected next week, in the opinion of
legislative leaders. It was said that
the campaign of the wet will not
be sufficiently strong to prevent New
York from lining up with the more than
three quarters of the states that al
ready have made national prohibition
a certainty.
Adoption of the resolution in the AS
sembly appears to lie assured In the
senate where fierce battle was ex-
pected, caucus action by the Republi
cans viii ensure the success of the
drys, it was admitted by leaders
tonight All but two or three Repub-
lican senators were known to be COM
mitted to ratification, and the fight was
to be waged over the proposition to
make the resolution the subject of
caucus action. This has now been de-
termined upon. which virtually means
that wet Republicans will be bound to
vote with the dry majority.
