Hopes For a

There are many women coun-
selors in the provinces Of China
said Miss Tcheng, "and all over my
country, through organized centers
for education, political training and
social work, the women are work
ing for the progress Of the repub-

comes for woman to take her
place in the Chinese Parliament
there will be no opposition to her
on the score that she is woman. Z"
Miss Tcheng deplores the infu-
ence of the Japanese in China.
"Militarism, whether Japanese or
German, is menace to the world, !"
she said. "The Japanese militarists,
combined with small reactionary
party In China, stir up perpetual in
terrml troubles in my country and

The "Republic"
Her Interest

China looks to America as to a
big sister, whose ideals of democ-
racy she may follow and whose
sympathy may help her find her
way out Of the internal stress
which is not unnatural in a new re-
public, but which is melted and
augmented to great extent by
trouble makers in the rcactionary
party"
This is the message of Soumy
Tcheng, Chinese delegate to the
peace conference, to American
women upon the eve of her leaving
New York last week for Hongkong.
Miss Tcheng, twenty-seven years
old and of aristocratic Manchu
blood, had seven years training in
the law schools of France. She is
a licensed lawyer of Paris. World
peace and democracy and the in
dustrial development of the repub-
lie of China are the interests of her
heart. Nor is China so far behind
in its concessions to women, accord
ing to Miss Tcheng.

The Only Doll
In the Valley

Miss Georgianna Sheldon, who for
merly conducted school for girls in
Florence and who was in charge of
the American hospital in that city
, during the war, brought with her
on her return from Italy last Oc-
tobert the story Of little Ottilia Cis
and the snapshot of her holding
what Miss Sheldon said was the
"only doll in the Val de Ledro. y
That shabby doll, with it's one glass
eye, was the envy Of all the children
of the neighborhood, she said.
This was the beginning of the ap-
peal, issued some weeks ago, for toys
of all descriptions. especially dolls,
to be sent abroad.
The response was greater than an
ticipated. AS result of the poem,
"The Only Doll in the Valley" writ
ten by the president of the commit
tee, Robert Underwood Johnson,
dolls of all sorts and sizes came
pouring in to MISREPRESENTATION
and brunette babies in Partisan
dress, gorgeous Chinese and Jap
anese creatures, black faced tar
babies, sunbonnet dolls in pink and
blue checked gingham, kewpies, dolls
for all ages, rag babies and rubber
and celluloid bath dolls.

Only the best values are to be recoe

representing nearly that number Of
homes, it is believed that an amount
OF unnecessary and extravagant
buying may be eliminated that will
reduce the living cost of the nation
as whole to a large extent.

Ottilia to Have
New Doll

Of the collection of dolls one of
the most beautiful has been selected
for Ottilia whose battered favorite
was the only doll in the valley.
Although the appeal has been
made particularly for dolls and
other toys for Christmas, shipments
to Italy by the American Relief
Committee will be continued long
after the holiday season. Mr.. John
son reports that it has now been
ascertained definitely that there are
$4,000 war orphans in Italy. Since
June, 1918, when the committee was
organized, more than $16l 900 has
been raised for general relief.
Dolls or other toys may he sent to

A New Era
Ahead

Among the forward-looking moves
of the college women is that made by
their members and their alumn@ to
bring about a realization of the ne
cessity for their work in the scheme
of things. Smith College has been
preparing for such a campaign and
will launch its drive to raise $4,000
600 January II.
Educational authorities who have
participated in other campaigns for
colleges say that they believe 1920
will bear greater fruit from the ef-
forts of college women than 1919,
and 1919 was a record year in that
line.
So, too, in many business lines
women are predicting an increase in
their opportunity and effort in 1920
over that of 1919. The march of
progress of women is in full swing,

from evil environment, abuse and
neglect, sheltered by the society
pending adjustment of their trou-

of them have either father or
mother; their homes have been cold
and sordid, and many of them will
carry all their lives scars from the
cruel and inhuman treatment they
have suffered. They cannot know
the JOY, on a Christmas morning, of
rushing breathless in nightclothes to
see the wondrous gifts left in their
stockings by loving Santa Claus"

The College
Girls

During the coal crisis in Decem-

made an appeal to the people of his
state to mine coal in nearby states
to increase production. Among the
volunteers were two young women
students Of the state university, who
offered to accompany the men as
cooks on any coal-digging expedition
they might be called upon to make.
Women of all colleges have come
to the fore both through their
alumn@ organizations and through
their individual enterprise. 1t is
no longer taken for granted that the
graduate Of woman's college was
born wearing horn-rimmed glasses
and with a teachers ruler in her
hand. Perhaps the largest amount
Of real war work done by women
was that accomplished in all lines
Of service by college women. They
were the best equipped and it was
no more than should have been ex-
pected of them that they should have
made their splendid contribution.
Nevertheless, credit is due them for
living up. to what was expected of
them.

Gently passed by the House of Repre-
sentatives and now in the hands of the
Senate committee on education, says
the bulletin.
1.-The bill, the bureau says. mot
only permits the use of school buildings
and grounds at the discretion of the
school board of each district, but goes
farther, making it mandatory upon
these boards to equip the buildings and
allow them to be used out of school
hours, under school board direction, il
sufficient number of citizens demand
it. A petition signed by number of
residents equal to one fifth the number
of pupils enrolled in the school pre-
sented TO the school board compels the
board to open and equip the school
for such purposes as may be required.
This amendment has been intro.
duced in response to the interest in the
development of the community center
