Because one little japanese girl
believed the world was fiat and
wouldn't come to America to study
for fear she might fall off, Japan
gained one of its most brilliant and
progressive women. That little girls
sister took her place. Miss Ume
Tsuda came to Washington, D. c.,
with the first five girls sent over by
Japan to acquire a Western educa-
ton. To-day she is principal of the
most advanced school for girls in
the land of Cherry Blossoms.
Miss Tsuda comes from a progress
sive family, for her father was the
first of all the Samurai to appear
at court without his queue. He said
to the Emperor, "Sire, I lost my
queue in your majesty's service
abroad"
Only jugglers and priests wear
queues in modern Japan.
After graduating from Bryn
Mawr College, Miss Tsuda returned
to Japan and taught some Of the

some American friends.

ways she had wished to model the
tragedy of drink. She had a hatred
of war, horror of firearms and OF
killing, and when war came planned
to model the tragedy of war. There
fore, as a natural result of the sor-
row over the long years of war came
the desire to link the two tragedies
with the other great slavery of eco
nomic conditions and their embodl-
ment in the present composition,
Salvation.
The work, although dwelt lons
upon in thought, was rapidly done.
Most of it was modelled in seven
weeks, racing against the fast COM
ing cold of a New England winter.
The day after the plaster cast vaa
done the clay froze behind the stove
in the studio.
In these days Of the newly awak-
ened self-consciousnes of the New
Citizen it is peculiarly fitting that
this first artistic expression OF re
great problems of the state and NJ

American in feeling, with the me-

which the Pilgrim Fathers, ana

served as Assistant Judge Advocate
General during the war. This is
merely mentioned by way of in
forming those who have not been
following her work in the Legis-
lature during the recent session that
she is woman of mature mind.
Among her colleagues in the Assem-
bly, she earned the reputation of
being levelheaded, and won the
applause of her Tammany associ-
ates by her strict party regularity.
Her first vote as a member of the
Assembly illustrates her partisan
ship. She had just been escorted
down the aisle on the opening night
OF the session. She had been in he
seat little more than minute when
the clerk, who had been calling the
roll, reached her name. Swinging
around quickly in her chair, she
whispered to Charles D. Donohue.

are that it may be, fought out III
the Legislature. 1t would not do to
indulge in any experiments under
such circumstances"
1t was with an eye to 1920 that
other, Tammany leaders only a few
days before had agreed that Mrs.
Lilly would be an ideal leader. They
argued that the only chance the
Democrats had of breaking even in
the state, which is Republican by a
comfortable working margin in
normal years, was by making a
drive for the woman vote. And
they figured that one way of trying
to corral the recently enfranchised
sex was to follow the lead of Gov
ernor Smith, who appointed two Of
them to big paying and important
jobs in the state government, and
select a woman to direct the Demo-
cratic forces in the Assembly.
There are some who also fear
that if Mrs. Lilly were named for
the place there might be a little
rebellion on the part of some of
those who do not take overkindlv
to the new voters, or who would not
relish the idea of carrying out the
mandates Of woman. To this end
there has been talk of having
"Marty" McCuc, one-time pugilist,
run against Mrs. Lilly if she should
be candidate. McCue, who is
the dean of the Democrats in the
Assembly, having served continu-
ously since 1907, would have been
chosen in other years but for the
fact that his business-he conducts

crates a cafe-does not permit him

1t is rarely that men of ability
and with sufficient time of their
own can be found in legislative
halls. The pay of a legislator in
this state is 81, 500 annually. And
most who serve do it at financial
sacrifice. But this is depression.
Mrs. Lilly spent many months in
Albany before her election to the
Assembly fighting for equal pay
for the school teachers. And her
training as a school teacher, to-
gether with her experience as
lawyer, must be set down as the
chief reason for her success as
legislator.
Mrs. Lilly is a ready debater, with
a rich, pleasing contralto voice that
carries without effort. She took a
leading part in the fight against
prohibition, and her speech on the
question established her reputation
