Oetested Cowardice.

Cecil is not particularly pugnacious,
but he detested cowardice in any one,
and, noting Georges aversion to games
in which he might get hurt, he deter
mined to initiate him. The teacher
caught him holding George down, and
he was asked to explain.
"Well." he answered. II dared
George to fight, and he ran; so I'm
holding him till I can argue some cour-
age into him; then we are going to
have q scrap"

oNE-FouRTH WORLDS
WOMEN IN CHINA
Seventy Per Cent. Employees in
Shanghai Cotton Mills Wom-
en- and Children WORKING
Twelve Hour Shifts.

One-fourth of the women in the
world are Chinese-2OO,OO 100000 of
them. They are going into industry
in large numbers to work long hours
and for little money
In Shanghai, for instance seventy
per cent Of the employees in the
cotton mills are women and children
Working hours for spinners are from
six in the morning until six at night
and from six at night until six In the
morning. Weavers work from s 80 in
the morning until seven at night and
the wages are from ten to twenty cents
a day. Hundreds of women are en-
ployed in silk filature mills, standing
hour after hour washing cocoons in
basins of boiling water in the ex-
cessively hot rooms necessary for
apartments where fine silk Is spun.
In Canton alone, there are 10000
women in factories at maximum
wage of forty cents day for women
and Of fifteen cents a day for girls.
AS part Of its program Of world
service for women the National Young
Women's Christian Association Is ex-
pecting to put on its staff Of Sec
retaries in China an expert on in
dustrial conditions who will develop
social work in factories, and work to
improve conditions for women en-
ployeeS. This work will include the
introduction of recreation and social
life among the workers and of health
lectures and educational classes.
Hops.
Hops are grown in number of
states. In the central and northern
part Of the state Of New York many
farmers make specially of their
growth. The yield is from 700 to 800
pounds the acre in that state, but on
the Pacific coast. where most Of the
hops consumed here are grown, the
yield is between 1000 and 1000
pounds per acre. Oregon produces
more hops than any other state in the
Union. BY far the greater part Of the
hops raised have been consumed in
the breweries of the country, but they
are also used in pharmaceutical prep
arations. The present one-half of I
per cent beer contains hops, but not
in such large quantities as in beers
Of the larger alcoholic content. And
then it Is not likely that the kind Of
beer permitted under the prohibitory
law will appeal largely to the drinkers
Of old-time beer 1t seems certain
that the demand for hons will fail off
greatly.

rHnERAL LAW FOn Ll'.CHERs.

remarkable editorial article appeared the other
day Of the ablest Of southern newspapers, The
Houston Post The aubtec' lynch law and the oc-
casion was the burning Of a negro named Bragg VIII
liama at Hnlsboro Texas. The Post dsmsaes Of
slight consideration al proposals either to punish the
lynchers TO mulct the community in damages as
is proposed by bin pending before the Texas legisa-
ture It says.
The Post believes. however that the half-century-
old ynchng problem is about to pass from the jurs-
dction of authority the domain Of federal
action Surely in the light of half century Of lynch
ing in which the victims have numbered thousands,
the failure Of the states must be confessed :"
The failure has been shamefully complete and when
the federal shall essay this task OF sup
pressing anarchy and dealing with those who set at
naught the laws of the country and set themselves
judge jury and executioner. state which has
bloody record Of mob law staining its escutcheon will
have any right TO protest.
Coming from a southern newspaper, especially
like The Post. this is noteworthy. About prem
ses there be dispute. The states have in truth
failed 10 suppress ynching, and this applies to north
states well southern 1t is true that in
some instances law officers in northern states have
shown more vigor in following up the crime than in
southern states, but in the majority of little
distinction has been observable Now and then some
unusually determined officer like Governor Stanley
OF Kentucky has been able to prevent lynching by
display Of great energy and personal courage But
like this may almost be counted on ones fingers
while the unpreyented and unpunished lynchtng5 are
uncounted and uncounable
The crime of lynching has been more prevalent in
he south than in he north and for that north
men would be slow to propose any such remedy
this southern newspaper does The grave objec-
tons 10 such extension OF federal power are OBJ
vious. But when he proposal comes from so dignihed
and important Of opinion it shows that the
wish and purpose to put an end to ynching are a
force to be reckoaed with It be that The Post
speaks for itself alone Other aoutherners undoubted.
l., hold he same view. The north, think will be
disposed to stand aside and let the south take the
lead in suggesting remedies for what is not alone
southern but national evil. and VIII give weight
to the conclusion ~ the Houston newspaper that fed
eral action would be less hampered In dealing with
the peculiar difficulties surrounding mob violence than
state processes have beer. New York Times

Save Billion Dollars
By Bread-Eating

Julius H. Barnes, U. S. wheat Gi-
rector, urges Americans to restore
normal flour consumption by eating
more bread. Following is a tele-
gram sent by Mr.. Barnes to the mills
of Albertlea in response to their plea
for his help in Strengthening the
flour situation:

mills of Albertlea,
Albertlea, Minnesota,
''Your telegram received. My
views on the consumption of wheat
flour and its displacement in the
household economy of more expens-
i've foods was expressed by ME in
a recent press release which / re-
peat now as follows:
"'The American housewife can
work out substantial relief in a nat
ural way. The flour consumption Of
America fell from its normal Of two
hundred thirty-five pounds per cap
ita to one hundred seventy-one
pounds during the last year. This
proves conclusively that bread was
displaced in the diet by higher-priced
foods. Two hundred thirty-five
pounds Of flour per capita would
furnish from thirty to thirty-five
per cent of the necessary food val
ues and this return to normal flour
consumption with a consequent saw
ing of higher price foods would work
out an actual national saving for
the year Of one billion dollars in the
national food bill. More than that
the reduction of strain on higher
price foods such as meats, eggs, and
butter would by that very' reduction
of demand probably secure a low
ering of the price level in those
foods. Twelve million housewives
administered their table during war
times with war conscience. The
same twelve million housewives to-
day could greatly tighten the strain
