What Is Charm?

The charming woman possesses n
definite personality. She makes her
entrances and exits felt. and one would
rather talk with her than with many
other people. She may not be anything
remarkable. hut she utters even com
monplaces in way Of her own She
Is sympathetic listener and neither
her eyes nor her interest ever wander
Tact and charm are near akin, as
both include the gift OF saying the
right thing at the right time. We
all know the woman who quite unintcn-
tionally makes her friends as uncom.
Portable rs the kitten with her fur
rubbed the wrong way. We all know,
also, her opposite. the creature from
whose presence one always cmerges
cheered and comfOrtcd. with tho agree
able sensation that one has been ap-
preclatet ut last.
The charming woman never Stoops
to flattcry. She honestly believes the
best of everyone. and considers ii her
mission on earth To ,liffuse happiness
around her. To spread sunshine on
earth seems divine attitude, and the
charming woman usurps il as her spe-
cinl prcrogativc.

WOMEN EXCEED men
IN JAPANESE FACTORIES
$4,000 Japanese Women Work
at Average Daily Wage of Ten
to Twenty Cents for a
Twelve Hour Day.

There arc more women in industry
in Japan than there are men. accord,
to statement recently made by the
War Work Council OF the Young Wo-
mems Christian Association.
The world war has brought $4,000
women and girls into the daily grind
OF Industry according TO this state
mcnf; 10000 Of them little girls under
fifteen years OF age who work twelve
hoars ut wage of ten to twenty cents
day, that the world may have silk
dresses and munitions.
In Tokyo alone, city Of two and
one-half million people. there are 100.
600 women employed in sxty-two in.
dustrieS and businesses varying from
work as telephone operators. clerks.
stcnographers and 1bookkecpers to
work in silk and other sorts Of fac-
tories and domestic work.
Each year. thousands OF these wo-
men go back TO their homes in the
country, broken in health and victims
OF tuberculosis because of the poui
conditions under which they work and
live. They are housed In dorIuitorics
In the factory compound. These dorini-
tories are frequently unsanitary. The
girls work long hours. have no recre-
alton and on finishing their long day
so Immediately to bed, oftentimes n
bed which a girl who works ut nigh:
has been sleeping In all day.
AS part Of Its world service for wo-
men, the Young Women's Christian
Association plans to build dormitories
In manufacturing towns where girls
may live acheaply under healthfu!
physical and social conditions. to send
out secretaries who can introduce rec
rention into the factory compound and
direct games and social life.
This Is done with the cooperation
Of the factories managers and pro-
prietors. One OF the most influential
Of these is Mrs. Suzuki. the most
prominent woman manufacturer In
Japan, who IS owner and manager or
firm which exported Sill 600 600 worth
Of bean oil to America last year
Recently Mrs. Suzuki decided 10
employ one thousand women in her
offices. She could not find enough
we'll trained ones SO she established
q permanent school where japanese
girls may be trained 10 enter the bust
ness world. The greatest danger
ahead OF Japan, she says, is in Its
growing matcrialism, and Japan's
greatest need, the development of her
women.

Forced To Cancel Big Hat Orders Wimpfheimer Asserts Union Officials Stopped
 Shipment. COULDN'T GET
 BODIES HE NEEDED Had to Cancel Orders Worth $11,229 As
 Result.

That he was forced to cancel S11,- = 229 worth of orders because of ac- ton of the union in stopping ship ments to him of hat bodies and that he was told by union officials he could not get any more hat bodies if they could stop it, were the prin- cipal facts brought out in the testi- mony of Charles Wimpfh elmer, pres dent of the R. & W. Hat Co. of Nor walk, before Judge Maltbie when the hearing on the injunction proceed fngs started by the company against the United Matters Of North America was resumed today at the county courthouse.
 Vim pfheimer was subected to a long cross examination by Attorney David E. Fitzgerald of New Haven, counsel for the Danbury and Nor walk locals of the union, which have made a motion to have the injunction obtained against them dissolved.
 Wimpfheimer said it was too late now to fill his September and Octo- Der orders even if he could get the hat bodies. He said the failure of George McLachlan to ship this ma terial because he was told by the unions not to do so, was the reason the shipmens had beten delayed.
 He obained the injunction on the ground that the union was conspirIng g to boycott his factory because he was conducting an open shop. Until the court takes further acton the union mem bers are restrained from con- ttnuing the boycott.
 At yesterday afternoons hearing Wimpfheimer told of hi visit to Dan bury when he made an effort to per- suade union officials to let McIach- Ian ship the hat bodies. He testified:
 q met O'Hara and Scully with MT. McLachlan at Hatters' hall in Dan bury July and told them that had come to Danbury to see about getting through my orders for bodies in the McLach1an factories. The union men told me that I could not get any and when I asked them what l should do, they told me the best thing for me to do was to go back to Norwalk and turn my shop union. They said that I would not get bodies from any union shop if they could stop it.''
 Winp pfhe elmer declared also that MT. McLachlan told him the union would not allow the shipment of hats to the Norwalk factory and even ob- jected to the delivery of orders al- ready finished for the plaintiffs con- cern. The witness declared that he had been further told that the union would impose a fine of $400 or $500 on McLachlan if he furnished bodies to Wimpfheimer and that a strike would be called until the fine was paid
 Other witnesses were Martin Law Tor, secretary of the United Hatters of North America; Royal L. Ray rnond and Charles w. Keene, officers of locals 5 and 6 in Norwalk; Wm. H. Nadin, of Norwalk; John O'Hara and Hugh c. Shalvoy, officers of To- calls 10 and II, of Danbury. O'Hara referred to by Wimpfheimer as a t the meeting of July 7, is secretary of the Makers local in Danbury and the president is Jeremiah Scully.

 "Gerrnany is now technically, a friendly power, or soon will be. That being so. we suggest that our press might with advantage discontinue its sprightly habit of using the words Hun and 'Boche' on all possible occasions.
 'It is not because of our love for the Germans. but regard of our own reputation for good manners, that this suggestion is made. We shall be sorry to part with 'Boche.' The name was an inspiration. Hun has no merit except brevity and all persons of good sense will be glad to see it go."
