Uncle Peabody wouldn't stop.
He hurried away. We pioneers rare

Mrs. Hacket and all the children, save

DoIIe in Literature.

A London writer has recently in
troduced the subject Of dolls In Tit
erature Almost anyone who viii
trouble TO search his memory can dis
cover a don somewhere between tho
covers of many a book which he has
read. Beginning with "slightine ref
ercnce to Them under the name of
babies" in Sydney's "Arcadia." and
noting the mention Of doll by Char
lotte Bronte, this writer concludes
that. until the nineteenth century
dolls were neglected by English au-
thcrs and that they appear more fire.
quently in French than in English fic-
ton. Dickens seems to have had more
to say about dolls than any other Eng
lish author; but the doll Nobby is an
important parsonage in Mr.. Wells
"Peter and Joan" and the dolls house
in "Tono-Bungay" contained 50 dolls,
although with none of them does the
reader become personally acquainted.
Jerry and Rosa, in "The Golden Age, "
are also remembered.

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.

Tbere are more women in industry
in JaDan than there are men, accord
TO a statement recently made by the
War Work Council Of the Young Wo
mems Christian Association.
The world war has brought S30OO0
women and girls into the daily grind
of industry according to this state
ment 10000 of them little girls under
fifteen wears of age who work twelve
hours ut wage Of ten to twenty cents
day. that the world may have sill
dresses and munitions
In Tokyo alone. a city OF two ana
one-half million people, there are loo,-
600 women employed in siXty-two in'
dustries and businesses varying from
work as telephone operators, clerks
stenographers and bookkcepers 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 poor
conditions under which they work and
live. They are housed in dOrmitOries
in the factory compound. These dormi-
tories are frequently unsanitary. The
girls work long hours, have no recre-
alton and on finishing their long day
go Immediately to bed, Oftentimes a
bed which a girl who works at night
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 cheaply under healthfu
physical and social conditions, to senC
| out secretaries who can introduce rec
reation into the factory compound anC
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 mos
prominent woman manufacturer il
Japan, vino is owner and manager of {
firm which exported $11,0O0OOO wortl
of bean oil to America last year.
Recently Mrs. Suzuki decided t.
employ one thousand women in he
offices. She could not find enOugl
we'll trained ones so she establishe'
a permanent school where Japanes
girls may be trained to enter the busi
ness world. The greatest DANCE
ahead Of Japan, she says, is in it
growing materialism, and Japan
greatest need, the development of he
| women.

feelings, l suffered no end Of pain.
But my misery did not all como
from my stomach, for I suffered be-

Why, the knuckles of my right hand
