While Free Magazines Averaged
 300,00 Monthly.

Paris-(By MaiD-If it Is true that armies travel on their stomachs, then the American Expeditionary Forces included literature in their diets. The Y. M. c. A. distributed more than 5,- 000,000 bound volumes throughout the American units abroad during the months of the war. For number of months more than 300,000 magazines were distributed monthly without cost to the soldier, but at an expense ol $30,o00 per month.
 More than 28,000, ,000 copies were dis tributed during the period of the war ct monthly cost of $86,000. Ninety per cent of these were given away. More than 100000 volumes of text books were printed or bought by the association for educational work, all of them eventually being taken over by the Army along the Y. M. O., A educational work. A million and a half copies of Popular Songs of the A E. F." 96 page song book, were printed by the "Y" and distributed free of charge to the doughboys. while works and sheet works were given away. There was also free distribu- ton of more than 100000 pieces of religious literature.
 Before the American Library Asso- citation arrived in France to carry on it's enormous work the task of furnish ing all literature fell upon the "Y, and at times because of dificultie: attendant on shipping the association was forced to advertise in Paris paperi for gifts of reading matter printed ir English in order to be able to carry O.. its work.

GUN COTTON BASIS OF SILK
French inventor, After Long Study, i. Has Evolved Truly Wonderful { Artificial Product.

According to Count Hilnire, inventor of artificial silk, which is now pro- duced by vast factories in Switzerland, Belgium, France, England and the United. States, 1t has for it's basis noth- ing less than gun cotton One of the greatest problems he had to solve in perfecting it for everyday use was to render it nonexplosive.
 The gun cotton under the chardon. net process is first dissolved in mix ture of alcohol and ether and then spun through fine capillary tubes by means of hydraulic presses.
 Other chemical processes give 1t in- combustible and nonexplosive quali- ties, together with the consistency and the transparency of the finest silk from Japan or China.
 It took just 30 years of the 80 which Count Hilaire has completed to per feet his discovery and render 1t of act ual and practical commercial value.
 The illustrious chemist and scientist has just been elected to the supreme honor of membership in the French Academy of Sciences for his discovery of how to put one over on the silk worms. During the war he had been decorated by the French minister of war with the Cross of Chevalier of the Legion of Honor for discoveries relative to the manufacture of high ex- Dlosives growing out of his researches made primarily to render artificial silk stockings nonexplosive.

WOMEN EXCEED MEN IN JAPANESE FACTORIES
$50, ,000 Japanese Women Work at Average Daily Wage of Ten to Twenty Gents for a
 Twelve Hour Day. .->

There are more women in industry to statement recently made by the War Work Council of the Young wd. mems Christian Association
 The world war has brought S5O,oOO women and girls into the daily grind of Industry according to this state. ment; 30,000 of them little girls under fifteen years of age who work twelve hours at wage of ten to twenty cents day, that the world may have silk dresses and munitions.
 In Tokyo alone, a city of twos and one-half million people, there are 100,- 900 women employed in sixty-two in. dustries and businesses varying from work as telephone operators, clerks, stenographers and bookkeepers 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, ation and on finishing their long day go immediately to bed, oftentimes a bed which girl who works at night has been sleeping In all day.
 As part of its world service for wo. men. the Young Wonen's Christian Association plans to build durmitorics In manufacturing towns where girls may live cheaply under healthfu. physical and social conditions, to send out secretaries who can introduce rec reation 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 Of a firm which exported Sll.000000 worth of bean oil to America last year.
 Recently Mes Suzuki decided to employ one thousand women in her offices She >could not fnd enough we'll trained ones so she established a permanent school where Japanese girls may be trained 10 enter the bust. ness world. The greatest danger ahead of Japan, she says, Is in it's growing materialism. and Japan's greatest need, the development of her women.

Scope Is Vast.

This movement to continue and CD. large in time of peace Red, Cross ac- tivities comes at a psychological mo- ment when the world is familiar with the work of relief performed by the Red Cross during the greatest war of history and when suffering and distress following in the wake of that war are we'll nigh universal
 Vast as the scope of the program of the League of Red Cross Societies is, and although 1t is world wide in its application, 1t is simple, practical and scientific. It received the unanimous who met at Cannes, France, in April. That conference, which was presided over by Professor Roux, successor of Pasteur, and Dr. William H. Welch, of Johns Hopkins, Is regarded as one of | the most remarkable gatherings of health experts ever held, and included many of the foremost men of America, France, England, Italy and Japan. The League of Red Cross plans, through its headquarters at Geneva, to stimulate peace time activities of all national Red Cross Societies, to help 1 them grow and to help them to carry out the program made at the Cannes
 conference in a world wide public
 health campaign. It is to be under
 stood that it is not thought that Ma tional Red Cross Societies themselves
 should have the responsibilities of the
 actual work of safeguarding and i'm
 proving public health, but that they
 should stimulate and encourage nat
 ural agencies for such work within their respective countries, including 1 the departments of health of their
 governments, or, in cases where such
 departments do not exist, endeavor to
 create pubic sentiment for the estab.
 lishment of such departments.
