report, has greatly curtailed production:
IL was said today that the President
might appeal to miners who are on
strike in Illinois and Indiana to return
to work pending amicable settlement OF
their grievances. Their demands for an

coal fields.

Pittsburg, Kan, Srly 30.-Alexander
Howat. district president of the United
Mine Workers, today wired John Il.
Lewis, international president. at In;
dianapolis, that Kansas miners would
.'usc all the power in their command to
compel the operators to return every
dollar that was stolen from their
wages" Several thousand Kansas
miners are idle in protest against fines
imposcd by operators because the miners
refused to work Saturdays.
Howat's declaration was regarded by,
operators as tantamount to defiance OF
the international president. President
Lewis. in recent telegram to the local
official, took the stand that the five day
week instituted by the miners, and
which resulted in the assessments levied
nv the operators, was a violation of the
uniOn contract.

Pr. Ida Kahn, In recent appeal to
modern Chinese women said, LET our
women of education In Picking and

to work for the schools, Red Cross and
Y. w. c.. A., and everything else which
bespeaks the betterment of the coun-

LET us rally our forces and help the

work wonders Let us 60 back to a
more Spartan-like simplicity Of living
and let us build up social service until
every city in China Is sanitary, every
section of the town has its proper
schools. and every child, whether boy
or girl, is sent to such schools. True
social service brings democracy In It's

II often happens that the organs OF your
body do not function properly, for some
reason or other. There Is nothing really
wrong, and you are not sick. But GER
family you are not well, either.
If you are In such condition, read
what Nc. VIM. M. Bass, ri. l, Crossville,
Ala, did, and try Ziron Iron Tonic, as
he did. MIR. Bass says:
IL am nearly always pretty well and
strong and do not need much medicine
excepting for headaches. But, recently,
when had not been feeling very well
for a while, | knew ! needed some sort
of medicine TO make me all right.
Itook Ziron and itmade me strong and
well again."

doing this, may prevent serious attack
OF illness, which you are liable to "catch"
at any time II your system is weakened
or your condition below par.
ziron has well proven its value az a
tonic. Try 1t when you feel the least bit
out of sorts, not quite as good as usual,
tired and weary.

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 are 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
ment; 10000 Of them little girls under
fifteen years of age who work twelve
hours at wage of ten to twenty cents
a day, that the world may have silk
dresses and munitions.
In Tokyo alone, city of two 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
photographers and bookkeepers to
work in silk and other sorts of fac
tories and domestic work.
Each year thousands Of these wo-
men 60 back to their homes In the
country, broken in health and victims
of tuberculosis because of the poor
live. They are housed in dormitories
In the factory compound. These dormi-
tories are frequently unsanitary. The
Grls work long hours, have no recre-
antion 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 Women's Christian
Association plans to build dormitories
in manufacturing towns where girls
may live cheaply under healthful
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 manufac turer In
Japan, who Is owner and manager Of a
firm which exported $11,0OO,0OO worth
of bean oil to America last year.
Recently Mrs. Suzuki decided to
employ one thousand women In her
offices. She could not find enough
we'll trained ones SO she established
permanent school where Japanese
girls may be trained to enter the busi-
ness world. The. greatest danger
ahead of Japan, she says, Is In its
growing materialism, and Japan's
greatest need, the development of her
women.

CHiNEcE WOMEN HAVE

Much has been said about the hon
esty and skill Of the Chinese business
man. The world has neglected to men
ton the financial ability of Chinese
women. They proved this ability In
tile last financial campaign of the Y.
W. c. A. in Tientsin.
Ordinarily three weeks are allowed
In which to raise the budget by SUBJ
scription after the finance committee
has decided upon the sum necessary
to carry on the work Of the coming
