TRADE CONDUCTED BY WOMEN
On the Loo Choo Islands the Weaker Sex Has Charge of All the
 Merchandising.

Between Japan and the island of Fornosa not far from China'S coast wise routes, are the Loo ChOO islands the home of the world famous red lac Quer ware. The islands, says Roy Chapman Andrews. writing fin the Ma tional Geographic Magazine. are not yet Japan, although the little hidden kingdom was conquered more than forty years ago. The ware tables. bowls. trays and boxes used daily throughout Japan and China. and sold to thousands of tourists come princi- pally from the little towns of Naha and Shuri.
 The trade in the ware Is conducted entirely by the women, who do all the merchandising and in fact have charge of 1t. They are strictly one price merchants. the amount first asked for an article being the one at which it Is finally sold, no matter how much bargaining Is done.
 The women are straight of back and erect of carriage, due to the GUS tom of carrying everything on their heads. No matter what the weight or size of the object they place 1t on their head. and walk off, seemingly giving no thought to balancing 1t.
