worker in her native country, who was in
Wilmington for an address before the
Y. ". &. A.
DR. Kahn is n fluent speaker whose per-
feet command Of English and knowledge
Of affairs in China made bor brief talk OK
tremely interesting
Or Kahn stated she wondered at the
versatility of American women and their
information on matters abroad, as well
as their patriotism.
Chinese women, she said, particularly
the younger generation, are likewise keen
~ alive to the duties Of patriotism, and
are doing their part TO aid China's de-
velopment Of industries, such as weaving
cloth making, etc. in determined effort
10 rid China 0f the menace Of Japan,
through persistent development of the
countTy's great agricultural and manu-
featuring resources.
Tho students in China have brought
about many changes, Or Kahn said
During the recent revolutions of the
country. even the girl members of the
most aristocratic families took part in
frequent demonstrations In fact, the
women Of China are welded together into
a great force Chinese women are always
encouraged in doing successful things
and Chinese women are clevef
But material prosperity alone will not
help China, the speaker stated Chris
tianity - needed and here is where
America can do her part. The spirit q
humanity Is needed
DR. Kahn touched on polygamy. one
Of the evils existent in China Home life
as a rule, however, she stated. was of a
high order
That Japan has world domination in
view, and that another world war would
see America bear the brtnt Of fury wac the
speaker prediction
Therefore she said. American women

a concerted stand for Christianity and
patriotism.

Be Careful What You
Wash Your Hair With

Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali which IS very
injurious, as il dries the scalp and makes
the hair brittle
The best thing to use Is Mulsi6ed CO.
coanut oI shampoo for this is pure and
entirely greaseless. It. very cheap and
beats any thing else all to pieces. You
can get TINS at any drug store, and few
ounces will the whole familvfor months
Simply moisten the hair with water
and rub it in, about a teaspoonful Is all
that IS required 1t makes an abundance
OF rich. creamy lather, cleanses thorough
ally. and rinses out easily. The hair dries
quickly and evenly, and Is soft. fresh
looking, bright. fluffy wavy. and easy to
handle. Besides it loosens and takes out
every particle OF dust. dirt and dandruf.

LIST OF WHAT THEY CAN'T DO
RILES ENGLISH WOMEN

English women are deeply stirred hv
the publication of a list of things women
cannot do The author IS well-known
engineer. James Swlnburne. who says:
There never has heen'a a woman critic.
No wonan has brought out a system of
harmony. No woman has written n lead
ing textbook on any branch OF music. No
woman has made a name as teacher of
composition of even piano or fiddle play
ing There has never been an eminent
woman organist No musical instrument
has ever been invented by woman.
"Net every day million women waste
some million hours working on n million
pianos costing as much as a navy
The war was q huge sex advertisement
for women. Women wore comic opera
uniforms and all their organizations had
women in the titles. How many women
have taken their sewing machines to
pieces to understand how they work
Their complete lack of any kind Of
mechanical understanding Is shown in the
smallest things of daily life. A very com
mon blind c0rt cleat is a button on a bent
up stem. so that a single turn bitches the
cord No power on earth will prevent
women from winding the cord round and
round and knottlng IT,

"A woman cannot cut pencil She
dabs her pen TO the bottom of tho ink

BEAUTY PERPETUAL.
By Clinton Scoilard.

Looking upon the winter barren boughs,
And seeing how the snow and sleet
and rain
Hurtle their javelins against the pane,
Aud hearing how the wind makes mad
carousc
Around the shrouded gables Of the house
Like one in fury, | do not complain.
Nor deem that perished beauty is in
vain,
Nor at its storm swept altars vain our
NowS.
Rather my thought leaps forward to the
time
When roses up the trellises shall climb,
The evening primrose show its golden
Brushed by the fleeting moths wings as
they pass,
When the glow worm shall glimmer in the
grass,
And beauty come unto its own once
more.

FOR MORE COMMUNITY MUSIC
Boston Newspaper Makes Strong Point
Of Its Value in Creating a
Sense Of Unity.

The growth of community music
means many things. remarks the Bos-
ton Herald. 1t means an endless
source Of pure pleasure to those who
listen, and far more to those who par
ticipate. 1t means a mighty stimulus
to the love and understanding of good
music. 1t means that at last we are
beginning to weary of being enter
tanned by others and mean to create
and perform our W music, through
our W efforts. Most important of
all, it means that America is discover
ing at last that she is a united nation
and is expressing her joyful EMS of
unity in song.
Let us see that the children have
their share in this national awakening,
a voice in this national chorus. Let
every village, town and city gather its
young people and train them for a
community chorus or orchestra. There
could be no surer means Of making
them loyal to each other and to their
country and of preparing a musical
future for the nation.
The word war has taught us, for n
thing, how to come together as n COM
munity for spiritual expression In
song. We shall be the richer II we
and cultivate this practice.

PROPER STORAGE FOR FRUIT

The first requisite of a storage place

The first question TO confront the
home builders is: "In what section
shall we locate?" That is a question
for the individual to decide, but the
things he should look at carefully
and answer before buying are: Is it
a healthful location? Is the trans
portation service good? Has the town
complete sewerage system? Is the
water supply good? Can gas and cleo
trio light be supplied at n reasonable
rate2 Are there city cOnveniences.
such as mail delivery, fire and police
protection, good schools, churches,
clubs, and, last but not least, what is
the possible future of the place? Is
II well protected by restrictions for
residential purposes? VIII twO-family
or apartment houses encroach or bust
ness come too near? 1t Is the re-
strictlons on the surrounding property
that are of vital interest to the pur-
chaser, not the restrictions on the
piece being bought. You know what
you are going to do and you also want
to know what others in the vicinity
could do, should they be so disposed.
