MEN TEND BABIES IN JAPAN
Women In That Country Relieved Of
Many Burdens Connected With
Care Of Children.

There is no race suicide as yet In
Japan. Nor have mothers and ia
theirs reached that stage of modesty
where they leave the products Of
their union at home and out Of
sight. 1t seems to me that our west
ern civilization, with its shyness and
overemphasis of certain conceptions
of morality, has brought about race
suicide and has made motherhood
ashamed of itself.
Here in Japan, where the increase
in population is about S00,O00 every
year, there is none Of that sensitive
ness.
What Is more interesting is to see
how evenly the burdens of rearing
offspring are shared. Men and boys
are seen carrying the young upon
their backs almost as often as the
women, and it would seem that a
father who is true to his duty to
his children is not regarded as eff
Terminate. Nor is it done merely
as a duty. The bearer, whether
mother, father, sister, or brother, is
often seen chatting to the tiny mite
upon his or her back, playing with
and amusing the burden. This is
another phase Of the communal
character Of these people. No one
seems to mind the presence in pub
lie places Of all these children and
their nurses, however much they
may interfere with the traffic. Sid

TO RESTORE COLONIAL HOME
Batch HOUSE, Built at Beverly, Mass,
In 1888, 10 the Oldest In
New England.

A movement has been started for
the restoration of the home built
by John Balch in Beverly, Mass,
in 1888, and which is now consid-
cred the Oldest house in New Eng
land. The house is intact, except
ing for the stills and some of the
rafters, but it has been changed
from its original appearance by en-
largements and Improvements"
from time to time.
The present owners of the house
are aiding the movement, and have
not only refused to sell it at profit
in the present high market, but have
offered $1,000 toward its preserva-
ton as q historic relic.
John Balch was one of the four
early settlers known as the "Old
Planters" and was one of the orig
inal members Of the first church Of
Salem and prominent man of af-
fairs in the early life of the colony.
The homes of the other three "Old
Planters" have long since disap-
peared.
An effort is being made to locate
the descendants of Mr.. Balch to aid
in the movement for the preserva-
ton of the home Of their ancestor.
