japanese Girls
Stop Smoking

their homes Doctor Haden said "The
influence Of the West has almost
stopped this custom, although 1t is to
the interest of the government to fos-
ter it, as tobacco is a government mo-
nopoly'
New Word for "Home" Coined.
Doctor Haden said that a new word
for home-"katei" has been coined in
Japan to express the meaning and idea
OF home life in Western civilization as
is being learned by the japanese.
"The changing conditions of Japa-
nese women is only begun, but it is pro-
ceedIng with a rapidity and intensity
which are very significant and hope
full, he said. "The japanese language
has a word expressing house and
household but they had no conception
Of home life in the Occident, where
women are on an equal footing with
men. This IS now expressed by
katei, with the new appreciation of
home as thing to be shared by hus-
band and wife and the gradual rise of
the japanese women to the position Of
their American and British sisters
| Doctor Haden said that the city pop
ulation Of Japan is increasing 10 times
rs fast as that of the country, due to
/ the change Of industry from agrlcul-
/ ture to manufacturing More than L.,
100000 are engaged in factory work
and more than one-half of these are
under twenty years of age he said.
Women Discard Sandals for Shoes.
"A significant and interesting indi-
cation Of the change in progress In
Japan now said Doctor Huden, us
the fact that, while the japanese wom-
en- retain the kimono as their chief at
tire, they have discarded the obl-the
folded square of cloth worn on the
bacli-and over their kimonos many
Of the women now wear a full, divided
skirt, which ties around the waist with
wide sash hanging at the side.
Many Of them also wear shoes instead
Of their sandals.
"Diyorce laws also have been re-
vlsed in accord with other transit
tlons. Formerly a man could send his
wife back to her parents without ex-
cuse or explanation. This act consti-
tuted legal freedom for him. Now he
can only divorce her for infdelty or
by agreement with her. The woman
rs yet has no recourse against the In
fidelity Of her husband, not even
though he bring q concubine into the
home, as frequently has been done.
"The example Of Americans, their
homes and schools in Japan, gradually
has altered the hearts and feelings of
the japanese until now they have been
Induced to effect these changes"
