DESIRE FOR HIGHER
EDUCATION SWEEPS
THROUGH THE ORIENT
(By The Associated Press.l

Chicago, Dec. SO.-A desire for
woman's higher education is
sweeping over the orient the girls
of India, China and Japan are ask
ing for a better preparation for
life, according to Mrs. Murray
Frame, of Yenching college,
Picking, who has just completed a
tour of the United States in the
interest of better education for
woman in the orient,
Within the last few years, seven
colleges for women have made
their beginning in the Far East,
according to Mrs. Frame. Five of
them are arts colleges and two
medical, she states.
They are located as follows: two
in India, at Lucknow in the north
and at Madras in the south; two in
China, one in the northern capital,
Picking, the other in the old south
ern capital. Marking; one in
Tokyo, the capital of Japan. The
two medical schools are in Vellore,
India and Peking, China.
Last winter, when North China
was in the strangle-hold of that
terrible famine" Mrs. Frame
states, students Of Yenching
Peking) college gave Maeter-
linck's The Bluebird' in Chi
nese, through which they raised
$500 for the sufferers. Then a
small group were excused tempo
rarily from college and went out
into the nearest famine regions to
investigate. They found such num-
bers of poor little girls, either de-
serted to die, or about to be sold
by their desperate parents into a
life of shame, that they begged the
use of two Buddhist temples to
serve as haven. There they
cared for over two hundred fam
inc victims through the long win
ter months, other girls in the coll
lege securing money and clothing,
and coming in relays for two weeks
at a time to help in the work.
Among other ways Of raising
money the girls gave Merchant of
Venice in Chinese.
Are the girls ready for these
opportunities? Every year they
come In eager groups, many of
them several days journey, to en-
ter this land of their dreams. But
every year many must be turned
sadly away for lack of room. A
year ago AIS applicants came for
admission to the medical college
at Vellore. Only twenty eight
could be received. One hundred
and fifty would-be medical work.

JOAN WRITES OF MARTHA
HARDY.
Chapter So.

Chapter SO.
Margaret would have felt rather
lonely in spite of her pleasure in
her new home and in her freedom,
had it not been for Janet Walters
whom she laughingly called: "her
safety valve"
Janet had kept her promise and
introduced Margaret to many
charming people in a series OF din
ners she gave for her. Margaret
reciprocated as soon as social us
age permitted and at the expira-
ton of a month felt she had be-
come in a sense one of small but
select coterie.
Her dinners were the delight
and despair of the women she en-
1ertained. Hannah's delicious
cooking made them envious, while
Margaret's skill as hostess was in
clined to make them Jealous. To
offset this was their appreciation
Of the food, and their pleasure in
their artistic surroundings.
Margaret was, as we have said,
b finished musician, although, up
to this time her music had been

Bridge she had learned to play
expertly. And while rather indif-
ferent to cards, she never refused
TO take hand but graciously
Joined any game when asked. In
other ways too she endeavored to
please--never hanging back when
any pleasuring was proposed; but
entering into everything with a
zest which added immensely to
her popularity. For the world
over 1t is the man and woman who
are ready, who make no excuses,
who are popular.
In other ways too she did not
hold back as she used to do. Her
calls were returned promptly.
Little amenities Of life that here
tofore had escaped her notice be-
cause of her ABSORPTION in Joan's
affairs now received attention. She
soon was remarked upon as an ex-

tremely thoughtful woman.
In consequence of these attrib-
utes she was much sought after,
and Mrs. Walters predicted a very
gay winter for her protege, as she
laughingly dubbed Margaret.
One morning Margaret was
reading one of Joan's forwarded
letters, letter full of schoolgirl
gossip, and Joan's quaint philos-
ophy concerning people and things,
when the telephone rang.
Come over to tea this after
noon, I have some people I want
you to meet coming in" It was
Mrs. Walters who spoke, and be-
cause it was usual thing for her
to receive such an invitation Mar
garet accepted, then gave 1t no
further thought, returning to
Joan's letter.
II do so Tant you to know some
Of my new friends, Mumsie," she
wrote. they are dears! you might
not approve of some of their ideas
but that is because you have lived
the CONSTRUCTED life of the small
town. Were you in New York
where people live every minute of
the time, you would better under
stand. I shall bring, at least, one
of the girls home with me for the
Christmas vacations. Martha
Hardy. She is a rampant socialist
but very clever and charming. She
makes such girls as Hortense
Thompson and Gloria Freeman
seem very young and uninterest-
ing. I am still fond Of Gloria and
Hortense. but often wonder IL I
could endure their chit-chat after
being with brainy girls like Mar
tina. Martha isn't pretty, but she
is very clever looking. OF course
she wears her hair bobbed. You
remember I had decided to let
mine grow long when l left home
but after meeting the girls ana
finding that most of the really
clever ones wear bobbed hair de-
cided l would keep mine short.
Martha says long hair needs so
much attention; II takes the time

the mind and studying economic
conditions of the world. You
should hear her talk about capital
and labor, how capital grinds Ia
Dor into the dust. One forgets
she Is just girl and remembers
only what she says. I only hope
that some time I may be able to
talk as cleverly on the same SUBJ

ANSWERED LETTERS.

Constant Reader: please tell
me how to clean a kitchen hard
wood floor. 1t has become black
and stained"
Answer: You did not say
whether or not your floor was fin
ished in any way-as with Varnish
or oil. So | assume that it is not.
To bleach wood, add to either soda
or potash solution 1 pound of
quloklime, using cold water to mix.
Apply with brush, wearing gloves
to protect the hands. Oxalic acid
is also fine to bleach wood if APP
piled long enough. 1t is especially
good to remove spots like ink or
stains from long wear, from floors.
Use the acid concentrated and to
room 10 by 20 feet, four pounds
will be needed. Remember, it $
a poison and should not be left
where children or pets can get at
it. If your floor space is not
large, you will need only a small
quantity OF the oXalic acid crystals
dissolved in / cup of water. Rinse
well after it Las been on the floor
for some time, ard if the wood is
not bleached apply the acid sec
ond time. Chloride-of-lim is also
used for removing stains from
hard wood. followed by rinsing
after 1t has been on while. Ex-
pertinent in an inconspicuous por-
ton of your floor before attempt
ing to clean the entire surface. If
your floor is vanished however,
you can remove the stain only by
scraping the varnish off-right
down to the bare wood. For,
badly stained varnish floor must
be revarnished; it cannot be
patched up.

recipes for sandwiches for school
