CHINESE WOMEN WANT
ABOLITION OF MONEY
ENGAGEMENT SYSTEM
tBy Associated Press)

TAIWAN, Formosa, Oct. 3.-The
world movement for Woman's emanci-
patton has struck Formosa at time
when the high cost of wives is being
felt severely. The women, who are
mostly of the Chinese race, are de-
manding the abolition of the system of
engagement money which is paid by
their suitors when the marriage con-
tract is made, declaring that the pay
ment of money to their parents is an
insult to their dignity and position
as freedom women.
A young woman Of education, grad
uate from a girls school, commands
as much as 1900 to 1000 yen $3.50 to
81 ,000) as engagement money and
such sum is very desirable addi-
ton to the family fortune these days.
But these girls refuse to consider
themselves livestock and decline mar
riage without personal consent and
with a bridegroom of decent appear
ance and sufficient education.
Have No Choice
Most Formosan marriages are az
ranged on the basis of the engagement
money and the bride-to-be has little to
say about the matter.
There are young women who insist
that the trouble with engagement
money is that it is too high and de-
sirable suitors are often kept away be-
cause they cannot pay the price de-
manded. There is much in this aTgu-
ment which appeals to Formosan wo-
men, and certain number of the less
modern women are demanding that
engagement money be radically reduc-
ed to a point where matrimony will
be easier of accomplishment for them.
The Formosans are polygamists.
But the modern tendency is to remain
satisfied with only one wife. And it
is said that if engagement money does
not decrease soon the habit of plural
marriages will decrease too, because
very few men can afford to purchase
more than one wife at present high
prices.

Heart Problems

Dear Mrs. Thompson: Please ad-
wise how to reduce enlarged pores in
the face and stop them spreading?
T j.
The following lotion is recommend
ed for enlarged pores:
Boric acid, one dram; distilled witch
hazel, four ounces. Apply with a piece
OF Old linen or bit of absorbent cot
ton.
The face should be thoroughly
cleansed every night before retiring so
that secretions will not fill the pores
and cause them to enlarge. Very oft
en- powder is left on the face during
the night. The result is coarse skin
and enlarged pores.

Tuesday night sent to the Gov

cal condition is such that hard
manual labor would prove injuri-

told the Governor that Ingram

physical labor will seriously in

the Governor to instruct the
Richmond county authorities to
be lenient with him and not to

the Governor not to do this be-

FRAME AMENDMENT
To PROTECT WOMEN
IN POLITICAL FIGHT
Some Believe Proposed Law
Would Endanger Operation of
Laws Helping Working Women

Washington. Dec. 11.-Announce-
ment was made Sunday by the Ma
tional Women's party that an agree
ment had been reached on the form
of the proposed new amendment to the
constitution "to cover all political
civil and legal determinations against
women" The amendment as drafted
reads:
"No political. civil or legal disabili-
ties or inequalities on account of sex or
on account of marriage. unless apply
ing alike to both sexes, shall exist
within the United States
Legal authorities of national prom
inence have approved the amendment
and declared its constitutionality, said
the announcement.
Declaring that this blanket equal
rights amendment" would endanger
the existence, or at the very least
would throw into the courts for years
of litigation, state legislation now in
effect for protection of working women,
the National Women's Trade Union
League at meeting Sunday asked the
National Women's party to declare
whether it was against these laws.
The laws declared to be endangered
include the mothers pension act, sew
eral statutes prohibiting "sweatshop''
conditions and those prohibiting work
in factories Immediately before and
after the birth of child.

TURKS GAVE UP
JERUSALEN To
SLEEPY COOK
Inside Story of Capture
Told by British Major
Who Was With Troops
Mayor Handed Over
Keys to First Soldier
He Could Find, Claim.

New York, Dec lit was not Cen
eral Allenby, but British army cook
engaged in an egg hunting expedition
who wrested Jerusalem from the Turks
In 1917, or such, at least, was the in
side story" related Sunday night by
Major Vivian Gilbert, of London, In an
address at a Brooklyn Y. M. G. A.
Major Gilbert, who was member of
the expedition, said the incident, later
to become subject of much mortifica-
tion to the Moslem Inhabitants of the
holy city, came about as follows:
Jerusalem was evacuated by the
Turks on the night of December 8, 1917.
We discovered this the next morning
when stupid orderly, who had been to
small village in our possession for
eggs, missed the way. He had gone in
the opposite direction and returned to
report in great perplexity, that a cove,
surrounded by crowd had given him
some keys when he asked for eggs"
1t turned out that the ''cove" was
the mayor of Jerusalem, who, deserted
by his defending army, and thinking the
British to be descending on the city,
had Surrendered" by handing over the
keys to the city to the first man he
saw in British uniform.
AS it turned out, he continued, the
ceremony proved to have been good
practice for the mayor, as this dignitary
was forced to repeat the process three
times thereafter, the last to General
Allenby.
