Where did the mothers get the funds
to provide all these things?
Just as women have always raised
funds for their churches. Father
might pay the minister's salary. but
mother cooked a ham and old 1t
piecemeal in the church parlors or
in an empty store building, and
thus made the money to pay the
choir and buy a new church carpet.
When mothers found their chill
dren were not being properly cared
for in the school room they used
the same method of raising funds
to supply their needs.
Survey of Schools.
The District Congress OF Mothers
Clubs and the Parent-Teacher AS
sociations made a physical survey
Of the schools two years ago. II
gave the citizens of Washington
their first opportunity to see the
inside of their school buildings. 1t
was a piece of work worthy of an
expert, and ever since these mothers
have been trying to remedy the
things that they have the power
to remedy. They have done more

any other agency, going before the
District Committee to urge the pur-
chase of new grounds and promis-
ing to raise the funds for equip
ment If such grounds were pur-
chased.
Just what these clubs have &C.
complished in the different districts
will be the subject of discussion to-
morrow. The Parent-Teacher As
sociations have not had smooth
sailing. They have sometimes en-
countered the opposition of the
conservative souls who have not
yet awakened to the fact that the
great problem in modern education
is hitching the school to the home.
The Mothers Club has proven the
connecting link and wherever good
educational work is being done
teachers and parents are found
working side by side in hearty CO.
operation. Sometimes it may seem
a difficult task to hitch the school
to the home, but the mothers of
the country are proving themselves
equal to the emergency. For it
must be remembered that where
the child and its welfare is con-
cerned the female of the species
is more deadly than the male"

JAP MISSION IS
TO VISIT AMERICA
Predict Several Gestures to
to Cement Friendship.

WASHINGTON. April s.-Japan is
about to make a number Of important
gestures" to strengthen the relations
between that country and the United
States, it was learned today.
The Mikado government is understood
to be making these important moves TO
avoid the least possibility of a break in
the present frieidly relations between the
United States and Japan and to EN-
phasize the absolute Importance to the
peace of the world Of maintaining the
strongest friendship between the two
countries
One Of the important steps to be taken
soon by Japan to strengthen American
Japanese relations will be the sending of
mission of members Of the japanese
diet to the United States
The Japanese congressional party will
leave early next month
There may be some significant pro-
nouncement on the subject of American
Japanese relations while the mission is
here.
There are probably no two countries
in which "jingoism" is more prevalent
than in the United States and Japan
1t is believed in responsible quarters
here. Race antagonism also Is said to
have been famed during the last several
months to a dangerous point by these
two issues existing between the United
States and Japan
Japan's protest against the anti
alien land laws Of California.
Americas protest against the inclusion
of the island OF zap under a japanese
mandate.

MINERS VIEW
u. S. POINT IN
BRITISH CRISIS
Britain Wants Thing for
Which Americans Were In
dicted, Is Assertion.

The British government is attempting
to have British miners do the thing for
which more than 100 members of the
United Mine Workers Of America were
indicted by the Federal grand jury in
trying to induce the miners to put the
bumpers back at work so the mines can
be saved according to a statement is
sued at the headquarters of the Z. NJ.
w. of A. here today.
The statement follows:
There is one very interesting feature
of the strike of coal miners in Great
Britain that is well worth thinking
about in this country. The British gov
ernment is endeavoring to persuade the
British miners to do one Of the very
things that members of the United Mine
Workers of America have been indicted
by the Federal grand jury at Indian
apolis for doing In this country. When
the British miners went on strike a few
days ago they called out also the pump
ers who man and operate the pumps
that keep water out of the mines and
save these properties from ruin. This
action has caused a great uproar in Great
Britain. The miners have been severely
censured for calling out the bumpers.
Reports say that water is filing up
many mines. and that the mines may be
| destroyed or rendered useless thereby.
Dispatches from London today say that
the government is making every possible
effort to induce the miners to put the
bumpers back at work so the mines may
| be saved.
Glow different this Is from the way
the miners In America are treated. The
indictment returned by the Federal
grand jury at indianapolis against coal
operators and members and officers or
the United Mine Workers says that
when the miners went on strike in 1919
they left bumpers and others at work
in the mines to protect the properties,
and charges that this was a criminal act
under the Sherman antitrust law. Tne
indictment charges that this was a part
of the alleged conspiracy entered into
by operators and miners. In other
words If the charge in the Indictment
Is valid 1t is a crime for coal miners
to protect mining property and prevent
its being ruined while they are on strike
for the settlement OF wage dispute.
What would have been the charge in
the indictment II the miners had called
out the bumpers and engineers ana
allowed the mines to go to ruin
Certainly 1t IL strange doctrine that
men become criminals when they pro
tect property from damage"
