How Chinese Women Ars Working.
Chinese women are rapidly assum-
Ing more prominent position IN the
economic and business AFFAIRS Of that
country. Miss Zung Wei Tsung. who
went to London to represent Chinese
women at the International Working
women's congress. tells the London
Express that Chinese women In Shang-
hal are not unlike English women In
many things.
They shop, they drink tea In restau-
rants. and they go to the movies with
their husbands and children. 1t Is only
In a few old conservative families that
the women are kept in the seclusion Of
their homes.
'Few Chinese women work, and you
do not see them In banks and stores"
continues Miss Tsung. "But this state
OF things is changing. Next year there
will be a new telephone company that
will employ girls as operators. Many
are studying shorthand and typewrit-
ing; railway companies employ girls
now as ticket agents, and recently a
number Of women entered for a civil
service examination"

state, postal and the. farm-to-market
roads and to appropriate adequate
funds for q definite period SO that
the states may plan equitable co.
operation.
The conference urged that every
possible effort be made toSpromote
safety Of life and limb on the high
ways and that as economy of trans
portation depended on well kept
highways that all possible safe
guards should be placed about the
maintenance Of the roads.
Realizing that traffic conditions
are rapidly changing and that road
building is now an important en-
cheering and business undertaking,
the conference urged that all par
tisan or political considerations in
such work must be eliminated.

The duke Of Westminster recently

French actress Alice Delysia, with as

leigh. when he saved Queen Ellie

The actress was motoring from Cau-
terets and sought to cross the Spanish
frontier at Hendaye, but ran up
against the immovable Spanish Gus
toms men. who demanded $4,000
francs. a. the Spanish laws against
automobile smuggling provide for a
money deposit equal to the value Of
the car.

MAKE HOME HEALTH RESORT
Why Il Should Not Be Necessary to
Travel to Secure Needed "chanos
a. Climate"

'The search for a better climate
says the Journal Of the American Medi-
cal Association. Frequently means, as
every clinician well realizes, q change
In something more than meteorological
environment. II II not the air for the
lungs. the temperature for the skin. the
altitude for the circulation, or such In
cidents that alone are sought Social,
mental and physical changes occasion
their own beneficial or baneful trans
formations. Many Of the advantages
which rest, recreation. diversion. out
door life relaxation. altered diet. ex-
pert medical attendance and proper hy-
giene secure under the guise Of .
change of climate frequently could be
obtained at home with less real hard
ship to the patient.
sFreQuently the home will become a
health resort II It can be made pleas
ure resort. In the case Of specific dis
eases such as tuberculosis. we grad
ually have learned the importance Of
teaching the patients how to live at
home. The burden Of recovery no
longer IL shifted solely to the resort
In a far away place. Have we not
neglected all too often the possibility
Of taking advantage Of local climates
Perhaps II will become more popular
In the future to seek health at home.
Then the choice Of climate will no
longer require a nerve-racking de-
cision.'"

BETTER ROADS To
. BENEFIT FARMERS
REMEDY FOR MARKETING CON-
DlTIONS POINTED OUT BY
FARMER CONFERENCE

Coordination of the major forms
of transportation SO that railways,
waterways and highways may each
carry the kind of traffic that it can
most economically, expeditiously
and efficiently serve, was urged by
President Harding's agricultural
conference held recently in WASH
ington.
Country highways, declared the
agriculturists, are the farmers first
and principal means Of marketing
their products. They are, it was
declared, the. arteries Of the eco
monte and social system of the coun-
try and on their condition rests the
amount of transportation charge
that must be added to the gross cost
of farm products.
The attention of the country was
called to the heavy losses now sus-
tanned by farmers on account of
bad roads and to the economic and
social benefits which accrue to them
and to the people of the whole coun-
try as result Of general road i'm
provement. The conference de-
clared that farmers ought to be
able to haul to market twice as
much and twice as often as they
have been able to do in the past and
that If the farmer is to help influ-
ence the price Of his products by
not dumping them on the market
for fear Of unreasonable weather,
he must control the condition of the
roads to his markets.
TO bring about the general i'm
provement of highways and to facil-
itate the farmers marketing prob
lem, the conference went on record
as being in favor Of highway re-
search by federal, state and college
authorities to the end that traffic
on highways may be regulated ac-
cording to the facts developed.
Congress was urged to continue
federal aid for the building of inter-

TAPESTRY FORESTS" OF
HAWAII WE'RE STARTED.
The Hawaiian islands were
thrown up ages ago from enor-
nous volcanic chimneys that
opened in the Pacific floor. Even
to this day the eruption has not
ceased. The mountains Of the
archipelago. with the passage Of
q great length Of time, have been
weirdly worn By terrible rains,
30 as to present to the view fan
tastically carved canyons and
gorges. flanked In many places
by almost vertical cliffs.
Upon the face Of these cliffs
hourishes q dense growth Of
tapestry forest" as 1t has been
called. composed Of many species
Of trees strangely dwarfed In
order to enable them to cling,
supplemented by q shrubbery
underground and woven into a
continuous mantle. The soil on
the cliff faces Is necessarily thin,
and, to save themselves from be-
Ing blown of, the trees develop
an intricate system Of anchoring
and bracing roots, forming in
many a steep place natural lad
ders up which the natives climb.
The tapestry growth Ii satu-
rated with water like sponge,
the rainfall In the parts Of the
islands where 1t flourishes being
extraordinary. To the eye, with
Its variations Of gray-green, yell

green and scores Of indefinable
shades, It has q rich, mottled.

NEVADA FIRE Loss
/. REACHES BIG sum
FIRE UNDERWRITERS PRESENT
FIGURES SHOWING COST
OF CARELESSNESS

During the five years ending with
1920, fire losses in Nevada caused
the destruction of property valued
at the astonishing total Of $1,377,-
169, according to figures made pub
lie by the national board Of fire un-
derwriters, which compiled the sta
tistics from the actuarial bureaus
records. These figures reveal, in a
startling way, the price being paid
by the state for public ignorance
and carelessness in handling fire
hazards.
The causes are classified under
three headings, of which IL are des-
ignated as strictly preventable"
with a total of $576,112 or Al per
cent of the whole; nine are desig-
mated as partly preventable," the
aggregate being $651,194, or 47.3
! per cent Of the complete loss, and
in addition there are those listed in
the unknown" column which total
$149,863 or 1913 per cent. The
unknown" losses may be considered
as largely preventable since, if de-
termined, they would have been dis
tribated among the other causes.
In Analysing the figures, it is
found that while exposure" which
means the effect Of communicated
fires, was responsible for the heavi-
est loss, $294,322. the principal spe-
cific cause of fire, was matches
smoking" with q toll of $191,212.
This shows the extent Of the burden
imposed upon Nevada by the care
less users Of matches and smoking
materials. Next in Importance, as
causes Of fire, were petroleum and
its products," $179,1s9; then stoves,
furnaces, boilers and their pipes,
$133,179, and then "sparks from
combustion" $117,729.
The losses during the five years
were as follows:
Strictly preventable causes:
Defective chimneys and fues,
$29, 1872; fireworks, firecrackers, etc.,
$23; gas, natural and artificial,
$2,261; hot ashes and Goals, open
fires. $1,000; ignition Of hot
greases, oil, tar, wax, asphalt, etc.,
$i2,163; understanding, $751;
PIP; open lights, $2,o7s; petroleum
and its products. s179,199; rubbish
and litter, $849; sparks on roofs,
$12,021; steam and hot water pipes,
$153; stoves, furnaces, boilers and
their pipes, $l33,179. Total, $685.
112.
Partly preventable causes:
Electricity, $96,s88; explosions,
$40,178; exposure (including con-
flagrations), s294,322; sparks from
machinery, $2,7s7; incendiarism,
s45, 101; lightning, $13.547; miscel-
laneous known causes, $26.849;
sparks from combustion, $117,729;
spontaneous combustion, $13,793.
Total, $661,194.
Unknown causes probably large
ly preventable), $149,863.
Nevada stands forty-ninth among
all Of the states in the amount Of
loss by fire and the figures quoted
should be increased by about % per
cant tn covor losses not reported to
the national board of fire. under
writer's.
The states losses during the five
years from 1915 to 1920 inclusive
averaged $275,433 per annun. II
the total of $1,377,169 could have
been used instead Of wasted it

$4,000 apiece Sufficient to furnish
homes for 1876 people, or more
