WOULD PREVENT
 GERMAN GOODS COMPETITION

LONDON, Jan. 3.-A plan to pre- vent German goods that are handed over as part of the separations pay ment from competing with British products and affecting the employ ment situation has been advanced by Sir Henry Strakosch, chairman of the financial committee of the League of Nations. ....
 German goods must be stored away so as to be economically use- full" Strakosch said. "The goods will improve, and cheaper methods of transportation should follow. There should be erected number of great central electric power stations in the immediate neighborhood of some of the largest coal fieds. The electrifi- cation of some of the busiest rail- roads and improvement of equipment at the harbors would help. @
 Germany should be called upon not only to deliver the machinery necessary to carry through such a scheme, but also the plants required for production of such machinery as she delivers.
 "Consummation of such plan would involve expenditures only in respect to labor and the provision of subsidiary and machinery.
 q would consider it economically sound if that part of the public rev. enue that would otherwise be devot- ed to debt reduction were used for the purpose I have just indicated.
 "The cheapening of production and the greater productivity and the greater power of competition assures the Exchequer increased revenues. and these should enable the national debt to be reduced more rapidly
 "In contracting the loans necessary to meet the vast war expenditure our future production has been pledged
 "We shall obviously be in better position to redeem that pledge if the country is equipped to produce more, and to produce more cheaply.
 Moreover, by eliminating the com petition of German reparation goods not only is the possibility of unem- ploynent materially reduced, but en- ployment is created in connection with the capital works in question.
 "The plan outlined should also cover the dominions and certain of the colonies, the object being to cheapen production all over the British Empire and to make it as far as possible self-supporting."

PAPER MULCH TO AID
 PINEAPPLE GROWTH

HONOLULU, Jan. 3.-A special paper manufactured from bagasse, or cane pulp, from which sugar has been extracted, is now being experimented with by the pineapple growers of Hawaii, with results which indicate that it's use as mulch on the pineapple fields will not only prevent weed growth, thereby reducing labor costs, but will increase by about three tons to the acre the production of pineapples.
 The mulching process, which was invented by c. F. Eckart, former manager of Olaa plantation, on Ha- waii, and on which patents are held, has been used very successfully on the cane fields. The paper mulch is applied in rows before planting, and in the case of pineapples the crowns are planted in holes punched through the layer of paper. The plant is thus free to grow, but weeds cannot readily come up through the mulch, and surface evaporation from the ground is also checked, thus preventing excessive drying or bak- ing of the surface

EDUCATED WOMEN FIGHTING FOR THEIR FREEDOM FROM ANCESTRAL TRADITION; DE- HANDING EQUAL RIGHTS WITH MEN
NINE DEMANDS SUBMITTED
Women's Clubs Springing Up Like Mushrooms in Cities Throughout Ancient Empire; Adopting Pro-
 gressive Western Ideas .n...

SHANGHAI, China, Jan. 3.-suf- fragists in China?
 In contrast to the modern Chinese flappers, with their dancing steps, bobbed hair and cigarettes, are the educated young women, many re- turned students, who are fighting for the freedom of the women of China Realizing that, while comparative ly small group of Chinese girls have come in touch with western civiliza- tion, the lives of thousands and thousands of women in the interior go on day by day as did the lives of their grandmothers, the China Ma tional Women's Federation is launch ing nationwide fight for the free dom of all classes of Chinese Wo- men.
 The demands of the Federation which are being published in Chinese newspapers throughout China, are as follows:
 1. As men and women intellectual ly are equals and as women, as we'll tion to serve society, no educational opportunity should be denied to wom- en, and for the sake of convenience and economy co-education should be adopted.
 2. With a view to achieving com- plete domestic freedom. the Fedora tion must help free the Chinese wom- on from the yoke of their father-in- law or mother-in in-law.
 3. Chinese women should demand the rights of enfranchisement and participation in practical politics.
 4. Prior to the abrogation of the private ownership of properties wom- en should be entitled to equal rights of inheritance and succession as en- joyed by men.
 5. Women should be free to choose any calling or profession.
 6. Women laborers must be pro- tected.
 7. Women claim the right to par ticipate in all organized movements conducted by men.
 8. Women claim the right to aid in combating imperialism of the ag- sgresive countries.
 g. Chinese women desire to co-op- crate with their sisters in western lands to all these ends.
 The demands of the Federation, are being discussed by the women in the Chinese women's clubs, the Returned Student Clubs, Woman's Suffrage League of Shanghai, the Girl Student Union and at the meeting conducted by the Y. M. c. A. and the mission schools and churches.
 The idea of women's clubs import ed from America, appeals to the Chi neses women, and under the leader ship of influential women in the vari- ous communities are springing up like mushrooms throughout China. And it is through the little groups of wo- men meeting once or twice month that many closed doors are being opened and the ideals of progress are entering.
