KEEP AWAY FROM THE ORIENT
Ex.Servce Men Are Warned That
Jobs Are Scarce and Only Natives
Are Employed.

Whipple S. Hall, who travelled TO-
600 miles to represent the department
of the Philippines at the national con-
vention of the American Legion,
warns all ex-service men to keep away
from the Orient unless they have
enough money to bring them back
home again.
Discharged veterans of the Siberian
front many accompanied by Russian
wives as destitute as their husbands,
worked their way to the islands as
merchant sailors and are now in the
hands Of the Legion and the auxiliary.
Many of them, pennilc3s, worked their
way down through China In the belief
that the Orient blossomed with good
jobs. Virtually all manual labor and
small clerical work Is performed by
patives.

who can believe that these young wom-

for motherhood Is hopeless.
Some time ago an article was
printed In The New York Herald
about the improved physical condi-
ton Of young women. 1t was wide
spread search that led to every part
Of the country and especially to all
the women's colleges. In sum. the
facts collected showed that girls Of

than ever before, and in passing 1t
was also learned that this larger"

and increased strength did not take
from them the instinct of mating and
motherhood. Unless these signs fail,
the generation TO appear will have bet

In connection with the question of
athletics for Women the corset
controversy has again broken out. 1t
naturally would, for the girls of today
are leaving off corsets and the per
feet &c. of yesterday is today in the
discard. Says DR.. ID. NJ. Dunn, head
of the women's department of the
Life Extension Institute, In the Fore
cast:
"These winds of contention have
swept everyone into three groups: |
Those who stand for the total aban-
donment of the corset; those who ac-
cept it unthinkingly as mere adjunct
to dress; those who, believing 1t can
be reconciled with laws of health,
take 1t seriously enough to select 1t
with the greatest care.
More than year ago the Interna-
tional Conference of Women Physi-
clans assumed the first position,
adopting the principle of No Corsets
for Women.
ITO the older generation this ques-
ton has almost moral significance.
They themselves were brought up In
