Experiment Made.
Since normal women react quickly
to any improvement in their appear
ance, DIR. Stokes attempted to stimu-
late the mental patients in the same
manner--that is, by special attention
to their appearance in a new depart
ment properly equipped for the pur-
pose and in charge of trained oper-
ative assisted by other employees and
where feasible, intelligent patients,
who in their training for such posi-
tions. are also improved mentally. IN
the newly installed beauty shops the
more deteriorated woman patients are
given especial attention in the way Of
bobbed hair, Shampooing, facials, etc,
while in connection they are receiving
intensive habit training and occupa-
tional treatment in their wards.
The results have been so encour
aging that DIR. Stokes decided to take
steps to remove facial blemishes, acne,
disfguring hair and the like, while
chirodody also was added. This work
will dovetail with that of the various
institutional dressmakers to improve
the pattern and fit of the dresses
worn by the patients.

BLOOMINGTON. Ill, November 28
Senator Florence F'ifer Bohrer of
this city. the first woman to be elect
ed to the upper branch of the Illinois
Legislature, warmly indorses the new
policy OF installing beauty parloTs in
the hospitals for the insane in this
State, in the hope of improving the
mental conditions of the female pa
tients.
As chairman of the committee on
charitable institutions, it was the duty
OF Senator Bohrer to make periodical
inspection trips to the various hos
pitals for the mentally incompetent,
and she was impressed with, the new
idea of the department installed to
improve the personal appearance of
the patients. DR.. Stokes, managing
officer of the kankakee State Hospi-
tai, is given credit for originating the
idea. and it has proved SO successful
that 1t has been adopted at the asy-
lums at Elgin and also in Watertown.
DR.. Stokes argued that a woman s
appearance reflects her habits Of
mind, legitimate desire to attract
admiring attention. or at least avoid
unpleasant comment. Mental dis
turbance, he says, Is too often evi-
denced by carelessness of dress. even

ANTI.CHRISIIAN MOVE
 IS GROWING IN CHINA
Missionaries and Western Educators show Concern Over Trend
 In Affairs
By Tho Associated Press.

Picking, Feb, 2.-out of the gen. oral unrest h.. ailing in China ,,lere appears to be growing an anti Christian sentiment, which is caus- ing some anxiety among missionaries and western educators. The out standing evidences of this growth at present are a strike of students at the "Yale in China" high school and circulation by Shanghai news paper of bulletin denouncing Christianity and Christian mission aries and their work.
 The trouble at the Yale in China school, an institution supported in part by funds locally raised and in part by an appropriation from America, appears to have been due to opposition to inclusion of the Bible in their curriculum on the grounds that 1t was an arbitrary and unwarranted imposition of west ern belief. having no bearing upon 1 education.
 The Shanghai China press says 1t Is difficult to discover the reason for the anti-Christian movement, but that one exists there can be nc doubt. Some attribute it." says the press, Ito the nationalsm or pa triotism which is sweeping the land and others attribute it to bolshevism The truth probably is that both in- fuences are behind it."

ALASKAN MAIL ROUTES
Diphtheria Epidemic Spurs Govern ment in Plans to Establish Air Service to This Territory.

Washington. Feb. 2.-The out break of diphtheria at Nome and the efforts to rush antitoxin there by dog team or by airplane have spur red post office department officials in their plans for developing air mail routes in the territory.
 Authorization has been granted by congress effective July to establish air mail routes in Alaska provided the cost is not greater than by pres ent methods. Paul Henderson, sec ond assistant postmaster general, al- ready has made experiments between Fairbanks and McGrath, which have demonstrated the superiority of the airplane mail over other methods.
 It is considered likely by postal officials that the air mail service will be established in Alaska during the coming year and prove invaluable, especially in winter.

BIG PLUM THREATENED
Westchester County Sheriffs Job Would Be on Straight Salary Basis, if Incumbent Has His Way.

White Plains. Feb. 2.-Westches- ter countys fattest political plum the office of sheriff-was threatened today when it's incumbent, Sheriff Arthur S. Maudlin, asked the board of supervisors to put the job on a straight salary basis.
 The job now pays S10,000 a year, and fees, which bring the income to between $25,000 and s30,000 an nually. Maudlin's suggestion for a straight salary basis for the office did not suggest the sum to be fixed.
 Maudlin, whose term expires in December, 1926, would not be af- fected, as the proposed change would not go into effect until his successor took office. And no West chester county sheriff may succeed himself, according to the law.
