Chinese Women
 Favor Co-Eds
Want Sexes Educated In
 Same Schools.

Shanghai, Sept. 2s RcChina's W omanhood has come out in favor of co-education. Rankings national educational conference opposes it.
 The Amalgamated Committee for the Upholding of Women's Rights demands that in education. aS in all other things, there should be a standard of equality between men and women. An announcement of the women's committee says:
 Since the May movement there has been a general demand for equality between men and women, this being subject which has been approved by all the people. At a meeting of the national educational conference. q resolution was passed opposing co-education in colleges and middle schools and recom- mending the stoppage of the co-edu- cational movement in China in all institutions in which the system has been introduced. News of this vas received by the people with considerable surprise and suspicion. Our women folk have been thrown into a state of alarm and anxiety.
 "The purpose of introduction of cs-educatien in China is to afford better educational facilities te women and to place their standard of education on . higher basis. The system has been in vogue several years and young men and young women have lived on terms of equality.
 Although it has been difficult to avoid certain evils. the results at- tained, on the whole. have been most satisfactory. The system therefore should not be ended now
 "In certain provinces boys and girls have been taught in separate schools. This should not be the case. The girls should have il canoe of being educated just as much as the boys. The girls are quite as capable as the boys and ttey can well look after them- selves''
 Telegrams have been sent throughout the country appealing for sympathy in this movement of lighting for | common principle"

 Ono of the conspicuous dcvelop- ments in child education in recer: years is the attempt 10 take advan- ;lce of tn" earliest years for the formation e1 good health habits.
 The nursery school takes children from 5 months CT two years up- ward to kindergarten age. Such schools are equipped with small tables and chairs, especially cen struct.d miniature toilets. wash stands and low furniture.
 In these schools the chil is trained early as 10 the importance of eating fresh vegetables. st that by the time ii develops rea.3ning power it eats it's spinach and its other vegetables as q mater of course.
 In the same way fac necessity for cle1n hands. good manners and low voices is empnas izod on the group.
 The children are taught about the use of fresh air even for maps and :, ork periods. Good habits as to regular activity CT the intestine are taught in such schools.
 Shyness is overcome through the early social contacts.
 Ilorc and more the },sycholog ists are becoming convinced flat the n ental pattern of the child is "s- tallishcd early in life.
 The relationships. the understand ings. the rtEUonGcs 10 emotions de vclopcd during the first three years may mean ali of tho difference be- tween happiness and unAapp,noss in the grade school and even III th. future business life.

Washington. Sept. 2S M-Nst all the society debutantes scheduled for coming ont parties this fall and winter will actually get to par tictpate in those joyous occasisns of lights, music and flowers.
 Every year, there are sighs from certain number of the service" debs. as those girls belonging to army and navy circles are termed, because their fathers are suddenly ordered to some far distant post. All arrangements for the long-looked for debutante ball or tea have c te cancelled.
 Sometimes the decorations gro ready and the coming out gowns laid away in tissue paper when the terse order comes. Then there is wild furry recalling invitations and cancelling orders for flowers and refreshments and a service- deb to be is uncerem onieusly whisked away with red eyes and reproachful looks. Quite . number Of such debS are to make their bow to capital society this winter.

lany Undesvond's Suddenly Ac-
 QNlr6d F0sHaol Attitude Toward
 Lu1iaa Leaves Her Aevilicrcd.
 Involuntartly l glanced at Lillian as Mother Graham asked her to ac- company her on the after-luncheon drive in the new car. found her eyes fixed on her husband with an oddly hesitant and puzzled look which increased my bewilderment at her reaction to Harry's sudden for nal courtesy of manner toward her It was plain she was waiting for his comment before giving an answer and this hesitancy was so at variance with her usual hearty on-hand de- cisions that my subconscious side glance became frank and asionish- ed stare.
 I am sure Mr Underwood did not see the expression on her face, for he gave her only the most perfume tory glance as he said:
 Do come with us, Lillian. I'm sure it would do you good"
 His voice and manner were still those which he might have used to Princess Oiina's mother were that august parsonage guest at the farmhouse. and again l saw hurt, bewildered look shadow Lillian's eyes. But there was no trace of any emotion in her reply which she made to Mother Graham, including her husband casually.
 ''It's 50 kind of you, Mother Gra- ham," she said then interpolated thank you. Harry as pertnnctory as his own speech. But l don't be- lieve I'm quite up to driving this afternoon"
 II know you're not" Katherine told her. If you had asked your faithful old nurse, ,"-she pointed to herself with a suited cinema gesture -"she would have told you that you could not go. You'd be very apt to bring that headache back. No. no. m'dear. The veranda fer yours all day"
 II shall be glad to follow that pre- scription." Lillian said. I'm still sleepy and tired"
 Why don't you have nap out here after luncheon. mother dear? ?'

Editors Note: This is the second of d series of articles written for The Herald and NEA Service by Al- fred Cheney Johnston, one of the foremost artists among American photographers. Each day he dis cusses a type of feminine beauty, explains how it best can be en- hanced by makeup and coiffure. tells which color schemes and styles of gowns he considers most effec- tive.
 By Alfrl cheney Johnston
 True beauty knows no tape-meas- ured size nor standardized coloring. It is the ensemble that counts and any girl who has been blessed with fairly regular features can make the most of them by applying certain fundamental rules of makeup anl dressing.
 Although I have made portraits of many great men and women, have photographed still life and H. lustrated stories. most of my work in camera studies has been with beautiful women. Ziegfeld show. girls, movie and stage stars. society girls. and professional models have brought probably twenty distinct types of beauty before my camera. Yet, if l were asked to name the one that ] considered loyelier than all the rest, should have to &C., knowledge defeat.
 My favorite model is Naomi Johnson, now featured in Broad- way production. Miss Johnson is my "Greuze' model because she combines many of the lovely fea- lures to be found in the master pieces of the French painter. A delicate. lovely head set upon . young form that combines fem- ininity and athletic strength. Wavy, chestnut brown hair. level brows and soft grey eyes. Breadth between the eyes, a straight nose with sensitive nostrils and well defined lips that curve at the cor ners, suggest sense of humor and intelligence. Her skin is creamy in coloring and she is of medium height.
 Girls of Miss Johnson's type end coloring should use a medium rachel powder with just dash of rose in it's foundation. A soft, raspberry shade of rouge, placed a little lower on the cheekbones and worked carefully to the cen- ter of both cheeks, is an admirable way to bring out the natural con- tour. A medium lipstick. resem- bling the natural color of healthy lips should be used. Miss John- son wears her coiffure low. over the ears. and swirled about the nape of her neck.
 know of no type that has a greater range of colors 10 choose from than the Greuze beauty. Pos sibly every shade, with the excep- ton of olive greens. harsh purples and mustard yeliows look we'll on her. French and steel blues, golden brown, grey and beige are exceedingly becoming for daytime wear. And she should adopt soft chiffons and tulle for evening wear.

He was building little island there opened into what would by and by be very god-sized room. He took great pains with this tunnel. When it was completed to suit him he went on heaping up rushes and sticks and other material on that little island. It kept settling. Then Jerry would cut out from under heath so as to make a little room where the tunnel entered.
 ''Yes," said Jerry, this is going to be the finest house ] ever have built"

informal discussion among the mem
hers as to the Associations future
program and policy. Association of
ficials believe it to be vitally essential
that the membership take a direct and
active part in determining the future
work of the Association.
Keen interest is centered about the
speakers program which will feature
the Associations meeting. While men
Of national and international promin-
ence have appeared at the previous
annual meetings, it is felt at Asso-
citation headquarters that the three
visiting speakers to feature this meet
ing hold very direct personal inter
est in Peninsula problems and the
Associations activities.
Mr.. Lloyd S. Tenny, Chief of the U.
is. Bureau of Agricultural Economics
who is known thruout the country as
one of the foremost authorities on ag-
ricultural subjects is one of the speak
ers who will be heard.
Mr. Tenny's address will outline i'm
portant features of the work of the
Bureau of Agricultural Economics,
which has grown to be one of the
most important and far-reaching in
the Department of Agriculture.
He will discuss important develop
ments in better marketing methods
thruout the country including espec-
tally the establishment and use of bet
ter standards for both grade and pack
of agricultural and horticultural pro-
ducts, and the rapid expansion of
market news reporting; standardiza-
ton as the very cornerstone of sue
cessful marketing, and the market
news service as it allows the producer
and shipper to market their products
with eyes open, rather than to shoot
in the dark
Mr.. Tenny will emphasize the inn
portance Of orderly production as the
first step in orderly marketing. With
this in view, the Bureau Of Agricul-

trict. In order that we may have in
formation as to about where the child
lives, in case he lives in a closed dis
trict, should be given as the resident
district, instead of that which the
closed district is consolidated. If this
department were to undertake to veri-
fly all distances given on the applica-
tions, the expense involved would abb
sorb large portion of the appropria-
tion intended to be used for the trans
portation of school children. An al
lowance to child is based upon his
school grade and the distance of his
home to the nearest school of the
proper grade. The distance by the
nearest travelled road is that which
should appear on the application. In
certifying to applications, therefore,
you are requested to satisfy yourself
that the right school is named and
that the distance given is correct. The
department must rely upon your GER
tifcate for this information

amount of time and effort to system
attic analysis of market demands as
basis for production programs.
Mr.. Tenny will explain that the
work Of the Federal Bureau of Agri-
cultural Economics is designed, in
practically all Of its phases, to dis
cover and formulate facts and prin-
ciples which, if properly utilized by
the individual producer, will enable
him to shape his program so as to
meet foreseen conditions. Producers
who keep in touch with the work of
the Bureau will find much of the haz-
ard removed from agriculture as
business.
Mr. Tenny is a native of Hilton, n.

the University of Rochester in 1902;
took graduate and postgraduate work

operatively by the State of New York
and the Z. S. Dept. of Agriculture. He
