LAR GER SPHERE OPEN TO WOMEN
IN CHINA. ENJOYS WIFE SAYS
Politics and Business Now
Subjects of Interest to
Many of Sex.
Sciences and Professions
Also Attracting Attention,
Nine. WI Reports.

The clinging skirts of anti-feminism
are being rapidly discarded by the
women of China. Keeping pace with
the slowly changing customs of that
ancient country, which have also de-
creed that the feet of children shall no
longer be bound, Chinese women are
moving forward to places of increasing
responsibility in politics and business
in the war-torn lands of the sprawling
giant Of the Orient. Nine. Chao-Chu
WI, wife of DR.. Chao-Chu WI, special
envoy to the United States for the
Nationalist government of China, ana
one of the outstanding women of her
country, who is in Washington. says
that not only are Chinese women
vitally interested in the several political
movements in China, but are occupying
political positions of Importance, with
authority equivalent to that OF men.
Rapid Progress Made.
In banking, finance, politics and busi-
ness Chinese women have made as
toniShing strides in the last few years,
Nine. WI declares. She classified the
chronology of the rise of the Chinese
woman from her traditional place OF
social banishment in three separate
steps. First" she says. "the Chinese
woman for many generations was the
traditional flower She remained in
the home, away from public affairs and
was not supposed to occupy herself with
political matters. Second, was the
stage of transition, when she still re-
manned in the home, but voiced her
opinions and offered her own views to
matters pertaining to affairs of govern
ment. The third and last step was
when the Chinese woman emerged
from her place of retirement and took
an active interest in political issues.
She has proved of great value in that
sphere"
Nine WI contends that the entrance
of the Chinese woman into public life
has not reacted unfavorably to her
home, and that she attends to her home
duties in addition to the new ones she
has assumed in the conduct of the
nations business. Several we'll known
banks in Peking and Shanghai are very

Carnival Attracts
Crooks And Police :
Watch Carefully

With a carnival playing in Railroad
addition police are more than usually
active at the present time in gath
e1ingp up suspicious characters and
watching for robberies. A house at
626 Seventeenth street was reported
entered and quantity OF women's
clothing taken last evening.
Police are working in this case on
a theory that member of the
family may have committed the act
because of a disagreement. The
officers have learned by experience
that thieves and various sorts of law
breakers follow carnivals, often
through no fault of the carnival
companies themselves.
Often the managers of a carnival
company will ask officers 20 assist
them in keeping their grounds pa
trolled but the travelling crook knows
that, in the crowds, he finds his
chances and in the welter of strange
faces he is able to escape, so he
sticks close to the travelling show
if he can.

.CONSUL'S BOOKS
SHOW NUMBERS
OF IMMIGRANTS

The records in the offices of the
vice consul in Aqua Prieta show
that from July 1. 1927, to Jan. 81,
1928. a total of 32,162 Mexican
citizens entered tho United iStates
through all ports This is period
of seven months.
Consular officers report that the
largest numbers ujually enter dur
ing the spring and early summer,
so that the figures above do not
necessarily represent a period OF un-
usually heavy immigration. In dis
cussing the results Of the quota law,
if it were pa sed for Mexicans, Vice
Consul Jones said that II would
make for permanency among the
Mexican population.
Jones pointed out that under the
present system, the immigrant from
Mexico has merely to pay his $40
for his visas and proceed with the
regular routine formula to enter
the United States. He can return
to his own country at any time and
re-enter the United States through
the same formalities.
If a quota law were put into
force, the Mexican who came to this
country would be numbered and
marked off and selected and if he
went back to Mexico he would have
to wait for long time to get a
place in the lists OF re-entries. This,
Jones points out, would have ten
dency to make Mexicans living in
the United States remain steadily
instead of travelling back and forth
as many do now
