Election Encourages
 Japanese Suffragists

Tokyo, April IT. R@Japanese general election, the first under the new universal suffrage law in which more than 10,O00,0oO new voters were eligible to vote, has en- couraged the women of the country in their fight for political equality.
 Some of the leaders express the belief that they will be given the vote in the near future. Others ar not 50 optimistic, but they be- lievc that the influence on the poli- tical parties will be greater than ever before.
 Dr. Yayo Yoahioka. head of the Tokyo Women's federation, be- lieves that administrations directed by men alone occupy themselves too much with idealistic and aca- demic discussions and touches the practical problems of the commun- ity to an inadequate degree.
 ''As long as the affairs of our country are administered by men. real prosperity can never be realized" she says. We women hope to do our share when the time comes to lead our country to the right road that leads to happi- ness"

Your Health How To Keep It. Causes of Illness
BY DIR. NORRIS FIsHBEIN
 Editor Journal Of the American Medical Association and of Hygeia, the Health Magazine

The time has passed when big muscles were taken as synonymous
 of strength. It is realized that CO.,
 ordination of muscular activity and proper control of muscles is just as important.
 In the development of the
 muscles certain ones are associated with the fundamental activities of
 life, such as sitting, picking up ob- jects and self-protection. These arc likely to develop first. Later on other muscles are call ed into effect for such activities as
 are involved in dancing. heavy lift ing, throwing and playing. Measuring Machines Machines have been developed for
 measuring the powers of the
 muscles to perform various activities. and comparative studies have been
 made of children in various groups.
 as we'll as Of adults in many indus tries. These studies indicate that the
 strength of children bears fixed re-
 lationship to their body weight. Men with easy jobs make better
 strength records at the end of day than at the beginning. In heavy l work all workers show poorer
 strength records at the end of the , day than at the beginning. ] In women the muscles of the
 chest are less well developed than
 in men.
 1 Rack Muscles
 In women certain back muscles
 are better developed than those of
 men. and doctors suggest that men
 would exercise these muscles better
 if their shirts buttoned in back in-
 stead of in front.
 Women regularly exercise certain i muscles in the dressing process that
 are not called into play at all by the average man.
 Since the disappearance of the l long skirt measurements indicate
 greater strength in the leg muscle, of women than used to be the case.

Here is new kind of puzzle. It's caled a Traveletter Puzzle and re- quires one to journey from square to square until he has completed the entire trip. At the end he will have spelled out. letter by letter. names, slogans or quotations.
 The idea is to begin the journey at the letter marked start" in this case e." and from this move in one continuous line up. down. to left or right, but never diagonally. and only one square at a time. in such q way that the names or quotations are spelled out in order until the letter marked Finish" is reached.
 To get you started. for iestance. you would move from C down to A, down again to L, down further to V and down again to I. Then to the right to N. which would give you the first name of well known person. After that the going is a little more difficult. but if you take the right turns. you'll come out in

Skins of Snakes Used in asl1ions
Latest Adyices From Paris
 Describe Innovations.

Paris Reptile skin shoes are having a spring revival and custom CTS in the shops are talking learnedly about boas. pythons, water snakes and lizards, plain and doctored.
 As prices for the rarer snake skins mount it behooyes the woman who is buying them to recognize. the snake she wants when she meets it. Lizard, natural water snake and ka- rung are fashionable but expensive skins which are offered in limitations that deceive many an unwary pur- chaser.
 Dyed reptile appears now in rich shades of red, blue and green as we'll as black and natural tones. Boa skin shoes arc shown in bright reds dull deep blues, and many shades of green. Mahogany and egg plant are ether shades seen in the shops that make shoes 10 order.
 Biege, most shoe dealers say, will be the outstanding color for summer shoes.
 Elaborate shoes are out of fash J daytime wear Elaborate embroidery and jeweled decoration has almost disappeared from the windows of the smartest shoe makers.
 String Belt Styles
 The string belt and elastic be}l of extremely nurrow width are seen everywhere in Paris. They even ap- ,,>1- ct one house.
 The belt. which is a single string of strass, is used q great deal by a leading dressmaker whose ideas are widely followed in America. She clasps the string of s1rass around dWsses of satin, georgettc and chif- ion at 9 point just atop the hip bone. fastening it like q necklace without q buckle.
 Summer Erlninc Favored Fur
 Summer erlnine and white ermine dyed the color of the summer fur top Paris list of popular furs for spring coats.
 Summer ermine with fox collars and cuffs makes many of the spring and summer evening wraps although winter crnaine dyed in delicate tones Of beige also is widely shown. Dyed fox on capes of pastel shaded chif- ion of many thicknesses is worn on the Riviera.
 Evening Style Uses Ostrich
 Glycerined and uncurled ostrich plumes give promise of a return to general favor.
 Madame Jenny shows one evening dress of tulle. with a skirt almost entirely covered with long strings of uncurled ostrich quite prominently on evening wraps and gowns.

 either my longing for her or my suf-
 ierlng at losing her. It was several years before was able to think ] calmly of her. and do not like even 1 now to think of her wedding day i when I. as an officer of her guard saw her married to my cousin. the king, who did not know of his kins- i mans existence, and would not have spent two thoughts upon the matter ii he had been informed of it.
 Do you wonder" the vibrant voice went on. that ] swore 2 mighty oath to myself that day, vow ing that sometime, somehow, l would

 "My,life, my career. since I came to this country always have been the property of the public. although I have tried to keep my home life as private as possible. Five years after I came here, l met the gentle, loving girl who later became my wife and Noefs mother. When she lived only short ten years after our mart riage-she gave my life comfort, dig Iity and beauty. She died believing that she had given me supreme hap piness as well. for I made 1t the busintss of my life that she should believe it.' ',
 He paused on that speech. and was conscious that he was watching my reaction to it. But l kept my face blank of any other expression than sympathetic interest in his story. His remark that he had ceased to care for Princess Olga years before. his artistic intimation that he had not loved his wife, the resulting inference which my knowl- edge of him pade me draw--all these strengthened my resolution to give him no intimation that ] was read ing between the lines of his story as he patiently wish me to do.

"Well." said Peter Rabbit, T suppose that Shelly the Armadillo. down there in the Tropics, doesn't do much worrying, seeing that he has such a fine protective coat. l suppose such enemies as he might have leave him alone. just as Prickly Porky's leave him alone. In other words, suppose be really hasn't any enemies. l envy people like Prickly Porky and Shelly the Armadillo"
 Prickly Porky, wllo was close by, srunted. Don't think, Peter Rab- bit," said he. that just because carry thousand little spears, l am left alone. More than once Buster Bear. Puma the Panther and Tufty the Lynx have tried to get me. If any one of them could have turned ms on my back l would have been helpless. Very likely this Shelly which Scrappcr has been telling about, has enemies smart enough to at least try to get the best of him. : "4As to that. l can't say." replied Scrappcr. '1'vc only seen him q few times, for he prefers to come out after dark"
 I've seen him many times,' said Boomer the Niglthawk. "and 1t is lust as you say, Prickly Porky. He has enemies Tn spite of his coat of shell. And. like you, he would be helpless if they could get him stretched on his back. You see. that shell doesn't cover him underneath. I remember once l was sure that ] never would sec Shelly again."

.istilcr of Barbara Newhall Follett,
 14-Year-Old Author of ''The House Without Windows and The V0y-
 age of the Norman D."
 You can't teach children-they teach you.
 When first started to teach Bar bara, found her changing before my very eyes. She never has gone to school, for when she was small we lived in the country and there was no good school there, so I be- gan teaching her at home. l found that had to be on the alert all the time in order to keep up with her. When she was about four years old, she showed consistent interest in her fathers typewriter and in her own and learned the alphabet and spelling on the typewriter keys.
 Found Writing Easy It always has been my theory that the mechanics of writing was diff cult for children. I found, with Bar bara, that she learned the mechanics of typewriting as easily as she learned to manipulate her knife and fork correctly. Then, not having to think about the formation of her let ters, an inner stream of expression was turned loose.
 I never permitted her to write themes CT compositions. even avoided using the words. I told her that she must always write to some one: or. at least. have someone in mind when she wrote. AS a result, she showed a tendency to write let ters. And she has written volumes of them. Many of them have been to famous people. and her correspond enco with people like Walter de Ia Mare, William Lyon Phelps. Elinor Wylie, William Ellery Leonard and many others, has been considerable.
 I never knew when she started her first book. Barbara has a charming habit of giving presents to other members of the family. instead of receiving them, on her birthdays.
 Book Was . Gift
 Three months before her ninth birthday, she started 'TN House Without Windows" for my birthday gift. She confided in her father. reading him the installments as they came off her typewriter. On her big days. she wrote four to five thousand words; the book was completed just q few days after her birthday.
 We stress regularity, common sense and good health measures in her daily program. Barbara eats common-sense food, wears common sense clothes and goes in for fresh air, sunshine and the out-of- doors. She is enthusiastic about sailing and that solves the problem of keeping her out of doors.
 Any child with 8 real interest i'll life is easy to train. for he is anxious to do everything that will help at- tain his end most effectively.

 'How you have stffered." 1 ex- claimed softly. regretted both words and gesture the next second, for my employer quickly grasped my out stretched hand in both his.
 "Heart of gold." he murmured tlamboyantly. Then as I freed my hands from his grasp, he looked the protest which he evidently did not think 1t oppor,une to voice.
 ''Howeyer" he resumed, "I must not let you waste your sympathy upon the idea that any minutest DOT ion of that youthful suffering or in .atuation has fingered with me. The memory of it, yes, and the bitterness tt the scurvy trick which Fate played me in the matter of my birth. But my love for the Princess Olga died long ago, although l am second to no one in my admiration Of the 1eauty, the grace and the keen men, tality of the Queen of Transyanla.

 mentally echoed his remark con- cerning the streak of ruthlessness in the nature of Queen Olga of Trans vania- I just had come from the frightened daughter of that queen, | fugitive because of her mothers determination to marry her to the ,niddle-aged and ugly king of Trees. But I made no vocal comment. for saw that my employer had not fin lshed speaking.

The moment he touched the ground again he started to run, and can tell you. Peter Rabbit, that Shelly could give you a good race. I didn't suppose he had go much speed in him. Beauty the Oce- lot was after him at once. Then be-

 He was almost there when Beau ty bounced on him. but. of course. Beauty couldn't dig his claws into that hard shell. His claws just slid right off. It was then that ] saw low well protected Shelly the Arma- Iilo is. He instantly curled up in q
