JESUS ARMY SLOP
Tell of Ptomaine Poi.
| soning

NEW YORK. - George Rothstein,
working 3 days a week for the city
at cut rate wages on a job in Pros
pect Park, provided by the Erner-
genoy Employment Committee, APP
piled yesterday for his pay, and had
to wait in line for over three hours,
before the city condescended to give
him his starvation wages.
While waiting in line with the
other men he heard tales of desper-
ate misery on all sides, workers tell
ing how they have been robbed right
and left by boss rackets in the en-
ployment agency business, by install
ment house racketers and others; by
loan sharks taking advantage of the
desperate situation of tn eunem-
ployed.
Several spoke in angry protest
against the much handed out by the
Salvation Army, telling how the
workers are suffering from ptomaine
poisoning after eating the rotten
stuff they received on the Jesus
bread line. One worker actually died
of ptomaine poisoning after eating
some clam chowder last Friday. His
death, however, was passed off as
heart failure" The bread is always
stale, the men reported, and the
coffee absolutely putrid.

German Tourists May
Boycott Trondhjem

The ancient city OF Trondhjem, the
old ecclesiastical center of Scandinavia
and the gate to 1.-The Land of the Mid
night SUM-" is in a dilemma. There
are a few modest shooting galleries in
the town and the targets have the
shape of figures portraying prominent
personages from the old German i'm
perial era, such as Wilhelm II, ex-
Crown Prince Wilhelm, the King of
Saxony, the Grand Duke of Baden, Bis
narck, Hindenburg, ETC., all being in
full-dress parade. Some patriotic Ger
mans, misunderstanding the situation
and believing that the shooting galleries
were intended for serious anti German
and especially for al1ti-royalistic propa-
ganda, have now sent an ultimatum to
the tourist organizations of Trondhjem
to the effect that If the targets are not
removed Immediately the City of
Trondhiem shall be boycotted by all
German tourists this Summer. To avoid
such serious eventuality the tourist
association made overtures to the pro-
prietors of the shooting galleries, only
to receive a somewhat surprising reply
that all the targets are made in Ger
many. The targets were purchased
only after competition from England,
France and Germany, the latter figures
being both cheapest and most ornate. :"
What--asks the City of Trondhjem-is
now to be done? If the targets are re-
moved the tourists may come, but COM
mercial relations between the town and
Germany may suffer. If one considers
the commercial relations the most inn
portant, there may be organized regu-
lar tourist boycott in Germany-a live,
but awkward, issue for a city supposed
to live on midnight sun all Summer.

Publicist Lists Hawaii
AS Type of ''Melting Pot

Hawaii's outstanding contribution to
the world to date is not sugar, pine
apples, beach songs, the ukulele or
tourist promotion, but the mixing of
races without prejudice or friction, ac-
cording to B. w. Fleisher, noted Toxic
publicist. Publisher of the Japan Ad-
vertiser in Toxic, the Transpacifc
magazine, resident Of Japan for more
than quarter Of century and trusted
by Japanese leaders, Fleisher considers
Hawaii the best example Of the melt
ing pot" he has ever seen. The COM
ment was made recently as he stopped
there en- route to Toxic after several
months in the States. Fleisher says that
the worlds greatest problem today is
the conflict between Oriental and Oc-
cidental civilizations, and that only
through such friendly understanding
and cooperation as the races have ar
rived at in Hawaii can the conflict be
other than bitter and disastrous. He
also observes q growing resentment in
Oriental countries at the assumed SUI
periority of the whites" and feels that
China, for instance, will never allow
this assumption to continue as the basis
of relationship Of foreign powers to the
Chinese republic.

5000, 900 Japanese
Girls Hold Down Jobs

There are now 100000 Japanese
girls and women engaged in skilled Ia
Dor. In striking contrast to the days
before the Meiii restoration Of 1858
when there was virtually no respectable
occupation for members of the fair sex
1t Is only recently that figures have
been compiled, which show the large
number of girls who are now working In
factories and business Offices and which
indicate in black and white what a
comparatively short period of time is
necessary to overcome time honored
prejudices.
Factory girls number just over 1,000,-
600, the next classification being clerks
who number nearly 100000. Other oc-
equations, which include more than TO-
600 girls and women, are teaching, Ste
biography. shopwork, telephone operat-
ing and nursing. One of the specialist
classes is that OF midwives. These num-
Der 10000. Nearly half of the girls
questioned in widespread investiga-
ton said that they were working to
earn money for their families.
Only IL per cent said they were sup
porting themselves. One Of the princi-
pal reasons for this is that the scale
of salaries and wages is still so low that
most girls do not make enough to live
on, 1t being expected that what they
make shall 60 merely to help the family
pocketbook. Thirty dollars a month Is
. high salary for the average employed
female.
