Russian Girls in
Armies of China

The Chinese women soldiers wear
male garb and carry rifles and bay
onets, and in the fighting in which
they have figured up to now they are
said to have proven fearless and de-
termined both In attack and in out
post work.
Moreover, they are no laggards in
the business of marching and eeHn-
ter-marching, which is a feature Of
campaigning in this wild region. and
the cruel h%ardships of life in the
field are accepted without murmur-
ings OF flinching.
They are true Amazons, these wam-
en- fighters. the womenfolk of bandits.
to whom fighting and ~hardships have
become matters of second nature.
There are many such in the wild
marches of northern China.
For all that we live in the Twentieth
century, women warriors of this tvfte

supposed. Only a year or two back.

Their womenfolk left back in Har-

Woman's place may be In the
home. but the annual reports just
Issued by numerous leading corpo-

that she is also making a place for
herself In the financial world through
the medium Of stock ownership. A
Few years ago the names of women
were sci N found on the rolls of
stockholders, bat IL figures are to be
believed feminine investors are en-
croachlng steadily on a field hitherto
dominated by men.
Furthermore, the women are not
content merely to own a few or many
shares of stock and sit Idly by and
let the men run affairs. Many wom-
en- today are members of the boards
oil large corporations--and they are
not mere ~figureheads. They are ac-
tive members and the men have come
TO respect their Judgment.
Stock records Indicate that the
women like railroad shares. One

number 10S-210 are women, or 1919
per cent of the total. With an aver
