IN JAPAN, a news dispatch says,
10000 girls were sold to fac
tories and into the Shameful pro-
fessions" by their fathers last
year.
The price they get for their
daughters runs from SO to $500.
The girls, sold supposedly for a
period of six years, actually be-
come slaves for life with the
transaction. Brokers who make
arrangements for the sale, get 30
per cent commission. This is a
practice, says the dispatch, par
alleled only in the famine areas
of the interior of China"
IN SOUTH CHINA, in many ter
1 ritories where women and chill
dren were formerly sold to textile
mills and into domestic service for
life, the workers and peasants drove
out the foreign imperialists, their
own landowners and war lords and
established Soviets. They immedi-
ately issued DEGREES establishing the
freedom and equality of women. It
was no longer permitted That women
be sold as slaves. Women had equal
rights with men to own property.
The Chinese Communists took i'm
mediate energetic measures to en-
force these DEGREES.

Patriotic Drive in Lynn
Local Aims To Split

By Shoe Worker Correspondent

LYNN, Mass.-The Stitchers' Lo-
cal of Lynn, instigated by some of
its reactionary officials, suspended
for a year young shoe worker,
Vera Nabeshka, for refusing to
salute the American flag.
The rank and file of the local are
not responsible for introducing this
flag business into the local. Their
vote of action against Vera was not
a consciously thought out move on
their part; they were simply misled.
How can any honest shoe worker,
man or woman, vote for bringing in
such issues into our union, if we

'Fashionables Now Fall For Autumn Styles
plaids Find Fayor With Women At Smart Places
Rr RETsY sCHuYLER

NEA Service Stan Correspondent New York-The clothes that are
 being worn in fashionable places these days have distinct tang of autumn about them. Gone are the sprightly summer prints the linen suits and white flannel skirts. Tn their place, there's. an array of as
 handsome early fall costumes as
 one ever hopes to see. 6
 There are suits <. tweeds.
 rough and smooth surfaced wool ems, fianne1s and handknits
 in profusion. Some are three-piece
 with plain, narrow skirts, hip-
 length jackets and matching top-
 coats cut on swagger lines. Others l-the two-pieced varieties - are
 smoothly tailored with flat collars and notched revers.
 Obviously, chic society women | like the new plaids and checks. Anyone who is at all interested in what they are wearing" can see | for herself that three out of every ten woolen outfits either are all | plaid or half plaid and half plain. traditional Combinations Lead
 The Scotch plaids are positively | fiamboyant with the old fashioned
 combination, red, green and black | leading. Brown, tan and yellow | is another popular plaid color scheme. So is gray, navy and red.
 Blue and gray checked woolen jac-
 kets with dark gray skirts make
 handsome ensembles. Brown and | yellow checked coats with skirts of plain brown are worn a good deal. l too.
 Mrs Norman K. Toerge, when observed on the clubhouse lawn at Belmont race track, wore 9 flatter- ing outfit of plain skirt and double-
 breasted woolen jacket in a small
 checked design. She completed 1t vii woolen beret and a loosely tied Ascot scarf.
 Miss Peggy Sykes, attending the steeplechase of the Southampton
 Riding and Hunt club with her
 brother, Christopher, went in for figured-type fabric, too. Her outfit
 included a plain woolen skirt With slit pockets, topcoat of novelty
 woolen in herringbone design,
 high-crowned felt hat and flannel
 shirt.
 Mannish Shirts Popular | Mannish shirts. by the way, seem | to appeal to all women. And well they might. There just isn't any,
 thing that's more fun to wear and
 as casual t-smart looking than a
 perfectly-tailored shirt, whether 1t be linen, flannel or taffeta. All
 blouses of this type are buttoned down the front and have tailored
 collars and cuffs. They're really as | comfortable as sweaters.
 I Speaking fo sweaters, many so- cial registerites are wearing them with suits. Mrs Fraser M. Horn | went to the Southampton steeple-
 chase met in a fiattering corduroy sports suit and a white knitted sweater. The skirt was buttoned down the front, the coat was swag- ger-type and the neck of the sweater was covered by a bright silk scarf. Of course, one-piece dresses vie
 with the suits right now. The ma iority are black, but the rich jewel coIors and plain brown and dark gray are quite popular, too. Mrs P. A. B. Widener, also seen at the
 races, wore stunning black dress with white collar and small bow tie, white gloves and a wide-brim- med black hat.

did not complain of hunger, felt a return of vigor, feeling of well be- ing and resistance to fatigue.
 Dr Josephine H. Kenyon success fully treated a series of cases of hypopituitary obesity by diet and exercise alone, without the use of any glandular medication. The diet she adapted for such cases was based on a degree on that which Drs Evans and Strang had worked out. pr Kenyon gave patients in addition three or four special vita min preparations. "It was difficult for some of these patients to learn to eat all thta was advised. Break fast especially, was a larger meal than they were accustomed to-" The breakfast generally prescribed was one portion of fruit, one egg and the white of a second egg. and, if desired, clear coffee or tea, a bread substitute and a sugar sub- stitute.
 It begins to look as though the vita min ration has good deal to do with the subject of overweight and reduction.
 That is factor which has been ignored in all previous diets or methods of reduction, simply be- cause nobody knew enough about vitamins.
 It is one reason why no longer suggest the Karell (skim milk) diet which I formerly recommended with great enthu1iasm. Another reason, of course, Is that we now have a reduction method which is so much more satisfactory, to patient and physicians alike, that there is no reason why any one should suffer the discomforts of such severely restricted diets.
 The so-called Hollywood or 1S- day diet has wrecked the health of many a victim and indeed has ap- parently lighted into activity latent tuberculosis which might normal ly never have become manifest. This and similar unscientific diets which have been widely promoted by irresponsible persons have served at least to teach the general public that dieting" for reduction is a serious matter and had better be undertaken only under proper medical supervision. Fasting or re- training from all food but fruit juice is more dangerous still. There is a pronounced tendency toward the development of ketosis. espe- cially if the body fat is actually melted away, and this state of ketosis Gone form of acidosis) is a grace condition in any case.
 pr Wilder as well as Drs Evans and Strang prescribed special prep arations to provide increased min erals. Dr Kenyon depended on the foods in her. diets to provide minerals.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1934-09-11

'I am led to believe" wrote Dr Russell Wilder in scientific article on the treatment of obesity, that excessive eating by some persons may be explained as an unconsci- ous effort to secure adequate vita mins." In the text of the same article, Dr Wilder intimates that vitamins A and D may be neglect ed in the diet, since the patients $ own fat is drawn on during reduc- tion and thls fat contains some vitamins.
 Drs Frank Evans and J. Strang found that overweight patients on a carefully limited diet supplying considerably less than 1000 calories a day but adequate vitamins lost from 21a to 41a pounds a week,

H The college girl, unless she has some specific skin ailment, needs nothing more in the way of cos metics for her face than soap and water, one cream, foundation To tion, rouge, powder and lipstick. Time enough, later on, to go in for oils and lotion to prevent lines, wrinkles and excessive dryness. Right now, plenty of sleep, fresh air, and exercise are her best means of staying lovely.
 If you want to be one of the most sought-after co-eds on the campus, keep your skin scrupu- lously- clean, use good cream at least once a day, apply cosmetics with great restraint and keep your self exquisitely groomed.
 Good grooming, by the way, is just as important to an eighteen year-old freshman as it is to the sophisticated woman who graduat- ed ten years ago. Even though carefully pressed pleats are not modish on your particular campus, carefully manicured nails and a neat makeup will earn you plenty of compliments.
 Give yourself a manicure at least once a week, and be sure to push back the cuticle around your nails each time aftetr you've washed your hands. Don't forget to use hand lotion at least three times a day-oftener than that if your school is in a cold climate.
 Cream your neck as we'll as your face. The same applies to founda- tion lotion and powder. A care fully powdered face above a neck that's shiny just isn't attractive. Use rouge sparingly. If you get enough exercise, the chances are that you won't need it at all.

This view was recently expressed by Lady simon, wife of the head of the British delegation at a con- ventiOn of British women. do not think women would ever go to war because war is not the out come of the fighting instinct but the passion among leaders for wealth and power. And these pas sions are not so strong in women as in men. Furthermore they bear and rear tlle children and know the price far better than men.

1.-I wager on the profession. Tn a notable address to the Choose a-Career Conference held in New ark, N. J. in June, James F. War burg, eminent economist and bank CT, said that banking for personal profits was "dead issue" He pointed out that in the past this was proper motive but now the banker is custodian of the funds of the people and responsible for the proper functioning of these funds in production, distribution and consumption. He warned them that unless the future banker went into it as profession, as doctor or lawyer does, with ideals of SO cial service, banking would be taken over by the government which he regarded as unwise. If profits is your motive," he warned, ''stay out" Wise words, young men.

PEARS ALWAYS
 PRESERVE POPULARITY
BY MARY E. DAGUE NEA Service Stan Writer

If the pear tree in the back yard bore well this year-or if you find a pear bargain in the market, do try a few recipies for preserving that satisfying fruit for next win ter. Spicer pears are good with winter roasts and stews. Pear con- serve goes extra well with hot rolls or toast, and ginger pears fill in anywhere and are easy to makes besides.
 Ginger Pears
 Nine pounds pears, 6 pounds granulated sugar, cups water, 4 lemons, 6 ounces crystalized gin- ger.
 Pare fruit in cut in thin slices. removing core. Drop into a weak saltwater to prevent discoloring. Drain from salt water and add to boiling syrup made with sugar and water. Simmer until fruit begins to look clear<around the edges and add the grated rind of 2 lemons and the juice of all four. Add ginger cut in tiny bits and simmer until mixture is thick and pears are transparent. Put into steri- lized jelly glasses and cover with a thin layer, of parafin. When cold cover with more parafin. Store in a cool dark place.
 Spiced Pears
 Six pounds pears, 5 cups light brown sugar, cups cider vinegar, IA cup broken stick cinnamon and whole cloves mixed.
 Pare pears before weighing. Place in a crock alternately with layers of sugar. If the pears are quite large they should be cut Tn halves and cored. Pour on vinegar and let stand over night. Drain off liquid and add spices tied in a cheesesloth bag. Bring to the at the moment, it will be a tug o'-war between Paris and New York. with the odds on the Am erican metropolis.

 She hadn't heard from her mother and father nor from Isabel, although there had been a brief notice of Russ's death in the New York papers. Maybe they hadn't seen it or maybe they were wait ing for her to make the first move. Well, she wouldn't do that. Weak as she was, she had Ter pride. She would stand on her own feet.
 She climbed the stairs wearily to her own room. Denis had already established a more comfortable chair there. It was one he had had in storage, he said. She would be doing him a service to give it house space. She didn't entirely believe this. She thought he had gone into a shop and bought it for her, after Investigating the sagging springs of Mrs Moneys furniture.
 The affair of the $10 bill at Lacy's had been cleared up. She wasn't sure whether it had been found or not but she learned that Denis had seen young MT Bliss.

 points out some of the many
 aspects of this question.
 A mother asks about her little girl going back to school when she isn't quite strong yet,' after SC. were illness.
 Her problem may be and likely is that of many other mothers whose children are run down or have not quite come back after an operation or sick spell. am going to hit from the shoulder at the school or school official who puts education before life and health, and refuses to rec tognize the necessity of physical fit- ness of child to attend.
 Change Is Noted
 However. as children come more and more into their own, the more humane side of education is mak- ing headway. Child care is skip ping right up beside the three R's | dIu IL lo lliIc lIoCCu tIldI IL ulds | It is well known today that con- valescence is as important as cure if there are to be no future ill ef- fleets. i, Hearts and organs need rest after an onslaught of disease, especially if there has been con- tinued temperature, nerve shock, or a long depletion of blood and tissues. These need rebuilding be- fore they are called on to stand more strain.
 | If school sessions and study will retard progress or do actual dam- age, such child should continue on the regimen of rest, mild ex- ercise and mental content pre- scribed by the doctor.

The doc tors word has more weight in such affairs today than was9 formerly the case.
 On the other hand there are cases where the convalescent child frets more about staying out of school than can be compensated for by rest and idleness at home. If this happens some arrangement might be made by which he can attend half day, or part of each session.
 It is quite true also that a child will occasionally improve faster once back into regular routine. Regular short walks, and an in- terest in simple lessons that do not worry him, may have salu- tary effect.

 Answer-I don't know a sure cure for anything under the sun, except perhaps death for taxes, though with the inheritance tax and all. it seems as though even death doesn't get you anywhere these days. Unfortunately one with cancer is not in a position to de- mand guarantee. You had better begin the radium treatments with out delay. in inoperable cases of cancer. radinm or X-ray treatments are often the best alternative.
