Kyoto YWCA Woman Visits Seattle
EnrOute to Canada Training School
PAGE TWO

On her way to Toronto, Canada,
where she will study at the United
Church Training School. Miss Michi
Hasegawa of Kyoto, Japan, stopped
over in Seattle this week. She is
the program secretary of the Kyoto
YWCA and the purpose of her trip,
her first to this country, is to study
group work.
Miss Hasegawa was invited to
Canada by the training school. She
will be there two years.
Speaking haltingly but precisely,
she said
TITS so clean. It's SO very beauti
full and there are so many bright
colors in the shop windows.
Your country and Canada are
so kind to us japanese My country
men know so little about your people
just what they learn from pictures
or from movies. want to go home
and tell them how things really
are"
Miss HaSegawa was graduated
from Tokyo Women's Christian
College and from Tokyo YWCA
Physical Education Department.
From 1914 to 1916 she taught girls
crafts in the Japanese branch of
the YWCA in Shanghai. She also
taught the japanese language in a
Chinese high school.
She made the trip by herself from

New Interest
OF Japan Women

TOKYO, Aug. 20-Japanese women
want their freedom wholehog.
Long ago they discovered that
equality in the pocketbook precedes
all other freedoms. Now they are
learning how to increase their liber-
ties.
Since the reopening of the stock
exchanges in May, Japan's Wall
Street has been humming with the
influx of women spectators.
However, few women buy for in
vestment purposes. They are specu-
lators who sell as soon as their
shares rise.
Well-advertised lectures at the
brokerage firms draw crowds of
2,400 females. Here the women hear
explanations of market operations
and learn the rudiments of econo-
mics. They are taken on tours Of
factories. Dealers concentrate on the
stocks of firms manufacturing con-
sumner or household products. Food
and drugstores are pushed.
In the olden days women used to
save little out of the monthly
household budget without the know
ledge of their husbands. 1t was their
only insurance against a poverty
stricken widowhood. Today. the wo-
men buy and sell on the stock mar
ket and spend their earnings in
their newly acquired leisure hours

Policeman Finds
Small Fortune in
Bag in Cutler

NEW YORK, May Is. -tR- A
big blob of grease fell on the wind
shield of police car from an Ell
track forcing Patrolman Gilbert
Orr to get out in the rain.
He spotted pink rag in a gutter
and picked it up to use to wipe off
the grease. He noticed the rag was
knotted at four corners and felt
heavy.
He took it to the car and
opened it. Out spilled an even $12,-
600 in cash. There were seventy
eight 500 bills, seventy-five $50's
and many smaller ones.
Police higher-ups were mystified
by the find. No such loss had been
reported anywhere in the metro
polls recently.
