WOMEN AND WORK
World Getting New View of the
"Limitations of Sex."
Even in Japan Feminine Workers Are
Invading tfie Factories Stores
and Offices.
A writer in the New East pictures
the coming of Japan's "new woman" in
ways tlmt would be impressive were
there no Europe and no world war. We
have heard before thnt bound feet are
no more in China that Peking believes
In education for girls and that all
through the Flowery laud the Amerii
can sewing machine is giving a good
account of itself we are now assured
that Japan politically modernized for
well nigh half a century is deep in the
task of completing the emancipation of
her women from the patriarchal sys-
tem says a writer in the Boston Her-
ald. Vast numbers of them have found
occupations in the factories; other
contingents ure at work in the .offices
and in that newest innovation of all
the department store. The age of bus-
iness has at last dawned for the island
empire and the click of the typewriter
is heard in the land. Meanwhile there'
is a rush of women to the professions.
It is the women now who are sought
for the stage and the demand has been
found large enough to warrant the for
mation of dramatic schools attached to
the large theaters. A woman doctor
used to be an impossibility in Japan.
At this year's examination for medical
practice in Tokyo 27 out of 39 candi-
dates who passed were women. And
the call for wflman teachers In the
schools grows apace.
Compare this peaceful type of evolu-
tion with the changes which have
come to the western people under the
stress of war. In our own land the
women once socially active mainly
through their churches and clubs are
now fast closing up into a great co-
operative ogranlzation which has food
conservation for its detail and nation
al defense for Its unifying spirit and
end.
At a demonstration given the other
day by English women In Hertford-
shire 1000 of them gathered to show
their proficiency In trimming ditches
hoeing roots carting and a dozen
other kinds of farm work which they
had taken up to liberate the men and

women are helping the allies as driv-
ers of ambulances and motorcars; in
both France and England women run
buses conduct trains and function! in
scores of occupations that have bijgn
hitherto reserved for men. What

board's decision. Seven years ago he
discovered kinship with a blind wom-
an ;a distant cousin. He voluntarily
assumed the care of this woman the
board found- assuming the relation-
ship of a son to a mother. Finding
that the young man had assumed the!
responsibility of his.- blind relative

war the board classified him as though
he were supporting a dependent

some things without' being able to ac-
count for them but I am neverthe-
less certain that they are all tricks.
One of the best of these was an exhibi-
tion with cards. The performer
placed a deck of cards upright in a
glass. Then taking another deck he
exposed a card and calling "come;
come several times in his native lan-
guage the Identical card which he was
exhibiting rose out of the deck in the
glass and stood where it could be "seen
by a large audience right on top or the
deck the performer at the same time
exhibiting the card which he had se-
lected. I believe that this was due to
clever manipulation though I suppose
some persons would ascribe It to tel-
epathy. ' -
"I have seen the trick of making a
plant grow from a seed before the
eyes and this too. I believe is the re-
sult of .manipulation. A curtain is
placed around the vessel and then re-
moved and the plant shown expanding
and growing.- . . ; '.
"Somewhat more difficult to he -skeptical

ances of the Hindu ascetics and "orfle
of these are possibly the results- of
religious fanaticism. T know of the
case of a man who lay 14 years On a
bed of spikes. That is. he was said
to have lain there 14 years; Eventual-
ly of course he died of his sufferings.
T saw the man myself and there was
no reason to doubt the tales of the
length of time of his torture.
"I know also that the stories of men
