PAGE SIX fiKlNG MEN'S J0BS 'YPRES A BIG SOUVENIR SHOP Finnish Women Take Up Al Kinds of Employment. Even Serve as Porters on Sleeping Cars—Do Office and Manual Work. Helsingfors.—An astonishing sight for the stranger in Finland is the num- ber of women engaged in almost every field of employment. In England dur- ing the war one became accustomed to the sight of women performing var- fous kinds of work in which previous- ly only men were engaged. But in Finland the visitor gets the impres- sfon that the women are doing every- thing. Not only are they at heavy manual work in fields and factories but they have become skilled as mechanics and have Invaded business offices to an ex- tent that Is probably undreamed of In any other country. In banks the proportion of women employees to men appears to be about ten to one. In the biggest financial institutions in Helsingfors women hold positions involving great responslblll—l ty and calling for exceptional ability. At the Finnish foreign office the As- sociated Press correspondent noticed that women were holding offices that would be entirely beyond the aspira- tions of their sisters in the state de- partment at Washington or the Brit- ish foreign office. This change has come about almost overnight. Finland’s man power has been greatly depleted, and a large part of what is left is required for military service. The Finnish business woman is re- markably keen and intelligent. She has a kind of masculine intereet and absorption in her work that seems to admit of no margin for sentiment or frivolity. She dresses simply and smartly, as do the majority of the city- bred women of this country. Am American walking through the prin- cipal streets of Helsingfors might well believe, judging from the costumes and brisk walk of the Finnish women, that he was in the heart of Chicago. e School Gardens Produce $48,000,000 in Food Value Washington.—Children enlist- ed in home gardening under school supervision in the United States school garden army have produced, In the little more than a year the work has been in operation, foodstuffs valued at $48,000,000, the ‘bureau of edu- cation of the gepartment of the interior annou ced.\ AH! BOLSHEVIK PLOT IN JAVA Chinese Are Accused of Using Trade Boycott to Advance Radi- calism. The Hague.—The Dutch East In- dian government has revealed what is alleged to have been an extraordinary boishevik plot In Java and other Dutch East Indian colonies under the gulse of an anti-Japanese boycott. Chinese holshevikl, it 1Is stated, launched the campalgn, advising the East Indian Chinese not to trade with the Japanese merchants nor to deposit their funds In a Japanese bank. Agitation was conducted advocating the patronizing of certain financial in- stitutions conducted by Chinese. These tatter. according to The Netherlands government agents, were found to be bolshevik sympathizers who had planned to use the funds thus secured to carry on bolshevik propaganda in the far East. A press telegram from Makassar, Java, announced that the boycott had been ended. GAVE A BOOK; GOT A HUSBAND New York Girl Evidently Was As Sweet as Poetry Volume She Donated. New York.—When the *“Books for Soldiers” campaign was at its height early last year, Miss Hazel Bell Gil- bert of Sheepshead Bay, a daughter of Detective Sergeant George P. Gil- bert of the bomb squad, turned in a volume of poems. The book, with her name on the fly- teaf. found its way to a rest station behind the firing lines, and there fell into the hands of Lieut. Willilam J. Edwards of the marine corps, who wrote her a Jetter asking her if she were as sweet as the verses. Virtually the City’s Sole Industry Now Is the Getting of Money From Tourists. The future of Ypres is still uncer- tain. No one knows at present to what extent the town will be rebuilt as it was. All that is certain Is that the former population of some 18,000 souls are now for the most part at Paris- Plage and Blankenberghe and that most of them are anxious to return “home."” There are more than a thousand | people living in Ypres today, but these are mainly adventurers from Brussels and elsewhere, who have been attract- ed by the chance of making money out of visitors, says the London Times. A new Ypres is rising among the rulns of the old, but it is a wooden Ypres, of a character altogether repulsive to all who realize that a quarter of a mil- lion lives were given to defend the isallent which takes its name from the town, The new Ypres Is a place of cafes and restaurants, of mobs of picture postcard hawkers, of pleasure wagons and omnibuses, of souvenir hunters and noise. There is a so-called “Brit- | ish tavern” In the grand palace itself, and the road to the Menin gate is lined with places of refreshment. In the town and its vicinity there are 135 i cafes and restaurants, and everywhere among the tumbled heaps of brick and plaster, stone and girders men are ea- gerly hammering and building to in- crease the number. The Belgian government has shown tself very willing to consider all rea- sonable proposals in the way of con- serving the ruins and of erecting me- morials. It has declared that the re- wmalns of the Cloth hall, cathedral and adjacent buildings will be left as they are. It has allotted to the Canadians certain sites by the Menin gate. It has promised a site for the erection of an English church. There has been talk of preserving the whole of the remains of the town as a memorial. GREAT IS FROSTY MORNING Health-Giving Air Seems to Bring New Life and Hope to Souls of Men and Women. After gioomy days, tne Irosly morn ing comes as a benediction. It seems to put new life and new hope and new women, remarks the Columbus Dis- patch. Not long ago there was a nasty week. Clouds and moisture—and de- pression. The sun was all but forgot- ten, for if it showed itself at all, it was with a sickly fleeting glow. The muscles became flabby from the warm temperature; dispositions took on the nature of the weather. There was no elasticity in the step, no mirth in the volce, a slow, ‘dull, listless tiredness took hold of people. And then came the frosty morning. One did mot have to have eyes to know that the sun was shining, nor ears to hear the mu- sic of attuned Nature, A hundred years were saved right here in the city in the quickened pace of the people. A thousand horsepower was added to the strength of the la- borers. The good resolutions that were made would fill a library—and the inspirations that came to those who breathed deeply of the frost-ladened air w!ll keep the world a-going for another season. Great are the bless- ings of God scintillating from every crystai; divine music borne upon the wings of the health-giving alr. , aspirations into the souls of men and I Airplane Saves Taxpayers’ Money. The practice of conveying prisoners to jail by airplane was begun in San Francisco recently when Ivan Gates, police aviator of the San Francisco department, flew across the bay to Alameda and veturned with James M. Kelley, who had been sentenced to six’ months in jail. Kelley, who was} brought across with no handcuffs on, says he enjoyed the trip across the bay, though it was rather short—less than five minutes. The airplane went ap 5,000 feet. Chief of Police White says: “Think what a saving it will be if we can send a plane to Reno or Los Angeles for a man and have him back in a few hours. Now there must be a long, expensive trip by train, with a stop over night at a hotel.” To Make Potato Flour.
