n A ¥ . \ . Mother Jones Looks Forward to May 1, When She Will Pass Her 100th Birthday In Sick Room Veteran Labor Leader Says Prohibition “Hum- bug”, Peace Conference “Trash”, and Modern Jazz “Foolishness”—Un- employment Worst Prob- lem. ‘Washington, April 9 (UP)—DMoth- er Jones is hoarding thesc spring days like a miser. The aged labor leader, amazonian heroine of many coal strikes, watches each day pass outside her sick-room, for each one takes her nearer the ‘hour of her 100th birthday on May 1, & day, likewise, notable in the an- nals of labor. Mother Jones realizes she is near- ing the end of her hard but dramatic Nfe, and is determined to see that final day which will close a century. She's going to have a party then, a big birthday party. To Have Birthday Cake There will be a huge birthday cake, the gift of the bakers union, with 100 candles on its frosted sur- face, and congratulations, and best of all for her, the memories of a 100 years. For that day, Mother Jones clings to life. “I'll be up and around soon and #ee my boys again,” she said toda confidently, when the United Pres correspondent called. Observing ur :mployment and the modern industrial trend in displace- ment of men by machines, she said: “That's the biggest problem of to- day. You are throwing men out of work and putting machines in their places. What are you going to do about it? That's something for our statesmen to ponder.” Calls Prohibition “Humbug” Prohibition? “I think that is the greatest hum- bug ever put over on the American people.” She explained she doesn't know enough about the London naval con- ference to discuss it, but she has her own opinion about such things. “Those peacc conferences are a lot of trash, just spending the peo- ple’s money junketing about.” Her viewpoint is colored by a lack of sympathy with modern civiliza- tion, with its speed, its new thrills— the theater, the moving picture, the jazz dance. “They are a lot of foolishnes: 1 never went to a theater in my life and I only went to one moving pic- ture show.” “T thought they were a lot of fools. I never had any time for those things. I never went to dances or parties. There are too many wretched people in the world who need help.” The present “crisis,” as she calls it, needs leadership, she said. There never was a time in all the history of the American people when you need level-headed men as you do today.” Looking back over her own experi- ences in various coal mine controver- sics, she philosophized: Don't Use Their Power “Women have power but they don’t know how to use it. They get timid. It I ever knew what fear meant I never would have done what 1 did."” One of the things that she did and she recalled it today as if it happened yesterday—was to defy a group of hired gunmen who had planted a machine gun on a ridge above a West Virginia mine. She walked right up to them, took the gun and told the men that 700 min- ers, well-armed, were coming over to attack them. “They let me have the gun and ran,” she said. Another time a governor of Colo- rado told her she could not go back among the miners. “'Said I to him u'll go to hell be- fore you keep me away.’ So I went baclk. ‘Hart Gets Patent On Typewriting Machine By GEORGE H.

Lovely cherry blossoms made by the Girl Reserves bloomed in corners of the gymnasium. The entire gymnasium was lighted by Japanese lanterns. Much credit is due to Mrs. Duncan Shaw, chaiz- man of the decoration committee, for the artistic cffect. During the dinner hour Miss .

Helen Smith, Mrs. L. L. Harding, and Mrs. Arthur S. Grant. Miss Scott commented on the ra- pid strides forward Japan is taking as a nation. Japan shows more problems with likenesses to Amer- ica than differences. Many situ- tions which in America it has tak- en years to achieve, Japan has made with a leap. Social problems have sprung upon her and she has mot them in the same way. The eco- conditions affected the life of women and girl In the old days it was the custom of every Japanese girl to be mar- ried ecarly, the marriage being ar- ranged by her family. Now manv of the girls are not getting married | but are going out into the business world doing all the things her sis-| ters are doing in America. The rc- have | NEW BRITAIN. DAILY HERALD. WEDNESDAY, grettable part is that they are be- ing forced into the business and pro- fessional world with no training. Miss Scott said. It is in these places where the Y. W. C. A's can help. There are hundreds of girls taking advantage of what the association can offer. Women are entering all professions. There, are opportuni- ties for service in Japan and the Young Women's Christian assoca- tion is endeavoring to live up to the high standards of the Y. W. C. A. in the west, she said. The Young Women's Christian as- sociation in Japan went through the earthquake with courage undaunt- ed and although everything was lost today modern buildings are taking the place of-those that were destroy- ed and in Tokio alene 1500 girls use the building daily and over 2000 are enrolled in the health education de- partment. Japanese girls love the water and are good swimmers. The spirit of the association was char- acteristically shown when hundreds | of girls came back to the association site after the earthquake beforc th- ashes were hardly cold, Miss Scott said.
