FEMALE OUTLAWS COMMON IN CHINA Women Ontdo Men in Cruel Treatment of Captives Hongkong, Sept. 26 P—The wom- an pirate and the Amazonian bandit have become commonplace figures In the picture of present day China's turmoil. Reports of armed women being among the marauders who have attacked a vessel or looted a village have become so frequent that they excite little more interest than is aroused by the monthly reports of the ricksha coolies’ union. Many women have become lead- ers of bandit or pirate gangs, ruling with as much ferocity as any hard- boiled Chinese male who ever led a gang of cut-throats into a defense- less village or across the deck of a captured merchantman. Some re- ports indicate, in fact, that the wo- men outlaws, true to the traditions of their sex when they “go bad,” outdo the men in the ruthless treat- ment of victims. A newspaper ‘investigation into recent activities of a gang of out- laws made-up mostly of women has thrown some interesting sidelights on the way in which the Chinese fe- male outlaw operates. In one instance this band sacked the flourishing village of Woochung in South China and kidnaped more than 100 persons, holding them for ransom. Ordinarily a band of cap- tives of this size loses one or two of its members en route to the outlaws’ lair, the . escaped persons giving clues to the route and prob- ahle whereabouts of the marauders. " But police and military authorities reported that no trace could be found of the Woochung raiders and inquiry disclosed the reason. Sur- vivors of the affair recounted that each woman bandit appeared with & sling on her back and after mak- ing good use of her club, pistol and other weapons, departed with a trussed-up prisoner in the sling. the captives being carried in much the same manner that bables =re packed about by Chinese mothers. None of the prisoners taken in this raid returned to give a clue as to the direction in which the ban- dits had fled. But word was sent back to the village that the price for release of all the captives was $30,000 gold. Relatives of the vic- tims, although knowing that failure to pay meant the almost certain execution of the prisoners, could ¢ only say that this was more money than the entire village could scrape together in a year. The force that turned the women of this particular band to brigand- age was the same that has prompt- ed many other law abiding and peace loving Chinese to take _up lives of crime. Civil wars, famine, collapse of the country's currency and other economic factors have driven thousands of men and women to seek a living where they could find ‘it and from whoever happened to have anything worth taking. The women in the Woochungg raid came from the silk district of Shuntak. =~ A few years ago this section grossed about $50,000,000 = year from its principal industry. Now only a small fraction of that amount can be sold and thousands of silk workers, including many women, have found piracy or ban- ditry their only hope 'of keeping body and soul together. WORKERS TO REGAIN JOBS Worcester, Mass., Sept. 26 (UP)— Twenty members of the Amalgamat- ed Street Railway Employes’ Union, recently laid off, will be able to re- turn to work as result of a vote by other union members to change from a seven-day to a six-day-week basis.

Now I always keep 8 jar on hand, and am glad to pass along a good word for Resinol.” (Signed)—Miss Julia Klug, Loyal, Wis.
