By United Financial CHICAGO, Oct. 20.—Grain prics opened sllghtly lower on thè Chicago Board of Trade today. The drop was In sympathy with a moderate decline in Liverpool and reports that thè car situation in thè western States hai! been slightly relieved.

Reports from thè seaboard stated about 650,000 buahels of wheat had been worked for export over night. Corn receipts were light at 140 cara, but selling pressure appeared on reports that thè country was making Jarger offerlngs. * Oats brolce away from thè trend of thè market and opened fully steady to fractionally higher.

GEISHA GIUS ARE FREED RT COURT ORDER Ancient Japanese Custom ls Abolished, Freeing 500,000 Girls From Virtnal Slavery. By RODNEY DUTCHER. United ’Stws Staff Correapondent CHICAGO, Oct. 20.—Abolltion of Japan’s famous Geisha system, which was sound by a court to be thè equivalent of girl peonage, is a long step toward success in campaign for sex equality long waged by thè women of Nippon, In thè opinion of Kadzue Kuwashima, Japanese consul here. The Geisha profession has flouiished in Japan for about slxty years, Kuwashlma said, and today it is estimated that there aro now nearly 600,000 Geisha girls in thè land of thè cherry blossom. No Japanese trave! story in that time had been complete without Its Geishas. It has been thè custom for Geisha “masters” to select comely glris and enter lnto long-term contrada with their parents for perioda of Uve to seven years, agreeing on a sum which thè girl’s educatlon and keep would cost. The average priee is SI,OUO, and in order to escape from servitude it has been necessary for a Geisha to pay thè difference between her earnings at thè time of release and thè prlce detemiined. But all of thls will be changed under a decisici* of thè appellato court at Osaka reported by thè cabies, and in thè future when a pretty little Geisha girl wants to don thè kimono of a wife, she can do so ut once, without walting until ber terni ls up. The Japanese court ruling freed thè girls from obligations contracted for them by their parents. Kuwashiina said he would await news from his bome country before predictlng how much intluence thè court’s declalon would have on thè future partlcipiation of Japanese women in natlonal affairs. But thè praciical emar.clpation of 500,000 woinen, he said, could not fall to exert a tremendous effect in thè lite of Japanese women. “Home llfe in Japan is different from that in thls or other countrles," thè consul sold. “The private homes are not so arrar.ged that foreign guest or guasta from other parta of Japan can be entertalned there. The master must arrango thè entertainment for such guests at a restaurant or tea house. As part of thls entertainment he will engagé Geisha girls to pleas hls guests for two or three hours. Hls wlfe does not enter lnto thls at all: she is not thè sort of hostess we have in thls country. “The apprentiee Geisha are taught by their masters to slng, danee, arrango flowers, conversatlon etìquetto —ever>'thing, In fact, that will mako them very pleaalng entertainers. “The girla in thls profession aro moral, though In some of thè stnaller groups their practices may not be up to thè standard maintained by thè higher-class Geisha. But they aro not Immoral women and must not be elassed with thè girl of thè Yoshlwara, who ! bound by pollce regulatlons to remain within thè prescribed area—unless sho is “bought out’ by a man. The Yoshlwara girl also entoro her profession on contraet. Whether thls decìsion will also affect thls class of girl, I a.m not prepared to state.” A Geisha named Kuniwaka, lt is re ported, was responslble for thè court ruling. Kuniwaka fell In love with a poor young mah three years before her seven-year term was up, ahd when she loft her toaster, ho took thè case to court to recover his money. He lost, and hgndreds of thousands of Japanese girls won.

MERCHANDISEIS ACTIVE New Stjles Add lo Heavy Buying by Hetallers. By United Financial NEW YORK, Oct. 20.—Many consumer who held off fllllng their wlntor needs are no weoming fnto tho market for their wlnter wardrobes. Cooler weather ls tho causo of this. In New York, overcoats lead in demand, and retailers prophesy an excellent year. The lack of top coat buying this fall and thè styles of thè last few years. which ran to soft. long napped material., which qulckly iost their spniceness, are factors favoring sales for hte retailer this fall. The woather has also forced thè buying of wool hosiery, which has been lagglng up tlll now. and wool vests and jackots for men continue in poputarity. -■zanufacturers report an increased demand for blankets, especially from thè West, and selling agents are dlsposing of their present stocks at 20 per cent under replacement cost. and clalm that blankets for thè now season will be from 20 to 30 per cent higher in prlce.

At thè end of an hour it was sound that -e letter had traveled exactly 120 miles. garealtìs OKI TWO WOMEN ‘Free Thinking ’Eccentric Has ‘Soul Mate’ and ‘Chaperon’ on His Little Farm, v By UnitedfNeie MIDDLEBORO, Mass., Oct. 2Q.— First a wife, then a “soul mate” and now a “mental mate” has Charles Onrland, free thlnker and eccentric rnUlionalre, VH Brought to his little North Carver farm near here. And with his “mental mate” Garland also has brought a chaperon. The free thlnker who thrilled flapperdoni last year when he discarded his wife for Lillian Conrad. “soul male,” has built another cottage on bis farm where his ‘ mental mate” and chaperon now live. Miss Doris B a nson, 20, a blonde, and former Amherst Agricultural student, is thè “mental rnate,” whlle Miss Alice Edgerton is thè chaperon. And their assoclation ls entirely platonic, Garland says. He is emphatic In that assertion and equally as emphatic in denying a newspaper story that they all live togother under one roof on his farm. “They live In a new house I have put up for them. whlle I occupy thè old place, 200 yards distant,” Garland declared. “1 would let thè world know thè truth about what you cali my ‘free love' ideas, but I refuse to see anybody who has connections with com mereiai interests, as reporter have,” he eontinued. “They want my ideas simply for news, as a commercial proposition, and I won’t talk to them.” Garland was sound working on his farm, clad in a pair of khaki pants, boots and dark shirt. The Misses Edgerton and Benson were in their cottage, a amali wooden affair, putti ng up preserves. Both are young and pretty. They were clad in dark-colored bloomers and black sweater, with V-shaped necks. Both refused to discuss their companionshlp in any way. Mrs. Mary Wrenn Garland, who, sirice her husband deserted her, has been living with her parents in Dedham, departed for Europe Monday for a trip of several months In an effort to “forget.” Meanwhlle thè townsfolk have been discussing Garland’s latest exploit with considerable interest. Chief of Pollce Alden Sission. who last year declared that any attempts by Garland to establish a ‘‘free love” colony, as i*éported, would result in hls arrest, declared to thè Unrted News that he had just returned from a vacation and bidn’t had time to pry lnto Garland’s attalrs. Garland first attracted publie attentior. tvhen he refused a huge fortune left hini by a relative. Later he accepted lt, but during thè past year he is said to have glven away nearly $509,000 of hls inherlted wealth. SELECT KIDDIES’ BOOKS

‘FATALITIES’ BT MARRYING HIT NURSE WS HARD Major Julia Stimson Says More Wed From Service Than Any Other Profession. DISAPPROVES BONUS BILL As Long as Army Remains, Ju*t That Long Will Organization’s Work Continue. Copyright. 1922, By United News WASHINGTON, Oct. 20.—More women marry in tlie nursing profession than In practically any other profession, according to Major Julia Stimson, head of thè Army Nursing Corps. The average loss from this cnuse. she says, is about 50 per cent, ■ind there are never enough nurse. “But many of thè women work aster marriage,” Major Stimson told thè United News, “And of course, thè beauty of it is, they always have their profession, and there is always a demand for it. The work of thè Army Nurse Corps, as Major Stimson described it. is varied as it is valuable. “There is always nursing work to be dona a long as we have armies,” she expia in ed, “For there is always a certain number of slck and injured, not necessarily wounded, among them. The average is 6 per cent. Develop Baby Clinic “In thè army canips we ace just developing work that ls exactly simllar to that In civfl communities. We serve thè wives and families of soldiers, do visitlng nurse work in thè homes of thè troops, which are close by, and we are even instltuting baby clinics. Thls Service is really just beginning, and Camp Meade is thè location of much of thè experlmenting. “Of course there are nurses in Oermany, with thè troops we have left on thè Rhine. (Of thè 21.000 Army nurses. in thè uniform during thè war, 10,000 served overseas.) And then, a certain pereentage of thè nurses. as other offlcers of thè Army, are stiilying in institutions of higher learning.” Major Stimson doese not approve thè bònus. “I don’t believe many of thè nurses want it. either,” she said. “We have done our patriotic duty. We need ho pay for it. Of course, where thè nurses are dlsabled, they are taken care of thè same as thè men who were hurt. “And then thè amount to thè individuai is- so slight in comparison to thè suffering from excesslve taxatlon thè total sum would cost thè country that I believe it is scarcely worth while. “A Federai bonus le a duplieation in many instances. for thè States have, jr.any of thßm, already glven them. I belieie all of them will before talk cf lt ls over. And I know, because thè record of thè nurses are not in thè adjutant generaJ’s office, but right here. When a State bonus ls declared oi;r force has to make out all thè cards. And when we hear of another State giving one we say: ‘Oh, me, more record.’ ”

War Stimulated Interest War stimulated thè interest in th# ccrps, according to Major Stimson, and thè congressional bills granting better pay and relative rank added to thè attraction of thè Service. “Many find it interesting because of thè extremely varied types of persona and work it involves. Work ls dor.e with some of thè best medioal talent in thè country, and there is hope of travel sooner or later. Until thè war, few knew of thè existence of thè Army Nurse Corps or thè Army School of Nursing, which malntains training schools at Walter Reed Hospital in Washington, . C., and in Letterman General Hospital in San Francisco. “Although training In thè army school entails no obligation, of thè 500 grraduated last year, ninety-six were appolnted lnto tbe corps." Major Stimson herself, dean of thè army training school. was a. graduate of Vassar. and holds an honorary D. SC. from Mt. Holyoke. Whlle In thè Army Nurse Corps, in France, she was appointed chief nurse of thè American Red Cross In France and stationed in Paris seven monthd prlor to thè signing of thè armistlce. Early in Novomber. 1918. she was appolnted director of thè nursing Service of thè A. E. F. DEVICE SAVES OIL Invention Said to Selve Problem ot IMucharge From Liner. LONDON. Oct. 20 —Satlsfactory resulta are said to have been obtained by a new invention for solving thè jioblen* of oli diseharge from thè great oil-burning liners, reports thè Westminster Gazette. By adaptation of thè Llnden de-e-intere, origlnally designed for thè handling of sewage and thè purificatlon of water, thè problem of these discharges is said to have been solved. A model plant has been set up. By tho Llnden process all thè di can be separated from thè water by decanterà placed in barge. Thu vessels can diseharge at thè dock or wharfside or at sea, and thè rclaimed oil be returned to thè shlp’9 tanks for future use. As tlie wastage at present amounts in some case* to 5 per cent, this saving is a feature of importance. Recently a bill was passed to compel vessels to diseharge their tanks at sea, but oil continue to find its way shoreward. Liners and battleehips are obliged to take water into their tanks to replace thè liquid fuel used on thè voyage. If thè tankß were not fllled wilh water thè stability of thè vessels would be affected. The motion of thè ship chums this oily water into an emulsion, which constltutea a serious menace to our coasts.
