THE ESCAPE OF A
CHINESE PROSTITUTE
(Gardner L. Harding in World Out
look For February.)
Against the grimness of the coun
terfeit gaiety of the night life of
Nanking and Koochow Roads in
Shanghai I hold a recollection that
Hashes through those tawdry streets
like a torch in the night. I can still
see a little crowd of furiously hurry- |
ing people that broke across my path
one evening.
In front of them was the flying fig
ure of a girl, her little silken coat torn i
and hanging by one shoulder. She!
was ten paces ahead of her pursuers!
as she passed me, her little face drawn i
and blanched wih terror and exhaus
tion.
Fortunately, her pursuers were not
ngile. A stout madam hobbled along;
on little feet; two burly men in blue i
peasant clothes lumbered along beside !
her, apparently the major-domos of
her establishment. And all two ap-1
parently, the scudding little miss i
ahead was a very recent inmate of:
that est- blishment, launched on a gal- i
lant and desperate break for free
dom.
The crowd parted like sheep. A
few heads turned around out of
curiosity, but none out of sympathy.

JMONDAY EVENING, HAKRISBITRG TELEGR2IPE FEBRUARY 12, 1917.
| The pursuers swept by. Suddenly
I the girl turned under a bright street
. light and began to pound with both
■ i fists against a kind of matchboard
, doorway. A tall Sikh policeman
started across the street from his
traffic post on the opposite corner.
Then the crowd closed in and it was
all blur.
When I got to the fragile doorway
under the light the girl was gone and
the Sikh policeman was dispersing the
crowd. They scattered quickly, all
but the stout woman and her two
strong men. The woman scolded ve
hemently and viciously shook her list
at the sign above the doorway through
which her victim hail escaped. Then
the policeman "moved her on" in true
Occidental fashion and the incident
! seemed to be closed. 1
This was my first view of the Door
; of Hope, the expressive name that
I has grown up around one of the most
| consecrated missionary works in
; modern China. It is a refuge from
| tlie life of the -etreets that has been
; sought in its six years of dramatic
; ' xistence by more than a thousand
Chinese women.
RESCUING GIRLS IV SHANGHAI
| (Gardner L. Harding in World Out
look For February.)
The little Door of Hope on the Foo
chow Road is only a receiving "home i
lor girls who escape from a life of
shame. The real work of the institu- i
tlon is done at the Industrial Home, i
a wide veranda-surrounded frame !
;| building in a suburb just outside of!
Shanghai. The Mixed Court, or joint ■
Chinese and foreign board of magis-i
trates, has officially recognized the
enterprise with a number of generous ]
granjs, and since 190G has invested ;
| 11.200 a year on its obvious influence I
] for perm,am nt social betterment.
Ihe number of girls in the home !
I fluctuates from 12". to 200, a small l
cupful from Shanghai's well of 5,000
| professional women of the streets, 1
It is true (to which should be added' l
,0 00 or C.OOO more voluntary, or or- j
j casional, night-women); but more'
significant when you remember that, i
in all, well over a thousand girls can !
now be counted as satisfactorily placed
in respectable life,
i The soundness of the Door of Hope, i
ne\t to the trtiiy Christian consecra- !
tion of its effort, is its most note
worthy characteristic. It is based on
a btoad and catholic foundation
among the forces for civic decency in
Shanghai. Miss Cornelia Bonnell
I first started it in 1901, nnd its active
management is exclusively mission- I
ary. Hut Chinese assistance has been '
absolutely indispensable.
The receiving home in Foocliow!
Load wus a Chinese idea and was
, put through by Chinese donations. 1
Chinese co-operation finally drove '
j out the depraved custom of lending I
i night-women through the streets on
men's backs, and put the ban on the
employment of the hordes of children
that in the old days made the traffic
a thousand times more hideous still, !
while Chinese-enforced laws protect I
these reforms with the sanction of I
educated official opinion.

PROFIT-SHARING
FOR P. R. R. MEN
E. Clarke Fowler Tells What
It Means to Employes;
Paying Plans
Opportunity for Pennsylvania rail
road employes to buy stock and sharo
in prolits has stirred up Interest. Tlans
were explained Tuesday night at a mu
tual meeting by Superintendent \V. B.
McCaleb and Treasurer James If. TJnn
of the Mutual Beneficial Association bf
Pennsylvania Railroad Employes. 10.
Clarke FoWler In yesterday's Philadel
phia Press says:
"The plan of the
Mutual Beneficial Association of Penn
sylvania Railroad Employe#, whereby
employes may purchase stock of the
company on the Instalment plan, may
be the beginning of an Idea which will
germinate In the I'ennsyU'ania railroad
Itself establishing a profit-sharing
scheme, such as has been developed
with great success by the United Stages
Steel Corporation and other industrial
concerns, large and small.
"At the annual meeting of the share
holders of the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company, next month, they are to be
asked to authorize an Increase In In
debtedness of $75,000,000. While It is
generally believed the company will
finance Itself for the year through the
sale of general mortgage bonds, ru
mors have been heard that a stot-k al
lotment may be Included in the financ
ing. There is $100,000,000 of stock au
thorized, which can be disposed of by
the board at its discretion.
InMiilment I'lnn
| "The proportionate amount of stock
which each employe would be allowed
to subscribe for would be dependent
Gpon his earnings, and the company
could f.ollow the suit of the Steel Cor
poration and allow the men to pay for
the stock In Instalments covering a
period of, say two years. They wo.uld
be charged Interest on the unpaid bal
ances and credited with dividends as
paid. The dividends would about offset
the Interest changes, An arrangement
could also be made with the consent of
th# men whereby payment could be
made monthly by deducting the amount
of the monthly payments from their
wages.
While this would to all gencrnl re
spects he a decrease in the wages of
the workers, it would tfiean a saving
to that extent, and thrifty workers
would lind that they could got along
with the smaller pay envelope. Then
at the cud of the two-year perlc 1 the
company would turn over to them the
i stock, fully paid, anil lliey would have
ja working asset, each share bringing
them in $2 a year. Hy buying the stock
j at par this would mean a six per cent.
! Interest on their savings.
SHOPMEN GET EXTRA HOI K
Tamaqua, Pa., Feb. 12.—Owing to
the fact that agents of the Interstate
Commerce Commission had "shopped"

hours, .the force being augmented by
machinists from the shops at Heading.
So great is the traffic congestion due
to lack of locomotives the company la
putting forth every effort to get them
in shape. Siding's all along the Sha
mokin division yards arc lillcd with
freight.
