MEANS THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS By MELLIFIOIA. Wednesday, April 8, 1914. Lb missionaries to China arc not old, care-worn, gray-haired and A angular women. MIbs Frances Taft, who was tho guest last evening of Mrs. C. "W. Hayes, president of tho Omaha Woman's club, being associated with .Mrs. Hayes sister, MIbs Uuth Paxson In Young Women's Christian association work in Shanghai, detroyed any such Impression quito effectively. Miss Taft is young, blue-eyed and golden-haired and decidedly attractive, 'besides being a very efficient worker in her field of activity, which necessarily includes an extensive knowledge of tho Chinese language. Miss Taft was born in China, hor parents being missionaries, but wa.i educatod In this country, having graduated at Wellesley. She has re turned to this country for a visit with her parents in Now York City, and also to visit a number of universities, where sho will present tho subject of Young Women's Christian association work In China. Sho ' will bo married in August at Miss Ifexson's cottage In Shnnghal to a follow worker in Young Men's Christian association circles. . Miss Taft declared tho Chinese to be n most admirable people. "You cannot assume a condescending attltudo toward thorn and treat thorn as 'poor heathen,' as they excel in perseveranco and stlck-to-it-lvcnuss even the Americans. Their accomplishments in the short space slnco the In troduction of European ideas are marvelous." The coast cities, according to Miss Taft. are decidedly -up-to-dato with tholr trolley cars, telephones, gas and electric devices. "When you aro insido your home you can't toll whether you aro In Shanghai or Chicago," she said. "Of course, In tho interior these condi tions do not obtain, even tho practice of foot-binding and compulsory mar riages not having been done away with." Mi sb Taft told of the revolution in the Chinese language which wan being accomplished since the Influx of Americans and Europeans. Tho Chinese language, which is conceded to bo ono of tho most difficult, con tains 40,000 characters, so that very fow people, even tho native Chinese, ever master it, but the newest development is a languag of jbilt 600 char acters, which makes the task of learning tho language infinitely less dif ficult. Miss Ruth Paxson Is accomplishing splondld results in hor field, of work, besides very creditably mastering tho Chinese language, for the spaco of three years that she has been In China.

A reduction In freight rates on lum ber from the Pacific coast country to points on the Missouri river just agreed to by the railroads Is to mean thousands of dollars to the lumber men of Omaha and Nebraska.
