SOCIETY FASHIONS THE BROOKLYN DAILY EAGLE EDITORIAL SOCIETY FASHIONS NEW YORK CITY. SUNDAY. SEPTEMBER 4. 1910. THREE OUTINGS IN HOP FIELDS LURE MANY FROM CITIES Entire Families Spend Profitable Vacations on Vine-Clad Farms.

THE WORK IS NOT ARDUOUS. Picking Time Proves Gala Period to Workers From Factories and Shops. Within the next two or three weeks the season of hop gathering in New York State will be on in full swing. Hundreds of thousands of bushels of the product will be picked from the fragrant vines and shipped by carloads to all sections of the country to be made into yeast, or brewed into liquor as the case may be. Beginning this week, eager to reach the rolling farms of the hop grower, will be a great outpouring of people, from New York City and from big factory towns like Troy, Gloversville, etc.

Hop time to these people of the cities means a two or three weeks vacation at good pay, with board and lodging free. The practice of leaving the crowded city to spend a week or two in the country hop-picking has been growing rapidly in New York City, in recent years. Men who earn fair wages and are able to support those dependent on them in comfort, but at the same time are not financially able to send their loved ones to the seashore or other resorts during the hot months, are becoming more and more pleased with the hop- picking vacation scheme every season. Hop-time is a season of fun and frolic for everybody but hop grower and his wife, for whom the word hops is a synonym tor work. From the time of the first plowing out 10 the spring until the product of the vines is delivered to the buyer, the hop yard, whether it covers four acres or forty, 1s field of unde ending labor, as well as a source of constant anxiety.

After the tying begins All unceasing fight against weeds and mould blight, and back of it all is 'the ever -present fear that hops may not fetch a price and all the work go Yor nothing. At this season in the hop country the weather is usually perfect; the mornings have a touch of the sharp sweetness of autumn, at noon day the sun shines warm without the scorching heat of midsumaner, and at night the moon lends a glamor to the most commonplace surroundings. But the hop grower is a pesstinist in regard to the weather. Every night he sees a ring around the moon, and every pleasant day he looks upon as weather breeder. But to the city folk pho come to pick the hops the season means nothing but the beginning of a 'pleasant holiday.

Work in the Hop Field Is Pleasure to Pickers. The children or the pickers look forward to the outing for months. The work 1s not hard. The youngsters treat it more like play and are more than recompensed by the merry-making that usually follows the day's labor. In many instances the parents allow the children to keep the funds they are paid for the work for spending money during the coming winter.

There are three different grades of hop pickers, home pickers, town pickers, and "bums." The "bums" are simply a means to an end, and it is only the large hop growers who employ them. They have many acres in hops, and it is necessary that the work of harvesting shall be done in as short a time as possible, so they gO out in the byways Lind gather in the tramps--otherwise, the "bums." These "bums' are not particular. They eat on long tables built in the cooking shed and they are housed sometimes in the barn and sometimes in rough shanties with bunks along the walls. They are a fairly peaceable crowd, usually minding their own business, although sometimes they raid a nearby cornfeld or henroost. but, obeying an unwritten law, they never touch anything belonging to their employer.

On Saturday they receive their earnings for week, and many walk to the earest town to leave all their money in the till of the hotel keeper. When the hop picking is over they BO their way, sually with empty pockets, bound for the apple orchards of -western New York. After the harvesting 1s over they drift back to the city until it is time to take to the road in the spring. All through the hot months the city Dickers look forward to the hop picking, to the sunny September days that will be spent in the open, away from the dust and heat of the factory, between the long POWS of garlanded poles, under a roof green vines hung thick with the scented hop clusters. Hop Picking Appeals to Workers as a Business Propositicn.

Aside from its enjoyable features, hop picking appeals to them as a business proposition, for the hop grower pays their railroad fare one way. boards them and gives them forty cents for every seven bushels of hops they strip from the vines. (Ten days or two weeks' vacation with pay and board and lodging free! What more can one ask? And with the girls it often leads to other things, very Important VIEW OF SECTION OF A BIG HOP FIELD. things, for Cupid is extra active under the light of the harvest moon. The home pickers are those who live so nearby that they sleep in their own homes.

The younger ones among them join in forces with the town pickers, and many nights find them dancing under the light of the swinging lanterns hung from the rafters of the barn or hop house. A violin or two, and sometimes a mouth organ, furnishes the music, but in these days the phonograph is often called into service. The heartaches that grow from these evenings are not few, for the country lad is very apt to neglect his old sweetheart for the smiles of some town girl, and, on the other hand, the country maiden does not neglect the opportunity of exercising her fascinations on the young man from town, But hop time is not always sunshine and fair weather. There are days when the sull hides the light of its countenance behind leaden clouds, from which the rain falls steadily, turning the soft brown earth to sticky mud, and there are mornings when one must leave a warm comfortable bed the cold. foggy hop yard, where one seems to stand ankle deep in mud, and the dampness seems to penetrate straight to the bones.

But by and by, the sun emerges from the fog bank and the tonic of the hops makes one forget the discomfort of the morning, and all one's mind is taken up in listening for the dinner horn. DR. COHEN GRADUATES. His Service as House Surgeon at E. D.

JAPANESE WOMEN MAKE THEIR NATION PROGRESS Wonderful Advance of Nippon Due to Self Sacrifice of Her Daughters. WORK AT MANUAL TASKS. Fair Sex of Island Kingdom Is Tak- ing the Place of Men in Trades. Such vigorous effort is being made by the wily Japanese to make their faraway nation one of the world's great powers that her strides toward that coveted position is a matter of concern to the entire civilized world. The little empire is intensely patriotic from the children in the streets to men and women of the wealthy classes.

lt is about this marvelous patriotism and in particular that of the women that this story has to deal. The women of Japan are making the country what it Is. noted Japanese financier, in talking this condition, "The women of Japan have the love of country so deeply imbedded in their hearts that they are willing to take the places of our men while the latter study and fit themselves for better things. men of this country are going in for the professions, for more complicated labor. They are studying electrical engineering, ship building; they are becoming chemists, doctors, dentists, mathematicians.

They are going into the iron industry, and making it a scientific study. Engineering engages their attention. men of the country are no longer satisfled to dump coal and dig in 'the mines. It is their duty to take up the higher lines of work. To-day you will find our young men studying in the colleges of the United States, England, Germany and France.

You will find them working in the shipyards of the United States. You will find them in the steel mills. They are preparing to make Japan great, fit to take her place commercially with other nations." One need only to visit Japan to find the truth of this man's statement. On hot, sizzling days in summer and blizzardy days in winter women work as coal heavers at Nagasaki. Early each morning the women and girls of Kogakura, in Shikimi Fukuda travel by road or boat to that city.

Coal is brought from Takishima, Shijmoscki and Takasaka on lighters. These are towed alongside the ships and the day's labor begins. Another industry which of recent years has been monopolized largely by women is the Ashing trade. The fisheries form one of the most important and proftable industries in the country; the product of dried fish in one year amounted in value to $6,106,900, in fish oil to 430, and table salt, $4,713,415. The total value of marine products amounted to $16,362,705, and the takes of fish to $28,416,515.

Along the coasts you will see thousands of women engaged in fishing. From March to May they engage in catching herring. In one year the value of these fish amounted to nearly $4,000,000. Sardines, bonita, tunnies, cod, mackerel and lobsters are among the fish caught In great quantities. The sardine brings Japan about $3,700,000 annually, and the bonita $2,000,000, Women Sail the Seas in Fishing Boats Out in the boats on the seething waters women draw the nets.

Many Prominent Men of Brooklyn and New York, in Old Days, Were John's Patrons. Many years ago, when The Brooklyn Daily Eagle office was on Fulton street, near Fulton ferry, a number of its attaches patronized John Anton, who for forty -six consecutive years has conducted a barber shop at 7 Front street, just within walking distance of the old Eagle building.

When a "Katzenjammer feeling" came over a regular patron of the little shop he found in Anton a friend who knew how to reduce the swelling of the cranium and to send the afflicted one back to his work feeling as fresh as the proverbially spotless daisy. Yes, John Anton had a knack of doing such things, and now that he is going to celebrate to-day his golden wedding day, he would like all of his former patrons, those who knew him in the spring time of his business career, to know that he recalls all of them with pleasure and that he truste they have not forgotten him. In the old days Anton employed six assistant barbers, but the opening of the Brooklyn Bridge knocked his business into smithereens, but John has remained at the old stand, and though he reached the the the age of seventy-five years on August 11, of this year, he, unassisted, attends to the wants of such old patrons as may take the trouble to journey to his shop and to the few transients who happen in. Some of those whom Anton recalls as patrons in the yesterday of long ago were Boss McLaughlin, ex-Mayor Daniel Whitney, Rev. Henry Ward Beecher, former Judge, now Mayor Gaynor, Judge Moore, Congressman Clancy, Senator McCarty and Mr.

Roebling, who built the Brooklyn Bridge. Another man whom Anton knew was Bill Tweed, who with the aid of the Society of Tammany, ran New York elty. Anton was born on August 11, 1835, In Germany, but objecting to service in the army of the fatherland, he skedaddled to America. Shortly after his arrival he married Elizabeth, the wife of his golden wedding, in New York city, and later he opened his barber shop on Front street, threw the key away and has never been able to find it since. Anton was a member of the Order of Redmen for twenty-nine years, and the Herrmann Sohn for twenty-seven years.

Mr. and Mrs. Anton are wonderfully preserved and spry. At their golden wedding to-day they. are to have three chil- Leet In every detail the Leading Retail Establishment of Brooklyn.

In the marshes and bars you will see them working, too. An idea of the extent of the industry may be grasped when the fishing boats in use number 420,000. But it is not in the coaling and fishing industries that the women have made the most notable advancement in the work of their country.

Rather have they made the most astonishing invasion in the field of manufacture, in the mills and factories. at the looms, and in the making of small articles of merchandise, With the wheat fields of Manchuria at her disposal and the agricultural facilities of Korea to draw upon, Japan has make of her own country a manufacturing center in the world's market. New silk mills are being constructed daily, umbrella factories turn out rain protectors for Europe, soap factories are busy, as are the shops used for the manufacture of leather goods, cotton materials, clocks, etc. An era of industry is well under way. But while the men, often under the' direction of foreign engineers and architects, are putting up buildings.

the women are doing the work in the newly erected factory, putting together dainty bits of bric-a-brac, furniture, weaving carpet, spinning silk and designing toys. Women Monopolize Umbrella Industry. An Important and proftable industry monopolized by the women Is the manufacture of umbrellas. Enter a factory, rows upon rows of women dressed in modest kimonos, with sleeves rolled up, put together the wire ribs, cover them with silk, often embroidering the covers with the delicate imageries for which Japan is noted. The export of umbrellas has increased to $691,237, from practically nothing in 1885.

Visit the match factories you will find women dipping matches and enabling the country to export nearly $5,000,000 worth within one vear. Matting is shipped to Europe and America, bringIng into the country more than $2,000.000. Plaited straw made by the women brings an equal amount of money. And leather goods, including pocketbooks. purses and satchels, turned by the dainty hands of women, increase the country's income by more than half a million.

In the rice districts of Nippon you will often find women plowing knee deep in water covered land. The rice farm is cut up into patches, and inundated. Rice thrives only when the field is covered with six inches or more of water. Diffleult work this, but, when the soldiers were fighting. the wives and daughters gladly went to the fields, Japanese women labor in the tea fields and tea houses, and the income, exceedIng $6,000,000 from this industry, Is largely creditable to them.

So in all the important industries of Japan the women are doing astonishing work. Not only in the factories, mills and fields, but in the schools, in hospitals, in the realm of art. During the Russo-Japanese war 10,000 women were ready to volunteer for service. To-day they teach in the schools and nurse in the hospitals, They dominate the stage, where Japanest art is especially influenced by foreign nations. ANTIETAM DAY.

Congressman Sulzer to Be the Orator at Prospect Park, Saturday, September 17, President P. M. Munro of the War Veterans and Sons' Association has completed his arrangements for an unusually effective celebration of the anniversary of the Battle of Antietam, which will be held in the music grove, Prospect Park. and on the adjacent common, through the courtesy of Deputy Park Commissioner Kennedy, on Saturday afternoon, September 17, beginning at 2.30 o'clock. The exercises include a military concert by Shannon's Regiment Band; oration Villiam Sulzer, "went M.

The reviewing officer, Alfred E. Steers, President of the Borough of Brooklyn; presentation of a gold prize to the cadet company showing best on parade and review. gift of the War Veterans and Sons' Assocation; presentation by Borough Prestdent Steers: evening gun and lowering of the flag.

Captain John W. Nutt will act as general marshal of the day. It is expected that General BadenPowell, the hero of Mafeking and organIzer of Boy Scouts in Great Britain, will be present on the grand stand and in the field. He is now In Canada. He is much interested in the boys' military movement in the United States, and this will give him a fine opportunity to judge of the efciency of our cadets.

Surprise has sometimes been expressed that the Battle of Antietam is one regularly chosen by the War Veterans and Sons for this anniversary instead of one of the decisive battles of the War of the Union. The reason is that the great battles of Vicksburg, Gettysburg, were fought in the hot days of midsummer, when the weather is considered too hot to ask the great crowds that attend these celebrations to attend, and further, that so many people get away from the city at that time. The generally beautiful weather of September has been proved more acceptable and enjoyable, and the mass of the people, having returned from their vacations, are both in numbers and spirit ready for such an anniversary. MISS ROUNDS CONVALESCING. Miss Rounds, the head of the wellknown school of that name on Clinton avenue, has been in Richfeld Springs this summer convalescing from the severe attack of sciatica she had in the spring.

Her girls and many friends will be delighted to see her at the opening of school on September 22 in renewed health and again in full charge of affairs. PLANS AT ATLANTIC CITY FOR BIG G. A. R. PARADE Grant Post of Brooklyn to Be Personal Escort to Commander-in-Chief Van Sant.
