consolidation of national guard units
under the reorganization plan of the
army, although wherever possible the

Because there doesn't seem TO be any

More and more housewives are following
the plan Of keeping a personally prepared

advantages of such n recipe system is that

DO HER PHYSICAL LIMITATIONS

Conflicting Statements Made by Two Successful

CEVERAL days ago while attending a
~ meeting l heard two women within

opposite opinions as to the status Of the
woman. in business.
One declared that It was mistake TO
imagine a woman could ever take the
place Of man; that her physical llmita-

ton with men; but that she made a most
valuable co.worker.
The other woman stated with convlc-
tion that she did not believe women in

of work whatsoever.
Both of these women were acknowl.
edged successes in their respective voca.
tions. The first speaker was probably

was a woman young and bubblIng over
with enthusiasm.
And therein lay the difference. This
second woman sounded the note Of the
new feministic generation; for her, as for
thousands of girls like her, "there is no
such word as fail"
Formerly in the way some businesses
were conducted quite patiently woman
could not take the place of man. She
could hardly take prospective client out
for lunch or a drink, then talk over the
business in hand over n pair of Havanas
But in the modern, everyday rush of life
few men do business in this way.
After all, there Is just as much place
in any modern office for n clever, efficient
young woman as for the same type of
man.
