the psychology Of women. At any rate, Doctor Wilbur has the millions Of
American housewives doing just what the food administration wants them to
d0-saving food.
He has undertaken his work in the true college professor manner. All
of his work has been done from an office. He has been q director Of actvt
ties, and not a leader. He has never chosen to show himself to the public
few Of the American people know that there is such a man In the organization
of the food administration.
There is a bit of the canny in Doctor Wiburs nature. When he found
himself facing the task of organizing the women of America. he decided that
1t took q woman to catch a woman. As a consequence he built his staff of
women. He secured women from far and nea to espouse his cause. AS a
result his campaign seemed to be a campaign for women, managed by women.
But 1T was u man who ran the campaign and a mar who was canny enough
to hide his authority from the women.
