WOMEN OF AMERICA
DECLARED LOAFERS
COULD NOT WORK IF THEY
WANTED TO, WOMAN
DOCTOR SAYS.

Chicago, Ill.,, June l2.-American
women, speaking generally, were
declared to be ''loafers, struggling
along in highheeled shoes and un-
able TO work even il they wanted
to-" by DR.. Esther Lovejoy, for
mer health commissioner of Port
land, Ore, in an address to the
Medical Women's National AsSo-
citation.
While the women OF France and
England are staggering along over
there under the awful loads imposed
by the war, the women OF America
are going about in high-heeled
shoes wanting to be entertained by
the story of the conflict she said.
DR.. Lovejoy, who has just re-
turned from six months visit to
France, declared that the women Of
Germany made possible the progress
of the war, for she said. IF the
women of Germany had lain down
their arms and ceased doing the
work Of the men the war would
have been over long since.
Here the big thing is for the
women to replace the men in order
that our full man power may be
sent to the aid of the allies. The
Southland is crying for harvest
hands, a splendid place for women
golfers and tennis players, for we
only have to be as good as our
grandmothers, who made this great
land for US to loaf in.
IF the women OF America would
wear winter clothing in winter there
would be no call for fuelless Mon
DAYS. and this is one of the days in
which the women OF America can
help win the war. But no, they
sit around in clothing fit only for
the hot dog days and burn tons OF
coal to keep them warm, thus
wasting coal to preserve the die
tates OF fashion,
DR.. Lovejoy then spoke OF the
"Esthers of France declaring that
the Germans, having found them
selves unable to conquer the men
of that nation are ow trying to con-
quer its mothers. More than $50
900 girls over 10 and bos7 over IA
years of age have been detained by
the Germans in the seized provinces
of France.
"Three rules govern the Ger
mans in the retention OF the civil
population" she declared. Those
retained must be of value for fight
ing. labor or breeding, ! know 1t
is shocking to talk about women IN
this way, but | tell you that the peo-
pie of America must know these
things and be strong enough to
know them now
