Beatrice Fairfax Writes the Problems and Pitfalls the War Workers
Especially for Washington Women
By T. E. Powers

to seem different and mysterious
and dramatically effective. A
pretty poor thing, on the whole,
for a girl to strive for.
What Does She Lose?
But this is not the whole story.
A woman who pretends she's not
like other women, who refuses to
share the everyday life of other
women, who hasn't any conception
of sex solidarity'Sthat popular
phrase which simply means an all
round loyalty to other women
a woman Of that sort misses one
of the most precious things that
present day women can possibly
know.
This regarding other women
merely as competitors in a life
long game Of entrapping men, is
happily very much out of key with
the life of today. Women who can
think at all, think of other women
as fellow-sharers in a wonderful
new life of opportunity that's
growing wider every day. And
they're very much on their mettle
to show what women can do with
their opportunity. They're i'm
mensely eager to be the best pos
sible kind of mothers and educa-
tors and workers and citizens.
It's a thrilling thing, this being
friends with all other women, this
standing solidly together for the
first time in history. And girls
who are just growing into woman
hood are going to get a great deal
more joy and meaning out of life
if they think and talk and laugh
and vote with other women, than
if they drop out of line and pre-
tend they are something that never
existed, a "man's woman"-an en-
envy to women whom nevertheless
all men admire.
The woman of the near future
won't ever boast of being mans
woman" Nor will she be content
with being a "woman's woman"
either. She will want her list of
friends to include plenty of both
women and men. Too enlightened
to be either a drudge or a "vanfp. I"
too self-respecting to regard other
women as "rivals," or men as econ
quests" she's simply going to be a
warm-hearted, helpful comrade to
other human beings. a

Mr.. Editor:
Il am praying for the arrival Of
July /, for then, as understand it,
the Government will step in be-
tween me and my adversary. For
thirty-five years I have waged q
hopeless and losing fight
The first time was ever drunk
was in my senior year at an East
ern university, when one night a
lot of us boys went out on 'toot.'
The next time was at a brilliant
banquet Of a national convention
of a well-known college fraternity,
where champagne flowed like
water.
when left college l was recog-
nized as one OF the most brilliant
orators in a college of q thousand
students. My only competitor in
oratory then has been in the
United States Senate for twelve
years, and another student, a sec
ond rater, has been in the Senate
four years. When graduated my
college associates expected me
speedily to become a Congressman,
q Governor and U. S. Senator in
rapid succession.
81 went back to my home State,
which happened to be Kentucky. l
tried to drink UP all the whiskey
in Kentucky, which was more Of a
Job than 1 supposed, because a
hundred distilleries could make it
faster than I could drink it. Also
I tried to play all the poker there
was lying around loose.
The result was that instead Of
amounting to something as a law
yer and getting to Be a Senator or
something, l found myself without
q client and all my money gone. 1
had to beat it to another State to
find something to do to make a
living. / have been puttering

complished in life has been to

WYE all know the type Of
w woman whose social
stock in trade is her dis
dain for her own sex.
"All my friends are men," is
the formula she uses. Women
don't interest me-" Her dearest
ambition is to be known as a "man's
woman" She has pitving contempt
for those of her sisters who &C
cept other women as friends.
From her point of view. the mere
recognition of a woman friend is
a confession of failure. It's &C
cepting a substitute for the man
you didn't succeed in attracting.
This Derverse human being is
not, of course, to be COMPOUNDED
for a moment with the woman who
is called "mannish," the woman
who is happiest in a business life,
who makes a point of wearing
tailor clothes on all occasions and
who honestly scorns all feminine
fripperies.
On the contrary, the mans
woman" clings to all the tradi-
tional vanities. Nobody's heels
are as high as hers. nobody's hats
are as studiedly seductive. Her
clothes alone. however. would not
distinguish her. It's her manner
that sets her apart.
Other Women Bore Her.
Upon the broad highways of
the world, in the houses of we'll
meaning people, it's not possible to
avoid other women. But it is
quite possible to be uncivil to
them, to drag out merely a re-
luctant monosvllable in response
to another woman's friendly
greeting. to become 0loomily alb
sorbed in a book if there are only
women in the room, to present
dropping eYelids and a long-suf-
fering mouth until at last a mans
voice is heard outside the door.
And that is, of course, like the
sound of a clarion. It's the sig
nal for complete Transformation.
In an instant, the bored, silent
creature is all animation and chat
ter. For it doesn't make the
slightest difference who the man
is. On the mere ground of his
masculinity, he is worth talking to
and smiling on, he alone justifies
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1919-06-30

her in being as charming and
agreeable as she can.
Such a woman as this has to
have, of course, a pretty strong
belief in her own attractiveness.
She believes also that she recon-
mends herself further to men by
keeping aloof from women, that
this makes her a striking and in
teresting figure. She thinks it
helps her in forming a sort of
tacit conspiracy with the whole
male sex, conspiracy whose OBJ
ject is the suppression of other
women.
you've heard a good deal about
the weaknesses and pettinesses of
women" is what she practically
says to men. 81 assure you it's
all true. And it bores me quite
as much as it can bore you. You
see, Pm not that common place
sort Of woman. Pm a woman who
really understands men. So come
and talk to me about anything you
like and III listen to you and flat
ter you as long as you can stand
it."
Pose and Pretense.
A pose? But of course it is a
pose, and a pose of the most ex-
travagant sort. A woman who
poses to this extent really can't
have any legitimate occupation.
Living up TO the character she has
invented for herself, absorbs all
her time and energy. You may
be sure that she works at it dill
gently seven days a week. You
never find her off her guard.

TODAY'S TOPIC
"a MANS WOMAN"

1t seems an absurd and pitiful
procedure. And yet-there is al
ways a chance that some young
girl with a dramatic sense may
seize upon this pose with the i'm
pulse to initiate it. Before that
happens, wish she would let me
tell her what it all amounts to.
Championship with men Is an
excellent, wholesome thing for any
woman, if it comes about spon-
taneously, naturally. But friend
ship, if it can De called friend
ship, that's obtained by seizure, so
to speak. and that's combined with
a treacherous attitude toward all
other women, is by no means
worth having. If a woman sac
rifices everything else in order to
make herself amusing and enter
tanning and sympathetic to men,
admit that men will allow them
selves to be amused and entertain
ed and sympathized with. They
won't run away. But they won't
be deceived for a moment They
can't help understanding the
tactics of the mans woman" for
these are so obviously displayed.
And in their hearts they secretly
despise her for not being true and
loyal and square.
So that companionship with peo-
pie who despise you, who think you
are false and unreal, is hardly a
thing to give up your life to, even
if specifically it does seem to
place you in a temporary soclai
spotlight, even if it does help you

For The General Good.

The practice to-day tends to
avert ills and minimize obsta-
cles, thus giving nature, includ-
ing climate, a fairer chance.
Not so much to keep the doctor
(but sickness) away. What
cannot be cured may be pre-
vented. Sound foresight, re-
sponsibility and skill, are great
est advantage, on emergensy in
every Cay life, or in travel. Dir
ectories now show light on all
points and places. Possibly the
doctor may know or find out
ask him anyway. For example;
samples and patterns on dressings
with tapes, not pins and all mod
ern ideas, are now in up-to-date
doctor S offices: may be had or or
dered in local stores, when
known. About half the people
seem to think the doctor has to-"
come, with no say so about pre-
arranged best conditions. This
is a mistaken idea. The respon-
sibility is on all, each to his tai
ents. Tender of pay not always
privileges command" I" 1t is
deplorable to have emergency
and not preparedness the rule
which is best for all. Nothing
in backbiting. There is some
thing in consistency with your at
titude and speech. Let this be
your resolve after 1919. Rep'y,

MANY CITIES AND
TOWNS A SUCCESS
Municipal Ownership A Good
Investment With Economic
Saving Features.

T he Manufacturer" San
Francisco's official organ of the
Merchants and Manufacturers
Assn of the Pacific Coast, pub
lished by Hofer & Sons, never
loses an opportunity to Cenounce
municipal ownership of public
utilities as "a fraud, a delusion
and asnare, +" whereas it is a sig
nificant fact that not one mum
cipally-oWned plant in the State
Of California during 1918 was
compelled to put on surcharge.
Whenever it has been tried, the
almost universal success of mum
cipal ownership shows conclusive
evidence of possibilities towards
effecting a reduction in the cost
of municipal government. The
Tucson Post in voicing these
sentiments, points to the fact
that last year the city of Alameda
not only maintained the lowest
lighting rates around the bay,
but also turned over $50, 900 pro-
fit into the general fund, beside
lighting all the streets Of the city
with its electrolier system. Is
there any reason why the other
cities and towns of this state may
not do likewise?
This brings to view the fact
that Wickenburg's municipal light
and water plant is gradually pro-
crossing. The report by the
town mayor at last meeting was
to the effect that the November
income from consumers was
nearly double that of the cores
ponding month in 1918.
While we have not yet reached
the profitable stage of older and
better equipped municipal plants,
it is confidently asserted that,
with the correction and improve
ment of a few minor details in
mechanical equipment, Wicken-
burg may also expect soon to
show a profitable record.
Only twice in the fiscal year
has the local lighting plant been
closed down even for a few min
utes. The electrically operated
water plant, owing to defec-
tive mishap, was only once in
1919 out of commission for per-
iod of three or four days.
