Against American Interests.

This continual belittling of America
and SOOTHING at her ability to assist
China or to stand by her public ideals
and reasons for entering the Euro

Americans must clearly understand
that Japan, through the large num-
Der of papers published in the Chi

cannot combat. Americans never
hear or see these, but we on the spot

1t is getting TO be a common
thing nowadays for a woman to
prove that having a husband. chill
dren and housewifely cares is no
drawback to having a career also.
But it was not quite such an easy
thing to prove, say 20 years ago.
There is one little woman who lives
in Little Rock, Ark, who did it.
Mrs. Bernie Babcock is the wom-
an. She is one of the plain women
whose life has been made up large
ly of the every day duties known to
mothers and home-makers the
world around. She was born in
the small town of KNOXVILLE, Ohio.
and after finishing school in
country village she entered col
lege at the age of II, paying much
of her own way through. She
worked toward her dreamed of
career for a year and then she mar
ried and started a very different
sort of life from the one she had
planned At the age of 20 she
found herself a widow with five
little children to care for.
1t was then she had to combine
home-making and a career. She
did not sing a mournful song and
seek aid from friends and relatives.
She went into the arena and bat
tied for bread and groceries and
school books just as any self-re-
specting man or woman does. She
reported for a daily paper and
mended peck measures full of
stockings. She wrote short stories
and tried to keep track of the gro
Gerry bill. She handled telegraph
news about prize fights and heard
the prayers of small children at
night-in short, she led a combina-
ton life.
During these busy years, Mrs.
Babcock found time. somewhere be
tween night and morning, to write
a few books. Her first story.
heart-rending temperance tale, was
written by the bedside OF a sick
child whom she watched with at
night. This story after appearing
as a serial was put in book form.
Its power to make folks cry was
said to be its secret of success.
Quite a number of books have
been written by this busy wom-
an. but none of them with the pop
