the National Women's Trade Union League
declares such an amendment will endHngcr
the existence of all State legislation for the
protection of women.
The one right the extreme fcminiSts ap-
parcntly do not desire to possess is the
right to be protected.

If you have a task to perform, do
it now. You get the task cut OF the
way, but what is far more important.
YOU rise in your own self esteem. You
say, Il have discovered the way to do
it, and [ have found out that I am
capable Of doing it thus"
If you have done q wrong, and feel
that you ought to apologize and atone
for it, you gain nothing but remorse
and self reproach by waiting. 4 hard
but righteous thing is to be done; do
it now.
If you see responsibilities piling ur
ahead of you, so heavy and 50 higt
that you feel like lying down and
making no effort at all, take up the
nearest one, and if possible the hard
est one, and get it out of the way
You will be surprised to discover how
one by one the responsibilities vii
