Yesterday evening Mr.. y

three people read each newspaper.
A newspaper with a 100000 cir

women OF the country have had the
care of the children and Of their
desire to educate the children. She
said that women are willing TO make
sacrifices for an end that does not
mean personal gain.
II was at this point that Mrs. Park
cited the Federal statistics quoted.
