WOMAN TO WIN MUST
PLAY HER OWN GAME

Chicago, Jan. 25.-Woman has as good
q chance to succeed in life as asman but
she must do it in her own field. Mrs.
Edith Rockefeller Mccormick, former
wife of Harold F. Mccormick and joint
sponsor of the Chicago Opera company,
said today in an address before club
here.
''rhe work of the world is accomplish
ed by two forces, the positive and the
negative" Mrs. Mccormick said Man
is the positive forces woman is the neg
ative. If she would win in the battle
Of life. she must play the game in her
own way.
Women in many ways are constituted
differently than men. If they are to
find happintss, if they are to have poise
and serenity Of soul, they must know
themselves. They must know their lin
itaions and realize their handicaps.
Women represent the rails of rail-
road-the negative force-and man the
engine, or the positive force It is her
ability to bear, as the rails bear the en-
gine, that makes her the counter part
of the male.
woman is made to bear, to sustain
man to be aggressive, self-assertive. He
| is the adventurer It is by being mega
| tive that woman becomes a power. To
| be passive is woman's great forte"
