Encourage Efforts.

But, say the scoffers. haven
women enough already? Aren't they
almost too well represented in at.
fairs, as 1t is? Why. no. When you
come to think Of 1t, who is sim
enthroned on Capitol Hill? Is it not
a shrine erected to our own mascu-
line prowess? One can scarcely say
that women rs yet have any say
In national matters. Only one lone
woman in Congress! What have we
to fear? The idea is too absurd that
women will be at all likely 70 abuse
their new powers. Besides, why not
share the burdens with them, since
they wish to shoulder them? They
have fought for their rights. They
have earned them.
4 Yet, think a moment. History re-
peats itself. And in the past wom-
en- have always shown a tendency
to copy, not to create. They have
inspired men, the artists. But in
their turn, they have seldom de-
veloped great artistic, creative
genius. What woman could be COM
pared with Michelangelo. though
Vittoria Colonna was his inspira-
ton So, let us not criticize. IL they
do not Immediately develop creative
originality. For example, in their
new plans for the Temple Tri-
umphant," how have they pro-
ceeded? Why, they have Dor.
rowed the dome OF the Capital,
their entrance is to be the White
House portico. and the side walls
are to reproduce the classic Gre
clan OF the Treasury's columns, and
so,' Minerals new Temple stands,
an "E Pluribus Unum."
But let us as men not condemn,
for in union there Is strength, and
the women may, In this new ven.
ture, banded together. show a syn.
dicated ability not yet recognized
in the Individual. Mass organiza-
ton may mean creative genius. Let
us encourage their new efforts,
and say. Amen"

Forum"

Perhaps the most delightful fea,
ture of this new Art Center in
Washington will be the open forum
FOR women. Here they may discuss
without prejudice all questions in
which as women they are inter.
ested, and learn how to use more
intelligently their new voting rights
and duties. The Foundation, we
are told. will be divorced from fac.
tionalism Of any kind. It's first
care will be to avoid duplication of
work done by other established
agencies
1T will arouse no jealousies."
says Mrs. Calhoun, because its
ambition. instead Of being govern
ave or power, is to be the servant
OF all entities representing women.
Financial aid for civic betterment
and welfare will be offered through
interest on an endowment fund
made available for use In any
State In proportion as that State
, contributes to the support OF the
Foundation. Worthy enterprises
will be passed upon by the board
Of governors"
An ideal plan! The history of won.
ans work throughout the ages will
be studied, her past mistakes, II
any, will DO detected. analysed and
rectified. in a grand new program
OF womanly endeavor to be devel.
oped.
Nothing is now outside woman's
power" concludes Mrs. Calhoun,
provided the vital need of a univer-
sally respected center of activity is
properly met 30 that there may be
marshaled for the benefit of all the
full resources and strength of her
collective intelligence. The WON.
ans National Foundation. here at
the Nations Capital. in its broad
structure and national and inter
national organization, meets this

BUSINESS NOTES
AND TRADE NEWS
Mild Weather and Poor Heavy
Coat Sales Harbingers Of
i Good Topcoat Trade.

The last few days of warm weather
and the fact that heavier winter coats
have been selling poorly are causing
many retailers to devote more space to
display of topcoats for spring. Re-
tailers believe that there will be good
demand for that class OF merchandise
during the next few months. They base
their opinion on the fact that topcoats
had good sale last year and the fact
that weather conditions to date have
made topcoats much more practical and
useful. If the choice lies between an
overcoat and topcoat the average man
Will choose the latter If weather permits.

Rug Dealer. Di..atisfied.

Considerable resentment is being felt
by rug and carpet dealers against the
provisions Of the new revenue law as they
affect their business The law Is con-
sidered more detrimental to business
than was the one which it supersedes
and dealers generally are firm in the be-
lief that it will have to be repealed or
displaced. The resentment Is particu-
larly apparent among that class of deal
ers who cater to wealthier buyers and
devotees of imported and Oriental rugs.
