SAYS U. S. WOMEN HAVE
ADVANTAGE OF ENGLISH

LONDON, May 16.-American
women have much better oppor.
tunities to carve a career for them.
selves than their English counter
parts. in the opinion of Mrs. Nc
Berry, prominent member Of the
engineering trade in Ohio and now
in London to represent American
women at the international con-
ference of the Women's Engineering
Society.
The reason for this is that the
American husband is less selfish
than the English husband, accord
ing to Mrs. McBerty. who thinks
that the English are mistaken in
bringing up their boys and girls
apart in different schools instead
of letting them play and work to-
gethar in their school years.
