 -.Of America-

 me, the most influential woman in America. That is, she could do suc- cessfully anything she would under take. Her name is known everywhere. She has money, and what is even more important, she has the marvellous Nor gan mind. She sees things in the large. Small things do not interest her Just givin gmoney doesn 'tappeal to her.. She wants the pull and the tug of things. She wants to feel things hap pening. No long distance philanthropy for her j. Anne Morgan thinks in terms of millions The way she spends money when she gets started would scare any average woman's club cold. She knows that to make money you've got to spend money, and that is something most women haven't found out. To interest her a .'cause" must not only be, big, it must be dramatic. Having made up her mind that thing should be done, she decides in her own mind how it should be done, then she hires brains to work out the details. And having hired the best brains she can buy, she lets them alone. She is one of the few women who know how to delegate details. She simply won't bother with them. She uses her en- ergy for the bigger things, just as men do.
 Yes, if we could get Anne Morgan's mind working on some of our great problems, something would happen. she has finished her big job in devas- tated France she is all ready for some thing else. What is it. goin gto be? Some say romance is flirting with her. don't know. One never can tell. She never was a wall-flower.
 She Can Outwork A Dozen
 Anne Morgan did big job in France. She could find more things | to do and more ways to do them than ten average people could have thought of.
 Soon after she began her work some one discovered that there were no cook ing vessels in France, and that same somebody told Anne about it.
 Well, all right" she said, well re-kitchenize France" And so they did.
 Also somebody discovered that there were no chickens in France after the war, and somebody told her about that, | too.
 "All right" she said, "then we'll re- chickenize France"
 And bravely they started in. But, all unknown to Anne, that campaign came very near coming to grief, all be- cause of over-enthusiasm on the part of one of the promoters.
 It happened this way. This promo ter persuaded a magazine to get behind this worthy movement to re-chickenize France, and Maria Thompson Daviess, who had just got on the best seller list with ''The Melting of Molly" was in duced to help the cause by writing about it. The scheme was for every reader to give a dime to buy an egg for an incubator in France. So. many dimes would mean an incubator full of eggs, and so many incubators full of eggs would mean a chicken farm, and incidentally job for a disabled soldier. After a while the donor must give twenty-five cents ito feed the chicken" and so the scheme went.
 Well, the dimes and the quarters l could realize it several chicken farms were in full swing in the devastated areas of FraneSs% So far so good. The scheme was working in tip-top fashiin whe nsuddenly something happened to give it a setback. After all, an egg l in an incubator in France wasn't any thing to get excited over, and some thing must be done to keep the interest from tagging. So a very attractive button wasS designed and every donor received one.
 But It Wasn't Meant That Way For a time all went well. But after while the boys who had come back from France began to sport those but tons in their lapels. It didn't appeal to wives and sweethearts. The buttons said, in red letters on a cream white background, T have a chicken in France"
 You could understand how some of the wives and sweethearts felt about it. Anyway, in order to save the situa- tiOn, Anne Morgan ordered several thousand of those buttons scrapped. Things looked dark for a time, but meanwhile the eggs began to hatch and her dream came true. France really was re-chickenized.
 The best and most striking example of the Morgan feminine mind in ac- tion is in the so-called Good Will Tours" to France. This was her very own idea. It should be a lesson to the women who are worrying along with little schemes.
 She figured in cold blood one night that she needed just about a million dollars to finish what she had started in France. And she needed that mill lion right away. The American peo- pie had already obeyed6 the injunc- tions to "give until it hurts.'
 Knowing that, she decided forthwith that no two-by-four scheme would do. It must be something quite out of the ordinary.
 She got some figures that showed
