WOMEN TO USE RADIO #st'
 AS WELFARE WORK AID

WASHINGTON, Feb. 6-Nation wide use of radio to promote com munity betterment and national welfare projects will be inaugu. rated soon by clubwomen.
 With a pledge of active co- operation from the National AS. sociation of Broadcasters, the I'd. dio committee of the General Fed eration of Women's Clubs is mak- ing arrangements to broadcast short talks by club leaders on spe- cial topics of community and na- tional interest.
 Mrs. John D. Sherman, presi. dent of the general federation and chairman of the radio committee, says it is planned to place local radio stations at the service of clubwomen for a reasonable time at no expense to the clubs. When these arrangements are com pleted the committee will draft a suggested general policy con corning the use of the stations for extending club interests and ac- tivities.
 "A new assessment of the place of radio in our community and na- tional life is essential to the sue cess of the nationwide policy which hope to recommend ar the San Antonio convention" Mrs. Sherman declared.
 Radio should not be thought of in terms of a novelty nor in terms of the nonsense that some times comes hurtling through the air, but in terms of it's possibili- ties as unifier of our commun- ity life and as clarifier of state and national problems which can be discussed with us personally, no matter where we live, by the nations master minds.
 Tt become plain early in the study of the radio project that for the general federation to attempt to set up a series of typical ra- dio programs was as ineffective and unsatisfactory as teaching dietetics through series Of menus. The measures which con. mended themselves as feasible concern our attitude toward the possibilities of radio for the de. velopment of community life.

WOMEN BIG FACTOR

NEW YORK-Women have be- come an enormous factor in the clientele of Wall Street. In 9 single month recently women bought more than $100,000,000 worth of bonds alone. according to figures gathered by The Wo. mans Home Companion. More than half of the dividend checks of telephone companies will go to women this year. The same may be said of number of the larger railroad companies.
 In planning sales and advertls- ing campaigns business men have come to regard it as an axiom that 90 per cent of the family ex- penditures are made by women. As a result of this women are coming more and more to be ths. family investors.
