we are in the painful throes OF

hardships and inconvenience Of un-

The tremendous advantages OF nav

Of good roads has been the great

marketing their products. But for
that handicap, Texas might now be
enjoying the anne phenomenal
growth which good roads made pos

will not only contribute a large share
Of the taxes to pay for the high,

This Generations Women Have
Not Had Time to Dig
Deep in Brains
italians Still Feel If You Are
Born a Lady and Work You
Are Not a Lady

New York, Dec -(NEA)-"The
modern woman is to be admired
though too often she is very super
ficial."
That Is the opinion of Fausta Wit
toria Mengarini, herself a modern
and the official sculptress of Italy
Nine. Mengarini, recently arrived in
America, has an exhibition at the
Art Center.
1T is not our fault if some of us
are superficial" she continued. IT
too many women acquire a surface
sophistication, a surface knowledge
and patter, without learning to think
deeply, they are not altogether to
blame.
1T is because our freedom Is SO
new. We have had to fight for every
inch Of ground and use up our en-
ergies in catching up with mems op-
pOrtunitieS. The woman of tomorrow
will have no handicaps whatever
This generations women have not
had time to dig deeply into their
brains and put ..hem thoroughly to
work."
A Good Fight
Nine. Mengarini really speaks for
Italian feminists. For she herself
waged stiffer fight for women than
American women have tasted for q
long time.
At 18 she wanted to enter the Fine
Arts Academy. It was preposterous
at that time, for a girl to attend
public classes. But her father, an
influential Senator and eminent
scientist, arranged it. She was the
only girl student among 5000 males
For the sake of conventions she was
chaperoned to classes every day by q
chambermaid.
Later, in an art competition to
which she submitted a model under
masculine pseudonym. she won the
award but was denied 1t, because she
was woman!
Fortunately Nine. Mengarini's fam
lily approved of her career. In fact
40 years ago her mother was mild
scandal because she had insisted or
an education. The University oi
Rome had refused her-because she
was a woman. But through COM
promise she had been permitted tc
attend biology classes by concealine
herself behind curtain, SO the male
students should not be aware of hel
presence!

Medical authorities now agree
that influenza is a germ disease
most commonly spread by
breathing in the germs. IF the
system is in good shape the
membrane Of the air passages
in q healthy condition these
germs do not usually breed. It
is only when the bodily resist
ance is lowered that the germs
do the most harm.
Start Protective
Treatment at Once
Right now while influenza Is %
prevalent every precaution
should be taken to protect the
air passages. When you feel
one Of these Flu Colds" coming
on don't wait; start the follow
ing treatment at once:
Get a jar Of Vicks vapoR Rub
and place some up each nostril,
or melt some in q bowl Of hot
water and inhale its medicated
vapors. This helps to keep the
air passages in Z healthy con
dition, thus making it difficult
for the germs to breed.
