Insurance or Real Estate.

often it is said that selling insurance
or real estate is the last resort OF a
business woman. We disagree with
that view entirely. Both fields offer
as much to a woman as any other, and
the fact one may enter them late in
life with hopes Of success enhances
their value.
There is a personal side to both in
surance and real estate that helps to
make them fields for women. Who bet
ter than a woman knows the need
of providing for the future, and who
knows better than q woman the es-
Sential needs of q home?
A certain amount of transformation
about the financial possibilities Of either
field may be cleared up here. Insurance
is one of the most ,difficult fields. More
women drop out in the second year
of their work than drop out in any
other field. The first year usually is
easy, and so misleading.
Real estate Is q test OF thrift as well
as of business ability. Commissions
are unequal and irregular, and woman
to be successful must estimate her
earning capacity with some accuracy to
i've withinrI1er. means One large COM
mission has started many q woman on

BeIted Goats for New Season
BY MARY MARSHALL.

Usually there are slender strands OF
silk at the sides to keep the belt IN
place, but to make for greater security
it is a good plan to provide two addi-
tional strands of silk at the back slightly
to the side. These filaments may be
made by crocheting a chain of single
stitches from silk to match the dress
and attaching the ends, just above and
below the belt position.

Never were belts more attractive in
appearance nor more tempting-and
never were they more difficult to wear.
Save by those who affect the f1apper
fashion of drawing in their belts at a
really normal position, belts are worn
directly at the top of the hips, and to
induce a separate belt to retain this
position requires considerable skill.
Wide belts are easier to manage than
the very narrow belts and many OF this
sort are now to be seen in the smart
shops. They are especially liked for
wear over the waistband of the skirt
worn with a tuck-in blouse.
Many of the new coats for Autumn
are belted, especially those for sports
and all-weather wear. The rather
closely drawn belt gives increased trim
ness to the coat. breaks the line that
makes long coats sometimes unbecom-
ing to tall women and also helps dis

MISSIONARIES

Every American is at heart an evangelist wrote a
French traveller after a visit to the United States.
He spoke OF American protcstants as imbued with q
missionary spirit that is typically Anglo-Saxon, appar-
emily forgetting that Catholic missionaries. imbued with
the same spirit, evoked the valleys Of the st. Lawrence
and the Mississippi from the unknown. Not a cape was
turned, not a river was entered that one OF them did not
lead the way.
The Christian missionary has been in the van OF the
miera.ions that have peoplcd the prairics and the valleys
beyond. The people Of the United States come honestly
by the missionary spirit. both by inheritance and cxpe-
riencc. and deem themselves under some obligation to
share with the rest Of the world what has come to them
of missionary enterprise since the days Of the pioneer
missionaries in the British Isles.

THE GOVERNMENT AND EDUCATION

(NeW YORK I1meS)
s-7:etary Wilbur has declared that a separate federal
met Is not required, but has promptly taken steps toward
as1embling through expert assistance information about
the results OF the present educational activities of the
federal &C ernmcnt, with advice as to future policies. This
is a muck needed study. 1t Is FORUM e tina the secrc-
tary OF the interior is himself so highly qualified to give
CEREAL direction to the inquiry and to avail Of its con-
illusions.
A joint committee of congress on the reorganization
OF the executive departments made an extensive survey

DROPPING

What the speculative world believed could not be done
is being done and has been done for the last four and
one-half months. BY methods described by Charles s.
Ilamlin. q member Of the fe1eral reserve board, as a
new technique" the board has since February brought
about a material dmction in loans on securities.
Doubling of the volume of loans on securities between
1922 and 1923, ~coincident with but an Is per cent increase
in commercial loans. had brought about an unbalanced
credit situation with which the board felt constrained
to deal.
The pressure for action through increases in the re-
discount rate above S per cent, which would have put a
burden upon hard pressed business a. well as spectators,
was resisted through skepticism as to the success of what
might be called the moral suasion' method.
But moral suasion' has turned the trick. Since Feb
ruary the board, through pressure cxerted by member
banks. effected a $780, OO. 900 reduction in loans on Sc
curities and a 1851 600 600 increase in commercial loans.
Having proved that diversion of federal reserve credit
into speculative channels can be curbed without serious
injury to agriculture or business, it is likely the new
technique can prevent a recurrence Of the dangerous
condition without new legislation from congress when it
reconvenes in August.

Editorial Comment
MOTHER INDIA
WaShin2ton STAR

washington STAR
Certain writer's have pictured the women of India as
victims OF hcartrending tyranny.
BY the sacred Gauges the wife is the slave of her hus-
band, subject to his most fantastic whims. If she shows
her unveiled face outside the domicile. he is privileged to
cut eff her rose. He can curse her, beat her and starve
her.
The western mind is a bit puzzled over all this. Most
abused women chose to revolt. hey could put an end to
the atrocious conditions under which they live. Why
don't they put their feet down, as their Occidental sisters
would do?
One might answer that they are restrained by the
strength of the religious traditions in which they have
really get to the bottom Of the situation. People the
world over have a hapry faculty of Interpreting religious
traditions in terms of their own convenience. Moral codes
change everywhere with changing times. The women Of
India are no exception.

paradoxical as it may sound, In their Interpretation Of
this curious condition.
In the first place, they say, I e wo--an Of India is not
so badly abused as has been implied. The hen-pecked
husband is no exception in the G:-,estic picture.
Secondly, her present condition Is largely Of her own
making She Is high prestess Of the religious philosophy
that makes her the slave Of her husband. Her very
slavery is the source Of her power. She finds an outlet
Tor her emotions in the very fanaticiSm Of her ancient
-creeds. 1t Is the men who, with wider interests and
broader outlooks, sometimes try to revolt against the
traditions that make their wives their slaves, and, by
that very condition, make the lords and masters them
selves the slaves of their wives and the mothers.
The soul OF the Indian woman Is chained-but She has
wrought the chains herself out of the gold of her emo
tons. She ill not consent to put them off. She con-
quers by her slavery.
BY her insistence upon the letter of the law. her pride
in serfdom, she is the greatest obstacle to the western
ization Of India. Until she has been reached by edu-
cation, she Is an inslrmountable obstacle.

uNEAVORARLE

For the first time since April, 1925, TIP value of ex-
ports has fallen below the total for imports. Ordinarily
from April to June there is a %shrinkage in outgoing ship
mcnts, and this year proved no exception. But the sur
prising feature was the drop OF 9 per cent in May cx-
ports under May. 1923. in view Of the consistently heavy
gains which we're registered earlier in the year.
The May results in foreign trade created the first
unfavorablc balance since April, 1926. The import sur
plus was $l4,00oOO0 and brought the favorable balance
for the first five months of the year down to sos, $4,000.
Several factors contributed to this disappointing re-
suit. Money market developments entered in. since buy
ers in foreign countries where currcncics are now at a
discount with the dollar curtailed their purchases Of
American goods. Most Of the loss in export trade was
suffered by cotton due to seasonal reasons.
There might be some cause for alarm in the increase
in imports if it were not known that the May Jump was
due to the desire of importers to get in additional stocks
before a higher tariff goes into effect.
Though an unfavorable trade balance is a threat to ma
tional prosperity, there is no immediate cause for con-
Germ. The May balance can be accounted for satisfac-
torily.
