Labor Is not demanding the appointment
of a woman to head the Department
IF Labor. The Postmaster General, with
its wide patronage, is regarded as the
real political job of the cabinet. No
one yet has suggested that a woman
be appointed Secretary of the Treasury
or Secretary of Agriculture. That closes
the list of cabinet positions. If a new
department of education and public well
fare is finally provided. possibly a wom-
an might be selected to head 1t, although
there willkpe much said about that by
male educators IN this country.

SHOOTING STARS.
BY PHILANDER JOHNSON.
Might of the Myth

Might of the Myth.
Our myths draw near and fade away
They seem quite real for day.
Now to regret we turn, because
There isn't any Santa Claus.
Yet We'll be happy, as the year
Brings greetings of romance so dear.
And, then, fond hopes we must resign
Since there is no st. Valentine.
Children again will lift shout.
Lovers need words to dream about.
Life would be but dull display
Should myths forever fade away.

10 lnciuQe IN MS caDlnet woman, as
recognition of the activity of the women
OF America in politics, and particularly
in the last campaign, has been agitated
for weeks. Mrs. Alvin T. Hert of Ken
lucky, vice chairman of the Republican
national committee during the last two
presidential campaigns, has been more
prominently mentioned for cabinet
Office than any other woman. But now
Mrs. Hert has issued statement, in
which she says, II do not wish or eX-
pect any Government post whatever"
This would seem to end the matter so
far as Mrs. Hert Is concerned, although
an invitation from the President of the
United States, as Mr.. Hoover soon is
to be, to enter his cabinet, might not
be easy to decline If 1t came to her.
The truth Of the matter is that up to
the present a woman does not appear
to fit in we'll as the head of any of the
executive departments of the Govern
,ment. It has been suggested that Mrs.
Hert might be appointed Secretary of
the Interior. But the West, with its
great engineering problems and its big
public land problems, is demanding an
engineer and a man from the West for
that job. Women are not yet so proml-
nent in the business of the country as
to make the appointment of a woman
as head of the Department of Com
merce likely. The State, War and
Navy Departments do not appear to de-
mand a woman for Secretary, notwith-
standing the ratification Of the Kellogg
treaty renouncing war. The Depart
ment of Justice must be headed by a
lawyer of repute. The name of Mrs.
Mabel Walker Willebrandt, at present
an Assistant Attorney General, has been
suggested for that post. Mfs. WILLIE

 T believe that an increase in air | travel will approximately increase i the volume of business done by the railroads. There will never be any competition between the two meth ods of travel
 And where one plane leaves it's terminal now. business will increase to such an extent that whole fleet will leave on schedule" Lindbergh said that in the near 1 future the planes leaving Los An- geles on the new line would fly di- rectly to Columbus, Ohio, reducing ths time between here and New Y York to 36 hours. He said his conn., nany was experimenting with planes for night flying on the trip. equipped | like Pulmans.
