the United States win henceforward de-
vote to the question of limitation of air
ornaments. No phase of the military
problems to be tackled at Geneva in
1882 Offers greater difficulties than the
reduction OF the air fleets of the leading
powers.
France at present possesses the most
formidable aviation establishment in the
world The French regard their SUI
premacy In the air, with the English
coast within half an hours reach by
bombing planes, as more than an or
set to Great Britain'S supremacy on the
sea. The difficulties with which Great
Britain and the United States have met
in trying to induce France to limit her
navy are certain to be duplicated when
the Geneva Conference invites the
French to abandon the superior position
they now hold in the air.

NEW YORK, April e.-Spring's
~ the time to freshensup. House
cleaning time. Time for new clothes.
And every woman knows how new,
different colors help give a fresh
feeling.
Fashionable women are putting
lots of color into their costumes this
spring. And it's just as important
in the home. Lots of color. But
lots Of harmonized color.
Here are the colors used in fash
ionable homes this season. Not all
of them new. But more often than
not, there's a new shade of some
well-hked colors.
Green has been fashionable for
a long time-in rugs, chintzes, glass
curtains, furniture covers. 1t still
is-and almost every shade of green.
But the newest greens have dis
tinctly blush cast that makes them
different and lovely.
Rust is another color that's con-
tinuing to be fashionable. For two
reasons at least. ID Because it's a
good color to look at and folks like
it. And CO because it combines so
we'll with the fashionable green.
The newest rusts are reddish,
rather than orange, so they look
fine with the new blush greens.
Brown is rather a new color for
home decoration. But it's growing
popular so fast that it's almost as
important in homes as in clothes.
Brown generally is used as a

There is, she admits, not little
competition among women "ioin-
ers." But she condemns the move
ment both for its snobby attitude
and its great expense.
The average woman, she believes,
should be member of only two or
three clubs at the most, and work
hard in their interests.
Clubs always are trumps in the
life of Mrs. Loeb, but not one on
her list of forty-nine is devoted to
social frivolity such as cards or
dancing, though she loves both as
pleasures to be INDUCED privately.
Clubs Are Serious Ones
Her organizations are of serious
intent-for the study of virtually
every subject from the arts to poll
tics, sociology and parliamentary
law.
They range from the Ray Current
Event Club, Inc, the Portia Club,
various foundations and commits
sions, to the, Godmothers' League,
Life as a Fine Art, and the Wom-
ems Organization for the Free
Synagogue.
She long has been a leader in
Women's groups seeking civic re-
form, and is a member of city. state
and general declarations of women's
clubs.
She directs an hours program
every week on a radio station. In
1918 Mrs. Loeb decided to go to
school again, and took law de-
gree at New York university.
She was the first woman to pre-
sent movies for the study of Bible
stories, and supervised them for
three years in her capacity as chair
man of the Council of Jewish
Women.
Tree Planted for Her
She is proud of the fact that a
tree already has been planted for
her in the honor grove of Central
park.
Il believe in women. 7 think
they're line they stick together
better than men do. Clubwomen
really are doing something, and
they have something to say. They
can talk faster and straighter than
men, and have learned to think on
their feet" she declares.
They're better wives and moth
ers, and pride if nothing else would
make them SO. They don't live out

Just
Every
Day
Sense

CONSIDERING that they be-
~ Ieve themselves to be leaders
in everything else, it is strange
that men feel so little response
bility for marriage.
The home may be the woman's
sphere, but it should be obvious
that she can not, by herself, make
a success Of an arrangement that
it takes two to complete.
Frankly, I do not believe that
our present unhappy condition
will be improved until men realize
that upon their shoulders must
rest at least half the responsibility
for the family happiness.
In past eras, it is true, the wife
seemed able to manage a good
deal alone. That was because she
lived in an enforced state of
quiescence.
She had no opportunity for any
life outside her husbands or her
fathers house, and sometimes was
obliged to stand for things that
no self-respecting woman now
would endure
The fact, however, that she was
a submissive cerature meant that
the man was obliged to take pre-
cedence in authority, and to act
as boss of the home.
II
TO-DAY women are at liberty
4 to walk out of an unendur-
able situation This provides an
entirely new problem. 1t means
that only by intelligent co-opera-
ton can marriage succeed.
These changed conditions are
pretty tough on men who we're
brought up on old-fashioned doc
trines. Nevertheless, they must
look facts in the face.
It will do no good to theorize
on the subject. We shall have
to buckle down and work at it.
The energy we put into making
a 60 Of the local Rotary Club or
our literary teas would be amply
sufficient to succor marriage.
Modern couples have an entire
ly new situation to cope with.
Wedlock is no longer the hit and
miss business regulated by God
that it once was thought to be.
It is still, however, a state
necessary to individual happiness
and to the progress of the nation,
and therefore, should be given
some thoughtful study by both
women and men.
