LISTEN, WORLD!
By Elsie Robinson

dearie, it doesn't. Without q
qualm, they proceed to join
pen clubs and attend press
luncheons and equip their "stu-
dos with enough writing gad-
gets and arty atmosphere to
set a whole crew of Shake
speares up in business.
All for what? All so some
body will take them for a Bird
of Paradise instead Of a plain
Brown Leghorn. .-%
AS a matter of fact, honest
to-goodness authors are not In
the least bird-of-paradiSy.
There could be nothing less
exotic than the average drah
writer, or less Arabian NightiSh
than his monotonous program.
But the phoney Bohemian
waves this fact airly away. He
knows that People Who Write
are supposed to be Simply
Wonderful, and that the curi-
GUS public falls for 'em like
they do for five-legged calves.
So he proceeds to go literary
in a big way. And does he get
a hand!
And frequently that hand is
extremely profitable. I know a
long haired owliSh gent who,
on the strength of one report
on hog cholera, gave a whole
series of lectures on psychology.
And there there are scads of
Wealthy Old Gals-in sandals
and Egyptian beads-who take
regular leases on Ghost Writers.
Nor is this racket confined to
the writing guild. There isn't
a job that hasn't its synthetic
faker. Simple souls they are
at heart, most of 'en. Real
good dish-waShers! Swell ditch.
diggers! But will they admit
such meager tastes and talents?
Migosh, no! No one-reel lives
for them! For
They're the guys who taught
Lindbergh to fly
Or gave Franklin D. the dope
for his New Deal
Or knew Garbo when her hair
was curly
Or helped Secretary Perkins
choose that tricorn hat!
And can you call their bluff?
Try and do it!

.OubwomenUrsed
To Study Their
Government

One question that has been
troubling club women during
the past few years is:
should the wOman's political
club replace the old type Of
women's clubs?"
The question Is an interesting
one. 1t Is answered very neatly
by Mrs. James H. Wolfe, acting
head Of the women'S division
Of the Democratic national CON-
mittee.
Mrs. Wolfe Is politician Of
the first order. She Is credited,
back in her home State Of
Utah, with having brought
about the defeat Of former
Senator Reed Smoot, for years
and years labeled "undefeat-
able" by Utah Democrats.
But Mrs. Wolfe Is q strong
believer in women's clubs as
strictly nonpartiSan units. She
says:
"They should be kept sepa-
rate. However, at this time
when everything is in q state Of
adjustment every woman should
be interested in government and
its functions. The great wOmen's
organizations all over the cOun-
try are seizing the opportunity
for study. This can and should
be done from nOnpartiSan view.
point.
women must realize their Op-
pOrtunities and they can only do
50 by knowing what it is all
about. Their clubs are ideal
mediums of finding out"
Clubs, thinks Mrs. Wolfe, are
chiefly valuable for educational
purposes. In party politics they
should have only a transitory
interest. It is the ideal behind
government that should absorb
them.

NEW YORK While Amalgamated

pear before the Regional Labor
Board hearing on the hotel strike,
strikers continued to carry on mill
tsnt picket duty, determined to force
the owners to pay higher wages.
It was revealed yesterday that
Frederic J. Daniel, head of the state

G. w. A. list because they had re-
fused to take Jobs in the hotels now
on strike.

when they learned through a letter
of s. successful strike Of hotel work
ers conducted in the William Penn
Hotel in Pittsburgh by the Food

greetings to the New York strikers.
THE strike Of the workers in the

py concluded.
The Cards took the advice, prob
ably because there were more of the
other guys which would enable
them to get more fights. Once they
started swinging on the opposition
they started a climb that didn't
end until the flag was theirs.
The last two games of the world
series proved how those Cards could
level. Trailing 2-3, all they had to
do in the sixth game to keep alive
vas to beat Schoolboy Rowe. They
did.
And yesterday-well, they went
