WASHINGTON, Jan. 23-MrS.
w Henry MorGenthau Jr. is
one OF the growing group of wom-
en- in Washington's official family
much more concerned with her
family and her own wide interests
than with the usual round of
capitol entertaining.
The theater, public health and
the removal of tonSilS, foreign
travel, horses, dogs, politics, the
senate, Russia, and the TugWen
pure foods and drugs bill are only
a few of the interests which have
filled Mrs. Morgenthau'S life.
Many of these have been shared
with her family.
The family's greatest joy is
doing things together" she says.
Her eyes give the cue for her
whole personality. They are beau
tifully large and black, wide spaced
and keenly alive to all that goes
on around her. She is of medium
height, dresses simply and smart
ly, has a pleasing contralto voice,
and dark wavy hair.
She is the daughter of Morris
Fatman, New York manufacturer,
and devout Republican. Her moth
er is a sister of Governor Lehman.
She was born in fashionable up
town Manhattan, on the same
street where Henry Morgenthau
grew up.
HER activity in the theater be-
l. l. gan at Vassar college, where
she helped organize the Workshop,
which has since grown into one
of the outstanding college thea
tiers in the country.
Due to the lack of available
men, Elinor Joan Fatman often
played masculine parts. She is
amused to remember that when
her engagement was announced a
New York newspaper used her
picture as Napoleon in George
Bernard Shaw's Man of Des-
tiny"
For two years following her
graduation from Vassar in 1913,
she taught and directed childrens
plays at the Childrens Educa-
tional theater and at the Neigh
borhood Playhouse in New York.
Then she married Henry Nor
genthau Jr., whom I have always
known" But" she says, Il didn't
know a thing about farming before
married him."
She and her husband first lived
in charming but very old house
on one of the farms which Mr..
Morgenthau had purchased at
Hopewell, in Duchess county,
New York. Mrs. Morgenthau says,
there wasn't any electricity. We
did have good modern plumbing,
but my husband often had to
tease the water pump"
MRS. MORGENTHAU con-
4V1 tinued her theater activity
with the organization of the
Community theater in Pough-
keepsie. She and her husband
worked side by side in establish
ing the first public health service
in Duchess county. Funds were
obtained to finance two years
work in the vicinity.
With a doctor from Poughkeep-
sic they travelled from one small
community to another, setting up
headquarters in old houses, and
borrowing linen and furniture
from the neighbors.
With Mr.. Morgenthau assist
ing in administering the anaes-
thetics, they managed to get rid
of all the bothersome tonSilS in
their part of the county. Parents
paid whatever they could, and the
children were kept and cared for
for twenty-four hours. At the
end of two years the project was
taken over by the county.
When Henry III, Robert and
Jean, their own three children,
began growing up, and the old
house became too small for COM

lack which lost her husband, fails
to move the other woman'S hus-
band to action. That is why it is
important for each woman who re-
sorts to divorce to understand
exactly what she herself contributed
10 the breakdown of her marriage.
Otherwise she will be bounded by
the same failure pattern in each
new relationship.
As it is you are blaming the wife
for your frustrated feelings. Deep
within yourself a voice says, L
gave up my husband; why can't
she give Up hers?" The sooner you
recognize that the trouble lies with
in instead of without, the sooner
you will be able to turn defeat into
victory.
I can not put my finger on your
difficulty without knowing more Of
the facts. I am reminded of an
other case in which woman whom
I know intimately lost on both cor
nerS of the triangle. She discov-
cred that she had a martyrs atti-
tude toward life, and secretly took
pleasure in sacrifice. She was a
woman who dreaded aggression in
any of its forms. and found it
easier TO win admiration by sac
rifice, which is passive, and which,
for her, meant less effort.
AS soon as she spotted this weak
ness in herself, she struggled to
succeed in whatever she attempted.
She avoided situations which fore
doomed her to failure. In due time
she attracted and married single
man who understood and admired
her campaign to succeed in life by
active effort instead of passive sub
mission.
I do not know whether your eX-
perience comedies with hers or not.
only offer it as one example OF
what may be wrong with people who
perpetually fail in whatever they
undertake.

said:
"In some cities It Is apparent that
disputes are settled locally without
much trouble. Where sef-reliance
was not practiced, or was impossible,
there were numerous complaints about
the delays incident to remote control
red tape and the like. There were
also complaints about lack of Gov
ernment cooperation influence of
outside unions and the like.
"As to difficulties with respect to
settling Of complaints with respect 10
violations Of trade practice Prov
sions, adverse reports predominated,
with examples of unsatisfactory re-
suits from complaints which had been
filed. These statements referred to
'habitual delays after cases leave
local authorities, unexplained delays
and the like" .
The summary said 90 per cent or
more Of employees in cities Of all sizes
and In different parts Of the country
were on the pay rolls Of coded enter
prises.
AS to unemployment, it said that
although large reductions had been
made In some cases, the more usual
percentage was from 10 to is per cent,
while about 20 per cent Of the re-
sponses reported little or no re-em-
ployment." Geographically, the more
moderate increases in employment
were reported from Southern States
and from the Northwest.
In some communities the earnings
Of skilled labor had apparently risen
more than those of common labor
and the reverse was true in other
communities.
From some areas in the West" the
summary said, there are statements
that codes have had no effect upon
wage levels as wage levels we're al
ready well in excess Of the minima
provided in the codes"
As to whether minimum wages had
tended to become maximum wages,
the response was about $3.50.
On the problem of differentials on
wages between geographical districts,
about one-half the cities responding
said there were no adverse effects.
A number Of smaller cities in direct
competition with nearby large cities
reported loss Of business and hard

Most Of the responses received
from Southern States" the summary
said, were to the effect that South

through disturbance of their normal
differentials with industries In other
parts Of the country"
The effect of trade practice pro-
visions upon competitors were usually
described as beneficial.
Testimony to this effect was
given" the summary said, "in some

minority Of the cities, however. re-

There was much testimony. how

Shadow of Guns.

VIENNA, May l R.-Southeastern
Europe greeted May day in the shad-

mobilization of police and gendarmes
stood vigilant guard.
In Vienna, however, the day was

studying last night.
The constitution, under which de-
mocracy formally is forced out of Aus

Most of those prominent in May

country.
In Rumania, citizens feared Left
forces might seize the day for show
of power.
Bulgarian authorities kept close
