can obtain in the light Of such
publicity.
But Congress shares this poll
tical blight with the legislatures
of the several States. These leg
iSlatures year after year add to
the cost of government by Great
ing new governmental units,
adding new officeholderS to the
number of those already on the
public payroll. And the people
are compelled to pack the bur-
den and pay through the nose
in taxes for the support Of this
whole nefarious system.
THE NEED GROWS
just as the President alone,
under the American system Of
government, represents neither
a State nor a congressional dis
trict, but the whole American
people in their corporate capac-
ity as a nation, so the governor
of each State represents the
whole people of his State in
their sovereign capacity.
The leadership raised up by
the President and supported by
the governors of the several
States would represent not only
all the people of each State
but the American people also
throughout the Federal Union.
Such is the leadership pro-
vided for in a resolution now
pending before Congress which
provides for the calling of a
conference to consider ways
and means of reducing the cost
of government to the American
people by undermining the ma
chinery of government in every
State in the Union.
This resolution was recently
introduced by Representative
Mcleod of Michigan, a Repub-
lican. It calls upon the Presi-
dent in the name of the Con-
gress to convene a White House
conference to be attended by
the 48 governors. The purpose

DR.. Holland replied:

"But I wouldn't destroy 1t.

whose "place is in the home"
is that she too often confuses
1.-The home" with Florida or
Paris or the Rue de Ia Paix. Or
with the cocktail room at the
Ritz.
The husband Of a business
girl may have his grievances;
but at least he isn't worrying
about the gasoline bills, and he
is dead certain that the Little
Woman is not plotting to drag
him out to a revue and night
club every evening. She'll be
too tired.
Moreover, a man who has be-
come accustomed to sitting op-
posite a business wife who
speaks "his language" at dinner,
would find it terribly tiresome
to have to listen to the old
babble about the baby's tooth
and the cooks shortcomings.
Why go back to the horse-hair
sofa period?
We can think of only one
thing worse than a woman
arond the house, all day. YOU
guessed ia MAN round the
house all day.
Every fond wife could tell
you with what a heartfelt sigh
of relief she closes the door be-
hing her Darling on Monday
morning-after SO hours of his
uninterrupted society. And, no
doubt, a man can get fed up
just as easily with too mo-
notonous a diet of one wom-
ans conversation.
Most of us will agree with
Mr.. Wells that "woman's place"
is wherever she is best fitted

they felt about it nowadays.
Felt about what?
Oh-about not working. Civ
ing up your job after you mar
ried, and living on your hus'
band. It wasn't easy, of course,
to get used to it. having some
one else pay your bills after
you'd always earned your own
way.
The girls voice grew sharp,
burdened by some secret be-
wilderment. It wasn't altogether
a joke-this muddled business
of modern marriage. Already

only someone would under"
stand
But the older woman wouldn't
couldn't. It was all beyond
her. Why should any decent
woman want to work after her
marriage?. Why be ashamed
to accept support from her own
husband? A disgusting and un-
natural state of affairs. Her
eyes hardened with hostility.
The bride shrugged - turned
away.
FAMILIAR SCENE
A simple scene, familiar as
the air you breathe. yet holding
within it's brief action every
tangle of our modern life. Men
and women, jobs and marriage,
what are they all about in 1885?
Is marriage a break for the
twentieth century girl-or a
blight and burden?
And how about her husband?
Some say he's a cad if he lets
her work-other says he's a cad
if he doesn't. What does he
himself think? Half the time
he doesn't kpow-and takes it
out on the girl.
Then what? What chance
has romance in a mess like that?
Endless questions-most of
them bursting on us like bombs
within the last twenty years.
What's the answer? Nobody
knows but we've all wondered
and seen homes and hearts
smashing because no one has
found them. Now comes DR..
Olga Knopf.
DR.. Knopf's a working woman,
too. Knows the things that
working women must face. And,
thank heaven, is able to talk
about those things in plain,
punchy words. So she's done a
book called WOMEN ON

Where All Winds Blow SOuth~ these lines live abou

these lines live about half way
between the North Pole and
the Equator. Once around earth
where we are is about $4,000
miles. Once around in "a
hours means a speed of about
666 miles per hour.
Peary and all the rest Of us
were also travelling with earth
on it's orbit around the sun, a
little matter of some 585 million
miles.
Earth covers this distance in
just 1865 days, which means a
sped of over $4,000 miles per
hour! That's quite a speed for
a body as heavy as this whole
earth. It's 80 times faster than
a rifle bullet!
Peary and the rest of us we're
also travelling through space
along with sun and the rest of
our Solar system, but as we know
almost nothing about this mys-
ferrous journey we will neglect it.
While Peary was nearest to
standing still that is possible on
earth, he was long way from
being stationary.
JUST A STEP
Leaving Peary standing at the
Pole for a moment, let us con-
slider this matter of speed and
weight. The Empire State Build
ing in New York is a good ex-
ample of a heavy pile of masonry.
1t is being whirled around at
666 miles an hour and hustled
along at $4,000 miles an hour.
This seems rather hot pace for
such a heavy and tall building.
I always think of this when
the traffic cop stops me and
warns me not to exceed 40
miles per hour. He is travel
ing $4,000 miles an hour while
he is telling me!
Returning now to Peary,
standing there at the North
Pole. He takes one short step
and it moves him from the
Eastern to the Western Henri
sphere.
Twisting his head from right
to left, his face moves back
into yesterday, while the back
of his head moves into tomor-
row.
He and Henson could have
quarreled all day as to whether
the week had six or eight days
in it, what the date was, and
what the time of day.

Because the average Englishman
knows about America only from what
he reads in the newspapers or sees In

Corporation this month started to
broadcast a weekly program designed
to give the "low-down" on what we
folk are like on this side of the At

as it Is called, is a weekly feature and
the program carries a subtitle explain
ing that it is "a weekly review OF
American news, ideas, music, history
and entertainment"
No effort is being made to lin
terpret" America, nor Is it hands
across-the-sea gesture" On the other
hand, the British program is based on
the realization that America Is q far
different continent in many respects
and it presents things that belong
more to America than to amy other
country. The test is: "Whatever Is
