A WOMAN'S VIEWPOINT
BY IRIS. Walter Ferguson

A MOTHER study in contentment is offered by a
business girl-they like being called that un-
derstand even if they 55-who outlined her
philosophy over tea cups between hectic durries of
Christmas shopping.
Before got out to tackle the world" she said
which was during fathers lifetime, was chronic
wilmer. Well, I'll say this: I've licked that out of
the old carcass, if I never do anything else Now
I'm fit to live with myself we'll other people.
Eyes, I work in an office. Not one of the sump-
tuous kind you in the movies, but dull, ordinary
office where nothing happens from years end to
years end-that is, if making a living for several
hundred families can be called nothing
MY life in no way resembles that of the office
heroines you meet in newspaper Serials but don't
have bad time either. Mother is living and keeps
an apartment, which is shared by two other girls
who help out with expenses.
"Of course you'll want to know how feel about

Maybe my attitude is only resignation because I'm
beginning to realize Ill probably never have hus-
band home or kids, but that's the way it is. work
too hard of the time to worry about it. Put me
down as of those frustrated gals you newspaper
people forever writing about. At least I've
had love affair, although that's not saying I
wouldn't if the right man came along.
How do feel about the boss? Mostly sorry for
him. He works like galley slave to support four
idle and, as far as can see useless women. Sir
Galahad never had anything on him in the way of
chivary, but since I've never thought I'd like living
IN the same house with Sir Galahad I certainly
wouldn't want the boss hanging about after working
hours. BY o'clock I'm sick of the sight of him. yet
I'd give my last penny to help him out in pinch
He's been that square with me.
Maybe It IS a tough life but I'm fool enough to
like it. love the hurry of getting down on time in
the morning, the crowds at lunch, the coming home
at evening to fire, book or lark with the girls

believes her Browning and 1t is being ave-for no

to the fore as vice presidential nominee. He is
scheduled TO be Ohios "favorite son" nominee for

TO THE LADIES

T~HE Mayo Clinic should have the abiding devotion

them the justice long deserved. Examination Of
100000 cases shows that women do not belong to the
weaker sex, but to the stronger

women than men live to be rs. And twice as many
women live to be 1C0
We always have suspected that women were
stronger than men-stronger in the things that tend
toward health and happiness. But we are living in
an age of fact. That is why the Mayo Clinic re-
port is valuable. :.

HOOVER. DERIDED FOR
RECENT TALKS

BY a Times Reader -.
To hear Mr.; Hoover talk Of his
policies and criticise this Admins
tration one would think he had had
no education at all. g.
He says put relief on the yolun-
tary services Of American man and
women. That type of relief is all
right when the common people are
working. They are the only ones
who have that spirit of American
men and women" he speaks of. But
when they aren't working who is
going to do it? Big business men
and bankers? I should say not.
They are the kind that get in line
behind a poor fellow who drops a
penny in the pot, and donate dol
lar, thinking they have done a
grand thing. In reality, the dollar
is many thousands of times less
than the poor fellows penny.
That's the kind of men your plan
seems to help, Mr.. Hoover.
By turning the relief hack to local
governments wouldn't il. still have
to be paid for by taxes? What is
the difference? Oh, I see! In that
respect it wouldn't fall on Big Bust
ness. Now we are beginning to see
what, you mean, Mr.. Hoover. Well,
al I can say is that if you are sue
cessful, your Big Business cronies
will make it worth your time and
trouble.
If there is the poison Of politics
in the bread now, it is the kind that
is keeping the people from starving.
That is different from the kind Of
bread you put out IN your, honor
able" administration.
If there is no disagreement upon
the public obligation to relieve the
distress which flows from national
calamity" is true why were there
such places as "Hooverville" and
"Curtisville" during your admins
tration?
Interest in the poor mans plight
certainly did start with the New

MONDAY. DECEMBER %, 1885.
NO SECURITY SANTA CLAUS

GENEVA seems destined to hear some of the
- frankest talk ever to echo through her marble
halls Of peace. t
The great dream of Woodrow Wilson was to
found society of nations whose slogan would be all
for one and one for all. An act of against any
would ipso facto, be deemed act of war against
the others All would join hands to make the
aggreSsor behave
Such society the League of Nations was de-
signed to be. But, in the fulness of time many of
It's members have to look upon it as sort of
big brother" upon which they rely for help
without any corresponding sacrifices of a material
nature their part.
Great Britain, for one, is now making it plain that
she does not regard the League in any such light.
In blunt British fashion she is taking pains to in
form all and sundry that if they think she intends
to play world policeman all by herself for the benefit
OF the rest they are mistaken. Her accent is in
creasingly on the word collective"
Nor Britain be blamed for taking this stand.
There is reason to believe she has already convinced
Benito Mussolini that annexation of Ethiopia is
taboo-that she will fight, with the League with
out the League, to prevent control of such key
position on the map passing to another major power.
Britains purely empire interests having thus been
taken Of the other phase of the Ethiopian
conflict has to do with matter of principle namely;
shall aggressor be permitted to profit territorialy
or otherwise at the expense of the victim? And the
keeper of the worlds conscience in that respect is
the League of Nations
To be specific if the League wishes to make an
example of II Duce and drive him out of Ethiopia
without benefting by so much as an inch of soil
any other tangible gain, Britain will do her part
provided the others do theirs.
And who to say the British point is not
we'll taken? If the League is to be effective, if the
proposition Of collective security is to be any,
thing more than high moral principle, its cove
nants will have to have the backing of ships and
men and money delivered, if necessary, the firing
line. We have refused to share the risks of peace.
Let us then not rend the skies with II told you
sos!" should Britain and other active League spon-
sors abandon the thankless task
Like it not no single nation, however powerful,
is ever going to play security Santa Claus to the
entire world. Unless Geneva realizes this there is
little hope for peace on earth this Christmas week.

CROSSROADS ~
BY THOMAS E. HALSEY

There comes fork in paths Of men
Where selfsl1ness departs;
All feudal inclinations then
Relinquish human hearts,
And sympathy goes out to meet
Those struggling with despair,
Whose grasp of life confronts defeat
In dismal shadows there.
At this crossroads of men, a star,
Which beams from Bethlehem,
Points out a rendezvous-not far,
Where all may touch the hem
OF Christ, whose loWliness of birth
Has shown to you and me
That lives are measured b. their
worth
To frail humanity. m
Small wonder here that men unite
In kindlineSs, good will,
Some wrong to compensate with
right
OF human needs to fill.
1t is an ever present sense
That Christ himself designed
The urge of honest recompehse
To God and fellowkind.

for few days the pain might leave,

I took all kinds of dope to ease
the pain, but it did no good. "A
throat specialist could not find a
thing wrong. He gave me some dope
to ease the pain and said he could
do no more, but still wanted to
live. His dope did not help one bit.
Pains come from 20 to 40 times an
hour. After three mouths of this
trouble I had an X-ray taken and
found out the trouble.

cial diet for 80 days before I1under-

alton the doctors expected me to
die every minute for over two weeks.

because She understands me and
she knew I would fight that much
harder for my life. She knew I
wanted to live and that I would
never give up.

 Ut should be borne in mind that regardless of the Northland deal, extensive repairs to the wharf were imperatively needed and could no longer be delayed, and it was con- sidered good business to make the property self-sustaining if possible.
