The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1936-04-08

to June 6.
About 1000 farm women already
have registered from a States
and numbers from foreign coun'
tries. South Africa is sending
three delegations; Australia and
New Zealand will also be repre-
Sented.
Everyone, all over the world
whoever eats butter, eggs, poultry,
fresh vegetables, country sauSages
and all good things which come
from farms-must be glad that
these women who get up before
light almost every day IN the year
are going to have little tun.
Old PrOverb
For the old proverb, Cali work
and no play makes Jack a duh
boy" holds equally for Jill,
whether she's q young girl work
ing in an Office, shop or factory, or
a matron working on a farm.
Monotony-the deadly samenesS
of doing the same thing day after
day-has lAuch to answer for IN
the way Of crime and self-destruc-
ton. AS a certain Frenchman
said: "Life is so daily!" And peo-
pie whose nerves are frayed by
the tiresome uniformity OF repe-
tition often grasp at any reckless
toy which comes to hand.
Do you remember the effect OF
that one drum note, repeated with
niaddening monotony in the Afri-
can jungle, in Eugene O'Nells
great play, Emperor Jones'? IN
dams, too, know the diabolical et-
feet of a single tone UNMARRIED IN
pitch-and they use it in their
war dances in rousing the tribes
to action.
Day after day, when the hands
of the clock warn of daylight,
there is nothing for these tolllng
farm women to do but get up,
grid on their Spartan arnor and
90 through with the chores-cook,
wash. iron, milk, churn and all the
rest Of it.
These women are coming to
washington in all sorts of econom'
ical ways, for usually they don
have much money. Numbers OF
them will crowd into automobiles
and on arrival will pitch their
tents at the tourist camps On the
banks of the Potomac.
New Interests
They will pray to heaven,
meanwhile, that it may not rain
when the best dress comes out OF
the suitcase, for the White House
garden party or the vesper serV-
ice that Bishop Freeman will hold
for them in the splendid cathe-
dral of SIS. Peter and Paul.
Farm women from foreign coun-
tries will be entertained at the
various embassies and legations
and talk over farm conditions at
home.
These ladies will have plenty to
talk about after their get-together
in Washington!
And please let me say that II
this should meet the eye of any
farm woman who would like to
join the grand trek to the Ma
tional Capital in the latter part
of May, I shall be more than
glad to put her in touch with Miss
Grace FrySinger, senior home
economist of the Department of
Agriculture, who has the plans Of
the gathering in charge.
TOO LONG
'tDear Miss Fairfax:
"This Is the sixth year I've gone
with this one girl, but for the past
six months. things have not been
going satisfactorily for me. Dur
ing the six years, until lately,
she'd tell me every time she went
out with another man, and ask
me to forgive her. But now she
goes and gOeS-tO dances, thea
tiers, supper parties, automobile
rides-withOu excuse or expIana-
ton, and tells me to do the same.
81 don't go to dances because I
don't know how to dance, but I'm
learning. When see her with
other friends she comes up and
speaks and is very nice, and urges
me to 60 with other girls. But
she knows I care for her alone.
"Should 1 keep on acting as If
! love her? JOHN p. j."
You tell me you are learning to
dance. Why not, at the same
time, learn to make love a bit
more quickly. To keep girl dan
