NATIONAL BUSINESS woMEN's WEEK

March 1920 marks the tenth observance of the National
Business Women's Week and brings to mind the increasing
number of women who are yearly attaining recognition IN
business and the professions.
The old taboo on women in places OF responsibility has
practically disappeared in this enlightened day and age. Wo-
men today are limited only by their own capabilities and Inn
itations =. in physical stature and breadth of view.
Charl Ormond Williams, national president of the Bust
ness and Professional Women's Club, makes this observation:
"Women who reach the top are generally women OF tolerant
viewpoint, quick to grasp opportunity, interchangeable IN an et-
men in short the kind of women who know and appreciate
team work and can be either excellent leaders or merely
fine members of a group as an occasion demands"
On the other hand, says this authority, the woman who
stay at the bottom is generally the woman who is satisfied
with herself as she is and neither sees nor desires improve
ment. She is intolerant of the views of others, biased in Judg-
ment, and full of self-pity because things haven't gone her
way.
Charl Williams should have added that the difference be-
tween the woman at the top of the ladder of success or the
one who is on her way up and the woman who will always
stay at the bottom is a difference of viewpoint regarding the
purpose of life, a difference which determines whether or not
she is happy. Happiness for the most part consists of content
ment. And contentment can be found in work. A busy soul
is a happy soul. The old adage about an empty mind being
more women working.

EpREss1oN-TAUGHT LESSONS

'The speed with which the state of Mississippi resumed
her march toward independence (after the big depression) has
been the result not of any peculiar combination Of economic
circumstances, but of an intelligent and powerful determrn-
alton on the part Of her people to build here in the deepest
Southland a sound and balanced prosperity that will make
her immune to many of the problems which have harassed
her in the past" said Hugh L. White, governor Of the state
of Mississippi Tuesday night in an address before a joint
assembly of Rotarians in Holmes and Attala counties.
Mr.. White might have added that one of the best things
the depression did was to make the state Of Mississippi realize
that it cannot exist on cotton alone; to make Mississippi farm
es realize the tremendous Importance of diversified crops;
to teach the doctrine of selfsufficiency at home. When our
farmer has his own corn in the crib, livestock fed from food
grown on his own farm, homegrown vegetables and home
cured meats then we will have a happy self-suffcient farm
er and a happy farm family. The state as a whole will profit
tremendously from such selfsufficiency.
The depression, too, made some of us realize that we can
not sit still and do nothing and expect to prosper. We must
realize in the words of Hugh White, 1.-THE degree to which we
reap the benefits of the opportunity that is ours is the degree
which we are willing to go after them. The time has passed
Tor oratory or argument. The time has arrived for definite
and aggressive action"

GAMMA CLUB TELEPHONE PROJECT

The Gamma Club, womens federated organization, re-
ports splendid response to its project of securing the flash
telephone system for Durant. The old system whereby the
subscriber rings the operator direct is thoroughly Anticipated
otrer nearby progressive cities, secures for itself the flash
system.
With only a small additional monthly charge every sub
scrlber should be glad to help promote the change. The in
creased efficiency resulting from such a change will save for
subscribers much in time and money. The cost is negligible.
The Gamma Club has our sincere good wishes in this
worthwhile undertaking.
