out inferiority completes to
the morale of their husbands 7
In a recent period Of six
months broadcasting, thousands
Of letters came to me, not to
mention those Of my usual daily
mail, begging me to urge women
to save the country by going
back to their homes. AS If the
majority Of these women weren't
doing their part in saving the
country and keeping the home
fires burning by going out to
work!
She'd Prefer
The Home
I wish it were in my power to
refute this calumny that women
work for shaved eyebrows and
expensive perfumes, by sending
to conscientious objectorS to
women in industry" the reliable
Government statistics on wage
earning married women COM
piled by the Department Of
Labor. I am confident the aver.
age married woman, given the
power Of choice, would prefer to
remain in the home if condi-
tions made it possible, especially
if she had young children.
Quoting from Department Of
Labor Bulletin, "Gainful EN-
ployment Of Married Women"
the report states: while many
of the women were accustomed
to earning their living be--.e
marriage, the group as a whole
did not anticipate work after
marriage. The reasons for work
ing most frequently given were
lack Of adequate income to pro-
vide neceSsarieS, to save, and
to educate children. In many
cases the husband was i'll, un-
employed, divorced or dead, and
many times unpaid bills made
employment necessary"
Clergyman Objects
More in sorrow than in anger,
one dear old clergyman wrote
to me, deprecating my sugges-
lions that married women, con-
fronted by the necessity Of earn
ing the family living, should
take up adult education and
vocational training, SO they
might be better equipped to
earn higher wages.
Not a few of the "conscien-
tious objectorS" to salaried mar
ried women referred to the
beauty of the old-fashioned
home-the home cooked food, the
women of the family preserving
and canning, the mother and
daughter sitting beneath the
evening lamp doing the sewing
of the family. A return to these
pleasant homely tasks, they
held, would soon Straighten out
a cockeyed world, avert the men
ace Of war, Fascism, Socialism
and other dangers to our hearths
and homes.
Women Robbed
of Occupation
This lovely prescription is
about as sensible as suggesting
to a pauper that he drive daily
in his limousine.
And, while lamenting the
disappearance of domestic arts
from the home, please let me
ask If the men didn't make off
with these things in the first
place?
Man robbed women of home
occupations on a grand scale.
He set himself up as a chef, a
baker, a Gamer of vegetables
and a preserver Of fruit in the
open market. He took away
our home-making jobs, as his
grandfathers took the weaving
of cloth and linen away from
our grandmotherS. He grabbed
off our sewing, and set up
sweatshopS.
And then he took up the pro.
fession Of midwifery - which
was once exclusively feminine
when men became obstetri,
clans. In short, they seem to
have left us only one job-and
that's exclusively ours the
! having of babies.

Boy
AdUlSGS
Girl
By GEORGE ANTHEIL

GCD EAR MIR. ANTHElL:
~ | love a boy. He
took my part when others
said things about me. He
was kind to me. He had a
steady girl friend and paid
no attention to me outside
of being kind. Do you think
l was justified in writing to
him and telling him how
much | admired him? l
never expect to see him
again. To tell the truth, |
did hope in some small way
l could win him by writing
as l did.
His family did not approve
of his girl, and, 1 think, pre-
ferred me. But rather than do as
they wished he left town. I am
ashamed now that ! wrote, but
still I am glad he knows now
how felt towards him. I am
wondering can one go on loving
someone who never loved you.
CRUSHED"
You poor, foolish little girl.
You did no wrong writing to the
boy except to yourself. There
was a motive back of your
writing, which the boy knew the
minute he got your letter. He
wasn't fooled that you were
writing merely in thankfllness
for his kindness. Maybe he
went away to escape you as well
as his family and the other girl.
Your humiliation is hard to
bear, but it should teach you not
to let that heart of yours run
away with your head.
