der if he'd just keep up the
Feminine Mystery fantasy.
For, Of course, it is only a
fantasy. Women's aren't a par
ticle more mysterious than
men. Their boasted "intui-
ton" and feminine instinct"
are reasoning processes just as
mans balanced Judgment is
reasoning process. But woman,
unhampered by thousands Of
years of conventional training,
leaps at conclusions, whereas
man lumbers along in approved
ruts. But she blunders quite as
often in her leaps as he does
in his numbering.
Feminine mystery - only a
fantasy. Women aren't par
able fantasy for both sexes. 1t
allows the male to park the te-
male in the back alley and go
his way unhindered, with her
own enthusiastic approval. And
it allows the female to acquire
a lot of fancy merit without
working for it. Which, if you're
that kind of a man or that
kind of a woman, is certainly
a jake arrangement.
This same trick technique Is
used in dealing with other femi-
nine attributes. Traditionally
women are purer, more honest.
more sensitive, more timid and
generally nicer than men. Not
a word of it is true! Women
are imbued with exactly the
same moral and emotional quail
ties and face exactly the same
temptations as men. But how

Money Us. Patriotism

am seriously impressed with
the Presidents advice to busi-
ness "to increase production,
lower prices, maintain wages,
and not discharge employees.
I intend to follow his advice
and be patriotic.
I am in the lumber business
and have a 2,00O-acre tract Of
timber, three sawmills in action,
and we market the lumber at
$35 a thousand feet. The mar
ket has been good, but has fallen
off some lately. I know the
price is higher than it used to
be. We employ 100 men at fair
wages. We will reduce the price
of lumber to $25, ship more, con-
tinue our present wage scale,
and retain all our employees.
In that way we will incur a
loss of 100000 during 1888, but
we do not mind the loss, be-
cause we want to be patriotic
and continue business whether
we make money or not.

No man understands women,
and frankly says so. Whereat
women are greatly flattered.
They needn't be. It's no compli-

do not understand women is not
because woman are boojum
but because men do not think
they are worth understanding.
Any man could understand
any woman if he judged her by
the tests and standards which
he would apply to any man Of
like caliber. For, fundamentally,
there isn't particle of differ.
ence between male intelligence
and female intelligence.
There has been tremendous
difference between male and fe.
male training and environment,
but, given an even break the
average woman can qualify with
the average man. But it is alb
horrent to male egotism to ad-
nit this. He will not acknowl-
edge that the lady shares his
brand of humanity. He insists
that she's different. And he has

But how can a woman use her

Fault Finders

The lesser satellite perhaps
in the Pinchot political firma-
ment - Amos, noted New York
lawyer and socialite, dispatched
to the White House recently a
22-page open letter for Mr..
Roosevelt's perusal "at some
convenient time" condemning
the President for his attempts
to establish a dictatorship in
the United States.
Included also in this bulky
brief were other indictments
aimed at the font of New Deal
Inspiration" which further
charged that he sought to abol-
ish certain bureaus "that were
created and have existed in our
The Washington times., 1938-02-02
Federal setup for 149 years." So
what?

Federal setup for 149 years" SO
what?
Obviously enough a majority
of the commonwealth have long
recognized the fact that replan-
ming and readjustment effect
ing many of our governmental
bureaus is an issue that de-
mands immediate consideration.
Outmoded practices and Gus
toms must of necessity give way
to the progressive trend thai
seems to have engulfed the
present-day mode of serving the
people of this Republic.
Mr.. Roosevelt apparently
feels that the time is orportune
for such a change for this con-
structive program he has in
mind and with a Congress that
will 60 down the line for him,
these repercussions from out
side sources are as negligible as
the proverbial duck and water
saga.
True it is there are some re-
calcitrant members of the Dem
ocratic party who have "acted
UP" when this reorganization is
sue was brought out for an air
ing, but what strength they
have mustered in opposing the
measure counts for naught. The
majority, however, sees eye to
eye with the White House and
when "The Boss" presses the
cheat" ouzzer Capitol Hill will
be in direct focus with the man
sion south of Lafayette Park.
But now a thought to Mr..
Pinchot, the letter writer: The
gentleman happens to be a
member of that reactionary
group of the opposition political
party who are definitely op-
posed to any constructive pro-
grams that might be offered by
the current Administration and
by the same token are ready
and willing at all times to toss
obstacles in the path of any
contemplated plan that would
enhance their prestige.

that verbal brickbats should be
