Zonta Club to Present
Plaque to Miss Harvey.
A highlight for members of the
Zonta Club this week will be the
presentation of a bronze plaque of
the late Miss I. Malinde Havey, an
honored president of the club, to the
American Red Cross. Miss Mabel
Boardman will accept the plaque in
behalf of the Red Gross at the clubs
luncheon meeting Wednesday at the
Y. w. G. A.
Miss Havey, who was associated
with the Red Cross as national di-
rector of public health nursing
served overseas during the World
War, and later at Red Cross head
quarters here, rendered distinctive
service in times of catastrophy. She
was awarded the Royal Red Cross OF
Great Britain, the Croix de Guerre,
the U. S. A. Victory Service Medal,
the Medaille de Victoire and the
Medaille de la Grande Guerre.
The plaque, which is said to be an
excellent likeness of Miss Havey, was
executed by Miss Eleanor Cox, young
sculptress of this city whose mother.
Mrs. Elizabeth Cox, is member of
the club.
Miss Cox had seen Miss Havey
only once, but she worked from pho
tographs and was greatly relieved by
the verdict of club members that
she had portrayed the true char
acter of her subject.
Miss Cox, who Is member Of the
Society of Washington Artists, re-
ceived first prize in sculpture when
she studied at the Corcoran School
of Art. She later studied at the
Yard School and received private in
struction at the Maryland Institute
in Baltimore from William Marks
Simpson, director of the Rhinehart
School of Sculpture.
Survey Reveals Stability
Among College Women.
DR.. Kathryn McHale. general di-
rector of the American Association
of University Women, concludes that
a college education makes both for
stability and adaptability, from a
10-year study recently issued jointly
by the A. A: U. w. and the Womens
Bureau of the Labor Department.
Economic Status of University
Women" was the subject
The 1e25-1s35 period which was
covered included the hardest years
of the depression, Dr. McHale point
ed out. Of 8,796 career women"
with college educations who we're
analyzed, however, only per cent
met more than one period of en-
forced idleness, she said, and u per
cent had only one such experience.
More amazing STILL" she contin-
ued, half the 6 per cent who were
idle on December 81, 1884, were idle
for personal reasons and not because
they were unable to get job"
That employed women college
graduates are frequently bread
winners for others also was dis
closed. DR.. McHale said that Al
per cent of the women included in
the study carried responsibility for
dependents, while 36 per cent took
full care of one or more persons.
Three-fourths of those having de-
pendents were single women.
DR.. McHale also noted that
majority of the women college grad
yates had entered fields where SAL
aries habitually are not high, but
where employment is comparatively
Standardization social work and
library work. This, she said, largely
accounted for the fact that 73 per
cent of the college graduates who
had never taken work beyond their
bachelors degrees received salaries
of less than $4,000 year. This did
not mean. their education had been
q failure she contended, but rather
pointed to powerful social factor
which might be made to work to
woman's advantage if she succeeds
in sharpening her financial sense.
DR.. McHale cited instances in
which ingenious college-trained
women had originated remunerative
Jobs in the field of helping people
live more happily" These included
positions in department stores as
home counselors and the writing of
q newspaper column of practical
advice on modern housing.
