Experts Talk
For Women
Vote League Told
OF Progress and
New Fields

Progress of women in industrial
and professional fields, and sugges-
tions for possible new fields, were
discussed by two feminine authori-
ties before members of the Voteless
District League of Women Voters
yesterday.
Miss Elizabeth Christman, secre-
tary-treasurer of the National Wom-
ems Trade Union League, spoke
from the point of view of the in
dustrial worker, while Mrs. David
Cushman Coyle, chairman of the
Washington Committee of the In
stitute of Women's Professional Re-
lations, spoke from the professional
angle. They were presented by the
leagues department of legal status
Of women at luncheon at the club
house of the American Association
of University Women.
Tracing the progress made by
women in industry from 1900 when
the census at that time showed a
little more than 1,00O,OOO gainfully
occupied, to 1880, when the last
census showed 100000, Miss
Christman declared opposition to
women in many fields had gradually
been overcome.
Recovery Act Called Helpful.
The National Recovery Act, she
said, later gave valuable assistance
to women in industry by disclosing
many hidden industries" in which
women were employed and in which
their services were underpaid or ex-
plotted. The Wage and Hour Act
also has been extremely helpful to
thousands of women, she added.
Miss Christman cautioned men,
bers to watch for trends discrim-
mating against married women in
industry as well as women over 40
years of age, which she declared
were just the beginning of a seri-
GUS situation. Should such laws
become general, they would soon be
followed by discriminatory legis-
lation against men over 10, she
predicted.
The 1910 census. Miss Christman
added, should be studied carefully
as it would give the real facts con-
corning the progress made in re-
cent years by women in industry.
Speaking on the professions, Mrs.
Coyle listed engineering, stage di-
recting, national advertising, bank
ing and aeronautics as some of the
fields which women have entered
successfully.
Science Opens New Fields.
statistics also is a good field
for women" she said, "as we'll as
arbitration" Many openings also
are to be found in radio and photog-
raphy and the large retail stores
offer very good futures for women,
she continued.
Mrs. Coyle advised women to
think of new fields, which modern
science is making possible. She
called attention to the animated
cartoons of Walt Disney, a new
field by which she declared he
has given hundreds Of new jobs to
people.
There is a whole field Of better
living. open to women" she con-
cluded. Fields specializing in the
elimination of dirt and noise and
in the creation of beauty. I would
like to see more women in them"
Mrs. Pearl B. Klein, chairman of
the department., presided and in
troduced the speakers. Mrs. M. o.
Lorenz, president of the league,
also spoke briefly.

THE OLD HOUSE BY THE SIDE OF THE ROAD
WOODSTOCK" Upper Marlboro, Maryland
Home of c. c. Magruder Esqr
By CHARLES H. L. JOHNSTON

lis an old house by the side of the road,
Where the mocker trills in the tree
Age-worn and mellow it breathes but the air
OF gentle antiquity;
Yet the six cats doze in the summer haze
And the green-topped corn-felds scan,
While purrng paean of feline praise
For their Master: Friend of MAN.
The Angus herd is gentle and sleek
1t grazes in solitude,
The tiny nests in a box on the porch
In peace and quietude;
For It's watched by the man at the side of the road,
With the wrinkled face of tan,
Who loves to live in a world of peace,
And be the Friend of MAN.
Yea! - He and Thoreau are one and the same
They love but the simple and good,
Their souls entwined in the heart of this earth,
In the fields and the slumbering woods
So. stop at the house by the side of the road
It's ancient beauties scan
And bow to the man by the side of the road,
Who is surely the Friend of MAN.

By ETHEL M. TROY

Dear Mrs. Troy:
Would you advise young MAI
b adopt life insurance as his lift
work?-Alvin M. B.
The answer to such a direcr
cuestion involves many factors. TX
bpgin with, is the young man will
no to pay the price for success
IN life insurance as in any othel
worth while field, success goes tt
him who is willing to play the
kame according to the rules ane
he rules are rigid.
If one will follow the code, then
he work will give ample reward
for the opportunities for service in
ife insurance are comparable with
hose of the ministry, of medicine,
aw and teaching.
In this field one must like people
Ind be genuinely interested in
helping people to help themselves.
The routine Of busy day will de-
velop many contacts which thru
he years will provide lasting
friendships to enrich ones life.
There are many life insurance
gents who rank among the lead
hrs in their communities, partici-
batting actively in the work of the
hurch, fraternal organizations,
service clubs, etc.
For the young men and women
eaving high schools, colleges and
Universities, the life insurance
gent can outline a program to
guide them steadily toward finan-
eial independence. For the young
couple marrying and establishing
home, the friend in life insurance
would plan for the security of the
home, both now and when the
young couple become an old couple
facing the sunset of life. For the
proud parents the life insurance
agent delights in showing the way
whereby educational advantages
may be guaranteed to the children
regardless of the hazards of the
future.
And SO through life, the oppor-
|tunities are inexhaustible.
A very pertinent angle of this
young mans problem will be writ
ten about next week.

FROM OUR
EXCHANGES
NEGROES STEAL TURKEYS
IN BROAD DAYLIGHT

Five negroes are in the Northamp-
ton County, Va, Jail at Eastville,
charged with stealing motor vehicle
carrying concealed weapons, opera
ting a motor vehicle without license,
speeding, larceny and probably other
offenses. The men are Willis Thom-
as, Jacob Engliss, Wilson Chandler,
Lee Carter and Milton Phelps. Chand
Ter is the only one of them giving
a local address, the others being
transients from North Carolina and
New York.
The four men named first were ar
rested Tuesday morning of last week
by Deputy Sheriff John Reade Wom-
BILE and Corporal Neblett of the State
police, when their suspicious actions
were reported by Forrest Hartman,
of Cape Charles.
Mr.. Hartman, it appears, was pro-
ceeding north on the state highway
when he saw an automobile bearing
a New York license stop near Rat
Hall farm, near Machipongo. Four
negroes got out of the vehicle and
started chasing flock of turkeys in
a nearby field. AS Mr.. Hartman
stopped to investigate, one of the
men caught a gobbler and all four
then ran to the car and started north
ward. Mr.. Hartman notified the
police and the chase started. The
fleeing Negroes, after reaching a
point some distance from where they
were first seen, back-tracked and the
chase finally ended at Cheriton.
When placed under arrest they had
the turkey in their possession, were
carrying gun and knife, the op-
orator had no license and investiga-
ton disclosed that the car, a 1888
Dodge, had been stolen in New York.
It was also learned that Milton
Phelps, while not with the group had
been associated with them and he
was arrested at Cape Charles.
Deputy Womble stated that he was
investigating report that the group
had been selling fowl in Cape Char
les, and until this investigation can
be completed the trial of the five men
is being postponed.
At the conclusion of the local hear
ing, and, if found guilty, serving of
sentence, the men will be held for
New York police on the stolen car
charge.

HOT OFF THE CREDIBLE

Because of the more delicate ma
ture of the fiber, silks and woods need
a different sort of treatment from
cottons and linens. Both Of the for
mer fibers are damaged by extremes
of temperatures, either heat or cold
and consequently should be washed
and rinsed in lukewarm water, and
dried at a reasonable temperature.
To one quarter pound of cooked
macaroni in buttered dish, add salt,
butter and pepper; CRATE over it one
ounce cheese; stir two eggs in cup
of milk and pour eggs in cup of
milk and pour over. Cover with
bread crumbs and bake 20 minutes in
moderate oven until brown.
Pectin is that substance in some
fruit that when heated and combined
with fruit acid and sugar, causes the
mixture to CONCEAL or jell. All fruits
do not contain this substance. The
acid and pectin may be supplied by
the addition of the juice of apples,
plums, ounce, etc, or homemade ap-
lie or commercial pectin.

"Vicalloy," a new magnetic alloy Of
remarkable qualities, was recently an
nounced to the American Physical So
ciety by E. A. Nesbitt and G. A. KEEL
sail Of the Bell Telephone Laborato-

vanadium and iron, the alloy can be
made to hold more permanent magne-

In addition, it can be drawn and
rolled-a property of decided advan-
tage in many applications, and not
possessed by other permanent magnet
materials of Importance in the art.
Taking it's name from the initial let
tiers of its three components, the new
material is composed of 6 to 16 per
cent vanadium, 80 to So per cent iron,
and SO to 62 per cent cobalt. From
the molten state it is cast into an in
got, and then drawn into wire or rolled
into tape, as desired. When in final
form, it is heat-treated to develop its
magnetic qualities
