-----------WE, THE WOMEN
Those Thirtyish Women Who
Have Waited Too Long For
Husband and Must Take Stock
the sort Of job where they meet few

the sort OF job where they meet few
men.
DON'T TRY
TOO HARD
Also, though they don't know 1t,
there is usually evidence that they
try little too hard to please men.
They are so anxious to get married,
that they scare men away.
II not that, they lean toward the
other extreme, eager to show men
what they can very well take care
of themselves.
Before a thirtyish woman can
succeed in finding q husband, she
will have to analyze every aspect Of
her situation, and take. steps to rem
edy the obvious faults.
II there are no men In the town,
or If she is unable to meet any
in the Job she has, she will have to
give up the town or the job.
An honest analysis Of her ''tech-
nique" with men will tell her II
she Is being too eager or too inde-
pendent.
And a mirror will tell her If she
is making the most of her looks-or
If anyone looking at her would
know she had given up hope.

PNEUMONIA CARRIERS

ON1VGN4fA NfA1SAOAGAS0
Elect a doctor to office in the
medical society or employ him in
an editorial or other capacity in the
office of publication of the medical
society's organ, and he readily as
sumes that 1t is his province to
teach other doctors how to practice
medicine.
New York State Medical Society
distributes to doctors a nine-page
outline for talk on pneumonia,
from which I quote:
MANY normal people carry
virulent pneumococci in their
nose and throat. Persons in con-
tact with cases COT pneumonia)
frequently carry the same type
Of pneumococcus that is causing the
disease In the patient.
These carriers spread the
germs from person to person
through coughing, sIieezing, kiss
ing and even by talking and just
breathing small droplets con-
tanning germs into the air. These
are transmitted to other people
in close contact with the car
rier."
There 1t is at last, old timers,
straight from the throne. Pnell-
monia may be spread via CONVERSE
tional spray. It has been a long
struggle to get that vital fact ack-
nowledged by the quaint health au-
thorities. They now include talk
ing with sneeIng, coughing and
kissing as modes Of infection with
respiratory disease shows the pow
er of the press, the lay press, the
public prints.
The outline for talk on pneumo-
MIA further enlightens the plodding
practitioner, scheduled for a talk at
the lunch club, on the right answer
for a familiar question, to wit, if
so many people are carriers OF
pneumonia germs, why doesn t
every one get the disease? To that
the doctor should smile indulgently
and explain that two factors are
believed to be necessary in order to
develop pneumonia - exposure to
virulent germ and susceptible
state, that is, lowered resistance. ("
Who believes such twaddle the doc
tor, of course, need not reveal -
that is why the furtive mood of the
verb believe Is used. No matter

silence the dimwit who puts such a
question. And the resistance thing,

cuss that intelligently. Who knows

Did Not Need
Plot, After All
His Latest Play Has
That and Theme,
But It's No Help
Bv Ira WOIferf.
NEW YORK,

NEW YORK.
Having become the first in history
to win both the Pulitzer Prize and
the New York Drama Critics Circle
Award with the same play, william
Saroyan is now distinguished play
wright. It's no good, though, to get
solemn about it. It would be like
getting solemn about ukuIele on q
moony night.
Mr.. Saroyan's newest play, Loves
Old Sweet Song" is the most ambi-
tious thing he has ever written. It
not only has theme, but develops
it. and, in addition, does so with
form, style and a plot.
These are the things the literary
critics, over their heads in the Saro-
yam short stories, have been bowling
for. They've always said, as volumes
OF his tales came wagging from the
presses, that if the boy would only
discipline himself and get form and
plot and develop his themes, then
he would be good. Now it can be
seen, that they were wrong.
For Loves Old Sweet Song" de-
spite its carefully worked out literary
knick-knacks, is no better than any
OF his other plays or stories. Nor is
1t worse. AS matter of fact, it is
basically the same thing he has al
ways written. Willy is a regular
Johnny One-Note among writer's.
think Mr.. Saroyan's major short
coming as a writer is not that he
lacks discipline, but that he lacks
sense. He has no sense for people
or for the things they do or for the
things done to them. His people are
all like flowers. They are different
sizes and colors and grow in differ
ent places and are lovely, but their
range OF reaction is uncomplicated
and too rigidly restricted to be of
enduring interest to the human mind
or spirit.
At his best Saroyan is childlike,
and, at his worst, childish. This
means that, at least when he's in
the groove, he is delightful, but one
can become bored with his work
quite easily. I haven't altogether
reached that point yet, but I'm get
ting close to it.
His Favorite Theme.
The theme of Mr.. Saroyan's new
play is his favorite one, brotherly
love and how it can cure all. He
works it all out with the help Of an
Okie and his moron wife and IA
children, q beautiful old maid Of ~,
= medicine man, q Greek wrestler,
etc.
At the beginning a messenger boy
interested in love delivers a wild
telegram to the old maid at her Cali
fornia home. The message purports
to be from 51-year -old boy in Bos-
ton who had seen her a years be-
fore as he passed hei house, had
fallen In love with her and had not
been able to get her out of hk mind.
He was coming for her now and
would whistle Loves Old Sweet
Song" as he passed and, even II she
had five children, she must drop
everything and come away with him.
The message is a fake, cooked up
by neighborhood lad to get even
with the messenger boy, but before
the boy can tell that to the old maid
medicine man has come along
whistling Loves Old Sweet Song"
