Women Told
How to Seek
Equal Rights
Employers Groups
Can Help, Arlington
SorOptimists Hear

Businesswomen working for equal
economic opportunities with men
were urged to seek the cooperation
of employers associations in an ad-
dress by Miss Mary Anderson, di-
rector of the Womens Bureau of the
Labor Department, before the Ar
lington County Soroptimist Club last
night.
Miss Anderson, who addressed
club dinner at the Little Tea House,
declared opposition against the en-
ployment of women was overcome
after years of effort by women's
groups everywhere. She contended,
however. that much remains to be
done to achieve equal opportunities.
Telling facts are needed to ex-
plode the outmoded traditions and
false theories still prevailing in re-
gard to women" she declared. Facts
can be used as a basis for measures
to protect the rights of married
women to do the things they find
necessary to do and to hold a Job on
the basis of their fitness for such
work. rather than of their need of
employment"
In suggesting a program of CO.
operation with employers. Miss An
derson continued: "BusinessWomen
can, believe, convince businessmen
of sounder ways than dismissal of
married women to solve our unem-
ployment program, such as eliminat-
ing the double wage standards so
that loW-paid women will not be
substituted for men in certain jobs.
and raising wage levels for various
types of work so that more men can
support their families without the
aid of the wife"
Legislative measures designed to
prohibit members of any minority
group from full self-expression and
the right to earn a living are an at
tack on democracy itself" she added.
Mrs. Pearl Sharpe, president of
the club. introduced Miss Anderson.
Mrs. Norma Hughes Henneberry was
guest soloist, accompanied by Miss
Opal Robinson
Mrs. Katharine Winston was in
charge OF the program, assisted by
Mrs. Kathleen Clarke. Miss Ger
trude Crocker and Mrs. Agnes Con-
radio
Guests included representatives of
Soroptimist clups in Montgomery
County, Alexandria and Washing
ton, as we'll as members of the Busi-
ness and Professional Womens clubs

not consider the New Deal the
Democratic party. ...
Mrs. Dugan announced her inten-
ton to tour the country in an effort
to organize all Democratic anti-New
Dealers and urge them to vote the
Republican ticket regardless of
the candidate"
Explaining that one reason she
would not support the Democratic
ticket this year was due to her be-
lief there we're no desirable candi-
dates, Mrs. Dugan described Vice
President Garner as an "adroit
politician who only wants what he
can get" and Federal Security Ad-
ministrator McNutt as "the Indiana
Hitler"

Planes for Finland
Cincinnati Enquirer)

Without committing unneutral act the American Government has waived it's right to take delivery of A new naval planes, so that Finland may buy them. The navy will get it's planes little later with still further improvements worked into their design and construction. At least 999 out of every 1000 Americans, we may be sure, will applaud this action
 Great Britain and France have formally an- nounced their decision help Finland repe invasion but not by any action which would precipitate with Russia their part. Italy is known to have sent aid to the Films did the Allies in ad- vance of their official declaration of policy Sweden, may be certain is helping unostentatously but effectively.
 All this would count for naught if the Finnish Army itself not made of stern stuff. But after three weeks of war, it has proved it's ability to stop the immensely superior forces of the Soviet Union. If they can hold on for another month foreign aid ought to be of such dimensions to give them some chance of final
 The most serious shortage in Finland was, of course in airplanes, of which she had possibly 300 or 400 in all categories and ages This and doubtless still is the most critical need It is being met from at least three countries. After planes Finands greatest need probably is additional trained troops and equipment for them.
 This poses a difficult problem. Any country which manufactures planes sell them to Finland without being unneutral. But country send armed forces to Finland without risking involve ment itself in with Russia. Neither any naval power help the Films to combat the Russian blockade, by unneutral action Even then naval assistance cannot be given without German acquescence The critical test will come when Fin lands reserve of trained soldiers is exhausted.

ported about conditions inside that portion of Po land occupied by Hters troops but that little has told story of stupidity and gross ignorance of psychology.
 It was once said there only two ways of dealing with a fallen foe The victor must either crush him completely make friends with him The Nazis do not hesitate to completely crush their enemies Austria Czechosovakia and Poland are )eing Germanized in the best Prussan tradition.
 The universities in Poland like those in Czecho- lovaka have been closed Even the secondary choos have been shut for fear they will become the centers of subversive activity. The Polish lan- uage cannot be spoken in public without fear of arrest. This sort of government can only breed esentment and eventual retaliation
 The Romans when they built their world empire were careful to allow subject populations to retain heir language their religion and their local customs md traditions. Tn short, they made friends with conquered peoples Not so the Nazis. Every country they take is warning to others that if taken they will be completely crushed
 Hitler is reported to have once told Herman Rauschning former president of the Danzig Senate, slavery If the examples of Czechoslovakia and Poland expressions of that wish it is evident he has not succeeded The Nazi policy in those countries contains amazing lack of originality. They are slavsh examples of old forms of alien rule that can engender nothing but contempt Even without the Nazi rule in these countries would be doomed to eventual disaster. No people will long submit to such ruthleSsness without an effort to win back their freedom. Peoples like the Czechs and she Poles, whose history has been one long story of efforts to throw off alien overords will not rest under the rule of what Berlin is pleased to name Nazi civilization.

TIME FOR THE SKI

Ski slopes have long since been busy in Wash ington Oregon, Idaho. Vermont New Hampshire and the Adirondack area but Alaskan devotees still wait, not too patiently for the first snow A week ago we read of two young Juneau skiers leaving for the States so they could get sample of the winter sport at Sun Valley thousand miles south of here. But the unreasonable weather cannot last forever and certain that winter will arrive
 In the East, railroads have put into full swing their annual schedules of snow trains, service which has grown amazingly since the first such train was tried in the States not very long ago. This year ski plane service well, will be oper- ated out of New York to Canadian resorts. Here, when there is snow it is at our front door.
 The cult of the long shoe has had stimulating effect on winter sports in Alaska and the Nation. It couples good outdoor exercise with very special kind of thrill.
 Soon as the white flakes start to fall, there will be eager hours of anticipation busy with argu among experts and tyros alike as to the merits Of woods, bindings and waxes Then will come the test of the snow; the long climb into the Douglas ski meadows, or the luxury of the ski lift eff enough falls to allow the motor to be dragged into position sled) then the running, ranging from the timid, spill-punctuated straight-away of expert.
 On the snowy peninsula stretching from Western Europe to the Arctic Circle the proficiency of skis of the Finnish troops has brought discontinue and defeat to Soviet invaders. Tn this country can be abundantly grateful that favorite slopes know ski-running only peaceful sport

BARRIERS GO DOWN

Germany is the principal nation which does not come in under this bracket with us. So the broad pie .ure is that our tariff barriers have been sharply cut, but by agree ment one at a time with the bulk of our foreign customers they will give us reciprocal benefits in trade with them.
 What has happened in the five years since the trade agreement program was enacted is that the country has been given something akin to an old time Democratic tariff act. Farmers and others have protested from time to time. The State Department defends its action as a necessary measure to break down trade barriers.

 Benefic aspects seem to govern women under this configuration. They should benefit through asso- citation with successful friends. Government officials come under influences that increase their re- responsibilities.
 Heart and Home: Budget limita- tions may cause domestic resent ment. Clothing will increase in costliness. Midwinter bargains should not be ignored. Wise house. holders will carry out plans for spring repairs at the earliest pcs sible date. Prices for paints and building material are likely to jump.
 Business Affairs: Employers will emphasis efficiency and demand intensive effort as labor gains shorter hours and other conces- sions. Warning is given that man. agement is also entitled to justice and consideration. There are evil portents presaging labor troubles of far-reaching scope.
 National Issues: Unskilled work CTS will cause anxiety in many states. Their difficulties will inspire legislation to protect them from want and persecution. The Federal government will provide safeguards or wandering farm hands an d fruit pickers.
 International Affairs: Changes in he British government are pres aged as criticism of results due to early policies increases. Progress on the high seas will be reported by the British navy aided by air fore es and inventions for overcoming oerils of mechanized warfare.
 Persons whose birthdate it is nave the augury of year of inn portant experiences. Advancement through intense industry and cour- lgeous initiative is forecast.
 Children born on this day prob ably will be inventive and original in mind and deed. They should have the power to gain supreme success.

M o D E R N ETIQUETTE
By Roberta Lee

Q. Should boy or girl who is entering college ask a fraternity or a sorority member for a recom- mendation to this group?
 A. Never. Such advances must be made by member of the fra ternity or sorority. To make such a request would be the same as asking for an invitation to some social affair.
 O. Is a luncheon guest expected to remain all afternoon?
 A. Never, unless she is an inti- mate friend of the hostess and has been especially requested to do so.
 Q. Is it proper for a man to use a double sheet for his note paper?
 A. It is all right to do so, but a single sheet is preferable.

PocketbOOk and Politics
Philadelphia Record)


 Those who they can foretel a mans politics by his income bracket can have interest ing time with the results of the newest Gallup poll Dr. Gallup and his nquiring elves divide Americans into three income groups. They discover that 43 percent of the top income bracket approve of MT Roosevelt as President, 60 percent of the middle income bracket have also looked upon him and found him good while 76 percent of the lower bracket give him their indorsement
 Certainly the income groups give different re- suits, and the "ill-fed ill-housed il-clad" lower third like the President most. But how will an orthodox economic determinst account for the fact that 43 percent of the top third approve of the President? This is a vital statistic if there was one. It poses question which those arrogant soothsayers who will tell you what is in mans mind from a single peep into his pocketbook will have some difficulty in answering.
 Can it be Gin defiance of Karl Marx and his mixed brood of progeny that almost half those Americans who comfortably well off approve MT Roosevelt's supposed war" upon them? Here it is in black and white
