Flurries Of
Snow Point
To Heavy Fall

Intermittent flurries OF snow most
of the day today indicated a heavier
fall tonight, as was forecast by the
Weather Bureau.
Light falls in the forenoon and
early afternoon were accompanied
by biting north winds and de-
clining mercury.
The weather forecast for the State
was for colder weather and tor snow
this afternoon and tonight. Reports
we're that snow was falling much OF
the morning and early afternoon
over a large portion OF central ana
western Carolina, which prospects
that it would reach the eastern part
of the State during the night.
After weeks of low temperatures,
some of the snow that fell Christ
mas eve days was reported still IN
evidence in secluded spots, and
there were signs of the lighter fall
of two weeks ago.
The weather moderated CONSIDER
ably Monday, and Monday night,
the dawn today brought a falling
mercury, with the forecast OF snow
and colder weather for this after
noon and tonight.
So far, the winter has been more
like that of four years ago than any
of the cold seasons that. have IN
tervened, most of then unusually
mild.
The Greensboro area had a fore
cast of about "a hours OF snow, WIN
a fall indicated at three to toul
inches. No predictions were maze
as to the probable depth OF the pros
nective snow Tor this section.

A/ burning question was
w that of franchise for
women. In that day everyone
men and women both-thought
there was some argument
about it. Women were fit to do
all the hard work in the world,
and the few who struggled
through law or medical courses
invariably came out ahead Of
the men in class work, but there
was a general impression that
no matter how estimable and
lovable members of the weaker
sex were, they shouldn't have
any authority.
Nothing to say about schools,
or politics, or business, or hous-
ing, or morality. The only
voices that could speak on these
topics were those of men. In
the delicate questions Of their
souls, of their ailments, of in
comes and responsibilities,
women must be guided by men.
Women are not yet awake. They
are still being led blindfolded
through life by the all-controlling
males. But at least they are STIR
ring IN their sleep, and political re-
sponsibility, being granted a short
20 years ago, has encouraged them
to work for recognition IN higher
positions and in statecraft
Future Holds More Freedom.
Twenty years! Biologically one
second. In hundred years they
will only have begun to grasp the
full power of their shackles and to
take their rightful places as a sex,
prisoned too long IN a world of false
conditions; conditions made by men
only, and for which both men and
women pay.
Women are gregarious. They like
community life Generations ago
young mothers would have united
their interests, gotten together
groups of babies, commissioned a
few mothers IN turn to do the tend
ing, cook the spinach, watch the
sleepers, and so have freed two
thirds of the other mothers for sew
eral days housekeeping, sewing,
study and relaxation each week.
But man, jealous and monopolis-
tic, decreed that each woman should
have her own little separate estab-
HShment. His business is run on
a cheerful, companionable, group
unit plan. But until some 80 years
ago no wife ever touched money of
her own; it was doled out to her IN
dollars and half-dollars, for shoes
and gas and meat. She dared not
even dream of a Babies club, In
which she and her congenial friends
and group OF happy children might
share the nursery years. No, her
man decreed, consciously or uncon-
sciously, that the only companion
she might have IN her long firing
days was some ignorant young for
eigner.
Work Could Be Organized.
If women's work could be organ
lied as mems work is; with centers
where small children dourished IN
der the care Of their own mothers;
with garden, a playground,
well-equipped attic for rainy days,
reading hours, music, language
study, there would be happier
homes, less divorce, less nerves, less
psychoses. Women hunger for this
economic, safe, inspiring solution for
the sman-years problem, but men
still frown il down. They never
think what it does to a wife to spend
all her waking hours IN the presence
of three small, restless, demanding
children and an Armenian girl of 10
whose great interest is the Thurs
day night dance.
And women, still taking mems or
