DO YOU KNOW? -.
That real estate operators have
found that fully s5 percent of home
buying is controlled by women.
That new book "Look at the Law"
"a book explaining law to the layman
written by Percival Jackson, hard
headed, successful, New York lawyer
emphasizes the fact that it's up to the
women to save this country. ut won't
be the men to take hold and pull it
out of the mess it's in" Mr.. Jackson
says, "To begin with, women today
have more time than men. Earning
living keeps mems noses so close to
the grindstone they become astigmatic.
But women have more time to think.
The average woman today is far su-
perior to the average man. She is
more intelligent, has more cultural
background, reads more and is more
subtle. But, she must put this advan-
tage to some practical use, such as
broadening their concept of home
making, instead of confining it to max
ing decent home for one family
they must take it on their shoulders
to see that everyone has a decent
home. The whole housing problem is
logically woman's problem. They
should pitch in and fight for the good
of everybody. Then, when they have
proved that they can take over and
have demonstrated their superiority,
they can write their own ticket"
It's up to US, girls, to show 'em who
can do it! (Since nothing concrete is
advised by Mr.. Jackson, The Potters
Herald would like to suggest the "buy
American" drive).

When Lilly Dache went to Florida
this winter she was inspired to design
new hat fabric she calls "Plaisanta
Palm" made from the fiber Of the
eocoanut SHE'LL This var y asrn
Fabric was used in the design of hats
that brought to life again the swoop-
ing picture hats of Lillian RusselPs
day and the enchanting little teapot"
that was the pet of Sarah Bernhardt.
You'll recognize it as the. modern ver-
sion of the little bonnet your grandma
used to tie under her chin.
Other designers are using the bur-
lap-like fiber of the palm tree to fash
ion bags and shoes and belts. In it's
