WHAT A LIFE
BY J. E. Jones

Washington, d. G. April 14--This
mornings newspapers are so filled
with bad news that, for once, l am
going to pass them up and go out
with the girls. A. few nights ago the
Women's Press Club Of Washington
pulled off one of the swankiest Soc
ial events of the year, with their
own powerful organization. Mrs.
Roosevelt, Mrs. Willkie and Lady
Halifax were there with 900 other
girls, from 20 to 20 years old. At
the time of the World War you could
count women correspondents and re-
porters in Washington on your fing-
ers. Now the power OF the typewriter
in the hands of women newsbirds
occupies big, comfortable club
house--all their own.
Then, up on Capitol Hill Miss
Jeanette Rankin was the only Con-
gresswoman, and the brave little
girl voted against going into the
World WARRIOR which she was de-
feated in the following election, and
became the subject for general ridi-
cule because she cried when she cast
that famous vote. The voters of
Montana have formally apologized
to Miss Rankin by the practical
method of electing her to the pres
ent Congress where she sits with six
other women, who are doing very
well in legislating for their country.
At the other end of the Capitol there
is woman Senator, Mrs. Caraway
of Arkansas, who was appointed to
succeed her deceased husband, and
did SO we'll that she was reelected
on her own merits. Miss Francis
Perkins is serving her third term as
Secretary of Labor in the Presi-
dents Cabinet.
But the biggest story about Wom-
en- and Washington began with the
first World War when several thous-
and young ladies discarded their
frills and flounces and left the
South; at the same time thousands
of other young ladies stormed into
the Capital from every part of the
country to do war work.
1t wasn't long before they were
holding jobs, and after the war they
shortened their skirts, bobbed
their hair, and called themselves
girls. The old samples are still
girls, and many of them hold key
executive positions in the Govern
ment service, all the way from chief
clerks to members of National De-
Tense, Civil Service and other Com
missions and Boards. Tens of thou
sands Of women are employed in
different branches of the Govern
ment, and when it comes to compar-
ing them with men, as to ability,
hey are rated in the same class. A
great many of them own and drive
their own cars; they are partial to
lipsticks, red finger nails, and they
know their way around.
On the whole there seems to be
new twists in old sex-ambitions, be-
cause a lot of men have borrowed
the old battle-cry of women. When
you hear man grooming for equal
ity Of the sexes" it may be from
some guy who couldn't fill his job.
Perhaps a nice "girl' Is making
good in his place.

The Cherry Blossoms

The annual Japanese cherry bios
som festival is being pulled of in
Washington. This means that tens of
thousands Of visitors will head to-
wards Washington, because the
Capital is known to be a very beau
tiful city, with magnificent hotels.
The trouble is that rooms to sleep
in have been hard to get during re-
cent months. The local Trade Asso-
citation of Washington will not be
able to find rooms enough for people
who want to see the Japanese cherry
blossoms. We hate to advise the
public to stay away. But it is the
worst time of the year to come to
the Capital.
Who's Running This Country?
: There is going to be showdown
on strikes. Even the President lost
patience and served notice that he
would start action unless the Allis-
Chalmers plant reopened promptly.
The tremendous loss of man hours
in the coal industry, steel mills, at
the Ford plant, and in other strike
bound industries, has slowed down
National Defense. The Washington
view of the matter is that the CLIO
has caused most of the strike trou-
bles. Washington absolves the work
ers from most of the blame. One
leading commentator explained:
These are not labor troubles; they
are strike troubles directed by q
few leaders,"

Of the resolutions committee II
rejecting it read as follows:
"In lieu of the resolution, your
committee recommends that af-
filiated national and international
unions be requested to give the
most sincere consideration to poll
cies which will assist to eliminate
any tendency to discriminate
against Workmen because Of race,
color or creed"
ETHIOPIAN ISSUE
The third resolution with poten-
tialities is the one calling for lease
lend aid TIC Ethiopia. Thus far the
state department, so far as is gen.
orally known, has shown little in
clination to consider Halle Selassie's
kingdom as a beneficiary in this
respect. Few people question the
vigor with which the emperor's
resuscitated army is prosecuting its
war effort against the Italian
hordes, with the aid Of Great
Britain. Almost no one denies its
need Of further aid, The grant
ing to Haiti few weeks ago of a
huge sum under the bill sets q
precedent If one is required for
black nations. The feeling, however,
is that the AFL is unlikely to take
anv step that will embarrass the
policy now being pursued in the
