DO WOMEN
 JUST TALK
 TOO MUCH!
By ADELAIDE KERR AP Feature Service Writer

They not only are inclined to talk too much at home, but in world affairs they talk themselves out of the very things they are trying to get.
 l You have that straight from Dr. Lena Madesin Phillips, woman lawyer who is president of the In- ternational Federation of Business and Professional Women.
 "The thing that makes me mad dest about women is that they spend so much time talking about social reforms and won't put teeth in their own words Dr. Phillips said when I asked her Whats right and what's wrong with wo- men?"
 Take women's work for peace, or in civic affairs. More women really study the issues of war than men. But then what do we do? We have a weeks convention and talk talk, talk Expend the urge and energy for accomplishing some thing by talking about it. Release pent up emotion and then feel we've saved the world. It's out of our system and we think we've done it.
 A Matter Of Tactics
 But that doesn't put the right people on the school board or make peace in the world If women are going to get anything done they'll have to talk less and work more.'
 pr. Phillips ran her hand through her silver shock of close cropped hair and turned on the heat again.
 Women don't drive at the fun damentals. They won't make up their minds and do something they want done, such as bringing peace to the world-and ti.en go about i getting those things in the way they go about managing their hus- bands.
 They know how to do that su- perbly-set the stage, give him a good dinner, let him take his nap and get all eased up and then broach the subject Of a new fur coat. Even then they don't do it directly. They suggest how stun ming his competitors wife looked in her new sables and how every body admired her and then let it crop right there. But they keep coming back again and again and again till they get what they want.
 It's The Same In Business
 They don't use that system in their work in civic or woi1d af- fairs. In a war caused by malad- lustment among human beings and an upset of spiritual values, it's. the men who are making the de- cisions- The women are sitting by and saying aye, aye and let ting them do it. We follow along and have no more initiative and backbone than just to follow along. We compromise for second best.
 And we do it in business too. Women won't run the risk of in- sisting on having that next higher lob and the recognition and pay that goes with it, though they do all the work.
 { T don't know how we're going to get anyplace until women get "a little more militant about hay ing their own voice heard in al world in which they pay the full price of mistakes made by men
 Dl. Phillips paused a moment and gave me her famous smile.
 Women today are what their grandmothers were the menders of society. They fix up broken hones, tie on splints, put on salve and keep on doing it. They won't stick to the job of preventing croken bones in the world twhere they now have voice) instead of merely mending them.
 In the Ia st analysis-women won't pay the price-hard work criticism, censure and misunder- standing. They want to save the

PULSE OF
THE PUB LIC
SOLDIERS WANT BEER

Editor. The Times: Anyone
knows that soldiers spend near
~ two million dollars a month
in the city of Tacoma. Restau-
rant owners fill their pocket
books, beer hall barons swell
their bank accounts everyone
profits. Prosperity in Tacoma is
a cinch for the next four years
at least. War stocks soar.
Soldiers get sore. And why?
The fact that a soldier likes
a glass of beer once in awhile
is really a small matter. No
one profits to a great extent
when a soldier buys a glass of
heed. But, when 10000 soldiers
each buy glass of beer. there
is large profit to all con-
cerned.
The beer hall owners gets his
share. the waitress who serves
him is getting hers. the brewery
makes plenty and the farmer il
able to exist. When $4,000
soldiers don't get their glass of
beer. the waitress don't eat, the
beer baron doesn't wwell his
bank account. the brewer as
well as his employees. loses
weight and two million dollars
walk around Tacoma.
II is interesting to note that
the strike of the Cooks and
Walters union Was called while
the majority Of the $4,000
soldiers are in California. Was
this merely a coincidence, or
