Right to Franchise Won
By Women y Years Ago
Anniversary Finds Wives and Mothers
Too Busy in War Work to Celebrate

In private industry women have
made great progress in breaking
down barriers to employment To-
day, though the majority of women
work in the lower paid jobs, a few
have climbed into the professions
that were for men only" until few
decades ago. Their numbers in all
jobs have increased by half mil
lion in the past six months due to
the accelerating force of the Second
World War. This war may break
down further the gap between men S
and women's wages for the same
work that has narrowed only slightly
in the last % years.
Admitted to Colleges.
The educational grievances of the
10Th century feminists are largely
without meaning today, because
women are admitted as students to
their own colleges and to many
colleges formerly open only to men.
Princeton broke the tradition of
generations and admitted women to
summer sessions this year. Though
women are still barred as students
in the Harvard University School,
a woman. DR. Alice Hamilton. served
on its faculty. And the curriculum
OF women's colleges no longer leans
SO heavily On the humanities. To-
day women are taking chemistry,
physics, mathematics and other
courses considered "unladylike" in
the days when Carrie Chapman
Gait was ridiculed for studying
geography
The major social grievance of the
feminist movement was that So
ciety had "a different code of morals
for men and for women, by which
moral delinquencies which exclude
women from society are not only
tolerated but deemed of little ac-
count in men," The woman leaders.
all highly respectable characters. did
not seek to sink women to what
they considered the low level" of
mems morality, but rather did thev
seek equal treatment. 1t is difficult
10 measure progress made in this
line.
In 1912 on the 22d anniversary
OF their enfranchisement American
women are sinking any remaining
grievances for the duration and are
uniting with organizations different
IN class, race and creed to win the
war, even as they united in the last
war to win the vote.

Mrs. Roosevelt's S
Talk to Feature
Democratic Day
Women Throughout
l.. S. Plan to Observe
Fefe September 26

A broadcast by Mrs. Roosevelt to
Democratic women throughout the
country will be a feature of the
annual Nation wide celebration OF
Democratic Women's Day sched-
uled for September 26.
Mrs Roosevelt will speak from
6:45 to 7 pm. over the Red network
of the National Broadcasting Co.
Her talk will be made at a tea to
be given by the Womens National
Democratic Club at its clubhouse,
1926 New Hampshire avenue NV.
Set aside as a day for Democratic
women to raise funds for their
partys work, the observance was
first suggested in 1889 by Mrs
Roosevelt, who gave it its name.
1t is usually celebrated on Septem-
Der q. the day in 1919 when women
were first admitted to the Execu-
tive Committee of the Democratic
National Committee, but was
changed this year so as not to fall
on Sunday.
Mrs. Charles w. Tillett. assistant
chairman of the Democratic Ma
tional Committee and head of it's
women's division which sponsors
the Embarrassing day, will introduce
Mrs, Roosevelt for her radio talk.
Because of gas and tire restric-
tions Mrs. Tillett believes that most
of the celebrations this year will be
county and precinct meetings, with
.neighbors getting together on front
porches and in back yards to tune in
Mrs. Roosevelts broadcast. She
urges that all celebrations be simple
and in keeping with wartime condi-
tions.
Declaring that Democratic
Women's Day has a special signifi-
canoe this year." Mrs. Tillett de-
clared:
With so many u the men away
on the fighting fronts :or working
long hours in war factories and on
farms. this is going to be a women's S
campaign. The women will have to
get the issues before TIE voters. ar
range meetings, distribute the lit
erature and above all, get out the
vote.
I'VE women know how to do these
things" she continued. We have
been doing them for years. This
year We must do them even better
;. than we have ever done them before.
But we cannot do this job without
: money"
: AS in previous years, fund raising
quotas are Sl.50 a precinct which is
: proportioned equally among local
county work, the State women's or
ganization and the womens division
Of the Democratic National Commit
tee.
Most of the money will be raised
by the use Of mile of dime cards
with slots for Is dimes from each
precinct.
The slogan featured this wear will
be: Uncle Sam needs your dollars
your party needs your dimes"
Thus the women will be urged to
buy War bonds and stamps and to
contribute generously to various war
organizations as they collect party
funds.
