Curfew Follows
India Violence

BOMBAY, Sept 29-CUP) - The
city of Poona, where Mohandas X.
Gandhi and other All-India Con-
gress leaders are in custody in the
Aga Khans palace, was under cur
few today after a new outbreak of
violence there and in two o.ler dis
trictS
In the Champaran district of the
northeastern province of Bihar
troops killed three persons out of
mob attempting to raid police
station.
The curfew at Poona was i'm
posed after studenis blocked a
read with boulders, tore up road
signs, set fire to police shelter
and stoned a military automobile
They also attempted to cut tele-
graph wires
Disorders also broke out at All
medabad, in the northern part of
the Bombay presidency, and police
injured one rioter when they fired
into a mob hurting stones at a
street car The police used tear
gas to break up student demonstra-
tions and dispersed several parades.

PERSONAL "LIKES"
AREN'T IMPORTANT

And no able bodied woman has
any business entertaining las usual
in these times. There is too much
work to be done for any woman
to concern herself with being a So
cial big shot
If she is able to do hcusework it
doesn't matter whether or not she
hates to do it. Most people today
aren't doing the things they like to
do. Insead they are doing the
things that have to be done-and
there is no reason why women of
any class should think it matters
right now what they like to do.
If only the women who really
need household help would employ
maidS-then the servant shortage
wouldn't be so much of problem.
But as yet this is all tco often
the case:
Mrs. Jones, with four small kids
to care for, can't get a maid -
while Mrs. Brown, who hasn't any
one to care for but husband, a
dog, and a large house, is carrying
on her club and social life as usual
while a full-time maid does her
work.

WE
the Women
BY RUTH MILLETT

BY RUTH MILLETT
1t is high time women got around
to asking themselves if they have
any real right to their household
help. With housewives having a
tougher and tougher time getting
help only those women who aren't
able to do their work themselves
ought to keep maids.
If a woman has small children,
she certainly has a right to help if
she can get it and pay for it. So
has the woman who has an invalid
in her family. Or a woman who
works outside her home, or one
who isn't physically able to do
houseWork.
But just having a large house.
liking to entertain, or hating to do
houSeWork are not excuses. They
may be good enough reasons in
peace time, when there is enough
household help to go around. But
in wartime they are pretty poor
excuses.
If a woman thinks a house is too
big for her to take care of-then
she can rent part of it, or shut part
of it off. She should do it III the
winter to save fuel, anyway.

Women's S Chorus
Open for New
Members

Women who would enjoy sing
ing in the women's chorus, organ
lied this summer as a part of the
recreation program, will be well
come to join the group, said Mrs.
Leo DeCelles, director, in announc-
ing the next meeting for Thursday
night, o'clock in the Harding
school, the chorus meeting weekly
on that night.
Primarily the chorus goal is to
provide an opportunity for women
to do choral singing and is de-
signed for their interest and pleas
ure rather than for any public
concert work although the group
has accepted an engagement for
November.
During the summer months a
nucleus of some Is kept the or
ganization going and had a lot of
fun working nthree-part music
for women's voices.
Much new music is available on
which the group will start work at
once. For the greater part the Wo-
long to other choral groups nor
men who are members do not be-
have they been soloistS and they
are getting a lot of pleasure and
learning a lot at the same time
at their weekly sessions.
Those who are interested should
met with the chorus this Thursday
evening.

THE TEMPLE CRAZE
Then there was Shirley Temple.
When Shirley came along, sir or
madam, we're you one of those par
ents who had little girl about her
age? And did you suddenly get n
gleam in your eye, dress your mop-
pet as a reasonable facsimile of
the child star, inflict her upon your
guests at every little dinner party?
Almost simultaneously Garbo and
Dietrich started American phases
of their own. From Garbo the girls
got the impression that is was a
good idea to talk in a throaty Whis-
per and to sink around the house
with the motion of a feeding kan
garoo.
Dietrich put over the idea that
by sucking in the cheeks so that
the face looked thinner and the
cheekbones more prominent one
could achieve an expression of mys-
terry. And she was the one who
got women to wearing pants
You see why we were worried
about that hair-clipping bee?

PIT. A. Work in District is
Organized for New Year

Plans for a series of parent-edu-
cation meetings throughout the
county Nov. 16, II, 18, with Mrs.

wartime conditions and gasoline ra-

Mrs. Weakley announced appoint
ment CT Mrs. Margaret Radcliffe of

Wrifes:

The misunderstanding between
Moscow. on the one hand, and Lon
don and Washington on the other,
about a second land front in Eur
ope is distressing but not at all sur
prising. 1t has seemed inevitable
ever since the London Washington
announcements last June that the
three United Nations were in agree
ment as to the urgent task of cle-
ating a second front in Europe in
1912"
Obviously this was one of those
matters on which the public could
not be given even the vagueSt hint
as to details. Speculation, there
fore, spread in all directions in the
free press of Britain and the United
States.
In Russia the press is not free
Speculation there took the direction
that the government considered
Wisest Judging from reports, the
Russians were given assurance that
the Anglo American forces defin-
itely would come to their assistance
by attacking Hitler from the rear
that is, from the west.
This situation and its statement
involve no criticism of the Russian
course.
Quite apparently, as we now can
see, those spectators were correct
who considered the statement as
weapon in a war of nerves.
To the extent that the Russians
unfounded hopes for a second land
front may have contributed to the
doggedneSS with which they have
resisted Hitlers hordes this sum-
mer, perhaps the statement justi-
fled itself.
To the extent to which the Nazis
were made uncertain whether we
might be silly enough to attempt an
invasion of the Continent without
proper preparation or adequate re-
sources, the strategy may have
helped Russia by keeping some
Reich strength away from the east
ern front for a time.
Nobody can blame the Russians,
desperate as they are, for trying to
induce Us to come to their rescue
on second front. After all, Staln
primary interest is in RuSSia-not
in Britain, not in the United States
not in the United Nations, and
not in democracy. Self-preserva-
ton still is the first law of nature
for nations as for individuals.
BY the same token. nobody can
find justified fault with the British
and us for not committing nation
al suicide by invading the Contin-
ent this summer.
Starting from militarilV naked
scratch, with all our irritating and
discouraging failures we have done
a good job of arming. We are near
ly ready to translate local petty Of
fenSives into the beginning of q
or9nd sweep that, in course of time
will destroy totalitarianism COM

HOME SERVICE
One of the lesser known volun-
teer services of the Red Cross is
that of home service since it is not
open to new workers but only
to those who have had experience
in social service work. These Wo-
men, under the supervision of a
case worker, visit clinics, offices,
schools, homes, assisting with var
ious social service problems, all in
formation which. they receive being

in this field may make application
