This is to the ladies-the femi :
nine bloc In Congress which stands
a good chance of being considerably
strengthened after the coming cleo
tions. Even though Representatives
Clare BoOthe Luce and Jessie Sum-
ner have chosen not to run again,
signs of the times indicate that when
the roll of the next Congress is
called, more women will be on it
than at any time in history.
representatives Edith Nourse Rog-
ers of Massachusetts and Frances
Bolton of Ohio are almost certain
to be returned to Congress. Seven
Democratic women, each outstand-
ing, have already won nomina tions.
Incumbents Helen Gahagan Doug
las, Emily Taft Douglas and Mary
T. Norton stand good chances to win
reelection; and rustlings of the
political grapevine have it that sew
eral new ndidates-among them
Martha Sharp of Massachusetts,
Olive Goldman of Illinois, Margaret
Afflis of Indiana and Georgia Lusk
of New Megico-are equally assured
of victory.
One of the ablest women In Con-
gress, Mrs. Chase Going Woodhouse
of Connecticut, has yet to win re-
nomination. Her political fate will
be decided in the fail. I'm well
aware that no Democrat has ever
been returned to Office from my dis
trict," said Mrs. Woodhouse the
other day, but I'm in the fight just
the same" incidentally, she is the
second Democrat in 40 years to be
sent to Congress from the normally
Republican area she now represents.
Time was, when most women
elected or appointed to Congress
were regarded as novices who were
not expected to make any deep i'm
preston or real contribution to the
Legislative scene. But the past few
congressional sessions have seen
women grow perceptibly in strength
and influence.
Mrs. Woodhouse, for example, has
worked hard and successfully for
ratification of Breton Woods and
for measures to put teeth in the
United Nations. An outstanding
member Of the House Committee on
Banking and Currency, she has also
waged a fight against imitation and

MARRIAGE MIRAGE If tt

MARRIAGE MIRAGE If the
GalluprPoll man ever comes to
our house and asks us whether
we are pro or con on the subject
of love, we're going to make him
chalk a big x in the pro column.
And if he should go further and
ask us whether we believe that
love should be followed up by a
trip to the preacher, we shall
point out to him the well-beaten
paths to the preachers house and
the churches in Wilmington.
We hope, though, that the Gal
lup-Poll man doesn't pay us visit
right soon. Because if he does,
he might be led to believe that
marriage hereabouts is merely a
mirage.
DELICATE CARGO-sad to say,
folks, but the S. S. Holy Matri-
mony has struck a snag along the
Cape Fear. And not even loves
highest tide, swollen by floods of
lovers tears, has been able to I'M
snag it yet.

1t is, in sooth, terrible situa-
ton. The ship, you see, carries a
very delicate cargo-prospective
brides. They jam the vessel from
stem to stern. They huddle in the
holds, swarm on the SUM- deck,
flock over the forecastle-and five
are crowded together in the crows
nest Matching escape plots.
And there's only one possible
escape for them. We must throw
them a life-saver. But not the
conventional kind. No. The only
llfe-saver that will get them off
the grounded vessel is a bridal
gown, complete with lace and
orange blossoms.
BRIDAL GOWN BRUSHOFF -
That's right, folks. The S. S. Holy
Matrimony, like the S. S. Meat
Larder and the S. S. Sugar Bowl,
is stuck on the snag of shortages.
There just aren't any bridal
gowns in Wilmington.
