 Women's Bureau, says the confer ence will not yield 194s declaration of women's rights. She says women have gone too far and achieved too much to make,action of that kind either necessary or appropriate
 Miss Miller says that the past cen tury women have gained the full legal right to-
 l. Enter professions and practi- cally all occupations and trades.
 2. Vote and help make laws on To- cal, state and national levels.
 3. Serve on iuries in all but 13 states.
 4. Enjoy full rights of property and earnings in most states.
 5. Have the same rights of guard ianship as men in most cases.
 6. Keep their personal identity in most respects.
 T. Receive the same treatment as men under tax laws.
 Tn 1848,7 Miss Miller says, "a womens property was taxed with out representation, marriage meant civil death for her in many respects, and the doors to profitable employ ment generally were closed tightly against her"
 Women workers today, she adds, form 28 percent of all workers and mere than 30 percent of all women IA years of age and over in the na- tion's population.
 The Women'S Bureau reports that of the total labor force of 57,590, 900 in December 1947 women numbered 16,698.o00. Of this number 16,294,000 had iibe. Labor force means people working or seeking work)
 Census estimates of women in the labor force as of April 1947 show that 46.2 percent were married, 379 percent, single and 15.e percent widowed or divorced.
 Married women constitute a growing proportion of workers, re- flecting changes in social attitudes and increasing need for money in- come in a highly industrialized ec- onomy,7 the Bureau says
 Despite the progress made, many oljectiyes still are to be attained, Miss Miller says These include a wider application of the principle of equal pay, better working condi- tions and rates of pay in the large woman-employing industries.
 They also include fuller recog- milton that women aspire to serve in policy-making positions when qualified"

from Mrs. S. B., HyGttspfAe.j
To Mrs. C.>J. S.: My advice is def
nitely no glasses for your daughter.
She Is sure to regret it in later years,
but it may be too late. Believe me,
I am speaking from personal expert
ence. started to wear glasses when
was a very young school girl for
seemingly the same reasons and
with the same ven for them as your
daughter. What started out as a
fairly weak lens, however, was
changed to a stronger and stronger
one each year that I had my eyes
reehecked. 1t seems that your eyes
become gradually dependent on the
glasses, so that within a few years
you really can't do without them
any more. This, however, may not
be the case with your daughter, de-
pending on the amount OF strain
her eyes will be exposed to as time
goes on. But why take that chance?
There are definite disadvantages, I
find, to wearing glasses. To men
ton few of them, they detract
from your appearance, they're
handicap in sports, they often inter-
fere with hair styling or wearing
certain types Of hats, the boy friends
are generally not too pleased with
them, babies always reach for them
and very often break them for you,
they're not convenient in the sum-
mer when you perspire a great deal
or when you want to wear sun
glasses, and in general, they are
just one big nuisance every way you
look at it! AS long as your daugh-
ter can do without them, she will be
wiser not to get them and I hope
she shall never need them in the
future.
Can any one tell me how to care
for young philodendron plants that
are being sold in the dime stores?
Do they grow better in water or in
soil? Do they prefer sun or shade?
I bought one last winter and put 1t
in water. It hasn't grown at all
during all that time.
Can any one be good enough to
supply the words of "J'ai deux
amours." It's the French version,
think, of the English popular song,
1.-TWO Loves Have l." I would very
much like to have the words in
French.

To MISS r. I. a.: Concerning the

I'd suggest vinegar. Wash. bleach
