WHAT | THINK OF AMERICAN WOMEN
Continued from bage sesen

advance her career or improve
her character. The damage is
done when a girl is led to believe
that a bonnet will catch a hus-
band; that makeup, hair-dos,
and other naive tricks will i'm
prove her personality, enable her
to attain happiness; that every
thing is more easily attainable if
cut to a pattern, condensed to a
recipe.
1t is this pathetic faith in the
power of formulas that makes
the strongest difference between
an American woman and a
woman of any other country.
This belief is a threat to the most
precious quality that a woman
can possess - her instinct.
Catching Coldfish
l HERE are always two ways of
catching a goldfish, a proverb
says. Suppose there are two
girls strolling in a garden, and
their eyes are caught by a gold
fish in a pool. The girl who be-
lieves in formulas gets the latest
in fishing rods, steel hooks and
bait, and spends hours trying to
get the fish to bite. The other
girl, who follows her instincts,
simply grabs a bucket, sits on
the edge of the pool and empties
the water out. She gets the fish
in little more time and with
much less emotional strain.
Being Unconditional - that
is, repressing instinct-seems
to be the goal of every woman
in this country. And this,
fear, is one of the principal
causes of the Illustration of
American women today. What a
mistake to think that our eyes
have only the pleasant task of
letting us see the world! Please,
l would like to say to every un-
emotional heroine, shed tears
shed gallons of tears if you like to
do so. Tears of pain, of anger, of
joy, of anything you like and you
will be released from the strain
you have placed upon your body
and soul. You will be more nor
NAL, more human. A downpour
of tears will make you feel like
a flower after an April shower.
Why should a woman be
ashamed of such a normal reac-
ton? There are too many women
in America, l fear, who uncon-
sciously pay too high a price for
self-control. Their principal char

acteristics seem to be ambition,
competence, self-assurance. And
the strain they place on their
nervous systems leads to dissatis-
faction, restlessness and tension.
An Italian woman would never
believe there are problems" of
modern courtship. Or that
sscourses" on sex relationship
could help her attain happi-
ness in marriage.
Of course women who are
going to be married could benefit
by studying cooking, nutrition,
sewing, home decoration, budget
ing, clothing, sterilizing bottles.
But all this practical" knowl-
edge will not bring you a yard
closer TO true happiness.
Actually, I believe that there
is an answer, but it isn't a short
cut. ! am afraid l will have all
the American women against me
if l say it: harmony for a woman
always means some sort of
spiritual submission to a man.
What makes women tense is the
heavy responsibility they have
placed. often voluntarily, upon
their shoulders; the notion that
they can solve every problem
without help from men.
Nowhere have women so many
opportunities as here in America.
As department-store managers,
government officials and in many
other jobs, as we'll as in the
home, they have reached impor-
tant positions that no woman on
any other continent could dream
of holding. But it seems to me
that in the process they have
lost the simple, eternal secret of
happiness for a woman.
They Lose Subtlety
ENDLESS competition keeps
them perpetually on the defen-
sive, makes them aggressive, de-
prives them of subtlety and
mystery, and builds a barrier
between them and their men.
An Italian woman is more
instructive, closer to nature, and
therefore more relaxed. She
works, screams, or cries when she
feels like it and she doesn't care
a bit about the opinion of any
audience. But above all she
truly believes that a man is the
best companion that a woman
can have in her life. She is not
afraid to rely on him, to give him
much. to serve him. The End

An Employer Goes Too Far

Though it is true that under the Taft-artey Act an
employer authorized to certain degree OF force and
pressure his employees to keep them from voting for
Union for the Union Shop there's limit, the NlB
In recent case the NLRB found that employer called
in his employees in groups and ecued them He threatened
in nterpeate language He had the foremen go to their
homes and argue with hem-aganst the Union of course
This the NLRB, is going too far It's beyond the
bounds of free Speech Hence the election in this
set aside and a new ordered.
Labor leaders in the know confident that exactly
the same methods used in recent western case and
with the result that the frightened girls and women were
afraid to vote for the Union Indeed these frightened people
are still afraid to talk and the evidence cannot be obtained
for presentation to the NLRB.
Employers who the pressure and threat method are
very stupid They may win for day month"; even for
n wear but inevitably they will lose And when the chips
are down finally the employer will have earned the bitter
hatred of his workers. Fear breeds hate always It's
human hate the thing fear Therefore, if the
NIRB cannot get the evidence such employer concocts
his own disaster from within his own mean little soul.

All you have to do is walk in

be exact-and you can drive of

On the official rate of exchange,
one American dollar equals So
