ton, it was disclosed that
several men have suggested form
ing auxiliaries to aid with its
work. The club is wing OF the
District Cancer Society.
The groups loan closet for can

Gated at headquarters Of the Dis
trict Division of the American

Dix
Faults Often CoddIed
Because Many Enjoy
Their Weaknesses

DEAR MISS DIX: am an aver
age young woman who against
considerable odds has kept her
mental balance. After years OF
effort I have now achieved some
progress against being snob, I'M
loving and unbelievably tactless.
My reason tells me I am wrong
when I nag. I have tried any
amount Of reasoning to overcome
it, but under the stress Of a
strong disappointment I lose to
an emotional. orgy of self-pity.
which breaks down all reserve. I
only abuse those I dearly love.
where my heart is concerned. T
can reason it out this far, that 1t
Is q result of = feeling I have
that I am not loved or am losing
q love have labored long to gain.
Is there any cure for shrewishness?
ANSWER: I do not think any
people are more to be pitied than
those who have the vision to see
the wise and right thing to do,
yet lack the strength to do it.
For they are not only at odds
with all about them, they are
perpetually at war with them
selves.
billiards sin without remorse.
They pass the buck and blame
everyone else but themselves for
their wrong doings and their fall
ures. But the intelligent have
no such scapegoats. They stand
convicted at the bar of their own
consciences and know that they
have brought their misfortunes
on their own heads.
You would like to be popular,
to know that you always carried
your welcome with you, yet your
tactlessness alienates people in
stead Of drawing them to you. You
long passionately, to be loved, yet
make Of your tongue a two-edged
sword with which you slay even
those near and dear to you to the
heart. You nag. even though you
know that it will drive away from
you those whom you would bind
to you with hoops of steel.
These are common feminine
faults. They are at the bottom of
most of the tragedies of women's
lives. A woman knows that she
drives her husband and children
away from her by her nagging.
She knows that she makes her
home hell on earth by her tenn
per. She knows that she has no
friends, yet she goes on doing the
things that are her own undoing.
The only way to reform is simply
to reform. Quit SHINING. Quit do
ing the thing that hurts you and
brings suffering on others. There
Is not one of us who cannot con-
quer our faults If we really desire
to do so. It is because we want to
enjoy our weaknesses and not have
to pay for them that makes us
coddle our faults without trying to
get rid of them.

Federation Letter
To Tell of Districts
Suffrage Plight
By Ruth Deem

That taxation without repre-
sentation" exists in the District
Of Columbia Is pointed out in a
letter which will be sent out over
the country by Mrs. Edward c.
Magdeburger. president Of the
District Federation Of Women's
Clubs.
A draft Of the letter, which asks
support of national representation
for the District. was read yester-
day by Mrs. Magdeburger at the
monthly meeting Of the federation,
held at the Hamilton Hotel. The
federation Endorsed its contents
and its president explained that
she would send copies to the State
federation presidents Of the Gen
eral Federation Of Women's Clubs
IN 48 States and Alaska.
Earlier, the group had voted to
ask President Truman to include
in his State of the Union message
to Congress a request for favorable
action on the Nicely resolution,
providing for national representa-
ton for the District through an
amendment to the Constitution Of
the United States.
In another action, the federation
asked that more women be ap-
pointed to, the District Board of
Education. Mrs. Charles H. Pierce
introduced the resolution. con-
tending that women should have
equal representation on the board
with men," Mrs. Magdeburger was
appointed to the board last spring.
The local federation's action on
national representation was in
line with campaign in support
Of the Nicely resolution which will
be carried out this year by the
General Federation of Women's
Clubs. Mrs. Leslie B. Wright, ma
tional legislative chairman of the
organization, announced at the
November meeting that the drive
has the full Endorsement Of the
national president, Mrs. j. L.
Blair Buck.
In her letter. Mrs. Magdeburger
highlighted the voteless plight of
the District of Columbia"
Taxation without representa-
tion'-where have you read that
phrase?" she asks. I'm history
books-oh yes-before the Ameri-
can Revolution. But look again;
it is written here in this letter
to you.
"The District has no vote.
1--WE pay taxes, support armies
with our money and send forth
our men to fight the battles of
our Nation.
"Our women have fought long
and earnestly that other women
in the States could have suffrage
and still we cannot vote"
Mrs. Magdeburger outlined the,
provisions of the Nicely bill and
solicited the action of the State
federation leaders in getting their
members to urge their represent
atives in Congress to support the
Nicely resolution. II am sure that
they know the power OF the.
women's votes" she concluded.
