What is the remedy? We can
help Anne and her mother to be
a little more courteous to each
other. but mother has lost her
own daughters respect and Anne
will leave home as quickly as
possible.
But for others? The, easiest
remedy is often to strengthen the

I have no doubt that q majority
OF all divorces are unnecessary
undesirable and could be pre-
vented by the exercise of a very
moderate amount of effort, along
with some expert help. But if a
divorce is carried through, don't
make it more bitter than neces-
Sary.
Divorce is a drastic and painful
surgical operation. When a sur
geon has to perform such an
operation he does not rub dirt and
salt into the wound. But many q
husband or wife does so in di-
vorce proceedings. Divorce at
best Is bad enough, Don't make

Quiz Contest
On Finland
featured

Members of the Capital Divi-
sion, Woman's National Farm and
Garden Association, who knew
their Finnish geography and his
tory were the proud owners of
additions to their libraries when
they left for their homes following
the associations monthly meeting
at the YWCA yesterday.
The informal quiz show, with
book prizes for the lucky winners,
climaxed a program which fea-
tured DR.. c. o. Frietsch, Press
Counselor of the Finnish Lega-
ton, as guest speaker.
Nine. Nykopp, wife of the Fin
nish Minister, was guest of honor
at the luncheon preceding the
program.
DR.. Frietsch proved to be as
good a quiz master as speaker. He
posed such memory twisters as:
What is the percentage of Swedes
In Finland? What is the popula-
ton of the country's capital, Hell
sinki? How old is Finland's re-
nowned composer. Jan Sebelius?'
The ones who came up with
the right answerS-and in some
cases a lucky guess-were pre-
sented with beautifully bound
biographies of Finnish musicians,
artists and architects.
In his address, DR.. FrietSch
paid tribute to the women of
his country. Through generations
of having to shoulder the burden
during war and postwar periods,
"the Finnish woman has learned
to be independent and capable
of taking the initiative" DR..
Frietsch declared.
DR.. Frietsch hailed the gains
made by Finnish women in get
ting the vote and equal rights,
adding that acquisition of these
rights has opened the way forI
opportunity in almost every oc-
cupation. In the diplomatic field,
however. women are still re-
garded as newcomers, he point
ed out, and in this respect Fin
land lags behind other countries.
According to the Finnish consti-
tuition. however, a woman can
be elected president, he added.
Finland is looking forward toI
being host at the 1852 Olympic
Games, he said. It is his country'sI
way of announcing, he concluded,
that Finnish men and FINNISH
women struggling through, shoul-
der to shoulder, have survived two
recent wars and remained free
and democratic in the best sense
of the word"
DR.. Frietsch was introduced by
Mrs. Francis G. Ulen, program
chairman.
The program was opened with
a group of garden songs, sung
by Mrs. Clark Butler and arranged
by Mrs. H. Leigh Brite, music
chairman.
Distinguished guests attending
the luncheon preceding the pro-
gram included Mrs. Frietsch.
Sonora de la Colina, wife of the
Mexican Ambassador; Mrs. Clar-
ence j. Brown, Mrs. r. M. Gillette,
