as long as the majority of us
keep ever in our minds the vi
sion of pure, untrammelled lib
erty under law, these extremists
will be powerless.
But let us never make the
mistake of thinking that by
simply making speeches, by
simply feeling an emotion, we
have done anything of much
value in the cause of liberty.
1t is when our beliefs are trans
lated into action that we prove
ourselves virtuous. In the field
Of religion we see that prayer is
good, but not unless it is linked
to good works. The man who
prays to God but despises his
neighbor is a hypocrite or a
fool. And so is the man who
waves the flag or sings patri-
otto song but is prepared to
deny that the last two words in
the phrase liberty and Justice
to all have any Importance.

Less Than Half

IsComn1itted

CLEVELAND. Sept. 13 (AP)
After II weeks of competi-
ton between Chesapeake &
Ohio Railway and New York
Central Railroad to gain con-
troll of Baltimore g. Ohio Rail-
road common stock, more than
half the BIOS common shares
still are unpledged to either
side.
This was disclosed late yes
terday when C&O directors met
here and reported more than
26 per cent Of BIOS common
stock had been voted in favor
of the stock exchange offer
made by C6LO June IA.
The deadline for acceptance
Of the offer was to have been
yesterday, but the directors
extended it to November 80.
About the same time in
Washington L. w. Horning, a
New York Central vice presi-
dent, told a news conference
Central's exchange offer, which
expires September 26, had at
tracted a little less than a 20
per cent commitment from
BIO share holders.
Mr.. Horning predicted neither
company will get control of the
BIO in the near future. He
emphasized again that Central
'is ready at any time to sit
down and work out a merger
of all three lines"
In Baltimore, Howard E.
Simpson, president of the 133-
year-old BIO, expressed dis
appointment at the CSSO offer
extension. He said he felt the
extension "only continues the
period Of indecision." He
added that the C65O directors
action was an indication C&O
was mot interested in a prompt
merger, but only desires to
control B&O."

Women Alone

There are 9,300,ooO house
holds in our land today which
are headed by women-mean-
ing 18 of every 100 households.
Even among experts on our
population mix" few are
aware of this astounding total
and startling percentage. Few,
If any, reports have been writ
ten for us explaining the rea-
sons for and the implications
of the fact that in so many mil
lion households today a woman
is the financial head, the man.
ager. the sole or primary buyer.
Never before have so many
United States households been
headed by women. Just In the
last five years, Census Bureau
figures show, the total has risen
a full 100000. and since 1850
the increase has been almost
5000, 900. While you would ex-
pect the total of this type of
household to climb as the num-
ber Of households climb, the
percentage has been rising too.
In 1850, the percentage headed
by women was IA. Now it's ID

What are the explanations,
some of the implications?
An unhappy. obvious reason
Is that men in our land, on
