does the average woman think
about current problems of the day?.
Woll, for one thing, she's con
siderably better Informed about
them ihun the averjigo man. She
has her own ideas and she noesn't
suy."l don't know" to any of your
questions.
Mrs. Jacob Abel Is Cincinnati's
"average woman." awarded that
distinction by a school mothers'
club thut surveyed tho city pretty
widely. . She Is middle-aged, the
jwlfo of a bookkeeper, mother of
two children. The clubwomen who
'selected her felt thut who typified
the averuge woman In Cincinnati
und elsewhere.
Sho roads the newspapers and
magazines und thinks about what
she reuds. Home time ago an "uv-
, eruge man," selected In Iowa, be-

Here are a few of this nverugo
woman s views on current issues:
Nlcarugua: "Well "It does seem
bud to have to send our murines
down there. - Hut I huvo always
thought wd should trust our gov
ernment to do whut Is right. I'er
haps we will find a way out of lhls
Nicuraguun troublo sooner than we
think."
Companionate marriage: "I have
just been reading Judge Klndsey's
bonk about It, und I am afraid I do
not agree with It, although I think
ho Is right to waken parents. They
must lourn that tho world hus mov
ed since their day." '
I'rohlbltlon: "Well, that's n hard
one. Hut 0110 thing I do know. Nol
drinking Is much better, much saf
er thau drinking. What makes
people want to drink? Just because
thev are told not to? Aro they ull
children? Well. I think of my own
children when I say I would llko
to get rid of drinking. They huven t
-gono with tho crowd so far. Hut
.maybe I'd -heller touch wood."
