" jmittee on the war and tho religious!
revealed the fact that one of the
least-considered and least-used of the
world's stores of power lies latent
In the minds of women. Women, are
conscious as never before, not only
that they can be something more than
tho wards of society, but that the
world has actual need of their
peculiar contribution to Its thinking
and achievement.
The general acceptance of a place
in society for women not hitherto
granted to them and the discovery
on the part of women themselves
of unused powers and resources have
seemed to strike the match to a long
slumbering restlessness, and women
throughout the world have begun to
proclaim in action their rebellion
against limitations in whose reason
able basis they have long disbelieved.
"The ordinary every-day woman has
begun to think of politics as never
before. Women whose thinking had
been stirred for the first time by
their sudden plunge into world con
sciousness began to see the relation
between the political situation In
their own ward and the noceslty of
sending their sons Into the perils of
a world war. . . . They will be
likely to see It not as a game to be
played for the sake of the game.
but as a means for accomplishing
certain social results.
There are many uncertainties In
the unpredictable days ahead for the
church, for the state and Cor that
new thing which the war has dis
covered for us rthe common life of
a complex world order. To men the
adventure of life Is an old story; to
women the pages, etlll unturned, are
full of the thrill of the unexpected
and the unknown. What new values
would be released for the decisions
of tomorrow if the minds of womon,
hitherto effective only within the
home, could be brought to bear di
rectly upon the problems of the hour?
"The storehouse of power must be
released, not only because it may be
a reservoir of possibilities for help
In bringing In the new world orderj
it must be released because there Is
increasing danger in Its being pressed
back Into Its old prlsonings. There
will come a day of Wide recognition
of the social danger of chaotic un
tutored, undirected thinking on the
part of so great a fraction of the
whole society as women represent.
Even more, the meaningless substi
tute for thinking, made up of appre
hensions and prejudices, expression of
intuitive likes and dislikes, wnicn
society has alw-ays expected from
women, will be deplored aa uncrea-
tive and anti-social.
Out of the very inactivity of mind
and purpose to which our modern
society more or less condemns all
women cave those few who dare to
thrust their hand up out of the
epths out of the dead level of in
action there is born that spirit
of prejudice and Intolerance, that
endency to act on blind impulse.
which Is traditionally accredited to
women."

10.50 1 Sne did and has been doing so ever
3-j.oo .T1ti in starting a class for the
2i'oo help of foreign-born women in, the
lo.oo branch libraries of Arleta, St. Johns
since, with the result that she no
is assistant to the president, sales
manager of A. Rupert & Co., and of
fice manager, positions which call for
ability to handle a business that to
tals more than $4,000,000 a year. But
for all her responsibility she still
maintains the same laughing spirit
that impelled her to go into business
for the fun of it.
Indeed, she declares that business
as business would be dull were It
not for the enjoyment one gains from
it and the greatest fun of all, she
says, are the laughable situations
that have sprung up from the fact
that "D. C. Miner" on checks and
letters is generally accepted as the
signature of a man. Each day there
come to her desk scores of letters
addressing her as "Dear Sir." Men
have walked into the office time
after time and have either asked her
where her "boss" was or if her father
was in.
One time a huge six-footer who
represented heni in one of their
English branches stormed into the
office, determined to have a. most
belligerent time. Some minor diffi
culty had arisen through a misunder
standing in correspondence. "I am
looking for Miner." he shouted, glar
ing at the feminine bearer of the
name. "Where Is her" Sales Man
ager Miner drew herself up to the
full dignity- of her five feet four,
powdered the end of her nose and
laughingly Inquired Just what he
wanted of Miner. "I am here to tell
him Just what I think and if he
doesn't like it, I am here to back up
what I think. "Well, answered
Miner, "it is Just lunch time. Why
not take me to lunch and settle with
Miner afterward?"
The sales manager Is comely and a
brilliant conversationalist. "Delight
ed, my dear young lady; but tell me,
Just who is to be my luncheon com
panion. "Well, I'm Miner," she re
plied. As sales manager, too, she has
attended Innumerable conventions as
a representative of the company and
has always created a stir when her
identity became known.
As a successful woman herself,
Miss Miner has no platitudes to dis
pense to those who would climb the
ladder. Her own watchwords have
ever been: "Don't watch the clock."
"Don't watch the pay check." "Use
Judgment." "Always have time to
listen to the other fello.w he can
teach you something" and "A. smile
is always worth while." These are
the things that have carried her
through for the last ten years and
particularly after Mr. Rupert a deatn.
On his dying request, she prom
ised to direct the business until i
man of the broad knowledge de
