Can you re-bottle a woman? How
can you pour all these women in in
dustry back into their homes and put
the cork in?
For the most interesting thing is not
that women are turning lathes, working in
munitions, making airplanes, building ships, but
that they are reaching out for executive positions !
Think what that means !
And what is to become of that old standby, the
"sponge" woman? Will she be sunk without a
trace, that pretty little parasite who con
tributes nothing?
How is the adjustment to be made,
what of the home, how do women them
selves regard it? Helen Ring Robinson
has some very pertinent glimpses of woman
and her position in the new world after the
war in "Releasing Women for the Top."
The man who jumped
into the sea
BY ISRAEL SOLON
A man is swimming after the little boat
steadily, persistently, relentlessly.
After the solitary life boat, already over
crowded with men and women.
"Get away! Keep away from us I" they
shriek. "Knock him on the head brain
him, somebody!"
Then from the water came the proposal,
"Sell me a place, one ot you I'll pay you
well for if
Who was this man that another, a man
with wife and children, jumped into the sea
in his place? This is one of the strangest
stories of the war that has come to light
m
The kind of wife he had
He was sick of it Sick of the same meals,
the same office, the same wife. He went to
New York.
What women his friend's wife and sister-in-law
were V He'd been a fool to marry
the first girl that came along. Eagerly he
saw more of the wonderful women. And
then it happened !
A scream a woman's scream cut sud
denly through the thick darkness of that
house. When he got back to his hotel
he knew ! Don't miss this illuminating
story of the crisis in a man's life "Just
Plain Wife" by William Dudley Pelley.

Little bewildered children whose fathers have been crucified
for daring to fight
Little homeless children whose mothers and sisters
have been carried away to horrors worse than death !
A little baby girl waiting on a gutted doorstep a
little baby girl with a face like an old woman, rocking
herself back and forth, back and forth, droning, "I'm
hungry, I'm hungry." And all about her the village
crumbling, wrecked, deserted. One of thousands of
children lost in the mad flights from burning villages !
When you hang up your holiday wreath and light
your Christmas candles, think of them.
