Executive Believes That Men Must Take Women's Positions NO MAN, except possibly a few oltl foggies who live in an unreal past, object to girls going in for sports in a big way from swim ming to track and every imaginable activity in between. With their invasion of fields generally conced ed to men, feminine hords have taken up skiing, hiking, skating, soft ball, basket ball, occa sionally football and rougher sports like hockey. Nothing in the line of sports is closed to them but prize fighting and wrestling and soothsay ers predict that soon there will be women heavy weight boxing and wrestling contests, probably even more spectacular than those held by men. Merchants and promoters for several years past have sponsored basket ball and soft ball leagues for their girl employees. It keeps the young ladies in good physical condition, and sup plies an interest outside of their daily office routine. Most of these leagues have met with real success, paid their way handsomely from box office receipts, and are credited with adding to office efficiency. Moreover, and perhaps most important of all this regular exercise does keep the girls from late hours, and seems in many cases to keep them young, stimulating not only minds but bodies. Open air, sunshine, not too strenuous exercise, all combine to make a recipe for health. Sports for girls yes! Men, who in spite of re-' cent competition, still rule in a man's world, will agree whole heartedly that women can play out door games 24 hours a day and merit only cheers. Many men have noticed that in their own fam ilies the girls who go in for sports feel better, are less nervous, less given to hysteria, and In general are much easier to get along with something that every man can appreciate. The vote for girls in sports is practically unan imous. The difficulty seems to be that the women have not paused or even hesitated at that safe point Every other field is crowded with girls just out of high school or college. Especially In business offices And the vote here, among any average group of men who are asked the same question, is a defin ite "No! Girls do not belong in offices!" Two points are brought up like clock-work: It's bad for the girls and worse for the em ployment situation. The girls themselves gain little except a few more clothes and perhaps a few years of experience of no good to them in later life. This disregards cases where they are the sole support of their parents or dependents. Exceptions to any good rule always exist, and must be taken into account, but only as individ ual instances which prove the rule. m i.Wi L J V V...'- ' ' ' . . . ""-trr ... . Z.. g ' " -.

Lee Patrick, of the Hollywood Braves team, is slamming out a home run during a girls Softball league game. Evelyn Maxon Hall of the rival team is catching. These teams are sponsored by film notables and local merchants, and draw capacity audiences. A GIRL who has worked in an office for several ary, and imagine that nothing can take its place. years, er.rning her own money and spending what a lot of them think is that one day her it as she pleases, is seldom anxious to do without these privileges, settle down and make a home.a She's been accustomed to drawing, in thousands' of cases, almost as much money every pay day as the man she might marry. She realizes how little ha can buy with his salary, because she knows she must pinch and save to make any showing with her own. She doesn't stop to think that if she remained at home having, probably, a much better time her expenses as to clothes and meals and a thousand other things, would be consider ably less. She would not require, for example, as many stockings, street dresses, office dresses, coats, hats, gloves, and so on ad infinitum. What the girl does is to look at her own sal- Prince Charming will come riding in a big white chauffeur-driven car, and waft her to his palatial yacht, his private car, and thence to a country place where bills are paid by a secretary. When that fails to happen as it usually does! she gets a little bitter, a little resigned with her fate, and becomes the office old maid dis illusioned, unhappy, a girl who slowly but surely loses her appeal for any kind of a husband at all. She may go in for one of the sports sponsored by her employer, and eventually coach the team when the rest of the girls have "graduated" to a home, children, and a husband who works hard er than he did before he was married, and who undoubtedly is earning more money because his wife demands it. "I am gradually eliminating as many girls from my office as possible," said a well-known execu tive recently. "Their places are being taken by men and boys who work just as hard, for a little more money, and who in most cases need the jobs more than any girl. "When you stop to realize that we have some 12,000,000 people out of work, being supported by the government it's time we stopped to consider the causes. One of them, undoubtedly, is the num ber of women working in offices and in other fields. Let's make a guess and say there are 2,000,000 women working at gainful occupations, and that every one of those jobs could be done by a man. "All right Suppose we take these women and ' W u, he -THERS, however, have fod thei. J in a small home-and JlZZ ifi anA .... . .

It also is upsetting some of the oral office routine, because new employees have It 'learn the ropes' pretty thoroughly before to can even pay their way. times; they have just as much "right" as ama to work where they like. But in an era when it many millions of men are out of work, he feeli it both reasonable and wise that women confine themselves to realms for which they are ptobablj better suited.
