Foreign Problems
Form Subject Of
Interesting Paper
The members and guests of the
Wednesday Study club beard many
Interesting and pertinent facts per
taining to International problems. In
the paper given March 1, by Mrs. J.
F, Lawrence.
First she stated that never did for
eign relations Involve so many inter
esting problems as now. Among the
many things needing study, to under
stand these problems, she mentioned
political alliances In Europe, the
League of Nations, International con
ferences, the unhappy situation In
the Far East, reparations and allied
war debts, and the coming world eco
nomic conference.
Lacking time to discuss all these
questions, she stressed the political
situation In Europe, and the repara
tions and allied debts. The whole
Divot upon which the future of Eur
ope depends Is the answer to the
question shall things stay as they
are? T8 dispute over the boundary
lines between Germany and Poland la
as dynamite and Is a menace to the
whole world In Its unsettled state.
Th authors of the newest book on
the economic situation declare that
doiM away with all war dents
would hasten world prosperity. And
that the demand for -be payment
would be detrimental to the debtor
nation.

7. C. T. U. Notes
By Mrs. Wm. H. Hill.
Scientific Temperance Instruction.
"Our purpose to educate the young"
is embodied In the scientific temper
ance instruction department, of
which Cora Frances Stoddard, 400
ontiiitrin nt... Boston. Mass.. Is na-
tmnai director and Mrs. Minnie Bry
ant, 101 Cottage street, Medford, IB
local director. This department works
to promote the Instruction through
our public schools of nearly 26.000,
000 young people In the truth about
the nature and effect of alcohol and
ftthr narcotics, and their training
to lntflUlKent, voluntary sobriety.
The W. C. T. U., as an organiza
tion is especially Interested In watch
ing over the observance of the law
requiring the Instruction and In co
operating with the schools In making
It effective for thousands of superin
tendents and teachers who welcome
the supplementary material and other
.ixt.&ncA that the w. v. j.. u. v

Demonstrating this point, a few
years ago, one of our western states
discovered through one of our state
research directors, that a prominent
hygiene text book used commonly
In the 5th and 6th grades, had been
bought up by a "wet" syndicate and
a whole chapter from this text book
had been supplemented with a trea
iu An how to construct a "still
rd vhm maklna of "home brew."
Th naid W. O. T. U. director, who
... head of the state P.-T. A.,
immediately got In touch with the
state commissioner of education and
with the state superintendent of pub
lic instruction and they examined a
number of the books In question. The
' result was a thorough investigation
and thousands of these texts were
discarded and the publishers were
caused to take this chapter out of
Vi1r text book.
We give the name of this text If
you are interested; we are glad to
state that the edition of this text
was corrected In the Issues following
1918, but even today our workers
find some of the old editions in
mineral use In outlying districts
where books are furnished free.
Next week we hope to tell you more
about this most Important department
that has functioned for more than 60
years and was the outstanding reason
m America choosing through its
to tars who had received their Instruc
tion In the public schools, the 18th
amendment. Our local director, Mrs.
Bryant, will be glad to co-operate
with parents and teachers In remov
ing any harmful or objectionable
ideas being taught In our community,
and to work for their elimination.

Age Claimed Asset
To Business Woman
An article of Interest to all women
In pursuit of business careers appear
ed in the National Business Women's
Week, sixth annual observance issue.
It tells of surveys, which bring an
optimistic outlook to all, for each
and everyone is sure of one thing, re
gardless of the times, "years will
bring age."
The article reads:
Age looms up as a possible asset,
not a liability, to business and pro
fessional women. In two surveys
made by the National Federation of
Business and Professional Women's
Clubs, the organization which spon
sors observance of National Business
Women's Week.
A survey conducted Jointly with
Bryn Mawr college and now In pro
cess of tabulation Indicates that in
many professions age has a distinct
advantage over youth, bringing with
It higher earnings and more rapid
advancement. The same survey shows
that of the first 6000 women report
ing those over 60 years of age earn
the highest wage, a median of $1926
being reported by them, as compared
with a median of $1880 for women
between 40 and 60, of $1490 for wom
en between 25 and 40 and of (1010
for women under 25. "This Is cheer
ing indication that for this group,
at least, advancing years did not re
sult In discrimination," says Dr. Ul
llan M. OUbreth, chairman of the
research committee of the federation,
the agency which sponsors such sur
veys. A survey of 14,000 members of the
national federation made by the
University of Michigan and published
In 1930 Is corroborated by the Bryn
Mawr study as respects advancing
years. It indicates plainly that the
earnings of business and professional
women do not drop until late In life.
In the Michigan study salaries rose
until the age of 50, remained at
about the same level till 60, and
dropped only after that age. More
over in some occupations there was
not even a tendency towards wage
decreases after 60.
In many other respects the two
studies corroborate each other. They

flag code; to help suppress antl
patrlotic organizations. The next
number on the program was from
the Washington school. Leaders cho
sen from the 4th and 6th grades of
the Washington school demonstrated
how they conduct gymnastic exer
cises for their squads. Following this

ment. The girls received a hearty
applause. Mrs. Volney Dixon gave a

ture had to be built as the original
