Cee tsXJ liiti una iui ad, I Suffrage Comes of Age THIS year for the first time daughters born after woman suffrage became the law of the land can accompany their mothers to the polls and vote. Suf frage has just become of age. Thus, in a sense, a whole generation has elapsed since that hot August day in 1920 when Secretary of State Bainbridge Colby announced that the Nine teenth Amendment had been ratified by three-quarters of the Btates. Subsequently all the rest ratified save Alabama, Maryland and Virginia. It took more time for the country to ratify the suf frage amendment than it did the Eighteenth, which "established" nation-wide prohibition, but the latter has the distinction of being the only one to be kicked out of the Constitution. The suffrage amendment appears to be in to stay. So accustomed are people now to voting by women that recollection of the stormy days preceding their acquisition of the ballot seems to partake of the fan tasy of dreams. Back in 1913 the famous march on Washington of "General" Rosalie Jones and her suf frage cohorts occurred. They were a rather quarrel some lot when they reached Washington and Presi dent Wilson refused to receive their petition. When repeal of the Eighteenth Amendment was before the country there were cracks to the effect that the old-fashioned saloon would not come back. It didn't. The new-fashioned one has stools. When the votes-for-women movement was at its height it was freely claimed that women would purify politics. It would be a difficult thesis to demonstrate that they have, although social legislation of more or less dubi ous value is the result of their efforts. Doubling the electorate has given to millions of hard-working homemakers and women in industry, trade and the professions a self-expression to which their contributions to society entitle them. R.S. Plea to Pull Together I ABOR and management have been asked by '-'Chairman Davis of the Defense Mediation Board not to exploit the defense program as a means of strengthening or weakening unions. He asked unions not to demand closed shops just because they know "we are in an emergency and the opportunity is better for that reason," and he pointed out that a company should not refuse a re quest for union security "just because it thinks the men won't strike in the faee of public opinion." Mr. Davis has here a reasonable plea. He pursues the judicious course of mediator by directing his remarks at both camps. The approach can be ampli fied by stressing the fact that labor and management are mutually dependent not only for profitable oper ation but also for sheer existence. The worker cannot keep his job unless the boss makes more than he spends; the boss cannot keep his business alive with out productive effort by the worker. Senator Byrd recently stated that from January 1 to August 12 of this year 2,950,700 man days were lost through strikes on army contracts alone, and that during the same period 21,151,000 man days were lost on navy contracts. This seven-month total of 5,101,000 man days is sufficient inspiration for Mr. Davis' statement. i v lumjuv w fum vu v Ui u peace on me taDor ironi win De jusi as imponanc when the emergency ends as it is today, if the nation is to return to a normal way of life. But that is just one of the problems that is being left to the future to solve. R.S. Women in Defense Jobs IN the light o'f the part that women are taking in replacement of industrial man power in defense industries in Great Britain, particular interest at taches to the survey just concluded by Paul V. Mc Nutt, federal security administrator, of the part women can play, if necessary, in similar industries in the United States. Much secrecy surrounds the degree to which wom en are employed to replace man power in England and Scotland. In instances where not skill but brute strength is the primary requisite the British are em ploying three or four women to do the work of one man. In the survey just concluded by Mr. McNutt it is skill rather than physical strength that is counted upon as a potential asset to relieve threatened labor shortage. ' CURPRISINGLY, 4t is revealed that in twenty-one key industries almost two-thirds of the jobs can, if necessary, be filled by women. Out of almost 1,900 separate jobs there are but 1,100 require no more strength of women. As shortage of man power in creases it is highly important that no fewer than 654 of these jobs can be fulfilled by women as capably as by men with training that will require but a com paratively shnrt time. It is notable that women can replace men in actual physical tasks in airplane, ship building and machinery plants. DRIMARILY such employment of women would be as helpers rather than skilled mechanics in key ance as avoiding confusion if the war lasts for years, with even greater economic contribution by the Unit ed States than is at present contemplated. In any event, there doubtless will be enrollment soon of . , . , ,., women on a considerable scale in defense industries, if not on such a wholesale basis as is revealed to be possible.

If no one Is im mune from los ing his mind and mongolian idiocy may oc cur in any fam ily. Just how should y o u ng people contem plating marriage approach the problem? C. G. R. About five per cent of the total number of mental defectives are so-called mongolian idiots. They grade from the Idiot class (men tality that of a normal child of three years or less) to the lower limits of the moron grade (men tality of a normal child of twelve). They are generally placid, affectionate, active, imi tative and easily managed. The term "mongolian" or "mongolism" Is applied to this type of idiocy merely because some of the physical character istics distinctive of the group bear a superficial resemblance to the characteristics of the Mon golian race. The head is under size, brachycephalic (nearly as broad as it is long). The eyes are oblique. Nose flat and depressed. Hands short and stumpy, spread ing tapered fingers, little finger short and in-curved. Feet broad with wide gaps between toes. Aside from the fact that mon golism happens now and then in any family of any race regardless of heredity, the cause or explana tion for the condition is not known. Genera! causes of feeblemind edness (including idiocy, imbecil ity the Imbecile's mental devel opment does not advance beyond that of a normal seven-year-old child and moronity) are as fol lows: I Alcoholism.

The table is getting heavy with chips. On the day before Kurusu is said to have gone pessimistic ln Manila, President Roosevelt announced that American marines may be withdrawn from China. That, if done, would be In the nature of clearing the decks for action. It thus amounts to shoving in an other stack and looking at Japan with a what-are you-going-to-do-about-it expression. It was Kuruso's move. So he talked as he did.

C, Nov. 10. Somehow word has spread around that the government has money to spend building ar mories for the R. O. T. C, at universities and land grant col leges. Applications have been received for armories by federal works administration, but the office of John Carmody, admin istrator. The is in the Virgin islands trying to get his nerves straightened out) declares there are no funds nor appropriation for such enterprises, and that is that. University of Idaho, at Mos cow, heard the report and pre pared an application for $100, 000 to take care of its R. O. T. C. students. Others sent in appli cations; after this nothing hap pened. The money was supposed to come from a special defense fund which would lapse June 30 end of the fiscal year. How the impression started Is not clear, but so far as anyone in Washington knows there was never such a fund. e AT the request of the state board of higher education of Oregon, Senator McNary intro duced a bill (S.999) providing that FWP allocate funds for an armory at University of Oregon. The school board had also filed an application for $184,875 and for the sponsor's participation offered $30,000. and the pro posed legislation was intended to bring matters to a head, spe cial defense fund or not. The McNary bill has now been acted on by Secretary of War Henry L. Stimson. He vetoed the pro posal; declared over his signa ture that an armory for R.O.T.C. was not Important for military purposes. I That decision by the secretary of war banishes hopes of any armories at western schools. It is the policy of the federal gov ernment that states or counties should build armories. e e e THE "hot wheat" situation is not clear to most of the grain growers of the northwest, so here is what the house com mittee on agriculture did: For wheat grown outside AAA al lotments a penary o. " " "' 1940 crop For the 1941 crop JJUV CI II II leu. 1UM11S vwcitj a from 56 cents to 85 cents a bushel and the penalty was In creased 34 cents, or 49 cents. This penalty (on those who did not co-operate is only on the 1941 crop. It will be necessary next year to vote again on tho wheat Issue, and the committee feels that if the wheat farmers vote down the AAA program they will lose everything. Natu rally, the farmers who refused to co-operate dislike being penal ized, but the agricultural com mittee Insists on protecting those who did support the program to 85 percent of parity. The committee says the Unit ed States could get along for two years If not a bushel of wheat is grown. There is enough wheat in the world, says the committee, to meet demands for three years. Canada alone has more than 600 million bushels and doesn't know what to do with it. This year th north west had a bumper crop. And. as one committeeman explains the farmer, who operate must be protected. For 1942 the plan Is to reduce wheat acreage an- other ten million acres and increase the compensation pay- menu to those in agreement. TO prevent PUD promoters or others from obtaining funds to build steam plants Instead to taking power from Grand Coulee and Bonneville, Rep. Walter M. Pierce introduced a bill which had a kickback. As Pierce wanted the bill. It provid ed that no government agency could make a loan for the In stallation of a steam plant In the Columbia basin without a license or permit from the fed- i eral power commission. When ! the drafting bureau prepared ' I the measure "steam plant" was. left out, with the result that the bill looked like an attempt to withhold any further power development in the northwest. Promptly from Oregon and 1 Washington came letters from government ownership groups making inquiries. Mr. Pierce had another bill prepared cor recting the first. The bill may have been Inspired by two men formerly connected with Bonne ville administration who are now In th PUD business and are In the national capital try ing to borrow from RFC money to construct a steam plant for a PUD ln the Longview co- -itry. Th Pierce proposal Is only a 'gesture, for th measure cannot I pass. WAGERS are offered In the 'national capital that the United .States will be in the war up ! to the neck within a few months and that within a year an ex- petitionary force will be sent somewhere. There may be no ! formal declaration of war, but land forces will be following : the navy, which has been at war j for a couple of months, since the ! day the "shoot on sight" orders j were Issued by Presiden Roose ivelt First troops are expected j to be sent to bases now almost ! completed ln Ireland and to ; Britain Itself. News Behind The News By Paul Mallon (Continued Prom Page One) tainly have Insufficient power to start anything. Around here the Idea of an invasion through Franca or Spain is considered preposter ous. All plans locally are projected tkward the possibility of a 1942 campaign. e e e AT a not too widely advertised "session of the 158 house Re publicans (only 9 absent) a reso lution was adopted re-affirming the Philadelphia platform. The re-affirmation pledged the house minority tq this following stated party principle: 'The Republican party Is firmly opposed to involving this nation in foreign war." Only four votes were cast feebly against this re-affirmation. The result was not sent to Mr. Willkie, but he probably will hear about it. e e e CENATOR Tydings gave ex " pression to a cloakroom con viction when he suggested that Mr. Roosevelt has not thought out the economic results ot his war program. . Disturbing to many a politi cal authority here is the disin clination of the White House to take hold sharply of the price and wage problems, and the of ficial inclination to let labor work out Its selfish destiny. The theory upon which the government is working is appar ently based on the supposition that taxation will pay the huge debt in time, but little thought has been given to post-war prob lems. $5000 Heart Balm For Baker Husband Pendleton.
