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.

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. R.S.

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.

No Money For

Situation Told
A.E.F. Expected
Within Year
Br Joha W. rally
Washington, D. 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

Wild Gees Feed
The Dalles, Ore., Nov. 10.
(AP) Flocks of wild geese are
feeding off grain fields in Gil
liam, Sherman and Wasco coun
ties, but damage is less than
usual. Farmers said many of the
fields were burned over and
never harvested. Volunteer grain
which has appeared since is at
tracting most of the flocks.
There are about 4.500 native
reindeer owners in Alaska.
