Fannie Hurst Chides Women
Twittering About War Jobs
By Amy Porter
New York, Jan. 7. (JPh-Author Fannie Hurst turveyed
the wartime activities of America'! woman today, and
mourned:
PAGE TEN
"It is aad. Hera we art twit
tering like women again. Mak
ing much ado about how our
new defense uniform fit Up
setting our households while we
boast 'I leave the house at 8
and don't get home until
war work, you know.'
"Can't we women as a group
put a little thought into what
this war will mean to us ultl
mately. Instead of merely twit
tering?"
Miss Hurst is convinced, she
says, that this war, even more
than the last one, will mean
moral and social upheaval for
women.
Men Less Disturbed
"Though they fight at the
front men are not nearly so dis
turbed by war as women," she
said. "It has been so, always."
Miss Hurst's latest novel,
"Lonely Parade," out today, is
In a sense a study of this prob
lem the effect of war on wo
men's lives. The three leading
characters are career women
who made the most of oppor
tunities created by the last war.
"I made my three women
successful," said Miss Hurst,
"and it was my intention to
make them happy, but I could
not. They would not be happy.
They felt frustrated. Success to
them was dead sea fruit They
wanted the normal thing hus
bands and children, and noth
ing else could satisfy."
Does that mean, Miss Hurst,
that the career versus marriage
argument is settled In your
mind? That you are opposed to
careers?
"No, no," she answered. "I
am for more and better careers
for women and more and better
marriages, too. Mixed to suit
the Individual.
"But I am opposed to society's
present attitude toward career
women. Not only In the book,
but among my friends I sea the
bitterness that comes to women
who succeed in business careers.
They tell me tha struggle was
too great, the triumph not
worth Its cost It Is still true,
. I'm afraid, that a woman has
to be three times as good as
a man In order to get one-third
as far.
"That's what I hops this war
will change. Afterwards, I hope
women will not have to elbow
and gouge their way Into a
man's world. Instead, I hope
they'll be needed and taken for
granted In Industry and In the
professions.

combat tuberculosis, will achieve
Its 1941 objective were reported
to the board Tuesday night by

association board, in meeting at
the home of Dr. C. H. Paske,
that practically every commu
nity heard from had shown an
increase In sales over the pre

cards, now In the mall, bring
the expected result the goal will
be attained.
The booth sale of seals, car
ried on by the Junior group of
tne association with the cooper
ation of many volunters, estab
lished a new record this year
with an Increase of one-third
over any previous year. A vote
of thanks was extended these
workers by the Health associa
tion board. Mrs. Charles Barnes,
secretary, was also Instructed to
write letter of appreciation to
the press, the radio and other
groups, donating time and space
to the success of the annual
campaign.
Mrs. J. C. S. Wellls, associa
tion president, conducted the
meeting and plans were made
for the next bi-monthly session
of the Health association. It will
be held January 29th In the
courthouse auditorium.
Several letters from patients
In the tuberculosis sanitarium
were read. They expressed the '
patients appreciation of Christ
mas gifts sent them by the
Jackson County Public Health
association.
At the close of the meeting
refreshments were served by
Mrs. Paske.
