Women Good Executives Zonta President Declares 1 By GAY PAULEY ' ' - UP1 Women's Editor New York (UPD Well, don't say you men in your comfortable executive suites weren't warn ed. A lot of those people angling for your places are we a ring curves. Wom en executives grow in num bers each year. But I Gav Pauley didn't realize how many of them are around and what a variety of jobs they held, until I talked to Mrs. Emma L. Conlon. of Paterson, N.J., president of Zonta International. . Mrs. Conlon is in Manhat tan this week for the conven tion of the organization, which takes in new members only by invitation and keeps its mem bership strictly to the gals who've gotten ahead. . They either boss their own companies, run others or, as Mrs. Conlon put it, "hold some policy making position." About 1,200 delegates are rt rpnrocpntin tr 14 000 VI. www. .-.,wvw memberfrorfi 381 clubs in 15 countries. Like Rotary ' It's difficult to get ait est! mate of the actual number of women executives in this country, but Mrs. Conlon says xn far as Zonta's membership potential is concerned "we've fljuy brusned me sunace. Zonta strives for a variety of career representation "We ha- waterworks owners, ou drillers,' women " in " govern ment, we even have a slaugh ter house owner," she said. One recent "career" issue of the organization's magazine featured stories on a woman aeronautical engineer, a wom an who owns her own bakery, a landscape architect, a the atrical agent, a probation of ficer and a geographer. - 'I think a woman makes a good executive because she is consciw-ntious ... she works so hard," said Mrs. Conlon. "I tell you one thing. We don't take as much time out for lunch as the man. That is why Zonta's never had much suc cess with the typical luncheon meeting." Chairman of Board Mrs. Conlon, a career girl since she finished business school right after. World War I, is board chairman of Colo nial Dye Works, a textile dye ing and finishing firm in North Bergen,"N. J. She begans a lot of other women success stories have started as a secretary. Mrs. Conlon actually wears four hats she is wife, working woman, president of Zonta which has meant 200,000 miles, Miss Pat Rushton won first for sculpture, and Miss Joan Laurila was second. Miss Lau rila also win two first and a second in the drawing and painting division, these being "Still Life with Violin," "Hopeless" and "Still Life with Coffee Grinder."

Mrs. Conlon's husband is a sales representative for her firm. I asked whether this had caused any conflict because, in effect, she outranks him "Heavens no," she said. "We've been happily married for 25 years . . I never could have done all I've done with out him." The couple has no children, but Mrs. Conlon with all other interests still manages to run an 18-room house and do most of the cooking when she's home.

Herb" Club" Member Gives Talk Mrs. Orma Farnham, Grants Pass, described a recent trip through Eastern Canada, the New England states and oth er parts of the country dur ing the last meeting of, Rogue Valley Herb society. The meeting was a brunch served on the patio of the Farnham home. The speaker, a home eco nomics teacher, was especial ly .interested in the '.various types of homes, food prepara tion and herb gardens ob served on her trip. She told of a visit to Ottawa, and of interesting spots in New Eng land, including the home of Harriet Beecher Stowe where "Uncle Tom's Cabin" was written. She also saw the home of H. W. Longfellow, Hawthorn House, Salem, Mass., and Harvard univer sity. In New York she visited Cornell university and West Point and, continuing south, found Williamsburg and Washington, D.C., of great in terest. She spoke of the fan-light windows found in eastern homes, and said no two are alike. She described one of cranberry glass at the home of Mrs. Stowe. Mrs. Farnham said she had acquired a new respect for herbs, since every where that fine food was served, the chefs had used herbs. She mentioned the French cooking of Canada and said everyone was pleased to tell her which herbs had been used to give the food a delicious, subtle flavor. Many rich, thick soups are served in Canada, she said, and much fish. The fish sauce is often a heavy mayonnaise green with finely cut French terra gon and parsley, Mrs. Farn ham reported. At Ottawa she visited an arboretum where many herbs are raised in greenhouse be cause of the long, cold win ters. The traveler also .described a museum of glass at Har vard where every specie of flower is shown in colored glass; each detail of stem, leaf, petal and calyx are per fectly reproduced, she re ported. . In Salem Mrs. Farnham visited Pioneer Village where every activity of colonial life is shown including a salt mill. a brick yard and cabins in various stages of construc tion.' Here the home of Gov ernor Winthrop showed the "yarb patch" planted near the kitchen door in a triangle, and she copied the names of the herbs of that day. The list included leeks, pennyroyal, dill, peppermint, sage, thyme, caraway, horseradish and. as- parague. . Near the herb garden was the tobacco patch, and Mrs. Farnham said she was told that in the early days smok ing was called "drinking to bacco." In Fredrick. Mrl Mrs. Farnham dined at the Peter Pan inn, and found the food flavored, seasoned and gar nished with herbs; much mint was used. Fowl is marinated in ginger ale, then baked and basted with a thin sauce made of the marinade seasoned with ginger, paprika, shallots and finely chopped parsley. Mrs. Farnham reported that near Grants Pass there are commercial mint fields in which sheep and geese are pastured. The owner report ed that the sheep and geese eat the weeds, but do not touch the mint. For the brunch, the patio tables were , decorated with bowls of nasturtiums and other flowering herbs. Guests were -Mr. and Mrs. John Foster, Anchorage, Alaska, P. D. Buckley, and the Misses Lou Penny and Kitty White, Grants Pass. Officer and Wife Here From Japan Houseguests of Mr. and Mrs. H. W. Crocker, 1830 West Main street, are their son-in-law and daughter, Chief Warrant Officer and Mrs. Donald Mentzer. Mr. Mentzer recently completed three and a half years in Ja pan and July 5 will leave for Camp Polk, La., his new as signment. Mrs. Mentzer is the former Louise Crocker. Make nutritive valuM nt foods an important factor when you shop for foods. Re member, the dark salad and cooking greens are richer in food value than the paler ones. Margaret Spader, home service editor of the Gas Ap pliance Manufacturers asso ciation, says that dark -green vegetables give you consider able amounts of vitamins A and C and are rich in iron. too Dandelion greens sorrel or sour grass, mustard greens and chard are among the dark green vegetables that are high in . vitamins. When . you eet greens home from the market, wash them thoroughly, dry the leaves on an absorbent towel, then place in a plastic bag and chill in the hydrator of your gas refrigerator. Roman Miscellany By MARGARET SCHULER Rome "Black Shirts Only God can bend the Fascist will. Men and things can never do it." Benito Musso lini said this when he was riding high on the crest. In retrospect, such bombast seems fantastic so few years have elapsed, so much has happened. Rome goes bustling on its way and Mussolini is never mentioned. No books are written about him, , no streets named for him, and no monuments built for him that is excepting one, which he engineered himself, a 60 foot obolisk with the word "Mussolini" engraved into it so deep that it cannot be carved out. The city had to decide whether to destroy the marble, or leave it standing. It is still there. That Mussolini's overween ing ambition destroyed his sense of values seems high tragedy. For surely giving the Devil his dues when time has blurred the hatred people feel for him, what good he did accomplish, will fall into focus. Like other dic tators Caesar, Napoleon he did leave an imprint. '- Much of antique Rome, lost in rubbage and debris, Musso lini caused to be restored. He cleared whole hills away to bring to light hidden treas ures. What was an indefinite grass covered elevation, he excavated to unearth the grandest stadium of all time the Circus Maximus cap able of seating 250,000 per sons. He cleared whole areas of slums, surrounding such antiquities as Trajan's Market. He swept away the dirt cover ing of centuries, to build an unparalled highway, to open vistas, bringing Old Rome and New Rome together in -dramatic juxtaposition. He built roads all over Italy, schools, hydraulic plants and govern ment buildings. The Mussolini obolisk is in his "Foro Italico," which is unfinished. This is a Sports arena. Surrounding it, 60 life sized, glistening white marble athletes stand poised on mar ble pedestals. The stadium which will seat 120,000, the pools, tennis courts, et cetera, are now being completed for the 1960 Olympics, and will be as spectacular as Mussolini had planned, but for which he will get no credit. On the Senate building is a long latin motto, "The Third Rome Will Spread . Over Other Hills Along the Sacred Two Anniversaries Marked During Visit of Family Mr. and Mrs. S. A.'Mushen and two sons, Robert and Alan, Portland, were guests at the home of Mrs. Mushen's parents, Mr. and Mrs. E. E. Gore, 116 Geneva street, last week when Mrs. Mushen was a delegate to the state conven tion of the PEO sisterhood. Other guests of the Gores were Miss Alice Holmback, music supervisor of schools at Coos Bay, Ore., Mr. and Mrs. Edward Cadle, Des Moines, Wash., and Dorothy Gore Davis, Tacoma. The group was joined by Mr. and Mrs. Harold Cook, Medford, another daughter and son-in-law of the ' Gores, to celebrate Mr. Gore's 89th birthday anniversary and Mr. and Mrs. Mushen's 19th wed ding anniversary. The Mushens returned to Portland by way of Klamath Falls, where they formerly lived. m SUMMER CAMPING The Y's WAY Sailing Archery ; Swimming AT DIAMOND LAKE Camping fun for beyt and girls t through 15.

The Third Rome was Musso lini's Rome. He had his hey day. Now it's the Fourth Rome. In the American Embassy are translations of all of Mus solini's speeches and remarks of interest. These two seem significant, in the light of what really happened, "Let us salute with a single shout, so that it will make our enemies tremble wherever or whoever they may be," and "The dic tatorship card is the supreme card, and once it is played, there is either a return to health, or a plunge into chaos." - Shoes of Bride Must Match Gown United Press International Fashion- calls for brides to walk down the isle in shoes which match .their gowns, says the National Shoe Insti tute. Bridal slippers are avail able in lace, silk, taffeta, satin or cotton pique. If the gown is made of tulle, the Institute suggests buying half a yard of tulle and adding it to satin shoes. V We'll be knee deep in color again next fall, predicts a hosiery firm. Stocking shades also will include an off-black iridescent which goes with anything. - The newest straw hat for men this, summer is made of one of the oldest fibers known to man "ramie." A product of tropical Asia, the fiber was used for wrapping Egyptian mummies 3,000 years ago, and has survived without disinte gration, says hat designer Harry Rolnick. He shows "ramie" in many different weaves, from a tweed effect to a rustic "natural straw" pattern. Look for "trapeze" aprons. A variation of the popular cobbler apron becomes the new ' silhouette. It falls in 1 a straight line from shoulder to fingertip or knee. Two pockets perch waist-high, and bows decorate slits at the sides. It drops over the head and does not require buttoning or fast ening. . Little bovs eet some new synthetic fabrics. A sharkskin and gabardine blend of da cron and cotton comes made up in suits and slacks for boys. Colored slacks also come with conservative striped suit coats. 1 Frosts Arrive For Visit Here ; Dr. and Mrs. Robert C. Frost and three children are visiting Mr. Frost's grandfath er, W. R. Bullock and Mr. and Mrs. K. J. Knutson, an uncle and aunt, 615 North Colum bus avenue. This is their first visit in 10 years. Accompanying the Frosts is Mr. Frost's mother, Mrs. Rose V. Frost, Oakland, Calif. The group came from Springfield, Mo., where Mr. Frost is a sci ence teacher in Evangel col lege. He is now attending summer school at Oregon State college, Corvallis, and the family will return to Mis souri in mid-August. Mrs. Rose Frost returned to this country in April from a Mediterranean cruise and tour of Egypt and the mid-East countries. She visited Leban on, Syria, Jerusalem, Jordan and Israel, and also flew to Athens and Rome. HEY KIDS HERE'S ADVENTURE AT ITS BEST!

California. 4" Myths About Women More myths and supersti tions are woven about woman than almost any other sub ject. "Myths," says Dr. Ewan Cameron of McGill univer sity, "are yesterday's truths." In a world of progress, yester day's truths are constantly changing in the light of to day's facts. Yesterday light ning was a bolt hurled by an angry god from Olympus; to day it is electricity discharged in the upper atmosphere. Yes terday people who "prayed in tongues, wrestling with the devil upon the ground"-were children of a deity; today they are epileptics, spastica, or vic tims of mental ills. Myths undoubtedly origin ated in truth, which existed at the time. Truth changes with time, place, and people, but the old myths continue to plague the freedom of mod ern thought. Of all woman-myths, three are the most persistent: 1. "Wdman is intellectually inferior to man." This myth originated in days of war and harsh physical labor and died reluctantly 'when modern in dustry and "war put woman to work successfully beside man. Coeducation and freedom from constant pregnancy have more than proved the intellec tual equality of woman with man in granting her achieve ment in the realms of science, literature, law, invention, politics, music and art. 2. "Woman is physically weak." This belief stems from primitive taboos surrounding the menses, carried over into modern imaginary menstrual ills. Industry has shown that woman is capable of long sus tained physical effort, while man is capable of more spec tacular bursts of speed. In deed, it has been suspected that man would be unable to sustain the rigors of the birth process, because he has not sufficient strength! 3. "Woman is unable to ex perience sexual satisfaction." This Idea is fast disappearing with the bustle and the moustache-cup of the Victorian era, ''v '::'fc:'vvx.:'-v"::-x elastic back of Anot fabric clings gently ... or rides up, no matter how activt you art ' '' : , Uiiaa 111 fiwwvf in. nwil mora uplift than ether strapless bras.

A good woman is frigid, insisted a perennial Mrs. Grundy and caused countless cases of needless frigidity and marital unhappiness. "These myths," declares Dr. Paul Popenoe, director of the American Institute of Family Relations in Los Angeles, "stunt minds, warp human re lations, and frustrate a free and happy design of living. It's time to destroy them."
