FRENCH OPERATE UNIQUE HOSPITAL Py Times Special PARIS, March 6.—A philanthropic institution which is supposed to be unique of its kind now is in operation in Amiens, chief city of the province of Picardy. It is a secret maternity hospital established by the municipal authorities. The service is free and patients are not required to make known their names. Instead they place papers showing their identity in an envelope which is sealed in their presence. This precaution is for the event of a fatal accident. The envelope, still sealed, is returned to each patient as she leaves the hospital.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Success for Women Not Mere Chance Attacking the “luck or mere chance” theory of the success of women in high executive positions. Edward A. Filene in an article in the March Issue of "Independent Woman” maintains that the winning of high positions for women is a matter of careful preparation, straight thinking, hard work and good health. Because business is passing through some of the most basic changes, says Mr. Filene, women who carefully study the changing trends and avoid traditional thinking will have a definite advantage over those who fail to follow this movement, whether their competitors are men or women in the quest for higher positions. "How can women best fit themselves to assume new responsibilities efficiently?” Mr. Filene points out that this is a vital question to all women '*“’ H ng for careers in business, because the employment of women in many positions is as yet only experimental, and failure of one woman in a position hitherto untried by women might close down similar posts for all women. Asa partial answer to the ques-

tion of proper preparation, a few of the possible means Mr. Filene recommends are basic training in schools for business women, supplemented with actual experience, correct thinking, and study beyond the position that lies just ahead. Mr. Filene holds that one of the most pernicious myths that handicap those who aspire to high positions is the belief that really successful people of the world are super-men and super-women. He maintains that they are nothing of the sort and have only attained their posts with the price of straight thinking, hard work and good health in proper proportions. With the fall of the barriers of tradition and traditional thinking, concludes the article, the future holds a brilliant promise for women in business.
