Presidency i for Woman Advocated Ruling Ability of Two Queens, Elizabeth and Victoria, Cited. BY GRETTA PALMER Timn Special Writer VT EW YORK, Jan. B— Do you suppose the gentlemen of congress could be prevailed upon to initiate one more amendment in the course of their present session? An amendment, that is, if the contention of a writer to a newspaper editor is correct. Signing himself L. A. G., he writes, "The words or language used in thr* articles (of the Constitution) creating the executive department and prescribing the powers, duties and qualifications of the President are strictly masculine and clearly j show that the framers of the Constitution intended to restrict that office to the stronger (sic!) sex.” No such limitations, he says, are apparent in the sections of the Constitution dealing with the qualifications for senators and representatives. ‘Him’ Describes President Perhaps Mr. G. is right in his interpretation of the Constitution a.s it stands. It is difficult, from a lay reading of the Constitution it- | self, to see why he is so certain; reference is made to the President as "him'’ in several places, but that seems hardly conclusive. A woman more than 35, a natural born citizen of the United States, might, perhaps, put up a stiff fight to prove her qualifications for the office. But suppose that the supreme court decided against her and favored Mr. G.’s interpretation of the law. Now, it is quite likely that our periwigged ancestors in framing the law had it in mind t£at all future Presidents would be men. In that day, if you remember, the suffrage ! had not been extended to women j except by the incautious state of ! Rhode Island, where they were, through an oversight, legally permitted to vote. When one of them had the audacity to cast a ballot, the law was hurriedly changed, you may be sure. ’Rights’ Unknown The fathers of the republic, with such a background, could hardly have been expected to provide for the contingency of a woman's seek- j ing the office of chief executive. Every woman’s right to life, liberty | and the pursuit of happiness they might grant, but they would expect her to pursue her happiness without the blessing of the ballot. Women were not eligible for any elective office, and there seemed no reason to suppose they ever would be. But the woman of 1934 is a rather different creature from her colonial forerunner—a lady of doubtful liter- | acy but great skill in raising herbs and spinning flax and any number of activities which have disappeared from the domestic scene. That we should have to suffer from her limitations, imagined or real, is as illogical as it would be if we insisted on having slaves because she had a faithful pickaninny who always slept across her door. Women Have Changed Little In our intimate life, in our emotions and our dreams we are probably not so very different from the good ladies of 1775. We can read the eighteenth century writers and j feel as much at home with them as if they were our contemporaries. Essentially, a person is altered very little by the fact that he is travelling in an airplane instead of j a landau or a post chaise or a j chariot. We may greatly resemble I our ancestors in our personal life, j but the sphere of our activities has | changed greatly since their time. And those activities are being j limited and circumscribed by stat- I utes which were framed on the j supposition that women would al- i ways remain with their candle- ' moulds and butter-churns—in the | belief that no such chimera as the j woman in politics would ever arise. Well, it has. And it seems only fair to remove from woman's ambitious path a possible obstacle which j should never have been placed j there. Then perhaps we shall see | a woman President—and a good 1 one. Queen Elizabeth was not so bad as a ruler, you know. And Queen I Victoria, too, did pretty well.

Manners and Morals BY JANE JORDAN

Jane Jordan will answer questions about love, courtship, marriage, child training and personality problems in this column. Put your question in a letter today! Dear Jane Jordan—ln order to assist us in understanding our children and guiding them intelligently, please answer this question: Why do children tattle? MR. AND MRS. JOHN E. MILLER, Answer—l suppose that children tattle for the same reason that adults tattle—for the pleasure of

running down the other fellow’s ego in order to boost one’s own. Tattling is by no means confined to children, though when we get a little older, we usually call it gossip. The cheapest means of making yourself feel virtuous is to tell people how bad the other fellow is. Children tattle on each other

-m 4 A a* Hkt

Jane Jordan

in order to gain the favor of adults. If only they can disgrace the offender, how superior they will appear in comparison! If tattling is not encouraged but is met with disfavor, it will be discarded as a useless device. Children should be taught legitimate ways of establishing their importance, and then they will not feel the need of detracting from the importance of others. What makes a child feel important? Responsibility within his powers. Complete responsibility for a pet, such as a dog, a cat, a canary bird or some goldfish is an excellent means of encouraging his ego. Tasks which make a child feel necessary to the household help to increase his feeling of importance. If it’s nothing more noteworthy than bringing in the milk in the morning, the action makes him feel that he has a useful place in the family. Children should have the control

of small amounts of money. It is obvious that they can not provide for the necessities, but they can buy nonessentials, such as pleasant things to eat, from their own allowance. A child who never is allowed to make decisions is apt to feel useless, and will seek personal prestige in illegitimate ways, such as tattling or flinging tantrums. ana Dear Jane Jordan Please, please help me! I’m in a mental conflict and don’t know what to do. I am deeply in love with a young man whom I’ve known for a year. He is wonderful in every way, everything a girl would want. Recently we had a heart-to-heart talk. He asked me if I loved him and I told him I did. I’ve shown him I do in every way I know. I've given up everything for him, and he knows it. He hasn’t a job. but financial status does not matter to me. I ask only to be with him, to have our love- When we talked he told me he did not know whether he loved me or not- but that he though more of me than any one else. Don't you think that after a year of seeing me as often as five nights a week, he would know whether he loves me or not? Shall I keep on going with him under these circumstances, or let him go? I feel like cutting loose and not caring what happens to me, or taking the easiest way out, for unless I know he’s mine only, I care for nothing. JUST OVER TWENTY Answer—You should remember that possibilities are much more interesting than actualities, and you’re an actuality. It doesn’t do a hesitating lover a bit of harm to let him see that you are capable of being interested in someone else. You're trying too hard to tie the man down, and your very anxiety is your worst stumbling b'ock. Women are too intense in love, too insistent upon declarations of devotion. If the man is interested enough to see you five-sevenths of his spare time, why press him for a definition of his affection? Perhaps you care nothing for the financial outlook, but you may be sure he does. It is difficult for a practical man to commit himself definitely to a woman when there is no wherewithall in sight for her support. The man is interested in getting a job. You're interested in getting him. And here lies the chief difference between the sexes. If you were as intent on work as he is, you wouldn't be tied up in emotional knots either. Surprise him by interesting yourself in something besides himself. No man makes an effort when there's nothing left to win. a o a Dear Jane Jordan—l am a girl of 20 and have had few dates in my life. I am keeping company with a man past 30. He seems to love me and I love him. Now he wants to marry me. Is it advisable for me to wait a while longer and meet other boys? I realize that a man so many years older than myself is something to consider. As it is my first and only love, it might not be lasting. Please advise me to your best ability. GOOD GIRL. Answer—l think your plan to wait until you've met other boys is excellent. If the man is sincerely in love with you, he will give you plenty of time to make up your mind. It is entirely possible that you have put the man in your father's place. Given a little time, you might find someone nearer your own age who would appeal to you more.

REQUESTS FOR YUIiAID DROP Clearing House Handled Less Volume in ’33, Report Shows. There was a marked decline last | year over 1932 in registrations and 1 inquiries handled by the Indianapolis Christmas Clearing House, ac- ! cording to the twenty-first annual report of the organization, made public Saturday. In 1932 there were 7.083 inquiries: in 1933 there were 4,245. Registrations in 1932 totaled 5.979, and 3,871 in 1933. Registrations from benevolent organizations and churches dropped sharply. The clearing house does not provide gifts or relief itself, but works to eliminate duplications among families receiving relief "Bare statistics do not reveal adequately the work of service rendered by the clearing house,” Herbert S. King, chairman, said. "In addition to clearance work, the house had many personal contacts with those needing help and was able, in many instances, to direct those in real need to proper relief agencies,” he said.

Solution to Previous Contract Problem BY W. E. M'KENNEY Secretary American Bridee League TTANDS that are played letter perfect are not always the most interesting. The hand at which you steal a trick or give your opponents a chance to make a mistake, and it works, always gives great satisfaction. Today's hand was sent me by Fred Rodell of the Yale university school of law. Mr. Rodell and his partner, William Parson, by bidding bravely and by giving the oppoents a, chance to make a mistake, made their contract. While the bidding might be termed a little optimistic, the play was carefully thought out. West's opening lead was the queen of spades. Mr. Rodell could see that, while two losing diamonds could be discarded on the ace and king of spades, the opponents could cash the ace of diamonds and the ace of clubs. Os course, if both the missing aces were held in one hand, there

would be no chance to make the contract. But Rodell well reasoned that, if the aces were divided, he might give his opponents a chance to make a mistake and thereby make the hand. tt a a SO. instead of discarding a losing diamond from dummy, which certainly would cause his opponents to lead diamonds as soon as they got in, he decided he would try to make his opponents believe that he held strength in diamonds by concealing his strength in spades. He did not take the first spade trick with his ace or king, but ruffed it in dummy with the four of clubs and then returned the king of clubs, which West had to win with his singleton ace. There still was a trump in dummy. So west did not continue the spade suit. The question for West to decide was whether to lead a heart or a diamond.

The heart was led and now. of course, the hand could be spread for six oddIt is true that, if West had led a diamond, the declarer would have gone down two tricks.
