sentle’ Is Misnomer For Gym Drill of 1881, Smith Club Discovers

Alumnae to Present Feature at Dance Tomorrow; Dinner Parties to Precede It and Players’ Club Presentation of Two Skits.

By VIRGINIA MOORHEAD MANNON The wave of frivolity sweeping the holiday weekend will reach its crest tomorrow evening with the Smith Club dance at Woodstock Club and the Players Club’s opening performance at the Civic Theater with a dance

afterward at the Athenaeum.

: The joke is on the Smith graduates who complacently fancied their entertainment feature, “A Gymnastic Drill of 1881,” taken from Lucy Hunt's “Hanglbook of Light Gymnastics,” would be gentle exércise. The nine alumnae who have rehearsed the skit contend : they're “bent, bowed, crooked and exhausted” from the “light” ma-

neuvers.

#4 1:15 p. m., Mrs. E. C. Rumpler, Doubts Women Could ‘Stand Gaff’ As Airline Pilots

AKRON, Nov. 25 (U. P)—Jacqueline Cochran believes women are not fitted emotionally for the job of piloting airliners, although she competed successfully with male pilots to win the Bendix Trophy in this year’s National Air Races in Cleveland. “My aviation experiences have convinced me that women would not make good airline pilots—we could

not stand the steady grind,” she

* said. Women pilots in wartime? That is a different matter, said Miss Cochran. “In the strain and stress of war, women fliers would rise to the emer- ~ gency and do a marvelous piece of work,” she said.

Reveals Early Struggles

Miss Cochran “dropped in” to speak at the Akron women’s chapter of the National Aeronautic Association. For the first time, she revealed her only struggles while gaining recognition as a flier. “Six years ago I was quite an ~ unknown person, working in a store in New York,” she said. “1 left a good position to buy a small * airplane. From then on things began to happen to me thick and fast.” She emphasized, however, that for every “lucky break” she got, she received 20 discouraging ones. “My first plane cracked up on a - takeoff. The one school of pilot- - ing I wanted to enter was closed to women. Then I had a severe illness,” she said. : Encouraged by Amelia

“Although I finally ‘crashed through’ to the field of big-time aviation, I do not consider myself a heroine in any sense of the word. The real flying heroines were those il piloted planes 10, 15 and 20

ears ago. pYy Ye Miss Be clitan said that she was a very close friend of Amelia Earhart and really had learned to fly because of Amelia’s encouragement. “Amelia. spent much of the last six months of her life—before her attempted round-the-world flight— at my ranch,” the aviatrix said. “Had Amelia’s flight materialized, I was to use her plane to make a Paris flight.” This year’s Bendix Trophy winner recently was selected as the ‘one woman member of a new youth movement in aviation, headed by ~ Winthrop Rockefeller, John D. . Rockefeller’s grandson. .

“Home Unit to Get Treat Mrs. John Colvin, chairman of the Knightstown ‘Home Committee of the Hayward Barcus unit 55, American Legion Auxiliary, will take the monthly treat to Division 28 at the| Miss home Sunday. The group also will be presented with scrapbooks and by the post and unit,

chairman of the Applied Education Section, will present Miss Ida Conner, who will speak on “Where Shall We Find Creative Outlets for Children Who Have No Economic Responsibilities?” Mrs. Carl J. Weinhardt will preside at the 2:15 p. m. business meeting, and Mrs. Brown's talk is scheduled at 2:30 p. m. Mrs. Ralph Wright will provide a musical program. Mrs. C. J. Finch is hospitality chairman; Mrs. John F. Engelke heads the door committee, and Mrs. Martin Wallick is arranging for decorations. Hostesses for the tea are to be Mrs, Mary B. Hedges, chairman, Mrs. Fred D. Ensminger and Mrs. S. S. Meditch. Mrs. Clayton Ridge and Mrs. Felix T. McWhirter will pour.

Mrs. Woodring Heaps Praise on

Army’s Women

By MRS. HARRY W. WOODRING (Wife of U. S. Secretary of War) WASHINGTON, Nov. 25 (NEA). — I wish the Army would make me its press agent for about six months! What would I do? I would throw a new light on Uncle Sam’s great protective unit. I would show its romantic side, make it in the eyes of civilians the adventurous, thrilling, appealing outfit it really is. Do you suppose that casual observers know what glamour exists in the everyday events of Army life? Perhaps so—still, six years ago, I didn’t. I would do away with the news reels which show up that standard picture of a hulking steel-hooded monster of a tank, like some firesnorting prehistoric beast, forging through a brick wall to the accompaniment of appropriate, thundering sound effects. Perhaps this appeals to the man’s point of view. But what of the women? I would inject the feminine point eof view, too, into Army publicity without detriment to its masculine morale. I would show the civilian ladies of the country the glamour of the service. I would introduce them to the wives of the Army, an army in themselves. And what a fascinating one, what a thrilling, courageous one.

She’d Extol Ladies

I would show the ladies of the private-citizen world more of the Army ladies, how charmingly and proudly they entertain their generals on modest budgets, how bravely and efficiently they move their families and their wordly goods from post to post, how wholesome are their pursuits, how worthwhile their neighborly and civic endeavors, how adaptably they bend to the ways of a new station, how sportingly they follow and back their men in recreation and career. If their lives have difficult moments. you never hear of it from the Army wives. You see only shining eyes over mouths curled up at the corner. You listen in rapture to

| their tales of air shows over Texas,

of trips to distant American shores on transports, of hard riding cavalry officers at Riley, of interesting projects undertaken by the famed engineers, of weddings and christenings in beautiful little Army chapels, of gay parties given for life-long friends, of the joys of promotion after years of proved merit, of their pride in their stirring ceremonies. I would familiarize every civilian woman with the broad, full lives of the Army wives, the exhilaration, the beauty, the inner satisfaction of a life of service. The men of the Army we have all admired. To their women we owe a salute, those lovable gracious women who make a man’s Army possible, those ingenious ladies who counteract discipline with fun, who make living an adventure, who love their duties, sense their values, and see the golden windows in their own quarters.

Pilot Club to Elect Officers will be elected at the meeting Dec. 8 of the newly organized Pilot Club, a classified service organization for women. The group was established at a recent luncheon meeting at. Ayres’ auditorium and will hold meetings the second and fourth Thursdays of each month,
