We, the Women— Courtesy Aids Defense on Home Front

By RUTH MILLETT

DON'T BE SURPRISED IF ONE of. the by-products of national defense is national courtesy. A whole nation of people working toward a common goal, and called on for common sacrifices, may become more aware of eath other's rights and comforts than they have ever been ‘before. Perhaps the brief news item from Columbus, O, saying that Police Corporal Edgar N. Butler has asked fruit and vegetable hawkers to be more quiet when shouting their wares out of deference to ight workers in defense factories who must sleep in the daytime, is the beginning of a new era of thoughtfulness for the other fellow. London correspondents have for the past year been writing of the good manners, gallantry and neighborliness of the once self-centered, stand-offish Britishers—brought together in understanding and sympathy by a common threat and a common determination to conquer that. threat. There's no reason why the same spirit shouldn’t spring up in America, where we, too, are being drawn into closer understanding by the common purpose of self defense.
