We, the Women— Mothers Want A ‘Secret’ Of the Army

By RUTH MILLETT

THE AMERICAN housewife is ready to take lessons from Uncle Sam. She wants to know "the secret formula whereby he takes a darling son, used to being waited on and to throwing his things around, and ‘turns him into a neat, tidy guy who can reach -out in the dark and put his hand on anything he owns. ‘She has read that at Camp Blanding, Fla, Uncle Sam has put his soldiers into new caba-

ments where the boy who used to puth Millett spread out over a seven-room house now lives comfortably in a spate Seven feet square.

| SPECIFICALLY, the would like Uncle Sam to teach her how he: Trains his soldiers to hang up their clothes instead of walking out ‘of them and leaving them strewn ‘on the floor . . . gets the men to bring their guns in ‘when drilling

‘}is over instead of having to be re-

minded that it looks like rain and they had better go out and bring ‘em in . . . keeps them from spreading out so that they have possessions all over the camp . ,. teaches them

‘to have a place for everything and

to keep it there instead of yelling, “Where is that d shoe brush?” Young Mrs. America-to-be marries the same young man that Uncle Sam has fallen -heir to. But while mothers can’t seem to get him trained to live neatly in an.averagesize house, even though’ they spend 25 years trying, Uncle Sam manages the job in a few short weeks. Can’t wives be taught Uncle Sam’s system—or is it a military secret?

In offices they are always willing to take orders from much younger women and in countless .nstances you find them soon “mothering” the entire staff, from the boss to the office boy. They never snap back at you; sometimes they are almost humble, as if apologizing for their years. But people with an'eye on the future see these older women playing as important a part in the reconstruction that will come with peace as they are now playing in the war effort: Few will be content to return to the humdrum existence they had before. Little Tommy’s measles or housekeeping troubles will no longer be the sole subject of conversation; they will bring to the family circle, from their wartime ' contact with the outside world, a broader vision and a more generous understanding, besides accumulating interests
