Woman's Viewpoint— Myrs. Ferguson Finds Paradox In Opposition to Equal Rights

By MRS. WALTER FERGUSON Scripps-Howard Staff Writer IT SEEMS STRANGE that so many women should be fighting against equal economic rights for their sex. Yet such is the case. Many thousands have ranged themselves against the equal rights bill, even while they loudly urge feminine help and leadership in every major enterprise. . Absolute equality between men and women or between men and men for that matter, will always be impossible. We know that. The amendment proposes only to give a, - woman the same pay for the same feel less concerned about their atwork and equal political authority.|titudes. But let's not be naive.

‘Cedas’ Protection

One of the surest means of protecting furs and woolens against moths is to store them in a red cedar chest when they are not in use. The cedar vapors spell death to the moth larvae which do the actual destructive work.
