A few nights ago I tuned in a
radio program which was already
in progress so that I did not catch
the name of the program nor who
was tire eminent psychologist be
ing interviewed". He must have
been eminent, because, of course,
CBS not concern itself with less
than the eminents. The burden of
the discussion however, seemed to
be “What is wrong with women.’’
Being a complete feminist I im
mediately perked up upon discov
ering that once again the country
lias settled down to the point that
there is nothing left to argue aoout
except what is wrong with women.
Having lived so long away from
the Slates 1 had not been aware of
the fact that there seemed to be
anything seriously wrong or differ
ent about the female of the species.
But the emcee and the eminent
psychologist, who seemed to be
i German or Swiss from his accent,
| were so learnedly and profoundly
conversant with the defection of
women that they were almost con
vincing.
After floundering for a quarter
hour the good psychologist con
cluded that women are self cen
tered, flighty and spendthrift, given
to the overuse of cosmetics.
Of course, according to this gen
tleman, the poor creature cannot
be. blamed because she was en
dowed by nature with this weak
ness and intended by Providence to
be subordinate to the glorious
male, and is really more to be
pitied and trained than censured.
Oddly enough this discussion was
followed by "Easy Aces" who were
having their usual difficulty, caused
this time by Jane’s connection with
an astrologist.
The natural conclusion to be
drawn from these two unrelated
programs was that the eminent
psychologist must be under the
thumb of a domineering wife whose
| life is controlled by the stars.
Thursday night there was an
other discussion on the burning
. question of women. Although this
j was more sensible it did leave me
| wondering.
Can it be possible that this sub
! ject has really become so import
ant that magazines and radio are
devoting real time to the diseus
j sion of it?
Someone should inform Mr. Tru
man of the dangerous step he has
recently taken by appointing a

, woman, for the first, time in his
tory, as Treasurer of the United
States.
For the first time in history also
we have a woman senator elected
in her own right; governors, may
ors and councilwomen are now
common. *
Some of the menfolk really be
lieve that women are equally in
telligent and able as men and cap
able of carrying their share of the
public responsibility of govern
ment. Others, however, in dis
gruntled argument, seem to live in
fear of losing their dominance and
continue to berate the female who
dares to step outside of her heredi
tary sphere of the home.
! In Seward, we women continue
serenely on our way, keeping up
the home and doing whatever
comes to hand to be done, without
stopping to analyze the job or de
cide whether it should be done by
man or woman, so long as it is
done.
Let them argue—we will still be
here after the program is for
gotten!

| The Public Roads Administration
i will add another room to its offices
j in the Federal Building here. The
| office, under the direction of Baird
: French, has found it necessary to
find new space with the increase of
highway work in this district. The
additional room was formerly occu
pied by the commissioner's office.
The commissioner’s office has
been moved to its old quarters on
the second floor. This will make for
better service, since all the records
are located on the second floor near
the court room and marshall’s of

Why Do Catholics Pray to Mary?
Catholic devotion to the Mother
of God has been the custom in the
Church from the earliest days of
Christianity. This is proved by
the writings of the early Fathers
and by the still extant relics in
the .catacombs.
But, remember, all our prayers
to the Blessed Virgin Mary have
just two purposes: First, to please
Almighty God by honoring, rever
ing, and praising His Mother, upon
whom He conferred the highest of
honors. Second, to plead for her
intercession before the throne of
God for our worthy needs.
This is typified by our great and
most frequently used prayer to
Mary—the Ave Maria:
“Hail, Mary, full of grace. The
Lord is with thee. Blessed art
thou among women and blessed is
the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.’’
(Words of honor, praise, and ex
altation, spoken by the Angel
Gabriel and St. Elizabeth, as shown
in your own Bible (Luke 1:28-42).
“Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray
for us sinners now and at the hour
of our death.” (No-worship, just a
plea for our Blessed Mother’s prj*y
ers now and just before we are to
meet our God.)
The Catholic devotion to the
Blessed Virgin is so beautiful, so
inspiring, so well authenticated,
that we cannot understand why it
I is the Catholic Church, almost
alone, which fulfills Mary’s own
j prophecy: “From henceforth all
generations shall call me blessed”
(Luke 1:48>. .
Mary, the Mother of God, has
been immortalized by poem and
prose, by painting and sculpture,
by song and by. prayer, down
through the ages. The poet Words
worth—not a Catholic—wrote:
Mother! whose virgin bosom was
uncrost
With the least shade of thought to
sin allied. '
Woman! Above all women glorified
Our tainted nature’s solitary boast.
If it's anything Catholic, ask a
Catholicl
