Lena M. . Phillips ; Believes
u Woman Would Make Ex
cellent President of U.S\
A leading American feminist be
lieves that at least 12 American wo
men are as ^competent in administra
tive ability, training and background
to be President of the United States
as the majority of men who have held
the office.
While. American- political parties
comb the field for Presidential timber.
Lena Madesin Phillips, named seven
women who, she thought, could fill
the job.
Among the seven mentioned are
. Mrs. Franklin Roosevelt, Ruth Bryan
Owen, Frances Perkins, a former
member of Congress (Ruth Simms),
judge Florence Allen, Jdsephine
Rodie, mining executive and Assist
ant Secretary of the Treasury; and
Lillian Gilbreth, university instructor
and consulting' engineer.
Most of the women have been
married and, five., have children. - In
fact. Dr. Gilbreth, is the mother of
12. :
Miss Phillips believes the day is
sure to come when a woman will
be installed in the White House.
These women, she says, have ’suf
ficient understanding of “fundamental
■ ... social and economic problems” for
(the job and ‘.‘women in general. have
a more detached approach , to' poli
tical problems than men' and there-:
. forestewer axes to gif nd.'” x
xMiss .Phillips has no patience
with the .widespread discussion of
the economic |result of “woriton’s
taking men’s jobs.”, “The truth is,”
she says, “that ' men have 'taken
, ours. Tn the old days women made
the clothes and the candles for
lights, and originated the. process of
canning vegetables and fruits.
“Then came the machine age and
men began’to take up our jobs —
to make clothes, cook, build gas and
electric plants and erect canning
„ factories. In a comparatively short
time they took most of our job's and.
them complained when we went into
factories tb’itry to get them back.
“A woman has a right to earn her
living on the same terms as a . man.,
“When she loses her job xvhat hap
pens? She begins to make her own
dresses, hats, bread and canned goods
—all the things that she previously
bought in store—and that is no help
* to a country’s industries.”

.^capital; Following the example of
Great Britain and the United States
France is now building its own le
gation in the Capital City*
Lt was; a" wise choice when Ot
tawa was selected^ as a capital of the
new Dominion., It is on the boundary
line of Quebec and Ontario so that
it well represents. the .two great
races of the nation. It is naturally
one of the most beautiful capitals
in the world. '
The Parliament Buildings occupy
a superb , position. Both parties
have been in agreement in a plan
of beautification for the capital. This
is one question on which there have
been no political differences.
In recent years there have been
erected, a series oi fine public build
ings in Ottawa and, generally- speak
ing, they have been in good taste and
along a -well thought-out plan. Great
Britain,^ United States and now
France have legations in keeping
with the dignity of the ciy. As Can
ada grows in importance the time
may come when most of the great
nations will be represented in the
capital city. .

following are excellent recipes and
methods of making mosquito “dope”'
Tor protection from pests of the
forest:
' No. ^1 recipe—Oil of citronella, 3
ounces;,spirits of camphor, 1 ounce;
oil of tar, 1 ounce; oil of pennyroyal,
% ounce; and costor oil, 4\ to 6
ounces, depending on the sensitive
ness of the sHil.
No. 2 recipe—Oil of citronella, 2
ounces; castor Oil, 2 ounces; oil .of
pennyroyal, onefeighth ounce.
No.' S.Xecipe— Oil of tar, 2 ounces;
castdr. oil; 2 ounces; oil of penny
royal, one-eighth ounce. ""' . 4
No. 4 recipe—Gum camphor, 3
ounces; salol, 3 ounces; petrolatum,
4 ounces. The purpose of the castor
oil in mixturies. 1, 2 and 3 is to pre
vent injury to the skin by the es
sential ingredients.
Another, popular remedyof pre
vention is made by mixing together
1 ounce di) of citronella; 1 ounce
spirits of camphor, and ounce oil
of cedar?® Still another formula , is oil
of cassia, 1 ounce; camphorated oil,
2 ounces; vaseline, 3 ounces. Another
useful preparation is made as follows:
Melt together over a gent|le Are,
vaseline, 1 ounce; beeswax, 1 ounce
and medium 'hard paraffin, 1 ounce.
Cool until the mixture is just fluid,
then stjr in 1 gram, or one-quarter
teaspronful of. oil of cassia and, 2
grams or a half-teaspoonful of„oil of
citronella, . «
Among the remedit. ■ foj relieving

required that a tie be worn, that there

Not .can they be censured for the

have never thought of asserting their

heavy to withstand Winter’s frosts.
Men poke fun at women who for
some unknown reason affect fur

they are dpipg so, they ‘ themselves:
persist in many Cases wearing heavy
coats and other garments, which are
equally unnecessary and which must

of the lightly-clad girls on women Wbd

Even the animals sued tneir heavy

they have always done, so, still wear
coats and sometimes incur the wrath
of the women attached to them be
cause they have the temerity to re
