We give thanks to American. industry, for showering our neighbors with _ dividends, and to Vermont and Maine for their support of Mr. Landon. We are duly grateful for good business along Main Street, ‘increased ; advertising in The Post, yesterday's holiday, and Dallas Borough High, School installing a telephone. € Shik = Our voices are raised in praise of the WPA for building a sidewalk along Main Street, Mayor Loveland for inviting local officers to a police school, and Mary Pickford, for finally marrying Buddy Rogers. We are thankful, this week, for the sad beauty of Autumn’s last days and for the bottle of cough medicine which we keep on our desk. For all these things we are thankful. : ROOSEVELT WINS HIS ENEMIES : The people of the United States seem to have accomplished more for Franklin In. Roosevelt than he could himself. Since November 3 a great many of his former enemies have come to agree with him. Probably the greatest about face in the history of journalism and pol- “ities is credited to that major prophet and Lord of San Simeon, William Randolph Hearst. He and his minions have just re-discovered their great love for the President, who, it seems, isn’t a Communist after all. : Another sensational about-face has been executed neatly by the Na- tional Association of Manufacturers, which supplied this newspaper with anti- Roosevelt propaganda all through the campaign. The N. A. M. celebrated its change of heart this week at a series of dinners held in Washington and ten other large cities. “It is-the desire of the manufacturers” their spokesman said “to co-operate wholeheartedly with the government for the benefit of the country as a whole.” y Even though these changes of heart indicate a decided change of policy on the part of groups which were opposed violently to Roosevelt during the - campaign let us hope that their change is sincere, and that they are actually “united in aiming toward one goal—Prosperity. AN EDITORIAL ABOUT AN UNPLEASANT SUBJECT Newspapers frequently call in ringing tones for a new frankness in deal- ing with so-called social disease—and then promptly violate their own demands by mumbling in the vaguest sort of way about the problem, going so far some times as to avoid even a mention of the dread words “syphilis” and “gonorrhea”. This unusual modesty on the part of editorial writers is charming but it is scarcely helping the forces of public health in reducing what is, thanks to the ignorance in which most of the public has been kept, gradually becoming our most serious plague. Now it’s no more pleasant for us to write about it than for you to read it, but something has to be done to make everyone conscious of the appalling number of deaths each year from gonorrhea and syphilis. It has been estimated that one out of every seven persons, or at least 15 per cent of the nation’s population, carries the germs of one or the other, or both, of these dread plagues. : The American Social Hygiene Association reports that men, women and children equivalent to the entire population of Kansas, Maryland, Nebraska, Utah, Vermont, Washington, Wyoming and the District of Columbia suffer to- day from venereal diseases. Together, more cases of ‘syphilis and gonorrhea are reported to the gov- ernment than of any other disease (with the possible exception of influenza), and reporting of these diseases is notoriously incomplete. Syphilis alone, according to Federal authorities, kills more people annually than all other infectious diseases combined, except only tuberculosis. There is one great cause for this hidden tragedy—ignorance—the false modesty which permits a people to find moral satisfaction in keeping silent while Death marches grimly on about them. Publicity taught people how to safeguard themselves against small pox, | stopping the advance of so-called “social diseases”. {ing success on an island where more We are thankful, now in Thanksgiving ‘Week, that we do not live in RIVES MATTEWS The first time I ever heard the name, Loire Brophy, it was from the lips of Edgar Kobak, then a vice-president of the National Broadcasting Company, and president of the Advertising Club of New York. ‘Jobs are still pretty hard to find,” he said. “But if there are any to be had, Loire Brophy will know about them.” Two days later I found out how right Mr. Kobak was. Mrs. Brophy found me a job. To me this was a major miracle. I imagine there are thousands like me who rank her as a wonder-worker well above Dr. Locke, the Canadian foot- manipulator, if only because Mrs. Brophy saves her clients so much shoe leather, and so much of the agony of sitting on hard benches in cheerless waiting rooms. Just as Florence Nightingale eased the sufferings and fevers of soldiers in the Crimea, so Loire Brophy in her quiet and very assured way eases the pains, or binds the wounds, of those who suffer from that modern crime which an enlightened society is coming to consider unemployment. ] There is no need, however, to get maudlin about Mrs. Brophy. She has been in the business of getting jobs for people for more than fifteen years. Thousands of people owe their first jobs to her, and hundreds must admit she has helped them to higher rungs on the ladders of their ambitions. It is easy to get dewy-eyed about Mrs. Brophy’s work, but there’s no need to. Mrs. Brophy hasn’t been in business for nothing. Her rewards have in- cluded not only that priceless coin of the realm where gratitude makes hu- man endeavor for once seem to take on the timeless stature of stars, but also her rewards have very definitely included the good hard cash allowed her by law as an‘employment agent. As a job finder, she is ‘an outstand- jobs abound to the square foot than any other place in the world. Which means, of course, that Mrs. Brophy is tops as a job finder. : Thus, when she writes a book on job-hunting, job-getting, job-keeping; and progression to better jobs, what Mrs. Brophy has to say is'spoken with authority. «For women; especially, her book, “If Women Must Work,”” recent- ly published by D.:Appleton-Century, will prove. instructive and entertaining. Men, too, will find at least two chap- ters, one devoted to how to job hunt by mail, and one on how to interview a prospective employer, well worth the price of admission. ; In spite of the fact that I don’t want to be set down as a hand-biting canine, since | hope that Mrs. Brophy may again feel moved to exercise her re- markable talents on my behalf, I feel inclined, as a mere male, to quibble at some of her dialectics when waves the wild red petticoat of femin- sm. “My feeling is that women should not try to get jobs that obviously be- long to men,” she states with all the assurance of gloved Toledo, “But if a chart were drawn of women’s pobs as they originally existed, we would find that two-thirds of the work of the world was theirs and that men have persistently taken that work away from them.” That statement, I think, ought to keep many a winter fireside conversa- tion as warm as the coals of well seasoned applewood. The next time you go out, try it on your friends. If it fails to loosen the tongues of local Coolidges, then try this one: “When it is recommended woman return to her kitchen fire, she is auto- matically made a world traveller, since a great part of the cooking of the world goes on from Norway, where they pickle fish, to the South Seas, where then can pineapple. = The kit- chen fire has taken to hotfooting it abroad, and woman can do nothing but hotfoot it, too, if she is to keep in control of the thing. Hence, she tries for jobs where the advertising of foods is done; she wants to work in canning factories, not only as a laborer, but as an executive; she wants to manage tearooms and hotels and restaurants. She tries to get into the promotion of all matters having to do with foods. She likes to work as market commissioner of her native town or district. She likes to handle, in fact, all the modern methods of dealing with food, her most ancient of trades and professions. This is not a ‘man’s job.” Maybe I'm wrong, but it seems to me our meat-eating ancestors who lived in caves had to depend on their hunters for three square meals a aay It was later, much later, in the ume of the luxuring loving Greeks, that men {turn of mind. If, by chance, you want first used the word, huntress, and she was merely a myth, Diana (no lisp intended).
