WOMAN OF THE WEEK: To
I Fay Bainter, long time star of stage
and screen, represents the motherly
type of woman. Today she is play

purpose of the project is to locate
one house in each block where some
“mother” is always at home to care
for the block children in case of an
emergency.

first group of 30 girls now being
trained at Philadelphia has com
pleted the course which will qualify
them as leaders, or “wing scouts,”
additional “troops” will be formed
throughout the country. The pro
gram is open to senior Girl Scouts

MISS SIMON LEGREE: Charles
C. Stech, who has just completed a
survey of standards of work demand

discovered that women are rated
slightly higher by the men than by
the women for whom they work;
that men would rather have a wom
an look nice and be efficient than
just be efficient; that women de
mand less intelligence than men do.
