Mr- 'IB - at the lake? You'd better take it and smile, Mister, because things are looking bad for the Man of the House. Woman, using her wiles and wisdom, is getting a strangle hold on the nation's purse strings and edging her way into almost every field of activity once marked "For Men Only." The time may come when a struggling young business woman asks the man of her choice to love, honor and obey, to keep house and raise the children. All of a sudden after it's too late we're realizing that American women are in a fair way to dictate how tomorrow's social structure shall be formed. Today's women hold or expect to 70 per cent of the nation's With such a financial wealth. weapon In their power, it Is only fair to assume that politics and industry may soon be in their grasp. Figures Are Overwhelming. Eighty per cent of America's $104,500,000,000 outstanding life insurance has been assigned to women. Since the proud beauties average a six per cent longer life than mere man, they're in a fair way to collect most of it Moreover, women constitute 49 per cent of the 15,000,000 stockholders in American corporations. They hold titles to 40 per cent of our homes and control 85 per cent of the national buying power. Once they gain a foothold in the business world, determined women usually succeed. The following list of salaries paid women executives two years ago is far above average, but it will make many a male wage earner jealous: Sarah M. Sheridan, vice president, the Detroit Edison company, $27,762; Edna Newton, editor, the Conde Nast Publishing company, $28,865; Helen Neuschaefer, secretary, A. Sartorius & Co., $30,000; Sophia R. Louttit, Providence, R. I., laundry company head, $36,000; Blanche Green, president, Spencer Corset company, $57,629, and Valeria Bonham, president, Valeria , Homes, Inc., $40,000. Most women workers aren't executives, but their aptitude for traditional men's jobs is amazing. A Cadiz, Ohio, woman spent 23 years in a coal mine, and a Minnesota woman works beside her husband as a "lumber Jill" in the North woods. Perhaps the most outstanding woman today is Mme.

In New York a prominent judge explains that when women are help ing decide court cases, the at tor neys for both sides need to sharpen their wits, since ladies of the jury will not bow to emotionalism like men. Surprising, isn't it? Man Offers Rebuttal. At this point, since Mr. Husband probably feels pretty downhearted, it's pleasing to run into a friend like Sinclair Lewis, the novelist, who says women are not ready to rule America. "Women have been too prone to interfere with things," he says, "They have consistently rushed into all sorts of reform movements and made everyone very uncomforta ble. Prohibition was a neat little job put over by the ladies. Look what it cost the country and the havoc it created before the law was annulled. We're still suffering from the effects of it" Although Mr. Lewis will not find total agreement on his prohibition considered the real argument most men will concur boss of the Chinese "repubthat women are upsetting the social lic."

Several Colleges Join War to Check Syphilis at Stimulated by the national campaign to control venereal disease, a few colleges and universities are making syphilis tests a part of the routine examinations required of incoming students. Judging from a survey made by the Chicago Tribune, serological diagnosis for syphilis is not a common regulation among student health services, however. Instruction on the sexual and social hazards of the disease is far more common. Many universities, in fact, require their freshman men and women to take courses in health son.
