rines. Recently she returned from
a three weeks’ campaign tour
with some interest observations
about women’s part in this year’s
elections.
“For centuries,” she told me,
“women have been saying, “It’s
! a man’s world. Men make the
wars and frame the peace and we
have nothing to say about it,”.
But now we can no longer pass
the buck. ^
In the coming elections it is
estimated that women will cast
more than 60 per cent of the
vote, due to the absence of so
many men in service. That
means we will cast the decisive
vote and that for the first time
iin the history of the world,
women will have a chance to

i an interest in politic^. They 4hink,
when they have kept their hands
busy* they have done their part.
Knitting and rolling bandages are
necessary and important contri

are not enough. Women will have
to learn to keep the knitting go

too.”' '
Emily Douglas is the daughter
of sculptor Lorado Taft and a
graduate, of Chicago University.]

After a brief fling at a theatrical
career, she interested herself in
civic work' at home. Soon she met » -
and married young Paul Douglas
and thereafter their lives were
woven around the University of
Chicago, civic activities and in
ternational affairs.
When Douglas went! to war,
Mrs. Douglas moved into a little
two-room apartment with their
small daughter Jean and took a
job as secretary of the Interna
tional Relations council in Chi
cago. She resigned to run for
Congress.
