Change in Women’s Inter
ests Are Discussed by
Alice Hughes.
Beauty, social ease and style have
superseded children, church and
kitchen In the Interests of women,
Miss Alice Hughes, columnist of the
New York American^ said today In an
address prepared for delivery before
the fifteenth annual convention of
the American Society of Newspaper
Editors.
Miss Hughes shared the discussion
of "Glamour Treatment” with Walter
M Harrison of the Oklahoma City
Oklahoman and Times.
“Just as men seek adventure, so
women covet glamour,” she said. “It is
not merely a synonym for romance.
It Is romance with a big dose of wish
fulfillment. So much that is miracu
lous in the world has come to pass
that women no longer recognize the
limitations of the spirit of the flesh.”
Tells of Survey.
Miss Hughes first told of a survey
among college girls showing they be
lieve women's pages in newspapers
lack appeal to human emotions. She
quoted Anna Steese Richardson as
aaying three years ago that the three
things which most interest women are
bridge, knitting and radio. "In 1937,
Mrs. Richardson says it is. first, re
juvenation of face and body; second,
pleasure and sports; third, bridge;
fourth, culture and civic affairs."
The editors convened at 2 p.m. In
the auditorium of the National Press
Club. After a greeting from President
Richard O. Gridley of the club, they
heard their own president. Editor
Marvin H. Creager of the Milwaukee
Journal, deliver his annual address.
Creager told his colleagues that
“standardization is inimical to the very
life of the press. It nevertheless has
its nose under our tentflaps. Standard
ized features have tended to make
newspaper offices into assembly plants
rather than real producers. But the
nose is getting longer.
Talk by Creager.
“There now comes a demand that
editorial workers shall conform to cer
tain tests imposed by a membership in
a national organization and that none
be employed or remain employed ex
cept members of that organization.
Happily, this demand is being gen
erally withstood. In so far as these
demands relate to better pay and work
ing conditions, there can be no quar
rel with them." Newspapers, he said,
should pay liberally for the best brain,
energy and ability, "and they have not
all done so.”
The editors tonight will hold their
annual off-the-record interview with
President Roosevelt at the White
House. The time is 8:30 o'clock.
As another feature of today's pro
gram, Lawrence W. Murphy, president
of the American Association of Schools
and Departments of Journalism, traced
the spread of journalism instruction
since schools were established less than
30 years ago.
Notes Schools Progress.
“The best schools.” said his prepared
address, ‘ which have never given a
degree to a man on the basis of less
than four full years of university study,
have made progress which deserves a
full measure of encouragement from
leaders in the profession.”
Murphy is director of the College of
Journalism at the University of Illi
nois.
The society will continue in con
vention through Saturday afternoon,
with a host of outstanding journalists
and leaders in business and Govern
ment on the program.
The final speaker this afternoon was
to be Vernon Nash on “The Walter
Williams Memorial Journalism Foun
dation.”
Tomorrow's speakers will include H.
L. Mencken, Edson K. Bixby of the
Springfield (Mo.) News-Leader, Chair
man Marriner S. Eccles of the Federal
Reserve Board, Managing Editor John
Martin of Time Magazine and Dr.
George Gallup, director of the Ameri
can Institute of Public Opinion.

Insisted, refused to support the recent
“insurgent” seamen's strike.
The strikers belong to the ‘‘rank
and file” group of seamen who went
on strike several months ago in defi
ance of officers of the International
Seamen's Union. John D. Moore,
chief examiner for the Regional Labor
Relations Board, tried until 2:30 am.
to iron out union difficulties.
Spread Forecast.
Henry McDavid, a delegate of the
Marine Firemen, Oilers and Water
tenders’ Union, said the strike would
spread to all subsidiary lines of the
I. M. M., with sympathy strikes at
Baltimore, the Panama Canal Zone
and San Pedro, Calif.
He said he received a radio message
from union members aboard the Penn
sylvania, sister ship of the California,
today, which said:
"Stand by for action.”
McDavid said the strike is ex
pected to start when the Pennsylvania
reached Panama Saturday.
The union delegate also expressed
confidence that members of the crew
of the Manhattan, due from Europe
tonight or tomorrow, also would strike
in sympathy with ulnon men on the
President Roosevelt.

BRENTANO’S “scoops” the Art World!
Entire Stock of Famous 1
New York Art Gallery
Unprecedented is the only word
for this sale of signed, original etchings by foreign and American masters—start
ing this morning, at a fraction of former prices! If you’ve ever longed to possess
truly beautiful etchings, this is your opportunity!
BRENTANO'S have purchased the entire
etching stock of a large New York gallery
—a sale event in fln£ etchings which has
probably never been surpassed either in quantity
or variety—or in the values presented. It took
years to assemble these prints from all parts of
the world. Here are dry-points, aquatints, mez
zotints, copper plate engravings from the hands
of some of the most noted modern etchers of
America and Europe. The subjects represented
cover every conceivable range of interest—por
traits of famous people, landscapes, architectural
subjects, animals (dogs, cats, horses and pets of
all kinds), sports from golf to prize fighting, ships
and seascapes, still life and the human form.
This is your opportunity to decorate your home
with outstanding examples of the etcher’s art, or
to start an art collection of permanent value, at
prices which are ordinarily asked for so-called
“reproductions.” It is also a splendid opportunity
to purchase charming gifts to give your friends
now or on some future occasion. Come in and see
them. Every one of these prints is an original
etching, each is part of a limited edition printed
from original plates, and each is signed by the
artist.
There is no room in this announcement to give
you even a small part of the list of the etchings.
The prices marked represent reductions of 25%
to 75% from actual published prices.
Framing
We have special facilities for framing and a wide
selection of woods and colors to accord with these
etchings and any scheme of interior decorations
you may have in mind. Prices for plain frames:

your selection.
If you wish etchings sent to you on ap

be left somewhat to Brentano's, your satis
faction is guaranteed: and if any of the etch
ings sent you do not meet with your approval
yau may return them for full refund, pro
vided they are received by us in good condi
tion within 10 days.
