^J'EW YORK.—If there is a touch
of hysteria as we prepare to
prepare, it is more among the
basses than the sopranos. Counsels
of important
Women Leaders
Urge We Think
With Calmness
women have
been singu
larly calm
and r e -
strained. There is little shrill out
cry among them.
Currently, Mrs. Sadie Orr Dunbar,
president of the General Federation
of Women’s Clubs, and Miss Juliet
M. Bartlett, the latter taking of
fice as newly elected president of
the New York Women’s City club,
urge cajmness. Miss Bartlett says
we “should keep our feet on the
ground and our heads cool.”
Mrs. Dunbar, addressing the
federation convention at Mil
waukee, stresses the collective
need for thought, rather than
emotion. “Never in our national
history has there been a more
desperate need for clear under
standing,” she says. Mrs. Dun
bar’s job is “community organi
zation,” heading this effort for
the University' of Oregon med
ical school. It is understand
able that she should emphasize
reasoned techniques rather than
emotional excitements. “Com
munity organization” seems to
describe our present national
endeavor.
Elected to the presidency of the
federation in 1938, for a three-year
term, Mrs. Dunbar represents about
2,000,000 club women. She tells
them, “I want women to tune in
with modern life.” A widow and a
grandmother, of pioneer stock, she
has behind her a unique tradition
of “collective organization.” Her
grandfather was the first white man
to plant corn in Ganger, Mo., where
she was born in a log cabin. Her
family trekked on to Chanute, Kan.,
to Fresno, Calif., and thence to Ore
gon, where, after her graduation
from the State university she taught
school. She has served 24 years as
executive secretary of the Oregon
Tuberculosis association. She was
one of six children and is the mother
of a grown son and daughter.

Of Swift Work ties of swift
In Preparedness industrial and
military pre
paredness, this inquirer finds the an
swers reassuring, but complicated,
to be taken on faith, with political
factors still an unsolved X in the
equation. Both pertinent and en
couraging is a general agreement
by authorities that with all our
fumbling and faltering, the index of
productivity in a free state is higher
than in a slave state once it gets
going.
Secretary of the Treasury Mor-
genthau recently met with repre
sentatives of the machine tool indus
try in Washington to start team
work on tooling and standardization
for the mass production of planes.
Participating were Dr. George Jack-
son Mead, vice chairman of the Na
tional Advisory Committee on Aero
nautics. He accepts a newly creat
ed post, at $10,000 a year, the office
being established to facilitate deci
sion on types of planes, swift stand
ardization of parts and swift produc
tion.
On technical qualifications.
Dr. Mead shows a good report
card, as one of the leading air
plane designers of America. He
received the Sylvanus Reed
award, for 1939, for his technical
eontributions to the advance
ment of aviation, and his pro
fessional and business experi
ence has covered both the tech
nical and industrial field.
Mr. Mead attended the Massachu
setts Institute of Technology from
1911 to 1915. In 1917, he was in
charge of the power plants at the
laboratories of the United States air
station at Dayton, Ohio. He then
became a plane designer for the
Wright-Martin Aircraft corporation
and later chief engineer for the
Wright Aeronautical corporation. He
founded the Pratt & Whitney Co.,
and was chief engineer of the United
Aircraft corporation. He is 49 years
old, a native of Everett, Mass.
H OOFERS and spoofers fade, and
men who know something im
portant climb into the headlines.
It is Sir James Barrie’s play, over
again, where specialized knowledge
took over at a time of urgency. As
our metallurgical industry blue
prints a steel matrix of national de
fense, Walter S. Tower ^becomes
president of the America Iron and
Steel institute, which is the clearing
house for planned and integrated
effectiveness in the industry. Mr.
Tower is an expert on both econom
ics and geography.
And well he may need to be. for
A Bomber’s Eye View of the City of Paris
An airview of Paris, the capital of France, which was first thought to be the objective of the Nazi “Blitz-
kriegers,” who swept over the low countries and crossed the French border. When the Germans were within
€0 miles of the capital they changed their drive and headed for the channel ports but later German bombers
swooped down on Paris suburbs.
The British Lion Roars Its Defiance at Sea
The mighty guns of the British battleship, H. M. S. “Iron Duke,” roar out a message of defiance. The
shells may be seen in front of the smoke “mushrooms.” Consider the speed of the camera that caught these
shells in flight! Today Britain’s mighty ships are drawing a tight cordon around England to foil any attempt
at invasion by the sea.
Belgium’s Royal Family
British ‘Fuehrer’
With King Leopold having surrendered Belgium, and his parliament
repudiating the action, the status of Belgium’s royal family is uncertain.
Left to right, Princess Josephine Charlotte, Prince Albert of Liege, and
Crown Prince Baudoin, all Leopold’s children. Dowager Queen Elizabeth
(his mother), the king, and his brother. Prince Charles.
Pictured in character as the lead
er of England’s “Blackshirts” is Sir
Oswald Mosley, arrested by Scot
land Yard in a great roundup of
suspected enemy agents and “fifth
column” operatives.
Warming Up World’s First Plastic Airplane
Minister to Canada
Here is the world’s first complete plastic airplane, “baked” in an
oven just like a cake, being warmed up for its first trial flight. The
plane is built of spruce plies over wood, coated with phenolic resin plastic
liquid, then molded and baked. It is claimed such planes can be made
more quickly.

New Member of Press
Was Promptly Rung Off
He had just received an appoint
ment as junior reporter on the lo
cal paper and was full of his own
importance. His first engagement
was at a concert in connection
with a working men’s club, and,
disdaining to use the ticket which
had been sent to the office, he
approached the doorkeeper and ut
tered the one word which he knew
was the “Open Sesame” to any
where—“Press.”
“What’s that?” asked the door
keeper.
“Press,” repeated the youth.
“And what do you think you
are? A bloomin’ bell-push?” was
the disconcerting reply.
