McCORMICK MESSENGER, McCORMICK, S. THURSDAY, JULY 24, 1941 ifp* m WHO’S NEWS THIS WEEK By LEMUEL F. PARTON (Consolidated Features—WNU Service.) N EW YORK.—Dr. Minnie L. Maf- lett, who, as president of the National Federation of Business and Professional Women’s Clubs, is the 1 e a d e r of Assesses Women about 75,000 For Authority in career worn- Tomorrow’. Era “ m on equal pay for women doing men’s jobs, and she also assesses women with heavy responsibility for what lies ahead. “Women must take leadership in insisting on a new economic world order, ” says Dr. Maffett. That might seem like a lot of bother for the women, what with getting the children off to camp and this and that, but Dr. Maffett tells them sternly they must face it, “if we want women to have authority in the world of tomorrow.” Her ob servations were addressed to the biennial meeting of the above fed eration at Los Angeles. The silver-haired, bine-eyed, pink-cheeked Dr. Maffett, is, like many contenders for equal ity and authority for women, emphatically feminine. Pre meditated or not, it’s a good technique which the early-day suffragists knew and practiced diligently. She lives in Dallas, Texas, where she has long been a distinguished physician and surgeon, a member of the col lege of medicine of Baylor uni versity, on the staff of the three biggest hospitals in Dallas, and a director of the department of health education of Southern Methodist university. Descendant of a family which Went to Texas in 1834, Dr. Maffett took her academic and medical de grees at the University of Texas. She was elected president of the federation in 1939. She rallies wom en to intelligent social effort under the slogan “business women in a democracy.” She is a dynamo of energy, flying everywhere—she’s an avi ation fan—organising and agi tating for women and their work and their readiness for a new economic and cultural show down after the war. Women certainly do like to get things ship-shape. Perhaps they rate a trial workout, considering the general state of masculine un tidiness and confusion now pre vailing. D R. ARTHUR UPHAM POPE, art connoisseur and leading world authority on Iranian art, heads the “Committee for National _ morale” Out to Give War To Adolf Hitler'* 'Secret* Weapon which now, after months of research, makesknown it has discovered and identified Hit ler’s “secret” weapon. As Dr. Pope explains it, the device is the precise scientific mastery of impel ling scientific forces by which you can make men think and act as you want them to. One of the last books of the late Jacques Futrelle, who went down on the Titanic, was “The Thinking Ma chine.” It was about an old pro fessor who discovered what Dr. Pope’s committee thinks it has now learned. He finally dominated the world. The theme of the book was that any man who masters certain definite psychological formulas, and employs them diligently,- will own and operate mankind. • That is exactly what the Germans have been doing, according to the committee, just now issuing a 155- page brochure describing its re search and its findings. The committee, which began work last July, includes many of the lead ing social scientists and psycholo gists of the United States. It deliv ers not only a detailed description of the German psychological mass- pressure techniques, but it con cludes that we have abundant knowledge and skills with which to meet it. But it will be no hit-or-miss job of agitating. It will be a cam paign of psychological warfare as carefully contrived as an air battle. Mr. Pope, a native of Phoenix, R. I., was graduated from Brown university. He has long been a dis tinguished figure in the world of both art and philosophy—but always on John Ruskin’s terms: “Fine art is that in which the head, the heart and the hand go together.” We saw Dr. Pope occasionally when he was professor of philoso phy at the University of California, and again at the Foyot restaurant in Paris in 1923, fired up with Persian art and headed toward Teheran, to sink many years and much brilliant scholarship in that area. After a round-trip to about 3000 B. C., he landed in London in 1930 with the noblest exhibition of Persian art ever assembled. Last year, with his collection greatly augmented, he staged a memorable exhibition in New York, at the old Union League club. Navy Recruits Get Thorough Training America’s “first line of defense,” the navy, takes very seriously to the business of training its men.

It benefits the public by cribing exactly the products that are offered. It benefits employees, because the advertiser must be more fair and just than the employer who has no obligation to the public. These benefits of advertising are quite apart from the obvious benefits which advertising confers—the lower prices, the higher quality, the better service that go with advertised goods and firms.
