F.B.P.W.C.

On Mackinac Island, Mich., last week were 2,000 self-supporting women. Members of the National Federation of Business and Professional Women's Clubs, they discussed their problems between speeches and ballotings. Mrs. Ora H. Snyder, Chicago, head of a chain of candy stores, had opportunity to compare business methods with Miss Elsie Flake, "sandwich queen" of Winston-Salem, N. C. Miss Marion McClench, prime insurance saleswoman of Detroit, could talk shop with Miss Ella Schroeder, successful diamond merchant of Cincinnati. Tampa's Postmistress Elizabeth Rainard had a look at Miss Emma Coldiron of Walla Walla, Wash., operator of a de luxe bus line. Great was the applause when Mrs. Eva Hunt Dockery, of Boise, Idaho, definitely predicted that in ten years the organization would have "one woman Cabinet member ... 25 members of Congress . . . Governors of five states . . . five ordained ministers." Louis Edwin Van Norman, chief business specialist of the U. S. Department of Commerce, declared that sex appeal is no longer a business asset, counseled gravely that Prince Charmings met in the business world "may not be charming. . . may marry another woman . . . may die." Ladylike laughter greeted the report of the educational committee. Over $155,000 had been disbursed during the year. Beneficiaries were 1,000 children--999 girls, one boy.
