CAREER CONFERENCE
ii I
Woman Attorney Opens
Career Conference
"There is a Place in Business for Every Girl," was the
keynote address of the second annual Career Conference spon-
sored by the Women's Council, February 17-19.
At a tea honoring the guest consultants of the conference
who were t coonduct tours and counsel girls in their various
vocational fields, Mrs. A. Axel-
rod, former Assistant Attorney
of the United States, gave a
stirring challenge to college
women to enter business.
She said that until recently "in
the eyes of the law man and wife
were one, and the man was that
one." After 75 years of struggle
women finally got the ballot, and
that was the beginning of their en-
trance into the business world. As
yet, Mrs. Axelrod stated, the sys-
tem in educating women does not
lead their girlhood thoughts toward
a career. It is the opportunity of
and the challenge to women who
have had business experience to ac-
quaint their daughters with possi-
bilities in business..
"Any mother can be a better mo-
ther, for having had a business car-
eer." In 1944, over 50% of the work-
ing women in America were married
and there has been "no disintegra-
tion of home as an institution due
to this," are Mrs. Axelrod's ans-
wers to the opinion that a working
wife undermines marriage.
The former US attorney stressed
the large field for girls with a liber-
al arts background in semi-pro
fieAlds and "emphasized that "the
prime prerequisite in any field is
the best education possible—even
better than a man's."
"A job is a way of life," she ad-
vised and urged the girls to inves-
tigate their interests and aptitudes
before attempting to choose a voca-
tion.
Mrs. Axelrod was introduced by
Pat Cunningham, chairman of the
Conference committee. Tea was
served following her address.

Pre-Med Society
Sees Movies; Plans
Banquet on Mar. 17
Highlight of the Pre-Med meet-
ing last week was a film on the use
of the Streptomycin drugs in treat-
ing tuberculosis. The movie, which
was in technicolor, lasted about thir-
ty minutes and presented a series
of case histories of all types of tu-
bercular patients. In many of the
cases all most miraculous results
were obtained by combining long
rest, surgery, and the careful use
of the Streptomycin drugs. /
At the business meeting, preced-
ing the film, the club voted to hold
its annual banquet and initiations
ceremonies at Cohen House. The
menu will feature a steak dinner,
and the affair will take place on the
evening of March 7. All Pre-Meds
desiring further information con-
cerning the banquet are requested to
contact Miss Marilyn Vreudge, the
club secretary.

'escended from a long line of distinguished
researchers, this studious scholar has burned too many
gallons of midnight oil to gloss over a subject lightly.
Especially such an important item as cigarette mildness.
He burrowed into the matter with his usual resolution
and concluded that a "quick puff" or a "fast sniff"
doesn't offer much evidence. Millions of smokers agree*
there's but one true test of cigarette mildness.
It's tjie sensible test...the 30-Day Camel Mildness
Te9t, which simply asks you to try Camels as your
steady smoke on a day-after-day, pack-after-pack basis.
No snap judgments! Once you've tried Camels for
30 days in your "T-Zone" (T for Throat. T for Taste),
you'll see why...
