Jitterbugs and Champions, Too iOVOCATFS WOMEN WORKING Whether a married woman should 4ld a job is one of those questions ihat stirs heated debate, but finds no final answer. Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt gave her answer last veek. She believes married Women should work if they so desire. Thj answer came in a letter written to Miss Florence Birmingham, slender, fomber dressed president of the Massachusetts Women's Political Ctab, sponsor of legislation aimed to iwp married women out of Massa chusetts public posts. Mrs. Roosevelt's letter in part, "''Do you want us to become a fascist nation, which tells one when to work and how? As soon as you discrim inate against one group that dis crimination very often cannot be ontrolled and spreads to others."

"Diet," that word synonymous today with a lean bill of fare, originally had a diametrically opposite meaning, according to the new American English dictionary being prepared at the Univeristy of Chicago. It's a relatively rare ex ample, 'tis said, of reversal of mean ing. -. Tracing the word's deviations since its old English origin, the dictionary compilers found that during Ameri can colonial days "diet" had come to mean "to board." Franklin wnote in his "Autogivmhv"' (177H; "I returned to Bradford's, who gave me a little job to do for the present, and there I lodged and dieted." In isr(5, "diet list" meant "a list availablt. or desirable foods7' Rut ioday, say the dictionary editors, the definition would subsftiljite "nect'S- lome tear gas lust to hp wtint. if , asn-v" fm- ",l,.u:,nl.l,i aoes.
