Women Have Business Heads
Who says a woman doesn't have a business head on her shoulders?
A recent publication shows that 52 per cent of the stockholders in 1,000 major corporations are women and that the majority of privately-held wealth in this country is in women's names.
A Wall Street broker says women make good investors once they overcome being timid about going into board rooms.
"Women have a lot of imagination and a lot of get-up-and-go when they get interested in the street," the Wall Street broker said.
John Ise, professor of economics,
claims the best students he has in
his economics classes are women. Out
of the class, he asks, "What is a
woman held, top, cook, he said."
The reason for this, Dr. Ise says, is because women are more practical, and they are unhampered by the false economic ideas that many men have.
Although many cracks are made about women balancing the budget, and keeping the checking book straight, most men are only too glad to turn the job back to the "little women" once they try the task.

Nature Backfires on Lemmings
Nature has backfired on two lemmings at the Museum of Natural History.
The Arctic animals ordinarily turn white in the fall and brown in the spring, but out of their native habitat, these two remained brown all winter and are now turning white.
The white pelage is nature's way of protecting the lemmings in the snow-laden burrows and runways of the Arctic tundra. In the spring, these wings reconvert to a varticolored coat of silver gray, brown and black.
University zoologists know of no precedent for the phenomenon. They believe it may be caused by the change in climate, light, food, or temperature and will run tests to determine the cause.
The KU lemmings were captured
The lemmings belong to the rodent family and when full-grown weigh about a quarter of a pound. At KU they are being used in the preparation of a manual on Arctic animals.
