Capital No Place For Hubby Hunters
Washington may be the glamor capital but a man shortage makes it the worst matrimonial market. Ray H. Everett, Social Hygiene Society executive secretary, says four eligible women for every eligible man here. He advises government girls to seek marriage prospects in industrial centers and emphasizes grooming, varied interests, and activities to meet men. He cites Everett formerly a sociology professor at George Washington University and a 23 year marriage. A joke about a sleeping pill and a note on Liberty Ships with Texas names closes.
