Women Can Be Brave As Men and Offen Are, Psychiafrist Says Pull Their Own Weight In Boat When Crisis Comes, He Finds By LUCRECE HUDGINS, Associated Press Writer. If & woman is afraid of a mouse why isn't she afraid of air raids? The answer to that poser, accord- ing to psychologists, is that 8 woman isn't afraid of & mouse in the first lace. = When a lady jumps on & chair and screams at the sight of a mouse she instinctively is taking the only constructive course of action open to her. Her scream scares the mouse more than the mouse scares her. ‘When & man sees the sime mouse he is too dignified to climb on a chair and shriek. He hasn't a gun handy and the only available vase is a family heirloom. Consequently, while he appears to be courageously nonchalant, he actually is paralyzed with indecision. Wemen Can Pnll Own Weight. “Our whole civilization has been built on the thesis that men are the stronger sex,” says Dr. Winfred Overholser, famous psychiatrist and superintendent of St. Elizabeth's Hospital. “But, I think events in this war prove beyond question that the courage of women is equal to that of men. “Custom has conditioned women to a feeling of inferiority. Now women, perhaps to their own sur- prise, are proving that they can | pull their own weight in the boat.” According to the psychiatrist, there is no physiological reason why women should be less brave than men. Perhaps they become | Men sometimes scoff at the pa- triotism of women, saying that it is er, Dr. Overholser ureu that it often takes less courage to die than it does to send the man you love away to die. While some men will admit that women are their equal in physical bravery, they insist that abstract would die tor 8 principle?” To this Dr. Oberholser replies, “How many men would die for a principle? .“The average person doesn't see this war as a conflict between " | democracy and autocracy. What he sees is a threat to his home, his livelihood, his personal peace. These are very different things from a principle and women are as apt to fight for them as are men.” Escaped German ‘Thumbs’ Ride In Wrong Car BY the Associated Press.

He is Walter Manhardt, 24, who got away from the Bowmanville in- ternment camp last Tuesday, wear- ing a blue civilian overcoat over his | soiled Naxi uniform. He got across the border into the | United States while 8 manhunt was on for him and reached Ogdensburg, frightened quickly but that may be | \y because women are more intuitive and so realize danger more readily. Brave Can Be Afraid. But to act courageously in the face of a known danger requires more pluck than to act with bravado when scornful of danger. “When an individual shows courage or cowardice it is not be- cause of being a male or female, but because of being a particular human being,” says Dr. Oberholser. “A very bold man who has fought in three wars and rolled over Niagara Falls in a barrel and been blown out of circus cannons as a Organ musicale, Wi Chapel, Church of Jesus Christ of the Latter Day Saints, Sixteenth street and Columbia road N.W., 8 o'clock tonight.
