YOUNG WOMEN OF TO-DAY MEDICAL SPECIALIST'S CRITICISM BAD FOUNDATION FOR FUTURE GENERATION (Per United Press Association) AUCKLAND, Dec. 7. Comment on the rapid pace at which young women live to-day and the probable effect of this on the future generation was made by Dr Lorna Hodgkinson, of Sydney, who specialised at Harvard on the psychology of abnormal children. Dr Hodgkinson is a passenger by the Aorangi to Vancouver. " It is not unusual for young women to stay up till 3 o'clock in the morning day after day, attendinf cocktail parties and other kinds of parties, and many have to be at work early in the morning," she said. "Many don't get proper food and certainly suffer from a lack of sleep. This is laying a bad foundation for the children of the coming generation. Nerve-wracked, hysterical, neurotic girls cannot make the best mothers. Half of the girls to-day are starving themselves in order to look slim. Many mothers encourage their daughters to belong to what they consider the smart set."
