WOMEN BLAMED FOR HIGH
COST OF LIVING.

Prof. Simon y. Patten, who carries
initials enough after his name 10 lend
it weight, professor of political econ
omy in the University of Pennsylvania,
has found still another reason for the
steadily mounting cost of living. Prof.
Pattyn, without blinking, without the
slightest apparent hesitation, puts the
blame on women. He says that there
has not only been no moral instruction
emphasizing the need OF frugality and
saving a duty which properly deyolves
upon women-but that the new status
of woman has brought about a new
standard of living He says:
Forty years ago q man could live
comfortably on $1,000 a year. Under
the magic OF the wife's hand this
81 600 became $500 or $4,000. The
wife created more value by industry
in the home than her husband did out
Of it.. In her hands. cloth became
clothes. flour bread. and fresh fruits
the winter preserves. Now all things
are done outside the home and must
be purchased with the $1,000 income.
In brief, his charge is that the wife,
instead Of being a breadwinner and a
saver, has become a dead weight and a
spender. He is convinced that, if
women ceased to neglect the essential
conditions of home life. less would be
heard about inability to- make the
family purse meet the family expendi-
ture. We can indOrse Prof. Patten's
nerve without indorsing his theories
any farther than to give them show
along with the hundred and one other
views which have been advanced on the
same subject.
