$4,000 WIVES EARN
\ OWN LIVING IN \. Y,

When Mrs. Carrie Chapman Gait
gave jolt to the public the other
day by stating that $4,000 women in
New York. were supporting their hus-
bands she did not speak rashly, but
was combining herself to figures culled
from the last census, ten years ago.
Now" says Mrs. Gait, "the times
nave been so, hard and conditions
nave changed so much that the num-
Der is probably doubled" which
would mean that $4,000 husbands are
AV1ng In tnnocuous desuetude while
the feminine half of the firm thrusts
her hatpins firmly through her head
gear, and starts down town to hustle
the living.
The number of women who are
nelp1ng to support their families by
working In way that does not reach
the public-doing fancy work on the
side or making articles for women's
exchanges-can never be known. In
city with a population of approx
mately five million, it is a .conserva-
tive estimate to say that several
hundred thousand women are par,
sharers in the money-making end Of
the household"
why do women do it," she was
asked.
i, 1t usually starts from necessity u
she replied. 1.-THE man gets out OF
work, can find no new job, rent day
and the grocer loom ominously. The
woman starts out to see what she
can DO, and is simply luckier. than
the man in finding employment.
L had a stenographer in my en-
ploy whom I had known before she
was married. Her husband was u
mighty educated man, a. teacher in a
boys school, but considerably older
than she. He was thrown out of a
position and it. seemed impossible for
MIN to get one again. Then he tried
doing anything he could get. He took
JOBS as night Waterman, and work Of
that kind, which 20 a man of his
equipment was a distinct come-down
and for which he was badly euuipped
physically. The little he made was
insufficient to keep his wife and fam
lily, so she took a couple Of boarders,
and they really kept the family for a
whole winter. Then the wife went
pack to her business, and as the man
was making so little, and some one
had to look. after the children. the
husband quit his job and stayed at
home to do so.'.'

UNCLE SAM MAY RUN
COOKING DEPARTMENT

The teaching of domestic science on
a broad scale may be undertaken bv
the federal government as the result
OF = representations that have been
made to. Congress by the National
Pure Food Association. This organf-
zatlon wishes the government to con-
duct Investigations Of the best meth
obs OF food preparations and dispense
Information and instruction upon the
subject as Is done on matters pertain
Ing to crop cultivation and stock rails
ing.
Miss Emma C. Sickles, secretary Of
the association, appeared before the
house committee on agriculture and
asked that an appropriation be made
to provide for such investigations and
the dissemination Of the information
obtained. The senate committee/al-
ready has voted unanimously for
such an appropriation.
MISS S1ckels pointed out that the
government is doing much for the
farmer through the department Of
agriculture, but practically nothing
Tor the farmers wives. The latter
need instruction in the selection and
preparation of foods quite as much as
their husbands do in the handling Of
soils and crops. The government has
done some work along this line, but
the association believes that a. syste-
matte educational plan should be
adopted, having the prime purpose of
1nstructing housewives in the eco
nom1cal utilization of foods. =
The congressman were urged par
t1cularly to give federal assistance. to
such agricultural colleges as main
tain departments of domestic science.
With such assistance, it is argued. it
would be possible to bring these de-
partments to the highest state OF ef-
hciency. The plan contemplates the
decentralization OF the work in these
schools through the department Of
agriculture, the bulletins issued to be
used as standard of instruction. +. !.
This campaign was launched ten
years ago when, Mrs. Charles w. Fair
banks, Mrs James M. Kyle and Miss
s1ckles presented the same arguments
to the senate committee. The matter
was allowed to drop, however. and
only recently the association has re-
sumed its endeavors to interest con-
