WIFE ANDMOTHER WANTS
MORE THAN HER BOARD
Muffitudes of Married Women Are Asking Eager.
Ey What Can They Do to Earna Little Money
While They Watch the Pot Boil.

family. II is a cruel thing TO have a
little child that needs some surgical
operation TO correct some physical de-
feet, and not to have the money to
have it done, or to have a talented boy
or girl to whom you cannot give the
advantages that would enable them TO
take the place they are entitled to In
life. So II is no wonder that multitudes
OF married women are asking eagerly
what can they do TO earn little money
in the hour or two that they have at
their disposal while they watch the pot
boil or the baby is asleep.
An Ease of Mind.
OF course they should have this time
to rest and play in. but as the poor know
only too well, the ease of mind that
little money gives is more refreshment
than the relaxation OF the body ever Is.
In a way this problem OF making pin
money is solved for the country women
by her chickens, and eggs, and butter.
and bees. In the South a most success
full effort along this line has been made
by organizing the girls and women into
what are called tomato clubs" In these
the women are encouraged to grow fine
tomatoes, then demonstrator. employed
by the State, comes along with a scien-
tine canning OuIIlt ana SHOWS Inen now
10 put up the tomatoes, and these are
marketed under the name Of the various
clubs
Doubtless the tomato clubs will soon
also be preserving clubs. and the hereto
fore moneyless country girls will be rails
ing and putting up all sorts OF small
fruits, ard putting money In the bank.
But what shall the city woman do who
also needs TO make money, and has moth
ing but q tiny fiat to work in? Is there
anything she can do at home to make
money? Is il feasible TO teach her what
are called the cottage industries in
Europe? Could she be taught fine en-
brOidery. o. lace making, or some other
art that she could ply in the few minutes
she could snatch between her domestic
Ia bors?
Whether We like IL or not. the time
has come when We must face the truth
that the average man, working alone.
cannot support family in comfort. If
they are TO have anything above the
hare necessities. the wife must help bring
in money as well as do the housework.
How can she DO this? How can the
married woman make any money at
hCme? The Washington Herald would be
glad TO have its readers answer this ques-
ton and throw any light on the subject
that their experience gives them.

In Place of Scales.

AS many families have no scales for
weighing. this Is a table Of measures
which can be used instead. Weighing
is always best. but not always con-
yenielt. The cup used is the ordinary
coffee or kitchen cup. holding half q
pint. A set of tin measures, from a
gill TO a quart. is very useful in all
cooking operations. One quart OF sIfted
-four is one pound; one pint Of granu-
lated sugar is one pound; two cups Of
butter packed are one pound; FIVE cups
fuls of sifted -four are one pound: a
wineglassful is half a gill; eight even
tabIespoonfuls are a gill: four even salt
spoonfuls make q teaspoonful; 4 salt
spoonful is a good measure of salt for
all custards, puddinEs, blanc manges. &c.

Change Curb In Street.
Because Of lack of authority, the Com
missioners yesterday decided that they
would be unable to accept the offer Of the
Capital Traction Company 10 purchase
the necessary ground on the north side
OF L street northwest. between Florida
avenue and Eighteenth street. and dedi-
cate II to the District for the purpose of
widening the highway at this point, and
Of thus permitting change in the curve
OF the car tracks. The offer was made
provided the District bear the expense OF
moving the curb fifteen feet north and
making the necessary changes IN the
surface Of U street.
The Commissioners state in reply to the
offer that the shifting of the curb and
the car tracks would undoubtedly be Of
material benefit to the railway company
and to the general public because OF the
improvement. in traffic conditions at the
intersection. but explain that they are
without authority to use funds to shift
the curb except under special authoriza-
tion from Congress. The Commissioners
state that they will permit the change
in question, however, IL the railway COM
pany will bear the entire cost of the
work.
