HOUSEWIFE IS BLAMED
. FOR HIGH COST OF LIVING
Bad Scales Also Increase Ex-
pense, Mrs. Julian Heath
Declares.

Means by which the cost of living car
be reduced were explained to members OF
the Housekeepers Alliance yesterday aft
ernoon by Mrs. Julian Heath, president
of the National Housewives League,
and Herbert A. Smith, president of the
civil service council, at meeting held in
the rooms Of the Chamber of Commerce.
Mrs. Heath declared that American
housewives and false scales were largely
responsible for the present high cost of
living.
in all Of the Investigations that haye
been carried on to determine the high
cost OF living. not once has the house
wife been considered, and yet 1T is the
woman who makes the money meet the
need of the family.
Spending the Income.
..Three-quarters of the income of the
middle class, and nine-tenths of the in
come of the lower class is spent by the
women, and yet there has been no effort
to make them efficient in the handling of
money or the purchase of supplies. When
a marriage is contemplated the question
is always asked, Can the man support
her. but Kever Can the woman spend
properly what the man produces? House
keeping is profession and must De OF
ganiZed."
Three-fourths of all the scales used in
the country give false weight. said Mrs
Heath. The money saved the genera
public by the universal use OF correct
scales and measures. she said, would re-
suit each year to an amount sufhcient
to run the United States government
She complimented the Washington
stores and markets and those of Balti-
more, where. she asserted correct scales
Work of Individual.
Mrs. Heath spoke of the inability OF
the individual to bring about reforms
which will lessen the cost of living.
1.-The individual said Mrs. Heath, 'can
do little his protests amount to nothing.
but if the women will educate them
selves to cooperative buying and will
stand together and refuse to buy impure
food the dealer will be unable to dispose
of his poor stock and will be forced to
carry only the best" The same, she said,
applied to prices Women must know
the value Of things and then act to-
gether.
Mr. Smith spoke of the necessity on
the part of the consumer TO combine in
self-defense to meet the exigencies which
have arisen by the organization of cap
ital The consumer muse organize the
same way the laborer has, he said.
ITO get plan of cooperation We must
have education in thrift. which Is neces-
sary TO meet the economic revolution,
said Mr.. Smith. Americans are not
thrifty. They do not save. but when in
need they make an effort to earn more
money. Although the savings account ir
the United States Is greater in amount
than in any other country fourteen out
of thirty-two countries are ahead of il
in number of savings depositors. Lux
uries and pleasures are the cause Of
high living and the way to meet this i:
to form cooperative stores, where thu
profits are returned to the buyers
