STOLEN AUTO GOES
DEAD, THIEF ASKS

New York, Jan ia young man
named Arthur jerks noticed a big
mauve touring car doing in the sun
before George Haagenson's Brooklyn
home Being young man of vague
principles, jerks. cranked up the ma
chine and drove himself merrily away
in it. ~
Before ne had gone two miles the
car gave vent to a spasm of coughing,
blew its nose with great violence, and
came to a dead stop. jerks dived into
the machinery. After doing something
to every cam and bolt he was surprised
t. note that the machine was still life
less. He sought telephone and rung
up Haagenson
I'm the man who stole your automo-
bile" he announced with homogeneous
honesty she's gone dead on me. If
there are any secrets about her habits

me know what they are, so that can

Hold the wire just minute" said
Haagenson. He had the telephone
girl get the number from which the
gasoline brigand was calling and put
the cops on his trail.
He then, refused to tell what was
wrong with the machine. This caused
jerks to tackle the machine again ont
Of pure malice. The police found him
still tinkering with the engine and
talking earnestly to himself in short
heavyset words. He kicked viciously

HOW MUCH DO YOU PAY YOUR WIFE?

In the February Womans Home
Companion apears a most interesting
discussion of women in business. The
following extract from the discussion
shows how business women are paid
definitely for their work and how most
housewives receive no definite compen-
sation for their labors at home:
Economic independence should be
as possible for women at home as for
women in business. There is some
talk about the parasitic woman-the
woman who accepts her living with
many luxuries thrown in, and gives
nothing in return. Perhaps she exists,
but not, we believe, in great or alarm
ing numbers. The fact is that most
women work, either at home or out
side. One of the great differences in
the kind of work women do is the kind
of pay they get Wage-earning women
get actual money to put in their peck
cts, and there is an intoxication about
the possession of your own funds that
is not quite like anything else. AS one
business woman expressed it: You
can buy fine clothing and go hungry, or
buy delicate food and go naked, or
give your money away and go both
hungry and naked if you like. You are
in your small way god I don't know
that there is nothing better than earn

emphasizing thefthought that the AS

the problem, should be placed in sucn

ing your own living; what | do know
is that pay day is a good day, even if
it's all owing.
The average woman who works at
home is still in the stage of exchange
and barter with no medium of ex-
change to measure values with. There
are some parts of the country where
you may pay in kind; where you may
offer to the peddler who comes to your
door eggs in exchange for calico The
trouble with the home worker is that
no matter how many eggs she offers
she gets the same amount of calico.
She may work hard and long and
wisely, she has her living for her work
She may work slackly and briefly and
foolishly, she still has her living for
her work The kind of living she gets
depends upon the skill and the zeal and
the extent of her husbands work, not
hers. Usually she gets something else
along with the living that pays-some-
times she doesn't. Be that as it NAV,
a certain share in the independent
spending of actual money enjoyed by
her husband will make a woman s
work, however hard, seem less futile,
rore worth while; will give her feel
g IF self-respect and dignity that 2

AMERICANS TO STUDY IN MUNICH SCHOOLS

ties are particularly anxious to well
come a party of representative teachers
from the United States. The official
nature of the invitation from the May
or and council of the city gives it
added attractiyeness.
Some of the courses in which the
visiting teachers will be permitted to
take part are: Art-forging, gold
smithing, copperwork, bookbinding,
printing, TYPOGRAPHY, glasspainting
decorating, cabinetmaking, and fine
mechanics, The official notice also
informs US that the Americans will be
allowed to keep what they make if
they pay for the materials
The notices state that the usual
German school fees, amounting in this
case to 50 a month, will be charged.
The chief expense will be for trans,
portation, board and lodging being
comparatively cheap. Bureau officials
believe that some communities where
industrial training is in an expert
mental stage would be justified in Civ
ing teachers leave of absence and
paying their expenses for this trip.
The Bureau Of Education announces
that it will answer inquiries from
teachers who may be interested in
the plan.
