She explained that much.of the labor
in the home had been liEhtened by the
rapid removal OF work from the home
to the factory and other institutions
and pointed out that moro labor was
being released from home duties by the
introduction of various mechanical APP
planes for performing work at home.
She said that an even more important
fact in releasing feminine energy had
been the decrease In the death and
birth rate. Another cause OF the re-
lease of a considerable amount of fem
mime energy. she added, had been the
tendency TO marry later In life. due TO
various economic and social causes.
