YOUR MONEY AT WORK
Economic Training for Women
, BY JOHN NJ. osK1soN.

The girl ought to be trained to run
the modern home. to bring healthy
children into the world and to train
them properly. Very slowly we are
beginning to understand this and to
undertake their training.
The other day a reprint from the
Journal Of Home Economics fell into
my hand-a paper by David Kinley,
professor of economics and dean of
the graduate school of the University
of Illinois. on Aspects of Economic
read it with a feeling of astonisnmeht
at what we have been neglecting.
Prof Kinley merely sketched the
work attempted at the University of
Illinois in fitting young women to be
modern homekeepers.
Besides the ordinary instruction in
cooking, health care, etc, the univer-
sity in it's pioneering courses urges
the young women to take course in
by study of the history of the family
mainly as spiritual and incidentally
as an industrial or economic unit.
The changes in the family as an
economic unit are traced in the sue
ceeding studies. Comparisons are
whole income Is derived from the mans
labor and where the women and chill
dren contribute.
What effect does work done by the
women and children away from home
have on the integrity of the family?
That is a question that is studied.
What is the value of the unpaid
work of the women in the home? Here
is another question that is taken up
in the light Of scientific research.
The family as consuming unit is
studied. What ought the family to
consume in the way Of food? What is
the practical. satisfactory diet?
Toward the end of the students
training the study Of a hotel or an in
stitution is made; this in order to ac-
custom the student to the idea that the
family is indeed an economic unit.
Budgets are collected by the students
accurate accounts of the expenditures
Of families. clubs, sororities. boarding
houses and restaurants. Marketing is
included and study of local markets
Social consumption" is studied-that
Is, what enriches family life which can
be enjoyed, by the community. The
young women study the influence Of
Sunday schools on home religious
training.
And so on. Doesn't it give you the
feeling that ahead of our young girls
lies rich field of investigation?

from a substantial gain for Reading.
Market Extremely Susceptible.
The market was again extremely
susceptible to professional pressure

the weakness in certain speculative
issues. notable Industrial Alcohol,
which fell points.
Trading was on a steadily diminish
ing scale and dwindied to slender pro-
portions at midday.
Rails continued to reflect the gen.
eral uncertainty respecting the out
come of pending railroad mediation
conferences. and other representative
stocks were under restraint for similar
reasons.
Motor shares were strong, General
Motors increasing it's gain to 4S points.
Price Movements Erratic.
In the afternoon the market showed
much more irregularity in the matter

tant increases in trading, and some

statement says:
On the Somme front this afternoon,
after an intense artillery preparation.
we launched an offensive which brought
us important gains. North of Maure-
pas, assisted by the British, we capt
ured an entire line of German trenches
on a front of /, 500 metres, reaching at
certain points the acknowledgements
road.
South of Maurepas, on front Of two
kilometres and TO a depth Of 300 to 800
metres, our infantry occupied all
enemy positions east OF the Maurepas-
Clery road, after a sharp attack, which
cost the enemy heavily. These two
operations, brilliantly and rapidly con-
Quoted, resulted in the capture Of a
considerable number of prisoners.
whose numbers are not yet obtainable.
At the same time, south OF the
Somme, our troops, attacking with a
rush, captured a powerfully organized

GERMAN FOOD PLOT
UNVEILED; l06 HELD
Officials Involved Made 800 Per
Cent Profit.

The Hague, Aug. 16.-The new Ger
man "war usury bureau" has re-
vealed surprising details of widely
ramified food frauds, according to re-
PORTS received here. The frauds are
said to involve half dozen leaders
and a hundred accomplices. They
smuggled hundreds of tons of wheat,
rye and barley -four from West Prus-
sia to Berlin, where = was sold at 800
per cent profit.
The existence of the -four, reports
say, was concealed from government
stock takers by numerous articles and
il was shipped on night trains as pota-
toes or machinery. Among the men
we're several government officials and
station master, who are charged with
connivance by consigning -four under
false descriptions.
German newspapers are demanding
exemplary punishment for those ar
rested.
