[From the New York SUM-
1vO ECONOMIC truth is simpler
~ than the truth as to the basis
- this terrible cost of living cris-
is. 1t is wheat and-because of
wheat-corn and other fodder. No
intellectual light is clearer than the
light on the responsibility for this
false and cruel food cost. 1t rests
solidly upon the Wheat Administra-
ton of the United States Govern
ment.
Let us see how the Administration
compels mere grains of wheat and
corn to come out to the American
consumer in cost through all he
eats, all he wears, all he otherwise
consumes, as grains of gold. Let US
see how that Administration forces
the American dollar, while the
American worker strives frantically
to pump his wages higher, to shrink
in it's capacity to pay for his bread
and his meat.
Take, as an instance. the raising
of poultry. To begin with, the
Matching chick is worth no more
may be a nickel, it may be dime.
The difference, at the moment, is of
no consequence. What happens
afterward is what counts.
Put into the chicken q third of
bushel of corn at so cents a bushel
to raise, feed and fatten him all
the way from the Matching to the
plucking when he is slaughtered.
This gives, with the original egg
value, some 20 cents of cost.
Put into the chicken some 10
cents of wages to handle and care
for him all the way from the
poultry farm to the butcher shop.
This gives, with what has gone be-
fore, some 80 cents of cost.
Put into the chicken only a single
10 per cent of profit on the pro-
longed investment all the way from
the barn yard to the dinner table.
Put into the chicken only per cent
for economic wastage - chickens
that die. chickens that spoil, chick
ems that get lost, chickens that dis
appear in bad credits-and for other
expenses like transportation and de-
livery All those items put to-
gether from start to finish give only
about 40 cents.
But instead of the old costs, put
into the chicken one-third of a
bushel of corn at 50 to $2.25 a
bushel. This, with the original egg
value of five cents, gives about 10
cents. Instead of 10 cents of wages
put into the chicken 20 to 25 cents.
This gives about. dollar. Put into
the chicken as before, 10 per cent
profit and per cent economic
wastage. This gives all told un-
| g.. l. L.. II.
a quarter.
This is exactly the way grain and
labor have trebled the cost of
chicken living, whether there is
profiteering guilt or profiteering in
| nocence.
Now consider the steer. Putt not
a third of bushel, as for the chick
en-, but many bushels of corn into
the steer all the way from the range
| to the slaughter pen. Put that corn
into him at 60 cents a bushel-
twenty bushels or ten bushels or
what you will. If it is ten bushels
| the cost is Sc. Put into him not
pennies of wages, as in the chicken,
| but dollars of wages all the time
! from the day of calving to the day
| of carving. Put an average, say.
of five full days of labor into that
steer at 50 a day-or $40. This
gives. say, Sc of grain cost and $40
of labor cost, or SIG. Add the Is
per cent for transp .tation, storage,

OPPORTUNITY AWAITING WOMEN
IN BUSINESS FIELD
By Winifred Black

YERD are some things that a
clever little Stenographer
. brought In TO me the other
day. She wrote them all out her
self, and then she said she thought
they might be a suggestion to me
and might write something about
them.
I'm not going to write a thing.
I'm going TO let her talk for herself
and see IL you don't think there's a
good deal of common sense In
what she has to say:
"There are 80 many Of rs girls
in business this year, and 50 many
preparing to be in business next
year, and 50 many linitless oppor-
tuuities waiting for the girl who
was in an office year before last,
and for the woman who has been
working for three or four or a
dozen years.

women of America, and you soon

scious and careful preparation in

good business woman?'
It's "Up to YOU"
The business woman of today
must be a competent, thinking,
working women OF intelligence and
good judgment.
"And, oh, you women, if you
could only realize the limitless
possibilities in front of you-and
the potential possibilities in you
and the doors that have opened

would fill with your best efforts
and your best thoughts and your
best judgment. You would per-
form your work with neatneSs,
with promptness and with intelli-
gence, and you would quietly look
around for whatever else you
might find to do, and you would
do that, and you would bring TO
your business hours every thought
and hint and suggestion and idea
that has ever thrust itself upon
your consciousness.
"You wouldn't have time to
think about that party or dance
last night or the picnic next Sun
day or that pretty blue organdy

You wouldn't be thinking about
what that nice looking youngster

Dear Mrs. woodrow: Please,
please. read my letter and give me
a little advice. Circumstances are
such that I either have to go to
work or marry. The man / care
for most has recently failed in his
business. and, although / love him
dearly, ! can't bear the thought OF
marrying a man who could hardly
provide the necessities OF life,
There is another man, though, who
begs me to marry him, but do not
know what to do. have never
worked in my life. just long for
a homo. ! crave beautiful things.
and 1 am not happy unless 1 have
them. Sometimes i think IL would
be the best thing for me to do to
go out and work, but I am not
strong, and ! haven't a single gift.
Oh, do tell me which way to de-
eide. And with all my heart ! will
thank you a million times. ""
THERE is an old and famous
fable, LA Cigale," the story
of the grasshopper who
played all Summer long and
scorned the busy ants thrifty lay
ing up their Winters store. But
Summer came to an end as Sum-
mers have a way of doing, and the
grasshopper found herself shelter
less, foodless, her gauzy wings be-
draggle din the Autumn storms.
No one, dear "V," can give any
worth while advice as to the next
move on the chessboard of life,
For instance, you might marry
either of your suitors, and discov-
er that by sheer chance you had
done the wisest possible thing for
all concerned; or you might be
making a ghastlu and irrevocable
mistake of lifetime.
A Reckless Gambler.
| must confess, however, that
you appear to be a most reckless
gambler. You are stalking your
youth, beauty and powers of at

LA CIGALE IN REAL LIFE. EARNS
A STERN REBUKE
Bv Mrs Wilson Woodrow.

now, You are seriously consider
ing discarding one sutton because
he has failed in business; but you
cannot so easily get rid Of a hus-
band who might encounter fnan-
cial wreck.
1t is even within the bounds Of
possibility that you might find
yourself with an invalid husband
and several little children to sup
port. What would you do about it,
then?
You could not evade your re-
sponsibilities. To say, 81 am not
strong" II have no gifts" would
not give food to the children nor
care to the husband. Such cases
are not uncommon, as you prob
ably know. But they are unneces-
Sary tragedies, due entirely to the
wrong upbringing of girls.
The unwritten statement that
underlies your letter is this: II
want to marry a rich man, and be
well cared for, and provided with
those things which / consider
necessary for my happiness"
To no one, even the most favored,
is life one perpetual pathway Of
roses. The storms come. You,
poor La Cigale, will encounter
yours. And if you have not pro-
vided yourself with a raincoat and
an umbrella, you are going to find
yourself very wet and uneomfort-
able.
Play Fair In Love.
To achieve a successful marriage,
to manage a home as it should be
managed and give young children
efficient, intelligent and tender
care is one of the most exaeting
professions a woman can choose.
u you feel capable of undertaking
that, why do you balk at the idea
of engaging in some remunerative
occupation, that would give you a
priceless sense of independence
and self-reSpect?
Then when you met the right
man you would be able to marry
for love, and not for expediency.
The woman who marries for a
home or to keep from going to
work or for any other reason than
love isn't playing square. More
than that, profound selfshness is
a poor foundation on which to
build a lasting home.
You say that you are not very
strong. That is probably because
you are idle and drifting, blown
hither and thither by the winds
of chance, and the sub-conscious
anxiety and fear of what may pos
sibly befall you no doubt affects
yolr health.
How do you know that you have
not a single gift? Power to him,
who power exerts." Your letter
shows that you are of an emotion
al and possibly artistic tempera-
ment. You might be a success
upon the stage or have a talent
for designing. You are probably
very clever at a number of things.
Why not try to find out something
about yourself, instead of sitting
like a young bird in the nest with
itS mouth eDaa. waiting to be FAD?
