WOMAN DIRECTS
 CONSUMPT|0 OF <, MUCH OF WEALTH
The Sex Big Determining FactrO in Production
 Throughout U. s.

Women are the determining fac tors in production because they di rect the consumption of S5 per cen of the wealth of the country. When ever that consumption becomes di rected along certain fixed lines the full effect will be felt by producer and distributor. It behooves the nat1on then to see that women arc educated to become wise and intel. ligent buyers.

 Just what may be the resul. when women are all like minded was manifested when women become possessed with the desire to knit ne effect upon the whole w .o!en si'u lion whicn resulted fr)1 G. tWOO0 women demanding lni :os '..'arn is a matter of history.

 Girls Studying Economies.
 According to statistics complied by the bureau of education, there are now 19,000 American girls pur- suing the study of home economies in schools and colleges and these students will ultimately bring with in the scope of their influence as teachers approximately one million pupils, as home economics education begins in the fifth grade in the more progressive cities. It includes foods and nutrition, textiles and clothing, house construction and sanitation, child care and training, household administration and financial manage ment.
 Present day conditions make such training imperative and Mrs. Calvin explains this need by calling atten- tion to the fact that women were formerly producers of the "dry goods" for their households. They carded, spun and wove, both cotton and wool; they worked with men in the preparation of flax and the pro- duction of linen. Even the cloth that was bought and sold was pro- duced in other homes, not in factor ies. Every housewife was judge of the quality of cloth because she had, directly or indirectly, been concern ed with the making of cloth. Gar ments were made either by the home worker, the employed seamstress or the local and often itinerant tailor. Bed linen, blankets and coverlets were home made, and instead of down comforts covered with thin silk or silkaline, there was the patched quilt or comfort made from numerous small and useless bits of cloth and lined with carded cotton or wool or even with feathers from the megrown ducks.
 Machinery Changed All.
 With the coming of machinery the clothing industries left the homes, and gradually even the recognition of cetain fabrics waned and gen. eration of women came to neither know cloth nor were they skillful in the use of the needle or machine. At
