HELP TO FILL FAMILY PURSE
In City Of YOUNGSTOWN, N. ", Three
quarters Of the Wives Are in
Gainful Occupations.

In a survey Of family incomes in
nearly one hundred cities of the Unit
ed States, the department Of labor
found that in Johnstown, N. Y, three
quarters Of the wives earn money.
The Labor Review explains that this
remarkable condition prevails in Johns
town because glovemaking is the prin-
cipal industry there and furnishes
work which women can do at home.
This appeals to- them, because they
are able to earn good wages without
leaving their household.
In almost one-sixth Of the New York
city homes visited women contributed
earnings toward the support Of the
home. In Boston, one wife out of
ten works; in Buffalo, one in twenty
eight; in Cleveland and Cincinnati one
in seven, and in Pittsburgh only one
in fifty. It Is interesting to note that
Investigators found that Surprisingly
large percentage bf town dwellers de-
rive some income from gardens and
poultry. Ninety-three per cent Of those
visited in Cleveland had a garden or
chickens.
