Rent collecting is branch Of the real
estate work that appeals TO many young
women who are interested IN housing
problems. and several such have entered
IL from settlement work The landlords
find that women make better rent collec-
tors than men, that they get closer To the
tenants, and that they promote better
understanding between the parties to the
renting business.
Rent collecting is not mere turning
up at the first Of the month with the
demand for the rent Ii is TO the interest
Of the land lord that the houses he owns
he properly run and kept up, that unde-
srable tenants be elected, and that the
right kind get right treatment. Women
are good at getting results IN these direc-
tiNis II is usually the woman of the
apartment who pays the rent; II rs she
who has complaints TO make or altera-
tions 20 demand. And she speaks more
freely to another woman, and the other
woman understands better the usual
problems Of housekeeping. IL works well
both WAYS
A rent collector is in n position to know
more than most persons about vacant
apartments, various types of renters,
possibilities of development. bargains
There are really fine business opportuni-
ties in this line, and women should study
them
After all il il women who live in the
home and who manage the home. When
IL comes to homes. women make the better
agents and better rent collectors. and
women are entering the new field with en-
thusIasm.

THE AWKWARD WAY.

Doubtless since the dawn Of houses and
the inevitable houscwork that always
comes with houses women have had the
idea In the back Of their minds that If
things arc conveniently plsced they viii
get more and get that done more easily
than If they are placed just any old way
in any old place But { Isoniy recently that
We are actually taking the yard stick
nf science TO this question Of convenience
and finding fout Just how much energy
a woman actually saves by having her
kitchen equipment placed SO as TO make II
most comfortable and most convenient.
For instance recently In the office OF
Home Economics Of the United states
Department OF Agriculture an experiment
was conducted to show actually how many
calories Of energy a woman expended IN
doing a gwen task OF dish washing when
the table on which she worked was too
low, another test showed the calories Of
energy expended when the table WAS too
high and still another showed how IT was
when conditions were ideal so far az the
height Of the table was concerned. The
result showed thiItv calories per hour
with the low table twenty-five wIth the
table too high and only twentv-one
calories when the height had been ad-
iusted
Now these calories mean real energy
II YOU use too many Of them IN the course
of day you feel exhausted-if you
habitually use too much energy you wear
yourself out. you become a v,rtlm Of
homework, so you see it Is worth while
to find the most convenient way.
And there always is a most convenient
wav, a way that saves times and gives
the maximum satisfaction with the
minimum Of effort Some women seldom
get the right way to do anything. They
waste energy all their l'ves-and U'ually
for the simple reason that they don I
feel that IL makes any difference any waA
that 1ousework is housework the best
way YOU do it.
But when YOU know that actual energy
and strength NAV be saved ism it worth
while to find the most efficient way TO Go
