HOME ASSISTANT
TAXES PLACE Of
FORMERSERVANT
Women Entering Homework
In New York on Business
Basis With Regular Hours
and Salary.
(By The Associated PressD

| New York, Nov. 14.-New YORK
is employing business methods to
solve its problem of domestic serV-
! ice. :,
The long vacant place of the old
fashioned servant is being taken ny
the "home notwithstanding d
forty-eight-hour week and gong
and coming to work each day as Il
stenographer or factory workers;
She also buys her own meals ana
expects her employers to address
here as Mrs" or Miss"
The reluctance of women since
the war to engage in housework
and domestic service at wages
which families of moderate means
can pay led a group of New orh
women to investigate the problem,
They found that women reVol'eG
from domestic service because oil
the long hours of labor, lack OF oe-
finition of their tasks, uncertainty
of their hours Of recreation, anu
the feeling that a certain socll''
stigma was attached to their posi-
tons. 4,o,
The result Of the investigation
was a determination to put mousse
work on n business basis and make
II as dignified an occupation as
office or factory. The women VINO
have been attracted to houseworK
on the home assistant basis re-
ceiye S1S a week for n 4S-hour
week. They get Sundays and mol.
idays or their equivalent time orr
and a vacation OF two weeks with
paw at the end of a years WORK
They are paid overtime at spec
flied rate.
A weekly schedule of household
tasks in the employers home is
arranged that will keep the work
or busy every hour she is sched-
uled to work. She quits at noon
and GOES out for her lunch. When
the days work is ended she leaves
for her own home. The domestic
servant has become a business
woman with the same freedom
and independence as the rest of
her sisters in the business world
The success of the new venture
led the investigators to organize
the bureau of household occupa-
tons which acts as a clearing
house for the home assistants and
a place where both the workers
and their employers can have diff
ficulties adjusted as they may
arise. Mrs. Richard Boardman,
Mrs. George D. Pratt, Mrs. Henry
s Patterson and Mrs. Roberts
Walker are among the women who
are actively engaged in the work.

JOAN RECEIVES A LESSON.

, Joan was remarkably flush" as
she expressed it, for the rest of
the week, joyously relating to her
mother and Hannah how she had

her another cent, so I gave back

"Oh, but she couldn't, Mumsie!
You are so different"
Margaret had spent much
thought upon how best to make
Joan feel she must not gamble
but in vain. Nothing occurred to
her as q deterrent that was not
too obvlous ind the OBVIOUS was
not to be used with effect where
Joan was concerned.

Come, dear, let us take a walk;
have some errands to do"
When they left the house Mar
garet had no slightest idea that
anything would happen to help
her solve this new problem. But
as they emerged from a fruit store
two or three ragged little colored
boys were shooting craps on the
sidewalk, their action punctuated
with words more emphatic than
polite.
Margaret stopped, and Joan
clinging to her arm was also
halted.
"My little girl shoots craps, too"
Margaret said on the spur Of the
moment.
"Ah, go way! No girl like her
shoots craps!" the larger of the
boys returned. "She's a little lady,

who had been picking wild flowers.
The body was we'll dressed, having
on blue serge suit, two pair of
pants, three suits of underwear and
two shirts. A box of wheat, covered
with gopher poison, was found near
the body as was a pocket knife.
Wrist and Throat Cut
The mans wrists had both been
cut and large cash was found in his
neck. A gold watch and twenty-one
dollars In currency was found in his
pocket along with several receipts
and Canadian army exemption card,
which bore the name Of Louis Dolver
and address of pendant, Doreille

The county coroner could not be

the scene shortly after the body was

such decomposed condition that il
was necessary to disinfect it and
leave where it was found until Tues.
