The highest salaried group Of
women demonstrators and sales
women ever assembled in WASH
ington is to be found at the Ma
tional Food Show and Household
Exposition, which tomorrow aft
ernoon will begin its second and
closing week at Convention Hall. .
All Worth the Money.
Local and national food manufac-
turers and dealers in household ap'
pliances have assigned their most ex-
perienced and highest salaried women
to the show with a view to setting
off their goods TO the very best ad-
vantage. Many of these women
draw salaries of 500 a week, and are
worth every cent Of II, according TO
their employers.
One of the demonstrators at a
Eelatine booth Is $1OO-a-Week
woman. She's a natural born gela-
tine artist. She can take any kind OF
fruit or vegetable. throw 1t nonchal-
antly into a pan Of gelatine, and turn
out dessert that makes the ladies'
chorus, "Ah-h-h-h" She knows
more gelatine recipes than a film star
knows swear words. And above all,
she has a pleasing Personality. That
earns her most of her 500 a week.
A big department store has another
yIo0-a-week woman to demonstrate
aluminium pans and other kitchen APP
piiances. That woman knows pots
aud pans from A to q. She can tell
housewives anything they want to
know about kitchen equipment. And
she, too, has a pleasing personality,
for which she receives about S75.75
Of the 800 per week.
One exhibitor pays a pretty young
girl $50 a week to cook doughnuts
and corn fritters that he gives away
TO patrons.
Heavens abovew you shrek. I'VE
pay our cook only $50 a month, and
she's not so bad. We haven't been
poisoned yet"
But this exhibitor is taking no
chances. He wants those doughnuts
and corn fritters cooked right. II
they're not cooked right his products
get a black eye. So he bays the little
girl the $50 per to throw wads Of
dough into a pan of grease.
What Husbands Know.
Another exhibitor pays a cookbook.
ing young woman SIS a week to make
biscuit for free distribution. This
man knows what many a downcas st
husband also knows-that there is
real art in making chewable biscuit.
He also knows that IL any of his
patrons should break their teeth on
the sample biscuit his flour there
after would be about as popular as
roach powder in that household. So
he pays the SIS a week and doesn't
shed q tear.
