PREFER HOME TO BUSINESS
Most Women Who Quit Thelr aJobss
Do So With . View to Be-
/ coming Wives.

In normal times. twenty out Of evs
cry one hundred persons engaged In
gainful occupations in the United
States are women. At present it IL
believed that eight million women and
girls are at work and that fourth
more will be when industry reaches
normal conditions. This invasion Of
women applies to almost every field Of
enterprise
Yet these figures take no account
Of the vastly greater number Of wom-
en- who are pot classed as In "gainful
occupations" yet perform the natural
function Of women-home making.
The woman who is home maker may
not be able to count her income In dol
lars as accurately as the other, who
draws fixed salary. yet she Is In q
gainful occupation nevertheless. Her
"jewels" may be her sons and daugh-
tiers and her reward may be less flnan-
cial. but she has 1t In the satisfaction
Of having done woman's part In rear
ing q family. It does not fall to ev-
cry woman to give such service. but
to whomever 1t Is given to be wife
and mother the reward Is not less
though 1t IL expressed In different
terms.
That the position Of home maker Il
the natural desire Of women Is shown
in that about as many step out Of
"gainful occupations" annually as en-
ter them. Thus for most women such
employment is but temporary In con-
temptation Of marriage. That SO many
are willing to exchange salaries for
the home Is proof which occupation
appeals with more force to women

British monitors. after seeing minor

signed to the scrap heap By the adj

The history of the monitors goes

and Great Britain's wooden ships
never had to face the ordeal Of the
Merrimac.
But Ericsson prevailed on the Union
leaders Of the American Civil war
to give his idea trial. In 100 days
his ship was built. armed and
equipped, and 1t soon fulfilled the In
iventor's hope that 1t would serve as
a monitor" or lesson, to the Confed-

Even before this. however, the Brit

and had built q vessel of similar
type. At the time OF the armistice

scavenging what had hitherto gone
to waste. The club had not only
utilized spare ground to raise all
needed vegetables for the clubhouse

slaughter time. This credited the
club with a neat sum, which helped
