Teaching Children to Shop
BY NORA COLE SKINNER.

when arriving home from making
a bad purchase.
Ii would save the mother many n
trip to town, and save the child
many a disappointment In after
years, II the matter was taken up
seriously early In life.
In the day OF our grandmothers,
womans big job was that of pro-
ducer. Her family enjoyed few
articles of food or clothing or house
hold needs that she did not make,
even mani facture. But today, fac
tories have taken that out OF her
hands and home made products can
not compete with that OF the mills.
So her position has changed from
that OF producer to that OF buyer
and for this new Job she needs new
training.
Mothers continue to teach their
daughters the art OF baking, the
way to turn out a clean house. or
trim hat, but little attention is
given in preparing her for the most
important part of the whole-that
OF purchasing agent for a future
family.
Mrs. Thomas c.. Winter, president
OF the American Federation of
Women's clubs, and one of the four
American women of the advisory
committee at the arms conference
states that the federation has fig
ured out that the average house
wife Is worth $40 a month in the
home. Many are worth much
more" she says. but this is the
average the country over. Totaling
the number of women classified as
housewives or no occupation In
the last census, we figure that keep
ing house Is $4,000. 900. 900 bust
ness in America annually"
When figures run into billions,
surely II can be seen she deserves
the most careful training and
preparation before taking over the
Job.
The health OF her family rests on
q woman's knowledge Of food values
and food sanitation, and the hap
plness OF her family depends large
" upon her wise distribution OF the
20 mily funds.
OF the millions of dollars spent
each year in this country for the
necessities of life. 80 per cent are
reported spent by women. It Is a
big work that needs thorough train
ing to perform. Worthy grocers.

money and Liberty bonds destroyed

that the COW had consumed few hun

PRICE OF LABOR FAVORABLE
Indications A.e That There VIII Be
No Drawbacks Along That
Line This Season.

Labor costs on federai-aid projects
under construction this year indicate
that there will be no Drawback along
this line in the building Of roads dur
Ing the coming season, according to
the bureau Of public roads, United
States Department of Agriculture. The
price for common labor ranged around
20 and 80 cents an hour In great ma.
jority OF the states. being somewhat
lower In the Southern states and go
ing up &c nearly so cents an hour In
the Pacific states. The prices OF
teams reported were In great many
instances as low as the 1914 level. II
is probable, however, that there will
be an Increase when the farming sea-
son begins, as teams have always
been cheaper in winter.

THE RIGHT THING
at the
RIGHT TIME
BINARY MARSHALL DUFFEE
GOOD FORM IN DRESS

VOU may have read recently of q
= clergyman who sent a bride home
from church because of what he con-
sidered the immodesty of her dress,
and another well known divine as
sured the women OF his parish that he
would have them refused admittance
to church, IL they came clad in the
extremes of fashion.
Whether the styles OF dress that
these priests referred to were actually
immodest doubtless depends on the
point of view. But that they were inap-
proprlate TO church is unquestionable.
To be dressed always In good taste
does not necessarily mean that you
must never indulge in the more ex-
treme forms of the fashion, but that
you should wear them never where
they might give offense. For instance
1t is now in most localities perfectly
customary for women young and old
to wear low necks and short sleeves
at evening entertainments. In fact in
this country young, unmarried girls
habltually wear lower evening gowns
than their mothers-though among
well bred French women, unmarried
girls are not so privileged.
Now since this is customary II Is not
IN bad taste, because II attracts no
undue attention and causes no mis-
judgment.
The same thing holds true in regard
TO bathing costumes. Had women
worn the sort of bathing suits that
they do now ten or twenty years ago,
they would have been hooted of the
beaches. But times have changed and
our bathing costumes have changed
most emphatlcally. II does not mean
that we have grown more lax. Doubt
less the tightly laced, exaggerated
figure of two decades ago would give
more offense TO the modern taste than
the rather abbreviated bathing cos
tunes. It is all question Of what we
are used to.

HUGE NETWORK OF HIGHWAYS
When Federsl-Ald System Is Com

Miles OF Roads.

Prepared BY the United state. Department
OF Agricuiture)
When the federal-ald highway sys-
TEN. provided for by the recently en-
acted federal highway act. is com.
pleted there will be network OF
roads 10000 miles In length covering
the whole United States. The time
required for the completion OF the
system will depend upon the rate st
which the necessary federal funds are
provided, say officials OF the bureau Of
public roads. United States Depart
ment OF Agriculture, which adminls-
ters federai-aid money.
An Idea OF what these roads viii
mean TO the country can be gained by
studying the effect Of roads built In
recent years and picturlng what would
happen should they be torn up and
left In their former condition.
Should these roads go back to their
former state and the motor vehicles
which have come with them disappear
there would be many changes. Many
suburbanltes would have TO move into
the city and there would be a decrease
In value OF suburban real estate.
Cities would lave trouble In getting
.helr fresh mix and food supply.
Much farm LAID would decrease In
