Dear Miss Grey: In answer 20

VARY.

Dear Miss Grey; Relative TO your question, "Can a
couple get ahead financially il the wife does not work
too? That depends Of almost entirely the ccum-
stances surrounding each individual But why all
the ecinmoton about losing his independence or
becoming snippy? II your individual self is COM
posed of those elements, it will not matter if the wife
works not that which you will come out.
My husband and have been married two years. was
working when married and still holding the
same position. But our home is 5000 basis.
We have mutual bank account keep family ledger,
both know where the money goes The housework and
running of four-room modern house is also $3.50
proposition We have tried to keep false pride out of
lives and by doing find that still pals and
just much interested in each other when
menced marital voyage.
Any home where there children naturally spells
mother" But IL there only two husband and wife
cannot quite realize how all the waking hours of the
day could be spent in keeping house And why not turn
that spare time into something vital and useful instead
of wasting it? Life short enough anyway Nearly two
thirds of eveyones life is nonproductve This of
means the average person, for there always
exceptions to every rule So why is it not fair and right
for any who desires to share the productive
load of life with her hepmate?

RICHARD is
NOT SMART ]
AS MANAGER
THE fall of Ffrpo from the exalt.

TYHE fall Of Firpo from the exalted
l. position he attained thru the de-
feat Of Willard may be attributed to
one person-TeN Richard
Richard is u great promoter the
greatest in the world But he is not
great manager,
He should not, to begin with. have
let Firpo fight anybody after he dis
posed of Willard.
Then he should have warned Firpo
not to talk. The very worst thing
B'irpo could have said was that he
ought not to fight Dempsey for d
year-that he should wait until he
is more experienced.
Carpe1tier was more afraid OF
DEMPSEY than Firpo is, But he was
not allowed to say so.
That was one of the reasons Car
pentier was not permitted to talk
much with the newspaper men.
When he did talk, Jack Curley, his
American manager, was always at
his elbow to. see that he made no slip
of the tongue.
So Carpenter, despite his misgiv-
ings, went into the ring to defeat, OF
course, but with the idea well inn
pressed on the public that he might
win.

career Ruth stands out as the

and labeled thru by many Of the
baseball experts. Ruth has been the
outstanding figure OF the season in
American league circles. Opening
the season in the best shape or
his career, Ruth has played brill
liant ball in all departments OF
the game. lie has starred in every
department Of play rather than
batting alone.
Inability TO hit In tho world
series with the Giants created tie
impression that any plscher who
could slow up on Rath would ruin
his effectiveness at the plate. This
year pitchers have worked on Ruth
with great care. Few tsvlrlers
have taken a chance with the fast
one. Ruth has been fed on diet
OF slow curves, low and outside.
tantalizing slow balls and elusive
fadeaways. Despite an this the
season Of 1928 stands out as the
big one OF his career.
