WIVES GET THIRD OF PAY
Can Demand It Under German Law
to Keep Up Tables.

BERLIN, April 16.-German husbands
must give their wives one-third Of
their incomes to maintain the family
table.
That is the law, and the German
newspapers now are calling 1t to the
attention of housewives who are hav-
ing trouble making their allowances
cover increased food costs.
This one-third income is not to meet
rent or the wages of servants; it Is
merely to cover the expense of keeping
UP. the table.
