HELPING OUT TIE FARM WIFE
Missouri Woman In Charge Of Home
Economics Work Of Depart.
n,ent Of Agriculture.

A Missouri woman has set out to
make the lot of the farmers wife
easier. DR.. Louise Stanley. formerly
dean OF home economics at the UnIver-
sity OF Missouri, who recently was
called to Washington to take charge
OF the home economics work OF the
Department Of Agriculture, will con-
into the intimate problems Of the
farm home.
The work of the government In nu-
triton studies and reports on prepara-
tion OF foods is to be carried on, but
the Missouri woman will go into phases
of home management neglected in the
past, says Washington letter in the
Kansas City Times.
For example, here are some OF the
questions her department will study
this winter:
How much would the farm wife con.
tribute to the farm income II her mani
fold services were put down in termr
of actual wages?
What textiles weac best in children's
clothing on the farm?
II the farmer is TO build a new house
how should the kitchen be arranged
for maximum convenience?
What sort of washing machine is
cheapest for the farmers wife to buy?
Doctor Stanley has submitted her
program TO Secretary Wallace and II
has received his approval. She will
make the studies In order OF their rela-
tive Importance to the homemakers on
the farm.
Studies OF the cost OF housing are
at present needed. The cost OF hous-
ing has increased to a relatively
greater extent than any other element
in the household budget" said Doctor
Stanley. Estimates must be readjust-
ed, and more definite information as
TO the relation OF this cost to running
expenses obtained.

GEORGES INCOME IS GROWING
King Of England Said to Be Making
Money Through His Realty
Investments.

From England comes report thai
King George V has increased his In.
come this year by several million uo'-
lars through his realty Investments. IL
is said the greater part OF that IN
crease comes from the kings Regent
street hOldings-and thereby hangs
tale.
Many years ago, as the New YORK
Herald reports the circumstances, Re-
gent street was developed with row
of stucco houses which became the
laugh of London because OF their odd
appearance. The wits OF the town
poked so much fun at the houses that
no one would occupy them.
Finally the rents were lowered TO
such a point that people decided to
pocket their pride along with the saw
ing in rent and the buildings were
tenan,ed soon for an average rental
OF about 500 year
Those who accepted the kings oher
had to sign ninety-nne-year leases
The nequity of the contract became
ODNlVus MS htetht sAt'l S'S' "a $50
portance as business thoroughfare'
hut none OF the successive rulers OF
England ever tried to force their ten.
ants TO pay higher rents. Bad bust
ness though II was undoubtedly, the
rulers realized that law was para
mount and neither sovereign nor sub
Iect could circumscribe Its provisions
Now the leases are expiring and
King George is reaping the benefit OF
renewals AT current market values
Under the new leases tenants will pay
as much a week AS they did yenr.
