eral stoves requiring attention;
ilaann1ps supplied the light.
The housewife of that period had
only few outside activities. For a
married woman to work for money in
her home or out of it, was serious
slur on her husband. OF course If the
man of the house was sick or disabled
she might take boarders or teach
school or dressmake But if he were
healthy and able to work, she couldn't,
not unless she wanted to make him the
butt and scorn of the entire commun-
] ity.
1t is shocking to think how much
wasted talent and energy there was
among the women of that generation.
They took it out in intricate fancy
work, in elaborate cookery, in meticul-
GUS housekeeping, sometimes doubt
less in sheer bad temper. And they
didn't know what was the matter with
them.
| All that has been changed. Elec-
tricity has done some of it. House
hold machinery has helped. Every
thing that makes it easier to buy food,
clothing and general household sup
plies, when formerly the raw mater
ials only could be had, has been cut
ting down the housewives working
hours
1t is not to be wondered at that the
more active-minded, the more daring,
began to chafe at this inactivity. There
was the drawback too of having to
ask the Man for money every time she
wanted something. To woman &C.
customed to earning and spending her
own money this was intolerable even
though he was generous.
| So she began to ask more and more
insistently, why not keep on with
nay job after I'm married?" So that
now when you go into an office you
will very likely find one-half the fem
mime members of the staff Miss, and
the other Mrs, and precious little diff
ference between them so far as eff
cheney goes.
Sophie Kerr, whose life is given to
the study of women's problems, has OBJ
served a good many business girls,
some of whom stayed at work after
marriage and some of whom did not.
She finds that 1.-THE average of hap
piness, Of content, of permanence in
the marriage relation is fairly equal
between the two classes"
But there are certain very definite
denials and hamperings in combined
business-and-home life which the girl
who undertakes it seems inevitably to
experience. The first of these is the
great drain on her physical strength.
1t takes an usually strong, healthy
and calm-nerved girl to stand running
a home and putting in the eight hours
Of necessary time to the average Of
flee job.
Miss Kerr, however, gives as her
verdict that the ordinary routine Of
a home can often be managed accept
ably by the woman in business. The
question Of motherhood, however, is
different she says. No woman in fair
ness to herself or her child can go
through the months preceding its

birth working day after day in an Of
flee. The prospective mother, Miss
Kerr insists, must have rest, she must
have proper food, she must readjust
her whole being to her task. After the
child is born, the mother needs at least
a year to get back her strength and
vitality.
Miss Kerr thinks it would be fine
thing if every woman who marries
would decide to given ten or fifteen
years of domestic preoccupation" to
her family, and afterward go out into
the world and work again at something
useful and self-supporting.

The McFadden bill for effecting
certain amendments to the Federal Re-
serve and National Bank acts, and
which with some minor changes in
form has been pending in the Con-
Rress about four years, has passed
both houses, and been signed by the
President.
The most important feature OF the
bill is that which provides for in
determinate extension of the charters
of the Federal Reserve banks.
Criticism of the Reserve Banks
The State Senate of Iowa recently
adopted a resolution preceded by. a
series of whereases, first declaring
that the power of credit expansion
and contraction by the Reserve banks
is lodged with the Federal Reserve
Board. upon basis of liquid assets,
and then proceeding as follows:
Whereas, real estate and farm lands
were not included as a basis or liquid

An Example of Criticism

Several years ago under the pres
sure of criticism of the loose AND
defamatory character 10 which the
Reserve banks have. been subject, the
Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago
quoted without the name or location
of the recipient an extract from a
letter from it to a bank officer who
had been expressing his dissatisfaction
with Reserve bank policy. The ex-
tract reads as follows:
cannot illustrate to you what hap
pened to the Iowa banks at that time.
or what the influence of the Federal Re-
serve Bank was in their business. any
better than to point out to you figures
of your own institution. They are just
a sample of what happened to hundreds
of other banks in the State of Iowa.
If you will look up your records, hav-
ing in mind the dates of defation above
mentioned, you will find that your in
stitution was out of debt here in April,
1920, and that in December, 1920. you
had borrowed here as high as $4,000,
which was five and one-half times the
amount of your capital stock. Does
that indicate that we were calling your
loans in a manner that created great
hardship to your customers9
You will also notice that on February
20, 1920, your deposits were $652.00O,
while on December 70. 1920. they were
$483 900, a decline of more than 43 per
cent. The fact that the deposits in
your bank during that period went down
100000 might suggest to you a reason
why you found it necessary to ask some
of your customers to pay their loans at
that time, and why you needed and got
help from the Federal Reserve Bank for
that purpose. Your decline in deposits
in 1920 made it necessary for you to
rediscount $4,000 to pay your depos-
itors This bank was glad to furnish
you with that accommodation, as needed.
Maybe, If the Federal Reserve Bank
service had not been available, you
could have borrowed that amount of
money somewhere else. do not know.
am sure, however. that there are many
probably several hundred-banks in
Iowa that could not have secured else
where the amount of credit that they
got directly and indirectly from the Fed,
eral Reserve Bank at that time, and
if the service of the Federal Reserve
Bank had not been available to them
in that emergency, they would have
been compelled to close their doors.
The foregoing are the basic facts
about the great defation in Iowa, and
the relation of the Reserve banks
thereto. Such flood of nisrepre-
sentation has swept over the State
that they have been buried out OF
sight.

of which are ineligible as the basis
of loans at the Reserve banks. Farm
products are more acceptable than frs
mortgage bonds upon the finest bust
ness blocks in New York city OF
upon the best railroads in the United
States. The latter are not acceptable
at all, not because they are not val
liable as investments but because they
are not Liquid" in the sense that
grain, meat, dairy products, cotton
rice, potatoes, clothing, shoes, dress
goods, coal, lumber, implements, and
other goods constantly moving in cur
rent and necessary trade are liquid.
There is one thing to be said for
the loans that were made by the Re-
serve banks upon government bonds :
the security was good. Initiation de-
preciated the purchasing power of the
currency based thereon but at least
the security proved to be worth the
value for which it was pledged. What
would have been the results to the
Reserve banks and their currency if
promises based upon farm lands and
other real estate in Iowa, Florida and
elsewhere had been accepted by those
institutions? Probably the acceptance
of first mortgages would not satisfy
the intent of the above resolution, for
people who have been able to give
first mortgages have not been in SER
ious trouble. The want reflected in
the resolution has been for a redis-
counting institution that would issue
currency on second and third mort
cages.
Responsibility for DeAation
The grievance against the Reserve
banks is kept alive by insistence that
they were responsible for the deha-
ton of prices and credit, and that
neither world conditions nor the reck-
less over-1ending of local banks out
side the legitimate banking field had
anything to do with it. An abundance
of evidence is available showing that
the Reserve banks did not force the
fall of prices or the contraction of
credit, but on the contrary greatly
expanded their, outstanding credits
while prices we're declining. The
principal declines occurred in the year
1920 The prices of farm products
were at their highest in January, 1920
and lower at the end of that year
than they have been most of the time
since. This mischief was wrought in
the year 1920, and during that year
the rcdiscounts of the Federal Re-
serve bank Of Chicago increased from
$267, 100000 to $475,000,000, or by
77.9 per cent.
The Federal Reserve bank of Chi
cago has stated that the borrowings
of its Iowa member banks in Feb
ruary, 1920, aggregated $22,607, 0GO
and in December of the same year
aggregated $os, 636,000, an increase of
$1,000 900, or 1856 per cent? 1t is
strange that no member of the Iowa

above these percentages and borrow
ing heavily from the Eastern Reserve
banks to maintain them shows that
the entire system was being strained
to meet the demands of the farming
districts. The simple fact is that it
was beyond the capacity of the Re
serve banks to furnish all the credit
that was wanted at that time.
