Miss Gladys fisher, ichO reveals Chdt
the aUercge mother is like and hOtU she
puts TN her time.
National Committee for Public Aid to Mothers,
and former lecturer at Columbia. For many
years she has been gathering material on
mothers. and she has BEN able to draw certain
deductions about the average American
mother"
And what conclusions have these two au-
thoritieS reached?
| lERE is the way Miss Fisher describes the
average American mother:
She is from 25 to 35 years old.
She is the mother Of three children and she
probably is going to have one or two more
eventually
She is the wife of a man who makes about
81 300 year.
She is in charge of a home of about five
rooms.
She has no servant, except that now and then
she gets little help with the laundry work.
Her health is fairly good and she is a gram
mar school graduate.
That is the picture Miss Fisher paints. Dr.
sBomar, studying the replies to her question
nsire sizes mother up as follows
She is, for the most part, a firm believer in
prohibition, and usually prefers W. c. T. u
work to other activities.
She likes to play bridge and she devoteS just
q little less than three hours a week to this
pursuit
She likes the movies, and goes anywhere
from once year to five times week. When
she goes she prefers something romantic, with
q good moral in second place, and an edu-
cational film third
Twenty-Five per cent of mothers belong to
some Woman's club.
So says DR.. Bomar leafing through her
QUESTIONABLE. The questions she asked some
hundreds of mothers in all parts of the country
the answers to which provided the details for
this little picture-included these
Do you belong to a woman's club? If so,
what is its purpose?
How much time do you give to bridge play
ing a week?
How many times do you attend movies dur
ing the week? What type of film interests you
most?

HE American mother has come in for
a lot of discussion in recent years
Writers, psychologists and femi-
nists have said that she is this, that
and the other kind of person; that
she does such and such things in her
spare time and tl at her ideas are so and So
But no one has really known anything very
definite about it,
Now, however. two authorities in this field
have submitted the results OF careful surveys
that have just been completed, and it is possible
for the first time to get fair idea of the truth
about the lady
One of these authorities is Willie Memoth
Bomar doctor of philosophy of Columbia Uni
versity and authority on home economies, who
has just finished a Nation wide study based on
an extensive qucstionnaire.
The other is Gladys Fisher chairman of the

"And for these reasons I am prompted to
believe that we should all encourage our aver
age mothers to save their zest for their pri-
mary tasks and if it amuses them, to find their
recreation at the movies on Tuesday and
Thursday evenings. For thus the average
mother may be renewing her forces for budget
building and menu planning all the rest Of the
week.
IN trying to find out just what community h-
terests the average mother has, DR.. Bomar
asked each mother to rate them according to
her opinion of their mportance-and, in adj
dition, to state which one she herself was ac-
lively engaged in. Her list includes the fol-
lowing activities:
Proper care of dependent and economically
underpriveged children.
Establishment or proper functioning of school
and public clinics or health centers.
Pure and adequate milk supply, including
milk inspection.
Enactment enforcement of adequate child
labor laws.
Establishment or proper functioning of infant
or maternity welfare centers.
Provision of hot lunches for school children.
Parent-teacher organizations.
Establishment or operation of recreation
centers.
Establishment or upkeep of community lie
braries reading clubs
Boy and Girl Scout movements and Y. M,
G. A. and Y. W. C. A. activities.
Establishment or upkeep of night schools.
By checking the order of Importance in
which mothers rated these activities, Dr. Bomar
was able to get good picture of she average
woman's attitude toward the currents of COM
munity life in her neighborhood

it more reasonable for the average American
mother to spend most of her energies at home?
And should it not be the job of the social en-
gineers to draft childless or older women for
club and community work? Let the grand
mothers step forward and lend hand. Let the
suddenly lonely woman volunteer, the woman
whose children have married and who feels
the emptiness of changing houses.
Judge Anderson of Georgia, in comment
on the Wickersham report, remarked that in

 The booklet, which bears the title -Four Years Along Connecti- cut Highways," describes the work of the roadside development bu- reau since 1t was instituted as the landscape division of the highway in 1927 under the of its present execu- tive, Luther M. Keith. The book is handsomely Illustrated with pie lures which depict the various op- erations conducted by the bureau.
 It is divided into five sections, the first of which covers the de- velopment of roadside beautifica- ton in general.

City of Detroit buys l37 new FORD cars Hundreds now in use prove low cost of operation

THESE 1S7 new Ford cars represent one of the largest deliveries ever made to a municipality at one time. Twenty-one radio-equipped Ford scout cars were traded in on this purchase. They had been operated day and night for two years in heavy traffic and all kinds of weather.
 Theirindividualrecordsr from "a, ABA miles to I4S, ,72S miles, with grand total of 2,28S. .O97 miles. The operating cost of the 2l cars was 2.284 cents mile - less than l/3 cents. This cost included all fuel, oil, tires re. pairs and every other item except depreciation and insurance.
 300 in the Police Department travelled total of 6,59l ,937 miles during the past fiscal year.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1931-12-02

at an average cost of 20 cents mile. Many claims have been made on operating costs, but here in the carefully kept motor car records of the City of Detroit is positive, convincing proof of Ford economy.
 In the column at the Jeff, it is seen that 21 Ford scout ears averaged less than l /3 cents mile and 300 Ford cars in all branches of Detroit police work averaged 2.9 cents miIey
 Day and night, twenty-four hours day, these Ford cars are in operation. Few branches of transportation demand such grueling ser- vice. The records show that low fuel and oil consumption is but one of the Ford's many econ- omies. Ford materials, simplicity of design and accuracy in manufacturing provide unusual
