HOUSEWIFE NOT TO
BE GREATLY PITIED
Her Work Nc More Tiresome
Than Business Life?

A popular argument against house
work is it's monotony, the repetition
OF the same tasks day after day, the
using of dishes only to wash them,
the cooking of food only to consume
it and prepare more.
But it seems to me that these
things are not more tiresome or more
endless than filing cards, or teaching
from the same textbooks year after
year to children who probably do not
hear and will not remember the
texts, or indexing books and pictures
in a library. which did before
was married, or even sitting at a
typewriter and pounding out hun
dreds of words says Louise Owen

they are perhaps more firing,
since they involve a great deal of
physical effort. but they are on that
very account more wholesome. For.
after all. they are the very stuff of
daily living. the fundamentals upon
which existence itself depends.
Another argument against house
keeping as profession is that 1t Is
a waste of time for women with

brains. But anyone who has tried to
do it will deny that. The planning,
the carrying out of the daily me-
chanics of any house is compli-
Gated and detailed business, changing
from day to day. The preparing of
balanced. appetizing, varied meals,
the serving of them with every dish
just ready at the same time, is job
itself.
The establishment that runs most
smoothly, most pleasantly, is run by
the woman of intelligence and indus
try, who feels the dignity and i'm
portance of her profession, and en-
Joys freedom and leisure it allows.
There are few. if any, other profess
sions that allow so much latitude in
the performance of the daily routine
of work, so many hours of freedom
in the course of the day; few that
permit their employees to lie down,
or go for a walk, or stop to read a
magazine, at almost any moment
when the spirit moves. There are
few that enable a woman to feel so
strongly that she is paying her way
in the world, that she is not only self
respecting but self-supporting.
Finally, housework is probably the
only job in which the woman-em-
ployee and partner-enjoys the priv
ilege of being in love with the boss,
with no fear of another woman's
having a greater right to her lover.
To be good is also inexpensive.

His Poetry Popular

A sixteen-year-old acknowledgement
has recovered his job at Frosinone,
italy. with liberty to write verse on
the inside of women's footwear. The
boy had been discharged when his
employers learned that women's shoes
were going to the market with bits of
sentimental poetry inscribed on the
inner leather. Customers convinced
the employers that the poetry was
making the footgear more popular.

deners know to their sad experience.
fire blight can easily kill entire pear
trees and often seriously harm young
apples.
This is about the time for a heavy
dropping of young apples. pears and
other fruits. Often such dropping Is
due to insect injuries, but in case of
heavy load of fruit, may be due to an
adjustment on the part OF the tree it
self to the crop it can carry. An apple
tree in full bloom may drop 80 per cent
and more of it's flowers and young fruit
and still come through with good
crop.
Grapes appear to have set very salts

NEW GASOLINE TAX

There appears to be no doubt in

on gasoline is l cent a gallon. while
that for lubricating oil is at the rate

A LAWN TROUBLE

The following item from the press
service of the Department of Agricul-
ture Is of distinct significance to home
owners:
One OF the most troublesome dis
eases of lawns is brown patch a
fungouS disease which makes its ap-
pearance in the Summer. 1t spreads

watered Immediately after the chemical

treatment should be repeated every
time the disease appears. A mixture
of an ounce of bichloride of mercury
and ounces of calomeI. applied in the
same manner is more lasting than the
bichloride alone. Several commercial
preparations also serve the same pur-
pose Before treating, however, one
should make sure that the brown patch
is the result of disease and not due to
drying out or some other cause.
Brown patch attacks chiefly bent
grass, and to less extent the fescues.

GARDEN NOTES

Most home gardeners dig their tulips
at this season and store them away In
the cool, dry cellar until early Autumn
This is sensible procedure. because it
enables the grower TO sort over his stock
and select the larger sizes for replanting
and, incidentally, the removal of the
tulips allows space for annur - 3.ch as
dahliaS, gladioluses, salyiac anu calen-
dulas. For the Sa C Of t'-e following
crop the soil should be respaded and
refertilized before replanting Narcissus
and hyaclnths may also be dug and
stored. but generally are better left in
the ground for two or three years.
In general, it pays to cut of faded
blooms from most plants. especially
those species which produce heavy crops
of seed. II plants are allowed to pro-
duce seed, they will cease to grow
vigorously and as result practically
cease Towering. The pansy is worthy
example. If the blooms are picked
faithfully their total number is in
creased greatly.
Roses have been rather late and IT.
-"adlar this year. due in part to the
March freeze, which destroyed the early
shoots, and in part to the generally
cool Spring. In many ways long rose
season has been satisfactory. but was
little difficult for the garden clubs
to determine the most favorable exhi-
bition date
Spared from their greatest enemy
mildew. the Dorothy Perkins roses,
especially the pink form. are truly beau
tiful and aid in beautifying many a
local home. The rose breeder that gives
gardeners a mildew-free Dorothy Per-
kins rose will confer a genuine blessing
Such a rose is wholly possible as we
have already many mildew resistent
climbing roses, notably Dr. Van Fleet
silver moon, Paul's scarlet and gar
denia.
Water may not be classed as plant
food, but Withal is most important
need for plants as all their growth
processes are intimately tied up with
water. The food in the soil enters the
plant roots in solution. Hence in dry
periods the plant may actually suffer
a shortage of food as well as water.
Practically speaking. it pays to water
heavily and allow the moisture to seep
down to the roots rather than frequent
sprinklings. which do little more than
settle the dust.
Asparagus slugs have been especially
prevalent this year, eating not only the
fine foliage but also all the green epider-
mis- off the main stalks. busting in
early morning with a half-and half
mixture of arsenate of lead and hy-
drafted lime is about the most effective
control.

STEADY BUSINESS ACTIVITY
AT CURRENT LEVELS REPORTED

Agricultural products were only slightly
lower. but agricultural prices were
weak.
In Canada the Department of Agri-
culture has modified the embargo on
imports of garden produce from Cali
fornia, Oregon, Nevada and Arizona.
Fruits and vegetables may now be i'm
ported If shipments are accompanied by
certificate signed by an official Of the
Department of Agriculture Of the State
concerned that the produce was grown
outside of infected areas.
Trade improvement Is evident in
many areas in China, the review said.
while a few centers continued to strug-
gle with multiplicity of adverse fac
tors. All railways with the exception
of certain lines in Manchuria. are oper-
ating on fairly uniform schedules. How
ever many lines are suffering from lack
of funds for needed repairs to road
beds and rolling stock, and for neces-
sary additional equipment.
Business conditions in France con-
signs of improvement are insufficient to
constitute evidence of q general bet
terment and are largely Offset by un-
favorable factors. The total number of
registered unemployed is decreasing,
but there has been no indication of a
corresponding increase in industrial and
commercial activity as whole. The
foreign trade balance and railway re-
ceipts are becoming increasingly unfa-
vorable. A further recession in business
conditions in general is apparently ex-
pected. the department said
