Dear Miss Robinson:
I have never seen a subject
like this in an editorial, but I
think somebody ought to write
about it. It's about the way so
many wives regard housework.
When a man marrieS he ex-
poets to work for the new home,
and unless he is a regular
tramp he never complains about
the regular hardshipS and sacri-
fices he must face. All that,
he takes for granted as part
of marriage.
But a young wife acts as if
everything she did we're a per-
sonal favor, for which her hus-
band should be everlastingly
grateful. If he isn't, she flies
into a tantrum.
It never seems to occur to her

At first you did not over

But as time passed your in

Isn't your sense Of right and

Actions that at first shocked

Your ideals have descended

the Potomac Electric Power Company under which a reduc

that the public will continue to profit by the prosperity

that it is as much up to her to
pay her own way after mar
riage as it was before, or that
housekeeping is as much Of a
job as her office position was.
I myself have been a house
wife for 10 years, after serving
eight years in a business office
before marriage. During that
time I had plenty of chance to
study unhappy homes, and it
seemed to me that most Of it
was caused by the fact that the
wife wouldn't accept her posi-
ton as a job, but wanted to
prolong the honeymoon indefi-
nitely. So, when I married, I
went into it as I would have
gone into any other career.

A BUDGET AND A SYS-
TEMATIC PROGRAM, AS I
WOULD HAVE DONE IF I
HAD GONE INTO A NEW OF
FICE. FELT THAT HAD
NO MORE RIGHT TO PLAY
ON THE JOB OF HOUSEKEEP-
ING THAN I DID ON MY EN-
PLOYER'S TIME. IT SEEMED
TO ME THAT IF MY EN-
PLOYER'S MONEY AND TIME
WE'RE VALUABLE, MY HUS-
BANDS MUST BE MORE so.
So right at the start I cut
out all the usual time wasters.
such as gossiping over the tele-
phone, or reading magazines
and giving myself beauty treat
ments while the dishes waited.
"Work comes first" was my
motto. And even though it Of
Tended gossiping neighbors, I
stuck to it.
In less than five years we
had three babies. I've always
done all, Of my own work, with
the exception of washing and
extra help for cleaning now and
then. That seems and is a
great amount of work, but I
was able to do it because I went
at it Systematically. My hus-
band has yet to come home and
find me other than clean and
in a good humor, children clean
and happy, house tidy and a
good meal cooked. Besides this,
I have found time to have an
outside hobby-one that rested
and fed my soul-alSo time to
play with my children.
With each year I grow
healthier and happier. I can
truthfully say I have never con-
sidered myself overworked.
If housewives would drop
their self -pitying attitude and
get to work on their job, we
would have very few divorces.
IF WE HAD AS MANY HUS-
BANDS PLAYING ON THEIR
JOBS AND PUTTING AS
LITTLE INTO 1T AS THE
AVERAGE WIFE,
WHERE WOULD WE BE?

Cost of Government
Must Be Reduced

Another major problem
will be the balancing Of the
budget by cutting Federal
expenditures to the bone.
When everything possible
has been done in this direc-
tion, if there is still a deficit,
taxes must be increased to
meet the need.
And there is mother
pledge to be kept-the cost
of government must be re-
duced to the lowest figure
comparable with the main
tenance of all the proper
functions of government. We
haye been drifting toward
a paternalistic concept of
government for years, and
we are paying the penalty in
the present crisis. If, as is
claimed, the new regime can
make reduction of as much
as three-quarters of a billion
a year in the cost of govern
ment it will deserve we'll of
the nation.
Mr.. Roosevelt is to be
given the power to act; he
has the courage to act, and
he has a plan. Unless the
party he leads degenerates
into an irresponsible mob un-
worthy of public confidence
he will have the support of
Congress.

And the debts? We are not
going to restore prosperity
by transferring the debts
from Europe to our own
people on the formula of Ne
vile Chamberlain, who can
see nothing to negotiate but
that one thing. He may have
been deceived as to Ameri-
can sentiment by attaching
too much Importance to the
Foreign Legion here, which
he smugly described as the
only "enlightened opinion.
In 1776 his forbears thought
the "only enlightened opin-
ion" was that of the Tories.
Viscount Snowden knows
that Chamberlain made a
serious blunder.
There are features to the
Snowden article attempting
to smooth things over to
which we cannot subscribe,
some that seem absurd, but
on the main point he has rem
dered a service to England
by admitting that England
must make trade, or other,
concessions to us to cover
our possible loss on the
debts. But Snowden is not
of the government in Lon
don now.
One thing we knoW-we
are not going to balance the
budget and put our indus
tries in the way of profiting
by the lowering of the bar
riers against trade merely by
adding eleven billion dol
lars we do not owe to the
burdens of our people. This
may not seem to Mr.. Cham
berlain enlightened opin-
ion"; it is common horse
sense. And that sometimes
has been known to serve.

Confidence Is
Necessary

Long ago it became evident
that there will have to be a
special session to meet the
imperative demands Of the
times. It is said that this
extra session may be called
very soon after Mr.. Roose-
velt's Inauguration. 1t will
easily be one of the most i'm
portant sessions in the ma
tion's history.
There are certain things
that will have to be done.
One is that the process of re-
pealing the Fig h t e e n It h
Amendment must be started
at once. Another is that the
manufacture and sale Of beer
must be legalized at once.
This alone is expected to
yield a revenue Of $l5O,OOO,-
900. It will put a great army
Of men at work, not only in
the manufacture of beer but
in making Of crates, bottles,
barrels and many other
things.
This will be done; for if it
is not done, in view Of the
positive pledge of the party
in power, faith in the integ-
rity of that party's promise
will fail from the beginning,
And confidence is necessary
above all things else.
The Washington times., 1933-02-09
WISE WORDS

Coquettes make a merit Of
being jealous of their lovers, to
conceal their being envious OF
other women.
We easily pardon in our
friends those faults which do
not concern ourselves.
A man does not please long
when he has only one species
Of wit.
The quality least met with In
gallantry is love.
The Washington times., 1933-02-09

The "lame duck" Congress
is drawing to an end with
nothing much accomplished,
and there is nothing remark
able about that. Conditions
for i m port ant legislation
have been bad for two years.
No one party is in control of
the Senate; the Democrats
have a bare majority in the
House; and the Republicans
have the veto power in the
presidency. That condition
does not make for legislation
on any subject of a contro-
versial nature having any
political significance.
In less than a month these
conditions will change. One
party will have a safe ma
jority in the Senate, great
majority in the House and
in the Presidency a man in
harmony with the majorities
in both branches of Congress.
There will be a responsible
leadership with power to
back it's responsibility. Then
it will be up to the party in
power. Just now no party
is in power.

MARRY-GO-ROUND
BY Helen Rowland

So long as marriage is re-
.garded as a prison, says Reno
Ruth, why blame a "trusty'
for occasionally dreaming about
a jail-break.
A loving husband will do al
most anything reasonable to
make his wife happy; but what
she secretly wishes he would do,
is some of the rash, UNreason-
able things he used to do be-
fore they were married.
Statisticians are always check
ing up on women. Once it was.
the amount they spent for
cosmetics; then the number Of
cigarettes they smoked. Now
they claim that women drink
more coffee than ever before.
And a Cynic suggests that
probably women do that, trying
to keep awake while the men
talk about themselves.

good and excited about being

The average woman does not
care much, these days, what her
husbands creed, philosophy Of
life or politics may be, if he'll
just lapse into being a Human
Being, now and then.
A professor Of psychology
airily cheers all modern spin
sters, by announcing that ANY
girl can marry the man she
wants. But, what most women
want to know is how to get the
man some OTHER woman
wants.
Most of the trouble the aver
age married woman suffers from
on this earth, springs out of her
husbands determination to let
his conscience be her guide.
Many a man who smiles in
