NHEY are agitating for 30-hour
week for housewives. Fine and
dandy. 1t is about time we did

something for mother, for If
there is an economic slave in this
country she is 1T.
There have been no union hours
nor short weeks for her. She works
overtime every day of her life with no
extra pay. She is up an hour in the
morning before father and the chill
dren, cooking breakfast for them; and
long after they are sound asleep at
night she is still hard at it washing
a shirt for father, darning the tear
in Mary's dress and patching little
Johnny's trousers.
No real vacation for her, because
when she does get away from home
for a day or two she has to take the
children along with her. Not even
halliday Saturday holiday or Sun
day off, because when the balance of
the family go on an outing mother
has to make a burnt offering of her
self on the kitchen stove preparing
extra big meals for them.
X X
r UNDOUBTEDLY the most over
worked individual on earth is the
poor woman who has to be her own
cook, nurse, seamstress, scrubber and
laundress, and who finds every day
too short in which to get through her
multitudinous chores. And it would
be a grand and glorious thing if this
poor drudge could have her burdens
lifted, her hours of labor shortened
and she be given that leisure and rest
that she only finds in the grave
But how this miracle is to be accom-
plished, goodness only knows; for in
every household there are certain
things to be done to keep a family
healthy and happy. If mother doesn't
do it In those homes in which there
is no money to hire servants, it simply
isn't done and everything goes to pot.
If mother isn't on the job, the fire
won't cook; Tommy's ears won't wash;
Sally's hair won't comb; fathers shirt
won't find itself; the groceries won't
come; the vacuum cleaner won't
sweep; the newspapers won't pick
themselves up; there will be nothing
good to eat; nobody will get of to
school or work on time; there will be
no comfortable place to rest; nobody
will be singing about "home, sweet
hcme"
Still and all, every one OF us-even
those who victimize her most-would
like for Mother to get 30-hour week,
only we don't see how it is to be
brought about since families seem to
be devised by Nature to run on "a
hour day schedule, seven days a
week. 1t cannot be done by law since
the habits and appetites of men and
children are not governed by statutes,
and not all the laws in the world
could keep Father and the boys from
getting hungry on Mothers off hours,
or stop the baby yelling his head off
for his o'clock bottle.

NOR can you imagine Mother going
j. On . strike for stdter hours.

Irises do not need cultivation,

waiting is likely to injure the roots.
A pinch of salt added to coffee

Chicken to be used for salads

Calots Popular.

NEW YORK P).-Calots, those

1t has been suggested that Mothers
lot can be ameliorated by her husband
devoting part of the more abundant
leisure his shorter hours are going to
give him to helping her with the
housework and thus giving her more
leisure. This would be a wonderful
solution of the problem if it would
only work. But it won't. Not one
husband in 10000 will stay away
from club or cronies to do the family
wash or get dinner while Mother goes
to the movies. Nor, to tell the truth.
will women be keen about having a
man under foot in the house. They
have plenty to do as it is, without
having to clean up after Husband has
messed up half dozen pots and pans
boiling an egg and making piece of
toast
So, alas, the dream of a 30-hour
week for housewives goes blooey.
Wives can't unionize and demand bet
ter pay and shorter hours because
their work is never done, and the
only adequate pay they can ever get
is the appreciation and gratitude of
their families. And they are mighty
seldom able to collect that debt.

Dorothy Dix Says
If Mothers Worked Only Thirty Hours a
Week, What Would Happen to Us?

You can't picture any woman sitting
down in the midst of her dirty dishes
in a cluttered kitchen, or leaving the
wash in the tub and walking out be-
cause her 30-hour week was up. Nor
can you think of one who would let a
sick child moan for water during a
feverish night, or refuse to get up and
cover restless one because she was
off duty. You would have to picket
every house in the world to see that
some woman wasn't doing scab labor
in it.

ON WILD TRIP IN STOLEN AUTO

ALTURAS, Calf, Oct. /. up
-Four little Indian girls (Big VOLTS
daughter, Prairie Flower, Little
Wild Rose and Happy Rose, played
hockey from school, Communicated
an automobile and left in their zig
gag trail today a posse of deputy
sheriffs, alarmed Indian braves and
a countryside in uproar.
The entire escapade was carried
out in the best Indian fashion.
The girls got tired of grade school,
and walked out. They didn't saddle
their tethered ponies, but got in
an automobile somebody left near
the school,
With Big VOLTS daughter at the
wheel, the girls set out over twist
ing mountain roads. B.W.D. had
never driven before, but neither
had the others.
The girls giggled with delight
as Gertrude careened the car 40
miles toward Big Valley.
Reports of the truants' progress
reached Altllras by telephone from
way stations. Most reports men
toned an automobile roaring errat-
ically UP and down mountainsides,
scurrying chickens and frightened
COWS and pigs.
The saga ended at a wooded val
ley. The girls made campfire, ate
berries, told tales and held a squaw
dance Then officers arrived.

GROUND PREPARATION
AND PLANTING

The beet tap root grows five to
six feet deep, which means there
must be no plow pan to prevent
this roots deep penetration. Also,
it means moisture must be put
down that deep in the pre-irriga-
ton. When the soil has dried out,
a good seed bed should be prepared
before listing. Treble super phos-
phate can be applied at time of
listing. Machinery is now available
to apply fertilizer, shape the beds
and plant, all in one operation.
The seed should be planted at
the rate of five to seven pounds
per acre, attempting to get a seed
every inch. Notify Jack Brem as
early as possible about the antici-
pated date of planting, as release
of seed from the warehouse must
be arranged. Fertilizer is now avail
able at the warehouse.
