SAFE AT HOME?

the kitchen leading as the
worst with its poor stove
connections, careless usage of
kerosene and gasoline; grease,
water and bits of food on the
floor resulting in serious
falls; steam from covered
kettles causing fatal burns,
and so on we could enumer-
ate the various hazards.
There are many accidents
caused by stairways too
steep and with steps holding
odds and ends of things.
Cellar steps are usually too
dark for safety. Skidding on
scatter-rugs and on polished
floors, and slipping in bath
tubs always enter into the
picture. Accidents occur in
bedrooms where little chill
dren fall out of bed or are
smothered by too many
covers or pillows. Falling
on and over furniture in the
dark is apt to happen to old
people. There are many other
kinds we have not mentioned
that have probably taken
place in your own home. The
safest way out Of such a
situation is to eliminate the
causes by getting together
with your family and put
ting on a safety campaign
in your own house.

WHY DO WOMEN WORK?

At some time or another
during the past haf-dozen
years possibly almost every
male citizen has found him
self asking why so many
women and girls are at work
while the male unemploy-
ment rolls have mounted into
the millions. Much criticism
has accompanied the query,
the old belief that "woman's
place is in the home" still
prevailing.
Now reliable figures are
available as to why women
work, and local readers will
be interested in them. In a
group of $4,000 higher paid
women workers, with an
average income of $1,000 a
year, less than 10 percent of
the number had no depend
ents. One out Of every three
supported households ranging
from two to seven persons.
In the lower paid group, girls

averaging about $3.50 a year,
two out of every three re-
ported they were virtually
the sole support of at least
one other person than them
selves. If the surveys re-
sulting in these figures are
to be taken in a real cross
section of the millions of
women gainfully employed in
this country, then it is evil
dent that the great bulk of
our women workers get their
jobs because they have to do
so. They are the sole sup
port of themselves and
others dependent on them.
The common idea that
most women work because
they want pin money" with
which to procure more clothes
and more luxuries does not
hold up under this new sur
vey. The one prime answer
to why they work seems to
be: Because they have to-"

walton. 1t is possible, today,
for a farmer to own his farm
and still call it a farm, as it
means any land used for
agricultural purposes.
The southern farm used to
be termed a plantation and
the western farm was known
as a range. We use the word
farm" now to include these
two, as well as the tracts
which specialize in products
and are known as chicken
farms" and "fox farms.
Wherever it is and whatever
it is called, we owe a lot to
the farm, and learning a bit
more about them won't hurt
us and will be worth a bit to
the politician, whose sole aim
in life (according to the poll
tician), is to do something
for the farmer.

surest and safest place in our

think that $500 persons
persisted in accidents in the
home during the year of
1886, while traffic, the more
publicized evil, took $1,000
lives. Would we be safer to
stay in the street instead of
in the house? Our Sunday

remember the Monday morn
ing papers with their list of
auto fatalities - but what

happened to the fellow who
remained at home. Statistics
compiled by Federal relief
workers, under the supervis-
ion of the National Safety

WHAT 1T MEANS

The farmer holds a promi-
nent place in the conversation
of the nation, and yet there
are many people who do not
know how the word farm"
originated. We think of a
farm as a place where hens
lay eggs, cows are MIXED and
vegetables are grown. Yet
to farm out" anything
means to rent or lease land
for a certain period at a
specified price. One expla-
nation was that the word
appeared when a farm" was
a district of country, or Sec
ton of land, leased or farmed
out for the collection of gov
eminent revenues. Following
this came the reasoning that
a farm was any piece Of land
leased for purposes of cult

The fact that frequent

stamps of the U. S. has been
profitable during the past few
years, seems to meet with
general approval. You sell

complaining that it is an un-
necessary waste of money.
Now that it has been decided
to make some of the future

Ii one desires to be technical and
wishes to include In the national
debt all of the obligations which the
federal treasury may have to pay,
the figures have given will mount
very much higher. There are nu-
merous agencies of the government
that are empowered to borrow mon
ey on their own bonds-institutions
like the Reconstruction Finance cor
poration and the Home Owners Loan
corporation and the Commodity
Credit corporation. It seems to me
that when those agencies borrow
money, the federal government be-
comes liable in event the federal
agency is not able to pay, and the
total of those loans appears to be in
the neighborhood of $4,000, 900, 900.
Since most people regard the fed
eral government as having a con-
tingent liability, there is some
ground for including that total which
would make the grand total of the
national debt in excess of SAT, OO0,-
600, 900, and each states share would
be correspondingly higher.
What is the reason for this gigan-
tic debt? Well, anyone ought to know
that when an in
