that because woman has Q hus- band, she has provider. There are no figures obtainable, but we may assume safely that a large number of these 100000 women fall into one or more of the follow ing categories:
 1. Women whose husbands have
 no employment at all. e.,
 2. Women whose husbands are
 i'll.
 3. Women whose husbands have
 deserted them and do not pro-
 vide for them. ee
 4. Women whose husbands, as
 well as themselves, work for very
 small wages.
 VERY SMALL -
 GROUP, ACTUALLY
 have seen some estimates mere guesses, 1t is true, yet by com petent observers-that at least half the women outside domestic and personal service who are married and employed will be included in the first three--women with i'll, un- employed or worthless husbands.
 No one in his senses will, of course contemplate preventing such women from working. And if this estimate is true, we may eliminate half of the remaining 1,400,0 ,000 married wo- men. This leaves us 100000 to be considered.
 Now this brings us back to the fourth category above. It is equally clear that among women not in per- sonal or domestic service or whose husbands are i'll, unemployed or worthless, there will be some whose incomes are very small.
 As a matter of fact, in looking at the economic aspects of this mar ried- worker problem, we have to keep in mind the various income brackets. In the very low est income brackets employment of married women is quite common colored and white workers whose wives also work as laundresses and as servants, too, and at odd jobs.
 As we get to the higher income brackets, the number of married wo- men who are employed is quite small Among the 100000 married women not servants and whose hus- bands work, there are a very large number whose husbands earn very little-small-scale clerks, messeng- CTS, men in seasonal occupations, men in the innumerable low-wage groups. The truth is that when we eliminate these the actual number of married women employed but who are economically independent without employment is quite small. The object of all this is to determ- inc just how serious an economic problem we are facing.
 I think the facts are such that, even if a good argument can be made

M The Local TheaterS
STATE

Of to the biggest start any pie ture ever has had in Waterbury, Daughters Courageous, Warner Brothers latest hit starring John Garfield, Pricilla Lane and others of the famous -Four Daughters" cast swings into the first day of its three day hold over engagement at War ner Brothers healthfully air condi- toned State theater this afternoon.
 The same -Four Daughters" and the same four boy friends are bet- ter than ever in this grand new hit, The only additions to the notable cast is Fay Bainter who plays the part of the mother of the girls; and Donald Crisp who is seen as a prominent and respectable man who is seeking the hand of Miss Bainter.
 Of course, Garfield again steals the show with 8 brilliant perform ance that is said to surpass any, thing he has ever done; and closely following him are Priscilla Lane who is starred opposite him; Miss Bainter, Donald Crisp and Claude Rains who again appears as the father of the girls.
 You haven't really seen the hit show of the year until you've viewed Daughters Courageous" Everyone is talking about 1t and undoubtedly you've heard yourf friends praising 1t to the skies, so don't wait any longer, pay a visit to the State to- day and enjoy the best show of the year.
 Remember, you don't have to squirm in the heat if you attend the State, this modern theater is healthfully and scientifically air. conditioned which means that a cool, pleasant atmosphere prevails inside the theater at all times. Try 1t today.
 And for your further enjoyment the management presents laugh riot that will have you rolling in the aisles, 'The Cowboy Quarterback with Bert Wheeler and Marie Wil- son.
 The latest events of the day, as seen through the eyes of Paramount News, will be the only new feature of the program.

BRASS COMPA ANY PRICE LEADER
Master Alloy Costs De- crease, But Beryllium
 Copper Increases

The preliminary report of the fed- eral monopoly committee, made public today, cites the American Brass O., of Waterbury as the "price leader" in the fabrication of beryllium. officers of the Ameri- can Brass O., testified before the committee. The report states that although the price of the master alloy decreased, the price of beryl- Hum copper increased under the leadership of the American Brass.
 The citation follows:
 "A most significant factor, aside from patents, in the American be- ryllium situation is the fact that the pirce of beryllium copper prod ucts rose continually while the price of the master alloy de- creased by 50 per cent. The tes- timony showed that American Brass Co., is the price leader for these porducts, and that Riverside Metal Co, the only other fabrica- tor, followed the lead of Ameri- can Brass automatically. The price of copper played a minor role in these increases"

against employing the wives of well- paid workers on some other ground, no argument at all can be made on the economic side, because the num- bers to make this a major problem.
 But in no case can 1t be con- sidered of economic seriousness to society. There is an idea that 8 married woman at work displaces some other worker. But this is not true, unless she and her husband are earning a very large income. EARNINGS SPENT
 MAKE MORE JOBS
 The person who earns $3O or even $60 spends all of his or her income. And if he or she does, the money, as soon as received, passes out into the channels of trade and makes employment for another person.
 This is not true only when the following two conditions are observ- ed: CD That the person who col- lects income saves large part of it and CD does not invest it. This cannot be said of men and women who work for moderate wages. All of the money which flows into their hands flows out again promptly, or nearly so, and as promptly provides employment for others.
 In the case of wives and hus- bands who each earn large sums, of course an economic injury to society may be observed where CD they save heavily and (2) fail to invest. But such cases are so rare as to be quite unimportant in a nation of 130, 100000 people.
 My own conclusion on this issue is that 1t is, from the point of view of economies, tempest in teapot.

NIAGARA

Touched by the beauty of the morn Where rock and ledge are deeply worn, l see your waters tumbling down, Each gushing stream a jeweled gown. Thunder and lightning touch your swell And vanish where no tongue can tell: All is the mighty torrents voice Where breaks the waters only choice. What forms are these in vapor's fire Soon lost to sight where rainbows tire? No pantheist would leave his own Whose diadem is Natures throne. Perchance, new revelers will leap Tn wind and rain to wash their feet, AS on into the great abyss Your laughter brings an ardent kiss. And night repaints your glowing cheek. With yellow moons where lovers seek The caves and grandeur far below The pounding waters overflow.
