Dorothy Dix Says
Most Women Extremely Foolish
When Handling Money Matters

Women own and spend most OF
the money In the United States.
According to recent statistics they
control 10 per cent of all private
wealth and their estimated collec-
tive holdings are above S2l0000.-
900. 900 They buy 90 per cent of
all foods, 85 per cent of all furniture,
IS per cent of all clothing and even
SO per cent of mems haberdashery,
More than 65 per cent of all saw
ings accounts are in their names.
They own 40 per cent OF all real
estate, % per cent OF all stock shares.
They inherit half the money left
in estates. They are beneficiaries
of so per cent OF all life insurance
receiving annually more than
81 900 900 900 in benefits. Such be-
ing the case. and women being the
hereditary grand exalted purse
toters of the land. would you not
think that a girls financial edu-
cation would begin i'll the cradle
and that from then on up she would
be taught all there is to know about
handling money. and especially that
it would be impressed on her infant
mind how hard it is to earn a dollar
and how easy II is to lose it?
Wouldn't you think that the man
who earns the money to support a
family would try to teach his wife
how to spend it wisely and well so
as 10 get the most out of it?
Wouldn't YOU think that the men
who work themselves to death try
ing to lay up enough money to pro-
tect their wives and children from
want, If they should die, would make
some effort to teach their wives
how to safeguard the sacred trust
they are leaving in their hands?
Wouldn't you think that women
themselves. who are smart enough
about other things. would just nat
urally have some gumption about
money?
You would. but it seldom happens
that way. The average girl is taught
nothing about how to use money.
If she belongs to a well-to-do fam
lily she charges things to papa, but
she never has more than carfare
in her purse. The first real money
she ever handles is her husband S
, salary. so it is no wonder that she
wastes it, because $3.50 month looks
as big TO her as the income Of
Henry Ford.
And if she is working girl moth
Evening star., 1941-11-12

er takes her pay envelope away from
her and spends the money for her,
and all she learns Is how TO buy
on the installment plan and be
perpetuallv in debt.
1t is Women's lack OF knowledge
of how to handle money that makes
widows the foreordamed prey of
their grating relatives and all the
human wolves who devour the weak
and defenseless Even before poor
John is tucked away in his coffin
Aunt Sally and Cousin Sue and
Amanda's ne'er-do-Well husband are
clutching with greedy hands at his
insurance and Deacon Blank is try
ing to sell the bereaved widow stock
in a phony company that he says
will pay her 40 per cent.
And because the poor. befuddled
widow. who doesn't know a Govern
ment bond from Wild Cat preferred.
is so sure her own family wouldn't
rob her and that she could trust the
deacon who prays so beautifully IN
church, she signs on the dotted line.
Life insurance companies tell us
that it takes about six years for the
majority OF widows to get rid OF
all the money their husbands left
them and be on the bread line. 1t
is the lucky ones who hold on to
their pocketbooks for 10 years.
The prevailing general ignorance
of women about business puts every
woman who has even little money
on the sucker list, and she is not
only continually harasSed by beg
ging letters importuning her for
contributions for everything from
endoWing home for disabled cats
to putting handsome young men
through college. but she has get
rlch-quick schemes put to her that
are so transparency fraudulent and
dishonest that you would think a
blind baby could see through them.
And the pity of 1t is that so many
women fall for these come-ons and
invest their all in Blue Sky or Lost
Mines or some invention that is
guaranteed to pay 100 per cent divi-
dends. but whose payoff is bank
ruptcy.
Apparently there is nothing so
foolish that women will not do with
their money. so it suggests that the
sex that carries the wealth of the
country in its handbag needs more
than anything else in the world to
be taught the use and abuse of
money.
