BY RUTH MILETT

Apparently the old device:
Feed the brute still holds good.
According to the records of a
midwestern college, girls who ma
jor in home economics stand a far
better chance of marrying h a n
girls who major in any tn e r
course.
The girl who spends her four
years in college learning how to
make biscuits and how to tell a
good cut of meat from a poor one
has almost twice as good a chance
of marrying as the girl who spends
four years learning history.
Ten years out of college 60 per
cent of the home economicmajors
are married-but only 80 per cen,
OF the history majors have kept a
date at the altar.
IF YOU COULD
ONLY COOK. 80"
Those figures ought to be q
warning to the girl who believes
that it is no longer necessary fol
a woman to be a homemaker, AM
that a man today would rather
have a wife who can talk to him
about international affairs than one
who can make make hurry home
to meals.
No matter how good her brain,
or how varied her interests, the
girl who wants to marry (and al
most all girls do) needs to know
how to run a house, get a good
