Maxwell was hurried into trial
without his six court-appointed
attorneys having sufficient time
to prepare defense.
The high court said Monday in
remanding the death sentence back
to Hampstead circuit court for a
new trial, that a postponement of
the trial should have been granted
in the first place.
In the opinion written by Chief
Justice Smith. it was revealed that
the court-appointed attorneys did
not have any knowledge of their
representing Maxwell until the
Saturday noon before the trial op-
ened Monday.
During the trial it appeared that
the lawyers were afraid to de-
fend the Negro and made a poor
effort in seeking postponement.

domestic architecture across the country and
tyrannically rules family life.
1t should be obvious that in America today
such pattern of home life is absurd and i'm
possible Our way of life has changed sharply
even from that of the preceding generation.
Wives are likely to have other interests be-
sides management of the home. The home
itself is smaller; rooms must serve more than
one purpose And most important of all,
practically all of us must manage our homes
with part-time help or no help at all.
WIS Woman's Work"
YET all over the country we build and fur
nish our homes, and live in them, as though
there were retinues of servants to do the work.
We play at being lord and lady of the manor
even though we must double as cook,
butler, waitress and scullery maid.
Here is problem that many American
husbands, safe in their 4O-hour-a-week jobs,
fail completely to recognize. From childhood,
men are taught to ignore the problems and
technioues of housework, to be contemptuous
of it as "woman's work." 1t would be good
thing if the husband devoted little time to
studying the working conditions in his home
with the same care and intelligence that the
efficiency expert applies in modern office or
factory.
Any man who accepts this challenge is
bound to come up with new understand
Evening star., 1950-11-26

ing of his wife's problems and perhaps some
concrete ideas on what to do about it.
He will probably see that the Dear Old
Dream of gracious living" has set up an i'm
possible standard for the woman of the house.
She is expected to keep home that will be
the picture of neat cleanliness, and at the
same time she must plan furnish and deco
rate it in accordance with the ideals of
vanished age, the needs of her husband and
children. Hence the pressures that make
scolds out of 50 many women who are con-
stantly trying to reconcile such contradic-
tions as polished hardwood floors and chill
dren's muddy feet.
The entire fiction of gracious living is
cruel charade we should have discarded long
suited to the world of today, for new kind
of home and new way of living in it.
We believe that the American home. if
these new concepts are accepted, will be
much simpler place to live in. Its arrange
ment will be determined by the family's
needs and living in it will be based on
an informal design improvised to fit
those needs.
There is already some evidence that
new, more informal way of living is, in fact,
growing up: casual clothes invade many
precincts once sacred to formal attire; the
relaxed cocktail party has become a more
popular way of entertaining friends than the
stiff tea party.
The truth is that the average woman does

fresh concepts of the efficient arrangement of
living areas. Industry has produced wealth
of appliances and cleaning tools that are i'm
portant work-savers. New materials and sur
faces that demand much less maintenance are
available for floors, walls and furniture.
But most important of all is the de-
velopment of an entirely new attitude ON
the part of the family itself - for it should
be clear that we consider the traditional
standard of the stilted ''Dream Home"
completely and foolishly unrealistic for
our times.
Much more remains to be done in research,
design and manufacture But, in all fairness.
we must realize that it will not be until home
makers show definite indications of adopting
new ideal for their homes that the producers
and distributors can be expected to meet
such demands
z. Labor Sharing
Wives must come to realize that good
home is no longer a one woman operation.
Unless she wants to remain 79-hour -a-week
drudge. the American housewife will have to
have the participation of her whole family
in the planning and running of the home
We know family where the loss of a maid
was turned into such good source of creative
effort in the home that the mother decided
against hiring another. The IL year old
daughter took special delight in helping with

Quette prescribe. She cuts corners and makes
compromises in order to get her work DONE
but she does 50 as if it were secret vice. She
apologies for the cooking pot brought to the
table to double as serving dish. She doesn't
dare entertain indoors with the same casual
ness she would find proper at an outdoor
barbecue
The kitchen is the one place where the fact
that the American woman does her own
housework has been honestly faced Here the
combined genius of architects, designers,
home economists and manufacturers has
dramatically lightened woman's work The
problem now is to extend this to the entire
house and the entire family And this involves
action on two fronts - labor saving and
labor sharing.
1. Labor Savias
While some housework is unavoidable. it
need not be old-fashioned drudgery. Indus
try and many universities have made this
hitherto "unskilled labor" the subject of sci
entifc study.
We have found that Purdue, Cornell, YER
mont and many other institutions are attack
ing the drudgery of housework in scientist

as a small industry, with every room work
shop and every housewife a production
engineer.
