FRIDAY, OCTOBER 10, 1919 AGAINST WAGES FOR WIVES , Gathering of Women R dicule the Idea, Labeling It a? "Commercializing the Home." Wages for wives were turned down by an audience largely of women here , the other night after a debate on Whether htlShmnl* ich?iil?l nu ....o to pay such wagos, says the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin. (Uie speaker drew a dismal picture of the future of romance with wives working for wages. "Imagine a scene like this." tie said: "Honey, do you love me?" "Of course I love you." i "Then will you marry me?" "Well, inayhe. How much do you pay?" "Suppose the wives were to Join the soviet of waiters up sind charge triage wages for waiting up nights for husbands." he said. "Imagine a wife going Into society and being labeled a $ 1 *> a-week wife. A woman cmii take a last-year hat and make it look like new. I*tit when she ? signed a contract for SI* a we-k there would he no hiding it from the neigh- V< bors." Another s[?enker pleaded that "woman shall not he brought down from tier pedestal as a queen ami made a mere tl employee of man." Iu depleting the future of romance under the wage system lie said the marriage eer tin ny l| would have to be revised to read : I "With this ring I hire thee, and will pay thee $15 n week by the aid of the world, the flesh and the devil." Notices like the following he predicted would he published : M "Married?John Brown and Mary Smith, by Itev. Uussell II. Con well. They will live In l.ogan and the wife's wages will he $15 a week." Scent's like the following In court were forecast: B "Judge, he Id red me for $30 a week h' find he Is miw tni> -> my pay. I'm going to get a new boss." h< LOOKING AHEAD A FEW YEARS J1, Remarks That Will Be Merely Ordinary When the Blimp Has Been () Finally Perfected. n Augustus Tolllver. the soap king, strode wratlifnlly out of his stateroom ^ 11 a hoard the hlitnp anil seized the arm 11 of the porter. "Idiot!" he roared, "why didn't you pive me a call this morning? I told j P you I had to he in Loudon for a di- .

The soap king pulled out a wateh. ' w "Kleven thirty," he grunted dls- v gustedlv. "Where are we now?" . p "Jest passed over St. Louis, hoss; c we'll he hack In N'Yawk at 1" o "< di! well," snid Tolliver. "I ran f, attend that 12:30 meeting of the soap s powder people and catch the 1:30 n Mlmp for London." v, VETERANS ARE NOT ENVIOUS 'J ' f; Soldiers Whc Took Part in the Civil War Proud of the Youngsters of Today.

"So we took the j n picture and showed It to an old man n who Is a very familiar figure in our i v streets on account of li s faded army j n nnlforin. lie looked at the picture and i a then he chuckled : j n " 'Why, bless your soul I don't feel that way,' he told us.

So now It's my chance to honor the yonng fellers. I'm glad the tables are turned for a little while, and I bet most of the other old comrades are. too.'" Conquered Desert Sand. The British adopted a giant "snowshoe" to conquer the sands of the Egyptian desert, according to MaJ. John Bain of the British army, who served In the near Knstv The scheme, which was based on the same theory that caused the Indian to adopt the snow-shoe, was discovered while the army was marching to Palestine. The flne sands Impeded both the Infantry and horses, so that a day's march never resulted In much more thiin a two or three mile advance. "Finally some Inventive genius tried In.vlng rather closp-mrshed rhlckro wire on the sends." said Major Bnln. "Tlio Tommies were thus given something' that didn't yield so readily as the soft sands. and the horses got n better footing. Immediately we found that L ntueh greater progress was made, and our ndvanres soon amounted to nine and ten miles a day." g I:" -\Mrl r it's a tie between INCOME re lose, we are handicapped on p we beat our FOOLISH SPI head of the game.

In any plan for national economy ritish specialist* think that th? ouseholi rather than the family lould be taken an a unit. Under ousehold consumption they include I) services rendered maintaining the ouse and its inmates, (2) the goods jnsutned or acquired by the inmates. 3) the general charges of cleaning, ecoratlng. offsetting deterioration, Ic. As a start in a saving program the ritish Commission has pointed out lat services should be valued even lore highly than goods, as each per on doing unnecessary and unproduc ve work not only consumes without roducing. but Is also depriving the mntry of possible productive power, ranslated into terms of American aving, this service idea would mean, Do not hire any one to do what you in do for yourself in spare tune un ss you And it directly profitable." Few Americans are really honest rith themselves as to the cost of ser ices. Not one family in a hundred ally knows wha' a servant a< tually osts. Most of them place the cost f her wages and fail to count in hei >od, light and other things she con umi'H. Most of them, moreover, have o way of tiguring correctly the extra raste of food or < xtra breakage 01 rear and tear due to the fact that tie servant does not have the interest f ownership for making th ugs g.? ai ir as possible. Few families know t lh<- end of the year the important Hal that the "odd jol.s" mau or dge utter ur grass trimmer has cost th< ir :>r service that migfct as wel 1 hav< feu rendered as recreation or need d outdoor exercise by the man 01 ovs of the family.
