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<

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- . Cl
rectors' meeting at ! a. m. sharp, nnd \ ^
now London Is Lord knows how many fll
thousands of miles in 01# rear."
"Ah pounded on yo' door. hoss. hut |
yo' refuses to waken." replied the
porter.
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

v i I In crowd of youngsters listening

"We wondered whether t tint wns
really the wny people were dofnic?forgetting
the old soldiers q|so w lietlier
the old soldiers were feeling as this r<
old mini in the picture seemed to feel," ; ''
said an liidiatiii man. "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. '1 want to P
listen to 'em myself.' he continued. 'I ?
want to know how they foil*lit at i "

more, 'It's just th ? wny. I *r hewn '*

and during that time one gets Just ?
little hungry for n chance to do m little "
honorln' himself. 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

lost People Fail to Consider What
Help In Home Really Coeta in tha
Long Run.
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
