A Good System
According to the U. S. Labor Depart
ment, the average Russian living in
.Moscow .must work 3.5 times longer
than a worker in New York City to
earn a simple meat and potatoes meal.
He must work up to IT times as
long as the New Yorker to buy life’s
basic necessities. There is nothing new
about these figures. They have been
published time and again in one form ^5* * view On
or another and indicate anything but — —
utopia in a nation where government is
the caretaker of the people. And, still
we hear complaints about the failure
of capitalism in the United States.
Even in the depths of the great de-
’ pression of the thirties, America was
more prosperous than other nations in
prosperity. In those nations where
private enterprise has been shackled
or destroyed, the
woman work hardest and obtain the
least in return. It is to the credit of
private enterprise that the average
person in the United States accepts as
commonplace those things possessed
only by the well-to-do of other lands.
Capitalism is a good system. We
should not sell it short.

ddABANTFID

low To Succeed
In recent years the growth of the
federal bureaucracy has led many busi
ness men to seek success .through the
operations, aids and favors of the gov
ernment.
Readers of The Chronicle, especially
young men and women, should not be
misled in this respect. They should
realize that worthwhile success in life
is achieved almost exclusively through
personal endeavor.
After all is said and done, the vast
majority of business successes owe
their growth to one or more rare indi
viduals who contributes not only phy
sical effort but superior intelligence
and the wisdom which arifes from an in
tangible thing we call “character.”
By ROGER W. BABSON
BABSON PARK, Mass., January 26. A
recent study by the National Industrial Con
ference Board takes a realistic look at the
role of the working wife in American today,
average man and The survey brings to light many questions
that should be of interest to families at all
social levels . . . and suggests many answers
that may not jibe with those of women con
templating taking jobs to “double” the in
come their husbands are making.
THE WORKING MOTHER
WITH CHILDREN
With prices so high and still climbing,
many young or middle-aged housewives with
children are already holding down regular
jobs outside the home for economic reasons.
But their experience has not always been as
helpful as they expected it would be, for rea
sons that may not have occurred to mothers
currently thinking'of going out to work. Scan
ning some statistics on this situation, we find
that often the salary a mother had thought
she would add to her husband’s “take” has
somehow evaporated to an alarming degree
before it got into her market basket.
For instance, a woman who takes a job
paying $15,000 a year to add to her husband’s
$20,000 may well find that she ends up contri
buting only about $3,300 to the family till.
Where does this sizable difference disappear
to? Well, if she has two children and is not
blessed with a mother or mother-in-law will

Life And You ,
Every person should ask jtlimself,
from time to time, where he is headed
and exactly what he’s doing with his
life.
If the human race was put on the
earth for a purpose, every citizen has
an obligation to contribute something
as he travels the road of life.
In small towns, large towns, and in
rural areas, there are many who spend
most of their time seeking pleasure,
self-indulgence and self-eptertainment.
Too often, money and a good time are
the only goals in their livtes. ' •
If you can show nothing for your
life, if you have dedicated it to nothing
in particular, and if you have not sin
cerely tried to leave just a little mark
on your. community, to create some
good to help your fellow-men in some
small way, we suspect life hereafter will
be empty.
The happiest people we have known,
and the richest, are those who have
done something for their fellow-men,
and who have stood for something in
their community.
bably have to lay out as much as $5,000 a
year for a full-time housekeeper or nurse.
Then there are such items as carfare or the
upkeep of another auto, extra* clothing, lunch
es, ai\d taxes. And, usually not considered in
advance, the mother will have no time to
hunt for retail bargains and ferret out short
cuts that will hold housekeeping costs down.
CONDITIONS, OF COURSE,
VARY WIDELY
While this means that many a working
mother will be surprised by how slight her
addition is to the household “kitty”, there
are many situations in which it is eminently
worthwhile for a wife to hold a job, whether
full-time or part-time. When children are old
er and at school or college, there are more
incentives for a woman to go outside the
home and make use of her talents. In, the
first place, the cost of household help at this
particular time can be greatly reduced and
perhaps entirely eliminated. Hence more of
the extra salary can he directed toward the
education of the children, time-saving ap
pliances, and boosting the family’s standard
of living generally.
Despite the fact that many young women
believe their place is in the home, taking care
of the children and of the house, there are a
surprising number of women who want totake
economic advantage of their education and

Havoc
The meaning of “havoc” has been toned
down over the centuries. Now it means general
destruction, but in medieval England it had a
specific and dreadful meaning.
“Havoc” was derived, from Old French “ha-
vot,” meaning plunder. It entered English as
“havocke,” which was shortened to “havock,”
later ”ravoc.”
After an army emerged victorious in bat*
tie, the commander gave the order, “Havoc!”
That was a signal for the soldiers to massacre
without quarter.
Shakespeare , used the. word in its oripffeil
meaning in “Julius Caesar”: Cry ‘havoc’ and
let slip (unleash.) the dogs of war. ^
