It makes you wonder, sometimes, “how far the thing will go”—and if, at some future date, the woman not on the payroll of some business organ- ization will be the exception. The possibility now looms, that the flood of women into business has reached its high-water mark. This unique turn of events is suggested by a survey made by Henry D. Sayer, industrial com- missioner of New York state. Economists say that “York State” business conditions are usual- ly typical of the national situation. (1 Sayer’s report is that women gainfully employ- ed in New York state number 1,185,948, or about a ninth of the total population. It’s a big figure, but only 151,560 more women than “earned their own living” 10 years ago. The increase barely has kept pace with gain in population. On the basis of population, the per- centage of New York women gainfully: empioyed has stood still during the last decade. Surprising occupations are selected by many of the New York women. / They are employed as undertakers, teamsters, horse doctors, aeronauts, constables, architects, chemists, clergymen, dentists, lawyers, inventors I and mechanical and electrical engineers. il The list contniues at great length. . Its variety suggests thatSwwomen ‘could duplicate every busi- ness achievement by man.. It is’ all a matter of training and environment. That is natural. Some of:the wisest and most powerful rulers of history have been women — notably Elizabeth of England, Queen Victoria, ed her jewels to finance Columbus, and the inven- tor of, the silk industry—wife of Huang-Ti, Chi- nese emperor. ceptionally good thing, from most viewpoints. The goal of every woman, however, should be homemaking and motherhood... Nature generally takes care of that and makes arguments, for-and- against, superfluous. Whether the tide has turned and women arc gravitating to the home instead of business, re- mains to be’seen. It would, however, be a nat- i ural accompaniment of the present gradual re- i birth of old-fashioned home life. i i eG i i | ‘he economic independence of women is an ex- WAYWARD A wealthy New York manufacturer was re- peatedly robbed by his son.

If the ruble were at its original or par value, in foreign exchange, one of these banknotes would be worth $51,500,000. The plight of the ruble will be appreciated in Brazil, where the unit of money is the rei. When exchange is normal, 1000 reis are worth about 25 It takes hundreds of reis to pay carfare or buy a glass of beer in Bra- zil. And this is not in depreciated money. It is the regular thing. Reis, however, need not tremble in their boots, for one of them still is worth about 500 rubles. MILITARY Belgium and France sign a military alliance.

Why pay so much when he could buy the same story, printed, at half a cent a page or less? - The answer is obvious. | Wells pays the big price for “the only. specimen”—something that cannot be duplicated. The craving for possession of rare things is in- stinctive in most people.’ It is a mild outcropping of selfishness, the regulator of the individual’s system gf economics. GRANDSON Georges Frederique Gatineau, grandson of “Tiger” Clemenceau, has been looking for a job in Saxonville, Mass. He is said to have spent 1,000,000 francs in less than a year. This followed his European univers- ity education. ; ; 4 ' More recently he has been shoveling coal on ocean freighters and working in American textile mills. It is a different type of education, but sometimes more profitable. INSURANCE : . How much insurance do you carry? | Life poii- cies, held by all Americans combined, total more than $45,000,000,000. It’s about $400 for every person in the country; or $2000 for a family of five. That wouldn’t last the vidow and orphan long. The average man is about six weeks from the breadline, and his family about six months, in event of his death.
