S. Home Bureau Statistics Show Average of 700 Exceeds Indus- ‘ trial Standard. More than 63 hours a week is the |average “working time” for 700 fazm women who kept records and reported to the Bureau of Home Economics of the United States Department of Agri- | culture. They reported an average of | 52 hours 17 minutes taken up by strict- |ly homemaking activities alone. This {1s more than the 44-hour working week which is the standard in industry, the bureau points out. In addition, these | women put in an average of 11 hours | 13 minutes a week on dairy work, care of ysmmry gafdening and other outside Some of these 700 homemakers iived in the Middle West, some in New York |State and some in’ three far Western ta The group as a whole repre- sents rather superior homemakers, those likely to cut down working time by in- | telligent methods.

Y Modernization of Industry Object | of Government Cam- paign. MONTEREY, Mexico (Special).— Teaching agriculture and cattle raising by correspondence is the latest wrinkle of the educational program of the Mexi- | can government. No charge is made | for the several courses that are offered |and the lessons are being sent to more | than 6,000 men in various parts of the country. The instruction is intended to be of the most practical nature and the language of the lessons is as simple as was possible to make it, so that it might ®e read and understood by men of little | education. | One of the primary objects sought by | the correspondence method is to in- struct farmers in the use of modern | implements and methods. The single« handled wooden plow is still almost uni- versally used throughout Mexico and it it is pulled by slow-moving oxen. A mere scratching of the soil is all the cultivation that is given the crops. The correspondence instruction also | includes fruit growing. Almost every kind of fruit known to the temperate and tropical zones can be grown in Mexico, but no attempt has ever been made to take advantage of the oppor= tunity which this industry offers. The correspondence courses are being con- ducted by the department of agricul- ture of the Mexican government. “CANNED” MUSIC OUSTS BERLIN CHURCH CHOIR —— | Phonographic Records Replacing | Regular Program in | Marien Kirche. BERLIN (#)—Phonograph records are replacing the regular church music in the Marien Kirche, in the suburb of Reineckendorf, and bid fair to put choir singers, organists and the traditional organ blower out of a job. ‘The full-toned volume of organ music is obtained by having two records played | simultancously on synchronated ma- | chines, their sound being magnified by lou'lslperctlk!rs built into the former or- =i loft. « Enthusiasts for the new system de- clare that, with this enlargement of sound, its mechanical characteristics are no longer noticeable, and experts are making records for the entire litur- gical music of the service. —— TURKS ERR IN SPELLING.
