Batchelor Working Day For Mrs. Average Housewife The Story of a Wife’s Triumph Over Jealousy 4 N i New York, Sept. 16.—Long be- ufinar it R (s Tnsiods ot ot s a tree for the summer, Or' tuning his life to a dance melody, house- wives were staging a marathon. Somebody remarked that man worked from the time the alarm went off in the morning until the factory whistles blew at night, but that woman never asked for time out. But the marathon is ended now. Women aren’t trying to see how long they can work. They've found a better scheme. ~Now they are budgeting their time, exactly as they budget their household allowances. And if the hours won't stretch, they cross a task from the list. Mrs. Marguerite B. Benson, ex- ecutive of the Home-Making Center in New York city, of the New York State Federation of Women's Clubs, has discovered that nine hours a day will complete any woman's work in the home—if she budgets x i - : k . her time. ‘ j i o Sixty-three hours is the weekly amount of time that American wo- men are giving to their homes. And they are accomplishing much more S st ) ! than the women of other countries Eel p where the time count goes on and 3 on and on. Foreign Housewives Work Longer Hours Begistered U. B.

They lived in California, and year after year they hitched a trailer to the famiiy car and went to a particular canyon in the desert where a stream flowed between basalt rocks and a few palms grew. There they made camp and set up their Christmas tree with can- dles and trimmings in the still air. They hung their stockings on the sage brush and sang carols as the warm dawn came over mountains on Christmas morning. It seemed like a good deal of an |undertaking to transport four chil- dren to the desert for a whole week | but, as their mother explains, it was no trouble at all. It took just an hour to get ready. which a woman can possibly afford should be placed in her home. Dish washers, manglers, electric sweep- ers . . . all of these cut down the budget and give greater time for relaxation. “A woman is the forewoman of her own particular home factory,” Mrs. Benson argues. “Perfect coop- cration with her ‘staff, of children, means less work and more leisure all around.” Some of the important facts for| the homemaker to keep in mind in budgeting her time are given brief- ly by Mrs. Benson: Allow one-hour divisions of time for flexibility. ¢ Dishes may be washed once a day instead of three times a day if ad- visable in the individtal household.

On the other hand, among the underweight the tuberculosis death rate is 202 per cent of the normal.
