' Economists say that within an other' generation unemployed wives will be tho exception TatheY than the rule, and that children will be placed in gainful occupation at a much tenderer age than they are today. The new theory is that it is uneconomical and will be impossible for tho individual to produce enough for more than .one, except during limited periods such as tho early years', of child-reusing. The great number of women mar ried and unmarried and children now employed lends cred ence, to the theory. Ojir economic problem, it Is explained to us, is not that the average income is not adequate to moot' the actual noeda; of 'the family but that the average income is in adequate to meet the demand for those things outside the circle of absolute necessities.' Standards of living are ris jing faster than the standards of income.

Air Mail Costly ' While the first month of the continuous air service from New York to San Francisco shows success in operation it reveals a financial loss, which causes Postmaster Cioneral New to hiivo fe;ir lest it be not practicable to continue it. However, it will be given a further trial before a decision is reached. The planes flew a distance of J7'5,IO miles ill the 31 days-of operation 'in July. Cloudbursts, luniu does .and electrical stoi ms were encountered, yet in every instance the mail went through without great delay and with no accidents. Tho only fata! accident with destruc tion of the mail occurred in August. The worst record for time niatle in the month was far ahead of what could have been made by train. In. reckoning the valuo of a mail service the financial aspect i ot the only one to be considered, though it is a factor. It has been the policy of the postoffice department to provide service first.
