The business of, making a living has become tho most
serious of all businesses. ' 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. '

I The time may come when the multitude must make a

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. It may require a considerable
period to educate the public to the advantage of tho sav
ing1 in time it effects. The campaign for solicitation of
