'i ' Those Iova women who suggested that a working code be fixed up for housewives,, so that the lady of the family could get some sort of a break in the matter of hours and pay, seem to have started something which might give General John- .son and the NRA crowd the toughest problem they have1 yet had to tackle; ' " ' , Fixing up a code for the coal industry may seem difficult; ironing1 out the complexities of the oil trade may look hard ; arranging things for steel and auto manufacturers may appear perplexing but wait until you try to put the housb- vife's, daily round into-a. formal code, before you say "you Lave tried .something tough ! 1 What do. these Iowa ladies suggest? A"day" that begins at 7 in the morning and runs until 7:30 p. m., with four hours off in the afternoon, ah allowance of $14 a, week for housekeeping money, and no work on Sundays; and while that seems fair enough, no one who has eyer watched a busy housewife in actiort will suppose that putting it into practice could be easy. : ' . ' " ' ' ' ' ' 1 " Many a man has said contemptuously that the trouble with Wives is that they don't plan their work properly' they don't use "system" in their daily round.' 'He has paid this, .that is, until some family emergency has forced him to stay ' home for a 'day1 or two and do mother's work himself. ; At the end of that time he is invariably more than ready to go back to his own job, and he has no more to say about planning and domestic systems. He has learned that if there is one job cn earth that ref uses to become cut and dried and formulated it is the housewife's. H1 How are you going to formulate a code which allows for euch eVery-day mishaps as Junior's getting ashes from the fireplace all over the living room rug, or for the harassing calls of unwelcome house-to-house canvassers who break in to the routine and compel "overtime"' work, or for the added toil which comes when the neighbor's puppy gets hold of the clothes line and soils a whole string' of iicwiy-wash,e.ft clothes? " '.!- ! . . These are part and parcel of the house-wife's day, and they' help to show what a job fixing up a codewould be. . The housewife rimy have it easier today than was the case a generation ago but she still has a conglomeration of tasks that would have the average man' talking to himself inside of 48 hours.

NoMiler Could Beat Jones 50 Yards, Belief ITHACA W) No man living could over have beaten John Paul Jones by 60 yards in a mile race, in the opinion of Coach F, Moakley of Cor nell. Moakley's statement was prompted by calculations that Jack Lovelock of New Zealand and Oxford on a basis of his mile In 4:07.6 compared with the Cornell flier's best time of :14.4, would have trimmed Jones by that maigln. There nover was a man living who could beat John Paul Jones by 50 yards," Moakley said. "I do not say Jones was the better runner, for, in my opinion, Lovelock Is the great est mllcr that ever stepped Into a pair or spiked shoes. But Lovelock had the benefit of Intensive compe- J tition when he was at the peak of his fqrm. Another thing fovorablo to Lovelock's performance was that he had a pacemaker who carried him along at a fast rate of speed for tho first part of the race. Trained But Little That was never done In Jones' day. Jones always stayed with the pack until the final lap. In winning tho mile In the intercollcsiates in 1913, he loft Norman Tober 13 yards behind to go on and break tho world's record." Moakloy also recalled that Love lock had six weeks to train. Jones, on the other hand, always regarded track as a secondary to his, engineer ing studies. "Jones never raced for record, but always to win," Moak ley Bald. i - . Much The Same Style i, .; t The. , Cornell mentor also retailed i statement he made when Jones Was at thO helirht nf his form ti,t he could beat any man living for any dlstanco from tho half-mile up to 10 miles. Jones unquestionably had the greatest record) of any American dis tance runner. Ho won tho milo and half-mllo Intercollegiate titles In record-breaking times In 1013. was sec ond In tho half-mile ond tied for first lh tho mile in 1012, and. won tho slx-inllc cross country Intercolle giate title three years In succession." Jones and Lovelock," said Moak ley, "had. strides much tho same, al though Lovelock carries his arms higher. Both were of the smooth typo and made It look easy. I would like to. have soen Jones meet a man as good as Lovelock when he was In his prime U would havo been some race." SAFETY CAIt I.Ol DSI'F.AKKIt AIDS TIl.U'l'lC CONTItOI, WICHITA, Kan.

La Grande's Part In Campaign (Continued Prom Page One) sign the president's agreement and to meet the hours and wages estab lished In that ogrcement. This agreement is sometimes referred to as the blanket code. The success of N. R. A. therefore calls for the co-operation of EVERY EMPLOYER. ' It is to the employers self-Interest to do this. Why? -Because more peoplo working, with bigger payrolls, will 'increase the mnrket for his goods. Every dollar spent by on employer now. fpr Increased payroll will return many ffld as business flows from a consuming public, once more able to buy to supply its unfilled needs. So EVERY EMPLOYER SHOULD SIGN THE PRESIDENT'S AGREE MENT AT; ONCE. I The Consumer's Responsibility Every individual, man and woman, who buys anything, owes it to himself and his community and to tho nation, to buy only from those employers who have taken tho Increased burden of increasing payrolls to bring back prosperity. This is to the self-interest of the consumer because no citizen can fall to share in this added! prosperity. It will reflect itself In increased values for everythihg he owns. It will make his present position more secure by reversing the process oi. deflation. SO EVER CONSUMER SHOULD SIGN THE CONSUMER'S PLEDGE, which commits him to do his part in this great national economic ex periment. ' The duty of every citizen of La Grande Is therefore plain. The Presi dent has said: "On the basis of this simple principle of everybody doing things to gether, we arc starting out on this nation-wide attack on unemployment. It wjll succeed II our people understand It in the big industries, in 'tiro little shops, In the great cities and In the small villages. There Is nothing complicated about it and there is nothing particularly new In the principle. It goes back to the basic icta of society and of the nation itself that people acting in a group can accomplish things which no individual acting alone could even hope to bring about." ' La Grande must do its part in this great plan. It has never failed when the nation called and it will not fail now. R. Z. BAXTER, Chairman, N. R. A. Committee Committee of 32 Is ! !
