sential that according to a
grocer who bandies a largo neigh

man who comes In with her order
for the day, almost without think

order with " and a can of peas."
The popularity of canned peas
as compared with green peas is
explained by the following state
ments from "The Encyclopedia of
Pood":
Full Flavor Peas
"Green peas can be enjoyed nt

IS LATEST MOVE
ny Stephen McDonough Jr.
NEW YORK m Wives of 10 Co
lumbia university professors are en
Joying more leisure because they put
their headB together and adopted
some of industry's efficiency rules.
It all came about after thby had
concluded, "Housekeeping has not
kept pace with Industrial conditions,"
and' worked out a co-operatlvo plan
to put their work In step.
Mrs. Irvln Bussing, wife of a pro
fessor of economics at the university,
suggested the idea to President Nich
olas Murray Butler and, when It was
approved, found an Immediate recap
tion among wives of the school's Ju
nior officers.
Move Into One Building
So the 19 families moved Into. a re
modeled building near the university
and began an experiment which after
a month was reported running
smoothly.
Deciding that child care was 'the
moat wasteful of a mother's time,
they devised a plan whereby one
mother with the aid of a paid super
visor, could take care of the 25 chil
dren In the group.
One apartment In the building was
converted- into a nursery and play
room for rainy days, and on the
roof, six stories above 'the noise and
dirt of the street, they built a sunny,
airy playground surrounded by a high
climb-proof fence.
Tend Children In Turn
Each, mother takes her turn for
half a day each, week watching over
the children with the aid of i the su
pervisor. The children of pre-school
age spend from 0 to 12 o'clock each
morning and from 2 to 5 o'clock In
Jhe afternoon playing together.
The Idea 1b being extended, to In
clude providing noon lunches and, at
small additional expense, care of the
children during the evening by a
nurse.
A laundry in the basement of the
building Is being used co-operatively
by tho entire group at a considerable
saving, -' ;
Eliminate I) n plication
No effort is made to interfere with
normal family relationships, Mrs. Bus
sing declared.
"The entire .project Is merely an
effort to eliminate much of the sense
less duplication of common tasks In
the home and to enable wives and
mothers who must operate on small
budgefe to gain some leisure time
and other advantages which arc or
dinarily posslblo only In the home
which, has several servants," she said.

high schools for negroes. There are
