The Visiting Housekeeper
Nearly every city has now one or
mora Visiting Housekeepers. The Vis
iting Housekeeper goes about among
Homes wnere her servics are needed
and by kindly help and instruction as-
sits the housewife with her problems.
These may range from the selection of
furniture, the cooking of food, the
care of the baby, to the canning of
meat Generally she works under the
supervision of Organized Charities or
the Y. W. C. A. She may be helpful
to all homes but especially to young
housewives' and foreign women who
are not accustomed tf our ways and
need advice and demonstration.
The Visiting Housekeeper is a social
worker and must have an altruistic
spirit. She must have knowledge in'
domestic science, household manage
ment, thrift, sanitation, sociology, why
homes are wrecked by the divorce
court and how to avoid these shoals.
She must know how and when to
wean baby, why the school child is
undernourished, what sort of recrea
tion the youth in the home needs and
how the mother should teach sex-
hygiene. In short she must lead wom
en into the gentle art of housewifery
and homekeeping. The pay for the
worjc is about the same as that of a
high school teacher.
The Smith-Lever bill .now opera-
Visiting Housekeepers and made this
tive, will increase the number of
a better opening for those with the
social instinct and housewifely training.

Pig
But o which market? Of course
it must be to a dean one, where the
room itself is kep orderly and neat,
the food handled in a sanitary way,
and where the clerks are cleanly in
in persons. Bins should be covered,
food screened from flies, fruits and
berries kept protected from cloud of
s'reet dust which will blow on them
in sitting exposed on the open street
And, by all means no cat) should
wander demurely around to perch
upon trie iooa or take a cozy nap
on the sacks of flour, and all foods
should be kept away from mouse and
rat invasion.
In buying foods, the housewife
should investigate and experiment un
til she finds brands which suit her
and not change these without reason
when she finds that most fitting to
her needs. Fancy qualities will cost
mora If a food is too high priced a
substitute of equal food value, but
with some sacrifice of flavor, will
often do.
Most dealers are willing to be fair
with patrons and will tell, if you in
quire, the conditions of fcods, if they
know them; but some dealers are dis
posed of to be tricky and will palm off
undesirable food on children or un
suspecting or good humored persons.
Such are to be avoided. The house
wife should not expect to drive unfair
bargains with her dealer. If she gets
something for nothing, he must lose
money and that is unreasonable.
The housewife should know before
hand what she wants to buy, within
reason, and not take undue time of
the clerks while she studies out her
menus and needs, sne snouia give
thoughtful courtesy to clerks and ex
pect, the same. Each day's needs
should be thought out, at one time and
not given in repeated orders. These
should be order in time but they may
be on hand when needed without ask
ing especial favors of the delivery.
The housewife has a right to expect
correct -weight and measure. If she
can pay cash, it is the best and most
economical plan, but she should at
least settle all bills promptly, once a
month, at the longest.
It is cheaper to buy some staple
goods in the bulk, and most, goods
have a seasonal time when they can
be purchased most cheaply There is a
danger in this that one will over-buy,
and it is no economy to buy because
food is cheap unless it is needed.
To buy two burichsi of radishes be
cause they are two for five cents and
to eat but one is more expensive than
to pay three or four cents for one.
The price does not always Indicate
the economy of an article. For in
stance, a piece of meat at fifty cents
a pound may be cheaper than a piece
at half the price which is two thirds
waste bone or gristle.
The housewife should visit the mar
ket in person to select perishables, j
fruits and vegetables. There is such a
difference in condition and quality
that a telephone order is apt to be
unsatisfactory. Perishables should be
bought in small quality.

Do not be ashamed to ask price before

A pitiful phase of child labor and
one which is hardest to regulate is
the industrial work done by children
at home after school and at night
assemblying jewelry, ' stringing beads,
finishing lace and underwear, carding
snaps and buttons. At this the
children earn less than five cents an
hour and at a cost of eye-strain, ir
regular attendance at school, poor
quality of school work, over-work, and
eventually breakdown. This social
waste not to mention mercy for the
individual child is a matter for the
fathers and mothers of the land to
eliminate.

While this estimate of the nation- I largely to the present economic con
al situation appears to be accurate, it( dition. "It is a fact,' he' said, "notice-
ble in Oregon City as well as through
out the state, that there are fewer
boys in the schools than there were
some years ago. Notwithstanding
this .fact the attendance in the high
schools and colleges is maintaining
its steadily increasing average, but
the proportion of girls is greater. This
can be ascribed to twe economic
causes. In the first place, the past
year or bo has noticed a marked In
crease in financial stress. Boys and
young men are welcoming the oppor
tunity to turn their time to lucrative
pursuits. This has been as much for
the reason that they are aiding in the
support ol their families as that they
have been desirous of making money
for themselves.
"The other cause, and probably the
most important, is that during the
war period, America was riding upon
an economic boom. Money w a &
plentiful. The people had plenty to
spend. It is a historical fact that
where times are easy and people can
afford luxuries of a more or- less
frivolous nature, they give less
thought to learning. It is tihe times
that require hard work that breed
development.
"One of the greatest periods in our
national development came after the
3 ' civil war when the country was strug-
trial growth was marked because it
was occasioned by real work. The
idea that education relieves one from
the burden of labor is a mistaken con
ception. Education should fit one to
carry increased burdens with greater
ease.
"The president's statement that the
young people of the nation are not
living up to the full estimate of an ed
ucation's worth is probably based up
on similar observation," continued Mr.
Kirk. "Periods of 'easy limes," brin
with them a sort of mental laxity, but
if predictions that the World War
will bo followed by a period similar
to the one after the civil war, are
true, much that is undersirable in the
ttatus of education at present will be
overcome."

recess of more than a week.
That the proposal to stimulate in
dustry throughout the country as a so
lution to the employment question
will not afford permanent relief any
more than legislation will change the
action of economic laws, is the opin'
ion voiced by James Shannon, mayor
of Oregon City.
The employment conference, which
is at present in session at the nation
al capitol, has pointed cut that the
problem of furnishing jobs for the
jobless, is one which should rest up
on the shoulders of the individual
communities and puts the burden of
the solution 4ip to the local adminis
trations, saying that the lead in any
endeavors of this line should be tak
en by chief executive of each muni
cipality.
As far as Oregon City is concerned,
said Mr. Shannon in discussing the
situation, there is not a crying need
that should call for any consternation
It is true that there are a number of
men out of work but a good many of
these are transients and others are
those who are habitually in the cus
tom of domg part-time work.
Base Adjustment, Need
Industry" said Mr. Shannon, "can
not be forced by superficial means
to employ more men. If more men
are to be put on, commercial condi
tions will first have to justify this
ncrease. This Is a condition over
which we locally have no control.
The plants in Oregon City are at
present employing men to the full
extent of their needs. As soon as the
river rises and the paper mills start
grinding pulp, there will probably be
employment for over 500 more men
here. At present the woolen mills
are operating to capacity." -
x ne major pointed out mat one
thing that works a hardship this year
is the fact that the river is late in
rising. Last year at this time the
grinding rooms were in full operation.
How soon it will be before they are
started depends largely unon thA
weather conditions, for the reason that !
they cannot be operated until there
is sufficient water in the river.
Municipal Work Not Possible
As far as the possibility of institut
ing more municipal work in order tc
provide employment is concerned.
the mayor is dubious. The improve
ment program; for the city Is prac
tically completed this year, and what
little street work or building could
be done would ' only furnish employ
ment for a very few. Any civic con
struction work which would solve the
problem would hare to be instituted
upon a larger scale than is .financially
-possibly at present. T'le highway jrr-
furnish some work this winter, as
construction on the new Willamette
bridge is to be carried on in full
force and when it is at its height
will probably necessitate a good
sized crew, calling for considerable
unskilled labor.
Conditions, upon the whole, saia the
mayor, are good in this part of the
state when compared with the east
and middle west. Oregon City is not
suffering from an acute job shortage.
With the increased payrolls in the
mills this winter, the local problem
will approximate solution. Much of
the unemployment, he stated, is due
to the fact that the transients do
not want to work. Many of those who
cause the, number of unemployed to
climb, will1 not hold a job over two or
three days, and are not willing to
take ordinary wages for unskilled la
bor. Problem - Said . National
The problem facing the nation in
the employment of its people while it
is felt to be one of the largest attend
ant upon modern internal diplomacy,
is not one which can be legislated
through. While much can be accom
plished through intelligent dealing
with the situation, especially in the
larger labor marts. Mayor Shannon
feels that a readjustment of the en
tire industrial situation will have to .
be brought about nationally before
loca authorities are enabled to cope
with the situation competently. He
bases this belief upon the contention
that industry can employ more men .
only as the call comes for increased
production, and in proportion as
American producers can meet the
competition of foreign manufacturers
and find an increased market for
their products.
