Dr. Benjamin II. An drews of Columbia noes so fur as to say In the Woman's Home Com- panion that the problem of tho home has become of such Impor tance that Congress should, be asked to finance a comprehensive study of the status of the worker fn .the home, as the British 'gov ernment has already done. He ha.i counted up the various home tasks and found that they number at least one thousand. For the maid-of-aUVwork he lays down the following proposed standards: "The maximum length of the working time of the worker living In a home should not ex ceed fifty-four hours a week, and of the worker living out, forty olKht hours. Overtime In any week should be paid for at an hourly rate. One whole day of free time, beginning not Inter than 10 a. m. and extending through the eve ning, or two half days a week. beginning not later than 2 p. m. weekdays and 3 p. m. Sundays, should bo allowed each employee." . Hours on and off are by no means the whole story. The hired girl should have a week's vaca tion with pay. Hhe should have a room of her own. There should be no social stigma on her and above all she ahould be treated with courtesy and respect. j Finally, the experts declare that the servant problem Is almost equally a mistress problem. That better employers mean better em ployees Is as true In the home as In tho office or the factory. E CARE IS BEST Medical opinion gathered from nil pnrts of 'ho United States la now agreed In a complete contra diction of the old tradition that the- cure of tuberculosis demands dry nlr or mountain air. The gov ernment honlth servhio nays In a formal statement In the Woman's Homo Companion: "We no longer bellovo the cli mate will cure tuberculosis. The most Important thing is good medical care, usually In a sani tarium, no matter what the cli mate Is. Skillful doctors and nurses and good sanitariums enn be found In nlmost every state." It stated that much harm has been done by the belief In chnnge of climate. What the tubercular person needs Is rest, not travel. To mniy the greatest terror of the discovery that they have a touch of the disease is tne tnougnt they may have to go away from homo. As a result they ore opt to conceal their symptoms and de lay too long before beginning treatment. Those who do go to some distant resort are often sub jected to expense or worry whlch hlndora the cure. Tho government statement adds: "The home climate, even If It Is the worst climate in the world, Is best If proper medical and nurs ing care la available there but lacking elsewhere. There are un usual cases, one In a hundred, perhnps, when a change of cll mato is actually needed, most fre quently to escape hot weather. A1 radical change In the habits of the Individual Is often neces sary. PURSUIT OF BEAUTY BIG EXPENSE ITEM WASHINGTON The Amer ican huslness woman of today Is a very different person from the working girl of 90 years ago. Answers to a questionnaire sent to 6.024 business women by the National Federation of Business nnd 1'rofesslonnl Women's clubs reveal that nt least two-thirds of them ore regular patrons of benu ty parlors, that about one-third of them swim and one-hnlf enjoy housekeeping In thUr own apurt- ments. lermanont waves were found more populnr with the business women thnn mnrcels, S.91'3 or tne 0,a4 preferring the first method of rolffure nnd 1.4(0 the inner. Ilased on th returns from the questionnaire It Is estimated that the 60.000 business and profes sional women enrolled In the or ganisation are spending about ISOO.000 annunlly on cosmet'es and beauty treatments. About J per cent of them drive their own cars, about one-tenth ride horseback and one-sixth play tennis. It is estimated that about one- fourth of the 60.000 are married and about one-half of those mar ried havej children. MRS.

In not one American city hav ing over 60,000 population hither to reported are enough children being bom to maintain even a stationary population. In most of the .cities there are only two thirds to three-fourths of the number of children required to prevent 'ft -decline in the normal population increase. Taking the country ns ft whole, the population is still increasing about 1 per cent a year. Statis ticians estimate, however, that within forty years the population at something lot thnn 170.000.000. Then there may be a slight de crease, t "The Importance of this change can hardly be overestimated." says Mr. i'henery. "I, is directly at tributable to birth control.

' im XX, lu Beautiful Southern Girls ASHEVIMJ3. N. C. UP) The rare beauty of the rhododendron and the charm of southern young womanhood was mingled In cele bration of the fourth annual Rho dodendron festival here June 24 to 26. The most beautiful girls from a dozen southern stHtes, appointed by their governors, paid homage to. the rare mountain . flower nt the court of tho King nnd Queen of Rhododendron in a brilliant social event climaxing tho three day fete. Starting in 1928 as a sectional celebration for North Carolina people, the Rhododendron festival has attracted wide attention and It Is expected thnt last year's crowd of 50,000 visitors will be surpassed this season. Mount Mitchell, highest peak east of the Rocky mountains, is ablaze with the glory of the deli cute p!nk and white flower from which the festival gets its name.

Near ly all of these herbs can be grown from seed or plants, the leaves dried nnd stored to be hand when wanted.1 Sweet marjoram, the merlon of German cooks, . a favorite herb for stuffing" for ducks and geese, Is an annual readily grown from soed .but It Is1-often hnrd to find It for the holiday goose. A row of this herb can be grown In some out of the way corner, the Whole plant pulled, hung by the heels and dried and then .the leaves and the stems can be rub bed to powder and stored for use when needed. Basil, thyme and the savories are other herbs much; needed In cooking that can readily, be supplied from ft smnll patch in the home garden. All are of; auick erowth and can be planted! now. Sage, the standby for poultry j can be raised from the sed or thej plants can be obtained. Half aj dozen plants will yield nn ample I supply of leaves. The sane Is a salvia and Is nn ornamental plant in me iiower gartien, mo pecu liar tone of the leaves giving a name to a color, sage green, v Caraway for seeds for cooking ts a biennial. It can be started now for next year. Dill is another of the same type fbr pickles. The main idea with these herbs ts to give each plnnt room enough to develop to full capacity. The more room It has the more leaves It will produce and, in most of SOUR DECLINING YEARS? ' Inevitably they will come those years which will find your earning power gradually waning until It reaches the vanishing point. Prepare for them now by saving! The money thus set aside will then work for you earning "wagos' in the form of liberal Interest when you are no longer able to work for yourself.
