HOME MAKING IS I
MUCH NEGLECTED
Home-makltfg, and tho work of
ordinary "housekeeping," Is the
most neglected of all vocation,
according to a national commit
tee which has started an expert
study of it. 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.

Answers to a questionnaire sent
to 6.024 business women by the

ISOO.000 annunlly on cosmet'es

About J per cent of them drive

Beautiful Southern Girls

rare beauty of the rhododendron
and the charm of southern young
womanhood was mingled In cele
bration of the fourth annual Rho

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

which the festival gets its name.
