PXCTE TWO inSDFOBD MHL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, GltEGOff, FRID'AT, NOVEMBER 18, 1931 Modern Women Choosing Both Home and Career Labor Survey Discloses Bv Eva Nealon Hamilton. "Horns or career?"--that grav quss Hon which gave many a bright young lady In rulllea and bustls a p'.ln In the head aa ahe turned down a poet tlon In the mllllner'a ahop for a wed ding band or vice versa a long time ago, to apend the rest of her daya, wondering what would have happened "li" haa apparently faded from the book of etnlce, according to a report received yesterday from the United Btatea Department of Labor. It glvea woman a brand new 193a depression title, "wage-earning home maker." And there are 4,000.000 of them, the report atatea. Thtrty-sevsn per cent of the total number of women employed In the United States, are enacting thla double role of home maker and wage-earner, the census data shows. Conversely, It Is pointed out, about 14 per cent of the country's borne makers are also bread wlnnera. There la nothing said In the depart ment of labor report about who la "wearing the suspenders," and "ca reer," that word which used to bring a tide of Indignation into any maacu , line gathering when associated with "wife," Isn't mentioned either. The conclusion Is - that depression brought a sense of equality for men and women Into the scheme of things which even the war failed to accom plish. The woman who worked then through a eense of pstrlotism and later for "pin-money" la now working to supply an economic need. The vast majority of these home makers have undertaken paid Jobs not from the desire for a career or eco I nomlo Independence, the Washington report states, "but from the need to supplement or provide the family1 In come." Mary Anderson, director of the Wo. men's Bureau, United States Depart ment of Labor, In her report of a aur vey, states, "Over hslf the breed winning home mskera were found In agricultural, Industrial and domes tlo work-types of employment en gaged In by women chiefly because of need to earn a livelihood to sup port other. A fifth Of the women were office workers and saleswomen, most of them also ere employed from economlo need. "The woman with a double Job Is making economlo contributions to the family In two waya first by her earn ings, and second by her services in the home, which have a definite money value, aa la apparent when an outside person must be paid to per form such work. "Many wage-earning women do practically all the household tasks before and after their paid Jobs. Em ployment of the home maker does not necessarily mean that her home and family an neglected," Mlse An derson sdds. "A womsn must give much of her time to make the home a success, but ahe may have to take soma hours from her domestlo sched ule to earn money to make the home a possibility." As a measure to safeguard the health and energlea of women forced to be both home maker and wage earner, and for Insuring better homes and happier families. Miss Anderson st the close of her report, stresses the Importance of a shorter workday. Wage -earning home makers Include many single women and those with broken marital ties as well as mar ried women, the report also ahows. The "pin-money" theory, still applied so extensively to married women, Is an unfair handicap, Mlsa Anderson maintains, urging a more definite recognition of women'a Increased re sponsibility for dependents. ER1CANS UNDERSTAND JAPS' (sty James A, Mills.) MUKDEN, Manchukuo, rV-n-eral Nobuyoshl Muto, Japan's pleni potentiary to the new state of Man chukuo, asks the people of the United States to Judge Japan'a policy here In "a spirit of tolerance, lenlenoy and generosity Japanese, he said In an Interview, cannot understand by America, which haa obtained the fullest measure of wealth, power and Influence, should begrudge a small eh are of the world's goods to Japan. Moreover, he declared, his coun try Is fighting for Its very existence. General Muto, godfather to the world'a youngest nation, la regarded In Tokyo aa Japan's "strong, silent man,' 'although he Is small of stat ure and retiring In demeanor. flitting In his modest, one-room of fice here, he voiced a fervent hope that America might understand Ja. nan's motives. "Instead of quibbling over the technical phraseology In academic, agreements never Intended to cover auch a altuatlon as Japan now faces In Chine," he said, "would It not be nobler for the United States to take into account some of the funds' mental elements which affect Japan In thla crisis? "Does America realise, for exam ple, that without Manchuria, the Japanese people will starve to death? "Are your people conecioua of the fact that, unless we haw Manchuria aa a barrier, the devastating forces of bolshevlam msy engulf the whole of Jspsn and China? "Do the American people, always broadmlnded and generous, ever stop to think that their government slam med Its doors sgalnst peaceful Jap anese cttlaens? Australia, New 2a land, oouih Airlce, and other coun tries followed America 'a exempts. What ahall we do with our surplus population r" General Muto denied vigorously that Japan would ever annex Man churia, and Insisted that "It la a lie to say that Manchucukuo Is a tra gus' state." "The birth of Si. nw nation," he said, "should bs rrgardcd aa a al- oua national movement to assert Jap an'a existence. It should not be over looked that It Is also a movement of the oriental races to remodel their destinies, with Japan aa the -antral lever and guide. Prince Injured As Horse Falls CHICAGO, Not.
