"I'd like to work, and goodness knows, we can use the extra money. But can I work and still be a good wife and mother?'1 "Can career girls hold a job and do right by the family at the same time?" asks Ruth. 'T want to use my training, but I don't want to wreck my marriage." Can working wives make a go of marriage? According to the American Institute of Family Relations, under the direction of Dr. Paul Popenoe, the answer is yes. Yes, if and this is a necessary pro vision if the husband under stands and cooperates. The new pattern of marriage-and-job can be a boon to a family, with the proper cooperation between partners. In this era of rising costs and Standards of living, the addition al helD Dossible with a wife s salary is welcome if not often cs sential. College educations for the children, insurance, cars, new housing and furnishings all these are frequently availa ble only through the extra aid of a working wife. While the children are small, a couple is wise to "get along," to "make do," in order to keep Mother at home with her small children if at all possible. La Prelfy Practical! 383? JIFFY SHRUG!

Many women feel, frankly, a bit stale on years of domestic routine. Many feel a drive to re turn to their professions in or der to express themselves and contribute to the world's work. Others prefer working with peo ple rather than waiting in an empty house for children and husband to return from their day in the outside world. And, of course, some need and want extra money. An outside job works well with these folk if both spouses agree upon its limitations, liabil ities and restrictions. Adjust ments are necessary, but need not jeopardize a good marriage. Mother's job may well strength en the bonds of together-ness in a family, making of the group a cooperative unit which both works and plays together suc cessfully. Cracked Egg Sales Studied by Expert; Economy Is Factor Ithaca, N. Y.-(U.R) Cracked eggs at prices 10 to 15 cents less than grade "A" large eggs sell well, according to a study made by a Cornell university market ing specialist, Erman Moore. Moore spent 18 months study ing the situation. He and his as sociates coined the trade name "Econ-o-crax" and used economy as the main selling point. The eggs were put in a special pulp- board carton that protected the eggs from further damage and prevented leakage. The eggs were offered for sale in a large suprmarkethere. Moore found that egg sales jumped six per cent in the first year, and the broken eggs ac counted for more than one fourth of all the sales. Moore then made a postal card survey. "Price was the most important reason for buying the eggs," he said. "And about 70 per cent said they bought cracked eggs in place of other eggs." Tests were made in other stores in New York state and the results were similar. "About three-fourths of the buyers say they used cracked eggs for all purposes," he ex plained. "The others used the eggs for special purposes."

Relaxed Voice Sneech Exoerts i . i By ELIZABETH TOOMEY United Pratt Correspondent New York fU.R) A wom an's voice is as important to her fortune as her face in this elec tronic age. Even bathing beauties rarely are seen without being heard in contemporary beauty contests. Yet many a streamlined beauty ruins her chances even for social success by a rough-edged voice. Vocal coaches say we could do something about it. Barring phy sical obstructions, any woman can have a pleasing voice, they claim, if she'll just spend a little time on it. "Women spend so much time grooming ther nails," sighed Ari stide d'Angelo, a speech author ity who has taught scores of now famous actors and actresses in his 25 years at the American Ac ademy of Dramatic Arts. "But because the voice cannot be seen they feel it isn't part of their phy sical makeup, so they don't think about grooming it." "In the old days," said Mar ian Rich, a vocal coach who of ten trains young television per formers, "the high, bell -like voice was quite stylish. It went with the vapors and breath-taking corsets. But now women should have lower, more relaxed voices." A New Kind Television has brought an en tirely new kind of female per former into prominence t h e wholesome, nice looking young woman who can look at home selling sponsors' products in a kitchen and who talks in a pleas ing yet straightforward manner. Her voice is more typical of the ideal the average woman could strive for than any other kind of television, stage or screen speech. "It is a matter of breathing deeply and relaxing your throat," Julia Meade, one of the highest paid saleswomen on tel evision, said. "I notice that many women seem to be pushing their voices out of their throats. It makes them sound high and nas al." To keep from sounding affect ed, Miss Meade concentrates closely on the sense of what she is saying, a rule which the two speech authorities agreed was ex cellent for everyday speech. Most of us are inclined to think that because we have had Time's running out in Plymouth's colossal $100,000 Solid Gold License Plate Jackpot!

Like it or not, we'll say, it's our natural voice and we're stuck with it. That is exactly wrong, d'An gelo and Miss Rich agree. "The natural voice is what you learn to use, the one which indicates your personality," Miss Rich said. "The tall, earthy girl who talks in a Peter Pan voice is not using her natural voice." (The first two rules for im provement are good breathing and a relaxed throat, the two ex perts agreed. "Women are by their very na ture more nervous than men," d'Angelo said. "When you are frightened, angry or tense you get a tightness in your throat and it affects your voice. When we say a woman's voice is attrac tive we usually mean it has res onance. To have it, she must have coordination between breathing and relaxing of the throat." "It's never too young to be gin, since the fewer bad habits a girl learns from her parents the easier it will be to develop pearl-shaped tones. "My mother used to say, "Now just lower your voice, calm down and tell me again," Miss Meade laughed. "So I never had any terrible problem to overcome." Daughter Honored At Recent Party Linda Dale McAtee was .hon ored at a lawn party Monday which observed her ninth birth day anniversary.
