Q United Press Correspondent
New York 1 Love, honor,
obey and promise to tell all
concerning morey matters.
This is just about the w?y
the marriage ceremony would
go, if Margaret E. Kennedy had
her way. Mrs Kennedy, one of
the few women in active part
nership with a New York stock
exchange firm, says a man
should make his wife partner
in all financial planning.
But the sad truth is, she added
most of them don't.
"I know . the men reply
that sure th?ir wife knows boi:t
the family's finances: she gets
their weekly paychecks. But 1
am talking about life-time fi
nancial planning," she said.
Wife In Dark
"A husband who keep his
wife l(S)the dark about money,
and a wife who permits him to
do so are asking for trouble for
themselves and their children,'
she said in an interview at her
offices with Seligman, Lfebetfcin
and company.
For the grim fact Is. a wife
may one day have to taKt over
as head of the family," s h
continued.
"I don't mean that the wife
has to become an expert, but
She needs a working knowledc
of money. She should be with
her husband when he buys secur
ities; she should know all the
details of insurance policies; she
should know what his invest
ments in stocks and bonds are,
and why they were made.
Mrs. Kennedy said that every
one's investments need constant
examination, and change as the
nation's economic picture chanf
es. Should Brief Children
She also believes in letting
the children in on family
finance.
"I don't mean that children
must know their father earns
$327 a month and that S67 of
that goes for a mortgage pay
ment," she added. "But it should
be impressed on them that the
family purse isn't bottomless;
that some mcjey must go for
essentials, leaving onfy a cer
tain amount for other things."
Mrs. Kennedy, a vivacious wo
man In her early 40 s, was wid
owed in her 20's, with t'o small
children to support. But she had
early training in finance; her
father is an investment author

Raised Buckwheat Cakes
Popular in South Dakota
Miller, S. D. (W "Raised"
buckwheat pancakes are popu
lar with South Dakota farm
families. Mrs. Marie Collins
uses this traditional recipe.
Equal parts of buckwheat and
white flour are mixed with a
tablespoon of sugar, a table
spoon of shortening and a pinch
of salt. Enough milk is added to
make a stiff dough, into which
is put a package of yeast which
has been soaked in a fourth cup
of water.
The batter sets overnight.
Then add a teaspoon of soda and
enough milk to make the dough
of the consistency desired for
pancakes.
A cup of the batter is pre
served for a starter for the next
batch. Mrs.- Collins said this
starter should set for at least
three days before it is used in
stead of yeast in the next batch.

Kidnaping Is
Inspiration
For Inter-Com
By VIVIAN SANDE
United Press Correspondent
New York P A kidnaping
that shocked the world helped
play a large part in the remark
able career of Miryam Simpson,
a pioneer in the world of elec
tronics. It happened on March 1, 1932.
Miryam was 19 years old, a ra
dio "ham" and a dreamer. Ra
dio was in its infancy and Mir
yam, even though she was-a girl,
was learning all she could about
it. She built her first crystal set
at the age of six, and from that
time on her career was cut out
for her.
The girl had an idol in those
days, a man who believed in an
other kind of dream, and made
it come true; Charles Lindbergh.
That first day of March in
1932 Miryam never left her self
made wireless as the tragic news
of the Lindbergh baby kidnap
ping filled the air. In the months
that followed she couldn't get
out of her mind the idea that
there should have been some
way to protect the baby.
First Model
The following year Miryam
made her first model of an inter
communications set for the home
a device that carries sounds
from one room to another.
The same model still appears
in the catalog of Miryam Simp
son's products.
Miryam Simpson now is pres
ident and general sales manag
er of Masco, a Long Island firm
that makes 207 different elec
tronics communications items
her plant grosses about $2,000,
000 a year.
During the last war Miryam
Simpson was a dollar-a-year-wo-man
in Washington, and she still
is the only woman member of
the exclusive Gaslight Club of
top executives in the electronics
field.
She readily admits it's hand
for a woman to crack this field
which still is almost exclusively
a man's world. But she credits
some of her own success in it to
the fact that she is a woman;
particularly the pioneering she
has done in the home intercom
munications field.
An Accident
Some of her customers use
the small intercom to talk to
their dogs in the back yard, pro
tect their poultry against thieves
or to listen to what the neigh
bors are saying on the front
porch. But Miryam Simpson be
lieves her invention is a "wife
saver," something that could
save the housewife many steps;
and an "electronic nurse," mak
ing it possible for a mother to
keep in touch with her child
through walls.
Miryam Simpson is a hearty

Few American Foods
Suit Everyone's Taste
Chicago Itfl Except for
steak, ice cream cones, and ham
and eggs, there seem to be few
truly American foods that suit
everyone's taste.
"Regional preferences still
play an important role in decid
ing what foods will sell best
in what areas," said Mary Hale
Martin, home economist for
Libby, McNeill, and Libby.
However, she said recent
shifts in population, and in
creased travel seem to be malr
ing a melting pot of American
foods.
"Perhaps the last stronghold
of regional tastes is in the south,
but even so, some of the special
items are finding acceptance in
the north, just as fried chicken
did years ago, " she said.
"With continued population
shifts," continued Miss Martin,
"it seems reasonable to predict
that some day soon we will all
speak the same language in food
as well as the same mother ton
gue." woman. But five years ago she
was in an accident that nearly
took her life. It incapacitated
l.er for a year, and left her with
metal pins and plates in her
body. She says the experience
taught her a lot.
' I was cocky until then," she
said. 'Then I learned that we
human beings, no matter who
we are, are inconsequential in
the large scheme of things. We
can be wiped out in a second."
