ATLANTA, Nov. '29. — (AP) -—
Josephus Daniels, former secretary of
the navy, expressed the opinion today
gthat agriculture, particularly in the

problems that statesmanship and
cound commoh sense ever had to
solve.”

hours en route to Macon to address
Wesleyan students tonight.
Expressing the need for diversifi
cation of farming in Georgia, Daniels
said Georgians never will achieve in
dependence until they raise all the
foodstuffs needed.

WOMEN CAN’T HOLD JOBS
- AND KEEP HOMES GOING
|
WASHINGTON, Nov. 29.—The av
erage woman with the average job
will never be able to do justice to a
home at the same time. Only the
woman with a flexible job can com
bine home and work successfully.
Mis. Ethel Puffer Howes, of the
Smith college institute for the recon
ciliation of women’s interests, an in
stitute devoted to research work aim
ed to show women how to coordinate
home and job, so stated today at the
professional Pan-Hallenic association
meeting here.
‘Our research has shown that if a
woman has a rigid job which forces
her to spend certain number of hours
each day in the service of an employ
er, she cannot run a home as it
should be run at the same time,” Mrs.
Howes said. '
If she can have work that is her
own—a business of her own, for in
stance—she can coordinate that with
her home successfully. Or if she has
other work that does not require ad
herence to rigid hours of duty. Mean
while, the Smith college institute
which Mrs. Howes heads is conduct
ing experiments and research with
the idea of helping women solve this
problem,
Reorganization of the home is nec
essary, Mrs. Howes belicves, and co
operative community service would
aid cooperative home nurscries for
children, cooperative home assistants
who might divide their time among
different employers, and cooperative
food service. A cooperative nursery
has been installed at Smith college
and is working successfully.
This institute iz endowed with
Rockefeller money and is conducting
its research work largely among col
lege women trained for professions.
Those women, Mrs. Howes believes,
are the only ones who can ever solve
the home-job problem successfully.
Industry will create part-time jobs
for married women of proved ability,
Mrs. Lillian Gilbreth, of Montclair, N.
J., successfu) industrial engineer and
mother of 11 children, will tell the
Pan-Hellenic meeting.
