HOUSEWIFERY DWARFS
OTHER U. S. BUSINESS
The American housewife is en
gaged in a business that makes the
railroad or hanking industry look
like a “piker” in comparison. At
least, this is the conclusion of the
women’s bureau of the department
of labor.
While industry talks about a 40-
hour week, the average housewife
puts in at least 50 hours a week, the
bureau points out. In farm homes
where there urc babies she works 73
hours a week. “The overworked
housewife has by no means passed
into history,” says the report.
With the exception of the care of
very young children, the major job
of the 24,000,000 “unemployed”
housewives in the United States is
the preparation of meals. A study
of Oregon households showed that
one-fourth of all time given to the
needs of the home was spent in pre
paring meals where households aver
aged four on five persons.
But the housewife does not need
to feel that her services are worth
nothing in terms of money, says the
bureau. After keeping a record for
15 years, the wife of an economist
came to the conclusion that the
average woman who prepares meals,
cans, preserves, bakes and launders
at home for her own family, pro
duces substantially the equal value
of her husband’s economic contribu
tion in industry.
Her records indicated that the
housewife earns an equivalent of
from $5 to S2O a week, year in and
year out, depending on the size of
her family and its standard of living.
By doing all cooking and baking
at home on.e month and buying the
same products from the store the
month, this woman discovered
her bill the first month was only
$lO compared with s2l the next and
she spent ogly about half an hour
more a day in the kitchen.
Another study analyzing the
Michigan farm wife’s labor, estimat
ed that over a period of 30 years she
had earned the equivalent of $35,-
000 just in preparing meals. With
her labor modestly estimated at 15
cents a meal, the bureau figured the
value of her services during a year
would run about $1167 for meals
alone. “If this represented a third
of her services the money value of
her work would run to over $3500
a year,” the report says.
Even in the prosperous year of
192’9, only 5 per cent of the fami
lies in the United States had paid
help, the study shows. The great
majority of families have been able
to afford new types of household
equipment and labor-saving devices
to only a limited extent, if at all.
Once it was the custom for maid
en aunts and spinster sisters to stay
at home and lend a hand in the
housework, but today, the report
points out, such relatives are likely
to be engaged in business outside
the home.
“The economic position of the
housewife is rather an anomaly.”
“Her services never come on the
market and she is outside the price
system, yet her contribution as a
producer in the home holds a com
pelling position in the economic life
of any community. More than this,
she is found exerting an influence
measured in many lines of manu
factured commodities, while her ef
ficiency as a homemaker definitely
affects the productive capacity of
those members of the family at
work outside the home.
“Further, the standards she main
tains in her work, or wishes to at
tain, have an important bearing on a
wide range of commercial products,
for as a producer of foods and
household goods she wields tremend
ous economic power.”
STATE HOSPITAL HEAD
SEEKING EMOVAL OF
INOFFENSIVE PATIENTS
Milledgeville, Ga.—Dr. J. W.
Oden, superintendent of the state
hospital, announced the hospital is
seeking removal of 364 “harmless
and inoffensive” patients to “make
room for those violently insane and
who are now in jails.”
The superintendent said the hos
pital has “more than 7,000 patients,
and room for only about 5,000.” He
said 364 of the 7,000 could be re
moved and taken care of either by
their families, in county almshouses,
or by social security payments.
Letters asking that these patients
be taken out of the hospital were
sent about a month ago to their
families and to the ordinaries of
their home counties, Dr. Oden said.
“Quite a few” have left, and more
are expected to go.
GEORGIA BOYS SWELL RANKS
OF CIVILIAN CONSERVATION
CORPS
For the October enrollment in the
Civilian Conservation Corps, an al
lotment of 4,408 vacancies for the
State was given the State Depart
ment of Public Welfare. With the
filling of these vacancies, Georgia’s
busic quota of 9,300 enrollces was
completed.
Since the basic pay for these boys,
in addition to their board, lodging
and clothing, is $30.00 per month, it
is evident that they and their fami
lies are receiving at least $279,000.-
00 per month, or $3,348,000.00 an
nually. Recent regulations provide
that enrollees, in the absence of de
pendents, may each deposit from
$22.00 to $25.00 monthly with the
Chief of Finance, War Department,
which is to be returned to them at
the termination of their enrollments.
However, it is estimated that not
more than 300 of the 9,300 enrollees
are doing this, thus indicating that
approximately $225,000.00 in allot
ments are going each month to de
pendents residing in Georgia.
Although a reduction in the age
limits of enrollees created some of
the vacancies existing on October 1,
it is believed that outside employ
ment as a result of improved busi
ness conditions was a much more im
portant factor in the resignation of
enrollees. To this extent the allot
ments to new enrollees represent an
increase in purchasing power in the
State. Over and above the actual
benefits that go directly to depend
ents of tha enrollees, then, the op
portunities of physical and mental
improvements of the boys by the
camps have become profitable in
vestments that are now being shown
by tangible results.
THIN WOMEN LIVE THE
LONGEST, SAYS EXPERT
For thin women, life not only be
gins at forty, but also lasts longer,
according to Dr. Louis I. Dublin, life
insurance statistician.
Addressing the annual meeting of
the Association of Life Insurance
Medical Directors of America in
Mew York recently, Dr. Dublin as
serted there is a definite relationship
between build and mortality rate
among women, based on a study of
329,fi27 policy holders.
The study revealed, Dr. Dublin
said, relatively high mortality rate
among women who are below aver
age height and among older women
who are overweight.
“The penalty of overweight be
comes somewhat more pronounced
with increasing age,” he added.
“After 40, women who are moder
ately underweight live longest, and
overweight becomes an increasingly
serious impairment to health and to
the prospects of long life.
“These broad characteristics of
the mortality by weight groups are
not affected by height.”
At ages below 30, however, he
said, the lowest mortality rate is
among women of medium height and
average weight. Between the ages
of 30 and 39, longevity appears to
favor tall women.
Dr. Dublin reported the study re
vealed the average height for adult
women to be 5 feet 4% inches.

County near Albany.
Altogether 104 camps are to be

The Georgia camps selected were
chosen because of the “advanced”
stage of the work, which makes them
less needed than others in the state.
