HOUSEWIFE'S WORKING HOURS Those who regard the housewife as a bridge playing. delicatessen patron are recommended by the American farm women to study statistics made public recently by the U. S. Department of Agricul. ture, These figures, announced at the opening session of the National Farm Women's conference by Dr. Louise Stabley of the Bureau otf Home Economics of the Depart- ment of Agriculture, show that the farm woman spends 61 1-2 hours a week at good hard work Moreover her city sister isn't exactly an idler, either, for the statistics show that she spends no less than 49 1-4 hours every week in perform- ing tasks hbout the home. According to Dr. Stanley, the eight hour day and five day week are still a long way from the housewife, despite the recent as- sistance of labor saving appliances. And the city woman, much malign- ed by jokes which link her with the bridge table and can opener, actually spends 10 1-4 hours a week preparing mgals, Dr. Stam- ley reports. The farm woman spends most of her time preparing meals, 15 1-4 hours a week, to be exact, The rest of her time she divides as fol- lows: Clearing away meals and dishwashing 7 1-4 hours, cleaning 7 1:2 hours, laundering § 1-2 hours, mending 1 1-2 hours, sew- 3 3-4 hours, management 2 1-4 hours, other activities, such 'as making beds and other household activities 4 1-2 hours, and actual farm work, such as feeding the chickens, supervising the dairy, etc, 9 1-4 hours, the Slavic music which is, as a rule, flerce and wild, the speaker explained how it expressed the feeling of 'its people towards the oppression that has ruled them for so many centuries.

Jones, to move a vote of thanks to all who had as- sisted in the affair of the evening. This motion was seconded by Mrs. Leo Gray. The president of the Club, Mrs. Roy Bonnett presided throughout the evenjng. liberty and freedom, would display the fact in music that suggested peace and contentment. This address was followed by a programme of music representing several different countries. Mrs. Parker remdered on Old English song "Drink to Me Only With Thine Eyes," and "All Through the Night." A Welsh song, an Irish and an Old English Ballad were sung by Mr. George Fleming. Irs. Stasick rendered two Ukraine fan folk songs. Those sung by Mr. T. McDowell, "The Song bf the Flea" and "The Song of the Volga Boat Men," were Russian. He ale 80 rendered "La Serenetta," cha: acteristic of Italian music.
