f MANY VALUABLE HINTS .__ FINEST DISPLAY OF MEMORIALS N CHICAGO e 5751 RAVENSWOOD AVENUE P i; Phone Long Beach 4646 SAYS RADIOS AID _ _ ‘TO THE HOUSEWIFE Some women realize that they could get thuch more out of the radio than they do, but they do not know how to go about it. Of course, local papers carry daily programs; but here is another suggestion: write to the radio editor of one‘s favorite newspaper and ask him what stations are radiocasting the information in which the writer is most interested: menus, cooking, dressmaking, child care, social affairs, etiquette, or any subject of special value to that listâ€" enerâ€"in. He may tell what wavelength to use and at what times to tune in, and possibly he will refer the inquirer to somebody else. The home maker who knows the radio only through selections made by her husband and the young people of the family, little realizes what a world of valuable help is available to her at hours when her family is away from home. Music, concerts, weather and market reports, are valâ€" uable to thousands of people, and they are not all that may be derived from the air, by any means, says a writer in the Home department of the Chrisâ€" tian Science Monitor of Boston. Progressive Game If one follows the programs or else his directions, one will soon be listenâ€" ing to talks concerning one or more of the subjects desired; then a letter can be written to the radio authorities at those radiocasting stations for further information. These people will know of other stations, and what they are radiocasting, or they can tell to whom to write tb get just the facts wanted. In this way and in a comâ€" paratively short time one can deterâ€" mine what stations throughout the country are offering the programs of one‘s choice, and when. List the inâ€" formation as it comes in, listenâ€"in on the talks,â€"pick out the best in each line, but never consider the list comâ€" plete. In looking always for the finest service, the enthusiast will be conâ€" stantly picking up new stations and dropping some of the old. And some of the old will prove standbys through all sorts of tests. Writer in Home Department of Value of Appreciation It often happens that one hears at a mecting something that is very helpful. One desires to express graâ€" titude to the speaker but hesitates for fear of seeming intrusive. In the same way, one reads helpful articles and that same bashfulness checks a letter of appreciation to the editor of the publication, It is not realized by the layman that editors keep close track of the preferences of their subâ€" scribers, and that failure by readers to expre:s approval of sympathetic matcrial may cause the selection ofâ€" another writér who, it is hoped, will meet with more response. Of course, these talks are given with the idea of helping the largest number of home makers they can. Some listenersâ€"in are brides new to their jobs, so that much will be told with which the experienced houseâ€" kecper is familiar. But by hearing the speaker through, even she will doubtles: find eventually some phase of the subject reviewed that is new to her. Be prepared with pencil and paper, ready to make note of it so as not to lose any of the rest of the talk in the attempt :o remember the first interesting point. w This is particularly true of the radio. The only way those in charge of radiocasting stations can tel} whether or not they are offering what their listeners want, is through letters and telephone calls from those who listen in. This is one of the chief reasons why the announcer makes it so clear, both before and aftér each number, what station is radiocasting and what speaker is on the air. Those mentioned favorably by the largest number of communications are conâ€" sidered the most popular and are enâ€" Boston Newspaper Points Out Practical Use of . H. ANDERSON GRANITE FURNISHED AND Advice Given gaged again and again, while those phase of the talk that was of speâ€" cial interest, but such a letter is a favor to the speaker, who tried hard to make her talk most worth while to her invisible audience. She will be grateful for that communication, and the inquiry will show her how to broaden her work and so make herâ€" self more valuable in the line she has chosen. Many such correspondents, in sendâ€"| ing in their questions, ‘say that they | will listen in for the following talk, at which time many of their quesâ€" tions are answered over the air. It is a most interesting development of ( radio, this promptness and thoroughâ€" ness in answering queries of unlmowni and unseen listenersâ€"in. Home Economics Bureau , The radio service given to home makers by the Department of Agriâ€" culture through the Bureau of Home Economics has been a great success| this year. Last year, about 20 staâ€"> tions used the material prepared by‘ the Government buresu and thouâ€" sands of letters were received in its praise and asking for additional feaâ€" tures. So great was the demand that this year, from more than 100 staâ€" tions, expert advice has been given on such subjects of importance to the home maker as clothing, decoration, housecleaning, millinery, sewing, reâ€" pair work. Practically all the techâ€" nical knowledge of the trained workâ€" ers of the Bureau of Home Economics now goes out to the home makers of America over the air. Through some station or other, every phase of home management and even of home enâ€" tertainment is being most interestingâ€" ly and thoroughly covered. The completness of the service is nothing short of marvelous. Not only does one learn of menus, for instance, but reasons for the choice of. the foods is given and directions for making the dishes, even down to the last detail. And then, to top it all, one is also told how to serve the food after being advised how to set the table. Work Colored by Play While the men are at work, thereâ€" fore, and the children in school, the housekeepet can get, not only a womâ€" an‘s magazine service, but also a course in home economics. No matter how humble the home, and no matter whether one is using a radio outft that a small son cobbled up with cereal hoxes and wire, questions asked will have serious consideration. wontinuing the mending, sewing, or kitchen work. So, through the power of the radio, what was formerly unâ€" attractive and perhaps even drudgâ€" ery. has been touched by the breath of vlay. While one may want a pencil and vad during some talks, a great deal of the time one may listen in while The Automotive Spray and Painting Co.

P. 2287 SAYS WOMAN WANT "I have opposed the nonâ€"partisan or allâ€"partisan women‘s parties a~ separate from men," writes Mrs. Moyâ€" erâ€"Wing. "I am a strict adherent of ‘party‘ organization. But class organâ€" ization in the parties cannot fail to force women eventually into an underâ€" standing among themselves. Indec«. I do not know of any other existent reason or force with equal power, at this time, to bring about that unâ€" happy state. And if it must comeâ€"â€" if the menâ€"controlled organization can â€" | not be brought to a sense of the ; situation by any other method, even| then let us hope we may not need| to resort to a party, separately and ; distinctly a women‘s party, embracâ€"| ing the women of all parties.

Step Out in Open "Mow I should love to se my party step out into the open, lays ‘ts cards on the table, and ‘divyy up‘ As an ardert Republican I ~hould like exâ€" ceedingly to have us Leat the Deme crats to it. There are some superb leadors in the Republican party. How ea=ily they could fead the way from out this morass of party claâ€"s organâ€" itation to the safe and sane method of team â€"work. Uncle Sam does need a wife. The double harnc«s makes for better work and farther going than the sifgle driver. Claâ€"s organâ€" ization is the single drivcr, ot, in what is possibly a more understandâ€" able language of the day, class orâ€" ganization is something hiiting on none of its cylinders." "We do not work with the men. They won‘t let us. We work for them: to carry out their plans, to elect their men. to listen to and agree to their excuses against women for office, rt: "Yes, they do want us to vote. now that we are voters. But here is the ‘fly in the cintment‘: we are invited only to vote. And the reason we are invited to ‘vote is becauâ€"e each party fears the voting strength of the women in the opposing party. Nobody invites us to any sort of an: equal opportunity. No, indeed.. Our duty as voting citizens is to work surselves to a frazzle getting an ailâ€" men ticket clected. Our job then is to sit down and wait till they need our votes again. Writing â€" in THE HIGHLAND PARK PRESS, and Single Rooms with â€" Maid hJ Telephone H.
