Makes NationWide Investigation in Campaign tfe Rase American Standard my JOHN DICKINSON SHHMAN HH General Federation of Women'a Club* Is making a surrey of tha American home. This la one of theaa now things under tbe sun which the • • old saw says there Isn't. A surrey U/JL has never been made by the federal iW/ census bureau or by any public or \V/ pilyate agency. The Genefal Federation la making It as a necessary part of Its determined effort to raise the standard of the American hooa For to work with understanding and efficiency tt amat know what are the existing conditions Hence the surrey, instituted by the Federation's president, Mrs. John D. Sherman, and well under way In all parts of the country. The fllled-ln questionnaires will be tabulated at the Federation's headquarters in Washington. The findings will be published. Eventually the findings will be presented to congress, with the request that it authorize a similar survey aa a part of the regular work of the census bureau. Amnio*, with all that It repraaenta of hope In the world. Is now and will be what jroa make U. Its Institution* of r«ll(io«i liberty, of edasa* tlon and •cooomlo opportunity, of oonstltutloaal rights, of integrity of th« law, art tha most pracious possessions of the human race. These do not emanate from the government. Their abiding place Is with the people. They come from the con- ••oration of the fatliar, the love of the mother sad the devotion of ths children. They are the prodaot of that honest, earnest and tireless effort that aeeo into the rearing; of the family altar and the mak» In* of the home of our country. This tribute to the American home by President Coolidge in a recent public address emphasiisa the fact that notwithstanding disquieting conditions In the home home-making continues to bo a passion with good Americans. To the honaat, hard-working men and women who carry the burdens of the world the chance to own a home and rear a family is a blessing from heaven. Here la concrete proof. No class of financial Institution has developed faster in the last decade than the building and loan associations. There are now In this country 11,844 local associations, with a total membership of 8,554352 and assets totaling 94.705,887,197. Last year they built over 400,000 homes. ' The General Federation declares that tMs American home la in danger. It should know, for federated dob women are home-makers. Ninetytwo per cent of American housewives do their own work. This means that a large percentage of tbe women in federated clubs perform practically all of the domestic duties which their homes require. To these members home is what it has been for generations--woman's first Interest. A creed for club women, written twenty-five years ago by Mrs. Robert J. Burdette, sets forth that no dab should Introduce Into its program any activity which does not spring from the home and lead back to the home. Today the federated dob woman demands that her dub life and her bone life be correlated. Mrs. Sherman was elected president at the 1924 biennial conventftm at Los Angeles. She Immediately established the Department of the Ainer- Ican Home. Mrs. Maggie W. Barry of Texas la chairman. Mrs. Sherman has this to say about the new department, tbe home and the survey: The home has always been tha oaater of the club woman's Interest, no matter how many and how farflung her other activities. 80 tha establishment of the new Department of tha Bone did not activity amoag dub women. But tt did constitute a deolaratlon by tha federated elub women of their continued belief that hcme-makinc la the most Important Industry of tha -- »w that the home la tta preeent hour of need la a national oonoera, * For the American homo la ta real daaaer We can no lonaar shut our eyes to tha fact. Tha situation Is Increasingly bad. ^ Beoauee of the manifold blessings enjoyed by the American people tha American home should be world's standard.

Social m.fW aZZ not kept up with the natural sciences, One outstanding cause seems to be an undeniable lenorance on the part of both men and women of tha art of home-making.

My Dear Mrs. Shot man: What yon Wave said abowt the plena of the General Federation for a nation-wide snrroy of homo-making methods and facilities, has improesod ma as having possibilities of largo usefulness. I am snro that soma of tho Government agancias will be ablo to givo soma substantial assistance, and assume that you will afford them the opportunity. From what you have said I gather that the program is of a practical character, and I hope may be productive of much good to the women who have to conduct the affairs of American homes. Very truly yours, CALVIN COOLIDGE. Mrs. John D. Sherman. President General Federation of Women's Clubs, 1734 N Street, N. W., Washington, D. C. DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE of the Secretary Washington, May S, 1925. Dear Mrs. Sherman: 1 am much interested to hear of your proposed national survey of home equipment. The home is tha family workshop Its equipment and organization are an laden of its efficiency. As our most important conservation problem is the conservation of human energiee, a general study of the equipment of the home for reduction of needless effort should have much usefulness. It should also lead to aa increase ia tha naaonnt of time which the women of tho uountiy may devote to the development of the finest type of family life and to civic improvement. Your project, therefore, is highly commendable and should bring results. «| far-reaching importance. • -i 5 Yours faithfully, HERBERT HOOVER. And There ft No Doabt That Jwdias Is Dead "When yob step on your starter think of your motor," is the suggestion urged upon our autocrazy by a firm of advertisers. It seems to me the advertisers give a lot of unwarranted credit to those whom they address. The admonition to think presupposes possession of wherewithal. Granting, however, for the sake of argument,' that the United States of A-mania is not entirely bereft of inherent ability to reason I should imagine an advertiser with an eye to preserving a few customers for the future might suggest: "When you step on your atarter think of Caesar!" There may have been no motor In Caesar's chariot, but--he refused to believe in signs. You guessed It--Julius is dead.-- Stuart N. Lake, In the Saturday Evening Port.

Scientist* Plan to Study Whales "Are whales polygamous?" an? "What Is their birth rate?" are among the questions a British scentlflc expedition to the whaling districts of the Falkland islands and southern Argentina and Chile will seek to answer. The expedition is under the auspices of the British colonial office. It will make an exhaustive study of whales, their habits, their food and. If possible, will locate their breeding grounds. The British government has regulations controlling the whaling industry In the South sea waters about South Georgia and the Falkland islands and this expedition was sent out in the interest of preserving the Industry. More than 10,000 whaJes were captured in the vicinity of the Falkland Islands and South Georgia last year. If the expedition can establish the theory that the whales of the Antarctic regions migrate to African waters during the breeding season, it Is expected the British government will enact legislation considered necessary for the protection of whales in both regions, during the breeding season.

And where does the fault lie but In the' hornet It looka aa If both generations must learn all over again the real meaning of home life. So we are focusing our many Federation activities upon the new Home Department. Its program covers a wide range of subjecta: from the physical wellbelng of the family to Its moral and spiritual development; from the material structure and equipment to the atmosphere Inside of the house, whloh I call the soul of the home; from the financial business of running the house to the education In fundamental religion, character-building and the artistic values of art, music and literature. Also we are going to show the vital relation of the thing called "politics" to the health, safety and education of the ohlldren In the home. The olub for woman, once frankly cultural, haa developed with the times and has adjusted Itself to the home and community Interests of Its members. It must help her to meet ISIS responsibilities and to solve IMS problems. And this the new Department of the American Home is designed' to~do. Our survey of home equipment should give valuable results. Modern equipment means Increased efficiency In housekeeping and that. In turn, means the saving of time and strength for home-making and other activities. Home-making is, of course, more than hosuekeeplng, yet successful housekeeping is a vital factor in It. Are our housekeeping equipment and methods the best that are available to usT Or are ws waetlng time and labor and exhausting nervous and mental ener- **Ellen Richards has coined a word--"euthenics." She defines It as "the betterment of living conditions through conscious endeavor, for the purpose of aeeurtng more efficient human beings. We must have due regard for euthenics if tomorrow a America la to be a nation of better homes. The General Federation does not expect, of course, to make a complete survey of tbe mora than 25,000,000 homes. But It expects to get data which the census bureau does not obtain. Tbe bureau asks about the Implements In the farmer's barn, but has no Interest in whether the farmer's wife has water and drainage In her home. The business of being a housewife and bringing up a family Is not a "gainful occupation," yon see, ao why should the federal government be concerned about the equipment of a person of "no occupation" T Mrs. Sherman In planning tha aorrey outlined Its purpose and scope to President Coolidge. He gave It his official approval, as is shown by his letter. The President is strong for the home. He Is the chairman of the advisory council of Better Homes In America, of which Secretary Herbert Hoover Is president of tbe board of directors. " • Secretary Hoover also gave his unqualified apfWoval. as his letter shows. This approval Is "algntflcant, inasmuch as the census bureau of the Department of Commerce Is under his direction. In planning Us survey the General Federation Invited the National Electric Light association to co-operate. This noncommercial association welcomed the opportunity. President Franklin T. Griffith saying, "In this servnntless age our lndnatry is particularly Interested because electricity la revolutionizing home life and social activity through electric laltor-saving conveniences and better lighting." At the forty-eighth convention of the association in San Francisco last month Mrs. Sherman was one of the speakers, with Secretary Hoover, Secretary . of Agriculture Jardlne and other nationally prominent men and women. The co-operation of the association assures the aid of •lectrlc power and light companies and of public service corporations handling gaa, water, .etc* la the making of the survey. Outline and questionnaire for the survey were drawn by the Industrial Survey and Research Service of Washington, D. C., Miss Marie L. Obenauer, director. The cost of the campaign Inaugurated by the Service will be borne by the Woman's Home Companion, which will publish tbe findings of the survey. The questionnaire Is soflldently comprehensive to secure the Information wanted by the General federation. Here are the general dasslficatlona. Equipment of homes with water and sewer connections; garbage, trash and ash disposal; heating a>stems; equipment with gas; equipment with . electricity; available household labor; equipment with telephone and educational and entertainment facilities; club study given to home equipment. Completely filled In, the first classification, for example, will give the following Information: Number of family dwellings In community; number of family dwellings having Inside flush toilets and stationary wash basins, bath tubs, kitchen alnks and laundry tubs; payment for water on meter or flat rate; water aupply <*nd,jewage disposal, If no public systems; protectMmoiNlrinklag water. ' The General Federation of Women's Clubs had Its beginning In 1888, when Sorosls, a pioneer woman's club of New York city, celebrated Its twenty-first birthday. Ninety clubs responded to the invitation of its president, Mrs. Jennie C. Croly ("Jennie June"). Julia Ward Howe headed a committee to prepare constitution and organisation. Tbe first biennial convention was held la Chicago In 1892. In 1883 the forty-five clubs of Iowa federated and Joined. Other states followed and the Federation became a federation of federations. In 1001 congress granted the Federation a national charter. The Federation now has approximately 3,000,000 members. It is nonpartisan and ponsectarian. It is undoubtedly tbe most powerful nonpolitical organization In tbe country. No woman is really as handsome aa she thinks that some man thlnka aba la. Nothing spreads so fast by example as laziness.
