I j Should a Married Woman Work Outside of the Home?
IS, j By DOROTHY DIX. The World's Highest Paid Woman Writer
!f A young married woman -writes me
K the following:
; "Before I was married I was a sten-
i ographer and earned $25 a week. I tell
m in love with, a fellow employe and
V: married him. My husband is all that
P is good and kind and lovable but he
H' only earns ?25 a week, and will prdb-
ably never mako much more. He is
U not one of the type of men wh"o 'get
F. on' in the world,
ft "Now, as you know, .$25 a week is a
bare subsistence for even a small fam
Kf iiy We must do wtihout good clothes,
?. without amusements, without all the
j little comforts to which we 'have been
I', accustomed and that make life worth
I living,
J "I am a poor and incompetent cook
T and laundress, but I am a good and
i competent office woman. I adore busi
! ness, but I loathe housowork. The firm
I worked for offer me my old job back
f at an advanced salary but my husband
refuses to let me accept the position
because he says it would shame him
for his wife to work outside of the
home. Yet with what I could .earn do
ing the work I know how to do and like
to do added to my husband's salary,
we could live in what would seem lux
ury to us, be freed of the spectre of
want that keeps us scared to death
and our nerves raw, ana could lay by
j : something for our old age,
J 1 "Do you see any good reason why a
' : woman who has been trained to some
; gainful occupation should not follow
it-after marriage, if the family needs
money and if all that is sacrificed by
: her working outside of her home is
, ' her husband's silly falso pride?
I certainly do not, and the point of
j' , view generally on this question is
I shifting so rapidly, that in a few years
! more people will jio more expect
! woma nto give up her business Just
: ' because she marries than they will ex-:
pect a man to give up his. Women who
ifj marry rich men, and who are tired of
S working, will retire from business just j
r f as a man would i he inherited a for-'
- tune, and wanted leisure in which to
enjoy it.
" Women will temporarily withdraw
I. from business while bearing their chil
I '-t dren, as men take a few months off
' for rest cures or vacations, but it will
j I be no more a foregone conclusion that
! matrimony banishes a woman from a
: 'business office to the kitchen than that
?. marriage transfer a man's activities
J from the office to the wood shed.
' There are many reasons why this
, ? change in sentiment about a woman
; ' working outside of the home is taking
; place. One is that we are beginning
to realize what a tremendous economic
waste it Is to put a woman who is ca
pable of earning from 25 to $50 a
. i week into a kitchen to do the work
N that a $5 a week girl can do better,
' because she has more physical
strength.
; i Every good wife desires above all
; j else to keep her husband, but she does
fiiut tw n ii v &jit; v.iji l nuiij mm in me i
way that is easiest and most agreeable I
;f to herself. Why shouldn't she do her
; own work in her own way, and with
' the money she makes hire some do-
mestic woman to run her home for
hor? It would make for comfort and
efficiency all around. j ,
! Certainly the additional advantages I
, , tho mother would be able to give, the ;
J children in environment, food, clothes
and education by reason of her earn- ,
' ings being added to the family ex
chequer, would certainly far more than j
offset any disadvantage, that there I ,
might possibly be in her not being per- 1
1 ' potually with her children.
, But the chief reason for women con- ,
I tinuing after marriage in whatever oc-
cupatlon they were following before ,
; marriage is to be found in the fact that j ,
c It makes marriage possiblo between j '
; l men and women at the mating time of
, j- life at the time when they can best
adjust themselves to each other, and '
: to the matrimonial yoke, and when ;
, tboy can give the best children to the ,
world.
Under present economic conditions
the average poor young man can not ,
; L support a family in decent comfort ;
s; " by his own unaided efforts. If he mar- ,
: ries a girl who adds nothing to the ,
family budget except expense ho drags
f hor down to abject poverty. If he waits

mr
make the matrimonial venture he is
middle aged, he has grown selfish, and
doesn't want to marry. The fire of his
young love is gone.
That is why there are fewer and few
er marriages every year, and why the
old maid crop grows bigger and bigger.
Men simply can't afford the luxury of
a dependent wife, but they could marry
and would like to marrj', if they could
get wives who would be assets instead
of liabilities. If every wife had her
own pay envelope, earned by her own
hands, instead of badgering her hus
band out of his senses for the contents
of his it would not only make matri
mony posslbh; but would make it pop
ular. It would make marriage a partner
ship in which husband and wife con
tributed to the prosperity of the firm,
and shared in the upkeep of the home
It would give women their coveted
boon to financial Independence, and
the husband would find the wife who
had been out in the world all day see
ing and doing interestln glhings a far
more entertaining companion, and a
more cheerful one than is the woman
who has moped in tho house all day,
and gotten dull and stupid doing a
monontonous round of household
tasks.
Of course where a man is rich and
chooses to indulge himself in the lux
ury of keeping his wife sitting on a
silk cushion and sewing up a seam and
feeding on strawberries and cream,
that's another story. But it's a differ
ent story for the poor man, and he
need feel no shame, only pride in a
wife who can be a helpmeet with mak
ing money instead of scrimping and
saving it

WHEN THE BOYS COME SAILING
BACK
What a glorious day 'twill be
When the boys come sailing back,
With the glow of victory shining
From souls who've braved the storm
With daring they didn't lack.
What thrilling tales they'll tell us,
Of deeds dono over there;
The grave things they have faced
While going over the lop;
While sailing in the air.
None havo ever fought better
Than our boys from Yankee land,
To the world they've proven
Their courage and grlL
Nations bow to this dauntless band.
Our demonstrations and welcome
Should show them their true worth.
These bravo boys in khaki
Hold firm to the end
For a peace that will cover the earth.
So when they come sailing back
With laurels from over tho sea,
We'll meet them with pride
For their part in tho cause,
Of making the whole world free.

;l RUBBER RETIRING
LESSENS TIRE EXPENSE!
1 1
:
Through a new Invention by K. E.
Smith, manager of the Utah Tire Rub- ,
ber company, there are prospects of a '
great additional saving in tire cost and
lire upkeep for tho people of the in- '
termountain states. After months of
experimenting and most rigid tests of
various -methods in tire building, Man
ager Smith, announced yesterday the
successful culmination of his endeav
ors to bring about a system through
which partially worn tires could bo
given additional life without entire re
building. "Rubber relinlng" is the specific
'name for the now Invention, which Is
declared to be better than the policy
of half-soling tires on top of old cas
ings. Under the new plan, a row tread of
tire Is taken and after being proporly
placed inside tho old casing or tire
carcass, Js thoroughly vulcanized. The '
rubber rellner Is such that it backs up
every part of the and, to show that '
the method is entirely satisfactory, the I
Utah Tire Repair company will place'
a guarantee of 3,500 miles on every
tiro against both punctures and blow
outs. "We feel that the new plan 3s an
Important step In tire manufacture,"
said Manager Smith yesterday. "There
Is no doubt of the success of the rub
ber rellning system, for wo havo Just
tested out a tire that was so equipped
and it has gone 5,000 miles, although ,
It was in condition to be discarded '
when the work was done. The sys-1
tern is one that assures a proper dl- .
vision of strength along the entlretire;
It prevents" unnecessary friction and
does, not leave any joints that might
result in other blowouts. In fact, it
Is a complete success."

WOOD AS FUEL.
ALBUQUERQUE, N. M., Dec. 2'.
The use of wood as fuel Is being urged
by the United States Forest service,
the Southwestern headquarters of
which Is located here, and the federal
fuel administration.
The coal shortage, it was said, will
probably continue this whiter despite
the ending of the world war.
As a result of propaganda in favor
of fuel wood it was estimated that the
production of fuel wood has been In
creased fully thirty per cent In the
United States.
The labor shortage has not affected
the production of fuel wood, us it did
tho production of conl, it was pointed
out, because of the fact that farmeis

Editor Standard: The letter from
the Chinese Merchants' association,
which appeared in the Standard last
Thursday, November 28th, came to my
notice, and I wish to ask you to pub
lish my answer to it.
First, I question what the gentle
men of the Chinese Merchants asso
ciation call "honest business." You
know in China, gambling was a li
censed business for centuries past,
just as liquor traffic and prostitution
were. It is only since China became
a republic that gambling came to be
prohibited by law. Under the circum
stances, I would at least doubt that
the gentlemen of the Chinese Mer
chants association regard gambling an
honest and respectable business. Their
standard is different.
Secondly, If those stores in ques
tion on Grant and Lincoln avenues
are really doing any business to speak
of, I should suggest to any ono to go
to the Union Freight depot, both
American and Wells Fargo Express
Co. and postoffice to find what amount
of merchandise came to, nnd went
from, those stores. The merchandise
they pretend to sell is the same old
stuTf. year in year out, and no selling
nor buying is actually done there, ex
cept a sale of a few firecrackers near
the Fourth of July. The people living
in those stores have "no visible means
of support," while they not only man
age to live but also, as they proudly
confessed, havo suffini ont mnnnv In
buy Liberty bonds, to donate to Red
Cross and to the Welfare Funds. They
are doing mighty well In that, but tho
question is the source of the money.'
I Thirdly, during the year 191S. there
are the following records attached to
the Chinebe stores in question;
1. On- February 2nd. the Chinese
store at 2159 Grant avenue was raided
and twenty Orientals were arrested
and the paraphernalia and the money,
$172, were taken possession or by a
squad of policemen. Those orientals
were set freo on bail amounting to
$172.
2. Next raid was made on 24G2 Lin
"coin avenue on March -1th and one
John Doe, a Chinese, was accused of
lottery.
3. Another raid was made on May
22nd, upon a Chinese store at 2173
Grant avenue and nine Jupaneso we're
arrested and they put up $150 bail.
There was not sufficient evidence to
hold the men on charges of gambling,
but the vagrancy charges were made
to get them into court
I. On June 12th, the secretary of

In a raid of tho Chinese store at 2473
Grant avenue. This apparently point3
to the fact that the house is suspected
of a crime.
5. Again on October 1st, city po
lice raided the gambling place at 2150
Grant avenue and arrested nine Jap
anese -and one Chinese. They were
charged with vagrancy and paid 530
fine per head.
These are a part of the records con
cerning them, and more records could
be obtained at the municipal courL
I Fourthly, gentlemen of the Chinese
Merchant association and its legal ftd
I viser boldly said that there was no
sign up inviting people to gambling.
I would simply refer them to tho dis
trict court where. I understand, those
signs are kept in custody: They might
as well go to the court and "look at
them.
Last, but not tho least. I wish to
express my regret for the man who
wrote that letter for tho Chinese Mer
chant association.

SALT LAKE, Dec. 2 Something of
the experiences of the sanitary dotach
ment of the 145th field artillery (First
Utah) In dealing with tho influenza
Is contained in a letter received yes
tcrdav hv Mr. and Mrs. V. IT. Wilkin
son, 'mi South Tenth East street,
from their son. Mark C. Wilkinson, a j
member of that organization. A rec
ord for the handling of the disease
was made by the regiment, there hav--ing
been only fourteen deaths out of
a total of 1G00 cases. The methods
used by the sanitary detachment in
the care of the boys and the prescrip
tions of the army doctors are contain
ed in the letter. In part the letter
reads :
"If you only knew what a time wo
havo had with it (Influenza) you will
all be on tho lookout for It, Take lots
of laxative and keep tho nose and
throat washed out with hot salt wat
er. Do it five or six times a day.
"If any of you get the symptoms of
it start taking calomel In one-half
grain doses every half hour for five
doses and then two hours after the
last dose take epsom salts. Later bo
gin taking five grains of asperin and
five grains of quinine as one dose.
Take this every three hours until five
doses havo been taken and in tho
meantime keep in tho open as much
as possible and away from a hot room.
Go to bed outside if possiblo. tho main
thing being to keep dry and warm,
with lots of fresh air.
"Look out for the setback. That is
what gets 'em. They feel fine for two
or three days and then the fever jumps
to 102 or 103 degrees.
"To buiid up after an attack take
some tonic after each meal In water.
I Nine cases out of ten suffer from 8hh
I cough and a lame back after having mm
had an attack. Take asperin for three wfi
or four days and It usully relieves it. HB
