BEAUTIFUL
Washington, D. C.—(CNS)—The
Women’s Bureau of the United States
Department of Labor presents some
interesting facts on women’s wages.
From surveys made early in 1920 to
early in 1925, Miss Elizabeth Pidgeon,
chief of the division of research,
makes a presentation in this report
that throws light on the understand-
ing and handling of our industrial
problems.
Pay-roll figures covering some 101,-
000 white women and 6,000 Negro
women have been assembled, analyzed
and correlated with industry, hours
and other industrial factors, and with
the age, nativity, and experience of
the employees.
PINEAPPLE FIZZ
2 cups water
14 cups sugar
1 quart ginger ale
1 can grated pineapple
Juice 4 lemons
Mix all the ingredients except the
ginger ale. Stir until the sugar is
dissolved. Add ginger ale. Pour into
glasses half filled with crushed ice.
*****
RASPBERRY ADE
Stew two cups raspberies with one-
half cup sugar and one cup water,
until berries are tender. Put through
a fine sieve and cool. Add juice of
two lemons and two oranges. Dilute
with plain ice water or mineral water.
Pour into glasses half filled with
crushed ice and serve. For a festive
touch, garnish each glass with a sprig
of fresh mint lightly dusted with pow-
dered sugar.
Since about 79,000 of the white
women and 3,000 of the Negro women
were employed in manufacturing in-
dustries, with the remainder in stores
and laundries, the bulletin shows a
good cross-section of the chief wom-
en-employing industries, and its fig-
ures converted to a 1928 basis give us
adequate and authentic facts that tell
the story of women’s wages at a re-
cent date. .
Wages were found to vary with in-
dustry and with locality. Highest
wages in manufacturing were found
in Rhode Island, New Jersey, and nuts and fill apple centers with mix-
Ohio, and lowest wages in Mississip- jture. Brush apples with melted but-
pi, Alabama and South Carolina.
In the manufacture of the cotton
textiles, hosiery and knit goods in-
cluded in the study, wages generally
were low. But the manufacture of
electrical appliances, rubber goods,
metal products, cigars and shoes stood
out as paying relatively high wages.
Earnings were shown to be more reg-
ular and at higher levels in general
mercantile establishments than in
manufacturing, but in the B-and-10-
cents stores wages generally were the
least of all.
That shorter working hours and bet-
ter ranges of payment tend to go hand
in hand is shown by the fact that
higher earnings were received more
frequently in the manufacturing es-
tablishments where reasonably short
hours prevailed,"and by the fact that
excessively long hours usually were
accompanied by low pay.
Many of the women workers were
young; in every state from one-half
to almost two-thirds of the women in
manufacturing were under 25. Wag-
es are shown to increase with years
of work experience until a period of
10 and under 15 years was reached,
after which they declined. For wom-
en of about 40 wages undergo a mark-
ed decline—thus growing old in in-
dustry appears to be a matter of
great economic uncertainty. Wages
of Negro women were everywhere ex-
tremely low. In each of eight states
over 100 Negro women were reported"
in manufacturing industries, the med-
ian week’s earnings for these women
ranging from $4.89 in S. C., to $8.92
in Ohio. The largest proportion of
women in each state earned under $8.
In six states larger proportions of
the women in laundries than of those
in manufacturing earned under this
amount.

MAY BE HARLEM’S FIRST
RACE SCHOOL PRINCIPAL
New York City.—(CNS)—The pos-
sibility of Harlem getting its first
colored woman principal of an ele-
mentary school seemed almost certain
here last week.
Four years after she had been first
examined as a candidate for princi-
palship in elementary schools, and a
year after an appeal fight, Mrs. Ger-
trude E. McDougald Ayer, assistant
principal of public school No. 90, has
been licensed by the board of examin-
ers to qualify as a principal.
Mrs. Ayer, after passing a written
test in 1927, was denied her license
on the grounds of insufficient meri-
torious record” because the white prin-
cipal under whom she worked did not
rate her high enough on the blanks
sent him by the examiners. Follow-
ing a recent hearing in which the
principal is said to have given her a
rerating resulted in the license being
granted.
Mrs. Ayer has been in the school sys-
tem for 18 years and her record shows
only 20 days absence in that time.

COOKING SCHOOL
The cooking school conducted for
three days at Corsicana by Mrs. Lis-
ter, the home demonstration agent,
proved to be one of the most helpful
activities she has yet conducted in her
county. Sixty-five women and girls
received the instructions. She was
aided in the work by Mrs. V. A. Shel-
ly, a teacher at Jackson High, and
Mrs. Graham, an excellent pastry
cook. A general vote of thanks was
given these ladies by those who so
greatly profited by the service they
gave.

KITCHEN IMPROVEMENT
Twenty-six enthusiastic club women
of Rusk County gave inspirational
talks at a county club meeting dur-
the past month, on the inexpensive
improvements they have made in their
kitchens and how these improvements
have altered the appearance of their
homes. Many others are working to-
ward this same end.

HOME BEAUTIFICATION
As a result of the efforts of the
home demonstration agent of San
Jacinto County, Miss H. Dirden, Thad
Nighton has remodeled his entire
home, making of'it a beautiful five-
room cottage. It was formerly a 8-
room boxed house. He is also mak-
ing general outside improvements.
HOME GARDENS
Sixty-three club girls were reached
by Mrs. L. E. Lusk of Washington
County in her home garden work last
month. All of these girls are con-
ducting garden plots under the agent’s
supervision and the gardens are do-
ing wall.,

FOOD PRESERVATION
Six hundred four cans of English
peas, 47 quarts of beets and 53 quarts
of dewberries were put up by club
members of Waller County during the
past month. Food preservation is now
well under way in this county.
