PENROSE LYLY When the first lady of the land asked a short time ago if it wouldn’t be wise for husbands to pay their wives a salary, she raised a cloud of unthinking dust. Men stormed and women applauded. And in our popular American way we tried to answer her question on the theory that marriage is either a romantic adventure, an escape from reality, or else a form of slavery in which the male is dominant in property rights. Most intelligent students of marriage agree that the majority of happy marriages can be found among two classes of people. The very simple, hardworking gorup and the highly intelligent modern married group both seem to show excellent records in stay ing married. And in both these groups mar riage is regarded more as a life partnership than as any romantic escape or form of slavery. The very simple and hardworking group may not give much thought to the whys and wherefores. But they seem to live on the theory that life is hard and that whatever property they have belongs to both the man and wife and must be cherished and guarded by both of them equally. They would not understand why a wife should be paid a salary, nor why a man should consider his earned salary as his own property. It belongs to the partnership—man and wife. The highly educated and socially adjusted metropolitan group of married people have much the same conception of wedlock. It is a delightful and comfortable partnership to which they both give their earnings and thought. They would not agree that a wife should receive a salary. She owns half of the estate, half of everything either or both bring to the family. If you look about carefully and study these groups you will see that the theory of partnership which holds them together in a progressive union is a stirring and valiant sight. Farmers' Income Increases Through Bottled Milk Sales The chart below shows how dairy farmers receive much more for milk sold in fluid form, wholesale or home delivered, than for milk sold in the form of cream and other milk products. The chart was compiled from an eastern state milk control report which analyzed one month's operations of 21 milk companies. Each upright bar represents a portion of a milk distributors business. The total height of each bar, including both the shaded portion and the white portion, com pares the selling price of milk per quart, depending on the form in which it is sold. The horizontal width of the bars portrays the relative importance of each type of sale to these milk companies’ total business— that is, how much of their total milk pur chases they sold as fluid milk retail, fluid milk wholesale, as cream, etc. (Hove oeuvearo * tr ' yWholcsalC \sauacomeAfues uMK/N to L snuNf, rf.ur \ utii oeeAAtiHQ tnnout 1 »o"foft'vf»fD S '“% C A% “c\ VZ r*, (f ran. co">*u, ei . fPAY KJP "UK AT rut!A v/e I arr Pusurs HO" l 1 WMOIfSAIt (Ofl tviocc • 5 - *oaSAti ' t 07t 2*2 % ?j 2*.

The shaded portion of the bar depicts the proportion of the total selling price (as rep resented by the heigh: of each bar) these companies paid for milk. The white portion represents the part of the total selling price the companies needed to pay for wages, light, heat and power, gas, bottles, cartons, repairs and other operating costs. It also shows the different selling prices the milk companies receive—the lower wholesale prices per quart and the mush lower selling prices per quart for milk sold in the form of butter, canned milk, cheese and the like. » The last bar on the right shows the re lationship between the companies' average selling price per quart for all milk sold and the proportion of this selling price they paid for the milk they purchased.
