This is Mother's Day and our
son Bob was home for the week-
end -so that made it a very nice
mother's day indeed. What made it
even better is the fact that he is
through with the North country far
awhile. Only from now on we shall
hardly know where to find him for
two weeks in succession: That is
how it is with road construction
jobs -here today and gone tomor-
row. For fellows who are incur-
ably foot -loose it is. a good way to
see the country without fear of
getting tired of any one place.
It has been a bright, sunny day
and the nice weather brought us

only meant putting a couple of e::-

ago a big grey squirrel came racing
along the fence and then had a
great time leaping from tree to
tree. Just as he approached our
big poplar two starlings flew out
and attacked hint. I never saw
anything alive move faster than
that animated streak of grey fur.
Presently he disappeared and while
I was trying to figure out where
the squirrel was hiding 1 noticed a
little wee bird on a fir tree branch.
It had its hack to me and I thought
it was a little house wren but then
as it turned I noticed it had a red-
dish patch on its head. I must con-

Housewives Classed
As "Unemployed"
"Hen tell you he won't work
Saturdays," said the bus driver,
"but by the tune he does the shop-
ping and the other errands down-
town the missus sends him for, he
might as well have gone to works."
"Yup, that's the catch in the
five-day week," his friend replied.
"If you aren't working for the boss,
the old lady has plenty of things
to keep you busy."
We thought of that when we
say the Iowa Employment Secur-
ity Commission figure of 84,950
for "non-farm employment" in Polk
county this February, and an esti-
mated 90,600 for next June.
It is regular statistical practice
not to c housewives as em-
ployed. Thee are practical statis-
tical reasons for this.
But economically it doesn't make
sense. The simple economic truth
is that most housewives are not
fully employed themselves. they are
also employers.
They are engaged simultaneously
in several dozers branches of pro-
duction and transportation indus-
tries, service trades, and profes-
sional service. No task make great-
er demands on intelligence, charac-
ter. judgment, spirit or sheer phy-
sical vitality.
Housewives Iet out some of their
'work on contract, they hire some
of it done by skilled labour, some
by unskilled. some by child labour.
Some they get done without any
cash outlay. by delegating it to their
husband or their children.
They are no longer the handi-
craft labour they once were. Many
of their operations are highly spe-
cialized. If you totalled the horse-
;; power their operations consumed,
i• would be no mean figure.
But their work is so varied, and
so much of it is "custom-tailored"
tie a particular person or situation, -
that. there is a terrific amount of
hand and arm and back work left
in it. In percentage of mechaniza-
tion. as its hours on duty, their task
ranks with the more backward em-
ployments recognized by the sta-
tisticians.
Vet it differs from those sharply
in one major respect -the housewife
is self-employed. She. sets her own
tasks, and does them at h.er own
pace. Some of them still allow
tradition and the expectations of
their selfish families to drive them
to fantastic efforts -bat the oppor-
tunity to stop, to -low down, to
break down, or to brow up is h'
hereat in the housewife's positiali.
And once she abandons some par-
ticular task, the family rinds out
soon enough what the value of her
services was!
So rally 'round, boys. -Chun . : l:•
end chores are a small price for
enlisting her freely given enterprise.

The Old Sap House
When 'arch .aerived with its'
warm stria that thawed days while
it was cold enough to freeze nights,
ue took up the business of syrup -
making in earnest.
Tice sap ltouse was at the foot
of the slope. It was alinost buried
in a thicket of young hemlocks that •
had started up after the hardwood
trees had been cut down. The heat
locks broke the force of the wind,
and the sun shone in, making it
very pleasant.
In the sap house was a store of
dry wood gathered the previous
year and a brick arch with three
kettles set in it. The one over the
door was the largest and the far-
thest was known as the' 5 sugaring -
off" kettle. ;.'here were a couple of
bunks near the roof :for the meal
who attended to boiling off. I
used to think it was very convenis
ent and comfortable.
The crust on the snow was hard
enough to hold up the calves that
were used to haul the load and we
would drive around through the
woods, bore a hole in a tree, put in
a spile, and set up a trough, or
maybe a pan, to catch the sap.
We would get., back to the house
before the snow softened enough so
it would not hold the calves, and
late at night after it had grown
cooler so that the crust would hold
again I would fasten our old churn
to my calf sled and go out and
collect sap from the trees we had
tapped in the morning. The sap
would be poured into the big kettle
and, if we had enough to be worth
while, a fire would be starters , .
When they awakened they 'would
fill it up again, and in the morning
the sap would be much reduced in
quantity. It would take a lot mare

Pottery .Miracle
When Lord Gower's table was
set in 1765 with a complete dinner
service of the new Queen's ware, as
Wedgwood called his cream colour,
it was the subject of conversation
among his guests for a long time
and a landmark in social and in-
dustrial history. In a surprisingly
short time it was exported to many
parts of the world; .over a hunderd
English and Scottish potteries were
making it; and in America it became
the standard of excellence for pot-
ters.
The potter who performed this
miracle of the substitution of dishes
of opaque„ cream-coloured baked
clay for those of materials gener-
ally regarded as more precious was
josiab Wedgwood, who surpassed
all potters in modern times in the
variety and sustained artistic quality
of his productions and inthenum-
ber of improvements and inventions.
Wedgwood was a good business
ratan and executive, yet he was also
an able artist, a dreamer, and a
man of vision. He wrote that he had
ten thousand beautiful forms in his
mind which nobody had ever dream-
ed of and that he could see im-
measurably farther than he would
ever be able to travel.
After he perfected the coarse
cream colour and presented it as the
fine Queen's ware, they crowded
his rooms in Bath, in Dublin, in
Liverpool, and in London to see
whole dinner sets of it.
'.There were other exhibitions of
new bodies and techniques, but the
one which probably produced the
most excitement was that of jasper,
not invented until 1775 when Wedg-
wood's fame was well established
far- beyond England. -- From
"Wedgwood," by -lean Got'ely.
