Ninety per cent of the average man'st
salary is administered either directly
or indlrectly by women, according to
Prof. John L. Brumm, head of the
journalism department. Even a man's
neckties and suits are s-ubject to fem-
inine approval, so that collars are
about the only thing that the mascu-
line sex finds itself free to purchase.

Investigates Amount
Of Students' Sleep
According to investigations made by
C. C. Crawford, professor in the de-
partment of education at the Univer-
sity of Idaho, students as a whole
average 8 hours and 20 minutes sleep.
This conclusion was reached after an
analysis was made of student diaries
that had -been scientifically kept.
It was found that women students
averaged 55 minutes- a day "just talk-
ing," while men spent just 40 minutes.
On the other hand, men spent thnee
hours a day on amuseme t, which is
35 minutes more than the women stu-
dents.

since they control the purse strings,
though the ideal advertisement ap-
peals to women and, men both. For
this reason, the field of advertising
attracts many women who believe!
with good reason, according to Pro-
fessor Brumm, that advertisements
appealing to women should be writ-
ten by them.
For the first few years after they
leave college, many women write copy
which equals or excels that written
by men but in a short time they begin
to fall behind, due largely to the fact
that ! they have been writing at the
top of their capacity for some .time.
Imagination is much more fertile in
women than in men, is the belief of
Professor Tlrumm. They make use of
words such as "chic," "smart," and
"wonderful," almost a necessity to
their copy, while men are apt to use
more commonplace language.
Thus, such magazines as "Vogue,"
consisting of advertisements compos-
ed largely by women, and designed for
a class which is able to disregard
price, contains advertisements which
are sophisticated but appeal to the
emotions rather than the intellect.
Men, on the other hand, find it
MANY WOMEN ARE
EARNING OWN WAY
IN SMITH COLLEGE
Approximately two-fifths of the 2000
students of Smith college are success-
fully carrying on their college work
and earning all on part of their ex-
penses. Scholarships, loan funds, an-
nual prizes, and remunerative work
of many kinds help ambitious students
to reduce living expenses and obtain
financial aid.
The college itself has set aside a
sum of $100,000 each year for the
aid of properly accredited students
and in addition 15 annual scholar-
ships in music. There are also 35
other scholarship funds ranging from
$200 to $10,000 established by per-
sons or groups interested in the col-
lege. This year 64 seniors are on
scholarships, 73 juniors, 70 sophomor-
es, and 70 freshmen.
Three college houses are run on
plans different from those of other
dormitories and provide students with
less 'expensive board and lodging, by
allowing them to help with house-
keeping.
A loan library where students may
obtain textbooks, a Student Aid socie-
ty which loans to students of the
three upper classes and many oppor-
tunities for unskilled work offer other
means of saving or earning.
harder to arouse the emotions so that'
they use less glowing terms than the
women and attempt to sell the prod-
uct by showing its merit through
pointing out that it is the intelligent'
thing to buy.
This is the case of such magazines
as "Good Housekeeping," in which the
majority of advertisements are writ-
ten by men, and avoiddaltogether the
fluffy, emotional, and exaggerated
types of writing, which the average
woman of intelligence should, accord-
ing to Professor Brumm, consider as
an insult to her brain power.
However, the greatest reason that
women so often stagnate-or are forced
to leave the advertising field, Profes-
I sor Brumm believes, is that, once set-
tied in a position, they find it very
difficult to branch out into wider fields,
while men think nothing of changing
employers.
Thus, a few years after graduation,
women can still be found in their
original positions in department stores
or small firms, writing the same fluffy,
stereotyped copy as they did when
they were graduated, while men who
were in the same classes have gone
on up to better jobs with large manu-
facturing or advertising firms of
known quality.
Stugdents Keep Many1
Diaries, Avers Trow
Approximately one-third of all uni-
versity students keep diaries, accord-
ing to a research conducted by Prof.
William Clark Trow of the education
department. These statistics refer to
real diaries, and not the "line-a-day"
type, or calendar pads, which are now
very popular.
Professor Trow passed out a ques-
tionnaire on diaries recently among
members of Professor Adelbert Ford's
psychology 31 lecture section. From
this, he ascertained that 90 out of the
250 members of the class have kept
diaries. Contrary to the general be-,
lief that it is largely women who prac-
tice thi;s habit, as many men as wo-
men confessed that they did.

Soldiers, Sailors, Median Women, And
Ball Gowns Offered To
General Public
PRICES WILL BE MODERATE
Sailor costumes, soldiers' costumes,
the dresses of the Median women, and
the crimson ball gowns of the "old-
fashioned" chorus will go on sale from
3 to 5 o'clock Wednesday, May 2, in
Room C o - Newberry hall, along with
the remainder of the attire of the 24th
annual Junior Girls' Play, "For The
Love of Pete," which made its ap-
pearance here at the Whitney theater
March 19-24, and again for a special
showing last night.
The sale is particularly:appropriate
with the Architects' fancy dress ball
looming in the near distance, to be
more exact, set for May 11. Since
the costumes will fit anyone of aver-
age size, they should be in demand.
There are, in addition, a number of
larger and smaller than average sizes,
which should accommodate those buy-
ers.
The prices, accoroling to Hilda Mary
Evans, chairman of costumes, will be
exceedingly moderate, even inexpen-
sive. Those who saw the play during
its appearance at the Whitney will
remember the wide range of gay cos-
tumes which will go on sale Wednes-
day. There are blue sailors' suits, and
white sailors' suits, the almost Orien-
tal attire of the Median soldiers' chor-
us, and the, delicate though vivlId
dresses of the old-fashioned dancers.
Sentiment, historical value and
utility should go far to. make the com-
ing sale a successful one.
cent mind as revealed in diaries, Pro-
fessor Trow has already encountered
many problems. In the first place, the
questionnaire is of small value, unless
it is definitely established that the
psychology 31 class is a true cross-
section of the whole university. In the
second place, it is impossible to tell
how true a record the diary is, al-
though it is probably the most inti-
mate form of writing.
