WASHINGTON. Labor - saving machines have displaced the hired girl in the typical American village home, a nationwide survey by the department of agriculture shows. There now are statistics to show that James Whitcomb Rileys childrens classic, Our Hired Girl, no longer portrays the typical in American village life, the department .said. She was the family factotum who lived in the household, cooked such good things to eat that the children iloitered about her kitchen table un- til she chased them away with such ; refrain as: Clear out of my way; theres time for work and time for playl ; Take your dough and run, child, run, I can't get no cooking done! jor Study 8,434 Families. In reaching its conclusion the de--1 partment studied household help of 8,434 white nonrelief fami--: lies in 140 typical villages in all sections of the country. The importance of our hired girl has decreased as services of commercial bakeries and laundries have increased, as canneries and garment factories have grown, and g as devices have come into the home, Dr. Louise Stanley, home economics director who super- vised the survey, said. Then, too, she added, many ia homemaker would rather spend for a car and widen her social contacts than to spend for a maid if (this means only leisure to sit on the front porch and watch the neigh--j bors ride by. Coast Areas Lowest. The New England and Pacific re-- gions were lowest in percentage of families having hired help and in av- -' erage amount spent. In the former only one in 25 families employed help. The average of all families was $54 a year. On the Pacific coast the percent-- i age of such families ranged from 4 in the low income bracket to 45 Jin the highest. Hired help for the housewife was slightly more prevalent in North Central, Middle Atlantic, Plains and Mountain states.

Policies of MAny Corporations Are Examined In the latest study, entitled Industrial Price Policlea and Economic Progress, specific Inquiries were made into the policlea of many manufacturing concerns to find out whether they were aimed In this direction. The study was made by Dr. Edwin G. Nourse, director of economic research, and Dr. Horace B. Drury, a member of the staff. It was financed under a grant by the Maurice and Laura Falk Foundation of Pittsburgh. Big corporations alnce the World "Just Bring In tha Piece" Essex, Conn. When John Pratt, with his wife and children and his household goods, moved to this viL lage in 1678 and set himself up as a blacksmith, he scarcely would have imagined that 250 years later there would still be, a blacksmith shop in operation on 'the same spot and that the proprietor would be his lineal descendant. Hundreds of persons stop every summer to ask about what is said to be the oldest business in the country that has always been in the hands of one family and to talk to James Lord Pratt, the present owner and eighth generation from the founder. Jim Pratt is not sure how many buildings the family has used in conducting the smithy business for two and a half centuries. The present shop, he knows, was built by his grandfather eighty years ago to take care of an iron business expanding with the building of clipper ships on the Connecticut river here. I shall have a shop which ia large and light, said that John Pratt It shall have many windows and large ones. It shall be of brick and it shall be large enough for four forges. Such a building was put up, and it is still sound. It had windows enough to permit work from daybreak to dusk. It was large enough to hold the years supply of iron, brought in by boat in the autumn, and once it did have four forges. One was used for horse and ox shoeing, one for wagon repairing and two for making iron mast bands and other ship fittings. Now modern machinery has been installed. An electric blower is concealed in the forge in place of the old bellows, and the smith uses a power hammer more often than the The atndy did not find that the per centage of the nation! business dolls hy giant" corporations haa been increasing.

Large corporation! are generally able to spend more freely to maintain competent technical and management staffs, and these companies have usually been In the front of price reduction. But smaller concerns also benefit from this large-scal- e production. With larger concerns purchasing their supplies in large quantities and planning production far In advance, smaller companies which sell them supplies and raw materials are In turn able to plan production on the moat economical basis. Many small concerns also find It easier to borrow money from local banka and other sources when they have contracts with large corporations. Operation of industrial enterprises at their practical capacity la necessary If the nation la to hava maximum production of goods, Jha report of the study says. Forwara-lookln- g price policies, constantly aiming toward giving the consumer more for hla money, were found to he the moat Important factor In bringing about capacity operation. The high level of employment which would come with such capacity operation would have far greater effect In raising living standards than any employment which the government could provide. Since 1870, while onr large corpora- tlona have been developing, the amount of manufactured goods which the average workers weekly wage would bny was multiplied by two and a half. At the same time, the working week waa reduced by about old anvil. It is five or six years since he shod his last horse, and it is a quarter of a century since oxen were shod in the shop.
