Senators Urged to Study Morgenthau Silver Purchases
Washington notes Treasury Secretary Morgenthau has bought just under 60 million dollars of silver since 1934. Silver stock rose from about 900 million to a 1.5 billion value, aiming for a 3.6 billion target to reach a 1 to 3 ratio with gold, which would require over three years at current rates. Reaching the goal would require large metal imports and could affect China, Mexico, and India.

Dorothy Dix on the domestic woman and legal liberty
The columnist argues women face frustration despite the revered domestic role. She cites a judge ruling that a working wife earned personal liberty alongside her pay, while husbands could seek divorce only for marital wrongs. The piece critiques social expectations of wives and mothers.
Self-Supporting Wives Challenge Traditional Marriage Roles
Dorothy Dix argues that married women perform exhaustive unpaid labor and are habitually viewed as dependents. She notes that financially independent wives now push back, claiming control over their own money and decisions, challenging the dominance of husbands in household authority.
The Value of Women’s Work and Financial Independence
The text argues that a woman’s essential contribution is creating a happy home and raising children, yet true independence stems from earning money. It notes that financial autonomy changes a wife’s status in marriage, influencing dynamics and power. It contrasts dependent wives with working women who can leave abusive or unsatisfactory arrangements.
