PHRASE PROVED AN OLD ONE
Sultan Of Turkey Known as the "sick
Man Of Europe" in the Seven
teenth Century.

Now a collector of old prints
comes forward with the proof that
the expression, "the sick man Of Eu-
rope" so persistently applied for
years to Turkey, really dates back to
the seventeenth century, when John
Sobieski drove back the Turks from
the gates Of Vienna. He shows an
old engraving with the Turk on his
sick bed in the center and the doc
tors representing all the nations of
Europe gathered about him. As has
been the case ever since, they cannot
agree as to the treatment. All want
to make an end of the Turk; but the
Spaniard wishes to apply a bomb,
the Pole wishes to give him steel,
the Prussian would stife him with
his cloak, etc. Change the names
and costumes of the doctors, and this
cartoon of nearly three centuries age
would answer for any of the numer-
Gus congresses that have since ther
attempted to settle the vexing east
ern question.

Also, Basch gave the commission
the interesting information that
there are no empty stomachs in
Chicago" a thing those with what
they thought were empty stomachs
doubtless will be glad to learn.
But where Basch got himself all
into tangle was in trying to explain
how foolish minimum wage law
would be.
you must take into account the
apprentices and the idle and shift
less" he said. 81 am very earnest
now; very sincere A minimum wage
law might be good for some, but it
would be bad for the 40 per cent of
employees who are idle and shiftless. "
"Hm," said O'Hara, what do you
do with girls whom you employ and
who prove to be idle and shiftless?' "
why, -ah-put ginger into
them,'' said Basch.
"Quite So" said O'Hara, "and how
do you put the ginger into them?
ask because we found one factory
where they put ginger into girl en-
ployes by throwing them on the floor
and things like that
'Why, we have a school," said
Basch, which is under our super
intendent and a number of verJ
capable women. By precept and ex-
ample, we teach the girl. Possibly
the girl is not fitted for work in a
store. We find that out"
The more Basch talked along this
line, the more apparent it became
that no idle or shiftless' girl was al
lowed to hang around Siegel, Cooper
& Co.'s, and Basch's 40 per cent of
employees dwindled to 0 per cent.
But 1 can assure you that the
young girls are very glad to come

Ed Lehman, with his too carefully
brushed hair, and too carefully press

than Basch.

said O'Hara. But I'm talking about
the average"
ooh, of course, there are men
whose intelligence is too low ever
to be worth any more than SIS a
week or so, men of the lower class,
who really belong to the laboring
class. They haven't got the inteIli-
gence to be worth more than a small
salary"
81 am talking about the average
man." said O'Hara. you told the
commission a few minutes ago that
the average salary paid your men en-
ployes is $17.39 a week. Isn't it true
the average man has no chance for
more?"
Lehman fioundered hopelessly.
well, you see," he said, at last, Tin

How about a minimum wage
