he made of them, at any rate. If he
was a Scythian. The Scythian prac-
tice described by Herodotus has been
claimed by some as the first recorded

kind of hemp that grew in the coun-

hemp, go into their tents and then
throw the seed upon the stones heated

EGGS BY THE YARD.
Korea Also Produces Oysters That

the steward that day on his marketing
trip. and when the eggs were asked
for the grocer reached down in a bar
rel and brought ont the end of a
large straw rope He measured off the
required length on the counter, just as
a dry goods store clerk would measure
off cloth. rolled it up and put it in the
basket without smile The eggs were
inside of this hollow straw rope, with
a string tied on the outside of it be
tween each egg. This effectually pro
tected the eggs from being broken
while handling
Another day my hostess ordered two
small oysters for dinner. This or
der caused me TO wonder little, for |
knew that there would be seven to
dine, besides the servants. but when
the oysters arrived all was explained
for one weighed four and a half
pounds, and the other five pounds. On
inquiry | was informed that some of
the oysters on the northern side of
Korea weigh as much as ten pounds

Low PAY EFFECTS
Underlying Principles of the Mini
mum Wage.
STRENGTHENS THE RACE.
Industry That Cannot Pay a Fair
Wage Is Parasitic--ln Effect 1t Ex
acts Subsidy From the Community.
A Nations Most Costly Production.


Discussing some of the fundamentals
that under!ie the principle of mini
mum wage. Mrs. Margaret Dreier Rob
ins in her address as president of the
National Women's Trade Union league
at the annual convention spoke of a
living wage as one of the important
means of strengthening the race.
The industry she said which can
not pay Il fair wage is parasitic and
through its public or private charities,
through its clinics and hospitals,
through its reformatories and prisons,
through its almshouses and homes for
the aged. We are living in the midst
of wealth producing. poverty breed
ing. industrial chaos. The demand for
the minimum wage OH the part of the
general public is simply the statement
that it Is tired Of substituting indus
tries.
Through such subsidies it has ena-
bled many an employer with no busi-
ness qualification whatever nor knowl-
edge nor judgment TO open an indus
try. put the wages as low as condi-
tions permit quite certain that the
community will bear the burden. 1t
would seem that training school for
employers is as essential to the well
fare of the community as a trade
school for workers Just as the most
important knowledge to the worker Is
the value OF his or her labor power. SO
the most important knowledge TO the
employer is that a living wage is the
first charge upon any industry
Mrs Robins called attention to the
fact that in 1908 the first industry to
come under the minimum wage act in
England was that of chainmaking,
done largely by women. The wage
should be doubled who were these
women so exploited?" Mrs Robins
asks "They were the mothers of
those men whom the English army
would not accept into its service dur.
Ing the Roer war because they did not
come up to the physical standard de
manded Three times the British army
has had to lower its requirements of
physical strength. for the men could
not measure up to the standard de-
manded. But these woman chainmak
ers were not only mothers of sons
they were also mothers of daughters
the mothers of girls, potential moth
ers of another generation. each one
representing a lowered vitality and
constant trend toward degeneracy."
Mrs Robins concludes that 'the most
costly production of any nation and It's
most valuable asset is not its annual
output Of corn. neither the wheat
harvest nor the yield Of coal or cot
ton, but it's output Of men and women.
Upon the quality of each generation
depend the strength and greatness of
the nation. This we recognize by pro-
viding that the state shall care for
the health of the people and contribute
to their education. Is it not therefore,
time for us to insist that the state
cannot afford to put in so great an In
yestment only to reap the continuous
loss Of the defeated young lives that
go under In the Industrial world?
