CAN LIVE ON So A WEEK.
Schedule Of Girls Necessary Elk
penses Submitted to Vice Probers.

CHICAGO, March 11.-Wnliam C.

Ward & Co., mail-order house, told the
Pvice commission yesterday that a girl
''adrift' can live, on IS week thus:
Room rent, So; breakfast Coffee and rolls),
40 cents; luncheons. 80 cents; dinners
81. 40; car fare. 60 cents; clothing and in
cidentals, $1.7O.
The witness gave the foregoing state
ment to show that the commissions idea
that there should be a minimum wage
scale for women OF $12 a week is toe
high. The. figures given, he said, were
the actual expenditures of one of his
1873 female employees. Another girl en-
ploye disbursed her wages as follows:
Room and board, $3.50; laundry, &c
cents: car fare. 20 cents; clothing an in
cidentals. $3.50; savings. % cents.
The statement fails to account for a
surplus Of cents, but this was not ex-
planned and Senator Beall remarked that
the girl probably spent it frivolously.
The witnesses yesterday in addition to
Thorne were James Simpson, George Lyt-
ton, Joseph Basch. John +. Prize, E. j.
Lehman. Henry c. Schwab. Albert Ell
linger, all representing department stores
and employing thousands OF girls and
women. There were no witnesses from

would consider it as the future home OF
his department.
The Department of Commerce will be
housed in a new building now going uI

It was said this morning that this de
partment probably would get into it,
new quarters by next September Then
II Secretary Wilson decided 1t woult
suit his purposes, and provided Congress
makes no other provision for quarter!
for the baby department. he could taxi
the Willard, building.
Although the new department as We
has no appropriation, Secretary Wilson
is having the matter of quarters looked
into with a view to getting the depart
ment and the bureaus under 1t settled
as soon as possible.

CLEARING HOUSE" WORK
Cabinet Considers Depart

Regarding Postmasters.

The cabinet today did some clearing
house work in line with the President 8
idea of the functions Of that body. This
work related to host of things in
process of determination in the de-
partments as to policies, appointments,
etc. Postmaster General Burleson pre-
scented to the President his recommen-
dation for the nomination Of a pur-
chasing agent in that department and
this will be sent to the Senate.
Postmasters and Civil Service.
Mr.. Burleson said today that the ad.
ministration has not yet reached a de-
cision as to what 1t will do about the
attempt to have President Taft's order
putting $4,000 fourth-class postmasters
under civil service revoked. He said his
own view was somewhat in sympathy
with the proposition that postmasters
inclined to doubt whether $4,000 men
should have been permanently fixed by
the Taft order without some sort of ex.
animation as to their merit and fitness.
That was not, in his opinion, a good ex.
ample of recognition Of fitness In office.
Examinations Probable.
The intimation contained in the brief
statement Of Mr.. BLrleson is that some.
thing may be done to compel On examina'
ton OF the fitness of the 5000 postmas
tiers before the order giving them protec
ton Of the civil service is allowed to be-
come final.
