ing girls and women of the UNDER
world that low wages open the door
that leads to lives of vice for girls.
and faced with admissions from de-
partment store and factory owners
that they are underpaying their en-
ployees, but cannot help themselves.
the Illinois probers have put it up
to the President that the problem
they are trying to solve is one that
no State can solve by itself. They
are showing to Congress that Fed
eral action alone can solve this big
question.
It is not at all likely that Congress
will be able to ignore this subject.
The President has promised to
gravely consider action on the mat
ter. He is asked to recommend to
Congress the creation of a Federal
commission to investigate the whole
question of the relation of low wages
to social and moral problems. He
will probably do SO.
Insoead of being able to confins
the action of Congress and the in
terest of the country to tariff Leg
islation, there is every probability
that both Congress and the Presi-
dent will have to give heed to public
opinion, and take up the questions
which are causing the average citi-
zen more concern than is the tariff
The creation of such a commission
as proposed would probably bring
about a revolutionary conception of
social and economic questions. When
President Roosevelts commission on
country life made its report the. evil
denee il presented of social and
moral conditions was so startling
that the standpatters in Congress
refused to permit its distribution, on
the plea that the testimony and facts
presented were unfit for the public to
read.

Cheaper Gas.

Cheaper Gas
To the Editor of the Evening Star:
have read Mr.. II. B. Walkers ar
ticle on gas rates, but he failed to
enlighten us on the original reason
why some stocks and bonds represent
no investment. The fact that gas
can be made and sold for less than
80 cents per 1000 cubic feet is we'll
known, but how we may obtain a
cheaper rate is another story.
Gas at the beginning, like every
other new discovery, was ridiculed by
men of talent and education. In Lon
don, England, When William Muir
coch, the diseoverer of coal gas, pro-
posed to light the city with gas,
many jokes were made about the abb
surdity of lighting London with fire
of wind" Napoleon ridiculed it and
said, 'C'est une grande folie," and
| Sir Waiter Scott, in writing to a
friend, remarked: There is a mad
man proposing to light London with
what do you think? Why, with
smolxe!" Nevertheless the said Sir
Walter had it piped into Abbottsford
shortly after.
Nine years after the experiments in
| England (1S06) David Melville, of
| Newport, r. l., used coal gas to light
his premises OF course the appara-
| tus was very crude, but Melville
made several improvements from
time to time, and in 1918, 100 years
ago, ne secured a patent. Thus from
a commercial point of view this year
is the hundredth anniversary.
Gas was employed to light cotton
mill in Watertown, Mass, in 1918, and
shortly after was used in mill near
Providence, r. l., and in 1917 a light
house was illuminated by it. In 1916 a
company applied for charter in the
city of Baltimore, Md, and in 1921 a
company was formed in Boston,
Mass. New York city first used gas
| light in 1928. Several years later
| companies were formed in Brooklyn,
| n. Y, and Bristol, r. l., and twenty
nine years after gas was first intro
! duced in this country New Orleans
began TO use it. The good people of
Philadelphia placed gas in the same
class at guncotton and called 1t a
very dangerous commodity, unfit to
| be used by servants. However, after
| rejecting it in 1903 and again in 1917,
! they passed an ordinance, March 81,
1885, for the construction of works,
which were completed February 8,
| 1886.
The growth of The gas industry at
first was very slow, and to obtain
money to build and equip works it
was necessary to sell bonds. and to
get people TO buy these bonds few
! hundred shares were thrown in for
nothing. 1t is these very same shares
! of stock that now constitute the
water" and to get rid of the water
and obtain cheaper gas rates there is
only one way-municipal ownership.
1t may interest many to know that
| the largest contract in the history OF
the gas industry was recently made
between the Ford Motor Company
and the gas company of Detroit,
Mich The price agreed upon was 80
cents per 1000 cubic feet.
Do we, the people of Newark, want
municipal ownership? Don't all an
swer at once.

WASHINGTON, MAR. "a.
Curiously enough, one of the Pro-
gressive issues of last falls campaign,
which President Wilson at the time
declared to be fallacious and wrong,
has suddenly become a matter of such
! widespread interest that he may join
in the movement to force the adop-
ton of the Bull Moose reform.
Minimum wages for women was one
OF the issues made most prominent by
Colonel Roosevelt and other Bull
Moosers in the. prediction canvass.
1t was urged by the Progressives that
a minimum wage was necessary to
enable working women to live in de-
cency and comfort, that its adoption
would go far towards destroying a
great cause of immortality and curbins
white slave traffic, and that increased
minimum wages for women would re-
suit in increased wages for workers
of all ages and both sexes. This ar
gument was denied by Mr.. Wilson
during the campaign. Now the issue
has been brought into such promi-
nence that it attracts much more in
terest and attention than the tariff.
Despite the program of the Demo-
cratic leaders to concentrate public at
tention upon tariff revision, it is adj
mitted on every hand that the tariff
is not exciting much interest among
the people, and that the two big top
les of most general interest through
out the country are the suffrage issue
and the vice problem.
The discovery by the Illinois legis-
lative commission investigating the
white slave traffic that low wages for
working women is the greatest single
cause of vice, and the transfer by the
commission of its operations to the
national capital, Is forcing the wage
problem into a prominence that isytak-

EVERYBODY TATTOOED

Tattooing is performed with greater
skill in Burmah than in any other
country except Japan. Nearly all of
the inha bitants, but especially the
men, are deliberately ornamented
from waist to the knees with droop-
ing flowers, coiling snakes, half
moons and various other figures. The
operation is considered practically a
necessity and boys are usually SUBJ
jected to a course of decoration at
about the age of l.. An artist with
skill, according to the purse of the
father, is hired and the child is given
an anesthetic, as the play of the
needles is exceedingly painful. 1t
takes two or three days to complete
good job. All Burmese gentlemen
are very proud of their ornamenta-
ton.
