Killed By An Automobile,

Mrs. Margaret A. Collins, IS years old
wife of c. Fenton Collins, a druggist was
knocked down and instantly killed Monday
nisht by an automobile at Rhode Island
avenue and Seventh street northwest
washington. The driver of the hieh-pow-
cred racing car which struck the woman
was arrested. He is Arthur L. Williams,
q years old.
Mrs. Collins was the daughter of the late
Albert King. who conducted a barbershop
in this town for years.
Mr.. Collins is a native of this county and
learned the drug business in the store of
the late DIR. D. F. Owens, in Rockville. He
is brother of Mr.. John Collins. a mer-
chant of this town.
Williams, with two friends in his car.
was driving eastward on Rhode Island
avenue, when Mrs. Collins essayed to cross
in front of him.
Referring to the speed with which Will
llams car was going when it hit Mrs
Collins. Coroner hewitt, after he examined
the body, remarked that the woman was
struck with such force that her death was
practically instantaneous. DR.. hewitt found
that her skull was fractured at its base,
and there was evidence of internal injuries.
Mrs. Collins was walking to the night
school, at Seventh street and Rhode Island
avenue where she was studying the en-
Droldery and fancy work methods TAUGHT
in the public schools. Evidently she did NOT
notice the approach of Williams car, and
1t is doubtful if she ever knew what hit
her, as the injury to her head indicated that
she was struck from behind Mrs. Collins
was thrown to one side. and Williams
Drought his car to stop 80 feet farther on.
williams companions jumped out of the
car and ran to the PROSTATE form on the
pavement, while Williams backed the auto
mobile to where the woman lay. After a
cursory inspection they placed the woman
IN the automobile and drove rapidly to
Garfield Hospital, where DR.. C. P. King said
she was dead.
Williams and his friends we're taken to
the Eighth precinct police station, where
the former was held, while the others were
released
For more than an hour Mrs. Collins
identity was not known to the police.
Then several persons who knew her at the
night school called at the station house
and identified small bundle of embroidery
which was picked up from the pavement
where the woman was knocked down. The
police found Mr.. Collins in his drug store
at 1901 New Jersey avenue northwest.
He went Immediately to the hospital,
where his wife's body lay. Mr.. Collins
was so overcome by grief that he was
hardly able to talk coherently.
Mrs. Collins lived with her husband and
their two children at 1927 North Carolina
avenue southeast. The children are Hugh,
8 years old, and Margaret, years.
A verdict of accidental death was re-
turned by the coroners jury on Tuesday.

A So Minimnm Wage.
From the New York World.

| a W." Wv ANS" AOth VOAiu'
Henry Siegel, the proprietor of depart.
ment stores with 5000 employees expresses
the opinion that If the minimum wage OF
| So day for women, which has been pro-
posed by the Illinois investigators, were
put into effect, women would be driven
from business places and men would take
their places In that event more women
will be upon the streets of our cities than
ever before in the history of the country. 81
This is obviously true. A minimum wage
of 81 day for women would mean an
annual minimum income of 1925. This is
above the average yearly earnings of men
in this country. AS men are stronger
than women and can do more work, the
natural tendency would be to substitute
them for women, unless the Legislature
also provided that no man should be en-
ployed at any work that woman could
do.
There is as much social danger in a mini
mum wage that is too high as in one that
is too low, and when government tries to
regulate wages the mischief is likely to
outweigh the benefits. Publicity is often
more profitable than legislation.
In Chicago many of the department
stores are making arrangements to increase
the pay of their women employees. Such
a movement would be general if all the
facts in regard to the exploitation of wo-
men and children could be brought to light
Public opinion would accomplish more than
law, because public opinion is stronger than
statutes and leaves degree of elasticity
always necessary to satisfactory adjust
ment Of wages.
Society is unquestionably moving toward
a more equitable division Of profits. In the
years to come, the share of mere capital is
going to be smaller and the share of labor
is going to be larger, whatever the sex of
the labor may be.

New Hope In Flexner.
From the Baltimore Sun of Sunday.

From the Baltimore Sun of Sunday.
That the discovery of the germ of infan.
tile paralysis by DR.. Simon Flexner, direc.
tor Of Rockefeller Institute for Scientific
Research, New York city, as announced BY
him before the Johns Hopkins Hospital
Medical Society Friday night last, is the
greatest encouragement yet given to the
hope for the production of vaccine which
will prevent that disease is the common
opinion in medical circles. in which the
keenest interest in DR.. Flexner's achieve
ment has been manifested.
In commenting upon the probable results
OF DIR, Flexner's discovery medical men
draw distinction between the cure and
the prevention of the disease.
A man of the highest standing in the
profession said he considered it extremely
doubtful whether an actual cure for the
disease-that is, remedy which would
save person infected with the disease
both from death and from the serious after
effects which are commonly suffered
throughout life by persons who have ex-
perienced infantile paralysis-would ever
be discovered.
What may be expected to result from
DIR. Flexner's work. according to this ply
stefan, who held the discovery of the germ
was an achievement of the highest scientific
value, is the perfection of method of i'm
munizine by which epidemics of the dis
ease may be prevented in the future, and
even sporadic cases prevented, if the use
of the antitoxin for the safeguarding of
children against the disease should become
general.
Such an outcome from DR.. Flexner's re-
search would not only greatly reduce NOR
tality, but it would do away with vast
deal of paralytic affection. visible signs of
which are the use of shoes with extended
heels and soles to overcome the disability
of legs left shrunken by the disease, and
the steel braces supporting knees and an
kles permanently weakened by its ravages.
Palsied arms and hands and other per-
manent effects of this disease which sell
dom fails to leave some such mark upon
a person who has been infected with it
may also become comparatively rare If the
accomplishment toward which DR.. Flexner's
discovery is believed to point the way is
achieved.
There has been no epidemic of infantile
paralysis in Baltimore. but sporadic cases
have been by no means uncommon. In
deed it was said yesterday there is seldom,
if ever. time when there are not some
cases in the city, and outbreaks elsewhere
indicate that an epidemic might occur
anywhere at any time.
An epidemic of serious proportions has
occurred in the past few years in New
York city, and last summer the disease
was reported epidemic at Buffalo and Nj
agara Falls. Such epidemics, it was
pointed out yesterday, might be forestalled
by the use of antitoxin generally in the
community when the first cases developed,
provided an effective antitoxin is found.
1t was also suggested that the immunizing
of infants might become so general as
practically to wipe out the disease alto

School Matters.

The Board of County School Commission
ers held regular monthly meeting in theiI
office on Tuesday.
| A large part of the day was devoted to
discussion of the Compulsory School At
tendance Law and the readiest method OF
enforcing same for the best interest of the
children Of the county and at the same
time cause the least friction.
A large delegation was present from the
vicinity Of Blar's school and earnestly
urged the Board to endeavor to relieve the
contested conditions existing in that school
II was pointed out that while small sum
was appropriated early in this school year
to partition what Is probably one of the
Oldest and most inadequate school houses
in the county to meet the expected de-
mands made on the school occasloned by
the new District law that those demands
were exceeded considerably school Of
about twenty scholars had developed into
one Of sixty-five in actual attendance, and
larger enrolment Is respected in the spring
term.
Practically the same conditions were
shown to exist in the school at Takoma
Park. which has grown from a one-r0om
school to a condition requiring four rooms
to meet even present conditions.
Representatives from Chevy Chase point
ed out for the consideration Of the Board
that the private dwelling used as a school
house temporarily will probably not be
sufficiently large 10 accommodate the in
creased number Of pupils there, even II the
building could be secured for another term,
which Is not probable.
Also the citizens Of Potomac are urging
that the schools in the immediate vicinity
~ ahA..lA ha nAnanltAofa1 nj ne
near Potomac. in order that the citizens
Of that vicinity may enjoy the same school
facilities as those accorded other sections
Of the county.
II was shown that in these and nearby
vicinities an increase Of six hundred pupils
over the enrolment Of last year already
had been made.
The board informed these applicants for
most urgent school facilities that II was
unable to grant these requests on account
Of lacks Of funds. II was pointed out that
the increased number Of pupils had neces-
STATED the appointment OF fifteen addi-
tional teachers, whose salaries. in addition
to equipment and other expenses, would
aggregate about S12, 900 more than was
provided for in the levy Of last June for
school purposes Before accepting further
responsibilities. the School Commissioners
suggested that the Board Of County Com
missioners, accompanied by the Board Of
School Commissioners, visit these several
localities and determine what relief shall
be given these petitionine taxpayers from
the present embarrassing situations. II was
agreed by the two local Boards TO fully in
vestigate conditions on Wednesday. March
28th.
The resignation Of Mr.. X. l.. Warfeld,
principal Of the commercial department at
Rockville, was accepted and Miss Edith
Bailey appointed TO fill the vacancy.
The usual routine business was trans
acted, pay roll and bills approved. The
Board adjourned 10 meet March 20, 1918.

From the Chicago News.


There is a growing movement in favor
of establishing by law a minimum wage
for working women. The movement will
continue to grow. Students of social con-
ditions advocate this important reform for
various reasons, some of the reasons being
deemed convincing by many. For one
thing, the woman who works must have a
living wage in order that she may retain
her health Again, if she is employed for
less money than she actually needs to pro-
vide her with decent living, she may be
driven into vice. Then there Is the ques-
ton of her limiting the field of employ
ment for men with families dependent
upon them by doing mems work at so
cheap price that, even though the work
is done badly, she represents substantial
saving to the employer.
The belief that too low wages for women
are morally, physically and economically
demoralizing is well founded. Because ii
is apparently needed for the protection of
the race and for other good reasons a
minimum wage for women is probably
bound to come. 1t is coming already.
Kansas, for example, has established SO
week as the minimum wage for women
in that State. A wage that is Just sufii-
Gent for women workers in an agricultural
Commonwealth like Kansas would prob
ably not be sufficient in Chicago, though
it might suffice for the rest of this State.
The Daily News, therefore, makes the sug-
gestion that those who are planning a
minimum wage law for Illinois consider
the advisability of fixing the minimum at
So week for Chicago and SO a week for
the State in general.
But there is talk Of making the rate $i2
week, at least in Chicago. Those who
advocate this So a day minimum should
bear in mind that the fixing of any mini
mum wage is radical departure from the
established practice. When one enters
upon a radical policy 1t should be tenn
pered with a considerable degree of con-
servatism. Establishing the principle of
a minimum wage is in itself long step
in advance. To make the wage too high
would be to defeat the whole movement.
On the other hand, to establish minimum
wage at lower rate than may prove
desirable after II is actually in force would
be a logical preparation for a further adj
vance in the light Of experience.
