BY Or. Theresa MacMahon.

The industrial welfare commission
law, commonly spoken of as the min
imum wage law, states, 1T shall be
unlawful to employ women workers
in any industry within the state of
Washington at wages which are not
adequate for their maintenance.
1t is generally believed-and rightly
so-that there are many working girls
employed in the industries of this
state who are receiving less than a
living wage as a recompense for their
labor. To remedy this social evil, the
people insisted that the legislature
pass a law making such a wage lille
gal The industrial welfare commits
sion was appointed to carry out the
spirit of this law, and TO this end, an
investigation has just been made to
determine under what wage conditions
girls are working, and what is a suffi-
cient wage to maintain them ade-
quately.
1t has been found necessary on the
part of all states, and all countries
establishing minimum wages to make
special concessions to those unfor-
tunate ones who are physically unfit
to earn even a minimum wage but if
allowed a special license could en-
gage in useful occupation, thus MAX
ing the burden of their support some
what less.

How to Cook Asparagus.

The very best method of boiling as
paragus is first to wash. scrape and tie
INTO a bundle, and then plunge the stalks
INTO a vessel of boiling water. allowing
the tips to come above the water The
steam vii! be sufficient to cook these
tender parts. Serve on toast or with melt
ed butter In Europe a little butter is
placed on the edge of the plate and the
hot head of asparagus dipped into it be-
fore eating. but in this country a white
sauce usually accompanies this dish.
An economical way, and when there
are children more convenient way also
is to cut the tender parts into short
lengths and cook in the least quantity
of sailed water possible. 1t should be
done in about twenty minutes when 1t
is taken from the liquor and the latter
thickened with a little -four, butter and
cream. The asparagus is laid upon
toa sted bread and the sauce poured over.
In this way one gets the fuH benefit of
every bit of the vegetable, while tougher
portions can be made into a nice aspara-
gus soup
To make this cook the stalks in sailed
water until tender and press through a
sieve. Put two cups of milk over the
fire. milk and white stock mixed
When il boils stir in two ia blespoonfuls

The blouse has sides of the dyed lace

JAPANESE NOVELTIES.
GROTESOTE pLAOTES

Among the picturesque Japanese
novelties for the walls are srotesaue
PLAQUES with grimacing faces. Colored
prints showing different phases Of the
home life of Japan are another fad of
the decorator These have passe par

ed that they resemble hand paintings.

lows for seats of chairs and low stools.
Brilliant colors in unique patterns

Many different kinds of trinket boxes

Another Japanese wood which is ex
eeedingly light in weight. shapes big
boxes and handsomely carved trays
showing the head of a rabbit or the
outlines of a lobster. A high veneer
finishes the brilliantly red surface.
Very unusual is a set of gongs for a
dining room having the figure of an
oriental man or woman cut from pol

four bells in its outstretched hand
New Japanese curtains made from
strings of wood and glass beads are
wonderfully decorative with quiet de-

mere suggestion Of gracefully droop

Leo Frank, Who May Be Executed
And Other Men and Boys Who Are
Dying Body and Soul of Social Wrongs
BY HERBERT QUICK.

The whole nation is excited about
the case OF Leo Frank, OF Atlanta.
He Is young Jew of good charac-
ter, who is accused Of foully and de-
generately staying a young working
girl.
An eloquent prosecuting attorney
got him convicted on the evidence OF
criminal Negro who lied over and
over again. Public anger against the
murder, rather than the murderer,
coupled with some anti-Jewish feel
ing, enabled this eloquent lawyer TO
get from jury a verdict that this
miserable witness told the truth when
he said Frank did the deed, and lied
when he said something else.
| think there Is very little probabil-
ity that this unfortunate young man
is guilty think he has been rail
roaded to a conviction. And think

find them. And the women OF their
class-who can tell of the mysterious
dreadfulness of their passing away
from the scenes OF their long dissolu-
ton?
And yet, We who greedily read OF
the efforts TO save Leo Frank. refuse
to concern ourselves much with the
throng of birds OF the shadows who
are lost every night in the tempest OF
this modern life
Perhaps" one may say. we feel
a sense of guilt at the thought that
the law we have made takes hold OF
Leo Frank and kills him wrongfully."
But are we not equally to blame on
account OF the entombed miner. the
voorhees, outcast, the woman trampled
into the mire, the hobo engulfed in
the social quicksand?
Unless civilization Is a delusion and
Christianity a fraud, we are as much
10 blame in the one case as the other.
But we may cry ont for Leo Frank
and spare not without disturbing any
body's vested rights. When we come
to the salvation Of the poor and disin-
herited we attempt to make an ONE
lette for the construction OF which we
must break eggs.
That's why we prefer 10 specialize
on Leo Frank.
