painfully munching on something.
His face was wry and his lips seemed

"Persimmons, SIR"

GERMAN COPPER
 MINES ACTIVE

Berlin, November 22.--(Correspondenee of the Associated Press.)-The famous Mansfield copper mines, near Eisleben, ere now working day and night shifts to turn out all the copper possible for Ger many's> military requirements. Under normal circumstances Germany produces only one-fifth as much copper a it con sumes, the mines at Mansfield yielding nine-tenths of the 45,00o tons annual pro- duction. This, 1t is thought, will be al- most doubled by pushing the mining at Mansfield to the utmost.
 These mines have been worked for more than 500 years. The ore Is of very low grade. seldom running above 3 per cent. and the ore vein Is not quite two feet thick. The ores would normally not even pay the expense of mining but for the fact that they contain small percentage of silver.
 Germany in times of peace is the largest consumer of copper in Europe, importing more than 100000 tons a year in addition to the home supply, and ranks next to the United States in world consumption. Foreseeing the Interruption of imports from the United States and other conn- tries, the German government at the be- ginning of the war pre-empted for mili- tary purposes all the copper in the coun- try. but now, notwithstanding the British attitude on contraband, sees It's way clear to liberating small quantities for commer- cial consumption. giving first considera- ton to such enterprises as are dependent upon a supply of copper for the continua- tion of their operations.

Minimum Wage Suggested

The majority of the mercantile board refused to entertain this novel interpre- tation of a living wage At the final meet
 ing the board adopted by majority of Il to g a recommendation of $s.65 per week as the minimum cost of living for espe- rienced female adult workers. Of ts's sum S2 was allowed for clothing, s4.s0 for board and lodging and Sl.S5 for miscel- laneous expenses
 By a majority of to the manufactur- ing board recommended wage of SS.io per week. In this estimate the weekly cost of clothing was put at H92. board and lodging at A.7b and miscellaneous expenses at S2.0S. The Duluth board adopted, by a vote of IS to 2, a recom- menda ton of SS.50 per week.
 In Minnesota the commission may es- tabish minimum wages without the in- tervention of any advisory board and even when 1t has set up such a board 1t may reject the recommendations of the latter and proceed to fix whatever rates 1t pleases. These optional and purely ad- visory features of the Minnesota boards seem to have distinct advantages. On the one hand they permit the commission to fix rates that are likely to be more uni- form than if the commission were re- stricted to the recommendations Of ad- visory boards. and they facilitate and sim plify the work of the commission. Thus, the estimate of the Duluth board was $S.5O. and of the manufacturing board of the twin cities sS.75; yet the cost of living in Duluth Is apparently slightly higher than in St. Paul and Minneapolis. The commission is able to correct dis erepanicies of this kind without goins to the trouble of referring the matter
 back to the old boards or setting up new boards.
 Too often the recommendations of the boards are likely to be compromises which are sometimes higher and some | times lower than the commission would | approve. Moreover. there are some situa- | tons In which the commission would find | the establishment of boards peculiarly | difficult; for example, in the smaller | cities scattered throughout the state | On the other hand, the fact that the l commission has the power to set up ad- vlsory boards enables 1t to get informa- ton about conditions and opinions which 1t could not obtain as fully or as easily without their assistance, and throws upon the boards part of the responsibility for whatever wage rates are finally adopted.
