ployeos In the lines studied are women

tirely dependent upon their own earnings.

OF $1,000 female employees In industrial
lines. 5000 got less than $3.50 during the

Here is typical weekly budget that
shows how near the ragged edge many
exist: Clothes. $3.50; room. So. food,
$3.50: carfdre, 80 cents, iucid"ntals. 20
cents. Total. $3.50. Such a slender mar
gin allows but the scantiest provision for

many years of peace and prosperity 1t
seems almost Impossible that war. and
war in its worst form, should blot on

Everything and everybody is organ

while he preached peace he plotted
war. and the recent Developments GER

about him such men as Admiral Won

his friends that he loved to listen to
his father and Prince Furstenbers

sons have been brought up in a n1ili-'

at least fun column in a daily news
