I would set IS as the absolute
minimum on which a girl, dependent
O. her own resources, may scrape
. ong in Washington. But when you
90 this amount as a prospective
legal minimum wage. you bring
otner problems nearly as pressing
l. those girls now face"
Mrs Walter S. Uford Is a strong
pporter of the minimum wage for
omen. She would broaden the
h~ope of anv proposed law to in
,ude men. But the minimum wage
wolves other difficulties Of employ
Ilent which she discussed with a
lncn, common sense and an evident
|I-nowledge of working conditions.
First, we must admit an en-
overs right to get his moneys
r. prth, as well as girls right to
tain comforts. Any consideration
at does not include that side of
8 question will get us nowhere"
fNplained Mrs. Ufford. Likewise,
a minimum wage discussion, the
finite variety of human .capability
must be taken into consideration.
Cannot Live On Less.
Suppose we should put a mimi
mum wage law into effect how in
Washington. The minimum proba-
0ly would be s. or So. 1t rightly
should be, for a woman or girl, even
when she does a portion of her own
washing and Of her own cooking,
annot live on less than that
mount.
What is to become of the hun
reds Of girls getting 81 and s. a
week who are not now worth any
more?
There are plenty Of such girls
whose small income Is needed TO
add to the general family income.
Loss OF their positions would rot
only be a personal, but a family dis
aSter. That is why / believe a
minimum wage should start with
the head OF the family. The District
should set the example by paying
It's own laborers a reasonable liv-
ing wage"
So far as Washington is concern
cd. Mrs. Ufford believes the mini
CnUm wage problem involves other
questions now being agitated.
Adequate School Preparation.
For example, the vocational
training need Is emphasized when
ever the minimum wage matter Is
considered" she said. There is
now no adequate public school prep
aration for dozens of business open
.ngs for girls. Girls must get ex-
perience in millinery. in domestic
service. in salesmanship, and In
similar vocations at the expense OF
their employers. 1t is not SOUND
economics to demand that employ
ers pay these girls the same wages
while they are learning the business
as they do more experienced en-
ployes.
Furthermore. the minimum wage

Fascinating little jackets or coat

worn in the summer months over
white gowns.
Ruches and rugs will be used to
adorn open necks of dresses during

, A tunic and ruffles Of silk and a

So great is the fad for the Elton

shown with the waist as near like 3

IILT
THE CURSE
BY Jane Whitaker.


He heard the false lure Of Industrial
Kings,
AS they drove men on to work
With the promise of pef that labor
brings
To the toiler who does not shirk;
He stood in the mills where the air
was hot
AS Hell on a midsummer day,
Or the bowels of the earth where
mems bones rot,
And their brains and their nerves
decay.
Then he rode away in a side-door car,
And slept, his coat meath his head;
And travelled he near, or travelled he
far,
He never went hungry for bread;
Yet he did not toll, for he was too
wise,
To bend to the rich mans rod;
He knew that work is a thing to de-
spise,
For work is the Curse of God.

Apply Sloan's Freely For LumbagO

Your attacks of Lumbago are not
nearly so hopeless as they seem. You
can relieve them almost instantly by
a simple application of Sloan's Lini-
ment on the back and loins. Lumbago
is a form of rheumatism, and yields
perfectly to Sloan's, which penetrates
quickly all in through the sore, tender
muscles, limbers up the back and
makes it feel fine. Get a bottle of
Sloan's Liniment for % cents of
any druggist and have it in the
house-against colds, sore and swol-
len joints, rheumatism, neuralgia,
sciatica and like ailments. Your
money back if not satisfied, but it
does give almost instant relief.
