The Temps Ia Paris newspaper,
estimates the Russian losses at more
than 1000. 900. OF which more than IL
million have been killed"
All the world shuddered at that
news dispatch OF the Associated Press
yesterday.
Russian dead, one.half million!
The horror OF II staggers us.
Now read this dispatch from New
York city, which was printed the
same day:
THE loss OF half million men as
the result OF the present warfare could
be made good in less than ten years
through complete abstinence from al
coholic beverages by all the inhabit-
ants OF Russia"
In other words, palmer, maybe, TO
understand: In four and one-half
months OF war Russia has had as many
men killed as alcohol killed within her
borders each ten years.
Arthur Hunter, New York insur-
ance actuary, made that statement in
q report to the convention OF the AS
ISOLATION Of Life Insurance Presidents.
Mr.. Hunter is chairman OF commit
tee that has had charge OF l.2-
year inquiry into the effects OF alco-
mol drinking. The investigation dealt

ground that the welfare OF the state
requires that women and minors
should be protected from conditions
OF labor which have a pernicious ell
tect on their health and morals, and
inadequate wages and unduly long
hours and unsanitary conditions OF
labor have such pernicious effect"
In his brief before the court, Mr..
Brandeis says: THE facts OF com
mon knowledge concerning the effects
or the employment OF women In In
dustrial occupations establish, we
submit. .conclusively, that there Is
reasonable ground for holding that 10
permit women In Oregon TO work for
inadequate wages Is dangerous to the
public health, safety, morals, or wei
fare"
Mr.. Brandeis pointed out that such
legislation has been on the statute
books OF New Zealand for 20 years
the first law having been enacted in
1894. He showed how similar legis-
lation was enacted by New South
Wales In 1901. by western Australia
In 1902, and by the Australian COM
monwealth In 1904. The province OF
Victoria followed In 1896, and then
came South Australia. Queensland
and Tasmania. Following the exam.
pie OF her colonies, Great Britain en-
acted her first minimum wage law In
1909 for four trades; and I'm 1913 for
four additional trades.
Mr.. Brandeis said TO the court that
the single thing for them to determine
was, first, whether the evils OF low
wages actually exist "a point admit
ted by the attorneys on the other
side), and, second. whether the legis-
lature did a reasonable thing when it
attempted TO cure the evils by mini
mum wage legislation.
Investigation proves he said.
! "that with insufficient wages, food is
necessarily cut down below the level
of subsistence. In order TO meet un-
avoidable expenses for lodging and
clothing, working women often re-
! duce their diet TO the lowest possible
point and health inevitably suffers.
Investigation proves that workers re-
ceiving the lowest wages are able TO
spend least on health. Hence, they
are often without care In sickness, al
though their need Is greatest by rea-
son OF low earnings and consequent
hardship. Authorities agree in the
opinion that while the underpayment
| OF women and the consequent strug-
gle TO live may not be the primary
cause for entering upon an immoral
I life. IL is inevitably one OF the most
| important contributing factors. When
wages are too low to supply nourish-
ment and other human needs. temp
tation is more readily Yielded to-"
Every argument advanced here as
TO the possible injury to industry from
! the passage OF minimum wage laws
can be found duplicated in the de-
bates before the English parliament

WASHINGTON. Dec, 2l--The fate
OF women workers in the United
States In the generations TO come is
now In the hands OF nine men. The
United States supreme court has con.
Guided its hearings OF arguments and
has taken under advisement the case
OF Stettler VS.. O'Hara, and Simpson
VS.. OHara-otherwise known as the
Oregon minimum wage case.
On It's deeislon-rendered at its
conyenience-will depend for all-time

tina, an employer shall not pay less
wages TO woman than are SUFFICIENT
for her to maintain a decent exis-
tence.
Louis d, Brandeis. appearing In be.
half OF the Oregon wage commission.
has concluded his oral argument be
fore the court. having been granted
one hour in which t. present his case.
With his incisiye, convincing logic.
Brandeis swept aside the mazS OF
ltechnicalities and circumlocution In
which the opposing attorneys had en-.
veloped the case and brought forth
the single point at namely,
whether the legislators OF the state
OF Oregon. knowing the terrible con-
ditions resulting from low wages
among women and girls In industry,
has exceeded It's powers under the
constitution of the United States I'm
Interfering with the liberty" OF help
less girls and women 10 contract Ia
work at such wages as they please
The supreme court OF Oregon has al
ready ruled against the employers.
The persons bringing suit In the fed
eral case contend that the Oregon
minimum wage law Is a violation OF
the fourteenth amendment 10 the fed
eral constitution, which prohibits any
state from making any law which
shall abridge the privileges or i'm
munities OF citizens OF the United
States" The plaintiffs contend that
the establishment OF a minimum wage
TO be paid to women interferes with
their privileges and immunities'
work at starvation wages.
Nine states have enacted minimum
wage laws for women. including Cali
fornia, Oregon. Washington. Utah
Nebraska. Colorado. Minnesota, Wis
consin and Massachusetts. Other
states have this legislation under con
sideration. Congress now has before
IL legislation TO establish a minimum
wage for women in the District OF
Columbia. Four other states have
such legislation pending. II the SUI
preme court should declare the Ore
gon law unconstitutional. this legislat
ton would thereby be wiped on the
statute books of the other nine states
and the possibility of protecting the
health and welfare OF women by In
surfing them living wage would van
ish. 1t would take constitutional
amendment to override the supreme
-eourt--a task requiring quarter of a
century.

Mother Knows
BY ELLEN J. PAPPE

Nobody knows OF the work IL takes
To keep the home together.
Nobody knows OF the steps 10 takes,
Nobody knows but mother.
Nobody listens 10 childish woes
Which kisses only smother.
Nobody pained by the mighty blow,
Nohody--only mother.
Nobody knows OF the sleepess care
Bestowed on baby brother.
Nobody knows OF the dreamless night.
Nobody knows but mother.
Nobody knows OF the lessons taught
OF loving one another,
Nobody knows OF the patience sought,
Nobody--only mother,
Nobody knows OF the anxious fears
Lest darlings may not weather
storms OF this life in the coming years,
Nobody knows but mother
Nobody knows OF the tears that start
The GRIEF she'd gladly smother;
Nobody knows of the breaking heart
Nobody--only mother.
Nobody clings 10 the wayward child
Though sCorned by every other,
Leads IL so gently from pathways Wild,
Nobody can but mother.
Nobody knows OF the hourly prayers
For him. our errlng brother
Pride OF her heart, once SO pure and
fair.
Nobody--only mother.

Barrett sat In his cabin one
night, thinking, still longing for

The Care Of Children
Block Plays.


No, not the blocks as we know
them on the toy-shop counters: pic
ture blocks, blocks that are accom-
panied by printed directions telling a
child exactly how to fit them together
to make a miniature house. a barn or
a wall; nor even the tiny stone
blocks that are cut in a myriad con-
fusing shapes.
These are dead toys for your child
because they think for him. He
wants live toys; toys that give him an
opportunity to use his own brain in
planning his play and his own hands
in carrying It out Most of all does
your child want-need-a set OF plain,
uniform pine blocks.
Select a set of large. smoothly
planed. carefully cut blocks and. II
possible. provide box for them that
the child may learn order and neat
ness through putting them away when
his play is done. These blocks may
be cut in the shape of cubes. half
cubes. bricks. pillars and square
plinths to provide for constructing the
architectural form dear to the child;
doors, roofs, bridges. chimneys, win
dows. gates and walls. And they
should be large blocks. so generous
of dimension that little hands must
stretch to hold them and their weight
test and strengthen the child's mus.
cles as he lays the last brick on the
very top of the chimney of the house
he has built all alone.
