Probing Cost Of Living.

An investigation OF the merits and
the necessity for a minimum wage is
being made by the Wisconsin Indus
trial commission in it's activity in es-
tablishing justice between the en-
ployes and employers of Wisconsin.
Information is being sought and
statistics are being compiled of the
estimated present expenses of working
girls. These statistics Will show not
what the girl would like to have or
should have. but what she actually
gets.
A typical estimate OF expenses for a
year has been compiled by Miss Glen
ora Camp of the free employment
office. A meager average estimate for
years board and room is S16S. OF
course many would say that this is
too small. This would allow $3.50 a
week. or SO cents a day, for food, and
one dollar a week for the room. Board
and room of course are the chief
items.
The estimate for clothes for the en-
tire year is conservatively placed at
S42o. 1nlS WOulu ailOW uOluluB Out
the bare necessities and would exclude
all fancy dressing.
The laundry bill, allowing so cents
a week, would total $25 for the year
The doctor and dentist bill is placed
at five dollars.
Contributions to a church or soci-
ETY. is placed at one dollar.
Spending money, including the cost
of amusements. is placed at 80 cents a
week. or SIS during the year.
Incidentals are placed at $25. which
is an absurdly small estimate. For
example, If the girl had ride on the
car. spending 10 cents every day, the
expense for the year would total
$3.50. The incidental fund, therefore,
which includes the thousand and one
methods in which money might be
spent. extravagantly or necessarily,
amounts to less than seven cents a
day.

Northern Wisconsin.

Madison.-State Forester E. NJ
Griffith says that the state board of
forestry had sixty deputy fire wardens
working in the forest fire sections OF
the state and is making every effort
to prevent any serious fires. Mr.
Griffiths believes that with the sys-
tenn of lookout towers, telephones, pa
trolls and fire fighting equipment avail
able there is not much danger of any
forest fire getting beyond control in
or near the state forest reserve. This
territory guarded by the state fores-
try board is principally at the head

Wolf and ST. Croix rivers. So far
twelve small fires have broken out in
