10Th CENTURY CLUB
DISCUSSES WAGES
Come G. Brown Declares Mini
mum Rule Is Ruinous to
Many Men in Industries.

The minimum wage question was dis
cussed at length at the first meeting
OF the year of the Twentieth Century
Club In All Souls Church today.
Rome G. Brown, Minneapolis at
torney, who opposes statutory minimum
wages, said: "Ethically It Is "A philan-
thropic work in which all should assist ;
economically 1t Is ruinous to the en-
ployc and destructive of the employer =
business, and constitutionally 1t is con-
fisCatory and impossible of enforce
ment"
DIR. A. J. McKelway, secretary OF the
national child labor committee. OF
Washington, declared the theories held
by Attorney Brown and other opponents
OF the minimum wage law were all well
as far az they went, but they did not
so far enough. and that experience
which had demonstrated the wisdom OF
the minimum wage was much better
thar theories.
Attorney Brown said the claim that
low wages were responsible for immor-
aity has hccn dissipated. and was
scarcely ever heard now. He declared
compulsory minimum wages had driven
many business men out Of industries,
and this deprived the persons the law
was designed to help Of employment.
Tho speaker said the State legislatures
wont beyond the police powers of tho
state when they compelled an employer

History. as we'll as the Boiling family
records. says that the real name OF
pocahontas was Matoaka. and that
name has been given TO- several rno ue,
Rolfc. 1t was the custom OF the In
dians of the early days to withhold
heir real or secret" name from
strangers. and for that reason Poca-
hontas' father became known as Pow.
hatan. tribe name. though his rea!
name was WahunsonaCook.
Some histories say that Pocahontas
was given three names. not unusual
when relatives of Indian royalty could
not agree on one. One Is recorded as
.Amonate: the second or secret name
being Matoaka. meaning Little Snow
Feather" and the third being Poca-
hontas. meaning "a bright stream be-

The brief history OF Pocahontas ends
sadly. for she died In her early tven-
ties. She was born. as near as can be
learned in 1895. in the Indian CITY Of
Powhata. near the site of which Rich

EASY WAYS TO AVOID WASTE
Many Methods by Which the Left

pieces Of cold beef Cut them In small
pieces and cover with water. boil til
tender. add an onion, carrot. pota-
toes. little turnip, spoonful o!
rice. pepper and salt. Serve with
slices OF toasted bread.
Scraps of veal, mutton. lamb OF
lean pork. alone or all together. make
a fine meat pie, or. finely chopped up.
may be heated in tomato sauce
Remnants OF fowl Of any kind car
be served with cream sauce; bashed
with a dash OF mustard and served
on toast; used as sandwiches. The
bones OF fowl slowly simmered in wa
ter for long time give the founda-
ton for rich soup
Chop pieces of cold ham finely. sea
son with onion and mustard and use
for sandwiches, with scrambled eggs
or in hash Horseradish makes a
good seasoning for this
Other vegetables may be used In
hash or stews. or as vegetable
salad
Cold beans and corn warmed up In
