RESERVE OF AMATEUR
AVIATORS Is URGED
Capt. Hugh Willoughby. of Navy
League. Holds Important Confer
ence with Secretary Daniels.

Capt Hugh willoughby. of the naval
reserve committee of the Navy League,
the first amateur aeronaut and aviator
in the United States, called on Secretary
Daniels yesterday and offered his services
for the Naval Reserve.
Capt. Willoughby was told that no pro-
vision was made for enrolling aviators
and aeronauts for the Naval Reserve
unless they were men who had been
former naval officers or enlisted men in
the navy. Capt WiIloughby declared
that he was much surprised that no pro-
vision had been made for enrolling not
only men like himself, but also amateur
aviators and aeroplane owners who could
be of service in time of war, as well as
the sailors of our merchant marine, lake
shipping and from our fishing fleets.
Capt. wflloughby suggested to Secre-
tary Daniels that a vigorous effort be
made to have a law placed upon the
statute books providing for a general
naval reserve made up of all men so
trained as to be serviceable who could
be persuaded to enlist for reserve service.

A Score of Years
Ago and Now

AT no time in its history
has this section been better
able to substantiate its claim
as The Best Suburb Of the
National Capital than now.
Twenty years ago Chevy
Chase was designed to meet
what was then believed to be
a demand for a high-grade
suburb at a fair price. Ex-
perience has shown that such
a demand existed. The prob
lem has been in maintaining
the high standard set.
If you have any doubt as
to how that problem has been
met we ask that you make a
personal inspection.

Anne Morgan has written a dynamic
little book called "The American Girl:

presented the American girl as she
really is in all walks Of life, and has
offered a few suggestions on how to
make the American girl the ideal girl
That the American girl is misunder-
stood abroad is now generally realized.
Miss Morgan says:
For generations, now, current lit

in English novels as a wild, undisci-
plined creature, with desire for every
luxury and a corresponding objection
TO any personal restraint. Germany

Toance KoTexs Views ON Minimum Wage Legislation

the American Federation of Labor, ex-
pressed the attitude Of unions gen.
orally when he said that "a minimum
wage established by law was apt to
become the maximum wage" "The
American Federation Of Labor and its
affiliated bodies cannot put themselves
in the position of favoring any wage
regulation by law" he told the Mini
mum Wage Commission of the Ma
tional Civic Federation at a recent
meeting. THE standpoint Of union
labor is that minimum wage standards
should De fixed by the unions. In this
way the maximum would not be low
cred. ard there would be permanent
benefits accruing to workers"
And at the same meeting Walter
Drew. counsel for the National Free

ments Of Mr.. Frayne. Eve pay good
wages as an open shop organization"
Mr.. Drew explained. ave do ehis, first.
because we believe il is fair to the
workers, and. second, we do IL because
we know if we didn't they would get
together and make trouble.
ave consider that any group Of
workers with grievance is potentially
organized. We know that at the first
opportunity the workers will make
common cause Of their grievance. SO
we make a minimum wage OF our own
that rests on an economic foundation.
This idea Of having the state step in
and make a horizontal level for wages
may be socially desirable. but econom-
ically II won't work. l find that labor
ing people do not back the measure for
a minimum wage. | think woren social
workers chiefly are interested in such
legislation"
