The question of how long COW can

ALL NOW LEAD SIMPLE LIFE
Why Sensible Men and Women Are
Doing Without Luxuries to Which
They Were Accustomed.

Every sensible man and woman to-
day is a simple-lifer. There are so
many things which are difficult to get,
so many controllers are hemming us
In with prohibitions that we are max
ing our lives simpler and more simple
every day. Curiously enough. the
large majority of US are feeling all the
better for it We walk where we once
mOtored and the exercise sets the stag
nant blood in our veins running with
fresh yigor. We eat less and digest
more. SO little have we felt the depri-
walton that most Of us are declaring
that for the future it is to be the
simple life forever" There are If
course, some who struggle in their abb
surd vanity to keep the old life alive.
Their time is mainly spent in evading
the orders of the food controller or in
discovering new sources of extrava-
gance. Some day they will realize
their mistake and join the happy army
of simple-lifers. You cannot have
your cake and eat it. Our cake today
is victory in the great war for free
dom, truth and justice. That can only
be ours if we deny ourselves all the
other cakes we once loved so much.
The simple-lifer is doing his duty ana
that is why he is happy His is the
vision without which. as Solomon told

out OF doors in various villages have
been well attended, the truck being
used in the afternoon and early eve

reach the Portuguese, French and Ital-
ian people. These people would not
come to an indoor meeting. but eager
ly collected on the sidewalk to watch
the demonstration. They were glad to
receive literature written in their own
language.
In various towns of Windham coun-
ty. Connecticut, the canning campaign
carried on by INSTRUMENTATION
agents was furthered by the use of an
outdoor stereopticon which threw
views on a screen over store window.
This attracted good audiences, and

NOW WOUNDS CAUSE A
AOV RISE OF TEMPER


AZURE IN PLANT FAMILY
1t appears from some expert
ments made in Washington that
when plants are wounded their
respiration increases and at the
same time their temperature per-
ceptibly rises as if kind of
fever had been produced by the
Z wound
A thermoelectric apparatus
capable of registering a change
of one four-hundredth of de-
gree was employed. When a POI
tato was wounded the fever
manifested itself by an eleva-
ton of temperature which was
greatest at the end of "a hours,
when it began slowly to decline.
An onion similarly treated ac-
quired an increase of tempera-
ture many times greater than
that shown by the potato, and
the fever instead of being con-
fined to the neighborhood of the
wound affected the whole onion.
In fact, the onion proved to he
more readily affected in this way
than any other vegetable expert
mented with.
The rise of temperature is
caused by increased absorption
of oxygen.

So MINIMUM
BILL HEARINGS
BEGIN FRIDAY
Rep. Nolan Confident the
House Will Act Favorably
on Pay Measure.

The House Labor Committee will
hold public hearings Friday on the
Nolan three-dollar minimum wage
bill. All organizations of government
employees are preparing to urge the
committee to report the bill favora-
bly,.
The Nolan bill Is sponsored by Rep
resentative John l. Nolan, of Cali
fornia, a member of the Labor Com
mittee, who has taken a leading part
in the fight for a permanent rear
rangement of wages of government
employees.
The Nolan bill applies to all govern
ment civilian employees who have been
employed for not less than two years
and who have attained the age of
twenty years. 1t fixes the minimum
wage at not less than 81 $50 per
annum IL employed by the year; not
less than $50 a month II employed
by the month; not less than SS
day; or not less than 81 Ia cents per
hour II employed by the hour. or for
a fraction Of a day.
Nolan L. CONFIDENT
Representative Nolan Is confident
the House will pass his measure.
There were enough written pledges
in favor of the 50 minimum wage bill
in the Sixty-fourth Congress to in
sure its passage, but unfortunately
the parliamentary situation was such
that vote could not be had he
said I'VE are trying to prevent
ike situation in this Congress by
UafNfnur he
IN ample time to insure its mature
consideration.
Every argument advanced for pas-
sage OF the Nolan bill at the hearings
held two years ago is doubly true to-
day. The plight of the poorer-paid
government employe. the men and
women receiving less than S,lOo a
year-and there are thousands Of
them-is deplorable. With the basic
necessities soaring skyward, these
workers can scarcely keep body and
soul together. For the Congress TO
ignore their pleas would be inhumane
! and unjust.
''The government Is asking private
employers having war contracts to
take into consideration increased Iiv-
ing costs in fixing wage standards: IL
can do no less itself in ~ capacity
Of an employer.
Congress is the agency to which
these poorer paid government workers
| must appeal. They are doing so in
an orderly fashion. II we fail to re-
spond we stamp ourselves as willing
to put the government in the position
of sweating its employees prac-
tice We have denounced in private
employment.
mo one familiar with modern In
dustrial conditions will today argue
that 50 minimum wage, as provided
| in my bill, is exorbitant. Many muni-
cipalities have a larger minimum.
am hopeful that the Labor Commit
tee will report out the bill. as it did
in the SiXty-fourth Congress, so that
the many members in the House who
favor granting relief to this deserving
but neglected group of faithful work.
ers will have the opportunity of vot-
ing for it at an early date
The Nolan bill has the Endorsement

Employees and the National Fedora
! tion Of Federal Employees and many
| other organizations of government
workers.
